"The problem now is that even if we stay here shamelessly, we won't have a good life. We might as well go out and make a living!"
"That's right! We people are all incompetent in culture and martial arts. In the eyes of those old guys, we are just playboys... so we can only be sent to the New World!"
"You can't say that. There may not be no opportunities in the New World. What kind of vision are Master Long live, my father, and Grand Duke Luo from Shanghai! They can still lose money on the business they are optimistic about!"
"My old man also voted!"
"My great god is also planning to invest some money..."
"I heard that Shen Shiwen of the Shen family came to Yingtian Mansion from Shanghai. It seems that he also came to invest money..."
Several young men wearing narrow-sleeved and close-fitting military uniforms were gathering in an octagonal pavilion in the east of Laoshan Hunting Ground. While eating the fragrant roasted game that the servants kept bringing over, they were talking about going to the United States of New Zealand. thing.
These people are all scumbags who are hanging around in the "prestigious schools" here in Pukou and Laoshan. They include Zheng Zhilong's son Zheng Xi, Li Ruolian's son Li Shaohua, Zhu Chunchen's son Zhu Ruqin, Kong Yinzheng's younger brother Kong Yinwen, There was Zu Yongzhong, son of Zu Kefa, Gao Yuanjue, son of Gao Jie, and Liu Guozhong, son of Liu Kongzhao. Everyone is about the same age, they are all alumni of Nanjing Middle School, they are all children of aristocrats, and they are all academic scumbags and a bit dandy, so they can hang out together.
When they had free time, they would hunt together at Laoshan Hunting Ground and Daishan Hunting Ground in the northwest of Laoshan, or go to the polo field attached to someone's mansion to play ball or race horses. Sometimes we would slip across the Yangtze River together and go to the banks of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing to play life...
In short, they are all a group of dandies who cannot study well and have no chance to join the army for the time being.
However, looking at their vigorous figures riding on their own folding horses and Arabian horses, shooting arrows and shooting guns, it seems that they were born at the wrong time.
If they had been born twenty years earlier, with their prowess in archery and shooting on horseback, as well as their ability to mount a gun and charge into battle on horseback, which they had developed in middle school physical education class, how could they have become a Zhengyin Pioneer Officer, right?
If they can be allowed to charge on folded horses or Arabian horses, a group of Batulu will also die!
It is a pity that the admission standards of the Nanjing Martial Arts Hall are getting higher and higher now. They not only have to test martial arts on horseback, but also have to test articles, arithmetic, style, and even French! Isn't this making things difficult for others? What else is French taught in military academies? Do we need to give orders in French? Can the soldiers below understand?
So even if students like them enter the martial arts hall through the back door, they won't be able to graduate!
Of course, since they are all descendants of great nobles, there is still a way to join the army. They can join the Imperial Guards Cavalry Regiment and become knights. If they join the army with their own BMW, the starting price is that of a school captain. As long as they can achieve some military exploits, they can be recommended to the Jiangwu Hall - the recommended class of the Jiangwu Hall is easier to study. In French class, the three subjects of arithmetic, style, and essay are relatively shallow. No matter how bad these students are, they have been through elementary school and middle school, so they can still graduate.
However, for a scumbag who takes the knight route and is sent to the martial arts school, his future in the military will be compromised!
And Emperor Zhu didn't know what he was thinking, but he insisted on preventing Duduo from officially dying... If he died unofficially, the Manchurian people outside the pass would delay it as long as they could, and they would not raise the flag of rebellion.
Therefore, these scumbag students also have all their horseback skills and have nowhere to use them!
By the way, among these scumbags there is one person who is not a scumbag, that is Shi Lang who came back from the New World. He was dragged out of home by Zheng Xi. Now that he heard these dandy boys finally starting to discuss going to the New World, he glanced at Zheng Xi.
Zheng Xi said loudly: "Since the richest, richest, and second richest people in the Ming Dynasty have invested tens of millions of taels of silver, and the former chief minister Wei Tongzhou has also made the United States a public official, specifically to promote this matter, what do we have to hesitate about?" ? Just follow up... What you have to consider now is how many people and things you should bring across the ocean!
You don’t need to bring gold or silver with you, and you don’t have to worry about buying it when you go there...Brother Zunhou, but is this the case? "
"Yes, yes." Shi Lang nodded quickly, "There are thousands of miles of fertile land and abundant products, but there are only a small number of savages and natives. They don't know gold and silver at all, and they have nothing to sell. So if you want to go east to the Gulf of America, you need to bring more things. , you should also bring farmers who are good at cultivating and planting wheat, rye, oats, and soybeans. It is best to bring more Perch horses... There is a lot of land and very few people, so the land is best used for farming. Horses plow.
Moreover, the climate there is relatively cold, similar to that of Yandi, so you can grow wheat and beans... Be sure to bring more soybeans, which can be sprouted and eaten. "
What Shi Lang said was all discussed with Zheng Xi. Although Zheng Zhilong's son is "scumbag", he is still relatively reliable in doing things... Concubine Zheng Huang's investment and financial management are mostly handled through him. He takes care of everything in an orderly manner, and he himself also After following it for a few times, I already have a small fortune.
"Brother Six, do you mean we go together?" Kong Yinzheng's younger brother, Kong Yiwen, has the best relationship with Zheng Xi, and they still call him "Brother Six" affectionately.
"Of course we are together!" Zheng Xi said, "Rely on your parents at home, rely on friends when going out... We people have no good future if we stay in the country. It is not our turn to inherit the title, nor can we study. Even if we wait until If we have the opportunity to fight Dhoni, how much merit can we achieve? After beating Dhoni and the bandits, who should we fight again? Without great merit, you will only be a thousand households in your life. If you want to be granted the title of marquis and general, you have to Let’s go to the New World for a try! Since we’re going, of course we should stick together.
The father-in-law of my family prepared 1,000 armored warriors for me, and also gave me two thousand-stone giant bird boats. When you go back, you should also order more with your grandparents... Everything is better at home, but everything is difficult when you go out! If you are not well prepared, when you arrive in the New World, the sky will not respond and the earth will not work.
By the way, those whose hometowns are in the north are going back to recruit people, some strong men who can grow wheat, soybeans, and horses.
Those who live in the south are responsible for preparing ships, farm tools, weapons and other equipment, as well as gunpowder, medicinal materials, and tea. There are quite a lot of things... Brother Zunhou and I will make a list later, and everyone will Prepare according to the list! "
"Brother Six is right! You need to be well prepared..."
"Listen to Sixth Brother, this time we have to let the family spend a lot of money!"
"Yes, yes...If you don't spend money now, when will you spend money?"
A group of academic scumbags really listened to Zheng Xi, and they all expressed their intention to become "colonists who chew on the old".
...
In the Huangji Hall of Laoshan Palace, Emperor Zhu Cixiang of the Ming Dynasty was convening a meeting between the two governments to discuss the establishment and management of the United States of Xinzhou.
Emperor Zhu talked eloquently: "All the major shares of the United States of Xinzhou have been subscribed...it is very popular! Since it is popular, we should strike while the iron is hot and send people there as soon as possible. What I mean is that this new The Senate of the United States of America does not need to cross the sea for the time being and will stay in Yingtian Mansion. The one stationed on the other side of the ocean should be a Governor's Mansion, called the Governor's Mansion of the American Gulf, which is in charge of the colonization, development and defense of the American Gulf. The governor is Wei Zhongcheng. Under the governor, there are the navy chief, the army chief, the police patrol chief, the division chief, the branch chief, the farming chief and the fortification chief, who are in charge of various departments.
In addition, each subscriber family must send people across the sea to take charge of the manor as soon as possible... It is necessary to recruit more farmers, prepare more food and various materials, and make them as complete as possible. It is better to prepare more than not to use them when the time comes. .
Finally, the second group of pioneers is about to leave with Wei Zhongcheng. Is the Generalissimo's Mansion prepared? "
Military Advisor Wu Sanfu immediately responded: "Your Majesty, the Generalissimo's Mansion has prepared 5 Ten Thousand Stone Big Bird Ships and 2 Flying Class Ships. In addition, the Dongning Army has prepared 2 latest bombardment gun ships and 4 Ten Thousand Stone Big Bird Ships." Ship. As for personnel, the Generalissimo's Mansion has selected 600 households with a total of 1,200 people. The Dongning Army has prepared more than 300 households and more than 500 bachelors, among whom the bachelors need to marry wives in Japan.
In addition, some Xungui families who invested have also prepared some households and boats for their children, and they also want to go with them. "
