This home visit group was created by Lin Qian alone. It was a solution he came up with after receiving an immigrant mission from Li Mingxun, and he was criticized a lot for this.

From the end of the 15th year of Chongzhen, the first group of immigrant groups composed of craftsmen and farmers took the club's rapid transport fleet to Yuling Island, the club began large-scale immigration activities. It can be said that the effect was not very good. After all, Dongfan was a completely unfamiliar place among the knowledge reserves of many refugees, and the successive victory made the refugees rekind their hopes for returning to their hometowns. It was not until Li Mingxun handed over the errands of the immigration group to Lin Qian that the situation turned around.

According to Lin Qian's plan, the first batch was to buy the population and forcefully migrate Shandong refugees to Dongfan to resettle. His plan was very simple. Even if the Dongfan is like, the club is a lotus, and it will be suspected. It is better to let the refugees go to Dongfan and return and tell the Shandong refugees the conditions of Dongfan, so that Shandong refugees can have a deep understanding and make choices. The returning group to visit the relatives is one of the important plans.

Among the first refugees Lin Qian purchased, women, especially women who are suitable for marriage, occupied most of them. From the unmarried daughter, to the concubines sold by her husband, and even the widows abandoned by the clan, Lin Qian refused everyone. However, Li Mingxun received the news provided by the surveillance and was furious. The large-scale purchase of young women made many refugee camps rumored that the club opened a large-scale prostitute village in the army, which greatly affected the image of the club. If Lin Qian had not stuffed any woman into his bed, Li Mingxun would have killed this guy. Even so, both inside and outside the club would have given Lin Qian the title of the first turtle man in the Ming Dynasty.

The first batch of women who bought it returned to Taiwan under the carrying of the club's sand ship transport team. The joyful veterans prepared a grand welcome ceremony for them to warmly welcome the new labor force, but the one who came down was a group of young women, which made the veterans completely angry. Fortunately, Lin Qian was prepared.

These women were not used as labor to invest in any industry, but were placed in the warehouse of the club. Next, Lin Qian built a shack in the most prosperous square in Budai Port and pulled all the women to the square. Just when the veterans thought Lin Qian was going to conduct a slave auction prohibited by the club's order, Lin Qian announced to the Navy, Army and official employees of various departments that a large-scale blind date event would be held on the square. As long as an agreement was reached at the blind date site, the club's employees were qualified to marry these refugee girls from Shandong. For a moment, Budai Port was like the New Year, and there were crowds in the square.

You should know that most of the current immigrants in the club come from Guangdong, Guangxi and Jiangnan. There are very few families who bring their families. Most of them are young men coming to make a living. There is a disproportionate proportion of men and women in Taiwan. Many people cannot marry their wives, and many people save dozens of taels of silver to buy an indigenous wife from the slave camp to go back. Now that they have the opportunity to go on a blind date, they are still innocent Ming girls. This makes these young people not excited. For a time, many industries in the club were shut down.

Lin Qian also mobilized the wives of senior officials and officers to match girls who had not succeeded in blind dates. In just half a month, all the girls were married. In fact, the girls did not have many choices. They are now slaves and have no autonomy at all. Their current objects are much better than those seen by their parents. Most of them are poor villagers from Shandong, and most of them can only afford farmers with the same price in their lives. However, the formal employees of the club, even if they are just the lowest-level sailors, have much higher income than that of a farmer.

Lin Qian treats this blind date as a business. He has to pay money if he wants to go to the square. Those who have successfully made the blind date and mediation should also hand over the wedding to the club. The club holds a group wedding for the newlyweds. Of course, this is very unfamiliar to immigrants, but many of the conditions make the man very moved. Anyone who attends a group wedding can get the club's manager, craftsman, officer, and even members of the parliament, and veterans to testify for the marriage, and can save money.

Some people testify that marriage is about face, saving money and worry is about inner life. Most people choose to attend group weddings. Of course, what makes the man a headache is that if he wants to marry his wife, he has to pay the redeem fee to the club. After all, his wife is still the property of the club. However, Lin Qian sets this price very high, and he is young and beautiful, and he often has hundreds of taels of taels, even a widow, which makes many people sucked in the blind date stage. However, the club has been developing for more than three years, and many people still have savings, which still makes the woman in short supply.

During a large-scale blind date and a group wedding, Lin Qian turned the immigration matter into profits, earning nearly 100,000 taels, and directly turned the loss-making business into a profitable business. Of course, Lin Qian's main purpose of holding similar activities was not to make money, but to form a family group.

From the beginning, Lin Qian planned to organize a 2,000-person visiting group to let a 1,000 couples return to Shandong. Of course, visiting relatives is fake, and persuading the woman's family to go to Taiwan is real. All newlyweds and couples who voluntarily participate in the 1990s have reduced their redemption fees and marriage fees by half.

It was stimulated by these policies that the visiting group was finally completed. A pair of newlyweds took a northbound transport ship to Dengzhou and were eventually organized to find relatives in the refugee camp. The son-in-law met his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time, so he naturally took advantage of his actions. The horses, mules, and livestock captured by the club became gifts from the son-in-law of the Dongfan.

It can be said that over the past three years, the backbone and backbone of the club have devoted all the money they earned, and have returned to the club again, becoming wives, houses and gifts to meet their mother-in-law.

After Lin Qian finished telling Li Mingxun, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "The Mingjian of the shopkeeper is dedicated to serving the club. Now he is called the world's No. turtle man. It's really unfair."

Li Mingxun smiled, "Your achievements, I and the Elderly Association will not forget you, don't be discouraged, in the Ming Dynasty, you are the world's No. turtle man, and in the base camp, you are the world's No. 1 matchmaker."

Erya didn't know that someone was talking about her life in the past few months. This Shandong girl, who was only sixteen years old, had experienced great joys and sorrows in just three months. First, her parents favored boys over girls and sold herself cruelly. Erya was nervous on the boat, not knowing what her future fate would be, whether she would become a maid who could be bullied or the dirtiest kiln sister, until she cleaned up and sat at the blind date meeting, watching the strong men walking in front of her, she was still scared.

In the end, Wu Ajiu appeared, completely changing Erya's fate. Wu Ajiu was a Chinese who escaped from Manila. Now he is a Class A craftsman in the shipyard. With his superb craftsmanship, he earns 4.5 taels and a half a month, and earns more than his father's one year. It is precisely because of this that Wu Ajiu has his own single dormitory in the shipyard and a house in the port. In addition to his salary, he also owns fifty acres of land, but because he is alone, he rents the land for others to cultivate.

Wu Ajiu is ten years older than Erya, and his family was killed in Manila. This man joined the visiting group not to save money, but just wanted to repay the club's kindness to him. In addition to saving money, Erya just wanted to go home to persuade her parents and take her family to Taiwan to live.

"Please pay tribute to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Wu Ajiu entered Erya's shack, knelt directly on the ground, and said loudly to the old man.

This old man had never seen such a formation. His son-in-law was even more arrogant than those outside the camp's commanders. He was so scared that he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Dad, why are you talking to your husband? Get up quickly." Erya hurriedly pulled the old man up.

The old man who had just beaten his wife was extremely embarrassed in front of Wu Ajiu. He rubbed his hands and didn't dare to say anything. Wu Ajiu looked at the dark shack around him and said, "I'm going to take the two elders to Dongfan."

The old man didn't dare to look up and muttered, "Listen to my son-in-law, listen to my son-in-law."

At this moment, the curtain of the shack was lifted open, and several heads came in. They were all neighbors of Erya's hometown in Shandong. After Erya explained in Wu Ajiu's ear, Wu Ajiu knew that he was still shouldering the burden of recruiting immigrants for the club. He picked out large pieces of bacon, made bags of salt and noodles, and said to Erya and his mother: "You can work hard with your mother-in-law, let's get some food and entertain your relatives and friends."

Now the shack couldn't sit open, and everyone carried all kinds of food. They arrived at the porridge shed and were about to borrow pots and bowls from the porridge factory. The guys didn't give it to him, so Wu Ajiu took out a piece of scattered silver and threw it to the guys. The guys not only lent the pots and bowls, but also brought two bundles of firewood. Many other newcomers also came to the porridge shed to cook and used the pots and bowls and stoves.

"It's so big a piece of silver, I'm afraid it's half a tael. Erya's son-in-law is really generous." Several neighbors praised him, but the old man looked ugly. He wanted to spend two coins with a copper coin. Half a tael of silver could survive for half a year. How could he withstand such a big deal? Moreover, his son-in-law paid the money and so many people used it, he felt even more distressed.

But Wu Ajiu didn't know that his father-in-law was so thoughtful. After he sat down, he first took out sugarcane wine to entertain the heads of his relatives and friends' families, and then threw a bag of candy to the children. Listening to the sound of stir-frying and stewing meat on the stove, he said, "Elders, Ajiu is polite here."

Logically speaking, each family is his elders, but who dared to receive his tribute at this time stood up one after another. Wu Ajiu said, "I came back this time and took my father-in-law and his family to the East China Federation. We are all relatives and friends, and we don't tell lies. If each family is willing to go, Ajiu is willing to worry about you."

"Hey, my son-in-law, I think you are quite rich. Erya and his family are with you, so they are naturally very popular and delicious. Don't talk about how to live after going there. Even if the shipping fee is not affordable, the whole family can't be sold to the club." An old man whispered.

Wu Ajiu said: "I have 50 acres of water-watered land in Dongban, and they are all good acres of rice that grow three seasons a year. I rent it to others to plant it, so it is even better for my father-in-law to take care of it. Naturally, they will not be hungry. As for you, if you are willing to go, as long as you are willing to sign an agreement, ship supplies, fields, and farm tools, you can give it."

"What agreement?" the old man asked.

Wu Ajiuzhen took out a deer-skin bag from her arms and took out a document. Before she could explain it, the dishes were already served, including large pieces of stewed meat, steamed buns and pancakes, and a pot of meat soup. These hungry people who had been suffering for several months were not caring about documents and quickly started eating them.

According to Shandong rules, women are not allowed to go to the table, but Wu Ajiu asked Erya and her mother to serve, and no one dared to object. Seeing Erya only grab radish from the vegetable pot, the old man said, "Eat more meat, it will grow more plump and be more prosperous. This pickled fish is very fragrant, please try it."

Erya quickly blocked the old man's chopsticks and said, "I don't eat this fish, and I feel uncomfortable when I see it."

Wu Ajiu took the fried pickled fish, put it in his bowl, and said, "Father-in-law Rong, we came from Dongfan on the boat. For more than a month, we ate fish and pickled pork every day on the boat, and were injured."

"I don't believe that people can still get tired of eating meat." Several men shook their heads and stuffed meat into their mouths with large pieces.

"This meat is so fragrant, thick and fat, I have never eaten it." The old man ate a piece of meat and praised.

Several people also picked up chopsticks, picked them up and stuffed them into their mouths, and praised them. Wu Ajiu showed some contempt on his face, but Erya said: "This is whale meat, it is the meat of a fish that is bigger than a house in the sea, and it is the most valuable."

Everyone had no such knowledge. They asked about Dongfan. They heard that Dongfan fish and shrimp were cheaper than food, and they all were amazed.

After dinner, without waiting for Wu Ajiu to introduce the document one by one, Ajiu took out the document and introduced it to everyone. According to the terms of the document, immigrated to Dongban, and the ship supplies and food and clothing along the way were the club. After arriving, they worked for the club's plantations and farms, and the family's food and drink were all handled by the landlords. The laborers paid back three taels of wages every year for six years, which was considered as repaying the debt. After six years, they would regain their freedom and could purchase land and farm tools on their own. If they were willing to reclaim their farms, there would be discounts.

There is another way in the document, which is to borrow money from the community, provide food and drink, ship supplies, and farm tools, and join the land reclamation group. As long as the land reclamation is reclaimed for 30 acres, the loan will be paid off.

Wu Ajiu introduced here, many of them came to listen to it. After listening, they all thought about it and thought it in their hearts. Erya said boldly: "You are going now, there are more benefits. If there are more people going there, there will be less benefits."

"Maybe the land is not enough? I heard that Dongban is a big island." One person asked.
