At the restaurant, Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang were enjoying the delicious food while discussing the matter of asking their families to come over and invest in Ryukyu.
Of course, at this time, it was not just the two of them, there were many people in the entire fleet who saw the huge potential of Ryukyu City, and everyone was constantly discussing everything about Ryukyu City.
Night falls and the sky becomes dark.
However, Ryukyu City has become even more lively. The streets and shops are still busy. The whale oil lamps shine brightly, illuminating Ryukyu City brightly.
"Xiaoer, why are there more people like this at night?"
Zhu Benduan looked at the denser flow of people on the street and couldn't help but ask the waiter next to him.
"Sir, there is no curfew in Ryukyu City. You can play as you like, even until dawn."
"Because in the summer here, it's very hot during the day and very cool at night, so everyone is accustomed to going out for shopping, eating late-night snacks, drinking, etc. at night."
The waiter smiled and explained.
"Eating late night snacks and drinking?"
I wish I had some doubts.
In the Ming Dynasty of this era, whether it was a city or a rural area, as long as it was evening, it would basically be dark and everyone would go to bed. There was no such thing as nightlife.
Even places like brothels and Chuguan have limited business hours, and it is impossible to let you play until dawn. Unless you are a truly wealthy patron, it is simply impossible to stay overnight.
On this point, even in Tianjin New Town there are restrictions. In Tianjin New Town, curfews are also required at certain times, but of course the curfew is relatively loose.
But things are completely different here in Ryukyu Castle. There are no time limits, no curfew, and you can play whatever you want until dawn.
"For late-night snacks, it means eating barbecue, and for drinking, it means drinking sugar cane wine. You will know when you go and have fun at night."
The waiter smiled and continued.
“Can sugar cane also make wine?”
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Feng asked quickly.
"Of course. Sugar Cane Girl's wine is very sweet and refreshing. It's perfect for eating barbecue. It's the most popular wine here in Ryukyu City. Do you two want to try it?"
The waiter nodded and started selling very smartly.
"Come and have a taste~"
Feng Xiang nodded and said.
"Okay~ Sir, please wait a moment~"
When the waiter heard this, he immediately got busy happily.
“Can sugar cane also make wine?”
Feng Xiang shook his head slightly, somewhat unconvinced.
Of course, sugarcane winemaking was also taught by Liu Jin. Sugarcane wine is actually a very famous rum in later generations, and rum is brewed from sugarcane.
Sugar cane wine tastes sweet and mellow, has a light fragrance, is smooth in the mouth, does not cause headaches, and is a very good famous wine, and it is also very popular in later generations.
Sugar cane is the main cash crop here in Ryukyu City. In addition to using sugar cane to extract sugar, it is natural to develop more products. This sugar cane wine is a very good product.
Wine has been loved by the public since ancient times.
From the princes and nobles to the ordinary people, they all love wine very much, and the sales volume is very large. In the future, it can gradually become a major specialty here in Ryukyu.
Soon, the sugar cane wine was brought to the table by the waiter, and Zhu Bende and Feng Xiang couldn't help but taste it.
"Yes, yes, this wine is very good. It tastes mellow, has a unique fragrance, and has a touch of sweetness, which is enough to compare with wines such as Fenjiu and Nuerhong."
After tasting it, Feng Xiang nodded slightly and said.
"It's really good. This Ryukyu city mainly grows sugar cane. This sugar cane can be used to boil sugar and make wine. They are all good things~ and they are also profitable businesses."
“It is definitely very promising to open a plantation here~”
Zhu Benduan nodded and became more convinced of the idea of opening a plantation here. For wealthy families like them, they would be involved in all kinds of profitable business. It would be safer to put eggs in multiple baskets.
Insurance.
Because there is no curfew, the nightlife in Ryukyu City is very rich. You can drink tea in teahouses, drink in restaurants, have barbecue in barbecue restaurants, and invite friends to the chess and card room to play chess and mahjong together. Life is colorful.
Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang had a meal for more than an hour. After eating, they walked around Ryukyu City very casually. There was no curfew and there were no government offices here. It seemed to be a place outside the law.
But everything here is orderly and orderly. Even at night, it is very safe here. Although it is not as bad as not picking up things on the road or closing the door at night, you can see that everyone here seems very relaxed, free and unrestrained.
Although people here come from all over the world, including people from the Loess Plateau in the northwest, and people from Fujian, different accents gather here.
Along with different accents, delicacies, living habits, etc. from all over the Ming Dynasty were also brought here. Here you can taste authentic pasta from the north, and you can also taste rice and rice noodles from the south.
They come from all over the world, but they live together in harmony, with smiles on each other's faces, regardless of north or south, or east or west.
This made Du Mingen and Feng Xiang couldn't help but nod their heads. At the same time, they were deeply impressed by the management of Ryukyu City. They were able to manage everything in an orderly manner and integrate people from all over the world.
No matter where you are from, no matter what your previous background is, when you come here to Ryukyu Castle, you are a Ryukyu native.
Regarding this point, both of them could clearly feel it from these people. They felt that these people deeply recognized Ryukyu City and cherished it as their own home.
The next day, the two of them got up very late.
After walking on the sea for half a month, I was very tired. I had a good night's sleep in Ryukyu Castle last night, so I slept until three o'clock in the morning the next day.
After taking a good rest, the two of them began to inspect the entire Ryukyu Castle inside and out.
Since you have decided to invest here, you naturally need to have an in-depth and detailed understanding of the place and find out the situation here, so that you can ensure that your investment will not be in vain.
Similar to Zhu Benduan and Feng Xiang, many people in the fleet are inspecting the inside and outside of Ryukyu City, from the farmland and villages outside Ryukyu City, to the orchards, breeding farms, etc. on the mountains, to the shops inside the city.
, factories, workshops, and even docks, ships, etc. at the bend of the Tamsui River.
You can see these people everywhere, talking to local people in Ryukyu City and asking about relevant things.
There are many people who see the huge potential of Ryukyu City, so much so that Ryukyu City has received many, many letters. These letters have been sent to all over the world during the Ming Dynasty. The contents are almost the same. They all tell the bosses and families behind them about Ryukyu City.
Everything here tells the story of the huge potential and business opportunities contained here.
"Young master Liu is still very powerful. He allowed the fleet to dock here for two days to promote and advertise our Ryukyu city. Then, I'm afraid there will be a steady stream of people coming to our Ryukyu city without any effort on our part~
"
In Li Yuanshan's office, Li Yuanshan naturally knew everything that happened here in Ryukyu City. Looking down at the bustling Ryukyu City, and looking at the figures inspecting everywhere, Li Yuanshan couldn't help but admire Liu Jin.
"Liu Jin is really powerful. If the Ryukyu City model is promoted overseas in the future, it will definitely be very good. However, if this plantation economy is to be popularized, it will still require a large amount of labor. This cheap labor will definitely become a problem."
Beside Li Yuanshan, Du Mingen smiled and nodded. His eyes had already looked far away and saw the future.
