"Lao Zhang, have you thought about it? Should you go to Nanyang?"
After the newspaper published it, in a remote village in Nan County, a middle-aged man shouted towards the courtyard through the fence.
"Oh! I'm still thinking about it! If I go, how will I live in the past few years? Even if I spend all my family money to buy food, I'm afraid it won't be enough!"
The man in the yard took two steps forward, opened the door, and invited the middle-aged man to come in with a frown.
"Haha! We were thinking about this before, so we have been hesitant, but take a look at today's newspaper!"
The middle-aged man happily stuffed the newspaper into Lao Zhang's arms.
Lao Zhang was a simple farmer who didn't know a few Chinese characters. He held the newspaper in his hand and turned it over several times, but he couldn't understand it. He quickly called his son at home, "Dazhu, come and take a look. This newspaper says What are they all about?"
"okay!"
The people inside the room responded and quickly ran out.
I picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. The more I read, the bigger the smile on my face became.
"Dazhu, stop laughing all the time! Tell me quickly, what is written on it?"
Seeing the change in his expression, Lao Zhang became very anxious and kept urging him.
"Dad! It says here 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 ship every two days, every ten minutes convenient!"
"Ah! That's great! The court's matter has really been taken into the hearts of our people!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhang was very happy.
"Dad! In addition to this, the imperial court will also set up some material purchasing points in Nanyang to sell daily necessities such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, grains, etc.! Before the rubber trees grow, we can also pick spices and sell them in exchange for money at the material points to ensure that Our income before the rubber trees grow!”
"What? You can sell spices on the island?"
Old Zhang was so surprised that he could fit an egg into his mouth.
It was obvious that common people like them wanted to go to Nanyang to make money, but I didn't expect that the imperial court was so supportive and offered various conveniences!
Not only can you buy daily necessities on the island, but the spices you pick can also be sold directly to the court. This is really great!
"That's right! It's clearly written in the newspaper...!"
Dazhu nodded firmly and asked excitedly, "Dad, shall we go then?"
"Needless to say? Go! Definitely go! Those wealthy and distinguished families in our county jointly bought a ship and went to Nanyang to pick spices and treasures. They really made a fortune! Now, not only can we If you go to Nanyang, you can also stay in Nanyang permanently! Pick up spices every day when the sun rises, and take care of the rubber trees from time to time. In a few years, just tapping rubber will be enough for our family!"
They have imagined such days countless times during this time.
But when I think about the trouble of traveling, and before the rubber trees mature, life is not guaranteed.
Even if you pick spices on the island and exchange them for treasures in the hands of the natives, you can't bring them to Daqin to sell them, so what's the use?
I hesitated for several days and still had no intention of signing up.
Even Lao Wang, who brought the newspaper, was the same.
I have been thinking about it for several days and have not made up my mind!
"Haha! When we get to Nanyang, it's like picking up money. Based on the current price of spices, even if we only pick a pound of spices every day, it's enough to earn in a month! We also have to work in a factory to make money. If we get ten gold pieces of land, we can’t even make ten gold pieces by farming this small amount of land!”
Lao Wang, who brought the newspaper, said with a smile.
"Yes! We became a family as soon as we went there. Why don't we earn him one or two hundred gold a month?"
"Haha! So, Lao Wang, you have also made up your mind?"
Lao Zhang asked.
"Of course, the imperial court has created such favorable conditions for us, how can we not go? After working in Nanyang for a few years, we will be rich!"
Lao Wang nodded.
"Okay! Lao Wang, when the time comes to choose a position, we will still be neighbors. Your wife died early, and it will not be easy for you to raise two children by yourself. If you need help if you are a member of the family, just ask me. You treat this son as your own and call upon him at any time!"
Lao Zhang laughed enthusiastically.
"Okay! Lao Zhang, when we get to Nanyang, we will inevitably have to trouble you and my sister-in-law!"
Lao Wang also squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly.
…
After the newspaper was published, many people, like them, wanted to go to Nanyang to earn a lot of wealth.
As long as the rubber tree has been fooled for a few years before it becomes useful, the rest will be easy!
Just by cutting rubber, the whole family will not have to worry about it in this life!
There is a supply point set up by the imperial court on the island. You can buy everything. Isn't it the same as in Xianyang?
As the population increases, there will be many businessmen coming and going, which will make it even more lively!
Sign up early to get a good spot.
If it's too late, there will only be some scraps left!
Thinking of this, the number of people signing up in various counties and counties increased sharply, and within a week, it increased to 3,000 people!
Compared with the current population of Da Qin, these people are nothing, but compared with the dozens of people before, they have increased a hundred times, which is a huge difference!
Moreover, registration is still continuing. As long as people are willing to immigrate to Nanyang, the imperial court will distribute land!
"Your Highness, the Ministry of Revenue has sent a banknote worth thirty million gold, saying that he wants to buy twenty steamships!"
Huang Yuan was a little confused when he suddenly received such a large sum of money, and hurried to find Ying Feiyu.
“If the Ministry of Revenue wants to buy it, we’ll sell it and it’s over!”
Ying Feiyu stretched his waist and said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows about this?"
Seeing that he didn't show any signs of shock, Huang Yuan became even more confused.
"That's right, this deal was brokered by this prince!"
Thinking of Ying Zheng's expression that day, Ying Feiyu couldn't help but laugh.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince facilitated this?"
"That's right! Originally, this prince wanted to set up a fleet to transport people to Nanyang, but my father insisted on grabbing it, and I, as a son-in-law, had to give in, so I got the money!"
"I see!"
Huang Yuan seemed to understand.
But only Xiaoshota knows, he doesn’t understand at all!
"Will the shipyard continue production?"
After a while, Huang Yuan asked.
"Of course, why not produce it?"
"What if some people buy a ship and start transporting it?"
"This has nothing to do with us. People can make their own choices! The imperial ships have a high safety factor. Private ships do not have experienced sailors, let alone escorts. Once there is a big storm or pirate robbery, life and property are not guaranteed. of!"
The common people will definitely have this idea after seeing the imperial transport fleet.
But according to Ying Feiyu's guess, people would rather spend a few more dollars than take their boats!
Once your life is gone, there is nothing!
