Chapter 278: The Pathfinder Team Sets Sail
For a long time, Jing Gongyan is very satisfied with this son, sensible, young and old, without the flamboyance and naivety of young people, his head is good, his academic performance is good, and he is not pedantic, he has a good character, he is decisive, and he has never let him worry about it.
It's the same this time, Jing Gongyan believes that his son will definitely not be untargeted, maybe there are some unrealistic fantasies of teenagers, but it will definitely not be the main part.
"Doesn't the school have martial arts classes? Why bother?" Although she agreed in her heart, Jing Gongyan still asked, "Moreover, although Xin'an is not far from Shennong, there is always a bit of a toss when it comes back and forth frequently!"
"Tossing, the father doesn't have to worry about the child at all, even if the child joins the martial arts hall, he can only go once a week on the day of the holiday, and he can't toss back and forth frequently. After laughing.
"Hehe, my father almost forgot that my son was still a middle school student. Jing Gongyan smiled awkwardly, and continued: "In that case, you can only practice for one day in seven days, and it won't have much effect on your martial arts guidance, right?"
"The martial arts instruction in the martial arts hall is just the icing on the cake, and the child is confident that even if he only relies on the superficial guidance in the school, he can go further than the average person in martial arts. Speaking of which, the waist pole is straight and sharp.
"Tell me your reasons!" his son's self-confidence made Jing Gongyan very appreciative.
"In addition to Gongsun Ce, Bao Qingtian also has Zhan Zhaohe Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu by his side; ”
“... Go early and come back early!"
......
On August 17, the wharf of Qihuan Town, which was already crowded with people, docked ten ships of different styles and functions on the sea in front of the wharf, forming a pathfinder team to explore and open up the Maritime Silk Road.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, most of the members of the pathfinder team had already boarded the ship and were ready to go, and only a few leaders of the pathfinder team remained on the pier to say goodbye to the people who saw them off.
Li Kang stood at the front of the send-off crowd, followed by senior cabinet officials and naval commanders, fleet admirals, officials of Qi Huan Town, businessmen like Qian Sanjiang who had made significant contributions to the formation of the pathfinder team, and of course, Li Kang's harem.
After the smallpox incident, Li Kang intentionally or unintentionally acquiesced to the members of the harem to go out more, this time when he came to Qihuan Town, he brought out all his wives except for Tan Yunxian, who had just given birth, and the three older sons were brought over by their mothers - the fourth son Li Jiusheng was handed over by Li Kang to Xue Tao to raise- First, everyone came out to relax, breathe the outside air, which is good for physical and mental health; second, Li Kang's whole family went into battle together, such a large formation is enough to express his importance to the pathfinder team, and at the same time, it can also increase the favorability and loyalty of the members of the pathfinder team.
"Whether the development of Huaxia is a difficult trek or a speeding car depends on Zhu Qing's experience. On the trestle, Li Kang looked affectionately at the five leaders of the pathfinder team standing in front of him, and said solemnly.
These five people are Zhang Qian, the leader of the pathfinder team (the one who sent the Western Han envoy to the Western Regions, and is currently the first deacon of the Hedong Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Chi Jin, the deputy captain in charge of military affairs (the captain of the Second Fleet), and the deputy captain in charge of internal affairs and logistics, Liban Saoma (a native of the Wu'er, the first Chinese in history to visit Europe, born in Bei*jing in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, and currently a second deacon of the Hedong Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Wu Bingjian, the deputy captain in charge of commerce and trade (the richest man in the world during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, one of the thirteen great merchants in Guangzhou, and currently the first deacon of the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Pei Xiu, the deputy captain in charge of geographical mapping (a geographer and cartographic theorist in the Western Jin Dynasty, and the same name as the ancient Greek philosopher Ptolemy, and the current second deacon of the Department of Maritime Affairs of the Ministry of Communications).
In addition to being late in the morning, the other four people had already been summoned by Li Kang, but they didn't have a suitable position for a while, and they had been teaching in a cameo at Xin'an University.
There are many historical celebrities like them, and Li Kang will summon one as long as he thinks of one, whether he can use it immediately or not, it is always right to have it.
And now it's not like at the beginning, a celebrity can jump to a high position, such as the bigwigs in the cabinet and the Privy Council, and now it's obviously a bit out of place to do this, Li Kang can't help those old people who have been in the same boat with him and started from the bottom, so even if these latecomers can become officials, they can only be the first-class deacon of a certain division (from the fifth grade), but this is actually very high, and it can be on the same level as the county order of the big county- Of course, the deacons in the general division cannot be compared with the county magistrates with real power at the moment, and they are worse than the mayors with real power - and therefore, although these latecomers have been 'idle' for a long time, they have few complaints on the whole.
......
Li Kang entrusted him so cautiously, the five of them all felt a heavy weight on their shoulders, and they made serious promises to Li Kang one by one.
"Okay, it's not too early, and I won't delay your auspicious time, drink this glass of wine, let's go!" Li Kang took a glass of wine from behind him and handed them to the five people in front of him one by one.
At 9:30 a.m., the pathfinder set sail on time and set off with the hopes of Li Kang and the entire shogunate.
When the mast of the last ship in the fleet disappeared into the sky, Foreign Minister Yang Pingwei reminded him loudly.
“... Let's go back!" Li Kang retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "Everyone has also been busy all morning, and some people are afraid that they won't have time to eat breakfast, so let the canteen prepare it and go to eat." As he spoke, he glanced back at the new mayor of Qihuan Town, Tan Gang (Tan Yunxian's father), the former mayor Qi Yu had been promoted to the Standing Committee of the Shennong County Party Committee and the director of the performance appraisal department.
Although Tan Gang is Li Kang's legitimate father-in-law, in the face of this son-in-law, he didn't dare to play a big name, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the promise.
When others heard this, it was naturally a piece of gratitude and sycophancy, what 'the king is sympathetic to the ministers', 'the king's benevolence is unparalleled', 'the king is considerate' and the like, and then it ends with 'the minister's inscription five inside', just like the rehearsal.
Qian Xiaoyi and the only few peers were huddled in the crowd, disgusting and almost vomiting out yesterday's overnight dinner, sneering at the group of sanctimonious adults around him, including his dear father.
Why didn't he vomit breakfast? Because he hadn't eaten, he was dragged from the bed to the dock by his father.
"I can finally eat!" Qian Xiaoyi touched his shriveled belly and muttered, "From this point of view, the king is still very good!"
