"I want to say that the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants."

Zhu Daohua said with a smile.

Sun Shiyi glanced at Zhu Daohua, and just as he was about to say something, he saw Zhu Daohua walking towards the port with his feet raised, and motioned for him to follow along.

Sun Shiyi hurriedly followed.

Several guards with swords and handcuffs on their waists also hurried to follow.

Zhu Daohua looked at the sails coming and going, and said, "What can you see from the mountain?" ”

Sun Shiyi looked up, and then said cautiously: "It is indeed quite busy, in the former Qing Dynasty, only Guangzhou had seaport trade, so before this, this Suzhou Port only had river ships going to the canal and Wuchang direction, and there were almost no sea ships." ”

"The comings and goings of these sea vessels are a symbol of wealth, a symbol of opportunity." Zhu Daohua said with emotion, "The price of rice is a little lower, it can't hurt the farmers, on the contrary, if most of the people can only be trapped in the land, then generations will not be able to turn over, I have opened this door, and will give more opportunities to the people of Daming in the future!" ”

"When they go to run boats, go to work, go to be soldiers, and go to the South Seas, won't they all have a better way to survive than to guard that little bit of arable land?"

Zhu Daohua said.

Sun Shiyi was just about to nod and pat the founding emperor's ass.

On the berth plank road not far away, two dark-faced men in the prime of life jumped their feet and cried towards the river.

"There's no way to live! There's no way to live! ”

"I said that I couldn't come out and couldn't come out, but now it's okay, my daughter-in-law has lost everything! Oops, aa

The two beat their chests and feet, looking like they didn't want to live.

Let Zhu Daohua, the son of tomorrow, couldn't help but touch his nose.

The two walked over.

Zhu Daohua shouted: "Hey, old man, it's very bitter!" ”

is crying is Niu Zhaocai, a native of Hengtang, Changzhou, and his younger brother Niu Jinbao is also wiping tears next to him.

Niu Zhaocai saw that the person who came was tall, and his clothes didn't look very gorgeous, but he was magnificent, and the old man who followed him was also slightly hunched, and the handsome young man in front of him was afraid that he was not the eldest young master of a wealthy family in Suzhou Mansion, right?

Thinking of this, Niu Zhaocai hurriedly pulled Niu Jinbao beside him, wiped away his tears, tidied up the clothes on his body, and bowed: "Don't make fun of me, this master is only twenty years old this year." ”

Twenty years old?

Zhu Daohua was stunned for a moment, and then had no choice but to give up: "I didn't see it, I dared to ask my little brother's surname, why did you cry just now." ”

"The small one is from Niujia Village, Hengtang, Changzhou, and his surname is Niu Zhaocai, which is my brother Niu Jinbao."

Fortune and treasure.

Good name!

"I just cried because I bought the capital of the ancestral land of my family, and it fell on the boat, if this capital is gone, then I will be ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors!"

"I said that I used this money to do some business in my hometown, just take the house and daughter-in-law, now it's okay, I have to come to Suzhou Mansion to wander, I just got off the boat and even the capital is gone, but how is it good, how is it good...."

Niu Jinbao wiped his tears and complained on the side.

"Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! You're thinking about your daughter-in-law! If you don't think about redeeming your ancestral property, how can you go out! ”

Niu Zhaocai said with a glare.

"Didn't you mortgage the ancestral property too! Last year, everyone planted mulberry, you just said that no one planted rice, this year the price of rice must be high, mortgaged the ancestral field to buy cattle and horses waterwheel seeds, drove away the tenants to farm their own fields, now it's good, the price of rice is so low, even the book can't be recovered! ”

Ox Fortune Period Ai Ai sighed.

"Who would have thought that the rice transported from the South Seas all the way is cheaper than locally grown rice?"

"It's useless to say anything, the capital is gone, the travel expenses back to the hometown are gone, how good it would be to use that money to get a daughter-in-law."

"Ugh..."

The two sighed again.

After talking to Zhu Daohua for a while, the tears stopped.

But how do you get the money back?

The berths at Suzhou Port are charged by the hour.

The bow of the boat was eager to drive the passengers down like a pig, and then quickly drove the boat away.

Not to mention that the bow of the ship is now far away and can't be heard, even if it can be heard, I'm afraid that it won't be delayed for more than half a day for the two brothers to queue up to enter the port again.

Zhu Daohua knew that it was the fortune and treasure brothers who lost money in farming, and mortgaged Zutian to plan to come out and make up for the hole, but the result was unfavorable, and as soon as he got off the boat, he found that the capital fell on the boat.

Zhu Daohua glanced to the side, and soon a clipper boat set off.

"Don't panic, the matter has come to this, why don't you think about what to do in the future?"

"What else can I do? We had to go to the construction site to work as coolies, and I heard that the railroad company was recruiting workers, alas, I thought that I had also read the books of the sages, and now I was reduced to doing such vulgar things..."

This wrinkled old farmer in his twenties who looks like he is in his forties has actually read a book?

But it's not surprising to think about it.

The Niu brothers have ancestral property.

Although he did not seem to be very wealthy, he was at least a small landowner who had no worries about food and clothing compared to the tenant farmers.

When I was a child, it was possible to go to a private school for two years.

However, it is unlikely that you can read it to a very high level.

Otherwise, this little old man-like Niu Jincai will go to the Xiucai test.

Now the Ming Dynasty is a showman, and the number of officials needed is very large.

So it's a little bit of a level, and it's almost the same to buy the textbooks for the basic township test and study by yourself for a year and a half.

"Go to work? I've heard that the British have been recruiting auxiliaries to India lately, and they're being treated well. ”

"Hey, this is a deal to fight for your life, my brother can't do this." Niu Jincai waved his hand again and again and said.

"It's the same, thousands of miles of ocean, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, it is difficult to bury bones in a different place, and the soldiers are as fierce as tigers and wolves."

"Eh... Father.. Boo, boo! ”

Niu Jincai hurriedly lowered his voice.

"You don't want to die, dare to say such anti-thief words!"

"How do you know it's a thief?"

"You don't know yet? What kind of anti-thieves are these United Party propagation....." Niu Jincai said in a low voice.

"What did they say?"

"How dare I say this, anyway, it's a big rebellion, although the son of heaven of the Zhu family is benevolent, I'm afraid that if he listens to those words, he will also cut off his head!"

"Then why don't you go to Nanyang to run a boat? I've heard that the shipowners of Nanyang are all looking for people right now. ”

"Do you make money running boats?"

Before Niu Zhaocai could speak, Niu Jinbao leaned over and asked.

"Earn, anyway, it's better than going to build railways." Zhu Daohua said, "But you have to be bold." ”

"There is no royal law on the sea, and it is difficult to say what happened." Niu Zhaocai shook his head.

"Don't you just go out of Nanyang, Nanyang is now also the land of king's law, and the pirates along the coast of Fujian are now washing their hands." Niu Jinbao said, "Big brother, I don't think we're going to do business anymore, you and I are not this material, it's better to go to the boat and fight, fight for two years, you take a sister-in-law, I take a daughter-in-law, okay." ”

While a few people were talking.

A clipper boat returned.

An attendant jumped ashore from the boat and came straight towards Zhu Daohua, kicking a burlap bag in his hand.

"This is..."

The Niu brothers were immediately overjoyed.

Wait for Zhu Daohua to signal and hand them the burden.

After a thousand thanks, brothers.

Zhu Daohua left with Sun Shiyi.

"The big guy..."

The Niu brothers looked at Zhu Daohua's back, and Niu Jinbao said in a low voice.

"Those who can enter Suzhou Port without queuing up are at least at the level of the Suzhou prefect!"

"Have you ever seen such a young prefect?"

"Hey, we haven't even seen the governor look like anything."

"That's it, the capital is back, but you can plan to do some business."

"Is it really profitable to go to Nanyang?"

.........

Suzhou Yangtze River Wharf.

The ship, laden with rice, was unloading.

With the Ming Dynasty completely lifted the ban.

The life of the merchants of the Ming Dynasty is even more prosperous.

A very lucrative trade route was opened.

It is from the mouth of the Pearl River or the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Carrying the goods of the Ming Dynasty, they went to the Maratha Federation of India, and then returned to Batam with a full load of Indian gems, ivory, spices and other goods after unloading the goods locally.

According to the Tariff Law, rice entering the mainland is a "duty-free commodity", and a certain amount of rice can be transported without other goods on board.

For example, Indian gems and ivory, which are very valuable, occupy a small cabin, and if they are brought back alone, it will be a headache for taxes alone.

But if you return home with a load of rice, the taxes you have to pay will be greatly reduced.

"This ship has to be replaced, and the Indian Ocean has not been very peaceful recently, and after this batch of Indian goods are sold, I will go to Jiangning Shipyard to pick up a new-shaped Dafu ship, the kind with at least thirty gun positions!"

The bow of the boat Cai tugged at the waist and said proudly.

Cai Lian was originally a pirate who did not have the capital to trade along the coast of Fujian.

In the past, during the Qing Dynasty.

Because the Great Shimizu Division is not very good, the broken ship can't go out to sea at all, and there is still a ban.

As a result, many coastal fishermen have become good men who do not have the capital to do business on the coast.

But after the Ming Dynasty came.

These pirates who are active along the coast have no way to survive.

Some of the bold vainly tried to confront the Ming government, but as a result, the Ming Navy sent a light fleet to sweep along the coastline, and those who were not afraid of death basically died.

The timid ones washed their hands and went ashore to buy some fields.

And people like Cai Lian have an active brain.

As long as there is a ship to register with the city, you can do business by paying a ship fare every year.

And this Daming coastal can't do every copy of the business.,It doesn't mean that you can't do it elsewhere.。

In this place where the Ming King bathed, Cai Lian did not dare to move, but when he arrived in the Indian Ocean.

For Cai Lian, this is a blue ocean that has never been developed!

There were several holes in his Daifuku ship.

In fact, they were all shot out by cannons.

However, these ships that go to the sea, in addition to maritime merchants, will also do some part-time business.

The merchants, dock workers, and compradors in the port of Suzhou were not surprised.

"After unloading, sell the old ship, buy a new one, and recruit more people!"

"Cai Tou, what name do you use to recruit people?"

"Names? Run to the South Seas! Can you still let him run away when he gets on the boat? Cai Lian said indifferently, "Anyway, follow me Cai Lian, and he won't let him suffer!" ”

"Hahahaha!"

A group of Chinese pirates who had traded from the Indian Ocean couldn't help but laugh.

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
