- Crescent City (renamed from Manila) in the Nanyang Province of the Ming Dynasty. As the first auxiliary of Nanyang Province, it was also the first land acquired by the Ming Dynasty in Nanyang. After years of development, Crescent City has already become the largest city in the entire Nanyang region. The population is nearly one million.
Although it is already the twelfth lunar month of winter, while the cold wind is howling and snowflakes are falling in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it is still a scorching summer here in Crescent City.
The bay is like a crescent moon, with blue sky and white clouds, blue water, and beautiful beaches with soft Xisha, where a large number of people gather to play.
On the beach, there are children happily playing football, while adults are sitting on chairs everywhere, drinking coconut juice leisurely, looking at the lively beach in front of them, and enjoying the warm sunshine.
"The winter in Nanyang is still comfortable. If it is snowing heavily and freezing in Beijing and Tianjin, how can we surf and swim in the sea so leisurely?"
Deng Bing sat on the chair, watching his little grandson pile sand on the beach, and then feeling the warmth of the sun, he couldn't help but sigh.
He is from Tianjin, and his son was one of the first sailors to go to sea. Later he settled down here in Nanyang. He has a large plantation of tens of thousands of acres here and bought many slaves specifically to grow sugar cane.
In addition, there are several large-scale ships that often go to the West and Africa. They do not like to live the life of landlords and wealthy people here in Nanyang, but like to wander around on the sea. Therefore, Deng Bing is responsible for the plantation at home. reason.
"That's right~"
"I just went back to my hometown in Tianjin some time ago. The cold was really unbearable. I came back within a few days. Nanyang is better. It's warm. Not to mention how comfortable it is in winter."
¡°If this were in Tianjin, in the middle of winter, everyone would be dressed like rice dumplings, it would be difficult to move around, and it would be inconvenient to take a bath, so it would be better for us in Nanyang.¡±
Next to Deng Bing, an old man of about the same age, Yao Butcher, also nodded and said.
Yao Tufu and Deng Bing are also fellow villagers. They are both from Tianjin, which is not far away. Yao Tufu¡¯s son and Deng Bing¡¯s son were both the first sailors to go to sea.
It¡¯s almost the same now. There are large plantations here, there are hundreds of slaves in the family, and there are also own ships, trading houses, etc. It can be said that we are the first to enjoy this era. The bonus group of people.
And their backgrounds are all ordinary people, like Butcher Yao, you can tell by the name. In the past, he was a pig butcher and made a living by killing pigs, but now he lives a life of a wealthy landlord.
Every day I just stroll around my family's plantation, take my grandson and granddaughter to the beach to play, and chat with my fellow villagers. Not to mention how cool my life is.
"Haha, isn't it? It's better to go to Nanyang. Tianjin is too cold. It's too cold. I don't plan to go back in winter. I'll go back and have a look in summer."
"This is Tianjin. If you don't go back for a year, you won't even be able to find your way there. The changes have been too great."
牺如 7huan.com 牺如。 Shen Laosan on the side also nodded. The situation of his family is different from that of Deng Bing. , Yao Butcher, and those who immigrated to Nanyang are basically the same.
"Haha, I remember when we first started, you were unwilling to come to Nanyang. You said that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as a doghouse at home, and you will die in your hometown in Tianjin."
"Now that Nanyang is so good, we are reluctant to leave."
Deng Bing immediately laughed when he heard the words of his two old friends.
He remembered clearly that when they said they wanted to immigrate to Tianjin, Yao Tufu and Shen Laosan scolded their sons severely, saying that their sons were unfilial, that it was difficult to leave their homeland, and that overseas countries were barbaric. Earth, where is the Ming Dynasty?
It¡¯s better now. Everyone has become accustomed to the life here in Nanyang and likes it here. On the contrary, they dislike the cold here in their hometown.
"Haha, Tianjin is actually not bad. Tianjin is very prosperous now, with high-rise buildings everywhere."
"But I still like Nanyang, especially spending the winter here, it is really comfortable. In the past, my bones were very sore in winter, but here in Nanyang I don't feel any pain at all."
Butcher Yao also laughed.
The profession of butcher requires you to get up early, which is fine in summer, but very uncomfortable in winter. Over the years, you will basically have wind chill, rheumatism and the like.It's too low. If it continues like this, the northwest wind will really hit us. "
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Laosan still felt that he should plant some rubber.
"Shen Laosan, your family has really become rich in these years. You actually said that these seedlings costing more than ten taels of silver are not expensive. If you want me, I will never spend so much money to buy rubber saplings, let alone What¡¯s more, it will take seven or eight years before we can tap rubber.¡±
When Butcher Yao heard this, he immediately shook his head.
They have been poor all their lives, and they are living the life they are living now when they are old. They hold on to the money in their hands, and they are not willing to spend it at all.
??It¡¯s hard to bear to buy a rubber sapling with these ten taels of silver.
"There are returns only if there is investment~"
"The price of rubber will definitely continue to rise, because it has so many uses, including bicycle tires, carriage tires, and steam engine sealing rings. I heard that rubber is used in all of them."
"And after the rubber tree is planted, it doesn't require much care. Once the tree is mature, it can be tapped every year. It is actually very cost-effective."
Shen Laosan thought for a while and said.
Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi. "If you want to plant it, you can plant it. I'm not willing to do it anyway. These seedlings are too expensive~"
¡°Yeah, yeah, I think it¡¯s too expensive too.¡±
¡°With money, it¡¯s better to buy more ships and go to Europe to do business.¡±
