Coincidentally, Takashi Toshio didn't use the fortune boat.

He had only used a small boat, and the large fortune ship was too strong for him.

Long Junxiong has used Fujian fishing boats, grabbed eight boats, and used Kohaya and Seki boats in Japan, and Seki is probably the largest ship he has ever steered.

There were 20 to 40 sailors and 10 to 30 armed pirates on the ship, but the boat was much smaller than the lucky boat. Because the shape of the Japanese ship is similar to that of the ancient building ship, the power is basically used by the oars and sails, although the carrying force is more, the sea efficiency is very low.

Anyway, there is a person who can drive a boat around him, even if he has never used the Fu boat, he knows how to operate it roughly, the sail of the sail, the anchor of the anchor, and the ship of the ship is in a hurry, and it sways towards the shore.

Except for Long Junxiong, who was at the helm, all the soldiers were novices, some had used small oared boats, and some had never even made boats, so they lost the easy control of Chinese hard sails, and if they had to change to the soft sails of Western ships, they would probably have to swim back.

Even so, after the lucky boat entered the river, Long Junxiong also swam for a while, all novices, for fear of knocking over the five new clippers parked on the riverside, only he was good at water, and other soldiers who swam to the shore every twenty zhang and shouted to rest came to drive the clipper aside, and then returned to the boat and slowly lowered the sails, leaving the four-claw iron anchor far away.

Chen Mu, who was docked in a small boat, still looked back at the lucky boat with palpitations, with the arrival of this big guy on the sea, it was inevitable that the construction of the Xiangshan Thousand Households was ready to fly.

It's time to pick a place to build a water village.

"Wait for the two deputy thousand households to recruit troops back, Zhou County ordered to hook the flag army, and practice the thieves who first leveled Huangliangdu in March!"

The 4,000 acres of sea fields are not important, but the coastline is very important, and at least two hundred households are stationed.

To build a water village, it is time to put the hydraulic forging hammer on the agenda.

A few days after receiving the warship, Qingyuanwei sent a message over, Zhang Yongshou said that because of the rebellion, the imperial court changed the original idea of opening a port in Meiling, Zhao'an, and took the Yuegang of Zhangzhou Mansion as the place to open the port, which was Chen Mu's hometown, and they were preparing to choose sailors, and sent a message to let Chen Mu pay for it.

"Give people and pay."

To go out is to go out of sailors, and to pay is to go out of the boat.

Bai Yuanjie didn't care about the business going to sea, Zhang Yongshou was in charge of it, and the list sent was very powerful.

On the surface, it was the king of Qingyuan surnamed Dajia, but in fact, he was able to get a share, and the Bai family had one big boat and seven small boats, with more than 90 people; Zhang's three ships were sailed, with more than 60 people; Coupled with the four hundred households in Qingcheng, more than a dozen boats of all sizes and more than 200 people were put together.

It is mainly the three of them, Lao Bai accounts for the majority of 30%, gives each of them 20%, and the remaining 20% is 400 households.

Chen Ye has seven or eight hundred taels of silver, but the key is untrustworthy manpower.

It is easy for Qingyuan to get out, and the family members of Bai Yuanjie's barbarian camp are all ready-made sailors, but Chen Mu's situation here is different, although he also plans to recruit Tan people as an army, but it is impossible for someone to send him out to go to the ocean as soon as he comes.

But it didn't work if he didn't send someone to give out only silver, which gave him a headache.

"Brother Mu, don't let Shao Yong go, he has been the head of the ship, go back to his hometown to buy a few clippers, find some people from the past, and then find some people from the juniors in the clan, take a few family soldiers to protect the boat, it is not difficult to gather a hundred and ten people."

"Can there be so many people in the clan? The road is dangerous. ”

"It's not just the clan." Shao Tingda smiled and said, "There are many people who have gone to sea in my hometown, and it is not difficult to find people. ”

His family soldiers can pick five out, and the sea is very chaotic these days, and it is not a big problem to get a few little widows to go out with them, anyway, they can't turn the sky over if there are more problems.

It was the predetermined route to the sea that they sent, which made Chen Mu feel that Lao Bai also had capable people around him - from Yuegang to load grain, porcelain to Haojing, in his forbidden nitrate on the ship, and eastward Jilong Mountain exchanged grain, nitrate for silver and silk forbidden by the people in the Ming Dynasty, and sold the stolen goods obtained by the Japanese robbers to Sulu.

Jilongshan is Taiwan, and Sulu is Luzon Philippines.

Sure enough, how safe can you expect from a group of murderous Qiu Ba to lead the trade route?

Jilong Mountain is now the largest pirate island in East Asia, but all the famous pirate leaders are curled up there, Sulu is not a good place, there are now tens of thousands of Ming people, all of them are maritime merchants who ran over during the sea ban, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, they were also the identity of the Japanese Kou, so they did not dare to come back.

But this route also has huge profits, the route is not long for less than half a year, but whether it can come back after half a year is another matter.

If they come back, one trip is enough for them to eat for three or five years, and if they can't come back, they won't be able to come back.

The coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty was not too much of a problem, at least they had less to watch out for than others, but even if the coastal defense of the Ming army was excluded, this trade route was equally fatal.

The Portuguese, the pirates, the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, and the storm at sea, all of them will be killed.

"Try it, it's a risky thing to do, it's all outlaws, see who's afraid of whom!"

Chen Mu's words determined that dozens of people would take such a risk with their lives.

Chen Mu said to Shao Tingda: "It's not a hurry to go back to Yuegang, you go back to Qingyuan for me first, and send three hundred taels of silver over, which is our money to buy the boat." Go to Qingyuan and take a trip to Guangcheng and invite the shopkeeper Yan of the Drum Belly Building. ”

Last time, Shao Tingda bought him a lot of houses in Yuegang, as well as more than forty acres of land outside the city.

In the past, one acre of land was five or six taels, and Shangtian could be sold for ten taels, catching up with the Chenghai county town that had been burned in one book, and the land prices near the sea had fallen by three or four percent, and Shao Tingda only used one hundred and eighty taels to buy it.

As soon as the news of the opening of the port comes out this month, the price outside the city should rise, and it may be higher than in the past.

Chen Mu planned to take advantage of the opportunity of Shao Tingda to take Shao Yong back to recruit manpower, sell part of the land, and come back to buy food in Guangcheng.

The thousands of households in Xiangshan were short of grain, and Chen Mu promised to give the newly recruited Tan people three stone of grain per household, and when they arrived, there was a shortage of at least 1,000 stones, and the silver in his hand was not enough, and he had to add another three hundred taels.

He didn't plan to be idle for the rest of the land, and a few pieces of land were planned to be sent to Yuegang County to be used as a military camp and market division, so that Shao Tingda could have some relations.

If he still has some money left, he wants to open a restaurant in Yuegang, a very large restaurant.

The name has not yet been decided, but he hopes that in the future, people will not call the restaurant its name, but the Min Yue Guild Hall.

A person can't do things in this era, if it weren't for Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou, he might not have the ability to form a caravan to go to sea now, he needs more allies, whether political allies, military allies or economic allies.

Fujian and Guangdong maritime merchants are a good choice, they have courage and courage, and those who can survive have huge financial resources.

can gather these people around, the waves are surging, and he can change the direction of the tide of the times!
