The men and women dressed in the hotel are naturally Lin Chunhong and Chen Tianyao.

After Chen Tianyao arrived in Guangzhou, she was shocked by the prosperity and wealth of Guangzhou. In addition, she vowed to accompany Lin Chunhong to visit Guangzhou. Chen Tianyao's vow made Lin Chunhong suffer, and she had to take time to accompany Chen Tianyao to wander the streets and alleys of Guangzhou every day.

However, Lin Chunhong enjoys such leisure time. After all, there are not many opportunities to accompany her beautiful concubines and to take advantage of this to understand the people's sentiments.

During these days, the wind of adventure is better than that of one day, and the expedition teams in "Tiantianshuba" each month have dozens of expedition teams. As the maker of marine rules, the Maritime Governor's Office cannot stay out of it. They look for suitable candidates everywhere every day, trying to form a huge expedition team to explore the south of Java.

Exploring south naturally means Lin Chunhong.

In the south of Java, there is an Australian continent that is no less than the local area of ​​the Ming Dynasty. If it can be taken for itself, it will bring broad prospects to the entire Ming Dynasty and be enough to influence the future direction of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is not a simple matter to find the mainland at sea. It requires a large number of experienced sailors and professionals. Otherwise, at the least, nothing can be discovered, and at the worst, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed.

Experienced sailors are naturally not a problem, the key lies in professionals. Lin Chunhong is worried about this these days.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to go to bed, someone handed me a pillow, and Lin Chunhong actually met a strange man in the underserved hotel.

After Lin Chunhong returned to Yihezhuang, he was very excited and hugged Chen Tianyao's slim waist tightly, and said happily: "Little vixen, you are my lucky star. If you hadn't forced me to go shopping, how could he meet Sun Xiucai?"

Chen Tianyao was also out of breath, her hands wrapped around Lin Chunhong's neck like lip pilaf, and she blew like Lan: "I'll go shopping tomorrow, maybe I can find someone you're satisfied with..."

Lin Chunhong was about to take Chen Tianyao to the ground, but heard Zhang Jief's voice coming: "Report to the Governor, Sun Xiucai has been brought here."

...

Sun Xiucai's real name is Sun Lan and his courtesy name is Zijiu. He was originally from Jiangdu, Yangzhou Prefecture. After he threw out his comrades, he left in a hurry, just with the idea of ​​waiting for a price. Unexpectedly, after he returned home, he was told that Lin Chunhong had invited him before he could sit down.

Sun Lan was shocked and didn't care why Bangtai's reaction was so fast. After taking a shower and changing clothes in a panic, she came to Yihezhuang.

When Sun Lan saw Lin Chunhong's smiling eyes wider than a copper bell, her mouth was enough to stuff a goose egg, and she forgot to salute.

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Mr. Lin just deceived her and asked for forgiveness. Mr. Xiao, please sit down."

Lin Chunhong's voice finally pulled Sun Lan out of the dementia and hurriedly bowed: "I have a sin to see Mount Tai, I am guilty of not knowing Mount Tai!"

Lin Chunhong said: "Just just now, you and I were both worried and spoke unhappy. I would like to ask, since you have heard that there is a large area of ​​land in the south of Java, why don't you accept funding and form an expedition team to the south to take a look?"

Sun Lan bowed again and replied respectfully: "Return to General, since the fifth year of Zhengde, Westerners sailed to the South China Ocean for more than a hundred years. Westerners are rogue and explored everywhere. I guess that the continent has been occupied by Westerners. Going rashly may lose their lives. Only the governor, with strong ships and powerful cannons, has defeated the Westerners recently, and has the strength to explore that continent! The reason why I wasted my time is nothing more than waiting for the governor."

Lin Chunhong said: "Sir, he is indeed a cheerful person. But don't worry, that continent should not be occupied by Westerners."

Sun Lan didn't believe it and asked, "Why is the governor so sure?"

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "Did Mr. Sun forget it? I have 60,000 to 70,000 Spanish people on hand. How can I hide the Westerners' affairs from me?"

Sun Lan suddenly realized and said happily: "It seems that it is a gift from God to the governor!"

Lin Chunhong said: "Sir, this is a gift from God to the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ha ha……"

The two laughed together, and they both felt that they met too late. After a deep conversation, Lin Chunhong discovered that Sun Lan had a very in-depth observation of astronomy and geography, and was also good at inferring correct conclusions based on various subtleties, showing a profound mathematical and geography skills.

This made Lin Chunhong very happy. Finally, he said with regret: "Sir is so talented, I am a little reluctant to let Mr. take risks on the sea!"

However, Sun Lan did not take Lin Chunhong's words and asked with a tremolo, "So, the governor is going to let me go to that unknown continent with the expedition team?"

"It's not about going with you, but serving as the captain of the expedition team and forming a fleet to go!"

"This... I am not only good at looking at the currents, but I know nothing about driving the ship. How can I bear such a heavy responsibility?"

Lin Chunhong said: "You can afford it! I will naturally arrange the experienced sailors. As for which direction to explore and how to explore, you have the final say, how about it?"

Sun Lan was overjoyed and bowed to the ground, saying, "The governor trusts me, how dare I not report to the map?"

...

After recommending Sun Lan to Zhang Zhao, Lin Chunhong carefully thought about Sun Lan's words.

Lin Chunhong of course knew that in the Pacific Ocean, except for the few large islands such as the Hawaiian Islands, other islands will not have significant economic returns in the short term. If all the wealthy merchants who funded the expedition team lost all their money, it would be a bad idea, and it would likely affect the enthusiasm of the Han people to explore the ocean.

Moreover, even in the Australian continent, in the short term, it is impossible to immigrate on a large scale, nor can it make immediate profits. It is necessary to exhaust decades of efforts to gain something.

This is also the reason why the Dutch discovered the Australian mainland and ignored it.

It seems that just promised half of the income for thirty years is far from enough.

"You have to work together with fame, fortune, fame and fortune. If you don't come for fame, you will go for profit. It's better to seek a win-win situation with explorers and wealthy merchants!"

Lin Chunhong thought for a long time and introduced a series of supplementary policies: islands, mainlands, and bays were named after the discoverers, and stone records were carved in Xingzhishu Hall for future generations to admire; during the adventure, the recorded navigation logs, hydrological materials, and nautical charts were acquired by the Academy of Engineering to ensure that the sponsors did not lose money.

After the introduction of these policies, Lin Chunhong felt extremely happy.

"Absolutely, Australia will probably be called Sun Lanzhou by its descendants. What archipelago should the Hawaiian Islands be called? What island will New Zealand be called?"

A proud smile appeared on Lin Chunhong's face.

Just as he was smiling, Zhang Jief suddenly reported: "Report to the Governor, Xiong Wencan asks for a meeting!"

Lin Chunhong smiled even more proudly and said in his heart: "After hanging him for so long, he finally got impatient!"
