In Daqiao Village, thirty miles outside Ryukyu City, Yang Daliang hurried back to Daqiao Village on horseback, and then started beating gongs and drums.
"Fellows, folks~"
"What a happy event, what a happy event~"
Yang Dalang shouted while beating gongs and drums.
Hearing Yang Dalang¡¯s voice, the villagers of Daqiao Village quickly came out and came to the football field in the middle of the village, wanting to see what happened.
Daqiao Village is the most typical immigrant village here on Ryukyu Island. The village is neatly planned and the houses built uniformly are clean and beautiful. The immigrants in the village come from the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.
Some people have come from Fujian, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, and some have immigrated from Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places. They come from all over the world and have different accents, but they all get along harmoniously.
Yang Dalang immigrated from Quanzhou, Fujian, and was the first to come to Ryukyu. He has been immigrating here for several years.
I originally lived in Ryukyu Castle. Later, Ryukyu Castle continued to expand. I felt that there was not much difference between living in the city and living in the countryside around Ryukyu Castle. Moreover, in the countryside, I had my own fields and vegetable gardens. , orchards, etc., but I felt more comfortable, so I moved to the countryside again and became the village chief of this Daqiao Village.
"Dalang, what's the good news? I hope you'll be happy."
Shui Wa looked at Yang Dalang who was playing gongs and drums, and asked quickly.
Shui Wa is an immigrant from the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi Province. She used to work with Yang Dalang's group, and later came to live in Daqiao Village with her. The two have a very good relationship.
"Yes, what's good~"
"Hurry up and tell the big guy."
"Is the price of sugarcane going up?"
¡°No way, the price of sugarcane has been falling in the past few years, and it is no longer cost-effective to grow sugarcane, otherwise people will not grow vegetables and fruits.¡±
"That's right."
The other villagers also started talking about it.
"Everyone be quiet, everyone be quiet~"
When Yang Dalang saw that people were almost here, he quickly stood on a step and signaled everyone to be quiet. When everyone heard this, they immediately became quiet.
"I just went to the city and got the news that our Empress of the Ming Dynasty is happy. This is a great joy that everyone will celebrate."
Yang Dalang said excitedly to everyone.
"It's true~"
"Blessed by Bodhisattva, the Queen is happy~"
¡°That¡¯s really a great event, worth being happy about!¡±
When everyone heard this, they couldn¡¯t help but nod their heads.
These people used to be the poorest people, like Shui Wa. When she was in her hometown on the Loess Plateau, her family didn't even have an acre of land. The whole family farmed the land for the landlord, and they couldn't even afford a full meal throughout the year. Moreover, in the Loess Plateau, water and soil erosion is very serious, water resources are extremely scarce, and drinking water is very difficult.
Shui Wa had been living a hard life for more than 20 years. Later, she immigrated to Ryukyu. Not only did she own her own land, she also had her own beautiful house. There were cows in the cattle pen and the horse pen. There are horses and several big fat pigs. I have my own fruit mountain and have planted fruit trees.
He also married a Japanese woman as his wife, had several children of his own, and had his own savings in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. This little life was so comfortable.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT of?Quanzhou, Fujian Province, although he is not as incapable of drinking water as Shuiwa, he has many brothers and sisters in the family, and there is no land, and his life is very poor, relying on cutting firewood for a living.
"I am over 20 years old. Not only can I not get a wife, I don't even have a pair of shoes. I don't know how miserable my life is."
Look now, here there are hundreds of acres of good paddy fields, a large mountain as an orchard, a large pig farm with dozens of fat pigs, and three horses used to pull carriages, all of which are used for farming. He bought a steam cultivator, a steam rice mill and opened a rice mill.
Not only did he marry a wife, he also took in Korean and Japanese concubines, and even prepared to buy another European woman.
Such a life, in the past, would have been unthinkable.
?? Here in Ryukyu, people like Shui Wa and Yang Dalang are very common. People who immigrated here were the poorest people in the past, but now they are living a good life.
Therefore, I was naturally full of gratitude towards Emperor Hongzhi and the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Ming Morning Post publicized Emperor Hongzhi's great achievements and created an image of the people as their sons, which made Emperor Hongzhi deeply loved.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????This fruit is a tribute to the emperor and the queen. This is their great blessing, how can they collect money?
"This money must be collected. The Emperor loves his people like his own sons. If he doesn't charge money, the Emperor will not ask for our fruits. The Emperor knows how difficult it is for us people. You still have to take this money. Otherwise, the Emperor will not happy."
"That's it. Let's go back to pick fruits and send them to the port in the city together. There is a big ship waiting there. Once the fruits and vegetables are full, they will go back to Tianjin as soon as possible."
"The time is relatively close, and these fruits and vegetables need to be fresh, so everyone should hurry up."
Yang Dalang looked at the villagers and said quickly. 牺如 75zhongwen.com 牺如
"The Emperor is really kind to us people!"
"Yes, yes, without the emperor, we wouldn't have the good life we ??have now."
¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go pick fruits quickly and pick the best ones!¡±
"Yes, yes, hurry up, hurry up!"
As soon as the villagers heard this, they hurried home one by one, picked up their baskets, took their tools and ran to their fruit hills, scrambling for fear of being late.
"What are you doing standing around? Get your things quickly and let's go up the mountain to pick fruits."
Yang Dalang looked at the scattered villagers, then at his Korean and Japanese wives, and said anxiously.
When the two women heard this, they immediately got busy. Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi
