Chapter 79 Arrival (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
The so-called "new customers" are actually the upcoming Chinese laborers, or "new immigrants". The new immigrants who exchanged muskets, according to Zhu Xianhai's original idea, at most they would only get four or five thousand new immigrants. Alright, but in the simulator, more than [-] people came!

This number not only exceeded Zhu Xianhai's expectations, but also far exceeded what Nanhua could accept—there was not enough housing, especially not enough food.

In the last simulation, the arrival of a large number of new immigrants brought a series of problems to Nanhua, from public security issues to food issues, and even the fundamental reason why Zhu Xianhai did not have the energy to enter the fertile land on the north bank of the Rio Negro and the south bank of the Colorado River It is the immigration issue that distracts him too much.

But with the lessons learned in the simulator, the same mistake will definitely not be made again now.

Almost immediately after finishing the life simulator, Zhu Xianhai mobilized all his forces to build a new residential area—a new camp near Nanhua Village.

The buildings in the camp are the same as Nanhua, they are all made of wooden boards, simple wooden beams and frames, plus a layer of thin wooden boards to form the simplest houses, which are only used to shelter from the wind and rain, not even beds How much more spacious than the boat, anyway, they are used to it. For people who are used to the narrow space on the boat, there is at least a place for them to walk on the ground.

"My lord, is this place too narrow?"

Fang Zhanbo asked again.

"It's enough to live there, that is, a place to temporarily settle down."

Zhu Xianhai laughed.

"Our mission is to provide housing and food for 30000 people!"

"30000 people!"

Qian Deshan said in surprise.

"Will there be that many people?"

"Yeah, how could they exchange so many people, besides, how did so many people get here?"

Facing their surprise, Zhu Xianhai just smiled.

"Who knows? Let's prepare for the narrow use!"

In fact, even if it was Zhu Xianhai himself, he was very curious in his heart, wondering how Li Fugui and the others got so many people with such a small amount of things.

……

On February 1861, 2, after a 7-day voyage, the clipper ship "Anlis" finally sailed into Hangzhou Bay.

The moon hanging in the night made the top of the mizzen-mast glisten with silver, and the top of the foremast-sail was also covered with white flowers. Almost at the same time, the voice of waiting and watching shouted.

"Land—Look, it's land!"

In the next instant, there was a sound of running feet on the deck.

Li Fugui, who was resting in the cabin, heard people stumbling out of the sailor cabin, so he also hurried out of the cabin. Although he had a wooden prosthetic installed on his missing leg, he still couldn’t walk fast. When he came to the deck, it was already full of people.In addition to the foreign captain and sailor, he and Liu Kunpeng were also standing on the bow of the ship.

All the personnel are gathered there.In the northwest of the "Anlis", everyone saw a flat coast. Looking at the distant coast, almost everyone's expressions changed, with excitement and relief.

In fact, two days ago, they had already arrived in Hangzhou Bay, and then hid on an unnamed island,

This way, they need to avoid the merchant shipping route and sail along a new route to avoid other ships, especially warships from various countries. The crew on the ship already know the destination of their trip - Jiaxing .In a city occupied by Chinese rebels, if the merchant ships reach Jiaxing, each of them can get three times their salary.

"We have arrived!"

Looking at the yellow water below the bow, Captain Luke said a little excitedly.

This yellow seawater is the sediment washed from the Qiantang River, as long as they are willing, they will soon reach Hangzhou.

Thinking of the land in front of them, Li Fugui and the others seemed to be in a dream.

Finally home.

As long as you take one step, you are the land of your ancestors.

But what will be waiting for him on this land?

Years of war and death!
It is poverty and hunger!

"We, we're home..."

Before Liu Kunpeng finished speaking, Li Fugui said.

"Liu Xiucai, this is a nice home, but it's our ancestral home. Our home is now in Nanhua!"

"What Brother Li said is, what Brother Li said is..."

Liu Kunpeng said repeatedly.

Then he heard the captain's voice giving orders.Under the command of the captain, the "Pacific Ocean" is slowly driving along the route not far from the coast.

"Hey guys,"

Captain Luke leaned on the railing and looked at the sailors and said.

"Has any of you ever been to China?"

"Who has been to China? Marco Polo? Sir!"

Facing the laughter of the sailors, Luke said.

"I have been to Hong Kong before, but it was ruled by the British. Now, I am more curious about here..."

Luke said curiously.

What are Chinese cities like?
Of course, unlike the curious captain and sailors, what Li Fugui and the others care about, or the only thing they care about is when the ship will dock, how he should collude with the Taiping Army, and how to get the ship on board. Those goods are sold.

"Brother Li,"

Liu Kunpeng whispered aside,
"We have to try to raise the asking price as much as possible. After all, the boss said that what we want is people!"

people!
That is the purpose of their voyage this time. The reason why they took such a long time to come here is to change people!
After all, for Nanhai, the most important thing is people, not silver, even their boats contain tens of thousands of silver pesos.

"I know,"

Li Fugui nodded, and then glanced at Mir next to him. He is a black slave. Of course, his identity is now the head of the American company, but where is Liu Kunpeng?It is the interpreter of Taipan Mir.

It is definitely easier to deal with the government and the Taiping Army as a foreigner than as a Chinese.

Whether it's the Taiping Army or the government, they all hold foreigners high!

"At that time, when we see them, we will tell them directly why we are here. We don't want tea, raw silk, or cash. We want people!"

Liu Kunpeng's voice is not loud, and even when he is talking, he will look towards the land from time to time, he is looking forward to what is about to happen, of course, the same is true for other people, so everyone on board will now pay attention Putting it on the coast and on the sea, these people who live at sea know that danger often happens when they are about to reach their destination.

"Look, what is that..."
