Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 307

one year later
Bohai Bay

"It is said that Xu Fu in the Qin Dynasty once took five hundred boys and girls across the sea to the fairy islands overseas. Maybe we can meet Xu Fu's descendants this time." The building boat seized from the government.

He was on board with more than 100 Taiping Dao devotees, as well as the saint Zhang Ning.

"Uncle, are we going to live in seclusion on an overseas fairy island in the future?" Zhang Ning, who was only eight years old, asked.

"Yes, but one day, it is not impossible for us to return to the Central Plains and make a comeback." Zhang Liang escaped by chance, but he still couldn't forget to launch an uprising in the Central Plains.

At this moment, they saw many fleets in the distance.

After a while, those fleets also seemed to have spotted them, and several sharp boats were heading towards their building boat.

"Could it be the fleet of the imperial court?" A group of devout believers in the Taiping Dao were very nervous, and they were ready to sacrifice their lives for their faith.

"Where are you from?"

The clippers stopped their boat, and one of them shouted at them.

"We are merchants from Jizhou, and we are going to Qingzhou by boat to do some business." Zhang Liang couldn't figure out what was on the other side, so he replied.

"All business at sea is under our control. If you want to go to Qingzhou to do business, you must let us board the ship for inspection, and then you have to pay a [navigation tax] of 100 million yuan." The man on the sharp boat said seriously.

"Could they be pirates?" Hearing that these strange people were not here to arrest them, but to ask for money, Zhang Liang had such doubts in his heart.

"We can give the money, but we don't need to get on the boat for inspection." Zhang Liang didn't want to cause trouble, so he was ready to pay the money, but he was also unwilling to let those strange people board his big boat.

"You can't sail in the Bohai Bay without inspection!" The strange man's tone was very serious, and then more ships surrounded him, and they were about to forcibly board Zhang Liang's big boat.

"You!" Zhang Liang was furious, and shouted at the other believers on the boat: "Fight with them!"

clang--

"kill!"

shhhhhh!
More than 100 Taipingdao believers were shot into plugs by arrows, and some remaining believers quickly hid.

Those strange people took the opportunity to board the tall ship and assassinate those Taiping Dao believers who avoided the arrows in close combat.

"The sky is dead, Huang Tian stands!"

Unbearable, they shouted their slogans, bursting out the last bit of strength.

But soon, they were defeated and all were captured alive by the monsters.

"Are you from the imperial court?" Zhang Liang, who was tied up, struggled and asked.

"You'll know when we get there." The weirdo didn't answer directly, but seized their ship and took them far away.

During the voyage, Zhang Liang and Zhang Ning heard a lot of information.

"These people are the rebels of Taipingdao."

"What does it have to do with us if you don't rebel against thieves?"

"This Taiping Road rebellion, on the contrary, made the people of Busan complain endlessly."

"It's weird, Taiping Road rebelled, why did the people in Busan complain?"

"Hey, since the Taipingdao rebellion, the Wang family's fleet has transported a large number of refugees from the Central Plains to overseas. These refugees are cheap bones. Even if the wages are so low that they can barely starve to death, they are willing to work for those guilds. The local people in Busan are unemployed, so the local people in Busan hate these new immigrants from the Central Plains."

"The royal council promulgated a new law. Citizens without jobs have to pay [unemployment tax]. If they don't pay the tax, they can only be relocated to Wa Island or even Sugarcane Island (Taiwan Island) to open up wasteland. Many people want to have a job, even if they pay Willing to do it no matter how low it is.”

"It's okay to say that Wajima is at most a bit bitter and tiring. Occasionally, there will be Japanese attacks, but Gancane Island is really a terrible place. The island is full of miasma and malaria. The group with a high mortality rate, ten pioneers, can One is lucky to survive.”

"Going to Gancane Island to open up wasteland is basically equivalent to a death sentence."

"Didn't those guilds make a lot of money?"

"Isn't it? While the trade profits are high, the wages paid are low, and the daily income is even less."

"The woman from the Wang family who is in charge of the guild management also said that low wages are conducive to economic development, so workers' wages cannot be increased."

"It's just pity for those unemployed. People commit suicide by jumping into the sea every day."

"You guys, if you don't work hard, what are you talking about here?"

"I say, good advice, captain!"

Zhang Liang heard a lot of fresh words and information, especially the [unemployment tax] created by the Wang family, which is really ingenious.

In order to improve the efficiency of making money, the Wang family has already used all available methods.

After a long time, Zhang Liang and others were transported to Taohua Port.

As soon as he arrived at Taohua Harbor, Zhang Liang saw thousands of boats coming in and out of the harbor.

The pier smelled of sour kippers.

Hundreds of horses were pulling an animal-drawn blower, which was supplying and exhausting a large furnace.

Beside a waterfall not far away, there is also a hydraulic blower, which is using the power of the waterfall to drive the machine.

Twenty horses pull a big carriage, which is full of all kinds of new land reclamation tools, such as iron plows and so on.

The dock porters removed the brand-new agricultural tools from the large carriage, and then moved them to the ship. A ship full of agricultural tools had already set off ahead of schedule, sailing towards the distant sea.

Some beautiful girls are being auctioned off, and many men are crowding the audience.

Luoyueyuan has long since lost its farmland, and now it is all gardens, houses, and workshops.

But when Zhang Liang heard the name "Luoyueyuan", Zhang Liang still felt a lump in his heart.

This name is not too familiar to Taiping Dao believers.

Although they had never seen Luoyueyuan, the name "Luoyueyuan" was often mentioned in the scriptures, and the scriptures described "Luoyueyuan" as a place of suffering.

But looking at the extremely rich Luoyueyuan in front of him, Zhang Liang couldn't believe that this place was a place of suffering.

Are the scriptures wrong?Or just the same name?
Zhang Liang's inner faith was shaken, and even the little girl Zhang Ning began to doubt whether the Luoyueyuan, the place of suffering that her father Zhang Jiao usually talked about, was really true.

The buildings, boats and wealth of Zhang Liang and others were all confiscated by the Wang family, and they themselves will be transported by the Wang family to the remote [Fur Island (Sakhalin Island)], where they will open up wasteland for the Wang family in [Fur Town] and trade with the local aborigines. The skins of wild animals, and then use these skins to exchange food and other materials from the Wang family.

After simply washing their bodies, they had a hearty meal first, and had a good night's sleep on straw mats, and they were forced onto the boat the next morning.

Fifteen days later, they arrived in Busan, where they saw many ships transporting agricultural products.

Five days later, when they passed Whale Island (Ulleungdo, South Korea), they saw the residents of the royal family on the island dissecting a stranded whale.

Five days later, when they passed the gold mine island, they saw many residents on the island panning for gold with sieves.

Five days later, when they passed Niulang Island, they saw hundreds of slave transport ships and livestock transport ships. Although Niulang City is small, it has all internal organs.

Two days later, they finally arrived at Fur Island, the fur town that had just begun to be built.

There are only more than 100 residents in the entire fur town. The only economic model is hunting. By the way, do business with the nearby aborigines, use some handicraft products to buy all kinds of fur goods from the aborigines at a low price, and then wait until the Wang family who comes only once a year When the fleet arrived, they used the fur goods exchanged from the aborigines to exchange for handicraft products on the royal fleet, and became a middleman.

"Get off the boat!"

The captain wore a thick woolen coat, and rushed Zhang Liang and others to the island with a lot of fuss.

The fur town is very cold, there are swamps everywhere outside the town, and there are many ice blocks on the swamps.

"What you have to do is to turn these frozen swamps into farmland so that you won't starve to death." The captain smiled at Zhang Liang.

It is too difficult to turn the frozen swamp into farmland. If there is no 100-year cerebral thrombosis, it will not be done, unless the people who do it don't care about the life and death of the pioneers.

When Zhang Liang and others were transported to the cold fur island to open up wasteland, Zhang Ning and others had already arrived at Taiji Plain (Kanto Plain in Japan).

This plain is also full of swamps, and it is extremely difficult to open up wasteland, but fortunately there is no freezing, it is still infinitely easier than opening up wasteland on Fur Island.
