However, on the night before the Pride set sail, Ren Ke proposed to everyone at the regular plenary meeting, asking to follow the Pride to Macao, saying that he was willing to give Brother Zhu a hand, everyone saw that Ren Ke was so positive, and it was not good to discourage his enthusiasm for work, and everyone also realized that it seemed that Ren Ke was really not interested in his metallurgical profession, and An Hengtong also knew that Ren Kezhi was not here, so he said to Sun Lao, non-ferrous metallurgy, there are not many big things to do at present, even if there is one person who can carry it, Anyway, now that I have a few laborers on my side, and two students from Zhuyuan have come, then let Ke do what he likes.

Sun Lao and the others also took into account that there were indeed a lot of affairs in Macau, whether it was Dai Xiaoshan or Zhu Beiguo, they really needed someone to help.

The most important thing is that Ren Ke's good friend is also in Macau, according to the news that Zhu Beiguo brought back from Macau, now everyone knows that the mother of Liping Courtyard Sang already has a heart for Ren Ke, and Ren Ke is also very interested in this woman, and the last time the pride went to Macau, each time he entrusted Zhu Beiguo to bring many gifts, including a selfie taken by Ren Ke with a digital camera, which is very handsome.

So when Zhu Beiguo went to give gifts for the second time, Yang Qiaoqiao also asked shyly if there was a portrait of Ren Ke, Zhu Beiguo had to regretfully replied, this time he didn't bring Ren Ke, but he brought your three daughters, Yang Qiaoqiao looked at more than 30 high-definition life photos taken with a digital camera, and did not drop the photos on the ground because they were too scary because of the realism last time, but now he can look at them carefully, and finally shed tears, saying that he was relieved to see his daughters very happy, It's just that I don't understand the secret skills of your Australians, how capable a painter can paint people and things so meticulously, Zhu Beiguo has no intention of explaining, because he doesn't understand the other party after explaining, in short, this time he sent people directly to her, just let Ke explain it.

Obviously, for the two Dai Ai who are based in Macao, their task is very heavy, in addition to opening up trade channels, the most important work is to work with Zhu Beiguo to expand all immigration channels, including the Catholic Church, to put it bluntly, is to establish an underground population export channel, and in addition to population export, there is also the export of goods.

According to Dr. Zhu's statement at the plenary session, the Yongli Emperor, the representative of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, will soon flee west to Burma, and the main target of the Qing court has shifted from the southwest to the southeast coast.

If there is no major change in the trajectory of history, three years later, the infamous relocation order will come, and there will be a large-scale exodus of coastal residents overseas.

In addition, at this plenary meeting, Sun Lao also suggested that Harbor Holo be officially used as a fixed stop for the Nicole, to ensure that the import of Han tenant slaves on the Sulu side should be "normalized----".

At this time, Lao Ba also spoke and said, we use as many Han tenants from Sulu as there are, it turns out that these Han tenants are worthy of being selected by "**", and they are really diligent and obedient, in a word, they are very easy to control, not to mention that compared to the nobles of Sulu, we have treated these Han people very well, so don't worry that we can't control these people.

Then Lao Ba changed his words and suggested that since this is the case, then it should be a feasible thing for us to send a few people to take these Han people to develop Zixia Island, so once the conditions are ripe, we will follow Ren Ke's opinion, and it is okay to send him to take people to develop Zixia Island, so letting Ren Ke marry Macao this time also means to test you Ren Ke. Ren Ke immediately said that he must do a good job, not too much of everyone's trust, at this time everyone couldn't help laughing, saying that you Ren Ke will say cheap things at this time, in fact, you are worried about the mother Sang in Macau, we all know, go, live up to the trust or something, don't say it, everyone is a brother, who doesn't know who......

At this time, Gu Jin stood up and let the commotion in the venue be eliminated a little, and he said that from now on, we must not only speed up the delivery of orphans to our families, but also accelerate the cultivation of our own navigation talents.

When Gu Jin said this, he looked at the crew members sitting around and said, I suggest that Zhuyuan Public School immediately set up a sailing training class, select some children who are suitable in all aspects, and let these children grow into crew members as soon as possible---- so that our crew can be replaced, Gu Jin said and pointed to the group of people present and continued, I hope that each of you will become captains.

Without waiting for the crew to respond, Gu Jin said that the assembly process of Wang Gong's proud-class sailing ships will be faster and faster, so the synchronous training of the captain, first mate, boatswain, chief engineer and crew of these ships has reached the point of urgency.

Therefore, please pay attention to the crew members who have participated in the navigation training, according to Wang Gong's shipbuilding plan, it is expected that in the next three years, there will be seven Pride class sailing ships launched, and there are currently a total of 59 crew members who have participated in the navigation training and are basically qualified, including Zhu Beiguo, Xu Zhi, Li Junming, these older and younger people like Hu Xiaolin and Peng Qiang.

Then, within three years, there will certainly be seven captains among you, and an equal number of first mates, boatswain, and chief engineers, and you will need twenty-eight men for these positions alone, not counting the crew currently working on the Nicole.

Obviously, it is not enough for our people to be sailors, and in the near future, with the increase in ships, the ordinary sailors on the Pride and Nicole will probably have to be filled by the students of Bamboo Garden School.

At this time, Gu Jin looked at the crew members who were quietly listening, nodded slightly, and said with a serious face, although we can recruit sailors from outside, it is obvious that we dare not fully trust those rude and ignorant sailors, you must know that in this era, people who go to sea to be ordinary sailors are generally not good! And the origins and backgrounds of these people are also very complex, and in my opinion, these people are not only of poor character, but also not only incompetent in terms of knowledge and skills.

Of course, we can also recruit crew through some selection channels, the current source of foreign crew is probably only three places in Macau, Dili and Xin'an, but whether these crew members are reliable is really a question, excuse me, are we willing to take this risk?

When everyone heard this, they finally began to talk nonsense, and many people shook their heads and said that the crew recruited outside must be unreliable, even if there is a selection, according to today's information conditions, it is impossible to grasp a person's background, and the Pride class sailboat is our most important property, and it cannot withstand any mistakes, so for the sake of prudence, the fundamental way to solve the crew problem is to implement it to the group of children in Zhuyuan Public School.

After listening to everyone's discussions, Gu Jin immediately nodded and concluded: Therefore, on our own ship, it must be the students we have personally trained to be sailors, which is reassuring, so the education examination committee has a long way to go and a great responsibility, and the talent training in Zhuyuan must take care of our demand for nautical talents.

After hearing this, Han Yu immediately said that he would immediately adjust the teaching and set up a navigation training class as soon as possible.

Next is Wang Xue's speech, she said that with our slipway shipbuilding capacity, we can assemble two proud sailing ships at the same time, at present, the No. 1 slipway has begun to lay the keel, but I still lack labor here, after all, assembling riveted steel hull is a heavy physical work, a while ago we used truck cranes and other construction machinery, but at present, the oil brought from the old world has been almost consumed, and the oil provided by the chemical industry comes from the by-product of the coal dry distillation production line, and the quality is worrying, The damage to the construction machinery of the old world is very great, and the Yellow Sea has overhauled several truck cranes several times, so in order not to wear out these machinery too much, all the construction machinery is temporarily sealed in the cave, and it is necessary to wait until the chemical team can provide us with standard gasoline and diesel, these construction machinery can come in handy again.

Subsequently, Sun Lao Yang Yang handed a telegram from Hou Xianglin in Xin'an City, which said that there were also dozens of orphans in the Catholic church in Dili City, mainly orphans born after the mixed race and indigenous wars between Portuguese and locals, and that the Governor of Pimont and the Bishop of Dili were eager to get the same support from Australians as Macao for the "cause of God".
