Early the next morning, Yang Dalang put on a new dress that Huang had changed for him overnight. It was said to be a new dress, but in fact it was made from the clothes worn by Yang Dalang's father, and it was covered with patches.

The wanderer's clothes were tightly sewed before leaving. Even though his family was poor, it was still like celebrating a festival. A chicken was killed last night and he was given new clothes.

"Son, please take care of yourself when you go out."

Seeing Yang Dalang carrying a baggage and getting ready to go out, his mother Huang couldn't help but shed tears and warned her repeatedly.

"Mom, don't worry, my son knows."

Yang Dalang knelt down, kowtowed to his parents, and walked resolutely out of the village.

At the entrance of the village, everyone in the village who knew the news gathered together, and Yang Ergou had been waiting for a long time.

"Er Gouzi, if you go, you will probably never come back. The agreement is a lie. You will be paid one tael of silver a month, including food and accommodation, and you will still have three acres of land after working for a year. Such a good thing,

I’ve never heard of it.”

A young man who was as big as Ergouzi, with his hands aspiring as he looked at Ergouzi next to him, said.

"That's right, there are such good things in the world."

"The chicken coop is full of miasma, and the barbarians are fierce. I heard that these barbarians can eat people. Don't be eaten by these barbarians then."

"I've also heard that when people go fishing at sea, they don't dare to go to the chicken coop. Not only are there barbarians, but there are also Japanese pirates and pirates on the island."

Other people also expressed their opinions one by one, each one more horrifying than the other.

"Go~go, it sounds like you have been there before."

Yang Ergou was not moved at all. He looked at the young men from the same village around him who were the same size as himself, smiled and said: "I think you are jealous. Yang Dalang and I are the only ones in the village who have signed up. You want to sign up?"

I can’t even apply for it.”

"When I come back, I will have money in my hands. Then I will build a big house, and then I will marry a beautiful daughter-in-law. I will envy you to death."

"Haha, it's just you, you don't want to urinate and take photos by yourself. You can talk about it when you come back. You also want to marry a wife. Don't trick you into being a eunuch in the palace. It just so happens that they are all from the north."

"Even if you build a big house and marry a wife, you don't care who will marry you based on what you are like."

When the others heard this, they immediately laughed and said.

At this time, Yang Dalang came over. When everyone saw it, they immediately changed the topic to Yang Dalang.

"Yang Dalang, do you really want to go?"

Yang Liang looked at Yang Dalang's appearance and asked.

"Nonsense, if you don't go, will you spend your whole life cutting firewood and selling it?"

"Your son is already good at making soy sauce, but I can't even get a wife."

Yang Dalang nodded and said.

"I see, these eight scores are a lie. Once you leave, you may never come back."

Yang Liang smiled and felt slightly proud. There were many bachelors in the village. Among the younger generation, he was the first to marry a wife. Because he was the only son in his family, and he had several sisters, so even though he was poor, he could marry a wife.

There is still no problem, at least we can change marriages.

"If I can't come back, I can't come back. I'm going to give it a try~"

Yang Dalang didn't care at all and said to Yang Ergou: "Let's go. If you don't leave, you will be late."

"Okay~"

Yang Ergou didn't even look back and followed Yang Dalang towards Quanzhou City.

Behind them, most of the young people in the village looked at them with extremely complicated eyes. On the one hand, they were actually envious that the two of them could go out for a walk, take a look, and have a try. Even if it was fake, at least they would have a chance.

It's better to go out for a walk than to stay in a poor village all your life.

What's more, if it is true, then it will really be possible to get ahead. When the two came back yesterday, after everyone learned the news, some people hurriedly went to Quanzhou City to sign up. At least at that time, the people were already full.

On the other hand, everyone felt very scared. They were afraid of the outside world and the unknown fate. They also felt that there would be no pie in the world, and they felt that they might never come back.

"Sailei's mother~"

"My parents don't allow me to go. They say that I can't come back. Even if I can't come back, I have to go and see if I can really be a bachelor for the rest of my life in this village. I don't dare."

On the road, Yang Ergou seemed very excited, walking very fast, and chatting while walking.

"My parents didn't agree with it at first, but later I persuaded them."

Yang Dalang smiled and said.

"Do you think they can lie to people?"

Yang Ergou thought for a while and asked again.

"Who knows, you'll find out once you go there."

Yang Dalang shook his head and said.

The two walked and chatted. Time passed very quickly. In the past, when I picked up firewood to go to Quanzhou City, I always felt that the road was very long. But this time, it felt very short. They arrived at Quanzhou City in no time.

generally.

It was the same city gate as yesterday. Hundreds of people had gathered here. Everyone was dressed the same as Yang Dalang and Yang Ergou. They were wearing new, patched clothes and carrying a package. They were talking to people with attributes.

Laughing and chatting.

As for the people nearby, there were some people whose parents were worried and came with them, wanting to see for themselves whether it was reliable and whether they could believe it or not.

Soon, the time arrived at the appointed time, and a group of people walked out of Quanzhou City, all dressed in uniform. Some of them had big iron speakers in their hands, and some of them were holding rosters.

"Yesterday, all those who signed up to build the city in Ryukyu came here to gather. Those whose names I read lined up in order, and followed them to the port, ready to set off by boat."

There is no nonsense, as soon as we arrive, we start taking roll call and get ready to go.

"Zheng Youcai~"

"Coming~"

"Stand here and wait to follow him."

"Li Jiafa~"

"Arrived~"

"Follow Zheng Youcai in front~"

"Lin Xiaoyu~"

"Arrived~"

As the names were read out one by one, people whose names were read began to line up.

"Yang Dalang~"

"Arrived~"

“Follow the people in front of you and line up~”

"Yang Ergou~"

"..."

Soon, the roll call was completed at the city gate. Basically all those who signed up yesterday came, except for a few people who did not come.

"Let me say something here, when everyone walks, follow your own team, don't get separated, and don't get confused. When boarding the ship, everyone should board the ship in order, don't crowd indiscriminately~"

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand~"

"Very good, let's go~"

After explaining this matter, the team of several hundred people started to set off, one after another, divided into several columns and walked towards Quanzhou Port.

Yang Dalang walked silently with the team, looking around as he walked. There were many people around who looked at them curiously, pointing at them, as if they were saying they were stupid, and they seemed to be very envious.

When he arrived at Quanzhou Port, Yang Dalang discovered that there were several teams like theirs. Calculated, the number of people recruited this time was really large, almost more than 3,000.

"So many cows, so many pigs~"

When we arrived at the port, there were hundreds of buffaloes and hundreds of pigs being driven onto the ship one after another at the port pier. The whole scene was very lively.

"Why buy so many cows and pigs?"

Yang Ergou whispered to Yang Dalang.

"Cows should be used to cultivate land, but pigs don't know that."

Yang Dalang thought for a while and said.

"It seems that most of them are not deceiving people. How could they be deceiving people by buying so many cows and pigs? They must be going to the chicken coop to build a city and open up wasteland."

Yang Ergou thought about it and said happily.

"probably."

Yang Dalang thought for a while and nodded.

"What a big boat~"
