Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

Two hours later, Lu Yuan took Hun Jianglong back to the dock.

Wu Yue has already selected 50 candidates and is waiting aside with a list.

Most of these 50 people are officials from the Ministry of Industry.

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan with extremely grateful eyes, and their faces were full of excitement.

There are only a dozen or so strong pyrotechnics.

Obviously, they did not want to return to the imperial city, but just wanted to make a fortune.

This is in line with Lu Yuan's expectations.

After all, my trip to sea this time was not about fighting.

It is much better to have more literati with good ethics than rough and reckless men.

Lu Yuan looked at everyone and said with a faint smile, "Have Director Wu told you the specific matter?"

"said!"

Ma Baocai, a counselor at the Ministry of Industry, said excitedly, "It has been nearly four months since I came to Liaocheng. My wife and children at home miss me very much."

"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for letting us return to the imperial city!"

"What?"

Lu Yuan was slightly startled, then said with a puzzled smile, "Who said I want you to go back to the imperial city?"

As he said that, he turned to look at Wu Yue with interest, "Mr. Wu, what did this prince say just now?"

"I want you to help me count who wants to make a fortune or is tired of working in Liaocheng."

"How did you deliver the message?"

"My subordinate... my subordinate has neglected his duty."

Wu Yue was covered in cold sweat, and was embarrassed and at a loss for the moment.

Originally, he definitely thought that Lu Yuan planned to release a group of courtiers back to the imperial city.

So he directly conveyed his guess to everyone as Lu Yuan's intention.

Unexpectedly, I guessed wrong?
"Everyone, you will be away for a while, and you won't be able to return to Liaocheng yet."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "However, you won't need to work hard to build ships in the future."

"I found a better job for you."

Ma Baocai and others were disappointed for a moment, and asked listlessly, "Master, what's the errand?"

"At the latest by the end of this month, I will take a boat to sea and go to Tianzhu Kingdom."

Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Now, we have a boat and a guide. The only thing missing is a helper."

"So, I specially found an instructor for you."

"We will train each of you to become a proficient sailor within a month!"

"What?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened, with shock on their faces.

The good job that the prince said is to let them be the crew?
Being a crew member is not an easy job.

They often have to drift on the sea for ten and a half days, and there is a risk that the boat will capsize and people will be killed if there is a storm.

Not to mention, if you encounter pirates at sea, your property may be lost, or your life may be at risk.

For a time, many people couldn't help but retreat.

Ma Baocai said with a sad face, "Master, we... we think shipbuilding is good."

"Will you let me stay here and continue building the ship?"

Many people looked at Wu Yue with pleading eyes, wanting to cross off their names.

At this time, Wu Yue learned the lesson and hid the list behind his back, looking around as if nothing had happened, as if it had nothing to do with him.

The prince wants to find a group of crew members. Where can he recruit them so easily?
It was just under the guise of returning to the imperial city that they tricked such a group of unlucky people.

If they let them go and let them go back and spread the news, where would they go to recruit people?
"Everyone, since you have signed your name on the list, there is no room for regrets."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, be my crew member, I will not treat you badly."

"During the month of training, each person will be given 30 taels of silver and fifty shi of food and rice."

"When the time comes to go to sea, I will give you 60 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain and rice every month."

"In addition, when Cangluyuan recruits the next batch of students, a place will be reserved for each of your children."

"In case of any accident at sea, your family members can receive a generous pension..."

Hearing Lu Yuan's generous conditions, the officials from the Ministry of Industry had no reaction.

For them, no amount of money is as valuable as returning home.

But the dozen or so pyrotechnics clenched their fists excitedly, their faces full of gratitude and excitement.

"Thank you, my son!"

"I will train hard and fight to the death for the Crown Prince!"

They now work at the dock and can only receive six taels of silver per month.

And if you go to sea with the prince, you can get 60 taels of silver.

This is equivalent to a hundred times the current reward!
As long as a single person works for a month, he can settle down, marry a wife, and have a glorious wedding.

As for those who have a family and a house, they only need to work for three to five months, and their family can have enough food and clothing for several years.

Where can I find such a good deal?

In the whole world, only the prince has such heroic deeds!
Lu Yuan nodded with a satisfied smile and turned to look at Hun Jianglong.

"Loach, I will leave these 50 people to you."

"If you need any money, wood or iron supplies, just ask the Liaocheng County Government for them."

"I don't ask you to let them all learn to sail within a month."

"However, they must become qualified sailors, or at least understand what they are supposed to do."

"Your Majesty, I understand."

Hun Jianglong nodded and frowned with some doubts.

"However, regarding the intensity and scale of training, I still need to ask the prince for instructions."

Lu Yuan saw Hun Jianglong's concerns and said with a smile, "Loach, you don't have to worry about this."

"As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death."

"In the imperial court, they are officials, but here at Liaocheng Pier, they are my quasi-sailors."

"Who dares to stab you, dare to pick a fight, or dare to use his or her status to suppress you?"

"Don't be merciful, just slap them."

After that, Lu Yuan took off the belt from his waist and handed it to Hun Jianglong as Shang Fang's treasured whip.

These words were not just for Hun Jianglong.

It also made all the officials from the Ministry of Industry present feel a sinking feeling.

Based on their status, this unknown instructor may not dare to be too harsh on them.

However, with the words of the prince.

Then their fate is a bit worrying.

"Okay, just go ahead~"

Lu Yuan patted Hun Jianglong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Come on, I'll come see you in a few days."

Hun Jianglong, who was busy sharpening his sword, and fifty unlucky guys who were shivering were left behind.

Lu Yuan left with peace of mind and returned to the county government mansion.

He asked Liu Ninglu to deliver the message and called Lingju, Xu Ling and others over.

He has no intention of returning to the imperial city for a while.

After all, his every move over there was being watched by Qing Cang Wei.

But in Liaocheng, you can be considered free and at ease, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

The silly brother helps him organize the complicated affairs in the county.

He only needs to take Wei Ling and others to eat and drink every day and enjoy the blessings of everyone.

From time to time, I would go to the county government office to visit Lu Qing and give him some chicken soup.

When I have free time, I go to the dock to watch the training of my crew.

Speaking of Hun Jianglong, he really deserves to be a naval governor.

When training these Ministry of Industry officials, they were not lenient at all and directly copied the original training methods for sailors.

They are strictly required to soak in water for at least eight hours every day. Especially when practicing holding one's breath, if anyone didn't stick their head out for the right time, Hun Jianglong would just whip him over.

If he poked his head out for the second time, Hun Jianglong would no longer be polite and directly grabbed his head and pushed it into the water.

These officials from the Ministry of Industry live in chaos, despair and doubt about their lives every day.

They all stood out in the scientific examination and entered the court as officials based on their own abilities.

Moreover, the official positions in the Ministry of Industry are second only to those in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

If they were in the imperial court, they would not need to be corrupt officials, and they would be able to live a prosperous life.

As a result, he was lucky enough to meet the prince.

They were summoned to Liaocheng overnight and worked hard at the dock for three months.

Seeing that he was finally able to survive, he had to go through the hell training of Hun Jianglong again.

If I had known earlier, I might as well have been farming at home. This is not an official job!
In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of the month.

Lu Yuan looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally received the message sent by Zheng Sanbao.

"Your Majesty, Grandpa Sanbao has decided to leave on the second day of next month and lead the fleet to sail to the West again. The first stop will be the Kingdom of Tianzhu."

"If the prince wants to go with us, please sail to the north ferry of the Imperial City and wait before the first day of the new year."

"it is good!"

Lu Yuan cheered up and generously rewarded the young eunuch with 20 taels of gold.

He immediately left the mansion and headed straight for the dock.

After nearly a month of training, his fifty crew members have become completely different.

All of them were tanned and had strong muscles.

There is no trace of the pampered Ministry of Industry officials back then.

"Listen to orders!"

Hunjianglong stood on the shore with arms folded and shouted loudly: "Get into the water!"

"Yes!"

The 50 people shouted in unison, and then jumped into the river one by one with neat movements without hesitation.

Everyone dived to the bottom of the river, motionless, with only a string of bubbles popping up from above their heads.

Lu Yuan was so nervous that he subconsciously held his breath as he just watched.

Hun Jianglong kept his eyes fixed on the river, not worried at all that anyone would drown.

After a full 5 minutes, he finally shouted, "Breathe!"

50 people all raised their heads out of the water, which only lasted for a second.

Then he plunged into the river again in an instant, as quickly and neatly as a robot.

Lu Yuan witnessed the entire training process.

Hun Jianglong shouted for breath six times in total.

These people were stunned to dive in the river for half an hour, and they only popped their heads out to breathe for six seconds.

"it is good!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but admired, "Loach, you are really good at it!"

"It seems that these people have become qualified crew members!"

"Hey, that's natural."

Hun Jianglong stood with his arms folded and said quite proudly, "These people are the most carefully trained group of newcomers in our family's life."

"Their abilities go far beyond just diving."

"is it?"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I have a chance recently to show me what they are capable of."

"Oh?"

Hun Jianglong said excitedly, "Master, are we going to sea?"

"good."

Lu Yuan said calmly, "But you can't go."

This time he went to sea with Zheng He.

Of course no one knows Hun Jianglong in Liaocheng.

But if you meet Zheng He, you will definitely recognize him at a glance.

After all, it was Zheng He who captured him from the sea in the first place.

Hun Jianglong looked disappointed, but didn't say much.

Lu Yuan looked at Ma Baocai and others and said calmly, "Everyone, you have worked hard after this month of training."

"Starting from tomorrow, I will give you a few days off. Go home and spend time with your family."

"Three days later, everyone packed their bags and boarded the ship to set off."

"Let's go to Tianzhu with Zheng He's fleet!"

"Yes!"

After a month of training, these people had long forgotten their identities as officials of the Ministry of Industry and became sailors who yearned for the sea.

At this moment, they have only one thought in their minds.

That is to soar across the vast sea as soon as possible and show what you have learned during this period.

After Lu Yuan's instructions, he returned to the mansion.

Gather Lingju, Su Liyan, Xu Ling, Liu Ninglu, Siren, and Guishu together.

Tell them about his plan to go to Tianzhu Kingdom.

"Although this trip to Tianzhu may be a bit dangerous."

Lu Yuan said seriously: "But Liaocheng and the Imperial City must retain talents."

"So, I can only take three people."

"The main purpose of going to Tianzhu this time is to find Tianxiang Dragon Song Grass for Ju'er, help her attack the Gu Immortal, and use the Forgetting Curse to save the emperor."

"So, Ju'er must go with me."

Lu Yuan tentatively said: "You guys can discuss the remaining two places among yourselves?"

However, after these words were spoken.

The girls were not as excited and crazy as he imagined.

On the contrary, everyone remained extremely calm, drinking when they should, and cooking when they should.

Lu Yuan's expression was a little strange, "Why, don't you want to go with me?"

"Do not want to."

Su Liyan was the first to express her stance, "I've been to that place in Tianzhu before."

"The weather is so damn hot, there are refugees everywhere, and the smell of sweat is in the air wherever I go."

"I'm not going, whoever wants to go can go."

Shai Ling also shrugged and said, "I won't go either."

"I can walk back and forth from Liaocheng to Imperial City in half an hour."

"But when I go to Tianzhu, I won't be able to eat sesame cakes and duck blood soup."

Liu Ninglu timidly said, "I heard from my master that there are Buddhist temples everywhere in Tianzhu, and there are many demon monks who catch ghosts and refine poison."

"Your Majesty, I won't go on this trip."

Guishu also had a cowardly look on his face, "My... magic power is too low, so I won't be able to help much if I go there. Master, you'd better find someone else."

As the number one militant, Siren naturally wanted to go.

However, everyone else was uncharacteristically resistant.

Naturally, he would not miss this rare opportunity to defeat Lu Yuan.

The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed to get off the stage.

What happened to these banshees and ghosts after a discussion?

In the past, if something happened, even if it was as small as a sesame seed, everyone would scramble to follow him.

As a result, when I went to Tianzhu this time, everyone was so inactive.

This is sincerely preventing him from getting off stage. (End of chapter)
