Chapter 406 Three Trials After half a month of hard work, the three sea-going ships finally came to a perfect end, and today is the day when the new ship will be launched into the sea for trial trials!
Today is a terrible day. They searched all over Jiangdong and found the best Taoist priest.
This person's surname is Zhang. I heard that he has some contact with Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain. I don't know if it is true or not.
The calculated time happened to be morning, so before dawn, many craftsmen could be seen walking in the same direction in twos and threes.
On the huge dock, three brand new ships stood with their heads held high, and they were even covered with red silk by the prodigal son, making them look extremely festive! "How's it going? It's not bad!"
Xiao Wang's show-off was beyond words, so he almost said: Praise me!Come and praise me! Ji Qing held her forehead and smiled bitterly, pointing at this prodigal thing and said angrily: "If sir were here, I would have to treat you. Do you think the shipyard's money is all blown by the strong wind?"
"If someone sees someone suing you to Chang'an, do you think those nobles who have invested a lot of money and are waiting for the benefits can give up?"
When Xiao Wang heard this, he immediately fainted. Firstly, he was afraid of Ji Song, and secondly, he really didn't find this level, but he decided because he was happy at the time.
"Okay, what can we do now? Can they still eat us?"
This time it was Liu Xiancheng who spoke for Xiao Wang. However, those who know his character will not be too surprised!
Liu Xiancheng seems easy-going, but perhaps his childhood experience has made him extra sensitive and he has a bit of low self-esteem in his bones!
Although Ji Song has been trained for many years, so that he can't see it now at least on the surface, but it has also developed his arrogance, and most people really can't stand him!
In his opinion, those nobles were parasites lying on Ji's body, sucking Ji's blood, and he looked down on them in his heart.
Only when Ji Qing talked about those people did he become a little extreme!
Ji Qing looked at it and thought, "I am a miser. You are all gentlemen. You are so damn beautiful at being generous to others!" "I asked the three of you, can you hurry up? What time has it been? Are you still thinking about bickering? In the meantime, you can bring something for your junior brother or sister."
Ji Ming trotted over anxiously and was met with complaints.
Now he just wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. He doesn't want to stay in this place at all. With these three things, he will have to live at least several years shorter! Anyway, he had thought about it, and he wouldn't come even if he was tied up next time. This is simply not what a human would do.
These three little bastards never had a peaceful day together. They were on tenterhooks all day, and his heart seemed to be swollen just a few times, just because they were angry with him.
Fortunately, Ji Qing was the only one among the few who was relatively stable, and he could sometimes discipline the other two for himself.
But Wang Xuance, that bastard, was a troublemaker. He wiped his ass everywhere, and he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
"What you said all the time, we weren't thinking about how you worked so hard to take care of us. We were just thinking about how to repay you!"
Ji Ming rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I'll be thankful that you don't cause me more trouble in the future. I can't bear your repayment!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for them to speak, he said: "Hurry up and get on the boat. Whether you are an insect or a dragon depends on this time. Whether you can graduate depends on these three boats!"
Xiao Wang stepped forward and took Ji Ming's hand, flatteringly saying: "See if you can show your respect. When the time comes..."
"impossible!"
Before Xiao Wang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ji Ming and said decisively.
There is no room for negotiation on this matter for Ji Ming! He can take care of you and let you go in other places, but he will never compromise in this regard! When we arrived, the Marquis made it very clear that we must strictly control the ship's operation and make sure there are no mistakes.
Whether our Ji family can be famous for generations depends on these ships, so you must keep an eye on me! Ji Song said this to him personally. As for why the ship was related to Ji's future, he chose to believe it!Because Brother Song has never let these old guys down.
"Uncle Ming, forgive me. This guy is just talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
Ji Qing took a look and said, "Oh no, Uncle Ming is angry!"
Wang Xuance regretted it as soon as he said it. The rest was fine, but when it came to ships, there was no human kindness at all!
The truth has become clear in the past few years. In the vast sea, ships are the only support. If there is any problem with the ship, it may kill you in the future!
Therefore, he quickly said: "Uncle Ming, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again next time!"
"Humph!"
Ji Ming glared at him, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This voyage mission is to depart from Mingzhou and travel eastward for a thousand nautical miles, and then return safely."
Looking at the three teenagers with solemn faces, he continued: "You should know that no one has set foot there so far, and no one knows what will happen."
"So, you must make all preparations to deal with possible situations!"
"I will go with you this time, so I can take care of you!"
Sanxiao was startled: "You..."
Ji Ming stopped him and said, "No need to say anything, I have made up my mind!"
The three of them all saw the solemn look in each other's eyes. This time was more of a trial voyage than an extreme exploration! That’s right, it’s exploration, an exploration of the unknown! This is just the first step. The second trial voyage involves heading north along the coastline, first to the Japanese country, then continuing north until we find the strait, and then returning south!
The last time was to go south, first to Yizhou, then to Quanzhou, and then find a strait and return!
Only then will we go to the other side of the sea! They were a little confused about Ji Song's arrangement at first, but after they understood the complexity and changeability of the ocean, they understood that only after passing the test of different sea areas can they deal with crises in the future!
The waters of the Southern Ocean have many similarities with the climate of South America, and they are at the same latitude. It is a good place for a test!
The reason why it is so complicated is because they want to succeed once, because it is basically impossible for them to have a second chance!
Just like Ji Song said to the emperor, if he wants to do it a second time after suffering heavy losses, the court will definitely stop it with all his strength!
Therefore, sailing in different sea areas and understanding and familiarizing yourself with the climate conditions in various sea areas has become the best way to accumulate experience!
In fact, according to Ji Song's idea, it is best to do this kind of trial voyage several times, so as to accumulate more experience! But nine times out of ten things in the world will not go as planned. Ji Song can wait, but those nobles who have lost half of their wealth will not wait.
Therefore, after many efforts, these three trials were carried out.
Otherwise, as those people wanted, it would be enough to just conduct a trial voyage in Linhai. There is no need to make it so complicated. It will take too long!
"Uncle Ming, don't worry, we will return victorious. How can we be defeated so easily?"
The three little ones were full of confidence and had no intention of being frightened at all! (End of this chapter)
