Valley Emperor

When Lv Zhenjiang's fleet entered the port one after another, although the berths in the port of South Africa City had been expanded, several wooden plank roads were temporarily built, but it was a serious problem for many merchant ships traveling to and from South Africa City. Insufficient.

Therefore, even though many ships entered the port, they did not actually dock directly, but anchored in a fixed area in the port, and only some ships were able to dock.

What kind of ships, of course, those immigration ships and naval warships.

Navy warships, because the Navy has its own pier, which is no longer in the same area as the pier where ordinary merchant ships dock.

And those migrant ships naturally need to dock at the first time. These migrants have been floating on the sea for a full half a year from the country. Although it is said that when they do not pass through important transit ports, these migrants will be disembarked. Take a rest for a day or two, but the long journey is really uncomfortable.

Even though this was an immigration activity officially organized by the Empire, the treatment in all aspects was relatively good. It was impossible to be the same as contemporary Europeans going to America and other places. A small boat was crowded with people, and the conditions in all aspects were very bad.

This kind of official immigration action organized by the Imperial Immigration and Reclamation Division is often the result of the Immigration and Reclamation Division organizing ships, which are the so-called immigration ships.

Some of these migrant ships are ordinary merchant ships, but there are also passenger ships of domestic shipping companies. These ships are hired by the Immigration and Reclamation Division. The migrants take these ships, not only without spending money to buy tickets, but also in a living environment. be guaranteed.

Because of the large number of immigrants, the Immigration and Reclamation Division even ordered a number of immigrant ships, all of which were rebuilt from large-tonnage passenger ships, capable of transporting a large number of immigrants to the colonies.

However, the number of ships owned by the Immigration and Reclamation Division is still relatively small. The transportation ships required for such large-scale immigration activities are often the ships of shipping companies or trading companies that need to be requisitioned.

Naturally, it is impossible for the merchant ships of Renjia Trading Company to specially transport immigrants. They need to carry a large amount of goods, but even a large ship, even if it is fully loaded with goods, can still carry a certain number of passengers.

In recent years, most of the immigrants who went to the major colonies actually traveled by these merchant ships.

Contemporary ocean-going merchant ships not only carry out overseas trade, but also undertake the task of transporting passengers, and most of them are armed merchant ships, and can even participate in sea battles when necessary.

Otherwise, how to say, contemporary ocean-going merchant ships are multi-purpose ships.

In order to ensure the safety of the immigrants, after the fleet entered the port, the immigrant ships docked first, and then under the guidance of the local overseas consular officials, they entered the urban area for a rest period.

In order to welcome the arrival of immigrants, local officials and the garrison have been busy for more than half a year, and a large number of simple houses have already been built for the immigrants to settle down temporarily.

Because the current situation in South Africa is still relatively complicated, these migrants are temporarily resettled in urban areas and not in migrant villages and towns outside the city.

The immigrant villages and towns outside the city are reserved for the second and third batches of subsequent immigrants.

This group of immigrants will currently live in the city of Fortress, leaving the city to work during the day and returning to the city at night.

Anyway, most of the areas in the north outside of South Africa today are vast plains, which are very suitable for settlement. Immigrants can directly work on the fields after leaving the city gate.

When the fleet arranged for the immigrants to board the ship, Lu Zhenjiang and the other sea merchants could only honestly continue to wait for the ship, but although it was still floating on the sea, it was still in the harbor, and there was no wind and waves. , the ship will not dangle like it does when sailing in the deep sea.

At this time, Lu Zhenjiang also had a rare personality. He and a few colleagues set up a small square table on the deck, and a few of them drank small wine while basking in the sunshine of the southern hemisphere.

At this time, it was November, and it was already winter in the northern hemisphere, but in the southern hemisphere, it was midsummer.

This kind of change made Lu Zhenjiang feel that the world is full of wonders.

Although I have seen it in the book before, the climate in the northern and southern hemispheres is very strange, or even the opposite, but I only saw it in the book before, but now I really feel it.

It feels a little surprising.

If you are still in your hometown in Taiyuan and have not gone out, you can see the scenery today.

But thinking about his hometown of Taiyuan, Lu Zhenjiang was thinking about his old mother again, and he didn't know whether her old man could eat well and sleep well.

Before going to sea at the beginning of the year, he also received a letter from his family. In the letter, his second brother said that everything was fine at home, and he also told himself not to worry. He would take good care of his mother and let him do things outside with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhenjiang felt a little sorry for his second brother.

There are four brothers and sisters in the Lu family. Lu Zhenjiang is the eldest son, and there are two younger brothers and a younger sister.

Lv Zhenjiang's younger sister married out last year, his second brother is seventeen years old this year, and his third brother is only thirteen years old. He is currently studying at the county primary school.

When Lu Zhenjiang was studying, his younger brother was also at the age of enlightenment, but given the economic situation of the Lu family at that time, it was absolutely impossible for his second son to study.

Therefore, in the end, only Lu Zhenjiang continued to study in the county primary school, and his younger brother did not even go to the village's kindergarten for enlightenment.

However, his younger brother is also a high-spirited person. Although he has not been to school, he has followed Lu Zhenjiang since he was a child. Lu Zhenjiang, the eldest brother, acts as a teacher and educates his younger brother.

It's just such a half-baked family education, although his brother can read and write basics, but it's only limited to this.

When Lu's father died in an accident, not only did the Lu family lose their pillar of support, but after the accident, Lu's father's treatment also cost a lot of money, and in the end no one was rescued.

In addition, the house that had been in disrepair for a long time was also collapsed, and the family had no fixed place to live. At that time, the situation of the Lu family was extremely embarrassing.

Although Lv Zhenjiang dropped out of school in time and took over the important task of supporting his family, Lv Zhenjiang was still young at that time, and the salary of doing paperwork in the commercial bank in the county town was not high. An old mother and three younger siblings are waiting for him to support him, and it is not enough to rely on his salary alone.

Although there are not many fields at home, they cannot be abandoned, so they can only rely on their mother and younger brothers and sisters to farm at home. Although the income from farming is not high, it can at least solve the problem of food for the family.

After four years like this, his younger brother also changed from a twelve-year-old boy to a sixteen-year-old boy.

His skin is dark now, and his palms are covered with calluses like his father back then. Whether he is doing things or talking, he does not look like a sixteen-year-old boy, but a twenty-six-year-old adult.

On the other hand, it was Lu Zhenjiang. Although he dropped out of school to work, he still worked as a clerk in the county commercial firm. He was not exposed to the wind and rain. After a few years, he still looked like a thin and clean scholar.

After repaying the debt, repairing the house, the younger sister married, the second younger brother grew up, the third younger brother also studied steadily, and after initially stabilizing the family, Lu Zhenjiang was no longer willing to be trapped in a small remote county, he went to see In the distant world mentioned in the book, find your ideal.

After his younger brother learned of Lu Zhenjiang's thoughts, he did not say anything against or make Lu Zhenjiang have any concerns, just like his father Lu back then.

Father Lu was the same way back then. When Lu Zhenjiang said he wanted to go to school when he was young, Father Lu nodded and let him go to school and study hard. Even if he came home from school, he would not let Lu Zhenjiang work and let him concentrate on studying. .

From then on, Father Lu went out early every day and returned late. Every year when the farming was busy, he always wanted to finish the farm work as soon as possible, and then go to work in the city to make money while others were still doing farm work at home and there was a shortage of work in the city.

Father Lu, a traditional peasant father on the land of China, used his life's strength to barely provide for Lu Zhenjiang's study expenses, and provided a scholar for the Lu family, even if it was just a scholar with a primary school diploma.

Now Lu Zhenjiang's second brother, like his father, continues to support Lu Zhenjiang's dream!

This is not only Lu Zhenjiang's dream, but also the dream of the Lu family for two generations: to rise from the bottom of society!

Whenever he thinks of his father and second brother, Lu Zhenjiang will feel a sense of guilt.

And this sense of guilt prompted him to work harder outside. When he found that he could not go further by relying on ordinary work while working in Shanghai, he chose to enter the Weilan Trading Company without hesitation, and then went to sea.

He wants to be more successful, and then earn more money, so that his mother can enjoy his old age, and he can let his brother get rid of his father's fate and live a different life~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Become a sailor and go to sea, which has been It allowed him to initially achieve his goal. Since he became a crew member of Weilan Trading Company, his monthly salary has been more than 30 yuan, and when he completed this African trade and returned to the mainland smoothly, he would still be paid. There is a huge bonus. I don't know how much the bonus is, but according to several other colleagues, it is at least a few hundred yuan.

Most of the overseas trading companies in the empire are not stingy when it comes to treating employees, and they have enough money. Otherwise, how can they recruit enough crew to go overseas.

That's the job of pinning your head on your trouser pocket. Every time you go out to sea, it's unknown whether you can come back.

Big risk means big reward.

Lv Zhenjiang's trip to the sea this time is expected to last about a year. The fixed salary alone will be more than 300 yuan. With bonuses, it is estimated that he can get 500 or 600 yuan.
