    A few days passed by in a flash, and soon it was the sixth day of June, and this day was the day set to set sail for the Golden Continent.

    On this day, Liu Jin got up very early. Instead of staying in bed as before, he got up early, washed himself, had breakfast, and arrived at Tianjin Port.

    Of course, in this era, there is nothing much to do at night, and those with wives can still hug their wives and do some things that everyone likes to do. A bachelor like Liu Jin naturally goes to bed early and gets up early.

    It is June now, which means it has entered midsummer. The weather is hot and it is difficult to fall asleep. If it were winter, Liu Jin estimated that he would still cat in bed for a while.

    By the time Liu Jin arrived at the Tianjin port, the entire port had already been busy, and fishing boats that got up early and set out slowly sailed out of the port with the sound of real bells.

    There are also fishing boats returning in the early morning sunshine, loaded with a boatload of fish, and slowly moored under the guidance of the pilot. Immediately, a large number of people crowded over, unloading and buying fish.

    Next to the cement playground not far from the port, there are snack vendors with small stalls selling breakfast, noodles, rice, steamed buns, cooking cakes, all kinds of things, and the business is also quite booming.

    Looking at everything in front of him, Liu Jin's face was filled with a smile. This is what a busy port should look like. Then Liu Jin's eyes naturally looked towards a quiet dock.

    This pier is different from other places. There are ten Dafu ships parked on the pier here, and the first one is the "Taishan". These ships are the fleet that is about to set off to the Golden Continent.

    During the previous period of time for these ten ships, the Tianjin Shipyard carried out all overhauls on these ships. Those that needed to be replaced were replaced, those that needed to be repainted were repainted, and some modifications were also carried out where appropriate, so that these ships  The boat can better adapt to the wind and waves in the ocean.

    The boats have already been filled with food, water, and various supplies. As soon as the crew arrives and Liu Jin gives the order, the boats will sail towards the Golden Continent.

    "Teacher~"

    Just when Liu Jin was looking at the ten ships in a daze, a voice came.

    Liu Jin followed the voice and looked over. It was Lin Shuhong who had short hair, a clean shaven beard, and was wearing a sailing suit. At this time, he was strong and strong, and his skin was tanned from going to sea in the capital. In addition, he was wearing this outfit.  And dress, how can you still see the frail scholar from before.

    Last year, Lin Shuhong decided to go to the Golden Continent with the fleet, so he has been living and eating with the first batch of colleges of the Maritime Academy, learning navigation knowledge, often going to sea, and honing himself on the ocean. The whole thing has happened.  huge change.

    "Shu Hong~"

    Liu Jin looked at Lin Shuhong in front of him and didn't know what to say. He thought for a moment and said, "It's not too late to regret now. You are the only son in the family. I think your parents will definitely not agree to your going to Golden Continent."  .¡±

    "Teacher, I have made up my mind. Only after sailing on the vast sea during this period of time have I finally found the true meaning of life."

    "Everyone has his own destination. In the past, I was always very confused because it was not my wish to study and take the imperial examination. It was the wish of my parents."

    "Although I study very hard, I always suffer when I read those books. I also often wonder where my life path is, whether it is to pass the imperial examinations again and again, to fail in the rankings again and again, or to win the gold medal all the time.  After that, he went up and down in the officialdom."

    "But these are not what I want. I like to travel around the mountains and rivers. I like to be active rather than quiet. Whether it is taking the imperial examination or being an official, it is a kind of torture for me."

    "Only now, while riding the waves in the sea, have I discovered my true self. Traveling all over the world by boat is my pursuit in this life."

    Lin Shuhong shook his head firmly, and then looked at the world between the water and the sky outside the port. He was filled with emotion and said something that surprised Liu Jin.

    To be honest, Liu Jin didn't teach them anything. He just encouraged them with some very common famous sayings from later generations. Unexpectedly, Lin Shuhong found his own destiny because of this.  the way.

    "I'm very happy to hear that you have found your own path in life."

    "Well, since you have made up your mind, I can only wish you a safe journey and a safe return."

    Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

    "Teacher, I?Even though his life is now superior and he has turned around a long time ago, he has never received official status or recognition from the Ming Dynasty. When facing scholars, officials, and powerful people, he will inevitably act like a dwarf.

    But now, His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty has personally said that he is a warrior and a hero of the Ming Dynasty. This makes people's blood boil, and there is a feeling that a scholar will die for his confidant.

    "You can go to Golden Continent with peace of mind and don't have any worries. I will treat your parents as my parents, and I will treat your wives and children as mine."

    Although Zhu Houzhao was just a little kid, he was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and his words carried a very heavy weight. Everyone present did not dare to treat him as a child at this time, but regarded him as the prince of the Ming Dynasty.  Prince.

    As for Liu Jin on the side, he looked at Zhu Houzhao in front of him and fell into deep thought. Is this Emperor Zhengde, who has a very low evaluation in history, really the kind of wicked and unprincipled emperor recorded in the history books?

    "At least in Liu Jin's view now, although the Zhu Houzhao in front of him is still young, he has already shown his great talents and strategies, and he will definitely not be what is written in the history books.

    "The strong wind is blowing, the clouds are flying, and we are returning to our hometown in the sea!"

    "Heroes of the Ming Dynasty, I wish you a safe journey. When you return smoothly, I will persuade my father to come here to welcome you personally."

    While Liu Jin was meditating, Zhu Houzhao had already finished his speech.

    "Ahem~ Lao Liu, what did I think of what I just said?"

    Zhu Houzhao came to Liu Jin's side, coughed slightly and said.

    "Well, Your Highness said it very well. I think they are all excited at this moment."

    Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao, who had regained his playful smile, thought for a while and said.

    "Haha~ Of course, who am I? I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty."

    When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately laughed happily.

    "Mr. Liu, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

    Du Mingen looked at Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, thought for a while and said.

    ¡°I have nothing more to say, let¡¯s set sail.¡±

    Liu Jin smiled and shook his head. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, delivered a congratulatory speech. There was no need for him to say anything else. After all, Zhu Houzhao was the prince. As a commoner, it was better for him to keep a low profile.

    "Your Highness, Mr. Liu, we have set sail."

    Du Mingen nodded, then said very seriously to Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin, then turned to the neat team and said: "Set sail!"

    As he finished speaking, the person responsible for ringing the bell on the lighthouse here in the port began to ring the bell continuously.

    ¡°Dangdang~dangdang~¡±

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Soon, the crew members of the ten phalanxes boarded the ten Dafu ships one by one, untied the cables, put away the anchors, and the bells on the lighthouse rang again and again.

    The ten Dafu boats were full, and the crew members stood together, bowed deeply in the direction of Zhu Houzhao at the port, and then waved goodbye to everyone.

    This sailing ceremony is very simple, and it is also a ceremony taught by the Maritime Academy. There are not too many bells and whistles. It is simple, easy to use, and the meaning is conveyed clearly.

    If it were planned by officials from the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, it would definitely be very cumbersome and lengthy.

    After the simple ceremony, the crew began to get busy. The sails on the mast slowly raised, and the ship began to slowly leave the port. After leaving the port for a while, the sails were all raised, and under the sea breeze  , was blown loudly, and the speed of the ship also began to soar continuously.

    The ten ships formed a straight line and sailed towards the sea. As time went by, they gradually became smaller and smaller in the field of vision where the water and the sky met, and finally disappeared completely on the sea.

    Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin and others have been silently watching the ship disappear from the field of vision, without any movement or words during this period. Similarly, on the ten ships, the crew members were busy while looking in the direction of Tianjin Port from time to time.  , there is too much, too much reluctance here.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
