Chapter 543: Make Up Your Mind
"Lao Zhang, have you thought about it? To go to the South Seas? ”
After the newspaper was published, a middle-aged man in a small remote village in Nanjun shouted towards the courtyard through the fence.
"Alas! Aren't you still thinking about it? If you go, how will you spend the past few years? Even if you use all the money in your family to buy food, I'm afraid it won't be enough! ”
The man in the courtyard took two steps forward, opened the door, and frowned to invite the middle-aged man in.
"Haha! We've been thinking about it before, so we've been hesitating, but take a look at today's paper! ”
The middle-aged man happily stuffed the newspaper into Lao Zhang's arms.
And Lao Zhang is a simple peasant, he doesn't know a few big characters, he holds the newspaper in his hand, turns it upside down a few times, and he can't understand it, so he hurriedly beckons to the son of the family, "Dazhu, hurry up and take a look, what is written in this newspaper?" ”
"Okay!"
The people in the house answered and quickly ran out.
I picked up the newspaper and read it carefully, and the more I looked at it, the more smile on my face became.
"Dazhu, don't laugh too hard! Tell me what's written on it? ”
Seeing the change in his expression, Lao Zhang was anxious and kept urging.
"Daddy! It is said that the imperial court will set up a fleet to transport people and goods back and forth! If you want to go to Nanyang, you can take a train to Nanhai County, and then take a steamship to Nanyang, there will be a boat every two days, which is very convenient! ”
"Yikes! That's great! This matter of the imperial court is really done in the hearts of our people! ”
Hearing this, it can break the old Zhang Le.
"Daddy! In addition to this, the imperial court will also set up some material purchase points in Nanyang to sell daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and grain! Before the rubber tree grows, we can also pick spices and sell them at the material point for money, so as to ensure our income before the rubber tree grows! ”
"What? Can you sell spices on the island? ”
Lao Zhang was shocked to stuff an egg in his mouth.
Obviously, they wanted to go to Nanyang to make money, but they didn't expect the imperial court to be so supportive, and they also offered all kinds of convenient conditions!
Not only can you buy daily necessities on the island, but the spices you pick can also be sold directly to the imperial court, which is not too good!
"That's right! It was clearly written in this newspaper ......! ”
Dazhu nodded firmly and asked excitedly, "Dad, shall we go then?" ”
"Needless to say? Go! Go for sure! Those noble and wealthy families in our county bought a boat together, went to Nanyang to pick spices, picked up treasures, and really made a windfall! Now, we can not only go to Nanyang, but also live in Nanyang! Every day when the sun rises, I go to pick up spices, take care of the rubber trees from time to time, and in a few years, just tapping rubber is enough for our family to live! ”
They have imagined such days countless times during this time.
But when you think about the troubles, and until the rubber trees are ripe, life is not secure.
Even if you pick spices on the island and exchange treasures in the hands of the natives, what is the use if you can't take them to Daqin to sell?
I hesitated for a few days, but I never had the intention of signing up.
Even Lao Wang, who brought the newspaper over, was the same.
I thought about it for days, but I didn't make up my mind!
"Haha! When we arrive in Nanyang, it's like picking up money, based on the current price of spices, even if we only pick one pound of spices every day, it is enough to earn a month now! You have to talk about factory work to earn ten gold, like we plant this little land, we can't earn ten gold! ”
Lao Wang, who brought the newspaper, said with a smile.
"Yes! Let's be a family as soon as we go, and we won't earn him one or two hundred gold a month? ”
"Haha! So, Lao Wang, have you made up your mind? ”
Lao Zhang asked.
"Of course, the imperial court has opened up such favorable conditions for us, can we not go? After working in Nanyang for a few years, we are rich people! ”
Lao Wang nodded.
"Good! Lao Wang, when the time comes to choose the position, we are still neighbors, your lady died early, it is not easy for you to take two children alone, when the parents need help, just open your mouth, my son, you will treat it as your own, greet at any time! ”
Lao Zhang laughed enthusiastically.
"Good! Lao Zhang, when you arrive in Nanyang, you will inevitably have to trouble you and your sister-in-law! ”
Lao Wang also squinted his eyes and nodded again and again.
……
After the newspaper was published, many people wanted to go to Nanyang to earn a lot of wealth, just like them.
As long as you fool the rubber tree into a lumber for a few years, it's easy to talk about later!
Just by cutting rubber, a family will not have to worry about it in this life!
There are supply points set up by the imperial court on the island, and you can buy everything, isn't it the same as in Xianyang?
With the increase in population, there will be a lot of businessmen coming and going, so it will be even more lively!
Sign up early to grab a good spot.
If it's late, there's only some leftovers left!
Thinking of this, the number of applicants in each county increased dramatically, and within a week, it grew to 3,000!
Compared with the existing population of Great Qin, these people are nothing, but compared with the dozens of people before, they have already increased a hundred times, and there is a world of difference!
Besides, the registration is still continuing, as long as there are people willing to immigrate to Nanyang, the imperial court will give distribution of land!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the household department sent a silver ticket of 30 million gold, saying that he wanted to buy twenty steamships!"
Suddenly receiving such a large sum of money, Huang Yuan was a little confused, and hurriedly ran to find Ying Feiyu.
"If you want to buy it, let's sell it!"
Ying Feiyu stretched his waist and said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about this?"
Seeing that he didn't have a hint of shock, Huang Yuan was even more puzzled.
"That's right, this deal was brokered by Prince Ben!"
Thinking of Ying Zheng's expression that day, Ying Feiyu couldn't help laughing.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made it happen?"
"That's right! Originally, the prince wanted to set up a fleet and transport it to the people of Nanyang, but his father had to rob it, and I, as a minister, had to let it, so I had this money! ”
"I see!"
Huang Yuan seemed to understand.
But only Xiao Zhengtai knows, he doesn't understand at all!
"So the shipyard is going to continue production?"
After a while, Huang Yuan asked.
"Of course, why not produce?"
"What if people buy boats and do the work of transporting them?"
"This has nothing to do with us, the people can choose for themselves! The ships of the imperial court have a high safety factor, and the civilian ships have no experienced sailors, let alone soldiers to escort them, and in the event of strong winds and waves, or pirate robbery, life and property are not guaranteed! ”
After seeing the imperial court's transport fleet, the common people will definitely have such an idea.
But according to Ying Feiyu's guess, the people would rather spend a few more dollars than take their boats!
Once your life is gone, there's nothing left!
