Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It is worth mentioning that when Liu Mingqi handed several drawings including the four-masted sailing ship to Miao Yan, the two parties had an agreement.

    For every four-masted sailboat sold, the shipyard had to give Liu Mingqi five thousand taels of silver.

    This is the respect given to the person who created this sailboat, and also the respect for the value of intellectual labor.

    Liu Mingqi and Miao Yan particularly emphasized this point. Although Miao Yan did not understand it very well, he still agreed to the request out of respect for Liu Mingqi's authority in this regard.

    ¡° Anyway, you will make money only if you sell it. If you don¡¯t sell it, you won¡¯t make a penny.

    ¡° Then they also agreed that the drawings Liu Mingqi gave them could only be manufactured in the water transport shipyard and were not allowed to be produced elsewhere. If they were leaked, they would be held accountable.

    Of course, Liu Mingqi¡¯s own production is not subject to this restriction.

    Of course Miao Yan readily agreed to this and specifically greeted those who kept and used the drawings.

    If there is any leakage, they will be beheaded and the whole family will be sent to the bitter cold plateau area of ????Xikang.

    The people in the Caoyun Yamen knew that others would not dare to do this, but Miao Yan must be ruthless.

    So far, there is no news from other shipyards.

    Of course, if they have this channel, they will not manufacture it - you have manufactured it and the finished product is there. Can you say that this is your own idea?  Do not make jokes!  Just wait for the Caoyun Yamen to inspect it!

    Liu Mingqi¡¯s main fear is that these drawings will be obtained by the Japanese, or even spread to the West.

    Both groups of people can make four-masted sailboats. By that time, Dakang's slight advantage will be offset.

    Unless it is like Great Britain, it uses its own technological advantages to widen the gap.

    Even if you have similar drawings, you don¡¯t have my mechanical skills or my supporting gunboat skills, and if you put them together, it¡¯s nothing.

    Such strong confidence, of course, also comes from strong strength, the comprehensive strength of a country in this regard!

    Come back to the front.

    Liu Mingqi poured a cup of tea for Chen Yuhua and looked at him expectantly, expecting him to give her an answer.

    He has decided that even if he only buys one, he will help him get it first!

    ¡°Shills and serious buyers are two different things!

    Chen Yuhua said without hesitation: "If your highness can have the goods, I want to buy five ships!"

    "Five ships!?"

    Liu Mingqi almost jumped!

    "It's not because the five ships are worth 750,000 taels of silver, but because these five four-masted sailing ships are bound to go on a long voyage!

    It is equivalent to advertising your four-masted sailboat throughout Asia. This effect is very powerful!

    He also said simply: "Okay! Don't worry, old gentleman, their operation is very good, and they will be delivered one after another by the second half of next year at the latest! We will definitely use the best materials and let the best craftsmen  Made for you!¡±

    Miao Yan left the capital with Liu Mingqi¡¯s drawings before the Spring Festival last year and went to the Caoyun Yamen.

    During the Spring Festival, he took the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers to his side and gave them enough food to nurse them back to health.

    At the beginning of March, when Liu Mingqi arrived from Guimenguan to Jiangnan, the water transport shipyard was already making four-masted sailboats.

    If it weren't for the fear of possible invasion by foreign enemies, Miao Yan asked Liu Mingqi to have one hundred Qianniu Guards, and asked them to lead the soldiers to train for three hours a day, and in the next three months, they would fight against Japanese pirates.  On the land of Jiangnan, maybe the first four-masted sailing ship has come out now.

    But now there is also big trouble.

    Miao Yan only left more than a thousand skilled craftsmen of various types in the water transport shipyard, and then set off with 30,000 cavalry soldiers.

    After such a fight, the soldiers lost a total of more than 8,000 people, but the number of killed enemies exceeded 70,000, which can be called extremely terrifying.

    Precisely because of such a good record, the soldiers were "spied".

    Jiangnan Governor Liu Renhuai, Southeast Governor Jia Xiaode, and even Gyeonggi Governor Xiong Wenqing all wanted to "secondment" them. On the one hand, they were stationed for defense, and on the other hand, they were allowed to teach more sergeants and train the "Qi Jiguang Formation" well, so that they could  He also trained a strong army for himself.

    This is also because of Miao Yan's special status, which makes them dare not "mischief", otherwise there will be no secondment, and they may be directly transferred to their own subordinates.

    But Miaoyan also hindersThe determination of the lackey under the sect!  "

    Liu Mingqi laughed dumbly, "No more?"

    "besides."

    Chen Xiaowei said seriously: "We all know that you want to promote four-masted sailing ships, but no one is willing to spend a lot of money to try it, so you ordered ten ships for Haibo's family and wanted them to be the pioneers of the experiment.  Bar?"

    Liu Mingqi did not answer.

    Chen Xiaowei thought to herself and said: "We are very familiar with Qin Haibo. If Qin Haigong was still around thirty years ago, then your decision would have been very correct! Because you have strong naval connections,  The family also has countless elite maritime soldiers, so it would be perfect to turn them into maritime trade.

    However, this generation of Qin Haibo was greedy for their own enjoyment and one-third of an acre of land. They did not manage the connections left by Qi Haigong at all. They had the mentality of being content with being rich, so many of Qi Haigong's subordinates had already  They dispersed and grew old. If they wanted to gather together again, there was no way.

    So even if you ask Xu Dongping, who is quite adventurous, to develop overseas trade, judging from the fact that he does not understand sea trade at all, within three to five years, he may only be able to do business in Baekje, Japan, Ryukyu, and Yiju.  Doing sea trade business in other places cannot expand to further places.  "

    Having said this, Chen Xiaowei, who had been staring at Liu Mingqi, said word by word: "If the little lady is not mistaken, His Highness should want to leave the Strait of Malacca within five years to fight with those red-haired ghosts.  ,Right?"

    Liu Mingqi¡¯s eyes moved slightly, but still had no words.

    "If this is the case, you need subordinates who are more courageous, subordinates who are more willing to sacrifice everything for you, subordinates who are willing to move forward regardless of life or death." Chen Xiaowei said, "And our Chen family has nothing, so it is even more important  I can completely attach myself to you and become your pawn and lackey!¡±

    Liu Mingqi smiled, "Since there is nothing left, why do you have such strong self-confidence and think you can do it?"

    Chen Xiaowei's face became solemn: "Although our Chen family has nothing, we know all the details of these maritime merchants. Moreover, after the accident in our caravan, my father who was rescued by Zhongnu sold all the valuable things in the family.  It is also highly respected by everyone to pay compensation to those servants, servants, etc. who died.

    "Once Your Highness gives us sufficient support and money, we will be able to build the most powerful maritime trade team within three months. No maritime trader can beat us!"  "

    "You still want me to pay for you to buy goods?" Liu Mingqi said in surprise.

    "Not only that, but also the cost of recruiting people, the cost of settling in, various preliminary expenses, etc., which is a huge sum." Chen Xiaowei said, "But as long as you have such a first payment, you will be able to return from overseas for the first time.  Then you¡¯ll get back all your investment!¡±

    ? Okay!

    It¡¯s not just about money.

    If they want to poach people, they have to prevent others from counterattacking. They can only say that they are from Prince Yu's Palace, and then all the pressure will be borne by Prince Yu's Palace.

    Although Liu Mingqi was not afraid, he also felt that this was too rough.

    A family with a gambling habit is not suitable for Liu Mingqi's plan.

    What he wants to implement is the kingly way, using solid strength to advance step by step.

    Tricksters and adventurers alike like to take risks.

    Once it fails, everything is useless.

    This is not good.
