Chapter 64 Set sail

"Langjun, you are ready and you can set off!"

At the pier in Qinzhou Bay, more than a dozen merchant ships with the "Li" flags hanging on the sea, ready to set off.

Looking from a distance, there are countless people on the deck. A rough estimate is that there are still thousands of people.

"Today is pretty good, let's go!" Looking at the clear sky, Li Jia looked at the land again, looked at the mountains and forests in the distance nostalgic, and said decisively.

"Get off--" There was naturally someone on the side who responded and shouted loudly to convey the message.

Then, the sound of the horn gradually spread, and eight merchant ships with a thousand to six hundred materials began to support the canvas and slowly started to move. The merchant ships on the dock were shocked, and the momentum was too terrifying.

"This Li Jia really decided to go to Hainan? Which remote place to go?" On the pier, a handsome man with red lips and white teeth muttered his lips and asked in surprise.

"Of course, Mr. Li thinks he is extremely courageous. Things at sea may be turbulent again!" Wang Zhongqiu's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said earnestly:

"Others talked too much, and the husband of the Li family asked for trouble. He did not go to Yongzhou to manage it well. He went to the sea and competed for food with people on the water, and his identity was reduced!"

"But they never knew that a family that had been on land for hundreds of years had been on the sea, but it took less than ten years to come!"

"Then, Aye, isn't our Wang family another opponent?" Wang Sanniang was shocked. She started out by relying on sea trade. If there were multiple opponents, wouldn't she have lost profits?

"This is a bad word!" Wang Zhongqiu smiled, looked at the big cannibals passing by, and said in a heavy tone:

"If we compare sea trade to pie, our Wang family only ate some skin, and the big zombie can occupy the whole meat of the pie!"

"If Mr. Li wants to develop, he has to compete with the big cannibals, which is beneficial to us, such as the Han merchants!"

"The big cannibal boat is strong and there are many people. This trip, it is hard to know the good and bad luck!"

"Hmph, just let him die--" As she watched the fleet leave, Wang Xiaozi said angrily. Now she was still worried about the scene of her being scolded.

Jiang Xiaobei was a sect. He has lived on the sea since he was a child, sometimes in Qinzhou, sometimes in Haimen, and sometimes in order to avoid pirates, he ran to Danzhou, Hainan. In short, he had no place to live.

The sacred people are very poor. Even though they have caught many sea fish, they sell at a low price and are bullied by the evil people.

The most terrifying thing is that in the summer sea breeze, the fragile wooden boats cannot withstand the attack of typhoons. Every time the strong wind comes, several houses will fall into the water and there is no news.

So, looking at this giant ship as big as a mountain, Jiang Xiaobei was very excited. If he had such a big ship at home, he would no longer be afraid of being blown away while sleeping.

Even though he had already read it all, Jiang Xiaobei still couldn't see it enough. He touched it left and looked again.

"What are you doing?" A thunder sounded in his ears. Jiang Xiaobei was shocked, and he turned around with a smile and said embarrassedly:

"Captain, this ship is so good!"

"That's right, this boat was bought for thousands of yuan, and it's second to none in the entire Qinzhou!"

The captain was also wearing a short shirt, with a beard on his face, holding a wooden cylinder in his hand, with glass pieces at both ends, and a long knife on his waist, which looked very majestic.

Jiang Xiaobei was very envious.

"Boy, do it well. Although you are from Baishui, the husband attaches great importance to you. There will definitely be rewards or something like that!"

The captain pretended to be heroic and patted Jiang Xiaobai on the shoulder, and the words he said were exciting.

"You kid are lazy again..." After saying that, the captain left quickly and ignored him.

"Damn it, what am I doing? My husband just told us not to bully them. Why am I so excited?" He rubbed his shoulder-slapping palm. Baishui people were so humble and could not dirty themselves...

Jiang Xiaobei stayed there, touched his clean clothes, looked at the boots on his feet, and there were still five hundred big money every month. The boat under his feet kept shaking, telling him that this was not a dream...

Eight ships, three six hundred materials, three eight hundred materials, and two thousand materials, with a total of more than 1,300 crew members, of which nearly half were occupied, six hundred.

Compared with other sailors' salary of dozens of stakes per month, the gangsters are cheap and the quality is very good. Li Jia is very satisfied.

However, the gangsters stayed at the sea for a long time, and the fishy fishing with them all their lives was almost suffocating and extremely unpleasant.

In addition, in order to prevent infectious diseases, Li Jia specially requested a large-scale bathing exercise.

All the sailors who boarded the boat were bare and rubbed them hard over and over again in the pond covered with a scattered ash.

I washed five times and brushed all the skins of the stingers before I stopped. Then I washed them again with soapy beans, and the fishy smell became slightly weaker.

These are nothing. The gangsters were very resistant to shaving their hair and becoming bald, and even wanted to resist and get off the boat.

Then the gangsters are not particular at all. The lice on their heads are dense, and the lice between their hair are climbing up and down, and their scalp moves left and right, which is simply suffocating.

Even if I cleaned it over and over again, it would be there again in just a few hours.

Lice are contagious, and Li Jia is deeply touched by this.

When I was a child, I saw a neighbor's family. The child had lice on his head and didn't care. As a result, the whole family was infected in less than half a month.

What's even more terrifying about the head lice is that the neighbor used DDT to dilute his hair and was difficult to clean it, and it was found again in a few days...

Only shaving your hair is the only way.

"Sanlang, why are you so many bald men in your crew? Are you all hired from the temple?"

Next to Li Jia, a man was standing next to him. His cousin Li Hao, the eldest son of his second uncle's family, three years older than Li Jia. According to the ranking of the clan, Li Jia ranked third.

"Brother, don't laugh at me!" Li Jia said with a smile.

"I'll go to Hainan this time, I have to ask my elder brother to take care of you in the future!"

"This is a bad word. We are a family, not speaking two people, this is what we should do!"

Li Hao looked at his cousin with a spring breeze and couldn't help but feel moved. He helped him get the position of governor of Yazhou, otherwise he would have only been twenty-one years old, so how could he have made such an arrangement?

The magistrate of Yazhou, the full name of Yazhou Military, was established in the Liu Yan era, and military generals no longer hold local positions.

As the world's largest copycat, Zhao Kuangyin, who even copied Guo Wei's yellow robe, naturally would not let this go and copied it.

Liu Yan's reputation in history was not as good as Zhao Kuangyin, so naturally no one knew that the literati and political division of civil and military affairs were implemented in the Southern Han Dynasty at the beginning, and Zhao Kuangyin was just a great copycat.
