Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 455, Yang Dalang goes home
Ryukyu Castle.

After nearly a month of busy work, the sugar cane in the entire Ryukyu City has been harvested, and the entire Ryukyu City is filled with the aroma of sucrose. Box after box of sucrose was transported from the Ryukyu City to the wharf at the river bay. The big ship is full of these sucrose in exchange for vain silver.

Li Yuanshan returned to Ryukyu City again, seeing that the New Year is coming soon, everyone has been busy for a year, the sugar cane harvest is bumper, the sugar is sold in a big way, the shareholders of Ryukyu City are earning a lot of money, as a qualified capitalist , Liu Jin knew that if he wanted the horse to run fast, he had to feed the horse well.

So this time Li Yuanshan came to fulfill Liu Jin's promise - to give year-end bonuses to the employees of Ryukyu City.

On the huge open spaces in Ryukyu City, the employees of Ryukyu City gathered together, carrying out box after box of white silver dollars, and one after another, people who read their names came to the stage to receive their own year-end awards.

Liu Jin is very generous. The year-end bonus this time is as little as five or six silver dollars. As for outstanding employees, those who work hard can get more than a dozen silver dollars in the year-end bonus, and the highest even gets dozens of silver dollars. A silver dollar reward.

Of course, these are year-end bonuses for ordinary employees. As for the general manager of Ryukyu City like Li Yuanshan, his year-end bonus is very generous. With a big wave of his hand, Liu Jin directly gave Li Yuanshan more than two thousand taels of silver year-end bonus.

Other management also has corresponding year-end bonuses according to level and position, etc. There are hundreds of taels of silver for the least ones, and hundreds of taels of silver are very common.

In addition to distributing silver among the year-end awards, in order to promote the development of Ryukyu, Liu Jin also tried his best to come up with another method.

That's Bonus Land!
For Liu Jin, the land on the Ryukyu side doesn't need a penny at all, but Liu Jin brazenly took it out and rewarded his employees below.

Li Yuanshan, the general manager, directly rewarded thousands of acres of land, um, a piece of wasteland, and went to reclaim it by himself.

The other managers at all levels below also rewarded hundreds of acres of land. Liu Jin is very generous in this regard, basically hundreds of acres of land.

Even everyone working here in Liuqiu City, Liu Jin rewarded the land very generously. Any employee at least was rewarded with dozens of acres of land, and those who worked hard were rewarded with hundreds of acres of land.

Anyway, Liu Jin didn't need to waste a penny, just circled a piece of wasteland and rewarded you, and you went to cultivate it yourself.

Of course, Liu Jin didn't really just randomly reward them like this. The land Liu Jin rewarded was all land near Ryukyu City to be reclaimed, and even cement roads had already been built there.

Except that these lands have not been reclaimed, the transportation is very convenient, it is close to Ryukyu City, and the safety is guaranteed. More importantly, these people have stayed here in Ryukyu, and they all know that Ryukyu’s land is fertile, and they know that there is plenty of rain here. There is plenty of light, and everyone clearly knows the value of these lands.

Otherwise, if Liu Jin really rewarded these people with a piece of barren land, these people would not cultivate it, and they would not be happy. Instead, they would feel that Liu Jin was playing tricks on them.

But these lands outside of Ryukyu are different. Except for the lack of reclamation, other aspects are very good. If you reclaim it casually, it is definitely the best good land, whether it is used to grow rice or sugarcane , that's all very good.

The money was distributed, and the land was rewarded. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. According to the tradition, Ryukyu City is also a holiday for everyone, and it is fully considered that everyone is far away from home, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth, so Liu Jin Bian also gave the employees of Ryukyu City a full [-]-day vacation.

For twenty days, even those people who immigrated to Ryukyu City from Henan can return to their hometown Henan to put on a show.

Liu Jin gave them enough time to go home, gave them money, and gave them land. Naturally, he wanted them to return to their hometown in a good way.

Everyone can become a living publicity trumpet, which in turn can attract more people to immigrate to Ryukyu.

You must know that everyone has land, and it can be tens of acres of land casually. For people in this era, land is the lifeline, and it is something passed down from generation to generation, and no one will give it up easily.

So Liu Jin also believes that after these people return to their hometowns, they will definitely bring more people out. Their land needs to be reclaimed. If it is reclaimed, don’t panic. You must plant something. Means more people are needed.

If Ryukyu City came to recruit these people, the cost would be very high, but because the land is their own, and they come to Ryukyu by themselves, then naturally there is no need for Ryukyu City to be responsible.

Naturally, more and more people will come to Ryukyu without any burden.

This is Liu Jin's plan.

The reason behind it is also very simple, only when one's own interests are involved, can a person have enough motivation.

……

Yang Dalang packed his package and prepared to return to Quanzhou, Fujian.

As the steward here in Ryukyu City, even though he is still a low-level steward, the year-end bonus this time also won a year-end bonus of more than two hundred taels of silver. In less than a year, he earned almost three hundred taels of silver, and saved all of it, without moving a tael of silver.

Food and lodging are all included in Ryukyu City, and there is no place to spend any money, so all the money has been saved and put into the bag, which is heavy.

In addition to the year-end award, Yang Dalang also received a reward of more than [-] acres of land. He has already visited it. The location is very good. It is next to the newly repaired road and there is a river. As long as it is reclaimed, it will definitely be first-class. paddy fields.

He has even planned that next year, he will plant more than ten acres of rice on his land, and the rest will be used to grow sugarcane.

Ryukyu City has already let the word out that next year, all the sugarcane grown on your own land will be purchased here at Ryukyu City, and the price is quite good.

"I definitely can't do it alone. After I go back, I will take over my parents, brothers and sisters. At that time, I will build a house in the planned village outside Ryukyu City, reclaim the land, and settle here in Ryukyu in the future."

Yang Dalang has already planned for next year in his mind.

"Da Lang, Da Lang, have you cleaned up yet?"

At this time, Yang Ergou's voice sounded. He was carrying a burden, smiling all over his face, looking like he could not wait to go back to his hometown immediately.

"Okay~ okay~"

Yang Dalang looked at the place where he had lived for nearly a year, and walked outside with his burden on his back.

"Go, go, if you don't go, you won't be able to catch up with the boat back to Quanzhou~"

Yang Ergou said as he walked, looking very eager.

Soon, the two of them came to the pier. Large ships were moored here at Hewan Wharf. Now there are regular ships going to and from Tianjin, Fujian, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

"Quanzhou~Quanzhou~"

There was a big boat here, someone kept yelling, Yang Dalang and Yang Ergou hurried over, boarded the boat, and waited quietly.

Ryukyu City still recruited more employees from Quanzhou, so soon, the ship was full of people returning to Quanzhou, and it was also sailing towards Quanzhou with a full load of goods.

Ryukyu and Fujian are very close, so it doesn't take too long to take a boat. The boat departs in the morning and arrives in Quanzhou in the afternoon.

"Haha, I haven't been back for several months, and I can't wait."

Along the way, Yang Ergou seemed very excited and happy. He walked from Quanzhou to his hometown Dongmei Village. In the past, Yang Ergou always felt tired and too far away.

But now it was different, the wind was blowing under his feet, he was walking fast, and he had no intention of resting at all.

In fact, Yang Dalang's mood at this moment is also the same, the whole person is very excited, he has been away from home for a few months, to be honest, he is really homesick.

When he was here in Ryukyu City, for countless days and nights, he missed his parents, his younger siblings, and wanted to go back and have a look.

Now, it's finally time to go home, and now it can definitely be regarded as a fake.

When they went there, the two of them were dressed in rags, they didn’t even have shoes, and they were skinny, but now, both of them were wearing brand-new satin cotton clothes and comfortable shoes under their feet, and their faces were full of oil. Freshen up.

What's more important is this mental outlook.

When I went there, I was a country boy who had never seen the world, didn't understand anything, and was very timid, but now he is a person who has seen the world, Yang Dalang can even read and write.

There are also newspapers delivered from Tianjin here in Ryukyu City. Through the newspapers, everyone can understand the changes in the outside world and current events in Ming Dynasty, and the whole person becomes more confident and knowledgeable.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as an earth-shaking change.

The two walked quickly, and Dongmei Village was not too far away from Quanzhou City, and gradually the familiar village slowly appeared in their vision.

At the entrance of the village, some familiar figures can already be seen, gathering together, chatting in twos and threes.

"Nothing has changed, it's still exactly the same~"

Looking at the familiar face at the entrance of the village, Yang Dalang felt very cordial.

"Yeah, nothing has changed~"

Yang Ergou also sighed. He has never left Dongmei Village for more than three days since he was a child, and he has never left the surrounding area of ​​fifty miles. This time, he left for nearly a year when he went out. Immediately go to Ryukyu.

Coming back again, the whole person naturally sighed.

At the entrance of Dongmei Village, many villagers gathered together. Yang Dalang's father, Yang Laogen, and mother, Huang Shi, were also among them, chatting non-stop with the people around them.

"Lao Gen, it seems that the Chinese New Year will be over a month away, when will your Dalang come back?"

Someone asked about Yang Laogen and said.

"I don't know, I don't know if I can come back."

Yang Laogen sighed and said, the eldest son has gone to Ryukyu, he must be worried, how is this Yang Dalang doing, and now there is no news of him coming back.

"I see, it's probably impossible to come back. Ryukyu is so close to our Fujian. If there is news, he will have returned a long time ago. Maybe he was tricked into being a pirate."

Yang Liang couldn't help but said with a smile.

"I've also heard that there are pirates on the Ryukyu side. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Probably not. They are all from the government. Most of them are still busy doing things here in Ryukyu. When things are done, they will definitely come."

"return?"

"Thinking too much, no matter how close it is, at least it is necessary to ask someone to bring a message or something, but so far no news has come."

The villagers were discussing that the village was very small, and they could chat for ten days and a half months about trivial matters, let alone the matter of Yang Dalang and Yang Ergou going to Ryukyu.

Regarding this matter, they have also been discussing for more than half a year.

I have to mention it every now and then, which makes Yang Laogen and Huang's very ugly. So far there is no news of Yang Dalang, and they are extremely worried in their hearts, but they have no choice but to pray silently.

"Who are those two people?"

At this time, someone saw Yang Dalang and Yang Ergou walking towards Dongmei Village.

When everyone heard it, they immediately looked over one by one.

"Da Lang?"

When Yang Laogen saw it, he wiped his eyes in disbelief. The person who came over was very different from the Dalang in his memory. Although he looked alike on the outside, he didn't dare to recognize him.

This is my son?
No matter how good the clothes and shoes are, the key is to still have hair. His face is rosy, and he can't see the shadow of Yang Dalang before. If he is a son in the city, he will believe it, and he absolutely can't believe that it is his own. son.

"Haha~ we are back~"

Yang Ergou hurried over, shouting excitedly while running.

"Two dogs?"

When the villagers heard it and looked at it carefully, they couldn't believe it.

"Haha, it's me, Dalang and I are back~"

Yang Ergou shouted loudly, and soon came to the entrance of the village, looked at each other, and all of them stared at Yang Ergou and Yang Dalang with wide eyes.

"It's really Ergouzi and Dalang~"

Yang Liang was dumbfounded, this is still Yang Dalang and Yang Ergou in his memory.

"Haha, of course it is, as if it is fake."

Yang Ergou smiled all over his face.

"Father, Mother~"

Brother Yang recognized his parents at a glance, and came to them and shouted.

"Okay~Okay, just come back~"

Yang Laogen and Huang looked at their son carefully, and couldn't help but nodded excitedly.

"Er Gouzi, Yang Dalang, why did you become like this?"

Yang Liang looked at Yang Dalang, then at Yang Ergou, he was dumbfounded, this is still his familiar friend?
