At this time, Cao Limei also felt that the last words she said were a bit big and inappropriate, so she quickly stood up and added to everyone:

"Guys, it seems that we were only developing glassware and cane sugar in the early stages of the crossing, right? Quartz sand is readily available. It doesn't take much effort on our part.

As for the sugar, it is indeed a bit tiring to open up the wasteland and farm, but we have all kinds of construction machinery and transport vehicles, as well as enough oil for a few years, if we carefully maintain these machinery and vehicles, plus what Mr. Zhao just said, the coal coke chemical industry can continue to provide us with some fuel, we should be no problem to engage in development on the island for three or five years, right?

In fact, it is relatively laborious to build the road after crossing and the construction of the brick and tile factory and cement factory on Hou Xianglin's side.

However, at that time, our tech tree doesn't know how many technologies have been lit up, everyone said, am I right? Alright, I'm done."

Bang Bang Bang ...... There was a burst of applause from the audience that was not warm but not sparse, and this applause did not know whether it was for the sister or for the six words "My words are finished", in short, everyone applauded the girl's speech, among which Zhu Beiguo drummed the most vigorously.

Then everyone entered the free discussion time, and several of them listened carefully, and they were very sensitive to the time that Cao Limei said about "burying one's head in development for three or five years".

"In this way, although the labor intensity is not too large, we have been bored on the island for too long, right?"

"Hey! Is it really three to five years? I'm so old......"

"Three or five years on the island? Are you kidding! ”

"If we don't go to sea within two years, we will go to sea by ourselves!"

"Of course it doesn't matter if she's a girl, we can't afford to wait, ...... then"

"Don't worry, at most, wait until the sugarcane is ripe and build the sugar mill in advance, and this doesn't need any high-tech, right? As soon as the sugar comes out, we will go to sea! ”

"In that case, the cultivation of sugarcane should be prioritized......

At this time, it was the crowd of high school students who were talking at the dinner table, and they were obviously not satisfied with the time of three to five years, but fortunately, Gu Jin came forward in time to speak and quieted the noisy high school students, Captain Gu stood up and said solemnly to everyone:

"Guys, I'd like to give you some personal thoughts."

"Captain Gu has any questions, let's listen to them."

Gu Jin nodded, cleared his throat and said:

"We should be able to go to sea within two years, not to mention that the development of cane sugar and glass products is not too difficult, just from the perspective of gender balance in the island's population, we should indeed go out as soon as possible.

However, going global does not only depend on the progress of our product development, but also the progress of sailing training, right?

Therefore I suggest that we start with the Pride and start training sailors among our young men, and that we should start training as soon as possible after the crossing, and I am confident that after a year or so of training, the best of us should be able to sail the Pride to sea.

By then, if product development has not been completed by then, my opinion is ......"

Gu Jin paused at this time and looked at the partners on both sides who were listening quietly.

“…… We still have to go to sea because we have a lot of ready-made goods to sell, such as the glass bottles on our table, let's go to Nicole's supermarket, where there are all kinds of glass bottles, crafts, and even jewelry, right? These things were worth a lot of money back in those days, right? ”

Gu Jin's eyes looked at Zhu Beiguo not far away.

"Of course it's worth it, if you take out the glass mirrors and makeup boxes in the supermarket cabinets and sell them, you can definitely exchange them for a lot of silver! I promise you! ”

Zhu Beiguo took over the conversation and said loudly.

"You can also take advantage of our ships and guns to be privateers!"

Hu Xiaolin, a high school student, suddenly shouted.

"That's right! The robbery of Spanish silver ships was a reasonable fortune in those days......"

The high school students' emotions suddenly soared.

"Calm down, students, listen to me continue!"

Gu Jin turned his head and said loudly to the high school students, and the cafeteria immediately became a lot quieter.

"So, what do you buy back after selling these supermarket supplies? Is it to bring back various industrial raw materials? Is it labor? Of course, you have to bring these back as much as possible, but I have a special suggestion for you: go to the people market of that era, and try to buy more young women to come back and marry all single men! ”

As soon as Gu Jin said this, he immediately made the people in the room so excited that they were frying.

"Wow!"

"Is that okay?!"

"Captain Gu, are you always serious?"

"I completely agree, let's just go over there in Chinese mainland, buy it and come back with dozens of maids to distribute ......"

"It's not too cool!"

"Let's talk about it first! One person does not occupy many! ”

"Oh!"

At this time, in addition to the expressions of the ladies present, everyone began to cheer directly, clapping and clapping, slapping the table, and the room was full of jubilation.

"What's that...... How much silver does it cost to buy a maid in Daming? ”

"Brother Zhu is a doctor of history, I heard that he still specializes in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so he must know if you ask him!"

"Brother Zhu!"

"Does Brother Zhu know how much silver a maid sells?"

"How old can I buy it?"

"Minors are not allowed! That's the bottom line! ”

"Resolutely against polygamy!"

"If you men dare to engage in polygamy, we will dare to engage in polyandry!"

In the midst of the drumming, the ladies shouted and made various demands with some dissatisfaction, but because of the volume, no one seemed to pay attention to their opinions.

"Brother Zhu, you went to the human market to buy population, right?"

"yes, I've heard that the bigger cities have people."

"Yes, maybe I met a beautiful woman who sold herself to bury her father......"

"You can make it up in your brain, but it's a pity that it's a novel made up by the editor!"

"Why?"

"Because there were also industry rules for selling people in that era, not anyone who wanted to sell themselves could sell it!"

Looking at the hopeful and enthusiastic eyes of everyone around him, Zhu Beiguo hurriedly cheered up, and glanced at Cao Limeihou, who was still reading the information at the bottom, and then responded with a serious expression:

"Uh...... Since everyone thinks so highly of me, then I'll tell you about it, but in front of me, as a doctor of history, although I have a certain amount of research on this socio-economic phenomenon of that era, after all, it is also a family's opinion, and the shortcomings are ......."

Zhu Beiguo said and said, and secretly glanced at Cao Limei again, and found that the sister's eyes had left the information in her hand at this time, and she saw that the girl's face was slightly sunk, her eyebrows were slightly frowning, and she looked at herself, so Brother Zhu's heart trembled, and he said:

"Well, first of all, we are civilized people, not beasts! So you can't promote those bad habits! Guys, do you know that men and women are equal? ”

"Brother Zhu, don't answer any questions!"

"yes, we're asking how much it costs to buy a maid!"

However, there were still sharp-eyed people who found some clues and guessed Brother Zhu's concerns, so they hurriedly said:

"Brother Zhu is just an academic research, and he won't really buy it." But there are still those who don't have the eyesight to see, and a sentence came out with a confused face:

"Why didn't Brother Zhu buy it? Oh, yes...... I can't buy ......."

"Sister Cao, we don't mean anything else......"

"Don't worry, Brother Zhu will definitely not buy a maid."

"The main thing is that I don't dare to buy it......"

"Hey, hey! Accumulate virtue in your mouth! ”

"Alas, these bear children, come as soon as you open your mouth!"

Zhu Beiguo was obviously a little unable to hang up at this time, he quickly picked up a pair of chopsticks and knocked on the empty bowl vigorously, attracting everyone's attention to his side.

"Okay, okay, I'm convinced, don't talk about it! Now, I would like to answer your questions in a unified manner, such as the price of the maid, as well as Captain Gu's suggestion......"

After Zhu Beiguo finished speaking, he turned around and smiled at Gu Jin, the two looked at each other and nodded, obviously the two had communicated in advance.
