Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 108, It's New Year's Eve
Drum Tower Village.

At this time, it is cold and windy. In the past, everyone would have stayed at home and lay on the bed. If they could not go out, they would never go out. This not only kept warm but also saved food.

But it's different now, as Tian Erniu, Zhao Houzi, Dahu, and Shaxiong returned to the village, the news about the four of them quickly spread like wings.

Most of the people didn’t want to come out to join in the fun. After all, the weather was cold. In the past, many people came back from the winter. Most of them were very miserable, and some even lacked arms and legs. These were all because they couldn’t survive outside. Embarked on the road of stealing chickens and dogs, and then was interrupted by someone's discovery.

People who go out for the winter are miserable. Everyone knows that there is nothing to see.

But this time it was completely different. With the return of the four of them, everyone who knew the news became a living publicity trumpet, and they had to repeat it when they saw it.

This rumor was spread ten to one hundred times, and soon it spread throughout Gulou Village, so that people from every household began to come out and gather here in the middle of the village, wanting to see if it was true.

There is such a good thing in the world, eat three meals a day with open belly, meat every few days, new clothes, new shoes, and wages for doing things, how can this be going to spend the winter, it is simply going to be an uncle .

Everyone is a dilapidated military family, and the winter is sad. If there is such a good thing, everyone will be moved, and they will rush out to inquire about the situation, and make a decision after they want to find out.

In the middle of Gulou Village, Zhao Houzi never went back. He sat on a stone mill surrounded by villagers from Gulou Village who surrounded him three times inside and three times outside. More people gathered, and it was very lively, as if watching a big drama in the village.

"Let me tell you, the Golden Continent is thousands of miles away from our Daming. It is very, very far away. From our Daming to the east, you can reach the Golden Continent through the vast and boundless Pacific Ocean."

"Do you know why this Golden Continent is called the Golden Continent?"

Zhao Houzi spoke very energetically, his whole body was beaming, and he was a natural orator.

"I don't know~"

"Yeah, why is it called the Golden Continent?"

Many people gathered around Zhao Houzi, and they all shook their heads when they heard Zhao Houzi's words.

"Stupid, the reason why this Golden Continent is called Golden Continent is because there is gold everywhere in the Golden Continent, and the barbarians in the Golden Continent use gold to build houses."

Zhao Houzi slapped a small head hard and said.

"Gold everywhere?"

"Use gold to build cities?"

When the villagers heard this, their heads went blank. They were all very poor. Not to mention gold, even silver was rarely seen, but they all knew the value of gold. Something gold and shiny.

"Blow it up, there is gold everywhere, so isn't everyone in the Golden Continent very rich?"

Someone who was good at thinking thought for a while and retorted.

"Am I going to lie to you?"

Zhao Houzi became anxious when he heard it, widened his eyes and said: "This is what my Mr. Liu from Xishan said. Who is Mr. Liu? He has to lie to us mudlegs. Experience, don't say that others lie to you."

"Let me tell you, this gold is very rare and valuable in our Daming, but it is not so rare in Huangjinzhou, it is like a stone, understand?"

"Mr. Liu said that the poisonous weed is my fairy grass. The weeds that are everywhere in the Nanyang region are spices that are worth gold in Europe."

"Where is Nanyang?"

"Where is this Europe?"

Someone asked quickly, and at this time, each of them turned into a curious baby, with countless questions in their minds.

"Nanyang is to the south of our Daming, and we can go all the way to the south. Europe is to the west of our Daming, and we can go all the way to the west, but they are all very far away."

Zhao Houzi scratched his head, and it was really tiring to talk to a group of people who had no cultural and geographical knowledge at all, but it was painful and happy.

"Let's not talk about this, this Golden Continent is not only full of gold, but more importantly, there are three high-yielding crops on the Golden Continent, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, each of these crops, its output can reach The key to the yield of dozens of stones per mu is not to choose the land, dry land and poor land can also be planted."

"This thing is the real treasure. Only when there is food can we survive. We Mr. Liu and others are already building a large fleet to go to the Golden Continent. Once these three high-yield crops can be introduced back to our Daming, After that, there will be no more famines in our Ming Dynasty, and everyone will have enough to eat."

Zhao Houzi continued to speak, these words are naturally what he heard others say in the night class on the West Mountain, and now he is telling the people in his village.

"Food crops that produce tens of stones per mu?"

"My God, is there really such a food crop in the world?"

"If there is, wouldn't we never have to go hungry again?"

Hearing that all the food crops in Zhao Houzi's mu yield dozens of stones, everyone in Gulou Village became excited. The gold is too far away from them, but the food and hunger are very close, very close.

Many people's stomachs are empty, and they are hungry. They can't understand how much the yield per mu of land can reach. This kind of wheat can only produce four or five shi per mu. If there are dozens of shi Yield, that is, there is really no need to worry about famine anymore.

"Monkey, these are too far away from us, can this take us to Xishan?"

Qian Dazhuang was the closest to Zhao Houzi, so he asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, yes~Monkey, is Xishan still recruiting people?"

"My younger brother is twelve years old, can he go to Xishan together?"

"Although I'm fifty years old, I can't work worse than young people. Do you want people here in Xishan?"

As soon as they heard the words of being strong and strong, the others immediately shouted one by one. This is the most important thing. Seeing that the four of them spent the winter just like the uncle, everyone naturally wanted to go with them.

"Recruitment, of course we are recruiting~"

Zhao Houzi looked at the expectant eyes of everyone, paused for a moment, smiled and said, "Xishan has been recruiting people, and they are all recruiting refugees."

"Not only Xishan is recruiting again, but other Zhang's Coal Industry, Zhou's Coal Industry, Sangong Coal Industry, Sihai Coal Industry, etc. are all recruiting people, but they are very tricky. If you go to the capital, you must Don't go into these places, you must see clearly that it is Xishan Coal Industry."

"But iron rooster, don't go if your younger brother is young. The work in Xishan is not easy, it's all real physical work, don't think it's really easy to earn a living, and if you don't work, you will be expelled. "

"Uncle Yang, you're in your fifties, you're still skinny, and you don't have a lot of strength. You're just making a living here, so save yourself."

Turning his head, Zhao Houzi also looked at the two people who had just spoken and said.

"Then do you want female workers here in Xishan? We women can't work worse than your men, so we should have them?"

At this time, Widow Cao in Gulou Village asked loudly.

"I should ask for it. The cooks in the canteen are all female workers. They also get paid. There is a person named Sun Erniang who brought a child to live in the capital. The child is about to starve to death. He also met our Mr. Liu." , let her go to the Xishan Canteen to cook, and forced her to bring the child back slowly."

Zhao Houzi thought for a while and replied.

"Monkey, I'll pack up now, let's go to Xishan now."

Someone silently calculated in his heart, and immediately said in a hurry.

"Let's go to Xishan now. I've just come back, and the Chinese New Year is still to come. Let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year."

When Zhao Houzi heard this, he was dumbfounded immediately. This must be too urgent.

"What year is it? After the new year, I don't know how many people will go to Xishan by then. It will be our turn then?"

"I must go now, the sooner the better, the sooner I enter Xishan, I don't have to worry about food and clothing."

Huang Yuesheng is a thoughtful person, and he thinks far ahead.

"It's really like this. Let's go, go, pack up your things quickly, and go to the capital later, is there anyone going with you?"

"If we all go together, we should have someone to take care of us."

"Yes, yes, I will go too."

"Count me in, this year is over, go to Xishan to celebrate the New Year."

As soon as the other people heard this, they immediately began to talk about going to the West Mountain of the capital together.

"Don't worry about each of you. Didn't I tell you that the annual leave is already here in Xishan, and it's useless for you to go now, because there are basically no masters here in Xishan, and there must be no one recruiting. Make arrangements or something."

"As soon as the year is over, the few of us will go to Xishan again. At that time, we will go together. The four of us and Guanshi Sun also know each other. If we can talk, we will definitely recruit everyone."

"For now, let's finish the New Year with peace of mind. Let me tell you about the rules of Xishan, so that we can get used to it as soon as possible."

Seeing the attitude of the crowd, Zhao Houzi hurriedly stopped everyone. If he really wanted to go at this time, no one would really care about it. Xishan is also on holiday.
