The meeting broke up quickly. After all, everyone had not eaten yet and had to attend night classes later. Liu Jin did not take up too much of everyone's time and simply announced the matter to everyone.
As soon as the meeting ended, Tian Erniu asked Zhao Houhou and Shaxiong very seriously.
"I don't know~"
Zhao Houhou looked down at the ground and said a little at a loss.
"I listen to you. If you tell me to go, I will go."
Silly Bear simply did not bother to think about it, so he just followed everyone.
"Er Niu, Da Hu, are you two really going to Golden Continent?"
Zhao Houhou looked at Tian Erniu, then at Dahu and asked: "This Golden Continent is thousands of miles away from our Ming Dynasty. The sea is so rough that you may never come back.
"
"Go, of course you have to go, you must go."
Dahu's attitude was very resolute, and he said in an extremely firm tone: "This is a good opportunity for us to change our own destiny. Didn't Mr. Liu just say that as long as we go to Huanghuangzhou, we will change our household registration. From now on, we will no longer be
These are ruined military households, and our descendants will no longer have to work for those hundreds or thousands of households for generations."
"They can be like other people, they can study, they can take the imperial examinations, they can be officials, they can get ahead, instead of being like our ancestors who have been military households for generations and slaves of hundreds or thousands of households.
, they don’t have enough to eat, so they have to go out to beg every winter to survive the winter.”
"I've had enough of this kind of life. Even though the mountains and rivers of Huanghuangzhou are dangerous, the winds and waves are strong, and I may never return, I still want to fight for myself and my descendants."
The more Dahu talked, the more excited he became, so much so that he clenched his fists tightly.
When he was in Gulou Village, he lived a miserable life, worrying about filling his stomach every day. After coming to Xishan, the daily night classes broadened his horizons and increased his knowledge. It also made him clearly understand that he wanted to
To change his own destiny and the destiny of his descendants, he must change his household registration.
The shabby military households had no future in the Ming Dynasty. They could not do business or do crafts, let alone study, take the imperial examinations and become officials. They could only be exploited and oppressed from generation to generation.
Faced with such an opportunity, he had no hesitation, he had to seize this opportunity.
"Brother Dahu is right. This is our best opportunity. Even if we die at sea, we will have at least 50 taels of silver to pay for our wife and children, which is enough for them to live a good life."
"If we don't seize the opportunity to fight now, we will never get ahead. Even though we are living happily in Xishan now, after a while, after the spring begins, we will still have to go back to Gulou Village.
Continue to plow and farm land for thousands and hundreds of households of those dogs."
"When winter comes, we still don't have enough to eat or wear, and we still have to beg outside to survive the winter. Others who are not military households are much better off."
"They can definitely turn into formal workers and continue working here in Xishan."
"Monkey, silly bear, don't miss this opportunity, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Tian Erniu also nodded solemnly and said, like Dahu, he had already made up his mind to sign up to go to Golden Continent.
"I listen to you~ Wherever you go, I will go."
Silly Bear touched his head. Although the others were a little stupid, he knew the good and bad qualities of those people. He knew that he would not go wrong by following Tian Erniu and Dahu.
"Okay, let's do it. Anyway, there are many brothers in my family. One more brother is not more than me, and one less brother is not less than me."
Zhao Houhou hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay~ Let's sign up now~"
When Dahu and Tian Erniu heard this, they immediately smiled happily and didn't even bother to have dinner, so they went straight to Sun Xin to sign up.
When the four of them arrived at Sun Xin's side, they found that the place was already overcrowded and there was a long queue. Apparently there were many people who wanted to go to Golden Continent. Everyone thought it would be a good idea to turn around and make a fortune.
Chance.
"Er Niu, you're here too, I'm telling you, you will definitely come."
Tian Erniu had just queued up when a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him turned around and greeted Tian Erniu with a smile.
"Brother Dazhu, are you going to Huanghuangzhou too?"
Tian Erniu looked at Ding Dazhu and said with a smile, Ding Dazhu and Tian Erniu are different. Their household registrations are good and there is no need to go to Huanghuangzhou to change their household registrations.
"why are you not going?"
Ding Dazhu asked rhetorically.
"Uh~ I remember your household registration is quite good."
Tian Erniu replied blankly.
"Yes, my household registration is good, and I can study, take the imperial examination, and become an official, but do you think a poor person like me can afford to educate my children?"
"Although I have a good household registration, I am actually just as poor as you. I work hard all year long farming for the landlord and don't even have enough to eat."
"I have lived through enough of this kind of life. After coming to Xishan, I understood a truth. This person must fight and fight, otherwise he will not even have a chance to win."
"Although it is very dangerous to go to Huanghuangzhou, and you may die at sea, but I believe Mr. Liu. He said that gold is everywhere in Huanghuangzhou. That is absolutely correct."
"Think about it, this Golden Continent is full of gold, and we can share 10% of the profits from this trip. Even though there are a lot of people, if we can bring back a boatload of gold, we will join them."
"What's more, Mr. Liu asked us to go to Huanghuangzhou. There's no reason not to go. If it weren't for Mr. Liu, I, Ding Dazhu, might have starved to death or froze to death last year. This great kindness must be repaid, not to mention that Mr. Liu will definitely
There is a way for us to come back safely."
Ding Dazhu's analysis was sound and logical. The most important thing was that he still believed in Liu Jin. He also longed to turn around in his heart. He didn't want to be a poor farmer all his life, farming for the landlords and not even having enough to eat.
"Dazhu said it well, let's go together and fight for a future at sea!"
Someone heard Ding Dazhu's words and cheered repeatedly.
"Master Liu said it well, a wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit~ If we don't fight and fight, we will never turn over."
Others also followed suit. A group of people who used to be honest and just wanted to have enough to eat. After being brainwashed by Xishan night classes, they all turned into tigers and wolves. Their eyes were flashing with excitement and they were thinking freely in their minds.
