Due to the full consideration of safety, the passenger ship put into operation by the Huang family avoids the occurrence of marine accidents as much as possible, and the construction cost is not low.

Even so, when calculating the value of the ticket, the input cost is not calculated, and it is enough to make a small profit after the cost of maintaining the passenger ship is discarded during operation.

There is another new thing about the Huangjia passenger ship, passengers who buy subsidized cabin tickets must go to the driving cabin to drive the propeller for two hours every day under the organization of the crew.

Every time the tickets for the subsidized cabin will be sold out first, because after all, it is cheaper by 30%, and the passengers have nothing to do on the ship.

This is undoubtedly a win-win situation, the sailors of the passenger ship are mainly responsible for the safety of navigation by handling the sails, as long as one or two sailors are arranged to direct the passengers to take the manpower drive, under the premise of not reducing the speed of the ship, the passenger ship will of course improve efficiency and reduce operating costs by using fewer sailors.

The long road from Tianjin Wei to Yazhou on Hainan Island, when there is no Huangjia passenger ship, travel is simply a dream for the small people of Shengdou.

I am afraid that it will take several months to walk all the way, and it will cost at least one or twenty taels of silver for one person, and I must beware that the road is not very smooth, and whether I can make it to the destination alive depends on the will of God.

Huangjiafei scissor clipper only takes about half a month to reach the destination, convenient and fast charges are not high, subsidized cabin tickets one two or four silver, ordinary cabin two taels of silver, the first class is a little expensive, sell silver 38 taels per person, economy class sells nine taels of silver.

This is the kind of ordinary cabin price and preferential treatment for soldiers, of course, it is free for soldiers, and military families enjoy a discount by virtue of the waist card to prove their identity.

The Huang family's preferential treatment of soldiers is reflected in any place, and in such an atmosphere, every family longs to have relatives join the army.

Soldiers, military families are not only glorious, but also get too many benefits and privileges, the Huang family system no one is jealous, but compete to follow suit, the Huang family's slogan is "soldiers shed blood for the country, the country seeks happiness for the soldiers!" ”

The Spring Festival of the Huang family system has also become popular year by year, and the common people have savings to go south and north to spend the reunion year, of course, there are too many Ming merchants who choose to travel on the Huang family's safe and secure passenger ship as much as possible.

Xu Guangqi, who was curious about the Huang family system, was also uneasy, waiting to reunite with his family in Yazhou, so he asked Sun Yuanhua to take leave and accompany him to Jiaozhi's homeland.

These two scientists just heard that Jiaozhi had been completely taken over by the Huang family, and they didn't know that it had become a paradise.

When he came to the 'New Suzhou', he saw the Hanfu fluttering all over the city, and saw the fiery red banner embroidered with the word "Ming" flying high in the city, and he couldn't cry.

This is the patriotic complex of an intellectual, and his feelings about Huang Sheng have been raised too much.

Because he found that the territories captured by the king of Qiongya County actually obeyed the Ming system and played the banner of the Ming Dynasty, the scientist Lao Huai was relieved and strengthened his determination to contribute to Yazhou.

Not only that, but he also wrote to his protégés and former officials, asking them to come to Hainan Island and Jiaozhi Province to have a look, telling them that there are too many talents needed here, and there are opportunities everywhere.

The low-key Xu Guangqi has never competed for fame and fortune in the Donglin Party, but his character has made other party members talk about it, and his appeal is also incomparable.

As a result, many scholars and scholars who were not very keen on party struggle and were marginalized by the Donglin Party boarded the Huangjia passenger ship from south to north, and many scholars broadened their horizons, and the internal struggle of dog bite dog began to be despised by many knowledgeable scholars.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Huang Sheng still celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve with civilian officials and military generals, everyone gathered at the Yazhou Grand Theater to drink and watch the show, and Xu Guangqi, who was old and relieved, actually sang a song of Linjiang Immortal Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water of Yang Shen, the champion of this dynasty.

Huang Sheng didn't reunite with his family, because Lan Caier went to Beijing on business, and Zhao Rui had too many things to do and had to stay on 'Huaxia Island', so sure enough, she was pregnant again.

The women who are celebrating the New Year together this year are the eldest woman Chu'er, and the concubines Hexiang and Gu Ling'er.

When the New Year's firecrackers sounded, it meant that Huang Sheng had been through the Ming Dynasty for a whole ten years, and the extraordinary ten years were all in the flash, and all kinds of the past were vivid, and Huang Sheng was not only full of emotion.

He is already twenty-eight years old in this era, four years older than Emperor Chongzhen, plus the age of later generations, he should be an old man in his old age.

Huang Sheng looked at his sturdy body and a group of energetic young civil officials and military generals, full of spirit.

Ten years of sharpening a sword, those children who followed their own learning have now become men who stand up to the sky, those Ming soldiers who first followed themselves, now most of them are senior officers, they are the year of establishment, it is the age of self-reliance in personality, self-reliance in knowledge, and self-reliance in career.

These newly educated, young and middle-aged officers were full of enthusiasm, and they were all looking forward to the large-scale expansion and conquest that was about to begin.

The officers of the Huang family are definitely knowledgeable and young, and the same is true of the civilian officials, and their ability to accept new things is unquestionable, and everyone is studying a reference book that has just been published by the Huang family on Malacca, the Malay Peninsula, and Sumatra.

Now the soldiers have a general understanding of Sumatra, know what diseases they should pay attention to prevent and control, know how many enemies are about to be attacked, and know how much their combat effectiveness is.

They even knew that the island with its long coastline had few natural harbors, because the waves that rolled up high in the Indian Ocean were pushed ashore in a long row, two or three rows, and they were so powerful that they could lift fishing boats to the top of the waves and then flip them underwater.

Just after the end of the new year, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the king of Qiongya County issued a mobilization order, and the large-scale military exercises in Jiaozhi Province and Hainan Island kicked off vigorously.

This time, the head of the family will lead 18,000 general armies with more than 36,000 regular soldiers and auxiliaries to Malacca to seize Sumatra.

These Qianzong cavalry were used intensively, and all the vacated troops were immediately full, because the quality of the Huang family's auxiliaries and senior village warriors was getting higher and higher, and the number was doubling every year, and there were too many people looking forward to becoming regular soldiers.

The war horses of Li Dagang and Gu Yicang, two thousand and 5,000 cavalrymen, were already in place, and the adaptive training had already begun.

Officers at all levels met the Sumatra sand table in the Zan Painting Department, and Lin Chaoping dispatched more than a dozen Sumatran Han people, who had become intelligence officers of the Malacca Military Intelligence Department, to explain the customs, topography, and climate of the island to all the officers at or above the rank of the general flag.

The navy is also being assembled, and more than 200 new-type warships and about 700 merchant ships will be dispatched in this battle, and the number of naval personnel participating in the battle will not be less than 50,000.
