Wu Zhen's ancestral home is Zhili, and he came to Nyasaland to work alone from the Qing State in March 02, and then decided to settle in Nyasaland, and at the end of 02, he took his wife and children to Nyasaland.

Wu Zhen works in the aquatic company under the Nyasaland Agricultural Company, and his daily task is to go fishing in Lake Nyasa, Wu Zhen's wife works in Xiaosi's canning factory, and the four children are all in school except for the youngest child, who is still in the nursery, and Wu Zhen is very satisfied with his life in Nyasaland.

So in mid-April last year, Wu Zhen mailed five pounds to his younger brother who was still in Qingguo, and sent a telegram to his younger brother Wu Wei, hoping that his brother's family could also come to Nyasaland.

At the beginning of this year, Wu Wei's family also came to Nyasaland, and Wu Zhen's family was finally reunited, and Wu Wei was also arranged to work in an aquatic company.

In Nyasaland, Wu Zhen has been working for 18 months, so now Wu Zhen is paid, although the salary is only three pounds a month, but it is enough for Wu Zhen's family to live a worry-free life.

Every Saturday, Wu Zhen would go to the store owned by the aquatic company, buy a snack for the children, buy himself a pot of potato vodka produced in Johannesburg, and then call Wu Wei to have a drink with some acquaintances.

You don't have to buy snacks, Wu Zhen's wife works in a canning factory, so there is no shortage of canned food at Wu Zhen's home, which is the welfare of the canning factory.

Wu Zhen himself every day when he gets off work, he can also bring more than a dozen small whitebait fish from Nyasa Lake, whether it is steamed or stewed, it tastes good, according to the convention, the last net before the end of work every day is the welfare of employees, whether they eat it themselves or sell it, the management of the aquatic company does not care.

Wu Zhen's home is in the aquatic company community on the outskirts of Little Rock, because his family is in Nyasaland, so Wu Zhen is eligible for a single-family house allocated by the aquatic company, although the house also has to be paid, but compared with the collective dormitory, the conditions are obviously much better, so Wu Zhen's home has become a fixed meeting place for old friends.

At eight o'clock in the evening, when the street lights are on, Wu Zhen's house is lively, the men are drinking and chatting in the living room, the women are busy in the kitchen, and the children are running around outside the house, and they always have to play until they are exhausted.

After three rounds of drinking, the topic inevitably shifted to the land redemption just announced by the management committee.

"I've already thought about it, I'm going to sign up tomorrow, buy fifty acres first, one acre is six acres, fifty acres is three hundred acres, and I don't charge rent for farming here, and I can't think of such a good thing before." Wu Zhen has ideals, and Wu Zhen must not have thought that he would become a landlord one day in his life.

"Brother, I'll vouch for you, if you want to buy it, you can buy a hundred." Wu Wei fully agrees with Wu Zhen's decision, that is, Wu Wei is not qualified, otherwise Wu Wei will not let go of this opportunity.

The rules of the management committee are that each family can buy a maximum of 100 acres of land, and if the money is not enough, they can take out a loan from the RAND Bank, and it is estimated that the vast majority of people will have to take out a loan to buy land.

"Okay, if you buy 100 acres, our family will have 50 acres, and 300 acres of land is enough to plant, and the old landlord's house in our Zhuangzi will also have 300 acres of land." Wu Zhen is not a cautious character, otherwise he would not dare to immigrate to Nyasaland.

In this era, home-based immigration undoubtedly requires courage, and several colleagues Wu Zhen knows are still alone after two years in Nyasaland, and these people are now not eligible to buy farms.

There are such people among Wu Zhen's friends, Niu Tiansu also came to Nyasaland with Wu Zhen, and now he is also eligible for an annual salary of 36 pounds, but Niu Tiansu's family is still in Qingguo, Niu Tiansu eats and lives in the aquatic company every day, and every month's salary will be sent back to Qingguo.

It is said that with the salary sent back by Niu Tiansu, Niu Tiansu's family also bought dozens of acres of land in the Qing Kingdom, and now they can be regarded as worry-free.

It's not right, the Qing country's worry-free food and clothing is not the same thing as Nyasaland's worry-free food and clothing.

In recent years, the Qing Dynasty has been plagued by military disasters for many years, coupled with natural and man-made disasters, even if it is a landlord, the quality of life is much worse than before, and the "old landlord" mentioned by Wu Zhen just now is because of a little surplus grain at home that caused trouble, and was killed by robbers overnight the year before last.

Nyasaland doesn't care about it, there is no problem in security, Nyasaland has been at war in the past two years, but the war has never burned to the territory of Nyasaland, but every war, Nyasaland is proud of it, agricultural companies, aquatic companies and canning factories have all made a lot of benefits, which can be regarded as the whole people sharing the war dividends, so this worry-free food and clothing is the real worry-free food and clothing.

"Or Lao Wu, you have the vision, you took your sister-in-law and children to Nyasaland early, and my wife and children came three months late, and now you have to wait in line for qualifications." Wu Zhen's colleague Qian Jiang patted his thigh and expressed regret, Wu Zhen's family came to Nyasaland at the end of 02, and Qian Jiang's family came to Nyasaland at the beginning of 03, and the fate of the two families was decided in just three months.

"Don't worry, old money, the first batch of people who are qualified to buy land, maybe some people will not buy it, maybe you will be qualified at that time, and the announcement of the committee also said, this is only the first time, there will be a chance in the future, wait slowly, don't worry." Wu Zhen comforted him continuously, picked up the cup and let the wine, if there is anything that cannot be solved by a glass of wine, then two glasses.

At this time, Wu Wei's youngest daughter staggered over with a plate of potato chips, Wu Zhen laughed and took the plate, and stuffed a fried whitebait into the mouth of the little girl with a thirsty face.

The little girl happily shouted "Thank you, uncle", and then went out to show off with her friends, and the fat dog under the table probably smelled the smell, and followed the little girl out with her head and tail.

"You guys, you just earned two dollars to burn, and you haven't seen the tricks yet? In the past, we had to pay off the debts for a long time, which can be said to be reasonable, but now we finally have some money, and the top has begun to do what land redemption, to put it bluntly, let us return the money, continue to work for the white, this acre of land will cost a pound, buy a hundred acres of land, it will cost a hundred pounds, maybe three or five years will have to work in vain, and then another three or five years, and I don't know what moths are on it, so it is better to be careful, don't be sold and help the number of money. Niu Tiansu does not approve of buying land in Nyasaland, no matter how good Nyasaland is, it is thousands of miles away from home, Niu Tiansu has now made up his mind to make money in Nyasaland, and then buy a house and land in his hometown, and when Niu Tiansu is old, he will return to his hometown to enjoy happiness.

Wu Zhen and Qian Jiang exchanged tacit looks, Niu Tiansu is good at everything, but he speaks in a bit of a weird tone of yin and yang, for which Niu Tiansu has been dealt with by the aquatic company, but Niu Tiansu still does not change.

In addition to this, Niu Tiansu people are actually quite good, colleagues who need help or something, Niu Tiansu never shirks, plus Wu Zhen and Niu Tiansu are old friends, so they haven't turned their faces until now.

"Brother Niu, the acre we are talking about is an acre, but it is different from the acre of our hometown, how much land does my hometown buy in the ocean?" Wu Wei and Niu Tiansu don't have the same relationship as Wu Zhen and Niu Tiansu, so Wu Wei is not polite when he talks.

"The account can't be calculated like this, I heard that if you go to that Rhodesia, the land will be given away for nothing, do you dare to ask for it?" Niu Tiansu still insists that the money is in his pocket, and the land in Nyasaland is cheap, but in Niu Tiansu's opinion, it is still too expensive.

"Hehe, that is, my eldest brother is in Nyasaland, otherwise I will really go to Rhodesia, and when I pay off the immigration fees, if our land in Nyasaland is sold out, I will really go to Rhodesia, and I can take the train." Wu Wei is also a lively person, the conditions in Rhodesia are indeed better than those in Nyasaland, but Rhodesia is full of foreign devils, and it is not as good as Nyasaland that all the people are Chinese, so even if Xiao Si is hyping up in Nyasaland, there are still not many people who are willing to go to Rhodesia.

In order to attract the population, Xiao Si can be regarded as doing everything, if the people of Nyasaland are willing to go to Rhodesia, then Rhodesia will pay for the new immigrants to pay off their debts, and also help the new immigrants settle in Rhodesia, and distribute land for free.

Of course, the land allocated to Rhodesia is certainly not developed, and land reclamation is not an easy job, so there are very few people willing to go to Rhodesia.

"Hehe, what's so good about the train, this thing crosses the mountains and opens the mountains, crosses the water and builds bridges, the feng shui is destroyed by the train, I heard that the locomotive is filled with boiling water, what is there to sit on?" Niu Tiansu will not be easily convinced.

About this feng shui, it is really a wonderful thing, there have been people in Nyasaland who tried to use the compass to see feng shui, but the compass has lost its effect, so there are rumors in Nyasaland that the feng shui here has been completely destroyed, and the train is naturally the culprit.

"Haha, Brother Niu, then you mean, you are smarter than our lord!" Wu Wei pricked without pain.

"Smart or not, I dare not say, the lord is now British, not from our Qing Dynasty, I have nothing to compare with the lord-" Niu Tiansu fell into the pit with a big grin.

"Old Niu, you can't talk nonsense-" Wu Zhen's face was obviously very dissatisfied, there was no taboo in chatting and talking, but there were some things that really couldn't be said.

To put it mildly, don't forget the well diggers, if it weren't for Roque's efforts, the Chinese in Nyasaland would not have a good life today, they can't pick up a bowl to eat, put down their chopsticks and scold their mother, the police in Nyasaland are not given in vain, if Niu Tiansu's words are spread today, Wu Zhen, Wu Wei, and Qianjiang don't want to have a good life.

"What else can I talk about? The title of the lord was originally given by the British-" Niu Tiansu pulled his neck and raised the bar.

"You've drunk too much, you've drunk too much—"

"I'll just say drink less!"

Wu Zhen and Qian Jiang were both playing round, only Wu Wei sneered.
