The Grand Voyage Program is scheduled to be officially launched on June 22.

Yangzhou Military Port.

On 15 May, Li You inspected the ocean-going fleet.

The ocean-going fleet that searched for the New World this time consisted of one third-class, two fourth-class, two fifth-class, four six-sail battleships, a grain ship, a horse ship, and two cargo ships.

The ocean-going fleet has a total of 6,712 personnel, including 4,275 naval officers and men, 500 marines, one diplomatic envoy of Honglu Temple, 12 interpreters, 32 medical officers, 1,892 craftsmen and people, and 200 war horses.

The commander of the fleet was Lu Tong, and his father-in-law, Gongsun Deguang, resumed his military position and served as deputy commander.

After inspecting the ships and troops, Li You, accompanied by Lu Tong and others, came to the fleet commander's mansion.

Gongsun Deguang is an old sailor, and his main responsibility is to assist Lu Tong in commanding, and the specific task is to be responsible for the daily management and logistics support of the troops. He gave Li You a detailed report on the reserves of grain, oil, vegetables, fuel, forage, and other ordnance materials, as well as the preparations for medical support.

Li You is basically satisfied. He specifically explained that in the process of sailing, it is necessary to pass through the ports of many countries, sometimes the ports are very close to each other, sometimes very far, so the supply of materials must be sufficient.

The Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, influenced by the Silk Road, can be used in many countries, and for countries that do not recognize Kaiyuan Tongbao, Persian silver coins are used. On the way, they will also encounter Kaiyuan Tongbao and countries that cannot be used for silver coins, and Li You prepared a large amount of glass, ceramics, liquor, silk, cotton cloth, leather shoes and other materials for them to barter.

After doing all this, Li You still felt that there was something shortcoming.

Governor's Palace.

In the guest room, Li You, Zhang Guigui, Bai Hu, Hou Cheng, Gao Tong, Xue Rengui and others were chatting, Li You said: "Precious, I see that you are idle all day long, how about giving you one thing to do?" ”

Zhang Guigui came to Yangzhou, he was not familiar with the business of the navy, he really had nothing to do, and he felt bored to go out all day long. As soon as he heard that there was a mission, he immediately came to his senses.

He asked, "Brother You, what task?" ”

Li You looked at Xiao Wanyu and the others who were playing cards on the side, and said to them, "Wanyu, you guys go to another room to play first." ”

Murong Ling said casually: "Husband, what is so mysterious? "Li You trusts his princesses very much, and he has never hidden anything from them before.

Li You smiled: "It's not suitable for children, so you should go out first." ”

The four princesses rolled their eyes at him in unison and walked out.

Murong Ling said as she walked: "Why is my husband going to hide things from us, it must not be a good thing." ”

She saw Di Renjie, the little follower next to Wu Jue, rolled her eyes, and said, "Di Renjie, didn't the prince praise you for saying that you are a criminal investigation talent?" Now is the time to put your skills to the test. ”

Di Renjie's eyes lit up and asked, "How to test it?" ”

Murong Ling said: "The prince and those people don't know what to talk about. You eavesdrop, if you can hear what they say. It means that you have the ability. ”

When Di Renjie heard this, he shook his head again and again and said: "I don't go, it's rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversations." ”

Murong Ling glanced at Wu Jue. Wu Jue was also very curious, she said to Di Renjie: "You are very right, we can't do that kind of thing to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

However, the prince is different, he is our closest person, and he can eavesdrop on his words all day long. ”

Di Renjie didn't understand what kind of logic she was, but he obeyed this beautiful sister, so he quietly slipped back.

In the guest room, Li You said: "Precious, you are so ......"

In addition to Xue Rengui, Zhang Guigui, Baihu, Hou Cheng and Qualcomm were all very excited. They all said, "Let's go." ”

In the garden, Di Renjie completed the eavesdropping task and came to report the results of his eavesdropping to the four princesses.

"Phew, shameless." The four beautiful ladies said together. The magpie who was with them also turned red, and she asked, "What does my white tiger say?" ”

Di Renjie is a big ghost, he saw the magpie's anxious appearance, and said, "I didn't hear Big Brother Baihu speak. ”

The magpie's face looked a little better, and he said, "It's pretty much the same." Hmph, if he dares to go, see if I go back and don't pick his skin. ”

Soon after, Yangzhou Military Port.

In the conference room of the Commander's Palace, Lu Tong and Gongsun Deguang gathered all the officers of the ocean-going fleet and waited for Zhang Guigui to convey the orders of His Royal Highness King Qi.

Zhang Guigui said: "The ocean mission is very arduous and the time will be very long. His Royal Highness the King of Qi is very considerate of your hard work and has decided to build a green building on the sea for you.

I have gone to great lengths to prepare 100 female slaves for you to enjoy on your journey. In addition, I will also set up a performance team for you to appease your soldiers. ”

"Okay, whoa. His Royal Highness King Xie Qi and Lord Xie are here. The officers were all very excited, cheering and applauding.

Zhang Guigui said: "There is another good thing. The female slaves are easy to say, I bought them all from the official prostitutes, but this performance team is a little difficult to manage.

Therefore, His Royal Highness the King of Qi asked you to go to the Qinglou to find those red cards, Qingqi, and girls, as long as you can take a fancy to her, and you are willing to marry her, as long as people are willing, His Royal Highness the King of Qi who redeems himself will come out for you. However, the condition was that they should go to sea with the army and serve in the performance team. ”

"Really? And such a good thing. Mom, pinch me, I'm not dreaming, am I? At this moment, the officers were not only excited, but their blood was boiling.

For these ordinary officers, those young men in the Qinglou who do not sell their talents, with the little money in their own pockets, do not dare to kiss Fang Ze at all. For them, those beauties are swans, unattainable.

An officer stood up and said, "Master Zhang, what you said is true, as long as I take a fancy to her and she is willing to go with me, I can marry her home as a wife?" ”

Zhang Guigui smiled: "Yes, it's true." However, if you don't have the ability, people don't look down on you, you can't force your actions, if that's the case, Lao Tzu is not polite to you. ”

The officer laughed and said, "Mom, that's great." ”

At this time, an officer stood up and said, "My lord, if the subordinate officer has the ability to fall in love with two at once, and everyone is willing, can I marry both of them?" ”

Zhang Guigui smiled: "If that's the case, you kid will roll up and roll out of the egg as soon as possible." I can't afford to raise a greedy guy like you. ”

"Hahaha." The officers burst into laughter.
