The first batch of people willing to go to the island, the brave people of Nanhuizui, boarded the cargo ship of Gaojia Village and set off towards Zhoushan Island.

The atmosphere on the ship made them feel very comfortable, and the difference between the sailors of Gaojia Village and the sailors of the imperial court was too great.

The sailors of the imperial court did not treat the common people as human beings, but the sailors of Gaojia Village were "soldiers of the common people" and mingled with the people.

There are delicious food to share with the common people, and in the process of sailing, the common people are also taught to sing the majestic songs unique to Gaojia Village.

However, the people still have concerns in their hearts, and they are even more worried after they know that the place they are about to go to is Zhoushan Island.

That Zhoushan Island is an island that has long been abandoned by the imperial court, and has evolved into a pirate den, is it really reliable for us to go there to build ports, docks, and factories? Will there be pirates coming?

When they arrived at Zhoushan Island, they instantly disappeared.

I saw forty-one huge ships guarding the dock, and there were dozens of sailing ships next to them, a huge fleet of this size, not to mention just pirates, Zheng Zhilong, the most powerful naval commander on the southeast coast, was not enough to fight.

With such military force protection, the common people breathed a sigh of relief.

Landing on the island with peace of mind!

As soon as they arrived on the island, they saw a group of evil-looking people who did not look like good people, cutting down trees and digging up the earth and leveling the ground under the guard of the firecrackers.

The common people cautiously asked, "Who are those people?" ”

The sailors who brought them laughed in a low voice: "Those are Zhoushan pirates, as well as Shengsi pirates, they were defeated by us, arrested, and then they are using labor to wash away their sins, this is called labor reform." ”

It was the first time for the common people to hear the concept of "labor reform", and they were a little confused, and some people couldn't help but ask: "Isn't that similar to us?" Is it all work? ”

"No, no, no, it's different." The sailor smiled: "You are white workers, not prisoners in labor camps, you have wages and benefits for your work." Moreover, you can quit your job and leave at any time, and it is your freedom to return to the mainland to visit relatives or anything on your rest day, and you will not have gun-fired soldiers watching you while you work. ”

"The prisoners are not paid for their work, and if they don't work, they will be beaten and denied food, and they cannot leave if they want to."

The common people are happy, although the name of this labor prisoner is weird, but in fact, isn't the treatment of these pirates equal to the old cow in the family? If you ask it to work, it has to work, and if you don't work, you will be whipped with a whip, and of course you can't resign, let alone go home to visit your relatives.

It's miserable when you think about it, but who called them pirates?

The common people were happy: "Wua Gei, pirate Wua Gei." ”

Bai Gongzi Daqi: "What does wua gei mean?" ”

The people laughed: "I deserve it." ”

So everyone laughed, and the dialect was really exciting.

Soon, the people settled on the island.

The blue-hat technical workers, administrative personnel, and scientific research personnel of Gaojia Village all arrived with the ship one after another. Everyone can see that Tianzun attaches no more importance to the sea than to Jiannu, and this Zhoushan must be built well and built desperately.

Zhoushan Dinghai Port and Zhoushan Shipyard, two major construction projects, go hand in hand.

A month later......

The people who came from Nanhuizui got their first month's salary.

There is no need for skilled coolie work, the basic salary is two taels of silver, the island living allowance is five taels of silver, the first batch of workers on the island is specially given a special bonus of five dollars of silver, and the risk bonus is one or two of silver.

In the end, it actually arrived, four taels of silver!

This income simply shocked their jaws.

Fuck, four taels of silver, catching crabs and picking up shells on the beach, how long does it take to save four taels of silver?

And that's just that you don't need technical coolies.

There was a common man who knew some carpenter's skills and was responsible for building wooden bridges and wooden frames for the wharf, and as a result, his wages were calculated according to the wages of skilled workers.

The basic salary is four taels of silver, plus a lot of subsidies in the back, and the total income is as high as six taels of silver.

This super high income shocked the first batch of ordinary people who went to the island.

As soon as the wages arrived, the workers applied for three days off.

Then take the cargo ship from Gaojia Village and return to Nanhuizui.

They are still a little apprehensive in their hearts, for fear that they will not be able to take the money home if they can earn it. But they immediately found that they were worried, and the people of Gaojia Village did not embarrass them in the slightest, and approved their vacation and let them "return to their hometown".

As soon as the group returned to the village, they immediately proclaimed to the first batch of people in the same village who did not dare to go to the island: "I made a lot of money on the island, hahaha!" ”

This propaganda ......

The consequences are not difficult to imagine.

After the three-day holiday, the workers returned to the beach to wait for the boat, and almost all the young men from the same village followed them......

Moreover, this news also took wings and spread from Nanhuizui to Huating County, Shanghai County, and Qingpu County next to it.

At that time, most of the people in Shanghai County were actually quite poor, they often couldn't afford to eat, so they could only take the hairy crabs of Yangcheng Lake as a meal.

Now that I hear that there is such a good opportunity to make money, why not hurry up?

After making money, take it to buy some white rice, isn't it fragrant? I don't want to eat hairy crabs anymore.

As a result, a large number of poor people from Shanghai County, Huating County, and Qingpu County flocked to the seashore of Nanhuizui, looking forward to the arrival of cargo ships in Gaojia Village every day.

As soon as the ship arrived, these people swarmed forward and shouted, "Imperial Merchant, please hire me to go to the island!" I can work, my mouth is tight, and I won't say anything I see on the island. ”

The speed of construction of Zhoushan Dinghai Port and Zhoushan Shipyard has been accelerated several times at once......

Soon, a town was formed on Zhoushan Island.

After the workers made sure that the place was safe, some of them returned to their hometowns and took their wives and children with them, so that the population of Zhoushan Island became more and more prosperous, and the town became more and more prosperous.

As soon as the population grows, it begins to create a variety of needs.

At first, these needs were solved by transport ships in Gaojia Village, but slowly, the people began to solve them spontaneously.

After work, the carpenter also makes some furniture and asks his wife and children to sell it as a vendor in the town.

After work, the blacksmith also began to try to make some kitchen knives or something for sale.

A disabled man who can't do heavy work opens a snack shop in the town, and the business is actually quite prosperous.

Then the "schools for the children of workers" in Zhoushan Dinghai Port and Zhoushan Shipyard were also built, and teachers transferred from Gaojia Village stood on the podium......

In this thriving scene, the envoy of Liu Xiang's pirate group came.
