Daming One Piece

Chapter 218 Going to the sea to earn a lot of money (second update)
This Daming is indeed different!
In just one month, almost all of the former illiterate refugees passed literacy training. Five hundred characters are not many, but they can write simple letters and roughly understand books and newspapers.I can't talk about writing, but I can do simple arithmetic.

Even Wang Xin, who was originally literate, learned a lot in the isolation camp. For example, he learned Japanese swordsmanship-not to mention proficient, but with simple swordsmanship, ordinary natives are definitely not his opponents. Learn how to use a musket, this is the most important skill.According to the teacher's statement - knives and guns are the cost of survival, if you don't know how to use knives or guns, you don't even have a chance of survival.

In this regard, Wang Xin, who has experienced family upheavals, naturally does not doubt the slightest. Even when others are sleeping, he is still practicing hard knife skills, which is a life-saving skill.And his hard work was rewarded. As the newcomer with the best knife skills and the most accurate gun, when he was about to leave the camp, the instructor pulled him aside.

"Wang Xin, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Lian asked.

"What's the plan?"

Wang Xin said.

"It should be the same as them."

"them?"

Li Lian shook his head.

"You're not like them,"

"Different?"

"Yes, they can live a lifetime with a few acres of land and a house, but you are different. Are you willing to live a lifetime with a few acres of land like them?"

Without waiting for Wang Xin to refute, Li Lian said.

"I know, you definitely don't only have a few acres of paddy fields, but the [-] acres of land allocated by the government are all wasteland, covered with thick and thick trees. It will take at least a few years of effort to burn the wasteland for farming and dig tree roots. Clean it up, and then marry a wife and have children, how many years do ordinary people have? Are you willing to leave dozens of acres of land for your children?"

"This……"

Wang Xin frowned. He had also considered the future, but the future Li Lian talked about was definitely not what he wanted to see.

"If you trust me, I'll introduce you a way. You can try it in the past. If you don't think it's suitable, you can go to the official territory again. What do you think?"

Wang Xin frowned, what does Li Jiaoxi mean?Could it be some kind of trap?

Seeing that he seemed to be doubting himself, Li Lian smiled.

"Wang Xin, I didn't introduce you for nothing. I will take [-]% of your first business there. This is the rule."

Everywhere has its rules, even in government-run isolation camps.

"Then... let me think about it,"

Wang Xin hesitated.

"By the way, Teacher Li, can I bring others there?"

"You can take it there, but I can't guarantee it if they want it or not."

Back in the barracks, Wang Xin called Wei An and Li Youcai, and as soon as he told them about the matter, Wei An said.

"Then Li Jiaoxi is not a human trafficker, this place is unfamiliar, if we are sold as coolies, it will be over!"

"He dares!"

Li Youcai said.

"He is not afraid of being caught by the government! Even his wife and children are cheap for others."

"Indeed, he doesn't have the guts!"

Wang Xin nodded.

What is the difference between Beigang and Ming Dynasty?He doesn't know, but one thing is certain is that under the Beigang rule, no one dares to sell Ming people. Once the incident happens, not only the buyer and seller will be executed by Ling Chi, but also those who participated in the coordinated transaction will be beheaded, and their property will be confiscated. It is said that even the wives and children will not be let go, the wives and daughters must be rationed to immigrants as wives, and the children and grandchildren will not be official slaves.

Faced with such a heavy punishment, no one dared to sell Mingren.At least under Beigang rule, no one would dare!
"Then, Brother Wang, let's try it?"

Wei An asked.

"Okay, since you've all figured it out, let's go through the formalities now."

The so-called "procedures" are actually an "employment form for new immigrants". According to the regulations of the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Publicity and Comfort, self-employed immigrants need to pay back the expenses such as boat tickets, or pay the corresponding fees in one lump sum, or get a job. Afterwards, it is amortized through employer deductions.Of course, those who accept government resettlement will also need to pay back the expenses by paying rice and labor in the years to come.

In a word, immigration is not free.Only in this way can immigrants be introduced continuously, and the corresponding expenses of immigrants will not become a burden on the government.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Nantianmen by boat.

Perhaps for many Ming people who have just arrived in Dao, the Beigang Xuanweisi is different, and even the city is obviously different from the prefectures and counties of Daming. As a city, it does not have a city wall, but it is near the port. There is a bastion.

Of course, Wang Xin and the others did not enter the city. The place they went was near the port.

Following the address given by Li Lian, after asking two policemen one after another on the road, they finally arrived at a business firm, took out the letter of introduction from Li Lian, and were led to the second floor.

"Instructor Li from the isolation camp introduced you?"

Sun Er looked at the three people in front of him, they were all strong and looked good.

"Can you use a knife?"

"Back to Second Master Sun, we are just a little brute force, the sword skills we only learned in the isolation camp."

"That's enough, come on, I'm in need of manpower here, Li Jiaoxi should have told you, our rules here are simple, I go out on the boat, and you contribute. After deducting the cost of going to sea, the profit will add up to five." , you are new immigrants, and you have to deduct the money from the government's boat ticket. What do you think? If you agree, give me the employment registration meter. ID card."

Everything follows the rules of the Beigang Xuanwei Department. The ID card is the most important means to distinguish between a native and a native. The ID card uses pen and ink to describe the "physical characteristics" of the bearer, such as height, shape, Moreover, they have their fingerprints. As new immigrants, they also need to register their employer information.Although the procedures are cumbersome, this kind of household registration management is conducive to Beigang's grasp of the actual population of Ming people in the territory.

"Shunzi, you will take them to the yamen to enroll later."

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Xin and his party completed the registration of household registration and received their ID cards.Then they went to the pier with Shunzi.Then he got busy, loading all kinds of goods on the ship.

He kept working until the sun went down, and when the cabin was almost full of water and food, it was not until the meal time that Wang Xin had a chance to chat with the old man on board.

"Brother, we are going to go to sea to do business!"

"That's right, as long as God blesses us to go smoothly, the two of you will be able to pay off the government's boat ticket money on this trip."

The bearded man said to Wang Xin.

"Going out to sea this time is worth more than ten years of work by others!"

Wang Xin, Wei An, Li Youcai all opened their eyes wide, with disbelief all over their faces.

"Well, going to sea this way can make a lot of money! But, why isn't there any cargo on our ship?"
