    Tianjin, the correct name at this time should be Tianjin Wei.

    Tianjin is abbreviated as Jin, which means the place where the emperor spent time. It is also known as Jingu, Jinmen, etc.

    Tianjin began with the opening of the Grand Canal in the Sui Dynasty. The intersection of the South Canal and the North Canal, known as the "Sanhui Haikou" in history, is the earliest birthplace of Tianjin.

    After the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Tianjin became a water and land terminal for the transportation of grain and silk from the south to the north. In the Jin Dynasty, "Zhigu Village" was set up in Zhigu, and in the Yuan Dynasty, "Haijin Town" was set up. It was a military town and a grain transshipment center.

    By the Ming Dynasty, the Three Tianjin Guards were established here, so they were called Tianjin Guards.

    Because Tianjin is the end point of the northern section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and because Tianjin is close to the sea, it has always been an important military and water transportation town, and can be regarded as an important gateway to the capital.

    At this time, dozens of four-wheeled carriages produced in Xishan slowly drove into the city of Tianjin. Each carriage was filled with large and small boxes. These boxes seemed to be very heavy, so that this four-wheeled carriage with good performance  The wheel carriages made a creaking sound, as if they could not bear the weight on them.

    Behind the dozens of carriages, hundreds of palace guards followed closely, looking around with vigilant eyes from time to time. Behind the palace guards were thousands of people wearing uniforms of Xishan Maritime Academy.  students.

    The thousands of students followed in high spirits and in uniform steps. The leaders were three of Liu Jin's students, Huang Jinquan, Tong Yuan and Lin Shuhong.

    At this time, the three of them were wearing tight-fitting student uniforms. Like all maritime academy students, they had short hair, shaved beards, strong bodies, and determined eyes.

    Following closely behind the three of them were Tian Erniu, Zhao Houhou, Dahu, and Silly Xiong. Behind the four of them were a row of students from the Maritime Academy. They were very neat and marched in unison, like a battle-hardened army.  .

    After three months of theoretical study and basic training, the first batch of students at the Maritime Academy finally went to sea for practical training and short-range ocean navigation training.

    Theory is theory after all, and it must be integrated with practice, especially when you are going to the Golden Continent thousands of miles away.

    In a carriage in front of him, Zhu Houzhao was lying comfortably on a thick cotton pad, looking very lazy, and then looked at the slightly reserved Liu Jin with a joking look.

    "Old Liu, it's okay. I didn't expect you to know how to train soldiers. The thousands of students from Xishan Maritime Academy are more impressive than the hundreds of palace guards I brought out. This neat queue moves in unison.  At such a pace, just listening to this sound makes you feel like there are thousands of troops rushing towards you."

    ¡°Tsk, tsk, it¡¯s really awesome and admirable.¡±

    Zhu Houzhao really looked at Liu Jin with admiration again. This time when he came to Tianjin, he was also appointed by Emperor Hongzhi to handle the fleet heading to Huangjinzhou.

    Although Zhu Houzhao was only ten years old, in the words of later generations, he was still a child, but he was the prince after all, the only son of Emperor Hongzhi, and the heir to the Ming Dynasty's Splendid Country, so at this time he was asked to handle the fleet heading to Golden Continent.  Things can be regarded as a small experience.

    Of course, the reason why Emperor Hongzhi was reassured was because Liu Jin existed, and Du Mingen was his partner. It was also a good choice for the prince to come out and have a look.

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are exaggerating. I am just following the script and training these maritime students according to the contents in some books. They have to go to the Golden Continent, and they will encounter various dangers in the waves of the sea, so this  Necessary training is still required.¡±

    "You must have a certain degree of combat effectiveness, otherwise you won't be able to resist when you encounter pirates, attack by local barbarians after arriving in Golden Continent, etc."

    "So in addition to this necessary training, I also ask His Highness the Crown Prince to help me with this weapon. They must bring some weapons when they go to sea, otherwise they will not be able to protect themselves."

    Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao and thought that this boy was going to hide his identity for a long time. Unexpectedly, he revealed his identity this time. Now he was wearing a golden robe, so Liu Jin had to change.  Be more respectful.

    "Don't worry, this matter is taken care of by me."

    "But why do we have to bring so much money this time?"

    Zhu Houzhao agreed readily, then thought about it and asked again.

    "Sailing to the sea is not a simple matter. From the ships that go out to sea, the sailors who go to sea, and the items needed for going to sea, etc., everyEveryone has such extremely strict requirements, and it is not possible to go to sea casually.  "

    "The sea is no better than inland lakes. The sea is vast and boundless, and the wind and waves are dangerous. You must be fully prepared to ensure safety in the sea."

    "These all mean that money needs to be spent, which means that a lot of money needs to be spent. The tens of thousands of taels of silver that were originally agreed upon as a partnership are not enough."

    Liu Jin sorted out his thoughts slightly and said slowly: "Of course these are not the most important. We brought so much money here, naturally it is to get rich."

    "Although this sea is dangerous and many people are fighting for their lives, there is also endless wealth on this sea, and the profits of maritime trade are very huge."

    "When our fleet comes back from the Golden Continent with boxes of gold and boxes of silver, countless people will flock to the sea and to the Golden Continent. At that time, we will make a lot of money.  when."

    "So we should start planning now. We need ships to go to sea. We can open a shipbuilding factory now. By then, those who need to go to the Golden Continent to find treasures and gold will have to buy our ships."

    "Of course, as long as we have a ship and a crew, we can go out to sea to find gold and silver, and we can also sell our Ming Dynasty's silk, porcelain, tea, etc. to all over the world. Then we won't need all this nonsense.  business, we can sell the goods to Europe."

    ¡°When boatloads of silk, porcelain, tea, etc. are shipped out, what comes back is boatloads of gold and silver. Only then will we be truly rich. The little silver we have now is nothing.¡±

    Zhu Houzhao listened carefully to Liu Jin's words and nodded from time to time. He now had no doubt about Liu Jin's ability to make money. A small glass factory allowed him, a poor prince, to turn around and become a wealthy prince.

    Now that I heard that the money earned by opening a glass factory is only a small amount, my eyes narrowed, looking like a money-crazed person.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
