Finally, after the "Get Rich", they discovered these sailors who had become chickens, so they immediately returned to their voyage.

When Liang Min and the others were dragged onto the deck with their frozen lips purple and their stiff lips, even if he was very brave, he was stunned for a long time.

He leaned against the side of the side and was dripping with water all over his body, and his whole body was wet.

"Why are you still standing there? Take off your clothes quickly. Do you want to freeze to death?"

Amid the clamor of the sailors, Liang Min took off her wet clothes and wrapped herself in her coat. She felt a hint of warmth in the fire.

While roasting the fire, he asked Li Si:

"Fourth brother, do you often fall into the water?"

Li Si was like him, his whole body was soaked, but looking at his appearance, he seemed to care at all. He was wearing a bear fur coat and reached out to roast the fire.

"This is so common, it's okay."

He said with a haha.

"Or what if you think ten taels of silver a month is so easy to earn? We can go overseas for at least half a year. If we include dividends, we can earn at least one hundred taels of silver in half a year. Will the boss give you such a large amount of money for no reason?"

After he finished speaking, he began to drink the hot soup safely. The soup was made of minced whale meat, which was a bit similar to the beef soup in his hometown, with a slight fishy smell.

"This is nothing. Once, when we were catching whales on the east side of Sakhalin Island, a ship sank. When the big ship was discovered, only two people survived, and the others were frozen to death in the sea."

Li Si said indifferently.

"Actually, this is how you make a living at sea. You earn a lot of money, but you also earn money with your life."

Javeliners like Li Si were disdainful of such danger, so he turned his head to Liang Min.

"All whaling ships are like this. They row their own boats and say they are going to whales, but in fact they are rowing towards the gates of hell. Brother Liang, your son is studying at the Imperial College and will definitely make a fortune in the future. Are you willing to live such a life?"

Li Si asked staring into his eyes.

"Don't pay your life for a little money. No matter how good the money is, you have to spend your life. The rice of whaling... Not everyone can eat it. Brother Liang, your son is so promising. How good is it to enjoy a peaceful life in the future?"

Li Si's jokes contain his concern for him.

From Li Si's words, Liang Min finally understood that whaling is a very close thing to the gates of hell, and it is common in whaling life.

As long as you get on a whaling ship, you must face these dangers.

As long as you get on the boat, your life will not be yours.

Is it all really worth it?

When you turn your eyes to the sea again, you can clearly see that there are still small boats chasing whales on the sea surface. The javelins are constantly throwing javelins at the whales. The javelins are the main tool for whaling. After the whale is hit, even if it is already injured, it must pursue a long sea chasing.

In the end, the bleeding whales will die in such pursuits. In fact, every whale will die in such a bloody manner.

...

On the sea, there was a bright red...

On that day, the cabin was filled with whale meat and then started to return. However, the boat did not go to Shanghai, but went to Vladivostok in Binhai Province, which was originally a place full of sea cucumbers.

"Take this boat of meat to the city before the squirrel freezes!"

Vladivostok is the prefecture of Binhai Province. It is said to be a prefecture, but in fact, this city does not even have a city wall and a population of only more than 10,000 people. It looks even worse than the county town in the mainland. However, in Binhai, this city is already the largest city in Binhai. In fact, it was originally a military fortress.

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, in order to form a clamping force with Liaodong, the emperor of the Pinglu General sent troops to first capture the "Bear Island" on the other side of Vladivostok. The Jurchens called it "Lefu", which means "Bear" in Chinese. Two months later, the Ming army occupying the Bear Island landed in Vladivostok again, began to build ports and fortresses, and planted potatoes and corn in the newly reclaimed fields.

The so-called port is actually a wooden trestle that extends from the fortress to the sea. As for the so-called fortress, it is just a wooden wall surrounded by logs. At most, such a wooden wall can only prevent the attack of wild beasts. The fortress's "heavy firepower" is two nine-jin field cannons, which have never played any role except for shooting training.

Although this partial army was not useful until the end, it began the Ming Dynasty's reconquest of the coastal area, that is, the Nuergandusi. However, this conquest seemed a bit boring. They almost never met a target of the attack. In order to strengthen their strength, Dorgon incorporated a large number of savage Jurchens into the Eight Banners. In order to conquer those savage Jurchens, Dorgon even sent troops to "sweep thousands of miles and give birth to various Jurchen tribes", which directly led to the Nuergandusi becoming a no-man's land with thousands of miles of uninhabited people.

However, such an uninhabited land opened a convenient door for the conquest of the Ming Dynasty. At least immigrants do not need to face the threat of having a daughter. However, even though this is a place with thousands of miles of fertile land, there are very few people, even if it is a city of dignified people.

When the boat entered the port, a ship of hundreds of tons of whale meat was moved to the shore. The whale meat would freeze during the long winter and then be put into the underground cold storage. When the next summer is the most expensive meat, the boat will transport them to the mainland and sell them for a good price.

However, all of this has nothing to do with Liang Min. After all, he is just a javelin.

Although Li Si told him that whaling was a very dangerous profession, he still made a decision to continue working in the whaling industry.

"Brother Liang, since we have already thought about it, we will have dinner on the same boat in the future!"

After Liang Min made this decision, Li Si said to him with a smile. For the Javeliner, if he fell into water once and wanted to eat this bowl of rice, he would definitely be half a Javeliner.

After getting ashore, the sailors on the whaling ship were like all the sailors, and there was no difference at all. After finishing their work, they went straight to the tavern next to the dock, drinking cheap cane wine (rum), holding Korean maids or Japanese maids in their arms, and enjoying their lives in the joyful music.

In the sailor industry, you make a lot of money and spend money quickly. After all, sailors have never had today or tomorrow, and no one knows what they will encounter tomorrow. Maybe they fall into the water and then lose their lives.

Things in the world are impermanent, and they are talking about them.

In fact, Liang Min is not afraid of death.

He even enjoyed this kind of life.
