In the evening, the wind was calm and the fleet had to dock on the sea because one of the boats exploring the way forward accidentally hit a reef in the water, causing a hole to break at the bottom of the ship. Although it was not serious, it would take a day to repair it.

In this case, Wang Meng and Captain Jiang could only order the fleet to stop advancing and wait until the damaged ship was repaired before sailing again. Such accidents are actually very common. After all, this is a new route, and they have no knowledge of this route, so whenever they go, the people on the ship will draw a chart for future navigation.

It is rare that there are no winds and waves today, and the ships are very stable on the sea. After dinner, all the ships are having some fun programs. After all, the whole fleet is now depressed. Although it is not serious to hit the reef, it still has some impact on the fleet's psychology.

On the deck of the Americas, Captain Jiang was also distributing dry food for dinner. Many crew members silently received dry food and had to go back to the cabin to rest. Anyway, they didn't have to sail tonight, so they could have a good sleep.

But at this moment, Captain Jiang suddenly shouted: "Don't go back, there will be a very exciting program next!"

After hearing Captain Jiang's words, many people stopped. After all, Captain Jiang's prestige among the crew is still very high, not to mention that it is not dark yet, and there is nothing to do when returning to the cabin, so it is better to wait here.

After the dry food was distributed, Captain Jiang retreated, and then Li Fangyuan walked up. Of course, the crew members knew Li Fangyuan, but because he was a Korean, the crew members were vaguely repelled him. They usually wouldn't call him on their own initiative if they had any problems.

It is precisely because of this that when they saw Li Fangyuan walking to everyone, the crew members also looked surprised, but then they saw Li Fangyuan bowing to the surroundings and said, "I'm not talented, today I'll tell you a story. Most of us who run boats on the sea are from poor families. Do you know how those high-ranking officials and nobles usually live?"

As soon as Li Fangyuan's question came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Indeed, those who are all poor people are from poor people. After all, who would be willing to use their lives to fight on the sea?

Seeing that most people were looking at him, Li Fangyuan smiled again and said, "No one spoke, so I will say something. For poor people, the most important thing is three meals a day, but for dignitaries, three meals a day is the least important thing. Usually, when they wake up in the morning, beautiful maids will serve them to dress and wash..."

This period was not a big explosion of information in later generations. There was a natural class between the poor and the rich, and it could even be said to be isolated by wealth. The poor did not know the lives of the rich, and the rich could not understand the bitterness of the poor, so there was a saying that "why not eat meat minced".

For the poor in this period, they could only guess the lives of dignitaries and nobles from their own life experience, such as the joke that the emperor used a golden hoe to go to the ground. However, the more this happens, the more the poor yearn for the lives of the rich, so Li Fangyuan's words attracted the attention of so many crew members.

Li Fangyuan himself was a noble family. Although he was a Korean aristocrat and his living conditions may not be as good as the Ming aristocrats of the same level, he was still far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In addition, what Li Fangyuan said was all his personal experiences, so every detail was very clear, which also fascinated the crew members. Even if the people who were a little disdainful before were slowly attracted by it.

After everyone on the crew was attracted, Li Fangyuan suddenly changed his mind and smiled mysteriously at everyone, saying, "In general, the life of the rich is so exciting. Even if you don't become an official, you can have all kinds of enjoyment, beauties, food, wine, etc., as much as you want!"

Li Fangyuan's words also made many crew members excited, but then they secretly hated themselves, why aren't they rich? If they have money, they can enjoy the things that the rich have, rather than going out to sea to find the Americas where they don't know where they are?

"I'll ask you another question. Do you know how to become a rich man?" At this time, Li Fangyuan suddenly asked everyone mysteriously again.

"Nonsense, if we knew how to become rich, where would we stay here?" the person below shouted.

"You are wrong, man. You actually know how to become a rich man, and everyone here knows it!" Li Fangyuan replied with a smile again.

"We all know?" All the crew members were stunned. After they realized, they all looked at Li Fangyuan with an incredible look, and even wondered if the other party was talking nonsense?

"No need to doubt everyone. Not only do you know, but I know, but we are also doing this, that is, to find America!" Li Fangyuan shouted suddenly at the end, and his face turned a little more flushed due to excitement.

"It's America again?" Someone below heard the word "America" ​​and immediately said loudly with some disgust. The reason why they fell into this situation is mainly because America. Many people regard America as the object of resentment, so Li Fangyuan's words also aroused their instinctive resentment.

Facing the doubts of everyone, Li Fangyuan was not panicked. He smiled again and said, "I know you are tired of the name America, but I can tell you that you know too little about America, because before the fleet set off, I just told you that America is several times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the sea, and there is not much information."

Li Fangyuan paused and then said, "But I was the last arranged by His Highness of the King of Yan on the boat. And the night before boarding the boat, His Highness of the King of Yan summoned me to the study and told me a lot about America in person, so I know countless times more detailed than you, and some of them are not even aware of the captain!"

As soon as Li Fangyuan said the words, all the people who were a little impetuous just now calmed down. They did not know much about America. Li Fangyuan was actually the person who was personally installed by His Highness Yan. Then his words should be trustworthy.

Seeing everyone quiet, Li Fangyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said again: "Now I will tell you that the reason why King Yan and Old General Zhang insisted on finding America is that in addition to the vast land, the most important thing is that the Americas are full of gold. It can be said that as long as we arrive in America, all of us will become rich. What I said before is your future lives!"

I have to say that Li Fangyuan's words were so inspiring, and the whole speech was one after another. At the beginning, the life of the rich aroused the curiosity and yearning of the crew members, and then let them know that only by reaching America can they live the life of the rich, which is an extremely fatal temptation for everyone.

"Brother Li, what you said is true. There is really gold in America?" Someone below asked loudly, panting. This question was also the voice of all the crew members. They were not stupid, and they were worried that Li Fangyuan would fool them.

"Of course, I believe you also know the silver mine in Japan. The reason why the Ming Dynasty found that silver mine was thanks to the guidance of a person. This person was Li Jie, the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty. There was news of gold in the Americas, and Li Jie also reported it to His Majesty. His Majesty told the Prince of Yan and other princes, would you still have such a false thing?"

When they heard that Li Fangyuan brought out the legendary figure of Li Jie, all the crew members had no doubts. Some of them were soldiers who retired from the navy, and some were friends who followed merchant ships. No matter which one, they had an inseparable relationship with Li Jie, so naturally they also heard of Li Jie's name.
