This is only the first requirement. The second requirement is also more stringent, which is to obtain the consent of the singers themselves. If the singers are unwilling, even Mr. Wuzhou will not force it.
"This is indeed a bit difficult, hey!" A family head sighed. There is no way to force it, and you can't spend money. You have to please the other person yourself and marry him through a matchmaker. It is really difficult to handle.
"So, it's been three years since Qiushiju opened its doors, and not many people have gotten married."
"Indeed, these conditions are too harsh, but those people are lucky enough to marry the girl here."
"They are all young talents from Fujian. Most of them are newly promoted candidates, and there are some well-known scholars." As he said this, the head of the family showed an inexplicable smile.
"Hahaha, I see, Mr. Wuzhou is really awesome."
This was not the woman Wang Xuan prepared for the family heads. Even without these women as bridges, these family heads would not dare to oppose Wang Xuan's decision. Even with these women as bridges, these family heads would not obey Wang Xuan's words.
Therefore, Wang Xuan would not waste such precious resources on these fat-headed guys.
A group of people had fun until the evening, and then went to the 'Xinghui Nightclub'. This is also a place that has been praised and praised for a long time. After all, Wang Xuan has not promoted the 'Xinghui Nightclub' in other places. The main reason is that now he
Some people look down on the money. As for gathering intelligence, the brothels in Baihuamen are enough.
A group of house owners did a good job of 'slaying demons'. They killed a 'fox spirit' and a 'rabbit spirit'. If they were in poor health, a 'cat girl' sucked them dry. Anyway, when they came out of the nightclub, one by one
They are all soft-handed and weak-footed.
"Compared with Fuzhou Prefecture, our other prefectures are far behind..." A group of people lamented that they had no choice but to let Wang Xuan take charge here.
A group of people had so much fun that they returned late at night. After all, it took two days to set off, so they could still have a day to rest.
On the day of gathering and departure, some family heads set off to the pier early. Most of them couldn't confirm the exact time, so they had to go there early and wait. As for letting Wang Xuan wait, they didn't have the courage to do so.
dare.
On this trip to sea, Wang Xuan stipulated that each person could bring up to four people. After all, no matter how big the ship was, it was not a specialized passenger ship and could not provide such good conditions to accommodate so many people.
Nearly three hundred people were waiting at the shipyard. Wang Xuanzui arrived at eight o'clock. After arriving, he did not greet everyone, but simply said hello and started boarding the ship.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this kind of big ship with their own eyes. Even if they had imagined how big the ship was, they still felt how small they were when they actually appeared in front of them. Standing under the ship, the mountain-like mountain requires you to look up.
.
Stepping up the stairs, a group of people began to walk onto the top deck one after another, just on the deck.
Everyone walked around on the deck impatiently, looking here and there. Everything felt strange. The towering mast, which seemed to be tens of meters tall, was higher than the city wall. Those big sails, that
The thick cables, the huge anchor, and the thick sides of the ship give it a feeling of solidity, heavyness, hugeness, and unrivaled.
Thinking about the small boats I had seen before, they would have been directly crushed by such a large ship.
"Okay, everyone, we have arranged cabin rest for everyone. However, this is a cargo ship after all, and the conditions are relatively simple. Don't mind. We will set off in half an hour. Everyone, be prepared. When we arrive at the sea, we will slowly
There are wind and waves, and it will be very uncomfortable if you get seasick, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
Fortunately, Wang Xuan has deep inner strength, otherwise it would be troublesome to notify the chaotic crowd.
Sailors from the ship came to find the heads of each family and took the people down to arrange accommodation. After half an hour, the sails were slowly raised and the ship slowly sailed out of the port and headed straight to the open sea.
This time there was not only one ship going there, but also several ships following behind. There were 300 people from the special team as escorts, and the rest were various craftsmen who were responsible for measuring the topography and soil testing.
, planning the locations and methods of city and port construction, and subsequently including surveying of water conservancy facilities and road surveying.
In addition, there are also mine exploration companies. After all, to build Xiaoliuqiu, it would be inconvenient to transport all the materials from Fujian. It would be best if they could be obtained locally.
About half a year before this, Wang Xuan had already sent several waves of people to Xiaoliuqiu to set up a front station, draw a rough map of the island, locate ports suitable for berthing large ships, build lighthouses and simple docks, and explore where there are plains along the way.
, may be suitable for land reclamation.
Since Wang Xuan wants to bring these aristocratic families to Xiaoliuqiu for on-the-spot investigation, he must be prepared and sure. What he wants is to attract these people at once.
After all, it would be impossible to develop this place by Wang Xuan alone, that would be too troublesome.
Wang Xuan pays more attention to the overall development. As for himself, these things are not really in his heart.
The big ship went out to sea and approached the middle of the bay strait at noon. From here, the wind and waves became relatively strong. Fortunately, a ship with a displacement of 2,000 tons was already considered a giant ship. Even waves of more than one meter high could not react much.
But even so, some family heads still started to get seasick. The youngest of these people were all in their forties, and their physical fitness was much poorer, so seasickness was inevitable.
Fortunately, the reaction was not too violent. On the next day, the ship entered the vicinity of Xiaoliuqiu and began to sail southward along the coastline.
Standing on the deck, through the telescope given by Wang Xuan, these people could already see the shadow of the land in the distance. As expected, they could not see the horizon at a glance, and everyone began to feel faintly excited.
In the entire Xiaoliuqiu, the grain production areas are the Yilan Plain, the Jianan Plain, the Pingtung Plain and the Taitung Rift Valley Plain, mainly the Taichung Basin. Wang Xuan also knew the general idea before, and had an explanation for the early exploration team. The purpose of such exploration
The land is more clear, and it also points out the direction for the development of Xiaoliuqiu.
After traveling along the coastline for another two days, the big ship began to slowly approach the island.
The first destination of the big ship was Changhua County, Taichung, known as the Bay Barn.
If you want to enter Changhua, the best way is to take a boat and take the Zhuoshui River. However, only small boats can pass here, but this 2,000-ton ship has to dock at the shore.
Gradually approaching the shore, on the north side of the outlet of Zhuoshui River, there is a small stronghold that Wang Xuan sent people to establish before. The stronghold is very small, with only a few wooden stilted buildings. On the shore, there is a passable
Yes, the plank road about 30 meters long has been built.
The big ship is docked 200 meters away from the shore. If you are closer, you dare not go over. This is to prevent it from running aground.
A small boat was put down on top of the big ship, and all the goods were transported ashore through the small boat.
After wandering on the sea for more than three days, all the family heads who took the boat for the first time were all a little blue in the face. Of course, the main reason was that they were not used to it for the first time.
Five large ships, and more than a thousand people began to disembark one after another. Except for some technical workers who will be stationed here for long-term exploration, the rest are special force guards and construction workers.
A large amount of cement, steel bars and other construction equipment were transported on the big ship, as well as various tools to start building a factory here.
The shore was originally overgrown with weeds. Because it was close to the river, there were many puddles and other mud puddles. Fortunately, the first people who came here were instructed by Wang Xuan to set fire to all the weeds.
After setting up the fire isolation belt, put down the fire, and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats, and ants will burn out densely on the ground. After these things are burned to death, and after all the puddles and the like are filled in, the place can be considered ready for construction.
Safe place.
The houses in the small stronghold on the shore were all occupied by the heads of the aristocratic families brought by Wang Xuan. Fortunately, there were many people here this time, especially the craftsmen and equipment. There were many pre-made boards transported on the ship.
After on-site installation and assembly, simple wooden houses were built one by one.
By night, more than thirty stilted buildings were completed.
This kind of construction speed made those house owners dumbfounded.
In fact, in Wang Xuan's factory, weights and measures have been reunified long ago, and many inspection tools have been updated, such as vernier calipers.
These standard components are accurate to less than five millimeters, while the metal components are accurate to less than one millimeter, making it easy and convenient to assemble a house.
Everyone rested briefly for the night, and early the next morning, they took a dozen small boats and started to swim upstream under the guidance of the guide.
It took them three days to go upstream of the Zhuoshui River and get a brief look at the Taichung Basin. Even through simple observation, these people could tell that developing about one million acres of fertile farmland here would not be a problem at all.
After spending a day returning, the ship set off again. This time Wang Xuan took them to the Jianan Plain, and then continued south to visit the Pingtung Plain. These three developable arable lands were enough for these forty families to spend seven days.
Eight years.
Wang Xuan was too lazy to show them the two plains to the east. It was already a month later when the ship returned from Xiaoliuqiu to Fuzhou Port.
After getting off the boat and onto the dock, all the family owners breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the bustling dock, everyone felt that they had returned to a civilized country from a wild world.
However, everyone was very excited. If they had heard Wang Xuan introduce Xiaoliuqiu before and had no idea how much land could be developed and cultivated, after this month's trip, everyone had a good idea.
With the power of the major families now, it would take several years just to develop what we see before us, and it would cost a lot of energy and money. However, the benefits would also be astonishing. They are all unowned land. What exactly is that?
Who owns a piece of land? It’s not all a matter of Mr. Wang’s word!
