"Mr. Master, these people are young people who volunteered to go to the New World, including students from the School of Medicine, Engineering, Economics, and Water Resources Department. They are confident in establishing new towns in North America."

Standing in front of Chu Yun were young people in their twenties. Some of them were old scholars who came from the Four Books and Five Classics, while others were ordinary young people who only knew a little Chinese characters. Later, after entering the Academy of Sciences, they had become specialists in different fields.

Building towns on the west coast of North America is not easy, and it takes almost everything from scratch, requiring all kinds of talents.

Previously, Chu Yun went to Nanyang to urge Changyi, Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao and others to capture the Siam Kingdom. The Oceania Expedition Team that was temporarily planned to be built before returning to the capital did not go through too strict selections, so Cheng Hong led the team to the ocean. This time, the expedition team heading to the west coast of North America had to be carefully selected.

This new expedition team did not directly select people from the army, but selected young people who volunteered to build towns from the Academy of Sciences. They were knowledgeable and passionate and not so utilitarian.

Dozens of young people were neatly lined up in two rows, with their eyes full of admiration for Chu Yun. They did not expect that they could see the supreme ruler of the empire. Moreover, Chu Yun was also the founder of the Academy of Sciences and the object that all students of the Academy of Sciences admired.

"You are all talents with specific knowledge. You should have stayed on the local continent and contributed to industrial construction, but now you have a more meaningful task. When you go to the New World, knowledge is second, and the most important thing is loyalty! It is not loyalty to me, but loyalty to China! When you arrive at the towns established by the New World, you may develop into one or several provinces in the future, but it is also our provinces in China, and you must remember this all the time."

Chu Yun gave a lecture in front of them, instilling the idea of ​​unification for these descendants who might go to the west coast of North America to establish strongholds in the future. The colonies of North America cannot be independent like America is from Britain, but should be used as a province in the future.

"Mr. Master, we voluntarily went to the New World to build towns for China. We swear that no matter what we are in the New World in the future, we will always be loyal to China!" One of the students in the engineering department shouted.

"Always be loyal to China!" Other students shouted with exclamation.

Chu Yun nodded with satisfaction. The starting point of these people was different from that of the British who immigrated to America at that time. They had a sense of national mission and were closer to the Old Continent.

"Mr. Military Master, can I take the liberty to ask for your signature?" said one of the women carefully.

Chu Yun was stunned for a moment before answering: "If I don't dislike my sloppy handwriting..."

"My name is Li Yizhu. I have been in the Agricultural College for four years. I have always heard of the Military Master. I didn't expect to meet you like this." The woman handed Chu Yun a new version of "The Wealth of Nations" that added to Keynesianism. A considerable part of the content of this new book was written by Chu Yun, so in addition to Adam Smith, the author of this book also has Chu Yun's name, which was regarded as a holy book by some students of the Academy of Sciences.

Although Chu Yun's handwriting was very sloppy, Li Yizhu still felt like she was treasured. When the other students saw Chu Yun approachable, they couldn't help but go up to ask for the original work.

Chu Yun felt speechless inside. It seemed that it didn't matter how the handwriting was written. What was important was identity, and it was obviously a lecture, but it seemed like a signature meeting.

"I actually got the handwriting of the military leader!" Li Yizhu was surprised and wanted to talk to Chu Yun again, Chu Yun was already surrounded by enthusiastic students.

"For the safety of the military leader, please come one by one!" Yu Cheng was afraid that someone would attack Chu Yun, so he quickly stopped them with other guards.

Chu Yun had met the young talents selected, and went to meet the soldiers, workers, and farmers. If the people collected by the Academy of Sciences were to provide engineers, doctors, judges, scientists to the Jiuzhou Army's stronghold in North America, then soldiers, workers, and farmers were the main body of building towns.

"There is an estimated 500 expedition team to the west coast of North America, including 37 students and 50 soldiers in the Academy of Sciences, and the rest are workers and farmers. Due to the long distance, the number of workers and farmers also includes their families. In order to encourage them to go to the other side of the ocean to open up, we are not only allowed to take their families, but also provide them with subsidies every month, and agree that the land that will be reclaimed will not be taxed for the first five years." The official responsible for selecting workers and farmers introduced the current situation to Chu Yun.

The people of China, especially farmers, have strong local feelings, and the idea of ​​relocation is deeply rooted. Unless you have to have no food to eat, it will be difficult to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, 20,000 miles away, to reclaim land. In order to recruit workers and farmers, the government promised many favorable conditions and recruited a group of workers and farmers.

"Try to provide them with good conditions. There is still a primitive tribe there. I don't know if there are any other unseen epidemics. Even if you have to consider your affairs in advance, the storm in the Pacific is not a joke." Chu Yun knew how dangerous it was to cross the Pacific.

"All the materials needed to build a stronghold are being prepared, such as herbs, shovels, shovels, pickled food, salt, bedding, etc., and ships need to be arranged. Five hundred people and sailors are likely to reach nearly one thousand people. If there are supplies, there will be more than ten large sailboats." The official introduced other information to Chu Yun.

"Don't be too anxious. It will take a long time for us to develop the other side of the ocean. Make as much preparation as possible to send a team." Chu Yun began to prepare for the adventure team to the San Francisco area, but the size of the fleet of one thousand people is already exaggerated. In comparison, Magellan's Global Expedition Fleet only has more than 200 crew members.

Another advantage is that with the Chinese mainland as its backer, the expedition team can receive continuous supplies.

"They also need to be organized and trained. It is expected that they will take a large sailing boat from Tianjin Wei in half a year, go to Yokohama Port for replenishment, and then sail along the ocean current to the west coast of North America." The prepared officials confirmed the departure time to Chu Yun.

"Yes." Chu Yun was not opposed to such an arrangement. Half a year was enough for the expedition team to run in and make sufficient preparations.
