Although the people did not understand the principles and the construction, this did not prevent them from understanding the benefits of the sextant, because the detailed map already explained everything. 【Reading.com】

Most of the harbor cities have islands in the coastal areas, especially in the coastal waters of Ningbo. Shengsi Islands, Zhoushan Islands, this is famous, nameless islands are also numerous, the star compass is scattered on the sea east of Hangzhou Bay, constituting a beautiful picture.

Although the scenery is beautiful, there is a hidden murder motive inside, and because of the complex structure of the archipelago, it has always been a paradise for pirates. Compared to the unobstructed view of the sea, there are many places in the archipelago where you can hide your body and wait for the target to get close before launching a surprise attack.

Although few people have counted them, there are at least a thousand islands large and small, and no one has ever tried to draw them all on a chart, which is of little use, but more importantly, because no one can do it at all.

But the nautical chart seen in front of you, not only will these size islands one by one, and the location is also exactly the same, the most amazing thing is that this map even a lot of big reefs that are not islands have been marked, there are more than 2,000 islands, dense but not messy, what kind of mapping skills this is, and what kind of positioning technology!

When I looked at the sextant again, all my eyes became hot, whether it was to join the expedition or open up a trade route, this instrument was incomparably precious, with it, it could be accurately located on the vast sea, even if it was an accident such as a storm, and it would not be lost.

"Lord Yang, little brother Wuji, we can ...... this sextant" The tongue swirled in his mouth, Zheng Yuanwai didn't say the word to buy, this thing is too valuable, even if Lushun is willing to sell it, he may not be able to afford it, right?

"Of course, sextants, compasses, and telescopes are the navigation essentials of the Ming merchants in the future, without these, what is there to talk about conquering the world." Zeng Wuji began to offer treasures again, the left and right were so happy to dig out, and everyone was dazzled, and at the same time wondered, how could this little brother be so pretended in his arms, could it be that this is also the role of some kind of treasure?

"These nautical instruments are for public sale, the Royal Navy is drawing all kinds of charts, maps, now mainly in the East China Sea and the Bohai Sea, will soon move south, these charts, but also including the future of the charts you will hand in, are open to the people of the Ming Dynasty, of course, maps, information is required to contribute in exchange."

Without waiting for the others to carefully study the Three Treasures of Navigation in Zeng Wuji's hand, Yang Min's words attracted their attention again, they all felt that their brains were a little insufficient, there were too many new things, and they were really overwhelmed.

However, they once again confirmed one thing, that is, contribution is a good thing, and Hou Ye is also the biggest good person in the world, and the most wise person.

Unconsciously, they also changed their name to Xie Hong, Plague God? Hmph, that's the case for those idiots who don't open their eyes, for a person like himself, Hou Ye is the embodiment of the God of Wealth and the God of Fortune, because we are the people of the Ming Dynasty! It is also the first time that they have a full recognition of their identity as the people of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan people? What is that?

"Brother Wuji, how to use these things, can you teach us?" A few of the most anxious ones are already asking Zeng Wuji for advice.

"Okay, the compass is similar to Sinan, but there is an extra glass cover, waterproof and anti-bump ......" The compass is the original product of Huaxia, and everyone knows it at a glance, but it is still relatively rare to see something as exquisitely conceived as the compass in front of you, especially the glass cover outside.

"I have heard the name of Zhenbao Zhai, the things produced there are really high-quality products, but it's a pity that they were ...... Alas. "There are those sharp eyes, I saw the logo on the side, so I was also amazed, and at the same time, I regretted it, why did I follow the trend to boycott Zhenbao Zhai out of Jiangnan? Otherwise, wouldn't it have been possible to buy something earlier?

"This is not produced by the capital Zhenbao Zhai, but the instrument factory in Tianjin, I forgot to say just now, Jiangnan can open industries, also include these." Yang Min added with a smile: "What is in Tianjin's new policy, Jiangnan will have it, and the scale may be larger." ”

"Wow!" There is an uproar, this is all excited, there is no doubt that a golden strip has been rolled out, what these people have to do is to study carefully, and then choose the most suitable direction, unswervingly go on, the future will be bright and infinite.

"This is a telescope, how to use it, just pass through it and look into the distance...... By telescoping, you can also adjust the focal length, uh, which is the distance of the field of view. Zeng Wuji handed the telescope to a member of the staff, and then instructed the other party how to use it.

"Really, something so far away looks like it's right in front of you, as if you can catch it with a handful." As he spoke, the outsider really reached out and grabbed a handful in front of him, of course, he didn't catch anything, but the telescope in his hand was snatched away.

Yang Min continued: "The telescope is still limited for the time being, and you must sign a confidentiality agreement before you can buy it, if it is damaged, you need to return the wreckage, and if it is lost, Jumbo Zhai will also investigate." ”

"Understood, understood." Everyone nodded their heads, they could anticipate the enemy's opportunity, and the role of the telescope in military affairs was undoubted, and everyone in Jiangnan also understood.

Xie Hong was mainly guarding against enemies in the north, so he only sold them in the south, and also set a rule to limit sales. He didn't think about how long he could keep it secret, but with the speed of information dissemination in this era, after the grassland got the telescope, Lushun's firearms technology should be about the same, and then he could start attacking the grassland, the general trend is not something that one or two telescopes can change.

"As for the sextant, this one is a bit complicated, let me tell you about it......" The use of the sextant is not complicated, but for a group of people who have no concept of latitude and longitude, and even the common sense that the earth is round, it is quite difficult to use the sextant freely.

"Lord Yang, are the students of the Navigation Academy the same as Little Brother Wuji?" Most people were attracted by those new things, but there were also those who reacted quickly, from Zeng Wuji, to the previous topic.

"Wuji is the first batch of students, and he is also very smart, so he is the best among the first batch of interns, but according to the rules of the college, as long as you can get the qualification for internship, you are a person who has achieved success in learning and can apply the knowledge learned freely."

Yang Min also met Zeng Wuji on the journey, this young man's surname is cheerful, very clever, and very likable, so when he speaks, his tone also has a bit of the taste of the elders doting on the juniors.

"In other words, the graduates you mentioned earlier will use a sextant and can navigate?" The questioner's eyes lit up, and more people gathered around.

"Not necessarily, the academy is a very complex system, the navigation academy teaches all the knowledge of navigation, but there are also divisions, there are specialized in navigation, such people need to have considerable attainments in astronomy, geography, hydrology in order to graduate, the use of instrument positioning, is the foundation of the foundation, even if it is not a navigation major, it can also be applied, Mowgli is a navigation management major, his future development direction is the captain, and even the fleet admiral."

Yang Min paused, letting everyone digest what he had just said, and then continued:

"In addition to these majors with strong professional knowledge, the college also has junior colleges, that is, short-term courses, which are aimed at a certain skill, such as: steering, sailing, maintenance of ships, etc., the speed and operation of new ships are somewhat different from the past, if you do not carry out training for the surname, it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of the ship."

"So that's the case, no wonder Lord Yang said that this is a welfare, it's true, if there is no talent from this Navigation Academy, it will take at least a year or two more to work on our own." Someone lamented.

"Don't be stupid, what can we do in a year or two with us alone? The academy is full of talents cultivated by Hou Ye himself, and one can at least top the kind of ten you teach. Someone retorted disdainfully.

"That's, that's, I'm talking about being able to drive the boat, hehe, how can I compare my skills with Master Hou?" The man who was refuted was not annoyed, still smiling.

"Lord Yang, can I make a reservation now? As long as it's a college graduate, I want it. After the change of attitude towards college talents, more people have realized the value of talents.

"My requirements are lower, even if I haven't graduated, don't you say that there are internships? I'm an intern too. ”

"I want to open an instrument factory, can I hire craftsmen from the academy?"

"I want to ......"

"I want to ......"

From questioning to pursuing, transformation happens in a short moment, and the examples in front of you are always the most convincing. Zeng Wuji's appearance is an important factor that leads to the current hot scene.

"Lord Yang, what are the conditions for admission to the academy, can I send my children to school?" The wisdom of the masses is unlimited, and the form of wishing for Jackie Chan is also eclectic, whether it is for the future of their children or for the future of the family to have enough talent supply, many people have the idea of letting their children go to school.

It's not too late now, with the development of overseas, the gap of various talents will only get bigger and bigger, not the other way around, there are many children who have no success in reading sage books at home, or who are not thinking about reading sage books, and it is not better to take the opportunity to find a new future?

"Lord Yang, does Master Hou have an order, will the academy come to Jiangnan to open a branch?" The influence of the academy has finally gone out of the capital, and it is in such a form, both the process and the result can be called perfect.

Yang Min said in a loud voice: "Yes, what everyone said will be realized in the near future." ”

"Great!" Cheers thundered.
