Chapter 102 Pull the gang
The vast sea is endless. Even if the heart is blocked, you will feel clear when you see this boundless blue sky!
Made was feeling this way at this moment.
Standing by the sea, holding Luo Xin's hand, Made felt that his mind seemed to be several times wider at this moment. Behind him and Luo Xin, he was led by the Rising Sun Gan, and Amuer
After a group of Mongolian men had already dismounted and knelt on the beach, they kept carrying the big gift of promising themselves. - They have always lived on the grassland and thought that the grassland was the most vast, but now, the sea has completely convinced them with an absolute attitude.
...
"No wonder the Russians chose this place to establish a port. The Sikht Mountains to the north and North Korea to the south. This port is in the gap between the two, facing the sea, and the terrain is good... Tsk tsk!" Luo Xin's riding skills were better than Made, and she felt the vastness of the sea one step earlier, so she woke up a little earlier.
"Yes. People here say 'Yinwozi, Jinweizi', which means the wealth here. If it weren't for a few people, as long as they were managed properly, they would probably not be much worse than the ports in the south." After Luo Xin, Ma De also said.
"You really plan to build a port here? This requires a lot of people. Although you are a leader of Jilin, you may not be able to attract a thousand people to build a port, right?" Luo Xin asked.
"...Nothing is difficult in the world, I'm afraid that those who are interested will not believe it anymore. If the Russians can build sea cucumbers, I, Made, cannot build it!... Let's go back and find a way!" Madeira pulled the cloak on her body, turned her head and left.
"Haha, you're quite anxious..." Luo Xin murmured and laughed, chased after him, and quickly surpassed. Behind the two were a team of brave Mongolian guards.
...
There is a reason why Made and Luo Xin ran from Ningguta to the seaside to see the address of the port.
On the way back to Manchuria, they had already discussed it with Old Man Fei and others. Sea Cucumber is located in a critical situation, facing North Korea in the south and across the sea in the east, and is an excellent place. The goods from the northeast, especially Heilongjiang and Jilin, want to transport goods to the south, so it is best to take this road. Even if you don’t take this road, it can become a trading window between Manchuria and Japan. Although Japan is very poor and backward now, the four people know what is there, especially now
Japan was one of the countries where the Qing government established formal diplomatic relations. At this time, Japan had a good relationship with China. Japan respected China as the "Shangguo". The Japanese also respected Kangxi, and the government and the opposition called Kangxi the saint of the Shangguo. Of course, this had nothing to do with Old Man Fei and his group. What they were concerned about was that during the 20th anniversary of Kangxi, there were only 73 trading ships between the Qing Dynasty and Japan every year, and there was no increase... What a big loophole?
Therefore, several people agreed to build a fleet within two or three years, explore the waterway from sea cucumber to Japan, and start trade.
And this task naturally has to be handed over to Made and Luo Xin, who are closest to Hai Chuanwei.
However, it seems that this matter is not that easy now.
"People, people, people, what we need most now is people, but where are there?" Made was riding a horse on the grassland, while pondering. As he thought, he turned his eyes to Luo Xin, "Xinxin, why don't you go to Eastern Mongolia to borrow some people?"
"...You idiot? If the people from Eastern Mongolia entered Manchuria, Kangxi would think they wanted to rebel. Besides, could I borrow their people? That's just a port construction, not a house, just find 180 people..." Luo Xin said with a blank look and said.
"Oh, Mr. Fei's immigration plan has just begun, and there are not many people. Could it be that I would ask me to find Brother Yu and his wife? But the staff in Heilongjiang are almost all in the hands of Pengchun, and they are not as many people as I can command." Ma De said a little sadly.
"Hmph, this is not possible? Which 'hero' said just now, 'Nothing in the world, I'm afraid of those who are interested'? Ma De, don't let me look down on you!" Luo Xin said.
"Seeing me? So what if you look down on me? Thinking I'm afraid?" Ma De smiled, "Anyway, you can't marry anyone else anymore. Even if you look down on me again, I'm not afraid..."
"Hmph! Don't be too proud too early..." Luo Xin smiled dangerously, shook her hand and waved her whip over Ma De's head.
"By the way, Xinxin, doesn't Russia like to exile people to Siberia? And they still use serfs. How about we hire or just buy some serfs and exiles?" The whip rang in Mad's ear, but it scared his head and his idea came immediately.

"Master Fei, do you want me to go with you?" Prince Jian Labu is now afraid of Old Man Fei and his gang. In fact, it is not only him, but also the other "kings" characters in Fengtian, who don't want to meet Old Man Fei and others. He is unlucky once, and Labu's experience has made them wary of Old Man Fei.
"That's right, Prince. I want to reshape my eight banners. As a descendant of Aisin Jueluo and a descendant of Prince Zheng, the prince naturally cannot stay out of the matter..." Old Man Fei kowtowed his chin and nodded constantly.
"You don't do this. Just go to Liaodong and go around for a while and you can shape the heroic spirit of my bannermen again? I said Ferdinand, don't treat me as a fool!" Labu said unhappy. He stayed well at home, but Ferdinand suddenly came to the door, which made him uneasy. He thought that the old man was now hard and wanted to settle the score with him. Now when he heard that, he actually wanted to train the bannermen who had just arrived in Fengtian so that these people could understand the rules. But just such a small thing made the old man say "making the heroic spirit of my bannermen again". As soon as the banner was raised, he wanted to bring him, Prince Jian, into it.
"Oh, the prince is so serious. How dare I treat you as a fool? But look at you, you probably have to be three feet tall now, right? Your belly is not short, so you will be a little fat. If you don't exercise for a while, your body will easily get into some problems..." Old Man Fei said.
"What do you mean by Ferdinand? What does it have to do with your health?" I don't know what to do, but listening to Old Man Fei's words, Labu felt a sense of depression.
"Your Majesty is wrong. Is it wrong for me to care about you?..." Ferdinand laughed and said, "It's just that I heard that you had written a book when the emperor was pacifying the Three Feudals. He said that you would bring 5,000 Manchu cavalry to wipe out the world for the emperor; you also wrote a book when the emperor fought in the west, saying that you would bring 10,000 iron cavalry to pacify Mobei... Speaking of which, your bold words are always stirred up in my heart. I think you are a 'big hero' who has not been born... But, if you let the emperor know what you are now, you may be misunderstood..."
"Ferdinand, do you dare to threaten me?" Labu was furious. Ferdinand really thought he was a soft man? The emperor could pinch him, but he could pinch him too?
"How dare I?" Ferdinand straightened his body and smiled, "But this training has great benefits. I have always felt sorry for the old house that occupied your family, so I came to find you. First, please come and help me and suppress those disobedient guys; second, I want to divide the credit with you; third, I am just sharing some benefits together..."
"Hmph, I think the first one you said is true, right? What are the benefits of training a bunch of stupid people?" Labu said disdainfully.
"What the prince is talking about is that you are the king of iron hats. Of course, you don't care about any benefits, but this benefit is still quite large..." Old Man Fei said.
"Some quantity? How much can it be?" Labu asked humming from his nose.
"This number!" Old Man Fei stretched out a finger.
"Ten thousand taels?" Labu was moved. He stayed in Fengtian, and he was really not half the matter of birds, and he could only get a little salary every year. However, the prince of the Qing Dynasty was poor, and his annual salary was only 10,000 taels of silver and 10,000 hu of rice. The others were the income from the manor left by his ancestors, but that was just fur medicine. As a prince, he could not sell these things, right? Besides, this is Manchuria, and there was no place to sell it. If what Ferdinand said was true, 10,000 taels would be equivalent to double his salary this year.
"Ten thousand taels? Prince, how dare you take this little money slave in front of you? You dare not bother me, Prince, you have already traveled?..." Old man Fei pretended to be wronged.
"Difficult, is it...yes..."
"That's right, the prince, 'yes' ten thousand taels! And, 100,000 taels per year!"
"You, are you saying true?" He rushed to Old Man Fei in one step, and Labu stared at the other party's eyes and asked nervously. One hundred thousand taels, he had never seen so much money in his life. Besides, one hundred thousand taels a year.
"Prince? Who are you?..." Old man Fei also stared at Labu's eyes and asked.
"What...what means?"
"Prince, you are the descendant of Prince Jian, the old Prince Zheng Jierhalang, the bloodline of Aisin Jueluo, the iron hat king of the dynasty. You said, as your identity, do I... dare to lie to you?" Old Man Fei said word by word.
