Chapter 18 The Flying Boat of the Noble Family

If he didn't come to Taixia, Zhang Yangdi didn't believe that there was such a thing in this world. Thirty years ago, when a strange metal called "air floating gold" was excavated from the underground world, this magical The flying boat appeared, but only Taixia can see this kind of thing, and even in Taixia, only a very small number of people can own this kind of thing. In the sky of Taixia, airships are still the main force of air traffic. This kind of floating flying boat is rarely seen at ordinary times. In the past few months when Zhang Yang came to Taixia, even today, he only saw it twice.

The people who got off the boat were very crowded. Some people who got off the boat were crowded because they looked up at the sky and didn't pay attention to the road under their feet. , the people around him hurriedly picked him up from the water again.

"That is a floating spaceship made of floating gold..."

When a group of people who had just disembarked looked up at the strange object in the sky, a dark brown sailor who was fixing the anchor chain explained to those people in proficient Chinese.

Ah, is that thing available and how much does it cost? "The middle-aged man with a big belly who was surrounded by people looked at that thing and asked with his eyes shining. The expression on his face was completely like "Master, I am not short of money".

"Of course you can buy it..." The sailor has seen a lot of upstarts who came to Taixia for the first time to avoid the jihad. When he said this, the expression on the sailor's face was a little teasing. My lord, only a few families like the Qin family have the ability to buy a floating flying state. The Qin family is very famous, and you will know it soon. If you feel that your wealth can be compared with If the Qin family is comparable, maybe they can also buy such a floating flying state!"

"Ah, how much money is the Qin family you mentioned?" Sensing the teasing in the sailor's tone, the middle-aged man who was surrounded by people asked slightly dissatisfied.

"The Qin family is a prominent family in Yingzhou. It has been rooted here for more than forty generations. The Qin family has a nickname, Qin Baicheng!"

"Qin Baicheng?" The man repeated that his Chinese was only proficient just now, his tone was still a little jerky, and he was still a little unfamiliar with some specific words in Chinese, "What does this mean? "

"This means that the Qin family is a family with hundreds of cities. If you have such a family background, you can also buy a floating flying boat!"

"A family has... hundreds of... cities... cities?" The man who asked the question was so frightened that he couldn't even speak fluently.

"Well, it's about the same. Although it's a bit exaggerated, I heard that there are still seventy or eighty Qin family cities, and dozens of large-scale towns. The total number of these cities and towns is definitely over a hundred, so the Qin family also has The name Qin Baicheng!" When talking about the wealth of the Qin family, even the sailor said with respect and envy in his tone, "I teach you to be good, in Taixia, if your family's wealth is less than one city, And the tax you collect from the city every year is less than the old one. If you have ten thousand gold coins, don’t say that you are rich, otherwise you will be ridiculed and regarded as aboriginals who have never seen the world.”

Hearing the sailor's words, the man's arrogance disappeared in an instant, and he didn't even dare to ask 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 The group of people left, only the little girl was still looking up at the sky.

Zhang Yang, who was listening to the conversation just now, also smiled. Before coming to Taixia, these people had a superior life.

Many people can be considered rich in the place where they originally lived, but the so-called rich is also relative. When they come to Taixia, the standard of so-called rich will exceed the imagination of ordinary people. Just in Yingzhou, there are many families that own cities. Taixia City is divided into official city and private city. The official city is run by the government and court of Taixia, while private city belongs to individuals or families. Among the cities in Taixia, the number of private cities accounted for at least two-thirds.

Then Qin Baicheng's nickname is well-known in Yingzhou, and Zhang Yang heard it from 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 a history of operating in Yingzhou for more than 700 years. It is the dedication of this generation that has led to the family business of the Qin family today. In other places, the foundation of the Qin family is like a dynasty without a world, but in Taixia, the Qin family is just a local prominent family.

The laws of Taixia guarantee the sanctity of private property. According to the laws of Taixia, as long as you build a private city in a place, that private city is your personal property, and you can own that private city forever. taxation rights, formulate taxation policies to obtain "tax profits", and you can also recruit military guards for your private city...

In your private city, you can collect taxes however you want. Taixia’s law has no restrictions on this, and even protects your right. Free migration rights of the slave class population, if your city does not have enough conditions and attractiveness for people to come to your private city to do business and settle down, your private city will eventually be just an empty city; you can raise as many military masters as you want, too Xia's law has no restrictions on this, and even encourages rich and powerful families to raise warrior masters, do business with swords, and establish military power to expand the frontier. .

Under such circumstances, the rich and famous families of Taixia and the real rich people all pointed to building the city, and regarded building the city as the best legacy to bequeath to future generations.

In Taixia, there is a saying that the common people keep their houses, and the wealthy families leave the city. If the house is established for a hundred years, the city will last forever.

After coming to Taixia for several months, with the understanding of Taixia, Zhang Yang's ambition was slowly stimulated. 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. Others can build cities and leave the world behind, so that the future generations will be blessed with rich clothes and jade food, and the whole family will prosper. Can't create a foundation in this Taixia.

At about noon, Zhang Yang finally saw the Anqing, guided by a pilot boat, slowly approaching the pier here. In Huaiyuan County, the Anqing was a large ship, but when it arrived here, the Anqing became a small boat.

As soon as the Anqing came to a stop, the ladder on the ship was lowered, and the people on the Anqing, who had been bumping at sea for nearly ten months, rushed down.

"Old Mei... the people who got off the boat were all very excited when they saw Zhang Yang—some even shed tears at once, and finally arrived in Taixia, so they don't have to worry anymore.

Well, everyone finally arrived safely. The sea has been bumpy for so long. Let's disembark and rest for two days to recover. I have arranged for everyone's residence. We will discuss the next things in a few days! "Seeing that the key members of Jinwu Trading Company and their family members have arrived, Zhang Yang also heaved a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as these people arrive, he will have some available helpers, and it will be much easier to do things. , a group of people from the Weiyi subcontinent came to the unfamiliar Taixia. Only by sticking together can we overcome difficulties together, and these people will also be more loyal to themselves.

"Boss, we've been tossing around at sea for many days and we're going crazy. When we can reinstall those machines, we just need to find a few more people and straighten out the raw material channels. Our Golden Crow Airship Manufacturing Company promises to start production immediately." Airship!" An engineer under Zhang Yang's father suggested very positively, 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, those who came to Taixia were overwhelmed by the prosperity of Taixia. What these people were most afraid of was that ordinary people would come The most fearful thing in a strange place is that you can't find a place where you can show your value, and you can't find your place in the new environment. "There is no rush for the factory to resume work. The situation here in Taixia is somewhat different from that in Huaiyuan County. There are many things that have not been cleared up yet, so I just want to tell you one thing, as long as you are willing to continue to follow me, and continue to serve the Golden Crow Merchant Group and our Zhang family, then as long as I can still have a bite to eat, I will never give up. We will not let everyone go hungry, and we, the Golden Crow Merchant 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 like a leader. Just a few short sentences made everyone's hearts settle down.

This time, there are more than four people under Zhang Yang who came from Huaiyuan County. Including the family members of these people, old and young, there are a total of more than 40 passengers on the Anqing, and the proportion of family members is a bit high. At this time, it can be said that it is hard to find a ticket to leave the Weiyi subcontinent. Almost all the people who can come have brought their relatives, and the few bachelors under his command actually came with them when they came this time. A bunch of people, with beautiful wives, after careful questioning, I found out that since I found out that these guys can bring their families to Taixia, there are almost an endless stream of people who introduce marriages for them in Huaiyuan County, and there are many self-recommendations Before boarding the boat, these guys fell into Ruanrou Township one by one, and finally had to bring their wife, father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle, uncle, and sister-in-law to Taixia together.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish. For such a situation, Zhang Yang doesn’t want to delve into whether there is anything tricky in it. At this moment, countless people want to leave the Weiyi subcontinent, and a ticket to leave the Weiyi subcontinent is enough to squeeze people’s heads. Just like my mother said, at this time, save as many people as you can, and there is no need to delve into it.

The berth of the Anqing at the Fuhai Port Wharf requires 10 gold coins every day. This price is not cheap, but it is not the time to save money. After completing the relevant procedures at the port, a few garrisons are arranged on the Anqing. Zhang Yang took those people and left Fuhai Port.

Just like the shock of Zhang Yang's first visit to Fuhai Port, sitting in the traffic train at the port, looking at this more than 70 kilometers long port and the giant ships of over one million tons docked in the port, this Taixia All the people who came here for the first time were deeply shocked by the bustling moment.

Just over ten kilometers away from the port area of ​​Fuhai Port, Zhang Yang booked a large hotel in a relatively quiet place. First, he settled these people in the hotel, rested for two days, and got used to Yingzhou first. Case. It's impossible to rest and get used to it. When those people got off the boat, they were elated, 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 motion sickness and seasickness when they are in a car or a boat. After being bumpy at sea for too long, they suddenly come to a stable land. Some people's bodies cannot adapt to this change at once, and they will also experience short-term discomfort. In the current situation, many old seamen have almost experienced such a test.

When he came to the Grand Hotel, after having a meal with everyone on land that he hadn’t eaten in ten months, he comforted them a bit and let those people have a good rest, Zhang Yang left the hotel by car.

Sitting in the black car, on the way home, Zhang Yang took out a thick copy of "Tai Xia Lu" that he put on the car and read it.

To understand a place, the best and fastest way is to understand the laws of a place. In the entire Taixia law, there is only one "Taixia Law" with more than 10,000 characters. Laws, Civil Laws, Commercial Laws, and Criminal Laws regulate the operation of the entire huge Eastern Empire, and are the highest codes of the entire Taixia.

The authority of "Taixia Law" can be seen from one place. The last revision of "Taixia Law" was many years ago. The content of twenty-eight characters clearly stipulates the maritime liens of maritime merchants in the overlapping parts of "Min Law" and "Shang Law" in "Tai Xia Law". Since then, for many years, "Tai Xia Law" "There is no increase or decrease of a word, and the whole Taixia is flourishing and becoming more and more powerful.

Just half an hour later, a manor covering an area of ​​more than 20 mu appeared in front of the black car Zhang Yang was riding in. Seeing the car coming, two Shining warriors guarding the gate of the manor took the manor The door opened and the car drove in.

Just as Zhang Yang got off the car at the door, he saw a few maids running around in the manor, very busy, and the atmosphere in the whole manor seemed a little tense.

"Aunt Sun, what happened?" Seeing an old man who came to Taixia with their family, Zhang Yang asked quickly.

"Ah, Eldest Young Master, you are back. Second Young Master's three wives are about to give birth!"

"Ah, now?"

"Who says it's not? The three wives broke their amniotic fluid within half an hour just after noon today. The three little guys either didn't come, or they came together. What a coincidence..."

After listening to Aunt Sun's words, Zhang Yang hurriedly walked towards the inner house in three steps at a time.
