- Zhang Yang wouldn't have believed that there was such a thing in the world unless he came to Taixia. Thirty years ago, when a strange metal called "empty floating gold" was excavated from the underground world, this magical The airship appeared, but this kind of thing can only be seen in Taixia, and even in Taixia, only a few people can own such a thing. In the sky of Taixia, airships are still the main force of air traffic. This kind of floating flying boat is usually rare to see. In the past few months since Zhang Yang came to Taixia, he has only seen it twice today.
The people disembarking from the boat were crowded. Some people who got off the boat were squeezing because they looked up at the sky and did not pay attention to the road under their feet. They accidentally fell from the embankment of the pier into the water and started shouting. , the people around him hurriedly picked him up from the water again.
"That is a floating airship made of floating gold"
Just as a group of people who had just disembarked looked up at the strange thing in the sky, a sailor with dark brown skin who got off the ship and was fixing the anchor chain explained to those people in skilled Chinese.
"Ah, can I buy that thing? How much does it cost?" A middle-aged man with a big belly, who was surrounded by people, looked at the thing and asked with bright eyes. The expression on his face was completely He looked like "I'm not short of money, uncle". "Ah, how much money does the Qin family you mentioned have?" I could feel the hint of teasing in the sailor's tone. The middle-aged man surrounded by others asked slightly unconvinced.
"The Qin family is a prominent family in Yingzhou. It has taken root here for more than forty generations. The Qin family has a nickname, Qin Baicheng!"
"Qin Baicheng?" The man said repeatedly. He has only just become proficient in speaking Chinese, and his tone is still a bit jerky. His understanding of some specific Chinese words is still somewhat unfamiliar, "What does this mean?"
"This means that the Qin family is a family with hundreds of cities. If you have such a family, you can also buy a floating spaceship!" "Well, almost, although it is a bit exaggerated. I heard that Qin There are still seventy or eighty cities in the family, and there are dozens of large-scale towns. The total number of these cities and towns is definitely over a hundred, so the Qin family is also called Qin Baicheng! "Speaking of the Qin family! When receiving these wealth, even the sailor's tone was filled with respect and envy. "I'll teach you a lesson. In Taixia, if your family's wealth is less than one city, and the tax you collect from the city is less than 1 million gold coins every year, you must not say that you are rich, otherwise you will be laughed at. , treating you as natives who have never seen the world.¡±
After listening to the sailor's words, the man's arrogance disappeared instantly. He didn't even dare to ask about the price of the floating airship. Seeing that the airship in the sky quickly disappeared into the sky, the man lowered his eyebrows and took it with him. The group of people left, and only the little girl kept looking towards the sky.
Zhang Yang, who was listening to the conversation just now, also smiled. Before coming to Taixia, these people all had a superior life. Many people were considered rich in the place where they originally lived, but the so-called wealth is also relative. , when you come to Taixia, the so-called wealth will exceed the imagination of ordinary people. Not to mention, in Yingzhou, there are many families who own cities. The city of Taixia is divided into Official cities and private cities. Official cities are run by Taixia's government and court, while private cities belong to individuals or families. Among the cities in Taixia, the number of private cities accounts for at least two-thirds.
The nickname of Qin Baicheng is quite famous in Yingzhou. Zhang Yanggang heard it mentioned by others when he first came to Yingzhou. A wealthy family like the Qin family in Yingzhou has a very deep foundation. The Qin family has been operating in Yingzhou for more than 700 years. It is the efforts of generations that have made the Qin family the family business it is today. , placed in other places, the Qin family's foundation is like an immortal dynasty, but in Taixia, the Qin family is just a local prominent family.
Taixia's law guarantees the sanctity of private property. According to Taixia's law, as long as you build a private city in a place, that private city will be your personal property, and you can own that private city forever. Taxation rights, formulate tax policies to obtain "tax profits", and you can also recruit military guards for your private city
In your private city, you can collect whatever taxes you want. Taixia's laws have no restrictions on this, and even protect your rights. But at the same time, Taixia's laws also guarantee that all non-taxes in Taixia are The slave class population has the right to move freely. If your city does not have enough conditions and attractions for people to come to your private city to do business and settle down, your private city will ultimately be just an empty city. You can raise as many military masters as you like, too. Xia's laws have no restrictions on this, and even encourage rich and wealthy families to raise warrior masters, do business with swords, and build martial arts to expand borders, but Taixia's laws prohibit the use of force to violate the law, bully the weak, and infringe on others.Things that are beneficial will never be tolerated.
Under such circumstances, Taixia's wealthy families and the truly wealthy people were all keen on building cities, and regarded city building as the best legacy to pass on to future generations.
There is a saying in Taixia - common people leave their houses and rich families leave their cities behind. The houses stand for a hundred years and the city lasts for eternity.
After coming to Taixia for a few months, Zhang Yang's ambition was slowly inspired as he got to know Taixia better. For all Chinese people, Taixia is a place full of hope. Here, there is an infinitely vast stage for you to realize your revenge and ideals in life. Other people can build a city and leave it behind, so that their descendants can be clothed, clothed, fed, and blessed for eternity, and the whole family can be prosperous and prosperous. Why can't we two brothers create a foundation in Taixia?
¡¡
At almost noon, Zhang Yang finally saw the Anqing slowly heading towards the dock here under the guidance of a pilot ship. In Huaiyuan County, the Anqing was a big ship, but it got here. The Anqing became a small boat.
The Anqing had just stopped. As soon as the ladder on the ship was lowered, people on board the Anqing, which had been bumpy at sea for nearly ten months, suddenly poured out.
"Boss" Those who got off the boat were very excited when they saw Zhang Yang. Some people even burst into tears. They finally arrived in Taixia and no longer had to worry.
"Okay, everyone has finally arrived safely. It has been bumpy on the sea for so long. Let's get off the ship and have a good rest for two days to recover. I have arranged your accommodation. In a few days, we will discuss the next things!" Look! The backbone of Jinwu Trading Company and their families had arrived, and Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what. As long as these people arrive, they will have some helpers available, and it will be much easier to do things. A group of people from the Weiyi subcontinent came to the unfamiliar Taixia, and only by staying together can they tide over the difficulties. These people will also be more loyal to themselves.
"Boss, we have been on the sea for more than 300 days and are almost going crazy. When can we install those machines again? We just need to find a few more people and straighten out the raw material channels. Our Jinwu Airship Manufacturing Company guarantees that it will be ready for production right away. Airship!" An engineer working for Zhang Yang's father suggested very actively, eager to show his value immediately.
Zhang Yang glanced at the engineer, and he knew very well what the engineer was thinking. At this time, these people who came to Taixia were shocked by the prosperity of Taixia. What these people feared most was that all ordinary people came to The biggest fear in a strange place is that you cannot find a place where you can show your value and find your place in the new environment. "There is no rush to resume work in the factory. The situation here in Taixia is a little different from that in Huaiyuan County. There are a lot of things that I haven't figured out yet. I just want to tell you one thing. As long as you are still willing to continue to work with me and continue to serve the Jinwu Business Group and our Zhang family, then as long as I can still have a bite to eat, I will definitely We will not let anyone go hungry, and our Golden Crow Business Group will never abandon anyone who is willing to stand with us through thick and thin!¡±¡
At this moment, Zhang Yang has become more and more leader-like. Just two short sentences made everyone feel calm.
There are more than 100 people under Zhang Yang who came from Huaiyuan County this time. Including their family members, old and young, there are more than 1,600 passengers on the Anqing. The proportion of family members is a bit high. It was hard to get a ticket to leave the Hawaiian subcontinent at that time. Almost all the people who could come brought their relatives and relatives, and the few bachelors he had originally come with came this time. People have beautiful wives. After asking carefully, they found out that since they knew that these guys could bring their families to Taixia, there was almost an endless stream of people introducing marriages for them in Huaiyuan County, and there were also many self-recommendations. Before boarding the ship, these guys fell into Wenrou Township one by one, and finally had to bring their wives, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law to Taixia with them.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Regarding this situation, Zhang Yang does not want to delve into whether there is anything fishy in it. At this moment, countless people want to leave the Hawaii subcontinent. A ticket to leave the Hawaii subcontinent is enough to make people squeeze their heads. Just like my mother said, at this time, just save as many people as you can, and there is no need to go into details.
The Anqing's berth at the Fuhai Port pier costs 180 gold coins per day. The price is not cheap, but now is not the time to save money. After completing the relevant procedures at the port, several guards were arranged on the Anqing. people, Zhang Yang took those people and left Fuhai Port.
Just like Zhang Yang's first visit to Fuhaiport, he was shocked. Sitting in the port's traffic train, looking at this more than 70 kilometers long port and the giant ships of more than one million tons docked in the port, it was too summer. The bustling moment brought everyone here for the first timeThe people inside were deeply shocked.
¡¡
More than ten kilometers away from the Fuhai Port area, Zhang Yang rented a large hotel in a relatively quiet place. He first settled these people in the hotel, rested for two days, and got used to it and got to know Yingzhou first. Case. This was impossible without rest and adaptation. Those people were very happy when they got off the ship, but not long after, many people began to feel dizzy and developed symptoms similar to seasickness. This is also a common problem, just like some people get carsick and seasick when riding in a car or boat. After being bumpy on the sea for too long, they suddenly come to a stable land. Some people's bodies cannot adapt to this change all of a sudden, and they may also experience temporary discomfort. Many old sailors have almost experienced such a situation.
Arriving at the hotel, after having a meal on land with everyone that they had not eaten for ten months, he comforted them for a while and asked those people to have a good rest, and then Zhang Yang left the hotel by car.
Sitting in the black car, on the way home, Zhang Yang took out a thick copy of "Taixia Law" that he had placed in the car and read it.
To understand a place, the best and fastest way is to understand the laws of a place. There is only one "Taixia Law" with more than 360,000 words in the laws of Taixia. The entire "Taixia Law" is divided into "Daxia Law" The four parts are "Laws", "Civil Laws", "Business Laws" and "Criminal Laws", which regulate the operation of the entire vast Eastern Empire and are the highest code of law in the entire Taixia.
The authority of "Taixia Code" can be seen from one place - the most recent revision of "Taixia Code" was more than 500 years ago, and that revision only added to the "Shang Code" of "Taixia Code" A twenty-eight-character article was written - clearly stipulating the maritime priority of maritime merchants in the overlapping parts of the "Civil Code" and the "Shang Code" in the Taixia Code. Since then, for more than 500 years, "Taixia Law" has never added or subtracted a word, and the entire Taixia is flourishing and becoming more and more powerful.
¡¡
Just half an hour later, a manor covering an area of ??about 20 acres appeared in front of the black car that Zhang Yang was riding in. Seeing the arrival of the car, the two Shining warriors guarding the door of the manor left the manor. The door opened and the car drove in.
As soon as Zhang Yang got off the car at the door, he saw several maids in the manor running around, very busy, and the atmosphere in the entire manor seemed a little tense.
"Aunt Sun, what happened?" Zhang Yang asked quickly when he saw an old man who came to Taixia with their family.
"Ah, eldest young master, you are back, the second young master's three wives are about to give birth!"
"Ah, now?"
"Who says it's not the case? The three ladies' waters broke within half an hour just after noon today. The three little guys either didn't come or came together. What a coincidence"
After listening to Aunt Sun's words, Zhang Yang hurriedly walked towards the inner house in three steps and two steps at a time. - Didn't finish reading?
