"Mr. Xi's head!"

"Admiral Yang!"

"Hahaha!"

When Xi Junmai saw Yang Qiwa on the dock, they both laughed happily.

The feeling of meeting old friends in a foreign country is still very different.

As the first crew member to follow the East China Sea fishery, Yang Qiwa met most of Li Kuan’s confidants, and Xi Junmai was no exception.

Although the relationship between them may not be a confidant, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that they are friends.

"This time, I'm going to cause trouble for you! I didn't expect that these Indians actually had so much gold, which was beyond my imagination."

Wang Youcai stood up and spoke without any pain in his back, and he was still behaved when he took advantage of it.

Fortunately, at this moment, there were no people from Kanchipuram City here, otherwise they would have vomited old blood.

"You're welcome. I want to help you with this kind of busyness several times every year. Tomorrow I personally take the fleet and send you back to Chang'an. Just take this opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to report to His Highness the King of Chu to see if the scale of the Navy of the Puluo Zhong Shibo can be further expanded and a squadron is stationed in the port of Qiwang."

Puluo Zhongcheng has been developing for many years and has been on track.

At the same time, the situation in Nanyang was basically controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

The one who shoulders this responsibility is the Puluo Zhong Shibo Navy.

Although the Tang Dynasty began to march towards Australia and America in the past two years, judging from the current situation, neither Australia nor America, there are any decent countries.

On the contrary, there are various countries along the way, and some of them are very extraordinary.

Therefore, Yang Qiwa felt that the Puluo Zhongshibo Navy needed to further expand its influence in the West and strive to make the West a sea area controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

To achieve this goal, more warships, more supply ports, and more seamen are needed.

All of these can only be achieved after reporting to Li Kuan.

"Then I'm really not polite! This time it's important, so I'll use the public equipment for private use. At that time, the Maritime Bureau will definitely be able to collect the Maritime Bureau when the Maritime Bureau closes the Maritime Bureau."

All goods returned from overseas must be paid at least 10% of the market tax.

This rule has now been implemented relatively well.

On the one hand, 10% of the maritime tax was not very exaggerated in this era. On the other hand, the maritime naval army wiped out pirates and patrolled at sea all year round, which was also a great contribution to the development of maritime trade.

Therefore, most merchants still declare and pay market tax consciously.

Of course, some people have to be sneaky, and after being caught, they will wait to go to Australia to dig gold mines.

"Although the right to use the market tax has been transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, His Highness the King of Chu has agreed with His Majesty that 30% of the market tax will be used to develop the navy every year. This time I heard that you have plundered more than one million taels of gold in Tianzhu. It seems that the scale of my Tang Dynasty navy will double."

As the admiral of the Navy of Puluo Zhongshibo, Yang Qiwa naturally hoped that the court would continue to pay attention to the construction of the Navy.

This time he would come to Qiwanggang from Puluo, to a certain extent, to protect the development funds of the navy.

"Hehe, it's more than one million taels, it's estimated that it will exceed two million taels! I don't know if the scale of the navy can double, but I'm sure that in the next few years, the navy will definitely have ships and people, and I'm afraid that a bunch of sea boats will be built by then, and you won't have so many sailors to drive."

"Don't worry about this! I've already started to prepare early! As long as the ships are in place, the scale of our Puluo Zhong Maritime Marine will be doubled immediately!"

When Yang Qiwa was training navy personnel, he adopted the One Belt One approach, so that there would be at least one candidate in every key position.

In this way, the scale of the navy can be expanded immediately at critical moments.

...

Just when Yang Qiwa and Xi Junmai had a great chat at the King of Qi Port, Weishui Wharf also sent off batches of adventure ships one after another.

"Anan, if you regret it now, you still have time to jump into the Wei River and swim to the shore; but if you have no chance of going back alone except the sea."

On the deck of the "Master Chen Dali of the Estimated World", Wang Dali and Anan looked at the smaller and smaller docks, and in addition to being excited, they were also a little nervous.

Going to America thousands of miles away, even if the road goes smoothly, it will be at least the end of the year when you come back.

It is impossible to float on the sea for such a long time, and it is impossible to say that they are not worried at all.

However, Guanshishan Academy has now issued a very generous reward, and all crew members who bring back new species from overseas can have the right to naming the corresponding species.

Not only that, Guanshishan Academy will also provide various rewards based on the value of the species.

This reward starts with a thousand guan.

For high-value species like rubber trees, the Steam Engine Research Institute has even offered a reward, hoping that someone can bring a large number of tree species and rubber back, and the Steam Engine Research Institute will all acquire them at a high price.

As a result, all kinds of ships immediately began to prepare to go to sea.

Many nobles in Chang'an City also began to get ready.

I missed Japan before, and then missed Nanyang again.

I thought all the good things had been taken over, so they simply gave up.

Who knows that Australia and the Americas are emerging next.

Even the calmest person begins to be unable to sit still!

"Dali, don't you let me go to sea. Didn't you persuade me to go to sea? Why are you really going to sea now? You are starting to worry about this and that again."

"Anan, I am not my mother-in-law. I am worried that you will be hot-headed when you go to sea. I will regret it when you are on the sea. No matter how much you blame me, it will be useless."

Wang Dali naturally hopes that Anan can go out to sea with him so that everyone can take care of him.

But he doesn't want to make everyone unable to make friends because of going overseas.

"Don't worry! This time I went for the rubber tree. I've decided to pay the reward from Guanshishan Academy! You have heard that this rubber tree is most suitable for planting in Zhonghe Yazhou, Puluo. If you find rubber tree seeds, how much land we need to plant rubber trees, the court will provide us with free land. Such a good thing will be developed if you can encounter it once in your life.

I have had enough of my life as a boatman at Weishui Wharf. If we can succeed in going to sea this time, we can also become the owner of the rubber planting industry. At that time, we will have as many women as we want, and eat whatever we want. Isn’t it appropriate to take some risks for such a fairy life?"

Anan's words left Wang Dali with nothing to say.

In fact, the other crew members on the ship, who went to sea for the first time, basically had a dream similar to Anan.

I hope to become a superior person one day.

There are really not many such opportunities for ordinary people.

If you can have such an opportunity as long as you are willing to take risks, no matter what era you are in, countless people will rush forward.

Later generations of people from Shanglin, Guangxi went to Ghana, Africa to hunt for gold. Isn’t it equivalent to hanging your head on your pants, and you are at risk of your life at any time?

But as long as there is a chance, no one wants to give up.

"Okay, since you have thought about it, I have nothing to say! I have already inquired. It will take at least a few months from Chang'an City to Hope Port in South America. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we must solve the literacy problem well. Otherwise, if you become the owner of the rubber plantation, you will probably be cheated."

As one of the solutions to alleviate boredom on the ship, literacy, storytelling, and playing mahjong for crew members are all common pastimes.

Although Wang Dali is in his thirties, he still has a lot of ideas.

I know that I didn’t have the opportunity to study in my early years, but now I finally have the opportunity, so I naturally have to cherish it.

He knew that many of the rewards offered by Guanshishan Academy were recorded in some written records. If he could not read, relying solely on memory, it would be unlikely that he would discover these special creatures earlier than others.

Besides, it is definitely a very tempting thing for an ordinary person to recognize and snipe.

"Just recognize common words, but I am very interested in the calculation. When someone on board starts the calculation course, I have to listen carefully."

Anan is not as ambitious as Wang Dali, and he is more concerned about the more practical mathematics.

"You can do whatever you want, just don't play mahjong with them all day long! If you have that time, it's better to study the globe well. Or learn how to ride a boat with those sailors who have traveled across the sea!"

In this way, Wang Dali and Anan were chatting, and the ship slowly left Chang'an and headed towards Luoyang.

Then you will go straight to Yangzhou along the Grand Canal, enter the sea from there, and start your new expedition.

There are at least dozens of ships with similar trajectory to the "Master Chen Dali" now.

In addition, some ships have been prepared in Yangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places. In the 18th year of Zhenguan, the number of ships heading to the Americas is expected to exceed 50, or even exceed 100.

This is of great significance to the development of the American Americans of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, no matter how much wealth there is, it requires people to get it back.

...

In a natural port in North America, the waves gently slap the reefs, echoing the screams of seagulls.

The "Yang Benman" quietly docked in the port, with dozens of sailors on the ship watching over there bored.

As the team leader, Li Geng had already taken Chen Sier and his group to land.

Corn and sweet potatoes do not grow in the sea.

To find their traces, Li Geng must go ashore from time to time to search.

Now is the season of spring, and the search work is not so boring.

"Li Langjun, from the position on the globe, this area should be similar to the climate of Jiangnan Road, and it is a place suitable for human survival. If there are natives here, it is likely that they will grow some edible crops like the Incas in South America."

Chen Sier is very much looking forward to discovering corn or sweet potatoes, otherwise she will feel that her life is not perfect.

"We have been walking for a day after coming from the beach, but we still haven't seen anyone. This America is so big. Even if there are some natives living here, it will be very difficult for us to meet them just in time.

Besides, even if we meet natives, we will not be so lucky to meet a language genius with Li Yixi and others, and we will learn Tang language in a short time. At that time, there will definitely be a lot of problems waiting for us."

Li Geng is now relaxed and is not in a hurry to look for it for a while.
