Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 941 Selection of North American Expedition Team Members

"My lord, these people are all young people who voluntarily go to the New World. There are students from the medical school, engineering department, economics department, and water conservancy department. They are confident in establishing new towns in North America."

Standing in front of Chu Yun are all young people in their 20s. Some of them are old-school scholars who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics, and some are ordinary youths who can only know a few Chinese characters. After entering the Academy of Sciences, they have become different people. Expertise in the field.

Building a town on the west coast of North America is not an easy task. Building everything from scratch requires a variety of talents.

Before Chu Yun went to Nanyang to urge Changyi, Huang Degong, Cao Bianjiao and others to capture Siam, and before returning to the capital, the Oceania expedition team was temporarily prepared. Cheng Hong led the team to the ocean without going through too strict a selection process.And this time the expedition team going to the west coast of North America will be carefully selected.

This new expedition team does not directly select people from the army, but selects young people from the Academy of Sciences who volunteer to go to the New World to establish towns.They have knowledge and enthusiasm and are not so utilitarian.

Dozens of young people neatly lined up in two rows, their eyes full of admiration for Chu Yun, they did not expect that they could see the supreme ruler of the empire.Moreover, Chu Yun is also the founder of the Academy of Sciences, the object of admiration for all students of the Academy of Sciences.

"You are all talents with specific knowledge. You should have stayed on the mainland to contribute to industrial construction, but now you have a more meaningful mission. To go to the new continent, knowledge is second, and the most important thing is loyalty. ! It’s not loyalty to me, but loyalty to China! The towns you build in the New World may develop into one or several provinces in the future, but they are also our provinces in China, so you must keep this in mind all the time.”

Chu Yun lectured in front of them, instilling the idea of ​​unification in this group of juniors who might go to the west coast of North America to establish a stronghold in the future.The colonies of North America cannot be separated as America is to Britain, but as a future province.

"My lord, we voluntarily went to the New World to build towns for Huaxia. We swear, no matter what happens in the New World in the future, we will always be loyal to Huaxia!" one of the engineering students roared.

"Always be loyal to Huaxia!" The other students also shouted enthusiastically.

Chu Yun nodded with satisfaction. The starting point of these people was different from that of the British Christians who immigrated to America at that time. They had a sense of mission for the country and had a closer relationship with the Old Continent.

"My lord, may I take the liberty to ask for your signature?" one of the women said cautiously.

Chu Yun was stunned for a moment before replying: "If you don't dislike my scribbled handwriting..."

"My name is Li Yizhu. I have been in the Agricultural College for four years. I have always heard about Mr. Junzhu. I never expected to meet you like this." The woman handed a new version of "The Wealth of Nations" that added Keynesianism to Chu Yun, A considerable part of the content of this new book was written by Chu Yun, so in addition to Adam Smith, the name of Chu Yun was among the authors of this book, and it was regarded as a holy book by some students of the Academy of Sciences.

Even though Chu Yun's handwriting was very scribbled, Li Yizhu still felt like a treasure. Seeing that Chu Yun was friendly and approachable, the other students couldn't help but also went up to ask for the original handwriting.

Chu Yun was speechless for a while. It seems that the handwriting is not important, the important thing is the identity, and it is obviously a lecture, but it seems to be an autograph session.

"I actually got the military master's handwriting!" Li Yizhu was pleasantly surprised, and when he wanted to talk to Chu Yun again, Chu Yun was already surrounded by enthusiastic students.

"For the safety of the military leader, please come one by one!" Yu Cheng was afraid that someone would attack Chu Yun, so he hurriedly stopped them with other guards.

Chu Yun met the selected young talents, and went to meet the selected soldiers, workers, and farmers.If the people recruited by the Academy of Sciences were to provide engineers, doctors, judges, and scientists to the Kyushu Army’s strongholds in North America, then soldiers, workers, and farmers were the main players in building towns.

"It is estimated that there will be 500 people in the expedition team to the west coast of North America. Among them, there are 37 students from the Academy of Sciences, 50 soldiers, and the rest are workers and farmers. Because of the long distance, the number of workers and farmers also includes theirs. Family members. In order to encourage them to go to the other side of the ocean to open up wasteland, we not only allow them to bring their families, but also provide them with subsidies every month, agreeing that the reclaimed land will not be taxed for the first five years.” The officials in charge of selecting workers and farmers told Chu Yun introduced the current situation.

The Chinese people, especially the peasants, have a strong nostalgia for their hometown, and the idea of ​​resettlement and relocation is deeply ingrained. Unless they have no choice but to have nothing to eat, it is difficult for them to be willing to go to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, which is [-] miles away, to open up wasteland.In order to recruit workers and peasants, the government promised many favorable conditions, and then recruited a group of workers and peasants.

"Try to provide them with good conditions. There are still primitive tribes over there. I don't know if there are any other epidemics that have not been seen before. Even the aftermath must be considered in advance. The storm in the Pacific Ocean is not a joke." Chu Yun Know how dangerous it is to cross the Pacific Ocean.

"All kinds of materials needed to build a stronghold are being prepared, such as herbs, shovels, shovels, pickled food, salt, bedding, etc... and ships are also arranged. 500 people plus sailors are likely to reach nearly 1000 people, If there are supplies, there will be more than ten galleons." The official introduced other information to Chu Yun.

"Don't be too anxious. It will take a long time for us to develop the other side of the ocean. We should make sufficient preparations as much as possible to send a team there." Chu Yun began to prepare for the adventure team to go to the San Francisco area, but the fleet size of 1000 people is already exaggerated. In contrast, Magellan's circumnavigation fleet only had more than 200 crew members.

Another advantage is that with China Mainland as the backing, the expedition team can continuously get supplies.

"They still need to be organized and trained. It is estimated that half a year later they will depart from Tianjinwei on a galleon, go to Yokohama Port for supplies, and then sail along the ocean current to the west coast of North America." The preparing official confirmed the departure time to Chu Yun.

"Yes." Chu Yun did not object to such an arrangement, and half a year was enough time for the expedition team to run in and make adequate preparations.

For things like exploring North America, Chu Yun can only propose a plan from the highest possible height, and then let his subordinates complete it.If he had to intervene in everything, he would be too busy at all.
