After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Linjiang Port.

Municipal Shipping Division Office.

There is a publicity board at the door, and a very conspicuous propaganda leaflet is posted on the publicity board.

"Overseas land reclamation, boat tickets are free, food and accommodation will be arranged when you go, gold mines can be mined freely, and the mined gold mines belong to individuals... The quota is limited to [-], so hurry up if you want to go, and don't wait if you are late."

As soon as the clerk who put up the poster left, many people gathered around him.

"Tch, this looks like it's fake. You'll get free boat tickets, arrange food and lodging, and freely mine gold mines. You're just fooling fools."

"Look, this is definitely a new type of human trafficking method thought up by swindlers. They will brag about it in advance and impress us with benefits. Once they get on the boat and go out to sea, the sky will not respond and the earth will not respond. Ling, we don’t know where we are going to be sold yet.”

"But it is stamped with the government's seal and the imperial seal! It means that this is an official poster issued by the court. It is impossible for the government to deceive us ordinary people, right?"

"That is, the imperial seal above cannot be faked. Anyone who dares to counterfeit the imperial seal will be punished by beheading!"

"It's impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to deceive our common people, right? Is what is said here true?"

The news spread quickly, and many people came to the Shibo Division to inquire about the specific situation.

After receiving a positive answer, everyone was in an uproar.

"It turned out to be true!"

"We, Dayong, are so powerful. We have not only captured the Fanbang countries in the northwest and two regions, but also many countries in the sea areas beyond the east and south. Now those places are short of manpower!"

"The overseas territory is bigger than the entire Dayong? God, how big must it be! Isn't 3000 people not enough?"

"It is said that the 3000 people recruited this time are only the first batch, and we will continue to recruit people later."

"I heard that the people in those overseas countries are not yet civilized. They haven't even made paper, and their chatter is like the chirping of birds. When we go there, can we also get an official position?"

"I think there is a way. After all, we here are literate, can write, and can do math. If we work hard here for a month, we can earn two or three taels of silver. But if we go overseas, wouldn't it mean that Has it become a scarce talent? Then the salary shouldn’t keep rising?”

"Let's go, sign up."

In the crowd, a pretty woman was also moved.

The woman's name was Coral, and she was a maid beside the wife of a wealthy family. Although she was only a second-class maid, she was still wearing gold and silver, and she was served by two little maids.

She doesn't have to do any heavy work at ordinary times, and she is more pampered than the daughters of many ordinary people outside.

A few days ago, His Majesty issued a decree to abolish slavery. She felt that the sky was about to fall.

She has been following Madam since she was sensible, and finally struggled to become a second-class maid, with the goal of becoming a first-class maid.

If slavery was abolished, what would she do in the future?

She is both yearning for and afraid of the outside world.

She had also heard about many women's deeds as officials and businessmen, and she would be lying if she said she didn't envy them.

But she has been doing the job of serving people since she was a child. If she doesn't become a slave, she doesn't know what else she can do.

Now looking at the promotional poster on the bulletin board, she suddenly felt an impulse.

Perhaps, she can go overseas to try her luck.

The boat is arranged by the government, the ticket is free, and food and accommodation are provided when you go overseas.

The overseas territory also belongs to Dayong. Although it is unfamiliar and perhaps a little dangerous, it is full of opportunities.

If she really couldn't stay any longer, she could still follow the ship back.

The more Coral thought about it, the more excited she became. On impulse, she walked into the store and queued up at a window with fewer people in line.

It didn't take long to reach her.

Clerk: "Please show me your ID card."

Coral: "What's the ID card? I, I don't have one."

Clerk: "Every citizen of Dayong has an ID card. If you don't, that means you haven't gotten rid of your slave status yet?" Didn't His Majesty abolish slavery a while ago?If you are willing to get rid of your slave status, go to the second floor to apply for an ID card.

"Having an ID card means that you will become a citizen of Dayong from now on, a free person, and you can sign up to participate in overseas land reclamation."

Coral: "I, I'll think about it."

She walked over to the bench against the wall and sat down.

Looking at the service windows, people kept coming to sign up to participate in overseas land reclamation.

She couldn't help but feel anxious.

According to this trend, the 3000-person venue will soon be full, and by then she won’t be able to go even if she wants to.

Although it is said that this is only the first batch and they will continue to recruit in the future, but who knows when the next one will be?

Coral made up her mind and went to the second floor.

When she came down again, she had a palm-sized ID card in her hand.

The ID card is a relatively hard piece of paper with complex dark patterns printed on it, which will shed a gorgeous luster under the sunlight.

There is a small photo of her on it, with her name, gender, date of birth, place of origin and other information written on it.

The clerk tapped on an instrument for a while, and the piece of paper automatically slipped out from the other end of the instrument.

She felt quite magical looking at it.

She doesn't usually have many opportunities to go out, although she has learned a lot about the outside world from the newspaper and knows that the outside world has changed a lot in recent years.

But seeing it with your own eyes is another feeling.

The ID card was sealed in a plastic bag that was waterproof and had a bright blue strap attached to it so that it could be hung around the neck to prevent it from being lost.

Coral saw enough, hung the ID card around her neck, and patted it gently.

The ID card didn't weigh much, but the moment it was hung around her neck, she felt heavy and let out a long breath.

From now on, she is no longer a slave, but a citizen of Dayong, a free person!

You can freely buy houses and land...purchase all kinds of private property.

This was not allowed in the past.

Although she doesn't have the money to buy a house or land now, she might have it in the future.

Coral took her ID card to the window and signed up to participate in overseas land reclamation activities.

When she was done, the clerk handed her a room card and a caution booklet.

Coral walked aside and looked at it.

The room card stated the room she stayed in on the ship, and there were some warm reminders on the back.

The manual lists various precautions for survival at sea.

With this, she knew what she needed to bring.

Hualu returned to the house and confessed to his wife, confessing that he had left his slave status without authorization and signed up to open up wasteland overseas.

She thought Madam would blame her, but Madam actually laughed.

"Coral, you've done a great job. I'm a little envious of you. If I weren't restricted by my status as 'Madam', I would have wanted to go overseas."

The lady helped the coral up with her own hands, returned her slave status, and rewarded her with 50 taels of silver.

"This slave book has become a piece of waste paper now. It doesn't matter whether I give it to you or not, but I still give it to you. You can either destroy it or keep it as a souvenir.

"As for these 50 taels of silver, just think of it as my investment in you. If you really become famous overseas in the future, madam, I can take advantage of you."

Touched, Coral kowtowed three times to Madam, "If Coral is lucky enough to become famous in the future, he will surely live up to Madam's great kindness." (End of Chapter)
