The five hundred and fortieth chapters make up their minds

"Old Zhang, have your family considered it? Will you go to Nanyang?"

After the newspaper was published, a middle-aged man shouted into the courtyard in a remote village in Nanjun through the fence.

"Oh! Are you still thinking about it! If you go there, how can you live in the past few years? Even if you use all the money from your family to buy food, it's probably not enough!"

The man in the yard took two steps forward, opened the door, and invited the middle-aged man to enter with his frown.

"Haha! We were also thinking about this before, so we were hesitant, but you can 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, and he couldn't read a lot of big words. He held the newspaper in his hand and turned it back and forth a few times, but couldn't understand it. He quickly greeted his son at home, "Dazhu, come and take a look, what is the one written in this newspaper?"

"Okay!"

The people in the room responded and ran out quickly.

I picked up the newspaper and looked at it carefully. The more I looked at the smile on my face, the more I felt.

"Dazhu, don't keep laughing! Tell me quickly, what is written on it?"

Seeing his expression change, Lao Zhang was so anxious that he kept urging him.

"Dad! It says that the court wants to 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 arrive in Nanyang by steamship. There will be a ship every two days, which is very convenient!"

"Oh! That's great! This matter of the court is truly done to our people!"

Hearing this, Lao Zhang was so happy.

"Dad! In addition to this, the 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 to the material site for money, so as to ensure our income before the rubber tree grows!"

"What? Can you sell spices on the island?"

Lao Zhang was so shocked that he could stuff an egg into his mouth.

It was obvious that the people like them wanted to make money in Nanyang, but they didn’t expect that the court would support it so much and offered various convenient conditions!

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 simply great!

"That's right! This newspaper is clearly written...!"

Dazhu nodded confidently and asked excitedly, "Dad, then will we go?"

"Is there anything wrong with this? Go! I will definitely go! The wealthy families in our county bought a boat together, went to Nanyang to pick spices and treasures, and made a fortune! Now, we can not only go to Nanyang, but also stay in Nanyang! Every day when the sun rises, we go to pick spices and take care of the rubber trees from time to time. In a few years, just cutting rubber will be enough for our whole family to live!"

They have imagined such days countless times during this period.

But when I think about the troublesome contacts and life is not guaranteed before the rubber tree matures.

Even if you pick spices on the island and change the treasures in the hands of the natives, you can't bring them to Daqin to sell them. What's the use?

He hesitated for several days and never had the intention to register.

Even Lao Wang, who brought the newspaper over, was the same.

I thought about it for several days but 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's enough for us to make ten golds now! We still have to talk about factory work to make ten golds. For example, we can't make ten golds in planting such a little land!"

Lao Wang, who brought the newspaper, said with a smile.

"Yes! We'll be a family once we go, and we won't make a profit of one or two hundred gold in a month?"

"Haha! So, Lao Wang, have you made up your mind?"

Lao Zhang asked.

"Of course, the court has opened up such favorable conditions for us. How can we not go? We have worked in Nanyang for a few years and we are rich!"

Lao Wang nodded.

"Okay! Lao Wang, when choosing a position, we will be neighbors. Your wife dies early, and it is not easy for you to take care of two children alone. If you have any questions about your family, you can ask for help. Just speak up, just treat me as your son and greet you at any time!"

Lao Zhang laughed enthusiastically.

"Okay! Lao Zhang, when you arrive in Nanyang, you will inevitably have to bother you and your sister-in-law!"

Lao Wang also squinted his eyes and nodded repeatedly.

...

After the newspaper was published, many people, like them, wanted to earn a lot of wealth in Nanyang.

Just fool the rubber tree into a few years before it becomes a ingredient, and it will be easy to talk about it later!

Just relying on cutting rubber, the whole family will not have to worry about this life!

There are materials set up by the imperial court on the island, and you can buy anything, isn’t it the same as in Xianyang?

As the population increases, there will be many businessmen's exchanges, which will make it even more lively!

Register early and you can also grab a good place.

If it is too late, there will be only some scraps left!

Thinking of this, the number of people who registered in various counties increased sharply, and within one week, it increased to 3,000!

Compared with the existing population of Daqin, these people are nothing, but compared with the dozens of people before, it has increased by a hundred times, which is a world of difference!

Besides, the registration is still going on. As long as people are willing to immigrate to Southeast Asia, the court will distribute land!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Ministry of Revenue has sent silver notes of 30 million gold, saying that it is going to buy twenty steam ships!"

Suddenly receiving such a large sum of money, Huang Yuan was a little confused and hurried to find Ying Feiyu.

"The Ministry of Revenue wants to buy it, we'll sell it all!"

Ying Feiyu stretched his waist and said.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince knows this?"

Seeing that he had no sign of shock, Huang Yuan became even more confused.

"Yes, this transaction was made possible by this prince!"

Thinking of Ying Zheng's expression that day, Ying Feiyu couldn't help laughing.

"It was facilitated by His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"That's right! Originally, the prince was going to set up a fleet to transport the people to the South China Sea, but my father insisted on robbing them, and I, a son-in-law, had to give it up, so I had this money!"

"I see!"

Huang Yuan seemed to understand.

But only Xiao Zhengtai knew, he didn't understand at all!

"Will the shipyard continue to produce?"

After a moment, Huang Yuan asked.

"Of course, why not produce?"

"What if some people buy ships and do transportation work?"

"This has nothing to do with us, and the people can choose on their own! The ships in the court have high safety factors, and civilian ships do not have experienced sailors, and there are no escorts from soldiers. Once they encounter great storms or robbers, their lives and property are not guaranteed!"

After seeing the imperial transport fleet, the people will definitely have this idea.

But according to Ying Feiyu's speculation, the people would rather spend a few more money than take their boats!
