Chapter 83: Reward
Woo! Woo!
The whistle sounded, and the three steamers slowly entered the dock in turn, and many people on the pier wept with joy, and the safe return of the fleet meant that their relatives who had gone to sea had also returned.
Departing on the 20th of the first lunar month and returning on the afternoon of the 24th of February, the fleet spent half a month to complete the first exploration of the sea.
Standing on the dock, Yunyi doesn't know if the fleet has gained, but these are no longer important, the team's safe return is the biggest gain, even if it is not found this time, send the fleet to explore the sea a few more times, there will always be discoveries.
On all three ships, except for a few crew members who had duties, the rest of the crew came to the deck, shouting loudly to vent their excitement.
The people on the docks were also shouting loudly, cheering for the safe return of the fleet, a jumble of various languages, but everyone knew that it was a happy language.
Li Qing was also standing on the pier, and Li Qing, who had better eyesight, saw his father on the ship at a glance: "It's Daddy, Daddy is back, it's great." ”
Tears of joy flowed from Li Qing's eyes, and soon wet a small piece of the ground under Li Qing's feet.
The steamer docked at the wharf, and the people standing on the wharf retreated some places one after another, giving room to the warriors returning from the sea, leaving only Yunyi and Shi Yang and their party.
Yun Yong, the captain of the Discovery, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, led the crew to get off the ship in turn, Yun Yong came to Yun Yi, and said respectfully to Yun Yi with an excited tone: "Master of the family, I am always fortunate not to be dishonored. ”
As soon as Yun Yong said this, Yun Yi understood that Yun Yong's so-called "fortunate and not dishonored" meant that the fleet had made discoveries on the sea, not that the fleet would return safely.
"Good, very good." Yun Yi's smile widened.
Yun Yi did not continue, but took the main personnel of the fleet to the side and gave the dock to the crew and their relatives, although it was only half a month apart, but the risk was as great as you can imagine, the crew and their families hugged each other and cried on the dock.
Here, Yun Yi and Yun Yong continued to talk.
Yun Yong: "Master, we found an island with an area of about 700 hectares about 600 miles southeast of Wanghai Town, the island is lush and green, and the environment is excellent, but the fleet is not well prepared, so we did not go to the island to explore. ”
"Yes, Wen Wei, you have made a great contribution to the family this time." Yunyi praised, and at the same time, Yunyi's brain was also calculating quickly.
Seven hundred hectares is not small, at least it can accommodate thousands of people to live in seclusion, some factories that cannot be built on a large scale in Yunhua County can be moved to the island, if there is an accident in the outside world, the Yun family can also use this large area of the island as a way out.
What's more, this island will become a base for the Yun clan to explore the sea, and with this island as a base, the Yun clan's fleet can explore further afield.
While Yun Yi was thinking, Yun Yong continued: "It is Yong's duty to pay for the family, but this time I went to sea and never brought everyone back safely, and two crew members accidentally fell into the water and could not be rescued." ”
Yun Yi shook off those thoughts in his mind, patted Yun Yong's shoulder with his right hand and said: "Wen Wei, don't think too much, in the eyes of ordinary people, the sea is a forbidden place, and it is a very remarkable thing for most people in the fleet to return safely, two crew members who died because of exploring the sea, we will give their families enough compensation and provide shelter, isn't this exactly what most crew members need?" ”
"Master of the house, always understand." Yun Yong also threw away the gloom in his heart, on the one hand, because of Yun Yi's words, on the other hand, Yun Yong was originally a child of a big family, ordinary people are just a dispensable existence in the eyes of the children of the big family, and few of the children of the big family are sad because of the death of ordinary people.
After a brief exchange, Yunyi saw that the people on the dock were almost cathartic, and it was time to take the next step.
Yun Yi walked in the direction of the crowd, saw Yun Yi coming, the crowd automatically gave way to a passage, and finally Yun Yi walked to the front of the crowd and stood in a slightly higher place, Yun Yi could see everyone present, and everyone present could also see Yun Yi's appearance, people knew that this beautiful boy had a very high status, higher than the town prince.
"Benjue is the patriarch of the Yunhua Yun clan, and he is also the person in charge of this fleet's plan to explore the sea, this time the fleet has completed the exploration plan perfectly, and Benjue's promise will be fulfilled, come on." Yun Yi used some martial arts internal force skills, and Yun Yi's voice could be heard by most of the people present.
Hearing Yun Yi's call, four big men soon walked to the front carrying two boxes.
Yunyi: "Open the box." ”
The four big men listened and opened the box.
Wow!
There was an exclamation on the docks, for the two chests contained all yellow, orange, and orange gold coins, shiny and shiny, and the eyes were painful.
Yun Yi: "Everyone can see that these are gold coins, and this plan to explore the sea was perfectly completed, and Ben Jue decided that each crew member would receive three gold rewards. ”
Hiss!
Many people on the dock gasped, one person was rewarded with three golds, three golds are enough for an ordinary family to live for a year and a half, but this is indeed earned after half a month at sea, and many people present regretted why they joined the fleet, anyway, most of the people who went to sea came back, and they couldn't be so unlucky that they were one of the two people who didn't come back, as long as they joined the fleet, they could also get three golds.
Of course, Yunyi's words actually mean that ordinary crew members have three gold each, and according to the level of the crew, the higher the level, the more the bounty.
Yunyi: "Who is Wang Ertao?" ”
The scene was silent for a moment, and after a few breaths, a stumbling voice sounded in the crowd: "Big... People, small... People are... It's Wang Ertao. ”
After the voice sounded, people made way for Wang Ertao one after another, so that Yunyi could see Wang Ertao.
Yunyi: "Wang Ertao, you are the first person to discover the island, and Ben Jue has decided to reward you with an additional hundred gold, come up and receive the reward." ”
"What!" Wang Ertao's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, and forgot to reply for a while.
Seeing Wang Ertao, who was stunned, the person behind Wang Ertao pushed Wang Ertao and almost pushed Wang Ertao down, but Wang Ertao also sobered up under the reminder.
"Little... There are a lot of people... Thank you... Give. After stumbling back, Wang Ertao stepped forward tremblingly.
There was already a middle-aged man who looked like a bookkeeper and counted out a hundred gold coins from the box containing gold coins, put them into a small bag, and when Wang Ertao came over, he handed the belt containing the gold coins to Wang Ertao, Wang Ertao trembled as a result of the bag, and the moment he took the bag, his hand was a little unsteady, and he almost let the bag of gold coins fall to the ground.
Wang Ertao couldn't believe that he could get such a large sum of money in his lifetime, marrying a wife and having children was no longer a dream, and maybe he could marry a few more wives and hot kangtou.
