In the next few days, Yang Congyi took Gu Qingchen to the street to buy a few new dresses and buy some daily necessities for girls.

Subsequently, he went to the household department to receive all the money that he had never received, ten months of money, in addition to the regular salary and job money, there are other kinds of subsidies, what is the specific subsidy, Yang Congyi is not very clear, a total of more than 270 yuan of money, for ordinary people is not small, in addition to cash, there are also some kinds, let go to other places to collect, Yang Congyi is not very familiar with Lin'an, and will go to collect it when he has time.

The Yulu that she got was directly given to Gu Qingchen and asked her to keep it. It is in the nature of girls to manage money and households, and they are born with this ability.

Since he wanted to rely on his senior brother for his life, Gu Qingchen did not shirk, and simply collected the money.

After she took care of the money, Yang Congyi could only eat three meals a day at home, and she could no longer go out to eat every day, after all, the meals in the restaurant were expensive, it was not as cost-effective as eating at home, and she was very talented in housekeeping.

These days, Yang Congyi asked again and again when the Hui Yi fleet would depart, and Lord Huang always replied that the imperial court was discussing, and he would be able to go to sea when the envoy was confirmed.

In the Hui Yi Supervision Office, while waiting for news, continue to recruit.

Lang Zhong recruited two more, and Yunyou Daoist also recruited three people.

On the ninth day of the first month of November, Lord Huang hurried over, and as soon as he entered the courtyard of the superintendent's office, he shouted: "Good news, good news! ”

Yang Congyi was reading a book in the room, when he suddenly heard the good news shouted in the courtyard, and hurriedly came out, and when he saw Lord Huang, he asked, "Lord Huang, but the date of going to sea has been confirmed?" ”

"No, it's the imperial court that has finally settled on the envoy of Hui Yi. I came to you today to discuss with you to determine the date of going to sea. "Lord Huang was very excited.

Yang Congyi was also very happy to hear this news, so it is likely that he will be able to go to sea after returning to the Yi fleet within the year.

After the two entered the house, they didn't wait to sit down, Yang Congyi couldn't hold back his excitement, and immediately asked, "Lord Huang, has the imperial court already chosen a day to go to sea?" ”

Lord Huang sat down and said with a smile: "Yes, after the envoy was determined yesterday, Si Tianjian selected three auspicious days to go to sea, November 21, November 29, and December 16. According to your understanding of Huiyi Duzao, when will the Huiyi fleet be able to go to sea, and which auspicious day is more appropriate? ”

Yang Congyi didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "It's impossible to go to sea in November, and it's too late." It will take six or seven days to send the news, and although all the materials should have been in place and stored in the ports of Quanzhou Bay, it will take at least half a month for all the materials to be loaded onto the ship. When the supplies are loaded, all the ships will have to be inspected before going to sea to see if there is a shortage of supplies, which will take a few days. The most important thing is whether you can rush to Quanzhou at the end of the month, if not, you don't need to think about November 29, and it is better to choose December 16 directly, so that you can have more time and make adequate preparations. Lord Huang, what do you think? ”

Huang Dadao: "I thought it would be better to prepare on the day of November 29, first prepare according to this date of going to sea, if not, and then postpone it to December 16." It is reasonable for you to worry about whether we can rush to Quanzhou, but as long as the date of going to sea is determined, there is no room for delay in Lin'an, and no one can afford to miss the auspicious day of going to sea! ”

Yang Congyi said: "It's still an adult who is thoughtful. That being the case, I immediately sent the news to Quanzhou, and asked Deputy Envoy Tang to start preparations immediately, load all the supplies on the ship, and as soon as the adults arrived in Quanzhou, they would choose an auspicious day to go to sea. ”

Huang Dadao: "Deputy Envoy Yang is not in a hurry, once the auspicious day is determined, the news will be sent by the imperial court to send it day and night, you will go to Quanzhou in eight or nine days, and the imperial court will be able to arrive in three or four days." Now that Hui Yi is making a decision, he estimates that some things will have to be asked in advance, we need to think about it, you stay in Lin'an for the time being, and we will go to Quanzhou together. ”

Since the delivery of the news has been arranged by the imperial court, then he doesn't have to worry about it, and immediately replied: "Listen to the arrangement of the adults." ”

Huang Dadao: "I will first tell the imperial court and the envoy of Hui Yi about the selected auspicious day to go to sea, and after the imperial court agrees, I will send someone to send the news to Quanzhou." You are waiting for my news here with peace of mind, and I have something to discuss with you in the past two days. ”

Yang Congyi said: "Yes, then I am here to wait for the news of the adults." ”

Lord Huang was about to get up and leave, but Yang Congyi suddenly remembered that there was still something to coordinate back to Lin'an, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Lord Huang, I still have something here that needs to be coordinated by adults." ”

"What?" Lord Huang sat down again when he heard this.

Yang Congyi said: "That's the case, since it has been decided to return to the Yi fleet to go to sea within the year, the manpower of the ship needs to be matched one by one." The rest of the manpower is almost the same, and now only Lang Zhong and the Taoist monks with superb medical skills are still lacking, and I hope that the adults can coordinate one or two. ”

Lord Huang was slightly stunned, this kind of manpower can be recruited by himself, and he should not be needed to coordinate. He asked, "How to coordinate?" ”

Yang Congyi said: "This time the crew of the ship is estimated to reach seven or eight thousand people, far more than expected, the climate of the South Seas is different from the mainland, and it is perennial at sea, and diseases are unavoidable, so it is expected to be configured with at least fifty Langzhong, we have also recruited for a few months, recruited from Quanzhou to Lin'an, a total of only a dozen have been recruited, the gap is huge, and the level of Lang Chinese medicine skills recruited is also uneven, I think the Tai Doctor in the Tai Yi Bureau is all superb and skillful, a Tai Yi can be as good as four or five ordinary Lang Zhong, is it possible to coordinate the allocation of some, Otherwise, once a major illness occurs at sea, it will be difficult to deal with, and it will be a catastrophe for the entire Huiyi fleet. ”

As soon as Lord Huang heard that the imperial doctor was going to be transferred, he immediately shook his head, the imperial doctor is for the royal diagnosis and treatment, and he will occasionally be appointed by the official family to the important ministers of the imperial court for diagnosis and treatment, where can he be transferred? But when he thought that after going to sea, the climate of the South Seas was different from that of the north, and he was far away from the mainland at sea, it was inevitable that he would not adapt to the water and soil, and he would be uncomfortable and sick. There is a risk in going to sea, and if you don't prepare for what you should do, once something happens, you can't blame anyone.

After hesitating for a while, he replied, "Okay, I'll try my best to coordinate and see if I can allocate a few." What else is there to attain the Tao? What do you want them to do? ”

Yang Congyi said: "Adults don't know, we go to sea is to go to the West, at least two years, more than three or five years, so many people are on a small sea boat, far away from the mainland of the homeland, do not get off the boat for a few months, do not go to the ground, take a look at the sea water everywhere, and then look at the sea water, for a long time, people's minds change, easy to think, there will be accidents, we take some monks to go with us, always preach Buddhism, drive away the demons, so that the crew always keep a stable mentality, no chaos, so that the fleet can go out safely and come back safely."

Also, we purchased more than 20 million catties of tea this time, the quantity is too much, how to sell it, we also need to think of some way. I heard that the monks are generally proficient in the tea ceremony, accompanied by them, every time they go to a country and a place, they invite local dignitaries and dignitaries to drink tea together, then this tea is not ordinary tea, what price can be sold, it is really unimaginable.

Silk is actually the same, as far as I know, silk in the West only for the nobles to wear, the common people can not see and can not buy, we this time to purchase more than 4 million silk brocade, the quantity is huge, if you can't sell so much, the nobles will take the opportunity to lower the price. If we can select a group of exquisite garment craftsmen from the brocade institute, and send exquisite clothes to the local dignitaries and their families everywhere, and publicize them everywhere, so that the common people can also see the exquisite clothes sewn by oriental silk brocade, the merchants and wealthy families will certainly come to exchange and buy, and in this way, the profits we can get will be immeasurable. Therefore, if you want to go out safely, come back safely, and earn back more money, you must have to send some of the monks and the garment craftsmen of the Brocade Academy. ”

Yang Congyi made the question of important people clear in one breath, and almost clearly told Lord Huang that without these people, it was unknown whether he would be able to make money when he returned to the Yi fleet, and whether he could come back safely.

In a word, the imperial doctors, monks, and garment craftsmen are all indispensable, and if they are less, this trip back to Yi will be greatly discounted, and maybe it will be a trip for nothing.

Master Gao doesn't do business, and after listening to Yang Congyi's words, he thought about it for a while before he understood the twists and turns and the essence of it. At the beginning, the official family asked him to be in charge of returning to Yi, just to make money and fill the treasury, as long as it is conducive to making money, how can there be no reason not to agree. I only heard him answer: "Okay, I'll find these people as soon as possible." What else needs to be coordinated? ”

Yang Congyi said: "Thank you for helping to solve the problem, it is enough for everyone to coordinate these." There is also the matter of the Xuanwei Army, the Xuanwei Army has been trained, they have a heavy responsibility to go to sea this time, the safety of the entire fleet is in their hands, there are many countries in the South and Western Oceans, it is inevitable that some countries will set up obstacles to obstruct the Great Song Dynasty Huiyi fleet, and may even rely on the geographical advantage to attack the Huiyi ships and rob us of our materials and goods. In case this happens, the Xuanwei army needs to be equipped with enough military equipment and ordnance to fight five battles, prepare for the worst, and wait until the real danger comes, so that we will not panic. In addition to standing armaments, the Xuanwei Army should also be equipped with some * weapons in order to deter small countries that do not respect etiquette and law in times of crisis. ”

It's not that he doesn't go, but even if he tries to explain, he may not be able to receive excess military resources and ordnance. But Master Gao is different, he is the commander of the Xuanwei Army, and he is a close attendant of the official family, he goes to coordinate and receive more military funds and ordnance, and even * weapons, which is naturally much easier than Yang Congyi, maybe it is a matter of one sentence.

Master Gao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take care of this matter too." Anything else? ”

Yang Congyi smiled: "No, that's all." If the imperial doctors, monks, garment craftsmen and ordnance can all coordinate well, this return to Yi will definitely make more than ten times the profit. He was afraid that he would say too much, and the tall man would forget it, so he hurriedly mentioned it again.

Master Gao smiled and said, "Okay, Deputy Envoy Yang, you are here waiting for my news." After finishing speaking, he got up and left, and just after walking a few steps, he stopped and said: "By the way, if you have time, you can go to Wuxue, and Wuxue still has some things waiting for you to deal with." ”

"Okay, I'll go when I have time in the next two days."

Yang Congyi held back his excitement and kept sending Master Gao out of the hospital.
