Back at home, just as he was about to look at the addresses of the letters, Chen Siwen walked in, looking very tired. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I was a little worried when I heard you talk about the country called Spain. You say that country is really that big? Bigger than us? The ships carrying gold and silver are going back one by one? In the past few days, my mind has been full of these things, and my heart is panicked. Tell me the truth, what is that country really like? ”

Chen Siwen stared at Chen Jian and said slowly: "How can I say that I am also an officer, and some things must always be taken care of." In this country, someone has to stand up to protect it, right? You say that the country will destroy the country at every turn, and I am not sure in my heart. Isn't their ship better than ours? What about guns? What about people? ”

"People?"

Hearing this word, Jian Chen exhaled and said, "That white man named Yang Sen told such a thing. A few decades ago, there was a group of about one or two hundred people who went to a country in the south. That country has millions of people, tens of thousands of troops. The men entered the capital, and with one or two hundred men they took their king, demanded two houses of gold, and fled with all their might. At least this courage is very scary. ”

This story is the first time Chen Siwen has heard of it, and after listening to it, he yearns for it leisurely, imagining what kind of heroic posture it is. After all, he is a soldier, and he is full of yearning and longing for this kind of story.

"100 people destroy the country...... It's a character. If not lying. ”

"Not lying."

"You say, he's going to beat us?"

Jian Chen shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." They believed in a kind of god, and they would force those who did not believe in it. The purpose of their voyage was to spread the belief in this deity to every corner of the earth. ”

Chen Siwen said hesitantly: "If that's the case, I would like to see this group of soldiers who are one against one hundred." I'd love to fight them. ”

Chen Jian looked at his father and joked: "When we hit the door, we really don't have to be afraid." There are strong winds and waves at sea, and there are not many soldiers to be transported. But if you're on the sea far from your homeland, you're no match for them right now. At the very least, someone else's captain can go around the globe, you can't. Sailors and captains, decades behind them. If you don't like to hear it, if it's on land, our army doesn't need to be afraid. ”

That's a true statement. There is more than enough self-preservation at sea, and if you attack, you may have to catch up for a few days, but it is still beneficial to take advantage of this opportunity to fight more and learn more, otherwise you will face a more difficult opponent in the future.

Chen Siwen has a lot of meaning that the old man is determined to be thousands of miles away, but unfortunately he doesn't know that his son of a cheating father has broken his dream of being a general.

After being silent for a long time, he said mournfully: "Yes." Other captains can circle the earth, and we're afraid we won't be able to find such a person. Charts, wind direction, islands...... They know these things better than we do. ”

He raised his head and pondered for a while, seemed to be a little melancholy, sighed a few times, and said with a wry smile: "It would be nice to be younger." It's a pity that it's old. Isn't their ship huge? ”

"It's big."

"Do you think we can fight them?"

When asked this question the second time, Jian Chen didn't know if it was because his father was old, or because he had always been obsessed with this matter, or because he had a special mentality as an officer.

"There has to be a reason to fight. It's useless for us to ask for their land, the people above speak their language, and they believe in the gods they believe in, even if they occupy it, they will face endless resistance, and the gains outweigh the losses. They may not dare to fight our homeland, but the fight outside is difficult to say. ”

"Fight or not, that's the above thing. How we fight and whether we can win or not is our business. ”

sighed with emotion, left Jian Chen and returned to his room, knelt on the desk and began to write what he wanted to know above, and he had never been so serious about his strokes.

Whether or not he can adopt it is a matter of the above, and he can only fulfill his obligations as an officer.

“…… Therefore, I suggested that the Navy also organize a round-the-world voyage to record the direction of the wind to the islands and train sailors. If possible, it would be a good idea to send some young people to study in those new countries......"

The last word was written on the paper, the contents were carefully checked, and the seal was pressed.

…………

Mincheng is also immersed in the carnival of knowing the outside world, and this is the topic of conversation in the market every day.

Those sailors who followed Chen Jian to the sea became the darlings of the market, and when they sat in the teahouse, they didn't need a storyteller, and a group of people would gather around in an instant.

People are also happy to believe some of the obvious exaggerations.

For ordinary citizens, apart from a few more stories and talking points, the impact on their lives is not too great.

It's nothing more than the start of some new seasonings on the market, sweet and sour, all different.

Gradually, some sailors began to learn to smoke a yellow tobacco. It was a little disgusting at first, but after a long time, it actually had a different taste, and I missed it for a while.

With the emergence of a large amount of sucrose, which is cheaper than maple syrup in the north, some people will also add a little sucrose to their tea.

In particular, some hired workers often order a large bowl of tea and a little sugar after working on a hot day. After pouring it, it will be like a mule that has just been drunk, and there will be a rattling in the stomach.

For Janssen, a white man who has been under house arrest by Chen Jian and is now allowed to move freely, people are also used to pointing fingers from the beginning to the end. Except for some children who are still behind them, people have gradually become indifferent, and maybe there will be such people in the future, after all, everyone has their own life to go on.

More and more poor hired workers found trading companies, hoping to follow them to the sea and to the Great Wilderness City. It is indeed a barren land, but after a few years of working there, you will have a land that you are allowed to cultivate, and you will be much happier than working here.

The colonial company's recruitment policy also began to change gradually. From the beginning, everyone is the same, but now the salary for the past few years is set according to their respective skills and occupations, and some craftsmen such as bricklayers and carpenters are especially welcome.

This is the effect of the new world outside on the bottom.

For the merchants, the trade legends that Jian Chen instigated filled them with illusions.

Jian told them that the Spanish fleet was carrying gold and silver back in whole ships, sometimes entire ships of gold bars.

Such legends made the merchants think about how they could earn so much gold and silver in the future.

Foreign gold and silver are also gold and silver.

Moreover, Chen Jian told them that cotton, raw silk, furniture, glass, and so on are easy to sell.

As long as the trading company is settled, it will be beneficial to everyone.

Not only the merchants, but also the workshop owners, the better they sell, the more they earn.

I've heard that there are pirates, fevers, dysentery, and the like, but if you can make a lot of money, these things can be overcome, and they are not so scary.

On one side is fanatical demagoguery.

On the other hand, there is Chen Jian's credibility and fame, as well as the legend of becoming a wealthy man in Mincheng from an ordinary person over the years.

Every day, there will be tabloids printed with some interesting insights written by Chen Jian, and every day there will be tabloids printed with Chen Jian's description of the ways of making a fortune in the outside world, and the stories of those amazing adventurers that Chen Jian knows.

Hundreds of people destroyed the country, and the ships were extremely rich...... All this has made the hearts of some young people stir.

A vigorous momentum began in Mincheng.
