Chapter 1852 The Paradise of Other Generations, My Purgatory

Merchant ships with a displacement of 200 tonnes set sail to sea, and the ships led by Xu Jiqian, Xu Jiming, Xu Weiping and Xu Weifan were ships where the Xu family members were located.

In a spacious and comfortable cabin, Xu Jiming took a snuff bottle and then said, "Brother, you said before that we still have a chance. Do you settle down and wait for the fighter plane when you arrive at Liang Dao Mansion?"

As soon as these words were said, Xu Weifan frowned, while Xu Weiping had a little more hope and expectation.

Xu Jiqian cursed, "What a lie, our chance is to go to Liang Dao Mansion, try to communicate with the Liu family to supplement enough personnel, and then stay away from Feiyun Island and find a place to settle down again."

After pausing, he cursed in a low voice, "Since the Li family has already gained the fate of immortality, we cannot expect to be enemies with him. Maybe you will say that the Li family is not flying fast, and can only blow up a dozen people and dozens of people at a time. If the arrows, guns and cannons are denser, you can kill him... But is it useless to kill him? He is just the ability to be rewarded by a real immortal."

"The immortal who rewarded him with extraordinary means is truly invincible, and he can only look up to..."

As he was talking, Xu Jiqian couldn't help but choke and cried.

The immortal is not open to his eyes, so why did he choose a guy like Li Yuanshu? Moreover, the immortal's position is actually on the side of ordinary people who are ignorant of big words.

No matter how you look at it, only talented people like them who are not only outstanding in appearance but also master various knowledge and theories are worthy of attention from immortals, right?

More than 90,000 ordinary people in Xuecheng Prefecture City, more than 90% of them are ignorant of big characters, rude in appearance, rude in character, etc., talking about external connotations. Who like them, who don’t throw those ordinary people away hundreds of miles away?

But now, the fact is that the Xu family has suffered heavy losses!

The home business, various land, shops, etc. that have been working hard for hundreds of years have disappeared all of a sudden. Do you think it is easy? Are land and shops and other things taken every year, waiting for those small households to suffer disaster and be reclaimed at a low price?

This is not easy. Not only is it easy for small households to be affected for a long time, but they take the initiative to create disasters. It requires expenses and attention to the impact and image.

This is even more true in the thousands of acres of farmland on the coastal plain outside the city!

It took more than a hundred years for many generations to accumulate a proud family business, and it was completely gone in one go.

Gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, painting, silk, etc., were not all of these wealth, and those who were left in Xuecheng were gone.

These are not the biggest losses, the biggest losses are population!

In fact, the gentry are very clear that population resources are the resources that deserve attention and care. Even if you have no money, no land, and no industry, if you have hundreds or thousands of people who are directed to work, relying solely on the right way of labor, you will not be able to buy a large foundation in a long time.

The premise is that those hundreds or thousands of people under your command only need to eat the most basic food and not have other salaries.

In modern science and technology society, even an ordinary graduate, who is poor, has no family background, no connections, and has no ability, can find a job with a monthly salary of 2,000 yuan... But if you have hundreds of people, and you will only need to eat steamed buns and rice to fill your fill? After a month, moving bricks can make you rich.

The Xu family has accumulated over hundreds of years. When they first heard Li Wangjiang bringing two or three hundred armored elites to cause trouble, they gave an order and in an incense stick, they pulled up two or three hundred armored strong men! Seven or eighty-eighth of them were all sold slaves.

You can imagine how much human resources the huge Xu family has!

But in the Xu family manor, two or three hundred young and middle-aged men are raised at any time, so what about women like maids and maids? How many older household servants are there?

Outside the Xu Manor Manor, how many servants are there in their shops? How many servants are there in the Xu family caravan and in the salt field?

But now, that's almost gone.

It’s not all, it’s almost because the ones who are currently helping the Xu family control this big ship are the Xu family’s housekeepers for many years, as well as the housekeeper’s children, grandchildren and nephews.

When they arrived at the Xu family, their housekeepers, their children and nephews lived much better than ordinary Qi civilians. For example, the shops in charge of the internal and external houses in charge of the business, etc., etc., all followed them.

In the Xu family's offshore caravan, those who could have been the captain, chief mate, sailor chief and other positions were also helping to control other ships to run away.

But the Xu family is still in a state of serious manpower shortage. Otherwise, they would not have only driven three more than 200 tons of ships to sea at this moment. The Xu family itself has more than a dozen ships.

More than a dozen 200-ton merchant ships are far from comparable to the size of more than a dozen large ships of nearly 1,000 tons in the Xiao family, but it is not that easy for you to run all such "small boats".

Going to Liang Dao Mansion to recruit people, and through the power of the former old business partner Liu's family, we can get it done as soon as possible and stay away as soon as possible. This is Xu Jiqian's decision in his heart.

After this, Xu Weifan smiled bitterly, "My father is right. Li Yuanshu is not scary. What is scary is the real immortal behind him. In myths and legends, all kinds of immortals, gods and demons can destroy the world. Where is Li Yuanshu's tornado that blows dozens of people so weak?"

"A real immortal is afraid that it can create dozens and hundreds of Li Yuanshu just by waving his hand."

"We can only give in. What I am worried about now is that when we arrive at Liang Dao Mansion, it will be easy for us to recruit people. Yesterday, when we were sorting out our property, there were probably merchants from Liang Dao Mansion who had already sent the news back there."

"As long as you are not too stupid, the gentry over there will make a smart enough choice. Li Yuanshu is not something that can be resisted by a single mansion. Maybe the Liu family and others have already recruited personnel in advance and sold off their industries and ran away."

Speaking of this, Xu Weifan complained in a little desperate manner, "By the way, since the immortal has intervened in human affairs and promoted Li Yuanshu in Xuecheng, can we still have a happy land in Lu?"

The immortal interfered in human affairs and promoted Li Yuanshu, making Xue Cheng a paradise for ordinary people, but this pair of gentry and wealthy families was purgatory.

The paradise they yearn for was a beautiful era in the past when the people allowed them to exploit and squeeze, marrow and bone swallowing.

Even if they escaped from Yunzhou, what if the immortals trained the second and third Li Yuanshu in other prefectures, what should they do? Where should they escape?

There are not enough personnel now, and they even have to worry about whether the sea route will be safe and whether it will be suddenly robbed by pirates.
