    On the sea north of Ryukyu Island, more than ten large ships are sailing along the sea with the wind. The sails are swollen by the wind. Seagulls surround the ships and are constantly chirping. From time to time, they moor to the masts of the ships to rest.

    "Uh~"

    Shui Wa admitted that she regretted going to Ryukyu and staying in her hometown. Although it was hard and she didn't have enough to eat, at least she didn't get seasick.

    Shuiwa is from Henan, which has been part of the Central Plains since ancient times. Because of its long history and open terrain, Henan has been a province with a large population since ancient times.

    Compared with its huge population, the land in Henan is very small, and the contradiction between man and land is extremely acute. In addition, in Henan, there are more than a dozen people from the old Zhu family who have been granted the title of king here. Each of these  The prince is just a big blood-sucking insect, lying on the bodies of the people of Henan to suck blood.

    Ordinary people in Henan live a more difficult life than people in other provinces. Although they are equally diligent and simple, in this farming society, too little land has destined the people here to be very poor.

    Shui Wa is at the bottom of the family. There are many brothers and sisters in the family. Not counting the ones who died in infancy, Shui Wa's family has seven brothers and sisters. However, Shui Wa's family does not even have an acre of land. The older members of the family farm the land for the landlord.  The smaller one is given to the landlord's family to herd cattle and sheep.

    I lived a very poor life, and it was really hard to even have a full meal at the end of the year.

    Not long ago, someone from the government came forward to bring people to Henan to recruit people. They said they were recruiting some people to develop Ryukyu Island. As long as they were willing to move to Ryukyu Island, they were guaranteed to have three meals a day and work.  One tael of silver a month, and after one year's work, three acres of land will be returned.

    There are many brothers and sisters in Shuiwa's family. Shuiwa is the eldest. He has just turned seventeen this year, which is the time when the younger ones are trying to kill me. So when Shuiwa said he wanted to give it a try, his parents agreed without even thinking about it.

    No matter it is true or false, it is always good to go out and have a try. As for whether you will be cheated or something, no one cares, as long as you have food to eat, you can be a cow, a horse, a slave or a maid.

    They all live in poverty, so don¡¯t be so pretentious. It¡¯s enough to have food to eat and not starve to death.

    So Shui Wa followed thousands of people about her own size from Henan to Tianjin, then took a ride from Tianjin all the way south, and was about to arrive at Ryukyu Island.

    He has never traveled far before. Even before, the farthest place he went was the small town where he was, but this time, he went so far all at once.

    Shui Wa was fresh at first, but it became extremely painful after taking a boat in Tianjin, because he would get seasick. For half a month, from Tianjin to now, he has never adapted, dizzy and vomiting every day.

    " If it weren't for the fact that we were fed every meal and had meat to eat here on the ship, Shui Wa, a poor boy, would have eaten a lot at every meal even though he vomited, otherwise he would have been unable to bear it.

    "Shui baby, are you okay?"

    Next to Shui Wa, Huo Wa from the same village asked with concern.

    "It's okay, it's okay. I'm used to it. I just don't know when I can arrive at Ryukyu Island. I've been out to sea for half a month."

    Shui Wa shook her head and said.

    "Who knows, I heard from the people on the boat that we can get there in just two days. But I heard people said that Ryukyu Island is full of miasma, mosquitoes are rampant, and there are cannibal barbarians. Will we die in Ryukyu Island?  On the island?¡±

    Huo Wa thought for a while and said.

    There are a group of teenagers of about the same age on the ship. When recruiting people, they were carefully selected. The older ones have poor learning ability and are slippery, so they can't be hired. The younger ones can't do the work and are a burden, so they are seventeen or eighteen years old.  They are the best. The first batch of recruits to go to Ryukyu are all of this age.

    People at this age are still young and have strong plasticity. As long as they are properly educated, they can still make up for it. They have grown up and have strength, so they will not delay the construction and development of Ryukyu City.

    After all, Ryukyu Island is a private development. Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Mao also paid to build Ryukyu City for the purpose of growing sugar cane and making money from cane sugar. It is not official immigration and development.

    Generally speaking, Liu Jin still has to consider the issue of profitability and the return on investment. Spending large amounts of money is not for doing good deeds.

    ¡°Dang~dang~¡±

    At this time, the bell on the ship rang, and everyone suddenly became energetic. It was very boring on the ship. Whenever the bell rang, something must have happened. In the past, it was basicallyShip; the night classes at Miyun Iron Factory teach how to make iron, etc. These are considered advanced night classes, only open to those with basic knowledge, and they have also cultivated a steady stream of talents for Liu Jin.

    "In addition, I also brought you several shipments of cement, knowing that you need this most, as well as steel bars produced by Miyun Iron Works, reclamation tools, etc., and there are also five hundred thousand silver dollars, as the master said here  If you need anything, you can go to Fujian and Zhejiang to purchase. Don¡¯t save money, just spend what you should.¡±

    ¡°Fujian and Zhejiang are close together, so it is convenient to purchase ordinary things. However, shipping them from Tianjin is still too far away, which is more troublesome.¡±

    Fei Yi nodded. He was different from Li Yuanshan. Li Yuanshan was based here in Ryukyu City, while he needed the capital to travel between Tianjin and Ryukyu to transport supplies and people.

    "I know, there are ships from my side going to Fujian for purchasing almost every now and then."

    Li Yuanshan nodded and said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
