The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Chapter 496: 0 million Chinese go to Southeast Asia (3)

The big business came to the door, and the clerk was very energetic, and immediately invited the superior Hu to come out and talked with that Zeng Dakang in a good manner.

Zeng Dakang said that he was hungry, so he was full before talking.

Of course, if there is no hard goods after the meal, let him spit out what he ate!

The office is close to the government office ---- It can be seen how powerful the Southeast government has reached!

There are the most food stalls in front of the Fuyamen, and soon a plate of braised donkey meat, a large bowl of hot and sour soup, and a plate of steamed buns with white noodles are steaming hot and fragrant.

Zeng Dakang ate it unceremoniously, like a wind, and quickly ate it up.

Then he said that he had eighty males in his hand, and he was of the same clan, and his clan escaped into Taiyuan City, without food and clothing.

There was a severe drought in Shanxi, and the imperial court was so poor that there was no money for disaster relief. There were several cars every day in Taiyuan that pulled dead people out of the city!

Zeng Dakang was begging on the street and was too hungry. He heard passers-by talk about recruiting people in the Southeast Mansion. When he thought of having nowhere to go, he came to try his luck. This guy was a bit cunning and heard about the "introduction fee"!

Then he learned the good news: "For those who have introduced fifty people, the introduction fee for each male is 800 coppers!"

8oo*8o=64ooo pieces of copper, that is, 64 coins, the current price of one tael of silver = 15oo pieces of copper, there are also nearly 43 taels of silver.

Zeng Dakang was overjoyed, but he had concerns. Needless to say, 64 taels would be costly. Even 43 taels of silver was a lot. It was too obvious. If he took out these copper coins and silver, he would be in trouble!

This guy wants to monopolize the introduction fee!

Not afraid of him asking for money, most afraid of him not asking for money, as long as he can get things done, giving money is nothing!

The office said that special affairs are to be done, as long as Zeng is really bringing 80 men to Southeast Asia, 43 taels of silver? Give him four taels of gold!

Let's say it!

Four taels of gold were easy to carry, and it was not easy to be exposed. Zeng Dakang was satisfied. So accompanied by two clerks, Chief Hu also went to the street to find the tribe.

That's terrible, a bunch of people are lying on the ground, all hungry and skinny, the children are weak, the adults don't even have to say the answer.

I found the patriarch Zeng Ankang and heard that Zeng Dakang had done this by pulling the line. Chief Hu said: "As long as you sign and **** you to Southeast Asia, you will immediately give you food, and you will have enough food!"

At this point, Zeng Ankang numbly replied, "Good! Good! Good!"

So Chief Hu asked everyone to help the old and the young to go to a stronghold outside the city, where a big mule and carriage store took a break.

When they got there, the clerk had already prepared gruel and hard buns, plus side dishes.

Sign here and pay, and give food over there!

Then he settled down and stayed at the Chase Shop, where he had enough food for three meals a day, and he arranged a bath in the bathhouse and gave him clean coarse clothes.

The members of the Zeng clan were ignorant and booked a deed to sell in Southeast Asia. Since some people have come to the stronghold in the past few days and "have enough" three hundred people to leave, they have not yet come out.

As a result, a member of the Zeng clan met his fellow villagers on the street and said that many of his fellow villagers dig coal in the Datong mining area and live a good life, earning 50 taels of silver a month!

This side is in Datong, and the other side is leaving their hometown. The Zeng clan members have regretted it!

The patriarch Zeng Ankang secretly connected, asking everyone to prepare to leave tomorrow.

They were hiding the truth from Zeng Dakang. Fortunately, Zeng Dakang had a brother who told him about it. At the beginning, Zeng Dakang thought this was very good. Mining earns 50 taels of silver a month without leaving home.

However, he touched the hard object on his body---two taels of gold. The office paid him half, and the other half waited until they arrived in Southeast Asia.

Gold!

These four or two pieces of gold can buy more than 20 acres of land. Minors don’t even talk about gold, even silver is rarely seen. If miners show gold without a reasonable statement, they will be caught by the government as the source of funds is unknown. Getting up is not a trifling matter!

This Southeast Office office is just giving the gold to what it says. It is conceivable that they are powerful!

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Zeng Dakang got. He woke up in the middle of the night to urinate, and quietly found the office staff to inform him, and wanted to return the two taels of gold to him!

The office staff was taken aback and said they would report to their superiors, but let Zeng Dakang hold the gold first.

Zeng Dakang came back to sleep on the bunk in less than five minutes after going out, but did not sleep well all night.

After daybreak, the Zeng clan members ate breakfast and went away in batches.

First, the woman and the child said that they were ready to leave their hometown and went out to have a look.

OK, no problem!

But when the male wanted to go out, Chief Hu showed up, and then took the four local government officials!

Everyone of the Zeng clan can't leave, let's talk about it.

Everyone sat down and Chief Hu said, "Looking at you, you don't want to fulfill the treaty anymore. Okay, no problem!"

The people of the Zeng clan were surprised and delighted to hear that the people from Southeast Mansion were so happy? !

"But!" Chief Hu said in a long voice: "You eat ours, use ours, how much you spend, you have to get back!"

"Just follow the military system, one bucket of rice a day, you have eighty, women and children, we don't even count!"

"Three days!" Chief Hu reckoned: "A total of two hundred and forty buckets of rice. According to the price of rice in Taiyuan City, one bucket of rice is three taels of silver. Give us back seven hundred twenty taels of silver. Let you go. There is no difference. !"

"Ah!" The Zeng clan almost fainted!

They couldn't afford the huge sum of money after selling them. Someone said angrily: "You are deliberately high prices, strong buying and selling!"

Officer Hu pointed his finger outside and said, "Go and see the price of rice outside!"

The man was speechless!

In the early years of Chongzhen, the price of a bucket of rice was four silver coins. Now, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, there was a disaster in Shanxi, and a bucket of rice was three taels of silver!

And in Henan Province, where the peasant army and the official army repeatedly saw each other, a bucket of rice amounted to fifteen taels of silver!

You may not be able to buy it if you have money!

"Brother, don't think we are being taken advantage of!" Chief Hu sneered.

At this time, the officer said: "If you pay for your food, if they don't let go, we will definitely interfere!"

It's just a joke, can you give seven hundred and twenty taels of silver, and even sign a contract to sell it? !

Chief Hu asked: "Since we have invested such a large amount, we have been observing you, and now that something is wrong with you, we will stop it."

He excused Zeng Dakang and explained their reasons, and then Chief Hu asked: "Well, why are you leaving? Can you find something better than us?"

Zeng Ankang said authentically: "When I met my fellow villagers, I said that I would go to Datong to mine coal for five taels of silver a month!" He crossed his fingers.

Oh, no wonder, I met a colleague! Officer Hu laughed and said, "He is lying to you!"

"As far as I know, as long as you go to the coal mine, you will dig coal in the underground, not to see the sun, not to mention the wages, it is good to have a full meal!" Chief Hu revealed the so-called old bottom road of coal mining, hehe, Nanfangfuhe Dig Coal mining companies are robbing labor. The difference is that the Southeast government is kind. After all, what Yan Dashao wants is long-term stability~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and those coal mining are purely one-shot businesses, using fellowship to deceive people and come to the villagers to meet the fellow , Two eyes are dripping with tears, give a knife behind!

The Zeng clan members were dubious. At this time, the officer said: "I can tell you that you have never heard of coal diggers who make money. Only coal bosses can make money!"

In any case, the Zeng clan cannot repay the debt, so they had to travel obediently and take a boat to Southeast Asia in Tianjin Wei.

Naturally, they arrived in Southeast Asia and did not disappoint them. If the Southeast Mansion did what they said, they were reluctant to think about it.

In the tide of the southeast government moving from Da 6 to Southeast Asia, Yan Changwu's official body brought him great convenience, but some officials did not believe in evil and touched tiger ass.

For example, the new governor of Fujian Wang Daochun!
