Of course everyone has heard of that Xiaoliuqiu, although they have not been there, but they also know that it is indeed a big island that is not much smaller than Fujian, and the attention that no one has paid attention to it before is indeed the reason why Wang Xuan said, to put it bluntly, the transportation is just inconvenient.

After all, this is ancient times, not to mention anything else, just communicating within Fujian Province, it will take more than ten days at every turn, let alone communicating overseas.

Of course, even the Wa Kingdom can sail over, and it is not right to say that you can't go to Xiaoliuqiu, after all, the Ming Dynasty also has a merchant ship of about 500 tons, but, after all, it is too few, and besides, the Ming Dynasty forbids the sea, and there are indeed only a few people who have ships, and if you want to develop Xiaoliuqiu, it is not something that thousands and hundreds of people can do.

At least, in Wang Xuan's plan, at least 100,000 people must be emigrated to complete the initial goal, and without Wang Xuan's intervention, with the transportation capacity of Fujian Province, it is absolutely impossible to complete the large-scale migration of 100,000 people.

After all, it is not simply to transport people over, but also to have the ability to communicate back and forth, all kinds of equipment, and develop a place.

In the hall, these forty or so family heads were all excited and excited, and their faces were very red, and some of them were those maritime merchants, but they were just a little better.

If they occupy and develop Xiaoliuqiu, they can also make countless profits, not to mention anything else, just the various transportation back and forth can only rely on them, which is all money!

What's more, they also want to develop a part of the land, after all, the Chinese people's feelings for land are still different from those of other races.

Seeing that everyone couldn't be quiet for a while, Wang Xuan could only secretly use his internal force to cough lightly twice, "Ahem!" ”

The sound doesn't feel loud but goes straight to everyone's brains, although it doesn't have the ability to calm the mind like Buddhist chanting, but he can remind everyone......

Lao Tzu is going to speak, you all listen to Lao Tzu obediently!

It can be said that this deterrent effect is much calmer than that mind, and the venue immediately quieted down.

"I'm a practical person, it's not my character to be scared of empty words and white teeth, prepare for it, set off in two days, we will take you to Xiaoliuqiu for a field trip, there is a way, hearing is false, seeing is believing, or actually seeing."

"We absolutely believe in Mr. Wuzhou."

"That's it, Mr. Wuzhou can't lie to me!"

"Who in the whole world doesn't know, Mr. Wuzhou is true to his word, and he will do what he says!"

As soon as Wang Xuan finished speaking, all the heads of the family immediately sent a steady stream of sycophants, for the 'traditional' craft of patting sycophants, everyone here is an eighth-level technician.

And in fact, what these bastards think, the ghost can't guess.

"Okay, that's it, let's go to Qiu Shiju for a meal in a while, and communicate, it's too difficult to gather so many people on weekdays, two days later, gather at the dock at eight o'clock in the morning, expire and don't wait, you don't have to give up this opportunity!"

After speaking, Wang Xuan walked out first.

As soon as Wang Xuan left, the room began to discuss again, and most of the people were asking what time was the eight o'clock?

It's no wonder that everyone doesn't know that the clock was brought into China in the 28th year of Wanli (1600) of the Ming Dynasty, when the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci came to China to preach. At that time, the clock he gave to the Ming Dynasty was two large and small, because it was automatically struck on time, so it was called "self-striking bell"

Although almost 20 years have passed, this process has not been promoted, or in other words, except for the palace, this thing is basically not seen outside.

There is no way, all dynasties and dynasties do not attach importance to this thing, and it is more of 'emphasizing the original and suppressing the end', where the 'root' refers to agriculture, and the 'end' refers to 'handicrafts', 'commerce' and so on.

It's just that cash is different from the past, Wang Xuan will definitely not make such a subjective mistake, he is not an emperor, and he is not worried about rebellion, he must speed up the promotion of 'industry and commerce' and 'science and technology'.

The first to be successfully copied was the 'sitting clock', and as for pocket watches, the technology is still immature and the accuracy is very low.

At this time, the Western world had pocket watches more than a hundred years ago.

"This eight o'clock is about the hour of the hour." One is that the local head of the family in Fuzhou Prefecture seized the opportunity to perform, and immediately stood up and said loudly.

"Don't be about it, if you make a mistake, wouldn't it be over, Mr. Wuzhou is not able to wait for someone, the head of the Chang family will tell everyone about it." A group of people said babbling.

"Speaking of which, it's time to mention the clock." The head of the Chang family laughed twice and continued: "This clock is also sold by Mr. Wuzhou, I heard that its inventor is overseas, and it is a kind of timekeeping thing. ”

"There's really something good going on overseas." Speaking of this, the head of the Chang family sighed and continued: "We divide the day into twelve hours, but on weekdays, we also look at the sky to estimate, but this clock is very detailed. ”

"They divided the twelve hours into 24 hours, each hour into 60 minutes, and each minute into 60 seconds, and you can tell me how precise the time is."

"I heard that the meticulousness of this time is also required by Mr. Wuzhou, saying that the production of many things used to depend on the master's own experience, such as burning paper ceramics or making other things, but now, many things can be calculated accurately to one second, so this clock was ordered to be manufactured by Mr. Wuzhou."

"Of course, now it is also sold to the outside world, but the production is limited and the scope is not large, I have a few at home, it is really convenient to have this thing, at least, there is no need to estimate the time as before."

"At the very least, you don't have to estimate the time when you make an appointment, it's early and late, I heard that Mr. Wuzhou is also going to make a big bell tower in the city, and when the time comes, the whole city can see the specific time through where it is."

"Wow, that's a good thing, I'm going to buy some in a minute."

A lot of people are talking about buying it, after all, they are all top families in Fujian, how can this kind of thing symbolizing status and status be without, it doesn't seem that their family is inferior.

"Remind you that this clock is not always available at any time, the production is limited, it is all ordered, even if you order it now, it will take a while to get the goods."

A group of people also understand that after all, this kind of novelty must be cumbersome to produce, where are there so many, there are more rich people in Fujian, and it is too normal for the supply to be not available for a while.

As for the price, no one asks, no matter how expensive it is, are you afraid that you can't afford it!

It is indeed quite expensive, Wang Xuan gave the lowest price of three hundred taels, and the highest specification of one thousand eight hundred taels of silver, after all, this thing is still a luxury product, and it is impossible to promote it at all.

A group of people came out of Lin Feng Academy one after another, and after going out, they instructed their subordinates to order clocks and watches with money, and these families all went straight to Qiu Shiju, which is so famous, but most of the family owners have never been there, after all, the whole Fujian is just such a family, and it is difficult for people from other prefectures and counties to come to Fuzhou.

Under the leadership of some local families in Fuzhou, more than 40 people went straight to Qiu Shiju, and under the introduction of the people, they knew that those who were not of noble status were absolutely forbidden to enter, and this servant and the like didn't have to think about it, and they all went to the auxiliary building to wait.

In the entire Qiu Shi residence, in addition to these guests with a high enough status, all the beauties, even the chef who cooks the dishes are also top beautiful girls.

It is also a pleasure to watch the scene cooking, the hands are dancing, the knives are flying, and the dishes are exquisite, these owners are also knowledgeable, and it is natural to see that the chefs are masters of using knives.

Look at those dancing singers, flying back and forth in the air, but not those singers in their respective houses can compare, each light body kung fu is good, of course, the most important thing is that they are beautiful, each has its own merits, each can be said to be the best in the world, at least, compared with here, those singers and concubines can only be said to be vulgar fans.

After all, there are very few women who practice martial arts, not to mention that they are required to be beautiful, and in the end, they are willing to come out and show their faces to entertain people, not to mention that they are all proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I heard, just heard, these women's training methods are from the palace, that is, the martial arts practice, and they are all in the palace for the ladies to learn, focusing on health, beauty, and regulating yin and yang.

A housekeeper wiped the halazi that involuntarily flowed out of the corner of his mouth, looked at the speaker with an eager face and asked, "Such a beauty, this, may redeem herself?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people around them immediately gathered, and they all showed eager looks.

"Yes!"

A group of people were immediately overjoyed, as long as they could, they were not short of money.

"But it's not just about money!"

"Brother, don't sell the lawsuit, tell me quickly, are you going to die in a hurry, can't I wait?"

"Hey, this person sighed, the conditions are really harsh, and everyone knows that this Qiu Shiju is Mr. Wuzhou's industry, and Mr. is not short of money, so it's useless to just pay money, even if all of us here add up, no one has more money."

"In addition to money, this is the first, you also need to 'marry', after all, it is from under Mr. Wuzhou, and they are all yellow flower girls, if you only be a concubine in your house, then where to put Mr. Wuzhou's face, so, it must be a Ming media marriage, it can not be a wife, but it must also be a flat wife!"

"Shhh Everyone here gasped, this wife and concubine are different, a flat wife, but they can't marry casually if they want to, they are all heads of the family, and every move is related to the rise and fall of the family and face.

Anyway, this is also a singer!
