Chapter 331
"My son complies with the order." Zhu Biao nodded, then expand the recruitment of the Sea Bureau, and train those who can be trained.

Three days later, the official document of the Maritime Affairs Bureau to expand the recruitment of sailors was posted.

The Marine and Army Schools are specially designed to train talents for the imperial court, but these sailors, Zhu Biao, are still placed under the Maritime Affairs Bureau.

In the future, when the great voyage begins, the Maritime Bureau will be able to play its role.

At this time, Zhu Biao was sitting in the office of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, listening to Sanbao's report.

"As of now, apart from the 300 applicants from southern Zhili, there are still many applicants from the north. The magistrates have already rushed to count the number of recruits, and they are doing according to the requirements of the Lord."

Zhu Biao frowned, Xu Da attacked the Japanese pirates, and victory was just around the corner.Those captives who were sent back have been building roads in various places, and they are being supervised and guarded by officials.

Now the national treasury is still full, and many generals in Huaixi have been arranged by Lao Zhu to train soldiers. It is about the affairs of Korea and Annan.It does not affect the purpose of starting a great voyage.

The training of sailors is urgent, and the popularization of marine knowledge is also the top priority.But he needed someone other than sailors.

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't speak, Sanbao could also understand Zhu Biao's mind: "Master, do you need anything else, please tell me, this servant will do it."

"I need hundreds of old women and midwives who understand medicine, as well as those who can weave and mend, cook and wash, pickle and grow vegetables, try to find ugly ones, and strong bodies." Zhu Biao told Sanbao what he first thought of Write down.

This request is really strange, but the three treasures have always been Zhu Biao's orders, and he will do it without talking too much.

Seeing that he was puzzled, Zhu Biao took the initiative to explain to him why he was looking for an old woman and a woman who could deliver babies.

Midwives know some basic pharmacology.When the crew members at sea have symptoms of disease, they can give the crew members medicine to relieve their symptoms, and they can do a good job of simply taking medicine.

Once out of the sea, a group of old men are used to rough hands and feet, and mending clothes is a lot of work.

Today's clothes are not strong, and if they are slightly worn, they will be easily broken.Bring the crone and midwife and let them mend the clothes when they are torn.

As for why I didn't bring a male doctor, it was because the male doctor didn't know how to wash, cook, or mend clothes except for taking medicine.

Everyone who takes it to sea must be almighty.If there are too few meetings and too many people are brought in, the burden will be too much.It must be streamlined and streamlined.

Not to bring young women, this is Zhu Biao's rigid requirement for the three treasures, and he must look for older ones.

The young woman is not comfortable showing her face in public, and another aspect is to prevent the soldiers and sailors under her command from making ulterior motives.

If for the sake of fighting for women, there will be conflicts in the vast sea, and big fights will affect unity and stability, and it will easily provoke men to fight.

These midwives and old women can cook and mend clothes. When they go to some uncivilized places where they don't know medical skills, they can very well promote medical skills and pharmacology, and treat women.

In this way, it is much more convenient to bring women than men.

Otherwise, a male cook who can cook, a male doctor who can treat diseases... In this way, a lot of people have to be brought along, which greatly increases the load.

Zhu Biao then made a lot of weird requests, asking officials from all over the country to go to the people's homes to buy and collect sun-dried soybeans and store them centrally.

For soybeans, Zhu Biao has his own special ideas.If you start a big voyage, you may not be able to reach the shore for several months, and it is impossible for fresh vegetables to be stored for such a long time. Soybean is the most effective thing.

As long as it is soaked in water, bean sprouts can grow for everyone to eat.

Afterwards, Mu Ying and Shen Qiancheng were asked to find fruit growers in various places, contact them in advance for the fruits they need to use, find someone to make canned fruits, and then bring them to the boat to eat.

Half a month later, there was a long queue at the gate of the Maritime Affairs Bureau, and those who traveled from south to north braved the severe cold to wait for candidates to be selected.

Zhu Biao sat in the lobby, while Mu Ying, San Bao and the others followed the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to screen and recruit candidates.

Sanbao read with a loud voice: "Today's special recruitment requirements, if you are dissatisfied with the requirements, please leave on your own.

The first one, those who are very good at water, who live by the sea all the year round, without father, mother, wife and children, are the first to be recruited and stand to the left.

The second one is pockmarked, strong old women and midwives with distorted facial features, the five big and three thick ones are the best.

The third rule, masters who can pickle vegetables, make dried fruits, and make pastries, please stand here alone, and you will stay in the Maritime Bureau for training..."

Sanbao read a dozen of them in one breath, and the requirements became more and more outlandish. Those young and beautiful village women turned and left angrily, saying that it was really strange for the Sea Bureau to recruit people.

The ugly midwife and the old woman who knew how to order things were left behind, and they were all a little apprehensive.

When the selection was about to end, a few tall and burly men did not leave. They begged the court to give them another chance.

Zhu Biao was disturbed by their yelling, and walked out directly: "Why are you making a fuss here, and you still haven't dispersed."

"My lord, we also want to go to sea with you in the future." Several big men didn't recognize Zhu Biao as the prince, they knelt down and said.

"You don't know water, and you don't know anything else. Why do you still have to go to sea, just so that when you go to sea in the future, the imperial court will give each of you tens of taels of resettlement fees?"

Several men looked at Zhu Biao: "We are men, we must fight hard and make a living."

"Wandering around. You may lose your life. If you don't know how to water, you will die. What about your wives, children and parents." Zhu Biao said.

"Our children can't suffer with us for a lifetime. I heard that there are many good things overseas. After coming to the capital, we have gained knowledge. Even if we die, there are still dozens of taels of silver for our family to save money. It’s enough to feed them for a lifetime. If we don’t go, we will never have a bright future.”

"Yeah, my child is getting older, and I'm going to get married in a few years. I have to prepare some money for his marriage. I know a lot, sir. I can make dried vegetables and dried fruits. I have strength and can do anything. Please accept it." Get off us."

Hearing Zhu Biao said that they need to know water, they immediately took off their clothes, lay down on the big tank next to them and began to hold their breath.

Looking at them, Zhu Biao said, "Put on your clothes quickly. After entering the Maritime Bureau, you still need to train for about half a year. Whether you can go to sea with them depends on your hard work."

The few men thanked each other with gratitude, nodded and followed the officials of the official department to leave for registration.

Sanbao said: "Master, what if..."

"They can do it. A man who fights for his family will definitely not be bad, and he will work harder to keep them.

In addition, the Ming Commercial Bureau and the Maritime Bureau also need a lot of handymen. They go to the people who have never been there, pick some who have no livelihood and poor families, and recruit them as handymen to feed them.Father's order must be carried out. "

Sambo nodded and left.

What kind of people to recruit is also Zhu Biao's deliberate decision. To go to sea, there must be professional sailors and ship attendants, advanced ships and advanced seagoing personnel to ensure smooth sailing.

Now, because Lao Zhu was banned for a short period of time before, although he canceled it after persuading himself, there is a shortage of these people.

That's why he recruited and selected, and then trained.

 Ask for collection, ask for subscription.
