Section 243 The Fisherman and Preparing to Go

Because of the good money and the help of Jing Xunzhi, Shi Yi purchased a newly built three-masted sharp-bottomed clipper.

This kind of ship carries 30 to 50 people, although the number of people is not much, but the speed is much faster than ordinary ships, and it is the most advanced sea ship in Lianguo.

Generally, it may take two to three months for a ship to travel from Lianguo to Caiguo, but this kind of sharp-bottomed clipper only needs more than a month for the same distance, which can shorten the journey by nearly half.

This is what Shi Yi is most satisfied with, as for why Shi Yi only has one person, but he chose this kind of big ship that can carry at least thirty people, there is also a reason.

When going out to sea, especially staying above the sea for long periods of time, safety is the most important thing.

Compared with small boats, this kind of large ship is undoubtedly much more stable above the sea surface, less prone to capsizing, and the level of comfort is not comparable to that of small boats.

Compared with the two, it is better to have a big ship, which is why Shi Yi chose this ship.

However, sailing at sea is different from boating on the lake, and only one boat family is needed to control the inner lake and river.

To handle such a large, pointed-bottom clipper with ease, it would require the cooperation of many crew members.

Shi Yi roughly calculated that if he wanted to control the ship normally, he needed two helmsmen at the helm, two sail operators, one helmsman to deal with the fierce currents, one anchor to stop the ship and lower anchor, and one sea master to observe the changes in the currents and weather conditions.

With the addition of the captain and the first mate, the two figures who were in charge of the whole ship, there were as many as nine people who went to sea with Shi Yi on this trip.

This is already the number of people who have been refined to the limit, and if you want to maintain the normal operation of the ship, you cannot reduce the number of personnel.

Fortunately, Shi Yi started recruiting crew members very early, and by the time Shi Yi recovered, he was almost full of manpower.

It's only the captain, and Shi Yi originally wanted to find a veteran who had been to the country of talent.

After many investigations, there is no such person in Lianguo at all.

Since there is no such old horse, Shi Yi can only find an experienced old captain to replace him, after all, the living cannot let urine suffocate to death.

"Mr. Shi, see if we can get ready to sail. Just when Shi Yi was distracted, an old man came to Shi Yi's side and asked.

This person's surname is Yu Yu, who is the captain recruited by Shi Yi, although he has never been to Caiguo, but he is also experienced, and he has thirty years of experience in going to sea.

And because he goes out to sea to fish all year round, he has experienced countless winds and waves and is still safe, and he is respected as a fisherman by his peers.

"Well, now that you're ready, let's go as soon as possible. Shi Yi nodded when he heard this, and said to the fisherman.

For this stubborn old man, Shi Yi was actually a little helpless, because Shi Yi bought a new ship and had never sailed far.

So the fisherman had to hold a ritual to worship the god of the boat, praying that the god of the boat would bless them with a safe journey.

I didn't believe much in these Shi Yi, but he couldn't stand the fisherman's insistent request, so Shi Yi had to follow the other party's wishes.

After all, this fisherman is an expert in sea navigation, and Shi Yi has nothing to do.

However, counting the selection of the auspicious day of the zodiac to the holding of the ceremony, there was a delay of half a month.

Just after the ceremony of sacrificing to the god of the boat, Shi Yi has been outside the god wanderer, and then there is a scene of the fisherman asking.

After giving the order, Shi Yi stepped on the sampan and boarded the deck of the ship.

"Lift the anchor, raise the sails!" When everyone was ready, with the shouts of the fisherman, the hand began to push the winch, dragging the iron anchor sunk to the bottom of the sea out of the water little by little.

Just as the two men were about to unfurl the sails, Shi Yi suddenly saw several figures on horses on the dock rushing towards here.

At the same time, he was still waving towards here, and the first person was Jing Xunzhi.

Seeing this, Shi Yi had to order the crew to set sail slowly.

Shi Yi was a little surprised by Jing Xunzhi's appearance, Shi Yi had already said that he didn't have to send him off, but I don't know why he appeared here again.

Although Shi Yi did not help him snatch the throne, he had already made his position clear through Zhong Xingce.

Not to mention the others, at least Jing Xunzhi doesn't have to worry anymore, there will be no one from the Fist Heart Society to assassinate him.

This can be regarded as Jing Xunzhi's reward for helping Shi Yi recruit crews and find ships in the past two months.

Now that the favor has been paid off, I don't know what else Jing Xunzhi has to do this time.

"Slow, slow. Jing Xunzhi and the others dismounted their horses and shouted as they came in the direction of the boat.

"Mr. Shi, I'm really sorry for delaying your trip to sea, and I didn't want to come to disturb me.

However, I can't stand the fact that one of my cronies has come to the door and begged many times, so I have to bite the bullet and ask you for help. Jing Xunzhi walked quickly in front of Shi Yi, his posture was very low, knowing that Shi Yi was extraordinary, and he had always spoken very politely.

Especially after Shi Yi single-handedly made the Fist Club give up the pursuit of him.

Zhong Xingce is very prestigious in the underground world of Lianguo, and in a sense, Zhong Xingce's speech is more useful than the emperor of Lianguo in the martial arts.

Shi Yi can make Zhong Xingce personally promise that he will not assassinate Jing Xunzhi again, so when others want to assassinate Jing Xunzhi again, they will weigh it to some extent.

It's not about weighing Jing Xunzhi's catties, but about whether it will anger Zhong Xingce because of this.

It can be said that after this incident, Jing Xunzhi will no longer worry, and his two imperial brothers will find someone to assassinate him.

At least until the death of Jing Xunzhi's father, the game of competing for the throne will be framed on the table.

Not counting the grace of saving lives, this little bit of Shi Yi helped Jing Xunzhi a lot.

"It's okay to say something directly, but I'm going to say it in front of me, if it's a matter in the Lian Kingdom, I can't help it when I start my journey. Shi Yi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and then said directly.

"Naturally, it's not the time of Lianguo, and I don't dare to trouble you anymore, I just want to ask for my cronies this time, can you still bring a few people on this ship to go to Caiguo together. Jing Xunzhi said to Shi Yi with a wry smile.

After Shi Yi inquired carefully, he learned that Shi Yi had entrusted Jing Xunzhi to help find a ship and crew, and the news that he was going to Caiguo had inadvertently leaked out.

An important confidant of Jing Xunzhi also heard about this, and then began to inquire about Jing Xunzhi in many ways.

As mentioned before, there have been quite a few people who have gone to Cai Country in Lianguo over the years, but no one has returned to Lianguo.

This includes Jing Xunzhi, the brother of his cronies, who went to Caiguo to do business and never returned, and now three years have passed.

For such a long time, their dearest relatives felt that the person must be gone, otherwise they wouldn't have gone forever.

Even Jing Xunzhi's cronies felt that his brother might have been shipwrecked and had died in a foreign country.

However, one of their close relatives was always convinced that he was not dead.

That is the niece of Jing Xunzhi, a close confidant, and also the biological daughter of his brother.
