1303 Merchants and planters

Clinder smiled and said, "My friend, you should know that the Red Eye Dragon King issuing this bond! Do you think he is a person who is short of money?"

Gao Wen widened his eyes and said, "How could he be short of money! He has to draw so many taxes every year!"

Clinder said with a smug look: "So, a person who is absolutely not short of money will suddenly issue bonds. Do you know what this means?"

Gao Wen said: "What does it mean?"

Clinder said firmly: "War! A man who has strong force and is not short of money suddenly issues large bonds. Then he only needs to do one thing, that is war! Although I don't know who his enemy is, I believe he will definitely win!"

Gao Wen shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily! There are too many uncertain things in the war! Maybe this Dragon King meets a new challenger and may lose this war! Then the money you invest will be lost!"

Clinder said with a cunning look: "It is impossible, my friend! Do you remember the letter I sent to India not long ago?"

Gao Wen said: "Of course I remember. I found a captain to bring you there."

Clinder said: "Now I'm not afraid to tell you the content of that letter. The letter asked my partner to buy the iron ore that had just been discovered."

Gao Wen said: "But I can't see what this has to do with bonds."

Clinder spread his hands and said, "My friend, you should think so. I am the first Westerner to buy bonds. This will undoubtedly bring us closer to the officials under the Red Eye Dragon King. When the war breaks out, under the same conditions, they will purchase the iron ore and iron ingots I provide. The war will increase the price of steel and we will make a fortune!"

Gao Wen opened his mouth wide and said, "Oh my God, you, you are so smart! You actually thought of so much! I can't think of it at all. No wonder you can get rich, but I can only be a captain!"

Clinder smiled and said, "But I will never be as good as you in terms of navigation! Come on, let's have a drink together for the wealth we are about to get!"

In a plantation in Nanyang, its owner, Song Yuliang, called the supervisor and the slave leader, assigned a day's work, and sent them to work. He shouted into the room and said, "I'll go find Lao Dao!"

Without waiting for the people in the house to reply, he took an old horse out of the stable and walked south along the road.

Song Yuliang was once a soldier under Liu Pei's command, but when he was fighting with Liu Pei, he was stabbed into the ribs by a bandit on the side with a knife! Later, he finally saved his life. However, his body was not well cultivated, and he often felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, unable to exert force, so he had to retire.

After he retired, he received compensation and responded to the call of the general to come to Nanyang. When he came here, a lot of land had just been opened up here. Although there were local people causing trouble from time to time, the place near the coast had become quiet.

Song Yuliang is a very thrifty person, and his parents are also calculating people. So when he was in Shandong, life was barely acceptable.

But after Song Yuliang joined the army, his family's life was really getting better! First, the general gave them land, and his younger brothers and sisters had the opportunity to read. Even Song Yuliang learned a lot in the team and broadened his horizons.

So when the general called on everyone to settle in Nanyang, Song Yuliang was the first to sign up. He persuaded his parents to sell all the belongings in the family and come to Nanyang with the money.

When they arrived in Nanyang, the family became more worried and happy! First of all, not to mention the amount of land they divided, the land price was extremely cheap! They used all the money to buy a lot of land!

Because since the land was found here, it has never been cultivated! Even after the natives, they have never cultivated it. Therefore, the land here is extremely fertile!

So Song Yuliang and his family worked diligently on their land to cultivate and raise poultry. And the grain harvest was achieved back then! It’s not that their parents always said that God can fool people, but this land does not fool people! If you treat him well, he will be nice to you!

After working hard for a few years

Song Yonglian had a few spare money in his hand, and his family was preparing to say tribute to him. However, Song Yuliang refused. Because he broadened his horizons, he felt that there were more opportunities here, and it was not a good thing to spend all the money too early.

So he bought all his money and started to open a plantation in the woodland. Although he didn't understand what Dashuai wanted the rubber tree to do, he still planted a large number of rubber seedlings.

When the rubber was harvested a few years later and sold it to the government, his parents would no longer complain about him. Because it was really a lot of money! Until now, Song Yuliang remembers his parents' expressions when they were dazed at a pile of silver ingots!

With this experience, Song Yuliang's idea was even stronger, that is, follow the Grand Marshal! The Grand Marshal did whatever he asked him to do!

Song Yuliang rode his horse along the road and soon arrived at another plantation. The owner of this plantation was the Lao Dao in his mouth. Lao Dao was named Zhang Chao, a bankrupt bodyguard. He was also a soldier under Liu Pei. It was because he was good at playing with his sword that he was called Lao Dao.

Like Song Yuliang, he was also injured and retired from the military service. Zhang Chao turned out to be a sword and shield soldier. He was cut off his hand during the battle, so he couldn't take the sword and had to retreat. Then he came to Nanyang like Song Yonglian. However, the plantation of Laodao was planted with sugarcane and grain.

When Song Yuliang arrived, he saw a man at the gate of the manor. Song Yuliang also knew this man and was a slave trader. Many of his slaves were bought in his hands.

Seeing that he and the guards were still driving the efforts, Song Yuliang did not talk to him much, and then went into Zhang Chao's manor with a simple greeting.

When he went in, Zhang Chao was relocating slaves. He shouted casually and sat under the tree, waiting for Zhang Chao to finish his work. He also brought Zhang Chao's teapot to pour himself a cup of tea.

After finishing his busy schedule, Zhang Chao came over, grabbed the teacup and poured the cold tea water, and said, "It's good everywhere in Nanyang, but the weather is too hot!"
