Chapter 2587: Wedding Trivia

On the first day of July, a large group of people boarded trains and yachts and rushed to Haizhou, where they transferred to the Tang aircraft carrier.

It took half a day to arrive. Five hundred sailing and oared boats and thirty steam locomotives were ready in Haizhou.

The navy that sailed after the New Year came back one after another. When they arrived, they did not leave. The seamen hurried to communicate with their wives about what Zhou Gong said.

Those who did not have wives took the opportunity to go on blind dates. Matchmakers ran around and said how good both sides were.

Some women who were introduced from other places had poor economic conditions and asked for a betrothal gift of 100 strings of cash.

The seamen could afford it, so what was 100 strings of cash? Give it!

The woman sneaked out to see, and then got together with the man in private, telling him that 20 strings of cash would be enough.

The woman was smart. If the betrothal gift was high and the dowry could not keep up, how could she live in the man's family in the future?

The betrothal gift and the dowry were equal. Unless the woman was particularly good at managing the household, she would not be able to hold her head up.

Instead, the man told this unmarried but married wife that he would give her two hundred strings of cash. This time, I will follow His Majesty's fleet, the Tang Dynasty aircraft carrier battle group.

The woman did not agree. Why should we give our family's money to others?

Just twenty strings of cash. I will tell them that I have done that with you.

The man shook his head. Why bother? I do have money. I can use sextants and theodolites.

Woman: Do you have a gun? The water-linking bead.

The man shook his head: I have a revolver. I can apply for an automatic rifle to fight at any time. I don't want the water-linking bead.

Woman: Oh, oh, oh! I know. You wait for me to come home and see how I can scare them, no, persuade them.

Man: Money is a small matter.

Woman: No, after I marry you, I can give my family more things. That is what you, my husband, gave me. Now the betrothal gift is high. What should I do?

Man: I will listen to you. Is your clothes wet? I will take them off for you.

Woman: Where is it wet? I... um!

Many naval officers and soldiers are treated like this, it's really profitable!

Marrying a wife is not afraid of not having money, the key is that seafarers are no worse than scholars. In terms of applied knowledge, scholars can't compare with seafarers at all, including foreign languages.

Do you know how many kinds of sailor knots can be tied on the ship when going out to sea?

On land, Li Yi's loading car felt very powerful when he tied a few simple knots.

For seafarers, there are many kinds of sailor knots, all of which must be remembered and remembered as instinct.

"Woo woo" accompanied by the sound of the whistle, the Tang aircraft carrier battle group set off.

There are a total of 532 ships, with yachts leading the way, cruise ships in second place, and other ships following behind.

Cruise ships cannot be in the middle of the fleet, which affects flexibility. This is not a real aircraft carrier battle group.

In dangerous situations, such as enemy fleet attacks, cruise ships will directly hit them.

The opponent's large ship has no time to turn to avoid, and the cruise ship is fast and made of iron.

The opponent's small boat can turn, and the cruise ship speeds up. Once it rushes, the waves will overturn the small boat.

"Brother Yi, if we encounter a big storm, can this ship withstand it?" Li Longji was worried.

Everyone had lunch in the afternoon, and they ate not the dumpling-shaped pan-fried buns, but the round ones.

"Our ship is not afraid, but the other ships are finished. We can know the typhoon situation ten hours in advance and avoid it.

If the technology is better, it can be clear dozens or hundreds of hours in advance, but unfortunately we can't do it now.

Fortunately, our Tang Navy ships have not encountered it so far.

It will definitely encounter it in the future, so we must have our own berthing and supply points along the route.

In this way, in a few years, our sailing and oared ships will be eliminated, and all steam engines will be used."

Li Yi is currently thanking God for giving him face. When he went out on a large fishing boat at that time, he lost contact with a satellite phone.

A 100,000-ton cargo ship sank at any time, and satellite positioning was still irreversible.

Of course! You can't say you are afraid of death and don't go out to sea. People can fall to death while walking.

"Is it easy to farm in the place we are going to?"

Lu Huaishen looked at the sea and sky outside, and the first thing he thought of was farming, as he was an agricultural nation!

"The east, southeast, south, and southwest are the only places that can be farmed. There is a large desert in the middle, and the north is only suitable for grazing.

The climate is changeable, and it is easy to lack water. It is easy to feed tens of thousands of people.

Locals should not bring rabbits up. Strict regulations are in place. Once found, they will be executed immediately."

When Li Yi was talking about the place, he thought of a big thing, rabbits.

Rabbits cannot be placed on this continent, otherwise he will have to find a way to get a virus...myxoma virus.

"Try not to bring foreign animals there?" Li Longji understood.

"Sheep and cattle are OK. We have them on our ship. Due to the transportation conditions, the people of the Tang Dynasty will be able to eat more mutton jerky and beef jerky in the future."

Li Yi was well prepared. He brought 200 horses, 200 sheep, and 50 cows, intending to throw them on the land over there to breed.

A country riding on the back of sheep, is it just a name for nothing?

Cattle and sheep are raised for food and fur, and horses are used as means of transportation. Does herding mean people have to walk to drive cattle and sheep?

Yao Chong followed up and said: "A lot of wool and sheepskin, sheep oil is used to make soap."

"That's right." Li Yi nodded. If necessary, he can continue to send more there.

A gust of wind blew, and the speed of the fleet increased. UU Reading www.uｕkanshu.ｎet The oars did not move at all, relying on wind power to move. People only row when there is no wind or very little wind.

The current speed is maintained at thirteen to fourteen knots. When encountering strong winds, it can reach twenty knots, or even faster.

If everything goes well, without stopping in the middle, with an average speed of fifteen knots, it will take twelve days to reach northern Australia and bypass East Timor.

If the wind becomes weaker or the wind direction is not conducive to fast sailing, you can only look at the sky and Mutong theory.

It is necessary to temporarily dock to replenish fresh water in the middle of the journey to see if the locals have anything they are willing to exchange.

Everyone has plenty of time and is not in a hurry. The internal stability of the Tang Dynasty, and those who are ready to replace Bi Gou and others as prime ministers are all staying in the two capitals.

When they join the group, Li Yi will stay with them to play.

Three days later, the fleet arrived in Liuqiu, which is the northeast of Taiwan. There are people from the Tang Dynasty and locals waiting here.

The speed of the fleet slowed down. Now it is the southwest monsoon. Running against the wind, it is necessary to adjust the sails constantly.

The sailboat took a Z-shaped route, which is stronger than when there is no wind. If the ship is not too big, as long as the wind is strong enough, the speed will be very fast.

The people on Liuqiu were on the shore and did not eat lunch at noon. They saw a group of small dots from a distance, gradually approaching.

This wait lasted for an hour. When they saw that the cruise ship could no longer approach the shore, even the Yu Lin flying cavalry opened their mouths wide.

"Fuck, they changed to a big ship? Throwing a city into the sea?"

"Beautiful, invincible."

"Can we go up and take a look? Just take a look, I want to know what the deck looks like."

"Send flag signals to ask, we are all family, don't be embarrassed."

"Okay, okay! Hey, drones fly over."

"Get ready to take a shower and eat on the ship, the cruiser will pick you up." The drone shouted.

"Okay!" The Yu Lin flying cavalry cheered.
