Chapter 396
Ouyang Ye knew that after he issued the order to "build warships and train navy", the military expenditure of the heavy-work began to tilt towards the navy.
In the past two years, Dagan has built three large official shipyards in Bohai Bay, coastal areas of Fujian Province, and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, specifically used to build sea ships, especially naval warships.
Not only that, Dagan also opened a college dedicated to training naval institutions in the north and south, namely the Beiyang Naval Academy and the Nanyang Naval Academy.
In addition, three naval fleets of Beiyang, Donghai and Nanyang are being trained.
Whether it is the students, teachers of the Naval Academy, or the first navy of the three fleets, they are recruited and selected from the original Inland Water Division.
This is done to ensure the core of the navy, and its foundation comes from the army of great force, not anywhere else.
However, this year, the Naval Academy began an enrollment expansion plan. It was obviously not enough to just select students from the original inland waters, so the enrollment channel was opened to the public.
Ouyang Ye walked to the newspaper boy and spent one-year-old yuan to buy a newspaper. He probably browsed the relevant content of the Naval Academy's enrollment above, so that the Beiyang Naval Academy's enrollment requirements could have a more specific understanding of the requirements for the Beiyang Naval Academy's enrollment.
Overall, the standard for enrollment of the Naval Academy is quite high.
For example, it is required to be literate, to be innocent in family background, to be good physical fitness, etc.
And these definitely do not mean that whatever you say in your registration information is, but that you have to go through the Naval Academy’s enrollment assessment.
However, the navy's military pay is quite high, nearly twice that of an ordinary army.
Sitting down in a nearby teahouse, I ordered a pot of good tea, and carefully read all the other contents in the newspaper. Ouyang Ye couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Although he raised the idea of the newspaper, after a year or two, he still had only the official newspapers.
The reason for this is that the literacy rate of the people is still too low. There are not many people who are literate, so naturally not many people who buy newspapers to read.
In addition, the delay in news transmission in various places is also a major reason that restricts the development of newspapers - if you want to run a daily newspaper, you can only use the area of a government as the reporting scope.
If it is based on the national scope, even if it is run by the official, it is currently the limit to reaching three days of publication.
There are not many people buying newspapers and newspapers are not prosperous, so naturally there is no civil power to invest in them.
But Ouyang Ye believes this is only temporary.
The basic education work of hard work starts from three years of Ganli, while in Jing Province it is one or two years earlier. At present, primary schools are in three years, which means that a group of people who can read and read can be cultivated in three years.
Because of the enrollment of students every year, at present, the provinces that initially started to carry out three years of compulsory education in Ganli have taught at least two batches of graduates.
If this continues, in just four or five years, the literacy rate of teenagers and even young people will be significantly improved.
Ouyang Ye just flashed a few thoughts and didn't care much about the development of the newspaper. His thoughts quickly turned back to Navy-related matters.
"According to the current development speed of the navy, perhaps next year, the exiled imperial court in Nanyu can be launched, and even the capture of Yingzhou Island and destroy the Xianshan Sect."
According to the information discovered by the Yu Ministry, although the disciples of the Xianshan Sect did not directly participate in the Nanyu court's harassment and attacked coastal prefectures, they were very helpful to the Nanyu exiled court at sea.
Especially this year, the naval fleet began to conquer the "Japanese pirates" in the coastal areas. It is often found that there are many martial arts masters among the Japanese pirates. According to investigations, some of them also come from the Xianshan Sect.
In secret, Ouyang Ye would not keep the Xianshan Sect.
Moreover, Yingzhou Island lives with hundreds of thousands of people and is rich in resources. If it can be incorporated into the rule of Dagan, it will be at least equivalent to adding two places to the two palaces.
Therefore, even if the Xianshan Sect did not secretly fight against the big fight, the senior leaders of the big fight would have a high probability of finding a reason to make Yingzhou Island and the Xianshan Sect join.
Restrained his thoughts, Ouyang Ye ordered two snacks with local characteristics. While drinking tea and eating snacks, he listened to the discussions of some people in the teahouse.
Soon, he heard something that was interesting-
"I heard that no, someone has seen the huge sea eagle near Heihong Island recently."
“Huge? How huge is it?”
"I heard that when the sea eagle flew past, its wings covered the sky and the sun, just like the legendary big roc!"
"Cover the sky and the sun? I'm afraid that no one who said this really went to see the sea eagle? To be honest, I went to sea all year round and saw many sea eagles, with the largest wingspan of more than three meters. For such a large sea eagle, the first time you see it will be scared, so what you heard about is that those cowards are rare and weird."
"Things are never like you said." The person who spoke at the beginning retorted, "Does Liu Heilong know? He is no less going to sea than you. This incident was originally reported from him."
"What Liu Heilong said? You didn't lie to me?"
"I'll lie to you to count this." The man who spoke stretched out his little finger.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Ouyang Ye's thoughts were tempted again.
Speaking of which, he had never used the mother-child psychic pill he obtained from the system. Later, the system space was unlocked into a space grid. There was no second bottle of mother-child psychic pill, nor a pill recipe, so he was even more reluctant to use it easily.
In the past two years, he has traveled all over the world and has always wanted to meet something suitable for mounts or cultivate high-value alien beasts, and conquer them with the mother-child psychic pill.
Unfortunately, although he traveled through many famous mountains and rivers, and even went deep into the Dragon Forest, where there were rumored that there were terrifying strange beasts, he had never encountered strange beasts worthy of his use of the mother-child psychic pill.
So, when he heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but become interested in the huge sea eagle.
Compared with other strange beasts, Ouyang Ye is still more interested in strange beasts that can carry manned flights.
Therefore, he decided that as long as the sea eagle was really big enough and his age was not old, he would conquer it with the mother-child psychic pill.
Of course, the premise is that he can meet this big eagle...
Heihong Island is near Liugong Island on the southeast coast of Weihai Prefecture. In the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Ye took a small sea boat to the island.
There is a large fishing village on the island and a large wharf, and there are restaurants, teahouses, inns and cargo warehouses on the pier. Although the scale is not large, there are at least one or two.
Ouyang Ye asked someone to inquire, and soon found out Liu Heilong's whereabouts.
It was also at this time that he realized that Liu Heilong was actually a former gang member.
The reason why it is said to be a former gang member is that although the current big fight has not explicitly allowed people from the world to form gangs, it has cracked down on illegal and irregular matters, such as charging protection fees from merchants, smuggling, kidnapping and extortion, and being a thug for others, etc.
Therefore, the money prospects of the gang members suddenly became dim, and many people quit the gang and began to do some relatively "legitimate" businesses.
This is true for Liu Heilong.
Of course, the reason why Ouyang Ye easily found out about this news was that Liu Heilong was the third leader of the Emperor's Black Shark Gang, and he was very famous and the first local "big figure" to withdraw from the gang industry, so the story spread widely.
After relocating from a gang member, Liu Heilong opened three warehouses and worked part-time fishing.
The latest warehouse on Heihong Island is opened by Liu Heilong. It was already sunset. When Ouyang Ye arrived in front of the warehouse, Liu Heilong was sitting in the yard eating cakes with fish soup.
"San Master, this person is looking for you." A young man who didn't know whether it was Liu Heilong's younger brother or the employee of the warehouse led Ouyang Ye to the yard and said to Liu Heilong.
