Chapter 545: Rushing to the Sea
"I don't know why my father-in-law came here this time?"
The eldest grandson Yujia has now become Zhao Yin's concubine, and the eldest grandson Wuji has become a veritable father-in-law.
This made the eldest grandson's family feel that Bei'er had face, and they didn't feel ashamed of being a concubine at all!
"Now that our ships in Jiangnan have been built, I just don't know when Your Majesty plans to go to sea?"
They built thirty ships this time, and there are many shipbuilders in Jiangnan, so the speed is naturally fast, but the quality cannot be compared with the imperial court.
After all, the craftsmen in Chang'an are the top!
"Don't worry!"
Zhao Yin picked up the teacup handed by Wu Meiniang and took a sip.
"Can you not be in a hurry? If Your Majesty doesn't go first, how dare we move the place? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji spread his hands out, expressing helplessness.
Although they can do without a map and explore it themselves, the time it will take will be enormous, and it is not known when they will find the spices.
"Although the warship has almost been built now, and it will be completed by the end of the year, the crew is still a long way off, and if you want to go to sea, you must first solve this problem!"
"Don't be afraid of this, I have already helped you find a teacher from the naval school, as long as the naval cadets come up, you can start training!"
The relationship between the eldest grandson Wuji is extended, so Zhao Yin gave him the task of finding a teacher.
"Well, the navy must be expanded, and there will be more time when they are needed in the future!"
If you only rely on the current navy and go to the Japanese country, you can't go anywhere else, and this will definitely not work!
Moreover, the sea situation is unpredictable, and the navy must have many skills.
"Then hurry up, we can't wait!"
Although the eldest grandson Wuji is Li Er's uncle, he is also afraid that Li Er will give him small shoes.
"Tomorrow, let Yujia write a recruitment notice and log in to the most conspicuous place!"
Even if the eldest grandson Wuji didn't look for him today, he was ready to do so.
Because now Datang has the strength to sweep the world, including overseas.
"How many troops are you going to recruit this time?"
"Thirty thousand!"
Zhao Yin thought for a moment and stretched out three fingers.
Zhao Navy is not an ordinary soldier, he has the strength to kill the enemy with a knife.
It's about learning teamwork, warship operation, and the ability to deal with bad weather, in short, it's very complicated!
"So much?"
Eldest Sun Wuji suddenly frowned.
He can't wait to go to Nanyang to get some spices to sell now, but if he trains those crew members, I'm afraid he will be eager to wear them!
"There will be more and more warships in the future, hundreds or thousands are possible, and I am afraid that the navy will not be enough!"
Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows lightly and said lightly.
The overseas world is very vast, and if Datang wants to conquer it all, warships must be produced non-stop!
Even if the war is all over in the future, warships can still be used for transportation, and as long as warships are still useful, the navy is indispensable!
"According to that, 30,000 people is really not much!"
The eldest grandson Wuji folded his fingers and calculated, revealing an embarrassed smile.
"Of course!"
Zhao Yin glanced at him.
"Is the Naval Academy ready now?"
These are the things that Eldest Sun Wuji is most concerned about now.
"According to the time calculation, it should be about the same!"
This matter was handed over to Zhou Lun to deal with, and there were still some unimportant projects contracted to the private sector, so he didn't know the specific time.
"Then when the navy recruits you, won't you just be able to enter the naval academy?"
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji finally saw some hope.
"That's right!"
Zhao Yin nodded.
"Did Yujia give you any trouble?"
After asking all the questions, the eldest grandson Wuji remembered that he still had a daughter here.
"No, it's just that we haven't figured out where her home is!"
Zhao Yin smiled helplessly.
A few days ago, the eldest grandson Yujia was depressed in the house, so he went to the street to walk around, and when he found that it was getting late, he went back to the eldest grandson's mansion directly.
And the eldest grandson Wuji saw his daughter go back to her parents' house, thinking that she was just homesick, so she stayed for dinner, and until after dinner, the two didn't notice anything wrong!
In the end, Zhao Yin found that she didn't go home after dark, so he mobilized someone to look for her, and finally found her at the eldest grandson's house.
After she told the whole story, everyone couldn't laugh or cry!
"Uh...... Yujia has just gotten married, and the colt has to take care of it, and she will get used to it slowly! ”
Speaking of this stubble, the eldest grandson Wuji was also very embarrassed.
……
The next day, the front page of Zhenguan Daily was recruitment.
And this matter is also led by Zhao Yin personally to be responsible for the Ministry of War.
The main target of this recruitment is Jin Wuwei, however, the premise is to be familiar with the water nature!
Most of Jin Wuwei are from Guanzhong, and there are not many people who are familiar with water, so Zhao Yin is very worried about whether he can recruit enough 30,000 people!
"Is it necessary for the Navy to recruit 30,000 people?"
When Li Er heard this number, he was taken aback.
You must know that he sent troops to fight Tuyuhun and Tubo before sending 50,000 people over.
Isn't it a bit too much of a waste of troops to operate a navy that needs 30,000 to operate warships?
"It's necessary!"
Zhao Yin nodded firmly.
"But didn't the second batch of warships only build thirty?"
According to the calculation of 100 people on each ship, this warship only needs 3,000 people.
But this kid has to recruit 30,000 people, this is just nonsense!
The Tang Dynasty is now expanding everywhere, and every time a country is destroyed, it will build counties and distribute garrisons there, and the population will be greatly consumed!
Now, if another 30,000 navies are recruited, Datang's strength will be even more insufficient!
"If Datang wants to explore overseas in the future, it will need a lot of warships, and this is not enough at all!"
"Okay, but there are mostly landlubbers in Jinwuwei, and if you want to recruit 30,000 people, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult!"
As soon as Li Eryi heard the word "explore overseas", he immediately had no opinion.
"That's just a goal, in the end, as long as it reaches three or four thousand, it will be enough for the time being!"
"This should be fine!"
Jin Wuwei has an army of hundreds of thousands, and it should be no problem to pick three or four thousand who are familiar with water.
"That's the disadvantage of not being on the coast!"
Zhao Yin has always wanted to place the Naval Academy in Laizhou, which is not only easier for the navy to recruit, but also convenient for naval exercises.
"Well, if Chang'an can also be coastal, there must be a lot of people who are familiar with water!"
Li Er also nodded, agreeing with his statement.
"Wait for the next time to recruit troops, maybe you can recruit more people from coastal areas, so that they can all come to Chang'an to study!"
However, if Li Er does not put this kind of national weight on his eyelids, he will definitely not be at ease.
Zhao Yin understands this!
"Good! Just do as you say......! ”
Li Er nodded.
For the sea, people not only respect, but also fear!
After all, the situation at sea is unpredictable, and if you don't do it well, you will never come back.
Therefore, Li Er felt that the number of students set by Zhao Yin was a bit high, even if there were 30,000 people who were familiar with water, they might not be willing to go to the sea.
Zhao Yin is also worried about this problem, but he still has to do his best!
