Wang Xu went back in despair, Sun Xiangfu directly shattered his proud heart, it turned out that everything he has done over the years, in Sun Xiangfu's view, is so insignificant, he opened a new door for everyone, if the Wang family does not enter the door, let alone get rid of others far away, it is difficult to keep up with the footsteps of others.

Therefore, even the top families like the Wang family have to consider the issue of family reform, but they are difficult and time-consuming to change, but they have to surpass the Wei family a lot, and half a year to a year is enough for the first reformed Changsun family, Wei family, Zhen family, Yu family and other families to catch up with them.

A country, more large enterprises are better, in order to bring the whole people into the point of welfare security, in order to create more taxes for the country, at this moment, Datang no longer has to worry about them too rich, when the family's money industry, converted into shares, dispersed into the hands of each clan, their harmfulness has been reduced by half, and when they accept the imperial court's company law, and after the seemingly more rigorous, reliable asset supervision, their harmfulness has been reduced by half again, They cooperate with the local government to develop some low-profit industries, although they tie their own interests to the people and strengthen their own security, but they also completely bind themselves to this country, and their industry has developed, and this country will only be better.

In August, Li Shimin had a rare Mid-Autumn Festival in Lingnan, where the sugar production is abundant, and the moon cakes made are also extremely sweet.

On the seaside, the sound of the neat trumpet sounded, tens of thousands of sailors, shirtless, jumped into the rolling water, Li Shimin barefoot, walked slowly to the beach, these seafarers, swimming and surfing training, very ornamental.

After swimming in the sea a few times, he realized that swimming in the sea and swimming in the paddling pool repaired in the Imperial Garden are not the same thing at all, huge waves can always slap on his face, making him choke on water, in the north he is considered a person who knows water, but in the south, it is not worth mentioning at all.

On the wharf in the distance, the neatly arranged 20 large Baotou steel ships have completed the final repair and inspection, and after the top boatmen of Weinan Shipyard and Lingnan Shipyard were evacuated from the ship, various materials began to be carried by the shipwrights one after another.

This time, their sailing time may reach more than two years, in addition to the preparation of sufficient necessities, their boats are also equipped with a lot of fishing, water filtration, various tools and new technologies that can increase their ability to continue sailing, such as doctors, and even members of the art troupe who use cultural and entertainment activities to help the crew decompress, all of which are prepared on board, Sun Xiangfu almost everything he can think of let Zhao Long and them prepare, and Li Shimin, who saw these preparations, really felt that it was not easy to sail in the open sea.

"Your Majesty, the supplies loaded on the ships here are only a part, because once they go to sea, they will begin to consume, in Luzon, the minister has already sent fifty 30,000 stone ships to prepare another batch of supplies, they will be over there, fill up the supplies of the entire fleet, and will go to sea with the fleet to supply the fleet, but with the navigation ability of those ships, at most they can only send the exploration fleet to the sea area eight thousand miles away before returning."

Li Shimin nodded, and continued to walk along the beach, in the direction of the fleet, he knew that the eight thousand miles of sea route sounded like a long distance, but it may not be one-tenth of the entire voyage, according to Sun Xiangfu's estimates, if the fleet walked around this world, it would need to sail at least 100,000 miles.

Of course, this does not mean that there are 100,000 miles around the earth, if you walk in a straight line, calculate the length of the equator, it is more than 40,000 kilometers, a little more than 80,000 miles, but the actual navigation is along the continental shelf, then, the distance will be much more, even more than half, with the Baotou steel ship downwind, or headwind, on average, the sailing speed of more than 300 miles a day is to run the whole distance without stopping, and it also takes three or four hundred days, and in fact, the time to stay and replenish and land and explore is definitely not short, so, Li Shimin wants to know what the world beyond the far sea is like, and he will have to wait for two or three years.

"Feng Qing, why do these shipwrights have to carry so many tea, canned food and other materials onto the ship and load more grain, doesn't it make them eat longer?" Walking to the side of the dock, Li Shimin saw the things carried by the boatman and asked puzzledly.

"Your Majesty, you don't know this, the ship is at sea, there are all kinds of fishing tools, generally there is no shortage of food, the most lacking is fuel, drinking water, green leafy greens, vegetables and fruits, if people can't eat these things for a long time, they are prone to various diseases, so, if you sail away, these materials need to be prepared."

"It's no wonder that when I went to Ninan County, those boatmen and sailors preferred to eat these vegetables and fruits, but turned a blind eye to the delicious sea fish." Li Shimin suddenly realized.

Feng An's psychology is complaining, if you run on the boat every day, you eat sea fish every day, it's strange if you like to eat it, some people even want to vomit when they smell the smell of sea fish.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhao He and Zhang Lin, who want to vomit when they smell the smell of sea fish, are using a basket to pick up some humus collected from the mountains and forests on the boat, and they will get a place on the boat to plant some green leafy vegetables such as lettuce and amaranth, which can grow quickly, and will also send bean sprouts to open a small stove for the crew at sea.

Seeing Li Shimin walking towards the fleet, Zhao Long closed the lid of a large suitcase, picked it up, got off the boat, and walked over to Li Shimin's location.

"Your Majesty, this is the suicide note of the 3,657 people of the overseas exploration fleet, if we accidentally die at sea, you are the most likely person in the world to help us fulfill our last wishes, so, please accept it." Zhao Long made a half-kneeling salute and held the suitcase high above his head.

For this ultra-long-distance voyage, even if he has been running at sea for several years, he is not completely sure, so it is very necessary to be mentally prepared in advance.

"Suicide note? Why? Li Shimin took the box handed over by Zhao Long, handed it to Dugu Mou, who was guarding him beside him, and helped him up with a heavy face.

"On the sea, any situation can arise, and making this preparation can inspire the seafarers' awareness of cautious survival when they set off, and this awareness is very important in the vast sea that is called the sky and the earth, and can help them avoid many crises."

Speaking of this, Zhao Long's eyes were slightly red, and he still remembered the capsizing accident when he took the 3,000 crew members from Lingnan who had just been trained to Australia a few years ago.

It was night, the sea suddenly rose strong winds, more than a foot high waves, the two by the new crew control, too late to adjust the direction to stabilize the hull of the water ship overturned, most of the sailors on board after falling into the sea, had to blow up the sheepskin airbag to survive tied to the body to float in the waves, the visibility at night was too low, huge waves, simply by the ship that has not been overturned to rescue them, and the next day when the wind and waves were calm, these sailors who fell into the sea had long been separated from the fleet, and at this time, they encountered sharks.

Sailors who have had some training in maritime knowledge know that sharks will gather more and more because of the smell of blood, and they only look for them when they smell the blood on the injured crew, and if they want to escape, they must abandon those injured crews.

At that time, many wounded people who knew that they were in danger of escaping, after shouting out their last wishes, swam downwind along the waves without hesitation, and chose to sacrifice themselves in order to fight for a way to survive for the uninjured crew.

When Zhao Long led the fleet to search over, there were only about 100 people left in the two or three hundred crew members, which was the largest loss in the course of the fleet's several years of sailing, so that all the living crew members are still haunted.

Since then, the crew due to various unexpected circumstances will still occur from time to time, but gradually decreasing, because, due to the more things encountered, they predict and respond to emergency methods, more and more effective, in the past two years, it is basically difficult to have a similar situation can take their lives, especially after the application of the steel structure keel clad steel ship with a deeper draft, generally not just in the event of a typhoon, they do not have to worry about the hull being overturned by the waves.

"Well, I promise you that if any of you have an accident at sea, I will do my best to help them fulfill their last wishes." Li Shimin patted Zhao Long's swarthy shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. By the way, this is some of the experience we have found out in dealing with emergencies in our years at sea, including predicting weather conditions, adjusting the hull, coping with wave impacts, coping with heavy rainstorms, coping with gynalos and countercurrents, and other common dangerous situations at sea. In addition, after being equipped with new equipment, the effective tactical tactics that can be used in naval operations should be of great help to our Datang naval training, and you are also requested to hand it over to various naval units for study and study. ”

Li Shimin took the booklet, nodded at Zhao Long with great appreciation, and said, "The sea is so dangerous, you people, of course I will regard these valuable experiences that I have exchanged for my life." It's just that so many of you crew members gambled your lives for the sake of exploring the open sea, don't you complain or regret it? ”

Zhao Long shook his head and said, "No complaint or regret, Teacher Sun once said that in the future, whoever masters the sea control will control the world, because through it, you can go anywhere in the world, and as long as you master its temperament, the entire sea is a flat river for us, so that we can maintain the initiative in trade and military affairs."

For example, now, the Persians and the Tianzhu people, the Jialou Weibo people, are unable to attack our Datang at sea, but we can attack them at any time, once they want to be the enemy of our Datang, then, their entire coastline and rear will be exposed to the blows of our navy, and we have many lines, we can go straight to Huanglong, attack their capital, in this case, they have no chance of winning.

Therefore, the ministers and their subordinates, even if they pay with their lives, are willing to open up a sea route to the outside world for our Datang and lay the foundation for the crucial sea control in the future. ”

"Whoever controls the sea will control the world······" Li Shimin muttered the words that Zhao Long had just said, and suddenly had a realization in his heart.

Today, it is the ship of Datang, with the ability to go overseas, in the future, if the ship of the overseas country is also strong, then, the coastline of Datang, and the land on the sea that is not less than the local area of Datang, will be exposed to others, at that time, I really don't know what kind of scene it is.

Li Shimin, who understood this truth, understood the importance of the booklet handed over by Zhao Long even more, and later on, he would definitely copy it to the navy for study and training, so as to enhance Datang's ability to go overseas.
