Chapter 1106: Ryukyu Recruitment
At the entrance of the Tang Dynasty Pavilion.
Wei Ting and Du Chuke shook their heads with a wry smile, and at the same time they looked at Chai Shao, who looked disappointed in front of them.
Du Chuke said with a sorry look: "Brother Chai, it's just my brother who refuses to help. It's really too much pressure on the husband."
"Yes, Brother Chai, I'm going to tell you that I've prepared a draft for my brother before I came, but when I really met this young man, I couldn't say a word."
When Wei Ting spoke, he did not forget to look back at the large terrace on the fifth floor of the Tang Dynasty Pavilion, and then said with a sigh: "This gentleman gives people the first feeling that is approachable, but after deep contact, he can always feel the momentum of a person in him."
Chai Shao and Du Chuke were stunned for a moment and turned their heads to look at him.
Wei Ting frowned and said uncertainly: "It's like His Majesty, people dare not look directly at him." After saying this, Wei Ting's face changed and was startled by himself. He actually compared Xi Yunfei with Li Shimin. I'm crazy!
Chai Shao and Du Chuke looked at him with a strange look on their faces, and the three of them stood at the door of the Tang Dynasty Pavilion, relatively speechless.
until……
"Wow, airship!"
The naughty child from unknown family suddenly screamed.
The guests entering and leaving the Tang Dynasty Pavilion looked at each other, and then looked up at the sky along the child's fingers.
I saw a huge airship slowly floating over, very low from the ground. Perhaps because of its slow speed, I didn't hear the iconic buzzing sound, otherwise someone would have discovered the airship long ago.
Chai Shao and the other two also looked at the strange airship. It was not because there were so few airships. In the past six months, airships have flew over Chang'an every day. Everyone has been tired of seeing it, but this is the first time we have seen an airship that flew so low.
Just when everyone was puzzled.
Someone shouted, "Look, there are words on the airship."
At this time, the airship had just turned around, and the huge banner on the side was exposed, with the red gold lettering saying: [One person farms, the whole family is not hungry, and the annual income is ten gold, not a dream!]
When Chai Shao saw these words, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is this kid going to do?"
Wei Ting and Du Chuke showed contemplative expressions on their faces.
At this moment, the airship's hatch suddenly opened, and someone was shaking on it. Then something seemed to be thrown out of it. With a loud bang, the "thing" scattered in the air, falling from the sky like a celestial girl scattering flowers.
This area happens to be in the area of Pingkangfang. The east and the west are fluttering in the wind, with a small part falling on the roof, and most of them falling on the fang road.
And the entrance of the Datang Pavilion located directly below naturally fell the most.
Two paper-like paintings fell from Chai Shao, and he reached out and quickly grabbed the leaflet that was about to fall to the ground. Yes, these are two common leaflets in later generations, with brightly colored patterns and text printed on them.
Chai Shao took one and handed the other to Wei Ting.
After taking the latter, I started reading it first, and while reading it, I muttered the words and read it out.
Du Chuke next to him came over and glanced at him, frowned and said, "Ryukyu recruiting workers?"
Chai Shao was unclear, so: "Where is Ryukyu?"
Du Chuke nodded and explained: "I also heard from my brother that it seems to be a very rich island. Your Majesty asked His Highness Jing to be responsible for the development and management after the New Year. I heard that just the grain output of this place in a year can support the total population of the three Tang Dynasties."
"Is it exaggerated?" Chai Shao looked incredible.
Du Chuke also wanted to explain, but Wei Ting suddenly handed the flyer in his hand to the two of them: "No exaggeration at all, look at the introduction below this recruitment notice..."
···
"This big guy, look at this big guy called rice transplanter. As mentioned above, this thing only requires one person and can sow fifty acres of paddy fields in a day!"
West City, small teahouse.
Wang Ermazi was holding a flyer in his hand and sharing his joy with several guests. He had decided to go to Shuofang Chamber of Commerce to register for training this Lao Shizi rice transplanter and the harvester.
"Wang Er, you are not going to farm in Ryukyu, are you?" someone familiar with you asked curiously.
The old shopkeeper sitting at the counter also advised: "Wang Er, Ryukyu is too far away. The above said it is farther than Lingnan. Where is Lingnan? There are a lot of poisonous snakes and beasts. You kid only have two taels of meat. Don't go and can't come back."
When Wang Ermazi heard this, he really didn't care. After returning the transfer of his hand to the old man who was telling the story, he smiled bitterly: "You all have a comfortable life without pressure. How can you understand my hardship? There are a few children in your family who have to raise them, and there are two old people on them. My wife is in poor health. I went to build the road alone to death. In the end, a steel slaughter has not survived. If the husband had not given me Wang Ermazi a living head this year, I would not be afraid of you to make a joke, my Ermazi would have sold it to Mr. Zhao from the south of the city as a concubine."
When Chang'an paved cement roads in the first half of the year, a large amount of laborers were hired in the city. The court paid for the road construction, but it would be great if you didn't let you do free labor. Wang Ermazi built the road for more than three months, but in the end he got two hundred coins of copper coins.
Fortunately, Xi Yunfei later acquired Pingkangfang for renovation. Only then did the laborers like Wang Ermazi live a good life. Shuofang Chamber of Commerce hired someone to work, and the salary was simply too good. Not to mention the three meals, even ordinary laborers who work hard can earn three or four silver coins in half a year.
If it weren't for this, how could a family like Wang Ermazi let him often come to the teahouse to have tea and joke? In previous years, he would have gone to help wealthy families chisel ice, and to help them fertilize, otherwise who would support the family?
When Wang Ermazi heard about selling his daughter, many people here looked sympathetic.
The old shopkeeper wanted to persuade him a few more words, but after all, he had a bad impression of the Lingnan territory. At the same time, he was afraid that Wang Ermazi would never go back. By then, his family would be old, sick, and small, and there would be no one to take care of him.
However, before he could speak, the storyteller smiled and said, "Actually, Wang Er's idea is pretty good, you don't have to worry too much. Look here. This time he went south to Ryukyu, but His Highness Jing personally led the army to spread the border. The prince dared to go. What are you afraid of? If I, an old man, can't do anything, I might as well go. Ten gold coins a year are not better than storyteller!?"
"That's true. Who here can earn ten gold coins a year? That's the past one hundred coins of copper coins!"
"Yes, yes, maybe Wang Er is richer than us during the Chinese New Year next year!"
"Actually, it's okay to think about it carefully. The rice in Ryukyu is three seasons a year, only three or four months a year. During the slack season, you can go back to Chang'an to visit relatives. The chamber of commerce also provides free airship pick-up and drop-off. The above said that you can go back to Chang'an in one day."
