1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 121

This time Cao Xiong's three boats brought back a total of 430 immigrants from Daming, including [-] women.

So far, there are a total of 220 immigrants in Hanzhou (more than 160 captive pirates have not been counted yet). Including the arrival of women this time, the number of women has reached 440, and the sex ratio has reached 173:100. There are obviously more men Girls.If the more than 300 people Cao Xiong left in Batavia are added, the gender ratio will be even greater.

That day, when many women disembarked one after another and entered the Jianye City camp, almost all of them rushed to watch.Many sailors and guards knew that this was the woman bought for them, and all of them were delighted from ear to ear.

Although they didn't know which of these many women would be their future daughter-in-law, they still angrily drove away the immigrants who watched the show.It felt like my daughter-in-law was being watched blatantly.

"There are so many women, is there any one for me?" A bold immigrant ignored the guards and sailors' pushing and pushing, and kept looking around on tiptoe.

"Tan Zhongfu, don't even think about it!" An immigrant next to him watched those women gradually walk into the isolated public bathhouse, and said enviously: "Didn't you listen to those young men who were guiding, these women, The priority is assigned to those sailors and guards, then various craftsmen and craftsmen, and finally those with excellent workmanship on weekdays."

"I think... I'm doing well on weekdays!" Said the bright immigrant named Tan Zhongfu.

"Just you?" The Ming immigrant sneered, "If you divide the wives according to your performance, it will embarrass Mrs. Pan and the little commander!"

"Xiao Ding, talking to you is really boring!" Tan Zhongfu was a little ashamed, he waved his hands, and left the lively scene with some regret.This time, if you can't get a daughter-in-law, you will always get one in the future.A Jianye City in Nuo Da, it shouldn't be all built and lived by men.

"Hush..." Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent stood in front of the window on the second floor of the small building and whistled frivolously. With so many women here, it seems that Cao Xiong and the others have already planned to take root on this "island" and developed.Maybe it won't be long before this place will become a bustling town with thousands of people.

However, it is a pity that this place is not on any commercial route, and it is destined to be incomparable with Batavia. At best, it is just a logistics base for armed forces.Shaking his head and getting rid of these irrelevant thoughts, Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent began to organize and write his voyage records.

"Let's discuss how to distribute the women brought back." Not far from the room where Second Lieutenant Andrew Florent stayed and rested, Cao Xiong summoned Yu Fukun, Qi Dajiang, Niu Hu, Chen Dalang, and Dong Fengshan. The bosses, big and small, discussed how to distribute the more than [-] women.

The faces of the people were filled with joy, and they looked at each other, and I looked at you, but they didn't know how to speak.

When they were in Dengzhou, some of them were slaughtered by the officers and soldiers, or died on the way to escape at sea, and some were always alone, struggling for their future and their lives.

Now, suddenly there is an opportunity to establish a family and reproduce offspring, everyone is a little dazed, a little apprehensive, and even a little sad.Can we (again) marry a wife?In this continent of Hanzhou, can it spread its branches and leaves?

Cao Xiong shook his head, damn it, a few days ago I heard that I brought back more than 300 women, all of them were smiling, now we are going to discuss how to distribute them, why are they all dumb?

"Why don't you choose one first, Mr. Cao?... Let's choose the rest?" Yu Fukun said.

"Fuck you!" Cao Xiong scolded with a smile, "I'm going to charge, I can go first! How can I choose the first one when choosing a daughter-in-law?"

"Master Cao, if you don't choose first, how dare we do it!" Dong Fengshan said with a smile.

"Yes, Master Cao, you have to choose one first. We will choose the rest!" Yu Fukun continued.

"No, let's pick it first, so what's left..." Cao Xiong wanted to talk about the leftovers, but then he thought, it was really not easy for this woman to be transported thousands of miles away from Daming, and Jianye City There are more men than women, and some people are staring at these women, they are precious!
"Luo Rucheng and the others have not returned, let alone leave them with the rest!" Cao Xiong said with a smile: "However, we can't choose the specific distribution first.... Everyone will think about it and try to let the big guys No complaints."

"Master Cao, why don't you draw lots!" Niu Huwen said in an angry voice: "Number all the women, and all our brothers will go to draw lots, and whoever they catch will marry that woman."

"Huzi, you're fucking smarter and smarter!" Yu Fukun looked back at Niuhu in surprise.

"Huzi, this method is good!" Cao Xiong also praised: "Everyone will catch whoever they catch....I am the same!"

"Huzi, you really learned something by following Xiaotian!" Dong Fengshan touched Niuhu's head.

"Isn't it just to be fair!" Niu Hu muttered, shaking off Dong Fengshan's hand, "I manage the rations of those indigenous people every day, isn't that what I do."

In the next few days, Jianye City carried out several consecutive marriages between men and women. More than 300 sailors, guards, craftsmen, and some immigrants who performed well were evenly assigned to a woman, and all of them lived in Jianye City and Montenegro. New brick and tile houses built.

When Zheng Hualian left Daming and boarded the ship, she knew that her own destiny was no longer in her hands.Fortunately, before boarding the boat, the other party had already told her that she would be married to the same Ming people as her.

Today, all their women were stuffed with a note with strange symbols (Arabic numerals) in each hand, and then they waited silently.Fortunately, there are no legendary creatures or vicious robbers here.Everyone looked like ordinary Ming people.Although they were surrounded by many men on the road when they first arrived, no one came up to bully them, they just let out some laughter, just like those villagers watching the excitement on the streets of Guangzhou.

In the evening, more than 30 teenagers came. They smiled and took a piece of paper, and came to the waiting women, asking them to open their papers one by one to show them.

It seems to be checking the strange symbols on the note, as long as the symbols are consistent, a boy will smile and say "Congratulations", and then lead the women out one by one to the men waiting outside.

After Zheng Hualian was brought out, she followed behind a burly man, walking behind silently.She knew that the man in front was her future husband-in-law.She was nervous and scared.But she didn't regret it, ten taels of silver was enough for her parents and brothers to last half a year.And she, as the daughter of the family, can be regarded as repaying her parents for their 17 years of nurturing.

"Here we are." Qi Dajiang said sullenly, pushed open the wooden door, and entered the hall of the house, "From now on, this will be our home!"

At this time, Zheng Hualian raised her head in panic. This is a house with three brick houses. There are three houses in the row of brick houses they are in, all of which are three rooms.There are only simple wooden tables, wooden benches, wooden cabinets, wooden beds, and even a fresh smell of wood.It seems that some houses are empty.

"You come in with me." Qi Dajiang glanced at this handsome woman, and his heart suddenly jumped up.

"Ah?" Seeing that Qi Dajiang was about to lead her into the bedroom, Zheng Hualian was ashamed and afraid, hesitated, and did not move.

"There are some silks and cottons inside,... If you know how to stitch, take the time to make a few more clothes for yourself." Qi Dajiang wanted to show her the gift from Cao Xiong, but seeing that she didn't move, he thought he had misunderstood.But he didn't force it, and just stood in the hall and talked, "All of us don't cook by ourselves. We eat every day, and we go to the public cafeteria.... Do you know where it is?"

"...I know." Zheng Hualian replied in a low voice.

"...um..." For a while, Qi Dajiang didn't know what to say.In the past, my family was poor, and I was begging for a living in the Dengzhou Navy. I only had some food and wages, and I took them home to support my parents and my fourth brother to study.Marrying a wife was something he never thought about.

"...You should clean up the house first, I'll go out to do some errands." Qi Dajiang looked at the woman who had become his daughter-in-law, looking a little uncomfortable, so he decided to go out and let her get used to it.

Zheng Hualian heard the sound of the door and knew that the man had gone out, she was suddenly relieved, looked around the furnishings of the room, a little dazed.

Is this my future home?
