"Teacher, recently we found out that the fishing boat Yongping is no longer moored here in our Tianjin port, at first, we thought that the Yongping had an accident when it went to sea, but then we investigated and found that someone was robbing our business."

Tong Yuan found Liu Jin and reported to Liu Jin a new incident that had appeared at the port of Tianjin.

"Someone is stealing our business?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"That's right, we have a steward named Wei Xiaoming here in Tianjin Port, who is currently only a second-level steward, and at the same time, there are more than a dozen of Wei Xiaoming's fellow villagers in Tianjin Port, and this Wei Xiaoming's hometown is a place called Weijiatun, which is only more than 40 miles away from our Tianjin."

"At the same time, it is only less than fifty miles away from Yongping Mansion, this Weijiatun is also close to the sea, and the place where it is located is a natural harbor, so after Wei Xiaoming returned to his village not long ago, he organized everyone to build a wharf, and then pulled this Yongping over."

"This Yongping is moored here in Weijiatun, and if you go to Yongping Mansion, you can have dozens of miles left, which greatly saves time, so this Yongping has never come to our Tianjin Port to berth again."

Tong Yuan told the situation in great detail from beginning to end, and also took out a map to mark the location of Weijiatun.

Liu Jin listened carefully, and there was no displeasure on his face.

"This Wei Xiaoming is a talent, and he is also very discerning."

After listening carefully, Liu Jin couldn't help but smile and said, I have to say that this Wei Xiaoming is very discerning, and knows how to build a wharf and repair a port, if this Weijiatun prosperes in the future, just sitting in this Weijiatun port is enough for generations and ancestors to have food and clothing.

"Teacher, this person eats inside and out, should we let him learn some lessons, and this Weijiatun has diverted the business of our Tianjin port, with this Weijiatun start, there will be Lijiatun, Zhangjiatun, Liujiatun or something in the future, then our Tianjin port will not have any business."

Tong Yuan looked at Liu Jin and said.

"This is not necessary, this is something that will inevitably happen, as you said, even if there is no Weijiatun, there will be this Liujiatun and Lijiatun in the future, I have thousands of miles of sea territory, we can't help but let other places build ports, right?"

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, then thought about it and said: "Actually, this is not a bad thing, someone builds a wharf and repairs a port, which shows that there is this demand, and it also shows that our efforts are not in vain, and this navigation career has a good start." ”

"In the future, the main business of our Tianjin port is actually ocean trade, and this fishing boat can also be slowly distributed to other ports to berth."

"Now in the whole Ming Dynasty, only our Tianjin side can justifiably go to sea for trade, which is destined to make our Tianjin port prosperous, don't worry about no business to do."

"However, teacher, this Wei Xiaoming, as the manager and employee of our Tianjin Port, actually took away the business of our Tianjin Port without permission, which is unjustifiable in any case."

Tong Yuan nodded, and then he still felt that he couldn't let Wei Xiaoming go so simply, he built a port, solicited business or something, there was nothing to say, it could be said that he should come to Tianjin Port first to resign, so that there was nothing to say, as an employee of Tianjin Port, he was doing such a thing, which was intolerable.

"In this way, you go to him in person to have a good talk, let him take the initiative to resign with the people of the same village, pay attention to proportions when speaking, everyone is destined to get to know each other, so that they can get together and disperse."

Liu Jin nodded slightly, then thought about it and said.

"Hmm."

Tong Yuan nodded and agreed, and then seemed to remember something and said, "Teacher, the enrollment of the third batch of students of our Tianjin Maritime Academy is about to start. ”

"I see, I'll go over and have a look later."

was reminded by Tong Yuan like this, Liu Jin felt that time was really fast, and Tianjin Maritime University had begun to recruit the third batch of colleges.

This first batch of colleges has not yet gone to the Golden Continent, and this third batch of colleges has already begun to enroll, and time flies really fast.

For Tianjin Maritime College, Liu Jin has put a lot of effort into it, because Liu Jin knows that this voyage not only needs qualified ships, but also needs qualified crews.

Therefore, it also invested in the construction of Tianjin Shipyard and Tianjin Maritime College, the former is specialized in shipbuilding, and the latter is specialized in training qualified crews.

"In a few days, the first batch of trainees will go to the Golden Continent, and the second batch of trainees is now undertaking the main marine fishing, and will slowly try to take the route of North Korea and the Japanese country in the future."

"Well, talent should be like this, continuous, endless."

Thinking of this, Liu Jin put down the matter at hand and walked towards Tianjin Maritime College.

Tianjin Maritime College covers an extremely wide area, and the construction of the entrance of this college is also based on the style of later generations, which is very different from some private schools and academies in this era.

At the huge school gate, there is a huge globe, which is naturally built according to the map of the earth drawn by Liu Jin, which is a landmark building of Tianjin Maritime College, and now it is a landmark building in Tianjin.

At this time, at the door of Tianjin Maritime College, there were tens of thousands of people gathered, and when they looked at the past, there were crowds of people, and there were people gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing with each other, quietly waiting for the start of the third batch of enrollment of Tianjin Maritime College.

The students who graduated from Tianjin Maritime College really mean a golden job, a promising and bright future.

The first batch of graduates can now earn several taels of silver on any trip to the sea, and at least a few hundred taels of silver if they go to North Korea.

At the beginning, more than 1,000 students, all of them were bitter, and many of them were even poor and couldn't even afford to eat, so they fled to the capital, and finally became students of the Maritime Academy by chance.

But now, these people are all salted fish one by one, not only do they have good houses in Tianjin, but everyone has at least saved thousands of taels of silver, and some of them have performed well and become captains, which is even more remarkable and has become hot characters.

Many bigwigs from the capital will personally go to woo these people, because whether they go to sea to fish or do business, these people who can be captains are indispensable.

Fishing at sea is indispensable to give dividends to the captain, and the same is true for doing business at sea.

As for the second batch of students, now they are all very angry, they go out to sea to fish every day, and the silver is constantly rolling into their pockets like flowing water, and it has not been long since they graduated.

The original singles have also become sought-after goods, and there are a lot of matchmakers who want to tell you matchmakers; The original poor jingle is now also bulging in their pockets, building houses, marrying daughters-in-law, and playing everything.

The whole Tianjin side of the people know that the most profitable is the students who graduated from Tianjin Maritime College, who can go to sea every day, followed by those shipbuilders in Tianjin Shipyard, although the income is not as high as these going to sea, but it is not bad, the key is not to go to the sea bumps.

Then there are the people who work in Tianjin Glass Factory, because the price of glass is very expensive, so the salary of the employees of this glass factory is also very high, but ordinary people can't get in at all, and the glass factory will not recruit workers at all.

The lowest income is the people who work in Tianjin Cement Factory and Tianjin Port, but this low is also relative to the others, compared to other industries in Tianjin, these are still high salaries, and they are still eye-catching, and countless people dream of being able to enter it and do things.

Because everyone knows that Tianjin Maritime College can make a lot of money after graduation and can have a bright future, so when we learned that the Maritime College is going to recruit the third batch of students, the whole Tianjin people are crazy, as long as they are probably qualified young adults, almost all of them flock here to try it out, wanting to see if they can enter.

A large part of them are still employees in many industries under Liu Jin, these people have seen more and know more, and naturally this ambition is also greater, not satisfied with the income from work, and want to enter the maritime academy to study and earn more money after graduation.

Or maybe some people know the vast world outside the Ming Dynasty after taking night classes, and they yearn for it, and they want to go to the sea to explore and see the outside world.

"It's really lively~"

Liu Jin took Zhao Erhu to the gate of the Maritime Academy, looking at the black crowd, when he was in it, it was really crowded, and Liu Jin's face showed a smile.

"There are a lot of them, and there are even some people in charge."

Zhao Erhu nodded, and a pair of eyes kept looking at the crowd.

"I guess it's yearning for the outside world."

Liu Jin smiled and said, Liu Jin is still very happy to see the phenomenon of everyone enthusiastically signing up, looking at the crowd with his eyes and pricking up his ears to listen to what these people are talking about.

"Brother Liu, why don't you cut off your long hair?"

"Why cut off your long hair? Don't you know the truth that the parents of this body do not dare to damage it? ”

"Brother Liu, you can't keep long hair when you go to sea, because it's hard to take care of long hair, and it's easy to breed unclean things, this Tianjin Maritime College college has short hair, not to mention that this hair is just cut shorter, and it's not a monk who is shaved to become a monk, worthy of your parents, your thinking is too backward, you definitely can't enter the Maritime Academy like this."

"Ah, there is such a saying?"

"Otherwise, if you look at the people around you, who hasn't cut their hair short in advance, especially those employees of Tianjin Port and Tianjin Cement Factory, who have even shaved their beards."

"Brother Zhang, why didn't you say it earlier, where can I go to find scissors now?"

"Brother Liu, there is a special haircut next to Tianjin Maritime College, you should hurry up and cut it now, and shave your beard casually, there is still time."

"Okay, Brother Zhang, you must wait for me."

“……”

Liu Jin couldn't help laughing when he watched a person with long hair fly to cut off his long hair, here in Tianjin, short hair is becoming more and more popular, and there are even people who specialize in cutting people's hair, which is definitely a good thing, touching his long hair, Liu Jin is also thinking about finding a time to cut it, it's too long, I'm really not used to it, and I always feel awkward.

"Everyone~ Everyone, under is Shen Yang of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, our Four Maritime Commercial Bank has ordered a few ships in Tianjin Shipyard, and needs hundreds of crew members, if you are successfully admitted to Tianjin Maritime College, you can come and contact you, our Four Seas Commercial Bank is willing to hire everyone in advance, starting from entering the Maritime Academy, our Four Seas Commercial Bank is willing to pay five taels of silver per month, and after graduation, the basic monthly money will not be less than ten taels of silver."

"Everyone~ Everyone, our three public commercial banks have recruited seafarers, as long as they can be admitted to the Maritime Academy and sign a contract with us, we are willing to pay five taels of silver per month for your study expenses in the college, and after successful graduation, the basic monthly money will not be less than ten taels of silver..."

Just when Liu Jin felt that his long hair was awkward, someone held a sign in the crowd and kept shouting while walking, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Oh my God~ As long as you enter the academy, you can get five taels of silver a month, and after you graduate successfully, you can get ten taels of silver a month, this is ......"

When someone heard this, they opened their mouths wide and were very surprised.

"It's rare and strange, this Four Seas Firm is to recruit enough sailors in advance, so it gives you a monthly fee of five taels of silver, but no one who can enter the academy cares about this mere five taels of silver a month."

Some people seem to know the market very well, and rarely say it without a hesitation.

Hearing this person's words, the people around him widened their eyes one by one, and then they all secretly clenched their fists, cheering for themselves, thinking that they must enter Tianjin Maritime College.

This is just to be recruited, and someone is willing to give you five taels of silver a month, just to sign you in advance.

The monthly money of five taels of silver is definitely a proper high income in this era, and it is a number that ordinary people dare not think of, which makes many people's eyes red, and when they look at the gate of the Maritime Academy, their eyes are full of infinite yearning and longing, as if this is a holy place, even if they are desperate to enter.
