Royal Gold Magistrate

Jiangling port.

On the warship, Lai Gou'er was sweating profusely with a steel knife in his hand, shirtless.

There are constant hey-ha sounds in the mouth.

Surrounded by hard-working sailors.

There are some winds and waves in the port today, and the huge hull is still undulating in the sea.

Therefore, the physical exertion is very high, and many people's movements have begun to go astray.

The leader stood at the bow of the ship, constantly scanning the training results below.

In order to sail and explore unknown places, the imperial court specially set up two official positions.

Cao Haiwuchen, and Cao Haidu Yushi.

Du Yushi is naturally responsible for supervising discipline and ensuring that the team is clear.

Cao Haiwuchen is naturally responsible for actual combat.

Now the Martial Officer of Cao Hai standing on the bow is named Zheng Hui, he was originally in the navy, he is familiar with water warfare, and grew up on the seashore since he was a child.

Such talents are extremely rare, but they are not reused.

Originally thought that this life would stop at a small official, but he didn't expect that the imperial court suddenly wanted to open the sea, and he was recommended along the way, and was quickly promoted.

As for why the sea was opened, Zheng Hui knew it well, and Fang Zhengyi also had a good impression of Fang Zhengyi in his heart.

A few months ago, Fangzheng sent a letter to Jiangling Port, saying that he would arrange for a distant relative to be trained as a sailor, so as to polish up the juniors in the family.

This little matter was nothing more than a lot of people eating in the camp, Zheng Hui naturally readily agreed.

He thought he was some kind of dude, but he didn't expect that this Lai Gouer who came in through connections was surprisingly tough.

It's not about how good the physical fitness is, there are a lot of people with good physical fitness in the army!

It's that kind of ruthlessness!

Hard training, strong will!

Ordinary sailors had some time to rest, and they often went to nearby cities to eat, drink, whore and gamble.

But Lai Gou'er is different, he actually likes reading.

He was sweating profusely from training every day, and even had to read when he was exhausted.

What's more interesting is that he will keep looking for people to ask for advice, and he never tires of it.

At first, he just asked some simple questions, but as he went deeper, Zheng Hui already felt a bit strenuous.

The young man's learning speed is indeed too fast, and his foundation is already faintly a little bit difficult to answer.

But Zheng Hui didn't care, it was rare to have such a motivated young man.

And it has something to do with Fang Zhengyi, although it might just be a formality here.

If he really went to sea, Mr. Fang would not let his relatives take such a big risk... It's a pity.

The crowd watching the practice below was exhausted and gradually crooked.

Only Lai Gou'er was still performing the standard movements, a trace of regret flashed in Zheng Hui's eyes.

Then he raised his hand to stop and ordered everyone to rest.

Lai Gou'er didn't stop, he had only practiced half of a set of movements, and it wasn't considered complete.

Still slashing with a knife.

A figure appeared in front of Lai Gou'er and said, "Okay, that's all for now, come with me."

Lai Gou'er quickly withdrew his knife and followed quickly.

Inside the cabin, Lai Gou'er asked curiously, "Master Zheng, what are you calling me for?"

Zheng Hui picked up the letter from the table, handed it to him, and said, "The message from Jin Yiwei, Mr. Fang asked you to go home for dinner."

"Oh, thank you, my lord. Then I'll pack up and go back to Beijing."

"Wait a minute." Zheng Hui stopped Lai Gou'er, sighed, and said, "Dog, there have been some movements in the capital recently. There are also some winds coming out of the court, and I'm afraid it won't be long before they are ready to go to sea. You put your things Pack everything up, and you won’t have to come back.”

"To be honest, young people like you are really rare, what a pity."

Lai Gou'er was stunned and said, "Ah? Mr. Zheng, what's the pity?"

Zheng Hui shook his head: "It's a pity that you can't go to sea with me. You are a relative of Mr. Fang. How dangerous is the vast sea, unless he wants you to die."

Lai Gou'er smiled: "Master Zheng, don't worry! I'm sure I'm going out! My elder brother will definitely agree, I promised him to be a man of promise, wait for me to come back!"

After all, Lai Gou'er is leaving.

Zheng Hui trembled all over.

brother?He called Fang Zhengyi big brother? !

Why didn't this kid say earlier, didn't the letter say he was a distant cousin?

As soon as Lai Gou'er walked to the door, Zheng Hui quickly shouted: "Gou'er! Go out to sea and you will be my lieutenant! Don't forget to tell Mr. Fang..."

"Know it!"

......

On this day, Fangzheng prepared a banquet early in the morning.

Arranged manpower to meet Lai Gou'er outside the city.

I haven't seen this kid for a long time, and I happened to meet him once.

It was evening, and Lai Gouer just arrived.

As soon as Fangzheng saw him coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Dog, how are you doing recently?"

Lai Gou'er smiled innocently: "Thanks to my elder brother, I've been doing well recently."

"Come, let's talk while eating."

The two sat down, and Fang Zhengyi first poured him a glass of wine: "I have nothing to do with you today, I just want to tell you that you have been in the capital for a long time, and it's time to go home."

Lai Gou'er's eyes widened, and he looked at Fang Zhengyi: "Brother...why did you let me go home? You don't want me here?"

Fangzheng shook his head: "No, the court plans to go to sea in the near future, so you don't have to follow."

"There are many dangers in the vast sea. You are not too young to start a family. It's not that I kick you out. If you want to stay in the capital, I can help you buy a house."

It turned out that he didn't kick me out, so that's fine.

Lai Gou'er breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, I...I want to go to sea, and I'm good at it. Even our chief praised me for learning well, and he is planning to promote me to be his deputy."

Fang Zhengyi was a little surprised: "Oh? I remember that person's name is Zheng Hui, right? He thinks so highly of you?"

"Yes! It's Zheng Hui, he really said that." Lai Gou'er bowed his head.

Fangzheng smiled gratifiedly, and then persuaded: "Even if he said so, I don't suggest you go. It's not a trivial matter. Do you know how far the imperial court is going?"

"How long will it take to go to sea and return? We don't know anything. The first pioneers can say that they were close to death."

"Dog, you saved my brother's life. I don't want you to die. I should send you to take risks with my own hands."

"Speaking of which, aren't you just doing it for Hsinchu? They're all married, so there's no need to pester them. There are plenty of good women in the world, so why bother?"

"It's really not possible, come to Jinyiwei, I will guarantee that you will be envied by everyone, and you can marry any kind of wife you want."

Hearing a sharp pain in Hsinchu Lai Gou'er's heart, he lowered his head and waited for a long time before slowly saying: "Brother, I have been practicing martial arts and reading since you left. Now I know the limelight and the water, and I can even build boats. When I reach the river I have learned a lot in Lingang, and I think all I have learned now is to go to sea. If I stay in the capital, in the end, it is just that my elder brother is willing to spend money to support me, and I don’t want to do that.”

"Brother, meeting you is the luck of my life, but..."

Fang Zhengyi frowned slightly.

Lai Gou'er raised his head suddenly, with determination in his eyes: "I am no longer a beggar, I want to stand out on my own!"

......

(Punch in the next day, a good start!)
