"I see no problem with this arrangement. If you need me to do anything, you can ask me."
Emperor Hongzhi kept listening, and after thinking about it, he felt that it would definitely be okay for Liu Jin to arrange manpower.
"Well, that's it. Let's discuss the other details later."
Du Mingen nodded, and then said: "Mr. Liu, we need proper navigation to go to Golden Continent. I wonder if you have written down the detailed navigation?"
"Yes, of course."
Liu Jin nodded. It was originally agreed that Liu Jin would be responsible for this navigation, and Liu Jin was naturally very concerned about it.
"I have already written the detailed navigation, and my student Lin Shuhong will go to the Golden Continent with the fleet this time. Last year, I have been imparting relevant knowledge to him. As long as he is here, I will be sure.
Bigger.”
"That's good, that's good~"
"Young Master Liu's disciples are going to the Golden Continent in person. We must be very sure this time. They will be able to reach the Golden Continent smoothly and bring back what we need."
When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately felt more at ease. In this era, ethics and education are very important. The relationship between master and disciple is almost the same as that between father and son. Since Liu Jin asked his disciples to go to Golden Continent together, it means that Liu Jin is also very concerned about this.
I have confidence, and I feel reassured now.
"Everything is difficult to say. After all, this Golden Continent is too far away from our Ming Dynasty, and the sea is no more dangerous than the land... What we can do is to make as complete preparations as possible, and what we plan will be determined by the people.
"
Liu Jin smiled and shook his head slightly.
The next few people continued to discuss.
"I think this Fu Chuan still needs some modifications and some maintenance first. It is better not to go to Fu Chuan that is too old. The bottom of the boat also needs to be cleaned and repainted. In addition, the boat's bottom needs to be cleaned and repainted.
The sails also need to be changed..."
"I think we can also conduct some training for this fleet first. For example, let the fleet sail at a closer distance first. We can go to North Korea and Japan for a walk first to adapt to life at sea and become familiar with the operations on the ship."
"In addition, this crew also needs systematic training. At that time, Tianjin can also learn from the night class system here in Xishan, and these crew members can be gathered together for training, specifically training on the experience and methods of surviving in the sea."
"I have also specially made some tools here to measure distances, perform positioning at sea, and find directions..."
"Also, you must buy some soybeans. If you walk on the sea for a long time and cannot eat fresh vegetables and fruits, people will suffer from a special disease. Using these soybeans to sprout can solve this problem."
"..."
Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi, Du Mingen, Liu Jian and others discussed in detail the matter of the fleet going to sea, from ships to crews, from equipment to supplies, etc., everything was discussed carefully first...
In the evening, as the night gets darker, it is time to get off work here in Xishan. Tian Erniu is preparing to go to the cafeteria to have a delicious meal, and then go to the bathhouse to take a hot bath, and then prepares to bring his own
The children go to the auditorium for night classes.
"Er Niu, hurry up and call Zhao Houhou, Dahu and Shaxiong to the auditorium No. 1. Mr. Liu has something to say."
At this time, someone hurriedly came over and informed.
"In Auditorium No. 1, Mr. Liu has something important to say~"
As soon as Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately became energetic. The fatigue caused by a day's physical labor disappeared completely at once, and he hurriedly went to find Zhao Houhou, Dahu and Silly Bear.
When the four people gathered together and arrived at Auditorium 1, they discovered that the place was already overcrowded. The auditorium that could only seat a few hundred people was now packed with thousands of people.
"Er Niu, Big Tiger, Silly Bear, Zhao Houhou, you are here~"
"Haha, Dazhu, Baldhead, you are here too~"
"Isn't that right? It's not just us here. Look, most of the brothers we took classes with are also here."
As soon as they arrived at the auditorium and took a casual look, Tian Erniu and the others quickly met acquaintances. They were acquaintances who went to Xishan together last year and attended classes together. They naturally started chatting when they met.
"Does anyone know what Mr. Liu wants us to come here for?"
"I don't know, it must be a good thing for Mr. Liu to find us."
"That means Mr. Liu is the best to us."
Everyone was talking and discussing, and not long after, Liu Jin walked in with a smile on his face, and the entire auditorium fell silent instantly. Everyone looked at Liu Jin quietly, waiting for his next words.
"We are all old people in Xishan. We have been here in Xishan for at least two months. I think everyone should have heard about the Golden Continent."
Liu Jin looked at the crowded crowd in the auditorium and said with a smile: "Now there is an opportunity. I and others have organized a fleet to go to the Golden Continent, which requires about 900 people."
"It takes thousands of miles to get to the Golden Continent, and it requires cutting through waves in the sea. It is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may be buried in the sea and never come back."
"So going to Huangjinzhou is completely voluntary. Those who are interested in going to Huangjinzhou can go to Sun Xin to sign up."
Liu Jin habitually said something ugly first, and there was no need to say too much nonsense, because Liu Jin had said it many times in the night class before, and all the old people in Xishan understood it.
"Although going to the Golden Continent is extremely dangerous, the rewards are also very rich. This Golden Continent is full of gold and wealth, so I and my partners have discussed it. 10% of the rewards from going to the Golden Continent will be given to others.
The crew of the ship.”
"In addition, each crew member who goes to Golden Continent can receive a one-time settlement fee of 50 taels of silver. After returning successfully, regardless of the income, they can also receive another 50 taels of silver as a reward."
"I know that some of you are military households, farmers' households, craftsmen's households, etc. If there are restrictions on household service, for example, you used to be military households, farmers' households, craftsmen's households, etc., as long as you are willing to go to Huanghuangzhou, my partner
He also promised me that his household registration can be modified and he will be separated from the original household registration from now on."
Then Liu Jin also talked about the benefits of going to Huangjin Continent this time. As long as he is willing to go to Huangjin Continent, he can get 50 taels of silver as a settlement fee, and there will be a reward of 50 taels of silver if he returns successfully. If there is any profit, everyone can share it.
10% profit.
This is calculated as the minimum income of 100 taels of silver. The purchasing power of silver is very strong. 100 taels of silver is enough to buy a pretty good yard here in the capital.
Many people were very excited when they heard this, especially Tian Erniu and Dahu. They looked at each other and saw blazing flames in each other's eyes.
"The opportunity has come~ The opportunity has come, my chance to stand up has come."
Tian Erniu kept shouting in his heart. Ever since he took night classes in Xishan, he was no longer the confused Tian Erniu. He wanted to change his own destiny and the destiny of his descendants.
But even though he can read and write, and knows some astronomy and geography, the restrictions of the household service system have destined him to be a shabby military household for generations. Now I heard Liu Jin say that he can change as long as he is willing to go to Golden Continent.
With his household registration, he immediately knew that the opportunity to change his destiny had finally come.
