When Zhang You heard the gift, she excitedly dragged Liu Yiming to the dock and looked at the giant creature in front of her.

"It's so big!" This was the first thing Zhang You said after getting off the carriage.

"This should be the largest ship in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Do you like it if you go up there?" Liu Yiming said.

"Give it to me?" Zhang You was really surprised.

"Of course!" Liu Yiming said decisively, 'I gave it to you, but you can always borrow it for use!'

"Let's forget it." Zhang You hesitated.

"Let's go up and have a look!" Liu Yiming took Zhang You on the boat.

The hull should have just been maintained, and the paint was very new. Liu Yiming took Zhang You into the cabin. It was the custom of White Star Company that the front of the ship was a cabin for single men. Liu Yiming took one look and stopped looking at it, walking to the middle and rear.

, here are cabins for single women, married couples and families.

Some cabins can be connected to become family cabins. The design is very clever, the space is large, and the decoration is British classical style, but it is not luxurious. Sure enough, luxury cruise ships were just starting at this time, and it was not until the age of four chimneys that they achieved their maximum

The development eventually led to the creation of giant cruise ships with the price of Titanic.

"Do you like it?" Liu Yiming said looking at Zhang You who was interested in everything. At the same time, he also felt that he was a bit of an animal. She was still a little girl!

"I like it! Thank you!" Zhang You smiled with his eyes bent, and then immediately thought of his rejection just now, thanked him and accepted the gift by default.

"This time, we will take this ship to Europe." Liu Yiming opened the curtains. The ship was very high and had a good view. He could see the bell tower in the distance.

"Hehe~" Zhang You said with a silly smile, not knowing what he was thinking of.

"Still laughing, it's just a trip. The sea is not peaceful, even on this ship." Although it is already a cruise ship, the cruise ship at this time is not the cruise ship of later generations, and the bumps are still quite big, especially this ship, in order to pursue

The speed to hull ratio is not great.

"I was thinking that you want to take my boat!" Zhang You ran up and hugged Liu Yiming's hand, looking at him with a wicked smile.

"Um...yes!" Liu Yiming flicked Zhang You's brain.

"Hiss~" Zhang You covered his head, "You dare to play your captain, pay! The boat fee, you are not allowed to get off the ship without paying! I will make you wash the deck!"

"The shipping fee!" Liu Yiming laughed and kept looking at Zhang You who was wearing a cool version of Song's Hanfu.

This is what Nanhua women usually wear, and it is also advocated by the government. They wear Hanfu. However, the tradition, especially the Qing Dynasty system, is too conservative, so the Tang and Song Dynasty costumes were turned over. There are also Western-style clothes. It’s the same reason. It’s too conservative.

, it is easy to sweat all over.

Today, Zhang You is dressed in green and white Hanfu, and with this look of asking for money, she looks like a very unruly maid.

"Hehe~, don't worry, I'll pay the boat fare right now!" Liu Yiming closed the door and approached Zhang You with a smile like a gangster.

Zhang You, who had read many story novels, also became more playful.

"You...what are you going to do? Don't come over! If you come over again I'll yell! I yelled! Don't come over! Help!" Zhang You's face was red with excitement, and her eyes were filled with anticipation.

Liu Yiming was stunned for a moment, and then immediately answered, "You call, see who you can call. No one will pay attention to you even if your throat is broken today!"

…………

On July 9, Lin Anmin arrived in Nanhua with thirty-six students. After a short rest, Liu Yiming approached Lin Anmin.

"Commander." Lin Anmin was spanking the child when Liu Yiming came in.

"Uh...you go ahead, I'll come back later." Liu Yiming looked at Lin Anmin holding a stick and a boy who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old was tied to a tree. When he saw Liu Yiming, he made a whining sound.

"He's not busy, he's not busy! This is a dog, he's unmotivated. He's going to visit Europe soon. Let's give him a good beating first so that he can remember it for a long time." Lin Anmin said while asking someone to untie his son.

Liu Yiming's brows twitched and he looked at the rattan in Lin Anmin's hand. Is this a long memory?

If the cane goes down, there will be a blood stain!

Perhaps sensing Liu Yiming's demeanor, Lin Anmin explained.

"This piece of shit can't go to school or get admitted as an international student. Let him do business. We found a way for him and gave him three thousand taels of silver. As a result, this piece of shit ended up in Shanghai Road and stayed there for two months.

, the money has been spent, and you have brought trouble to the daughter of a good family! I won't beat you to death!" As he said this, seeing his son's disobedient look, Lin Anmin was filled with anger and whipped out another cane.

"Okay, okay, sir, Yichun is pregnant. Don't let your son howl. What should you do if the fetal force develops later?" A woman shouted at Lin Anmin.

"I know, I know." Lin Anmin winked at the woman. When the woman saw Liu Yiming, she looked calm and kind, saluted Lin Anmin, and went back to the backyard.

"Commander, why are you here today?" Lin Anmin said, leading Liu Yiming into the living room.

"I just want to ask, how is your work in the north going? Can you continue after you leave?" Liu Yiming took a sip of tea and said.

"Oh, it's been almost half a year since I went to the north. So far, more than 300 people have been sent to the United States. They all have a certain foundation. After simple training, they signed a contract and were sent there. There are also more than a thousand people who are currently in the process.

Accepting foreign language learning is expected to take half a year to a year to complete." Lin Anmin said.

"So many?" Liu Yiming said in surprise.

Previously, because of the Qing court's failure, only a few dozen people were left, and after only a few months of cooperation, 300 people were sent away? This surprised Liu Yiming.

"Thanks to the commander who went north and reached cooperation with Beiyang, a group of students from the Fuzhou Shipping Bureau and Beiyang Naval Academy who had nowhere to go after graduation chose to come to our engineering office, but they signed a fifteen-year contract and also spent a lot of money.

Eight thousand taels of activity fee, those corrupt officials are sucking blood and peeling off skin!" Lin Anmin said with some displeasure.

"It's okay, just give us some money. We can earn more than this." Liu Yiming nodded. It was an unexpected blessing to have a group of students. This means that in a few years, there will be hundreds more college students.

"I imitated the domestic model, set up preparatory classes, and recruited some foreign teachers to teach preparatory classes. These people have a certain foundation and a clean foundation. Most of them are children of farmers or small businessmen. In addition,

, I have something to report to you." Lin Anmin thought about it for a moment, then slapped his thigh hard and said.

"Say what you say. We are responsible for our words, but we will not be punished for our words," Liu Yiming said.

"Didn't I just say that these are all farmers' children? Most of them are children of small landowners and merchants, and some are simple farmers. They can't pass the imperial examination. The imperial court has opened several schools. They want to make a career, so

For places like Fuzhou Shipping Bureau and Beiyang Naval Academy, the application standards are relatively high." Lin Anmin gave some foreshadowing.

"These people study hard and have some real talents. The same goes for overseas students. Some of them, like Chen Jinkui, the first mate of the Zhiyuan, still have a way out, but most of them are wasting their time." Lin Anmin said.

"You want to recruit these people? Are they willing?" It's not that Liu Yiming hasn't thought about it, but it's hard to imagine such a thing.

Although these people are not taken seriously, they still work in major foreign affairs enterprises. Although most of them are at the grassroots level and have little rights and may be oppressed, they are still an iron rice bowl after all.

"My son stayed in Shanghai Road for a while. He studied navigation and met many people from the manufacturing bureau. He told me this." Lin Anmin said.

"This? If that's the case, how did he spend all three thousand taels of silver?" These people live on wages, and they can't spend much even if they live in debauchery.

"It's not money, it's goods at this price." Lin Anmin explained the reason to Liu Yiming.

Lin Anmin was also a businessman. After the establishment of Nanhua, the business was gradually handed over and integrated into the official trade. This time his son graduated from a group of sailing schools in Singapore and returned to Nanhua. He gave some development funds and threw them into

fleet.

Eight hundred pounds worth of sugar, sugar products, canned fruits, etc., were worth at least double the value when shipped to Shanghai. As a result, this guy fell in love with a girl at first sight on the dock, and ignored the goods, so that the goods did not have time to be put into the warehouse. A light rain,

The sugar got damp and the sugar products melted. Finally, it was packaged with canned fruit and sold for 1,500 taels of silver. Canned fruit was a luxury product.

Singapore is relatively open, even more so than Shanghai. This guy was so shameless and sweet-talking that he deceived the little girl completely (in the physical sense). The little girl realized that she was looking for life and death, and spent money to buy a house.

, said that she was looking for her parents to come over to propose marriage.

Well, after being together for a month, my brother found out and got a beating. If the girl hadn't suddenly been discovered to be pregnant, she might have been thrown into the river...

"Then..." Liu Yiming wanted to leave the recruitment matter to his son just now, but now he was a little unsure.

"Yichun, my daughter-in-law's brother works in the manufacturing bureau. He has a good reputation and manages three to five people. However, the salary is low, he has to give gifts, and his wages are deducted. I think if it is done properly, it should be able to attract some people.

Even if you come here to work?" Lin Anmin said.

"Okay, what's your son's name?" Liu Yiming asked.

"Lin Pingzhi." Lin Anmin said happily.

"..." Born as a businessman, free and pampered, unaware of the dangers of the world, I have collected enough buffs!

"Do you know Yue Buqun?" Liu Yiming asked a stupid question.

"What?" Lin Anmin was confused for a moment, "I've never heard of it."

"It's okay, let Lin Pingzhi rest for a few days, and then go report to Chen Siyuan. From now on, he will be under the immigration signature and be responsible for recruiting these unappreciated skilled workers, intellectuals, etc. in the north. Have a degree and don't worry about the relationship.

It’s too stiff.” Liu Yiming said.

"I'm going to sail to Europe soon. Thank you for your hard work. Get ready." Liu Yiming stood up and Lin Anmin hurriedly saw him off.
