Chapter 164: Sailing, Sea Fishing

The warship is more than 30 meters long, with three floors, two masts, a strong guardrail, an iron sheet on the bow, and a cannon, resolutely like a castle on the sea.

When sailing along the Pearl River into the estuary, looking at the boundless sea, people feel a sense of insignificance.

But I don't know if Lao Zhu saw this vast ocean and had a kind of fear, so he chose to implement the sea ban, so that Daming was isolated from this sea full of unknowns.

At the mouth of the sea, there were many ships moored, and they quickly converged. Someone waved a flag of different colors at the bow of the ship, and the ship moved according to the command of the flag, and soon sailed in a line to the northeast.

The coastline of Daming is an outer line, so the travel between the two places is often in the northeast or southwest direction.

This fleet consisted of combat ships and supply ships, and the warships sailed at the forefront, mainly small and medium-sized, including two-masted gunboats, Cangshan ships, and Haicang ships.

Lin Haoran and other big boats followed behind the warship and were heavily protected.

When night falls, the fleet rests.

You can't anchor in the middle of the ocean, you have to go near the sea or near an island. On the route from Guangdong to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, these sailors naturally already have detailed charts, so they don't have to worry about not being able to find a place to anchor.

In the evening, it anchored in a bay with clear water and crescent-shaped seagulls feeding on the soft sand. The boats were still lined up, with small boats on guard.

Although it is said to be a warning, the Daming Sailor is prestigious, and he has not tasted defeat so far, and no pirate who is not long-sighted dares to fight their ideas. Moreover, pirates and pirates are after goods and money, and they will never do such a thankless foolish.

Lin Haoran and his group lived on the second floor, but because the room was limited, a room for four people was arranged. As for the retinue with him, he didn't even have a bed.

After a few days of sailing, the freshness of everyone has long passed, and the long lonely journey has begun.

With Xie Yuan's identity alone, it is naturally difficult for Lin Haoran to become the leader of this people-lifting group. But he is not only famous in the literary world, but also his mentor Yin Tai favors him, so the most unruly Guangzhou Fuju also respects him, and he is the head.

Previously, there were regional divisions in western Guangdong, eastern Guangdong and central Guangdong, but these barriers all disappeared at this time, and were connected by the affectionate word "fellow villagers".

This time I went to Beijing thousands of miles away, and it is inevitable that we need to support each other, so we cherish this friendship. What's more, they will all be in the officialdom in the future, and they need to take care of each other, so that they can survive in the officialdom.

Especially the current court, the relationship between the same department and the township party is the most important.

Like Xu Jie, the second assistant of the dynasty, he was originally from Songjiang Prefecture, but under the pretext of avoiding the Japanese invaders, he transferred his household registration registered in the Ministry of Officials from Nanzhili to Jiangxi, and followed Yan Song to become a fellow villager and a member of the Jiangxi Township Party.

It is precisely because of this that these people have given up their previous prejudices and naturally become the Guangdong Township Party. These days, we gather almost every day to drink and have fun together, and to meet friends.

Lin Haoran quickly got acquainted with everyone and found that this group of lifters was very interesting. There are real nerds, there are chic sons, and there are talented people.

But not everyone is greedy for fun, and many people have been involved in Wenshu from the moment they got on the boat.

Although there are still four months before the exam, apart from the time it takes to take the exam, there is not much time for them to really prepare for the exam quietly. Therefore, many lifters seized the time and devoted themselves to preparing for the exam.

Although he is promoted in the examination, he is already equivalent to squeezing into the ruling class, and he can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life. But if you want to live a luxurious life like "Golden House, Yan Ruyu", you still need to work harder.

At that time, thousands of people from the two capitals and thirteen provinces will compete for the 300 jinshi places, which is also a competition no less than the township examination.

Chen Qingshu, who was in the same room with Lin Haoran, was such a hard-working scholar, who almost didn't attend much of the party, preferring to hide in the room alone and work hard to warm up his books.

Of course, they will no longer be locked in the house all day, and will also take some time to meet and talk with friends.

Since the examination is conducted by 18 examiners, the problem of insufficient time for the township examination will no longer exist in the examination, so the examination papers of the three examinations will be read carefully, and the policy of the next five times has become important.

The special examiner is a member of the imperial court, and his vision and vision are relatively high, and he may also be aware of the disadvantages of the eight-share scholar, so it is inevitable that he will be biased towards the strategy of the scholar.

It is precisely in this way that when it comes to the level of the examination, it is important to write the eight-strand essay well, and the strategy theory must also start to prepare, especially the most important temple examination, which only examines the strategy theory.

When these people sit together, they are talking about current political issues, and naturally they will inevitably discuss the hottest issue of the Japanese invaders.

Lin Haoran paid special attention to it, and found that too many of them supported the policies of the imperial court, moving the people along the coast inward, concentrating on annihilating the Japanese at sea, etc.

"Meat eaters despise and fail to plan far!"

Jiang Ning, who was in the same room as Lin Haoran, snorted coldly at this kind of remark, but he waved his fan and snorted coldly, not getting up to those piles of people, faintly revealing a sense of arrogance.

For this kind of atmosphere of discussion, Lin Haoran also doesn't like it very much. Although these people are the most knowledgeable people in the Ming Dynasty, some views are indeed very naïve, or can only be read from the book.

When the boat docked in a certain bay, Lin Haoran took the three lifters in the same room to the deck, planning to go fishing and let the subordinates move out of the barbecue grill.

At sunset, the waves sparkle and the occasional fish leap out of the water, and in the distance, seagulls soar in the afterglow.

Lin Haoran skewered the prepared fish on the bait, and then threw it neatly into the sea, ready to wait for the fish to take the bait.

"Boss, how do you get this?" Yang Futian was helpless against the fishing gear, and his fat face showed a flattering smile.

Lin Haoran was a little speechless, this product is already a lifter, but he can't even do simple things like fishing. But he didn't refuse, helping him adjust the buoy and string the bait.

Fishing is a profession that pays attention to human character, especially this kind of sea fishing, which pays great attention to luck.

At this time, Lin Haoran suddenly missed the girl of the tiger girl again. If it was that girl, she probably wouldn't have to worry about dinner, and that girl would have hung up the rod to get the fish a long time ago.

To his frustration, although he was the first to start fishing, his character did not seem to be very good. The first person to catch a fish was Ge Jiangning, the son of Chaozhou Mansion, a personable and angry young man.
