    Quanzhou, Fujian.

    Yang Dalang came to Quanzhou City to sell firewood as usual, carrying a load of firewood.

    He is eighteen years old this year, but he is still a bachelor. He is the eldest son of the family, and he has several brothers. His parents are poor farmers, the kind of poor farmers who don't even have any land.

    ??Fujian is a place with many mountains and little land. Land is very valuable, but the population in Quanzhou is not small, so the life of the Yang Dalang family without land is very poor.

    Ever since he was a child, Yang Dalang has never worn a pair of decent shoes, only straw sandals; he has never worn a new piece of clothes, they are all made from old clothes worn by his father. With clothes like this, he cannot  After wearing it, it has to be passed on to the younger brothers below.

    There is less land and more people here in Quanzhou. People who don¡¯t have land farm the land for the landlords. But because there are so many people without land, even if you farm the land for others, there won¡¯t be much land for you to farm.

    Therefore, in addition to farming at home, Yang Dalang mostly chops firewood and brings it to Quanzhou City to sell. Once the firewood is made, it weighs dozens of kilograms. Plus the journey of more than ten miles, he can sell it for more than ten cents if he is lucky.  No, even seven or eight cents will be sold.

    "Share Rem~"

    ¡°The weather is getting hotter and hotter~¡±

    Beside Yang Dalang, Yang Ergou from the same village looked at Quanzhou City in front of me, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but curse.

    "Yeah, it's getting hotter and hotter, but it's finally here. I hope I can sell it for a good price today."

    Yang Dalang looked at Yang Ergou beside him, smiled and said.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s sell the firewood and then go shopping in the city.¡±

    Hearing Yang Dalang's words, Yang Ergou immediately became energetic. Every time after carrying firewood to Quanzhou City, the two of them would have a good stroll in the city. Although they didn't have many coins and couldn't buy anything,  Still, let¡¯s take a look at the colorful world in this city.

    Soon, the two men arrived at the city gate carrying firewood.

    "We're hiring~ We're hiring~"

    "Ryukyu City is recruiting workers. As long as you are willing to work in Ryukyu, you will be paid one tael a month, including food and accommodation. If you work for one year, you will be given three acres of land in Ryukyu~"

    At the gate of the city, someone was holding a strange loudspeaker and kept shouting. The words they spoke were not the local dialect of Quanzhou, but the official dialect of the north. Neither of them understood what they heard, but they looked at the crowd gathering at the gate of the city.  There were a lot of people there, and there were some people taking pictures of the long queue.  The two people also gathered around curiously.

    "What else are they saying? Why can't you understand them?"

    Yang Dalang kept listening, but he couldn't understand what the other party was saying at all. In the south, especially in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Chaoshan areas of Guangdong, the languages ????of each place are different, with different pronunciations and customs.  This situation.

    Yang Dalang and Yang Ergou, who were born and raised in Quanzhou, simply couldn¡¯t understand what the man with the big tin horn said.

    "These people are from the north. They speak Mandarin, and there are also Chinese characters here. It means that they now need to recruit many people to build a city in Ryukyu, which is Jilong Island across the sea. As long as they are willing to go  , I will give you one tael of silver a month, including food and accommodation. After you are satisfied, I will give you three acres of land on Jilong Island."

    Someone nearby who knew the situation also gave Yang Dalang a detailed explanation.

    "Is there such a good thing?"

    When Yang Dalang heard this, his eyes widened immediately.

    With food and accommodation included, one tael of silver a month, and three acres of land after one year's work, this is simply pie in the sky.

    "That's not true. Who knows if it's true? This side of the chicken coop is a barbarian land. Who will believe it? They might want to make everyone become pirates without even knowing.  .¡±

    Someone next to him nodded and said.

    "Probably not. Didn't you see that this notice was stamped with the seal of the government? There were also people from the government accompanying it. The clothes they wore were said to be clothes only worn by errands in the palace."

    Someone else followed and expressed their opinion.

    "Having said that, this is one tael of silver a month, food and accommodation are included, and three acres of land will be returned after one year of work. There are so many good things in the world."

    "Yes, this is no different than pie in the sky."

    "It's okay if we really go to the chicken coop. No matter how close it is, it's not difficult to get there. I'm afraid they'll trick us into going to another place."?He must fight, no matter he wins or loses, even if he dies outside, he feels that he has to fight.

    "Alas~"

    Hearing what Yang Dalang said, Yang Laogen looked at his sons, then the youngest, and finally looked around his thatched house, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

    "Since you insist on going, then go ahead. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. I have been an honest person all my life. In the end, I can't even marry you a wife. I am really a coward."

    "If you want to fight, then go for it. It is always a hope and opportunity."

    "If it is really feasible, then you have to work hard, do more, do more, learn more, and become a person. If they are lying, you and others should be smarter and find a way to survive.  , as long as you are alive, there is hope.¡±

    After thinking about it, Yang Laogen also explained to Yang Dalang.

    He objected at first because he was actually afraid of being deceived. After all, he was his son. If he was deceived and never came back, it would be heartbreaking.

    "I know~ Don't worry. You and your mother should take care of yourself while I'm gone. When the time comes, I'll come back as a human being and take you all with me. From now on, we will cultivate our own fields and never let them be cultivated by landlords again."  land."

    Yang Dalang nodded solemnly, smiling as he thought about the beautiful life in the future.

    "Okay~Okay~"

    Yang Laogen smiled and nodded, and then said to Huang on the side: "Take a few coppers to buy a chicken and prepare it for Dalang to eat." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
