In the Port of Kaffa, Black Earth Province, Li Er, Lu Da and a group of young people who came out of the mountains got out of their clothes and looked curiously at the bustling port in front of them.
Since this became the Black Earth Province of the Ming Empire, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has included the entire east and north of the Black Sea, covering the vast fertile areas north and south of the Caucasus Mountains.
Kaffa Port serves as an important transfer station and port for Ming Dynasty immigrants to Black Earth Province. It is also an important distribution center for Ming Dynasty¡¯s land trade with Europe.
In a very short period of time, this place prospered rapidly.
Merchants, firms, and immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, as well as merchants from Europe, the Ottomans, and the Mediterranean, all gathered here, and the situation was much greater than that of Xijigang Port in Nanyun Province.
The port here has been expanded, with wide docks, a busy port, ships flying various flags, and everything else here.
Li Er and Lu Da were all dazzled by this. At this time z*ongy*iwx*.com Zhang Si
Although they have seen many prosperous places along the way, they have seen the excitement of Kaifeng, the prosperity of Chang'an, the tallness of the snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions, the richness and vast wilderness of the Hezhong area, and the exotic scenery of Nanyun Province.

But when I came to Black Earth Province, I knew I had arrived. I was still very curious about everything here. I kept looking around and watching everything here.
For these children who came from the mountains, it was their first time to see the vast sea and the turbulent waves. Many of them had vomited all sorts of things on the boat. After finally arriving in Black Earth Province, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. .
¡°Is this where we immigrated?¡±
Lu Da is just nineteen years old. In later generations, he will still be a student in the ivory tower, but now he has a family and a business, and he also immigrated to Black Earth Province with his newly married daughter-in-law.
¡°This is the Port of Kaffa in the Black Earth Province. Although it is the Black Earth Province, it is not the place where we immigrated. We just passed through here. However, my brother¡¯s letter said that when we arrive at the Port of Kaffa, it is so close to where we immigrated. The town is very close, and we estimate that we will almost arrive at the place where we immigrated in a few days."
Li Er thought for a while and said, he has now become the leader of his group of seven or eight people, just because his brother Li Da immigrated here in advance and wrote a letter to his family, explaining a lot of things clearly. Let Li Er know the route he passed in advance.
"Didn't your brother say he would come to pick us up?"
"Why are we all in Black Earth Province and your brother hasn't come over yet?"
Li Er¡¯s wife Lu said weakly.
"How big is the Black Earth Province, and how does he know when we will arrive here? Even if he is looking for us, he will have to wait until we have settled in and know that we are in the immigrant town before he can come to find us."
"But after we settle in, we will go find my eldest brother first. He is at No. 18 Huanghe Road, Shangyun Town."
Li Er quickly retorted that he had already kept his brother's address firmly in his mind.
"Oh~"
Lu thought for a while and nodded.
This port is very large. Immigrants come here every day, ranging from hundreds to thousands. The immigration ships are not scheduled at regular intervals. Even if Li Da wants to come here to find Li Er, it may not be easy. things.
"Let's go, let's go, follow the official~"
"My brother said that when we get here, we must follow the officials closely so as not to leave. And when we get to Kaffa Port, the Immigration Department will start sending horses to us, so we don't have to walk. We can ride there. The town where we immigrated.¡±
"After arriving in the immigration town, we can also receive our resettlement fee, which is thirty taels of silver per person. In addition, we will be allocated our own house, our own food, furniture, living utensils, etc., which is much better than what we were here. It¡¯s much better back home.¡±
"Next we have to draw lots and we will be assigned to different towns."
Li Er led the crowd and followed the officials.
The management of the Black Earth Provincial Immigration Bureau is also very effective. It has also formed a complete system for the management of immigrants. As soon as the immigrants arrive at Kaffa Port, many arrangements are quickly made.
The first choice for immigrants coming from various places is to disrupt the lottery and assign them to different immigration towns. This will not allow people from one place to immigrate together. This will easily form small groups, which will harm the immigrants.sp; "Did you hear that? We are going to rest here in Shangyun Town tonight. My eldest brother is in Shangyun Town."
Li Er said excitedly to his wife Lu: "We will see our eldest brother soon!"
Li Er was very excited. He wished he could arrive at Shangyun Town immediately and go find his eldest brother.
The team is constantly moving forward, and it is still very easy to walk on horseback.
Before sunset, the team finally arrived at Shangyun Town. Before entering the town, they could see a lot of people waiting outside the town, as if they were waiting for something.
Among them, Li Er saw his eldest brother at a glance, and he couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Brother~brother~"
While shouting, he kept shaking his hands, so excited that everyone accompanying him also looked over.
Control the big one and control the owl. Here, Li Da was walking around coldly.
Ever since he learned that his younger brother had also immigrated, he had been constantly inquiring about him. At the same time, he had calculated the time accurately and knew that his younger brother would arrive in Heitu Province in the next few days. He would also wait and see at the intersection of Shangyun Town every day. See if you can wait until your brother passes by.
At this time, a familiar voice came from the team not far away. Li Da was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at a figure on horseback and ran over excitedly.
