Xu Qiuyue could feel that Lu Yuan was deliberately cultivating his own power.Lu Yuan began to dive pearls, but the price was very high, ten taels of silver each, which was obviously a loss-making business.But no matter how many pearls there are, Lu Yuan has not lost a copper plate.All are given at the price.It's just that the Pearl Pavilion, where the pearls were purchased, was behind the shops.Every time you come here, you need to pass through a series of shops, including restaurants, silk shops, and various grain and oil stores.As soon as the shopkeepers saw that it was coming out of the Pearl Pavilion, they rushed forward to sell the goods.In general, these people will spend at least a tithe.Lu Yuan also made a rule, that is, to sell pearls, there must be more than three people at a time to sell, the reason is that he is worried that he will encounter pirates on the road and rob him of this money.There are many people, how can people not be moved when they see their relatives and friends earning this white money.Naturally, they will also dig for pearls.And you invite people to go with you, you have earned so much silver, how can you not invite guests to dinner, no matter what, you have to eat and drink in the restaurant.Even the shops on this street have become prosperous shops.Everyone knows that Lu Yuan is doing a loss-making business, they don't know how long Lu Yuan will be in a loss-making business, they just want to seize this outlet and make more money.Not to mention those ordinary people, even the soldiers in the barracks were moved, and there were many people with good water characteristics who went to pearl diving by boat together.Liu Qun knew that Lu Yuan would definitely go pearl diving, and he had thought about how to stir up the people's hearts and let everyone protest against pearl diving.After all, the tragedy of a few years ago is still fresh in my mind.It's just that what Liu Qun didn't expect was that most of the pearl divers back then were dead, and those who were alive basically became pirates.Many people in Beicheng didn't know what happened back then.Although there are some people who know, the price of this pearl is too high.They couldn't believe that this pearl could be sold for so much silver.Beicheng has been poor for too long, and these people have suffered for too long, and they were reluctant to buy new clothes before, but now they are buying.I used to be reluctant to eat meat, but now I buy it.In the past, I was reluctant to put oil in stir-frying, but now it is also oil.As long as the pearls are picked, the family is basically full of big fish and meat.When I was pearling, I also encountered a lot of seafood, which was cooked with oil and spices, not to mention how fragrant it was.For the first time, Heng Niang brought back two large pieces of sea fish meat from her mother's house.It was also the first time she had a fragrant meal at her mother's house.Everyone was happy, and her brother was lucky enough to dig up two pearls in the deep sea, which was twenty taels of silver!
The family's house is going to be rebuilt, and her nephews have no place to live, so they must have one room for one person, otherwise they will have no place to live in the future.It's just that Heng Niang heard that there are sea monsters in Beihai, and she wants her brother to be careful, and it's good to just work on the construction site, it's better to be safe.However, as soon as Heng Niang's words came out, the whole family was unhappy, and Heng Niang didn't dare to say it anymore.It's still hard to work on the construction site, the sun is big, there is a lot of work, and you can't rest all day.Working from day to night, not to mention how tired you are, except for eating better, there is no other benefit, and the salary is even lower.Heng Niang's family has land at home, and she can grow some food.Moreover, the county government also distributed sweet potato seeds, which are sweet and delicious as long as they are boiled in water.And when grilled over a fire, it tastes more fragrant and tastes even better.So everyone is willing to grow sweet potatoes.And when you go pearl diving in the sea, once you find it, it will be ten taels of silver, and you can lie at home for a year.You don't have to work all day to eat.Pearl diving is not just pearl diving, but it can also be fished, the price of this sea fish is not expensive, but it is still more profitable than going to build roads and work as coolies.And the soy sauce is fragrant, this sea fish is dipped in soy sauce, and the taste is no worse than the food on the construction site.If you are not so poor that you have no choice but to work on the construction site, you are generally unwilling to work.As soon as this pearl diving work was known, few people rushed to work on the construction site.Who would have imagined that a month ago, Beicheng was still lifeless.But now, it has become lively, and the streets are bustling with activity.And people from many nearby places have moved to Beicheng.········· Liu Qun was entangled for a long time.Liu Qun eventually joined the pearl diving with his soldiers.This money can be earned by others, why can't he earn it, and the soldiers under him also have to earn money to support their families.Ten taels of silver and a pearl were enough for him to go on an adventure.He can dive pearls until Lu Yuan goes bankrupt, if Lu Yuan is unwilling to spend ten taels of silver later, he will definitely not let Lu Yuan go.This time there are many more people going to the North Sea for pearl diving, which has not been pearl diving for several years, so it is now easy to find a lot of broken mussel shells on the North Sea shore, and there are many beautiful shells and coral reefs.What made everyone so excited that it was hard to control the pearls in the shells that had been swept ashore by the waves, they were like piles of glittering treasures, which made everyone crazy.Ten taels of silver for a pearl, twenty taels of silver can build an adobe house, and if you have more, you can even marry a wife and come back to live a good life, not to mention going to the deep sea, you can also go fishing to make money!
The pearls on the North Sea are almost gone.Liu Qun chose to go to sea, and the people under him were all very water-based.Everyone looked at the calm sea with joy, and they were all looking forward to a better life in the future after having silver.Liu Qun had picked pearls before, and he was very experienced, and soon, he ordered the big boats to stop here, and one by one they got on the small boats, jumped into the sea, like a fish, looking for pearls in the deep sea.Suddenly, a scream pierced the sky - "Help...... everyone looked for their reputation, only to see a huge fish rushing from a distance.The big fish opened its bloody mouth and pounced in the direction of Liu Qun, and was about to bite Liu Qun, but Liu Qun suddenly kicked on the boat, jumped up, and the big fish hit the hull of the boat."
Bang-" The hull of the ship shook, and Liu Qun stood firm, but the others in the cabin fell to the ground one after another due to inertia, letting out a wail."
Ah......"
Liu Qun's face turned pale, and he asked his henchman, "How can there be a sea monster!"
Didn't you tell that you had a good deal with that side?
Why do sea monsters still appear?
”Liu Qun's henchmen trembled with fright: "Subordinates, subordinates don't know, ......"
Hearing this, Liu Qun snorted coldly: "Hmph!
I can't spare you when I get back!
”Then he turned his head to look at the sea.
