- "Do you think I'm possessed by a demon?"
Liu Dashen¡¯s reaction was already within the expectations of Master Wang.
Well!
"Yeah, no! No! That's not the case."
When Master Wang asked him this question, Liu Dashen subconsciously answered, but he immediately reacted and shook his head.
"You don't have to be like this. In fact, I don't know why I have such an idea. Maybe it's because I'm old."
Mrs. Wang¡¯s words were full of sadness.
Yes, he is already in his fifties this year and is about to turn sixty.
In this day and age, there are very few sixty-year-olds.
You must know that medical technology in ancient times was underdeveloped, and the living environment was very difficult.
Therefore, very few people can live to be sixty years old.
This is why there is a saying that "sixty years old is rare".
Although there are people in this era who live to be sixty or seventy years old, such people are really too few.
It was precisely because of his age and this experience that Master Wang came up with this idea.
During the days when Liu Dashen was in coma, Mrs. Wang wandered around and talked with the genetic soldiers. She felt that the people of Zhao Song were easy to deal with.
They do not have the bad character of those people in the Ming Dynasty, and Master Wang is very clear about this.
And those genetic soldiers also sent invitations to him one after another, intentionally or unintentionally instilling some ideas in him.
In short, if the Ming Dynasty is not good, come to the Zhao Song Dynasty.
It¡¯s better to come here and be a good citizen and divide the land than to be a pirate.
Mrs. Wang and the others can no longer hide the fact that they are pirates.
The original captain of the Tulip had already revealed their identity.
Yes, if there is any way out, it is always better than being a pirate.
¡°Isn¡¯t it because Mrs. Wang became a pirate that she couldn¡¯t survive?
Thinking of when I was young. Master Wang fell into memories.
Yes, how did you become a pirate?
That year, there was a flood in my hometown and two days were completely washed away.
Mrs. Wang¡¯s family also fell into a situation of having no food and clothing. In order to survive, they left their hometown and walked from one city to another.
In this process, Master Wang has seen too many miserable scenes in the world.
In order to survive, the refugees continued to riot and stormed the granaries of various county government offices, but most of them were suppressed.
Some people even change their children to eat in order to survive.
Those scenes kept replaying in Master Wang¡¯s mind. Mrs. Wang will never forget those scenes in her life.
Until one day, he accidentally joined a pirate group and found a way for his family to survive.
It was also from that time on that Mrs. Wang gave up on scientific research and became a pirate for the sake of her family.
Although pirates seem to be prosperous on the surface, the bottom members still make very little money.
Most of the wealth is actually divided among the high-level pirate members.
The members at the bottom are just trying to get enough to eat.
But no matter what, it is always better than the one in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.
????????????????????????????????????????????????? At least. Being a pirate involves no officials and no exploitation by landlords.
Although the pirate leaders will exploit a little, they will always be given six ways to survive.
Things won¡¯t go as smoothly as they should.
In this way, Mrs. Wang has been a pirate for thirty years. I also slowly accumulated a sum of money.
And in the past thirty years, I have met the master who became a low-level petty boss.
Compared with ordinary pirates, he is doing well.
"But you can't be a pirate forever.
After all, this is a knife-edge licking blood business.
This time he was captured by the Dutch. It is a living proof.
¡°If it weren¡¯t for their bad luck and the Dutch captain¡¯s whims, they would have met the Lord of Hell long ago.
so. After being rescued, Mrs. Wang began to think about what she should do in the future.
Originally, Mrs. Wang thought it was impossible for them to return to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he was very concerned about his wife and children at home, but he was helpless.
But things took a turn for the worse. The people who rescued them turned out to be descendants of Zhao Song, and these people were exactly the same.Plan to go to the Ming Dynasty to worship ancestors and trade.
¡°In this case, wouldn¡¯t it be possible for me to go home?
¡°Of course Master Wang was very happy at the thought of returning to Ming Dynasty.
But then I thought, what will I do when I go back?
The pirates can no longer continue.
If you continue to do this, it will definitely not end well.
¡°I am not a bachelor, I still have a wife and children at home.
¡°Now my wife is getting old, my daughter is an old girl before she gets married, and my son, who is an honest man, has not yet found a wife.
If they die like this, what will they do?
The Zhao Song Empire seems to be a good choice.
As long as you are willing to join the Zhao and Song Empire and become its subjects, you can get one hundred acres of fertile land.
That¡¯s one hundred acres of fertile land.
This one hundred acres of fertile land is enough for you to become a small landowner, and you no longer have to worry about food and drink.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? And I heard that with the rice seeds planted in the Song Empire, you can harvest more than six dan per acre of land. If you calculate it this way, the harvest from 100 acres of land Heh, I really can't imagine it.
Of course, one hundred acres of land cannot just grow food, but can also grow other vegetables and so on.
And you can also raise some chickens and ducks yourself.
¡°In this way, if you have food and meat to eat, what do you have to worry about in this life?
¡°And in addition to the one hundred acres allocated, I can also buy a few Kunlun slaves.
By that time, I could also be a landlord.
The land!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? !
It has to be said that for the descendants of Yan and Huang, the temptation of land is very huge.
And one hundred acres of land is indeed very attractive to Old Master Wang.
Old Master Wang carefully calculated that he had been a pirate for thirty years and had saved more than one thousand three hundred taels of silver through frugality.
Yes, there is no difference at all, just over one thousand three hundred taels of silver.
This is like being a pirate.
How could he still be frugal with a hugely profitable business?
In fact, not everyone gets rich by being a pirate.
Those who got rich were pirate leaders.
As for the bottom members. All I can do is laugh.
"What can we buy with these more than one thousand three hundred taels of silver in Ming Dynasty?"
If you want to buy land, the price for thin land is 8 taels of silver per acre, for mountainous land is 5 taels of silver per acre, for wasteland is 3 taels, and for good quality land is 12 taels to 15 taels of silver.
Of course, this is the official price.
If there is a disaster, some farmers with land will often sell their fields at cheaper prices to survive.
And at this time, the landowners and nobles. There will be massive acquisitions.
And, the price will be lowered again.
??Looking at it this way, Mrs. Wang¡¯s more than 1,300 pieces of silver seems to be able to buy a lot of land.
But things can¡¯t be seen that way.
First, he is a pirate.
In the Ming Dynasty, he no longer had a household registration.
Therefore, if he wants to return to the Ming Dynasty, he must first bribe some people in the yamen to get a new household registration for himself.
With this household registration. Only then can he live a serious life.
But those who bribed the county government must spend money to manage, so the hundreds of taels of silver that came from the rain would definitely be spent.
At the same time, after getting your household registration. Buying land and buying a house also costs money.
Although in this era you can buy a nice house with a few dozen taels of silver, but as a prince, you have to be careful.
After all, he is a pirate.
Therefore, to buy a house, you have to go through a dentist. But Yaren is familiar with the people at the Yamen, so he must know his identity, so he will definitely be cheated.
And. The number of scammers is certainly not small.
¡°After all this is settled, we can¡¯t rest assured.
From time to time, some hush money and small amounts of money have to be spent.
With more than a thousand taels of silver, I couldn¡¯t help but plunder like this.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out??????
Mrs. Wang is very clear about the methods of officials in the Ming Dynasty.
¡°Didn¡¯t he think about it?
In fact, Chinese people generally rarely leave their hometowns, and even when they do, they rarely leave their homes.?There is also a saying that fallen leaves return to their roots.
This concept is deeply rooted in the bones of any era.
Even in the 21st century, Chinese people would still have this concept, let alone the people of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th century.
Precisely because of this concept, Mrs. Wang did not consider living with her family in other places.
Even if there are so many dangers, he still plans to return to Daming to retire.
But now, a new door has opened.
The American Zhao and Song Empire.
When you go there, you will have a hundred acres of land. You can open up wasteland by yourself. You will be tax-free for three years. After three years, you will be able to hand over 30% of the harvest. The rest will belong to you.
This kind of tax is simply too little.
??And these 100 acres of land are distributed free of charge, without costing you a penny.
In this way, all the more than one thousand taels of silver on hand were saved.
Master Wang asked, in the Zhao and Song Empire, these more than a thousand taels of silver could be exchanged for more than a thousand pieces of longyang, and the ratio was one to one.
And with this money, you can buy fifty or sixty Kunlun slaves.
He doesn¡¯t need that many fifty or sixty Kunlun slaves, ten will be enough.
By then, the money will be able to buy some more wasteland for reclamation.
¡°In this way, wouldn¡¯t I have more than a hundred acres of land on hand?
Landlord!
After becoming a landlord, he could still be a good citizen in Zhao and Song Dynasty.
"You don't have to worry about the officials, you can live a happy life, right?"
Once upon a time, he was also worried about the dark governance of the Zhao and Song Empire.
¡°But what those Zhao and Song sergeants said about the matter made Master Wang feel a little relieved.
There have been no corrupt officials in the Zhao and Song empires for hundreds of years, and anyone who dares to challenge good people will be punished by the Nine Tribes.
Such punishment is not cruel.
But just like that, Master Wang felt that Zhao Song was suitable for life.
If there are no officials, then there is nothing to worry about.
The only thing that makes Master Wang regretful is that he heard all this from Sergeant Zhao Song, not what he saw with his own eyes.
It would be great if you could go to the Zhao and Song Empire to experience it personally and take a look. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
