This is a very serious statement.

It was also the first time for Mantou and the others to hear Liu Yu say such heavy words, and their expressions were serious.

Sinner......

These two words are a bit heavy.

It wasn't until these people nodded solemnly that Liu Yu smiled.

"Yes, that's how it should be. I have never said such heavy words to you before, but today I said it, so you can know it in your own hearts. Don't spread the word. ”

Stretched out his hand and counted the eight people around him, and said: "If you want to have the strength to fight the Dutch in the South Seas, you must have at least eight warships." That's it, I don't have to say more. It's good that you know what to expect. ”

Several people were happy in their hearts at this time, and nodded again and again.

They know that they are not allowed to make dummies but their names. Liu Yu is not qualified to directly appoint the captain, but his suggestion power must have sufficient weight.

The words have been said so clearly, and several people have secretly made up their minds in their hearts.

At that time, as soon as the French ship arrives, it is necessary to redouble its efforts so as not to become the "sinner of Zhuxia" in Liu Yu's mouth.

Thinking that this time France only sold two ships, and if you built it yourself, even if you had money and craftsmen, it would take two years to complete a batch.

If you want at least eight warships, and at least be able to shoot and fire, I'm afraid it will be four or five years later, to say the least.

Moreover, these eight warships are only a minimum number, which means that they cannot afford the slightest defeat. If you really want to make sure that everything is safe, the more the merrier, and the number should be doubled.

The Austrian kingdom of Europa was thousands of miles away, and they had never even seen the appearance of Charles VI, but now they were praying to all the gods one by one, only asking that the king of Austria could live at least another five or six years, and if he could live another seven or eight years, then it would be the best.

…………

During the voyage of the fleet, Liu Yu found Lin Yunwen to meet alone.

At this meeting, Lin Yunwen's attitude towards Liu Yu has changed from the habitual respect under the official standard at the beginning to the amazing respect of the people from the perspective of a simple businessman at this time.

He didn't know what Liu Yu and the shogun had talked about, but he knew two things.

Liu Yu was the first "Tang maritime merchant" to meet the shogun.

Liu Yu made thirteen trade cards.

The entire maritime merchants of Dashun, from Jiangsu, Zhejiang to Fujian, are only twenty-five.

In order to get a trade card, the town of Nagasaki did not know that there were many murderous and ridiculous stories.

There are those who secretly ask their competitors about the amount of bribes, there are those who write letters of gratitude and hate to show loyalty to the shogunate in the same tone as the emperor, there are those who hijack the other party's ships in private, and there are those who raise the price of each other's goods on land.

Lin Yunwen has seen a lot.

Now Liu Yu got thirteen at once, and when he first heard the news, Lin Yunwen thought he was dreaming.

Liu Yu is not generous, but he abides by the rules.

said that the dividends given to him have never been less.

For this alone, Lin Yunwen has been convinced.

After all, the other party is an official, and he really saw the official who did not bribe but gave him dividends according to the rules.

Moreover, Liu Yu never revealed the hierarchical attitude of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", nor did he have an attitude of contemptuous of businessmen, at least in Lin Yunwen's opinion, he did not show it.

According to Lin Yunwen's observation, Liu Yu understands trade very well.

However, after meeting alone this time, after listening to what Liu Yu asked him to do, Lin Yunwen was a little incomprehensible.

"My lord, for the trade of the Japanese country, the cost is not a problem, whoever has the ability to believe in the card, who can make money. Since adults have a letter card, why do they need to find someone to participate in the shares? Isn't this giving money to people for nothing? ”

Lin Yunwen was puzzled, and Liu Yu asked him to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the south to receive the goods, release the news, and find someone to participate in the shares.

Don't even think about it, this kind of thing...... As long as the news is released, there will definitely be people who rush inside.

The trade with Japan is very special, and getting a letter card is equivalent to getting real money and silver, and at the most expensive time, the bribe price of a letter card is seven or eight thousand taels of silver.

With letter cards, is money an issue?

Lin Yunwen thought that he had traveled to Japan many times in the past few years, and he had handled all the silver he earned, less than hundreds of thousands of taels.

Not to mention thirteen trade cards, it is thirty, and the cost is enough.

Even if it's not enough, even if you go to loan sharks, you have to make money.

Now you have to find someone to participate in the shares, isn't this giving money to others?

Liu Yu didn't say the reason, after all, there were too many reasons, so he just said: "You just have to do it." Tell them that I only need 600,000 taels to make 30% of the shares, and dividends will be distributed every year. On a first-come, first-served basis, but each person is limited to a maximum of 20,000 taels. ”

"Don't mention my name, you Lin Yunwen must have been well-known among maritime merchants in the past few years, and everyone knows that you are the bow of the ship. Presumably, as soon as you say this, the crowd of responders will step through the threshold. ”

Thirteen trade cards, thirty percent of shares, are roughly equivalent to four cards. The price is 600,000 taels, which is about equal to only tens of thousands of taels of a card. After all, the purchase money does not need to be paid by shareholders.

This price is not expensive at all in the eyes of those who know, after all, it is unknown whether you can get a card when you go to Japan every year. And if you take it once, you have to spend a sum of money, and the wolf has more meat and less meat, and the person in charge of the meat has to be bribed, and this is still every year.

Liu Yu took thirteen cards at once, a total of twenty-five cards, and some of the cards that could be obtained were completely out of chance this year.

This year, some customs agreed that money and goods were in their hands, but they could not trade with Japan.

As Liu Yu said, Lin Yunwen has become famous in the Dongyang Hai business circle in recent years, and everyone knows that he is "capable", and he can not only get a normal letter card every year, but also a temporary card, which is enough to prove how strong the strength behind it is.

Fame is the appeal in the circle.

There is no problem with equity fundraising, Lin Yunwen just can't figure out why he gave away the money for nothing?

"Your Excellency...... Do you want to think about this again? ”

"Don't think about it, I've made up my mind. In addition to the matter of equity participation, it is also necessary to contact some rice sellers in Siam. Priority is given to their shares, not only money, but also ships can be used as shares. 600,000 taels of silver, 6,000 shares, 100 taels per share. A minimum of 100 taels can be shared. I clearly told them that I was giving money, the first time I cooperated, and I bought a trust. ”

Lin Yunwen is just an errandist, and he is resolute when he listens to what Liu Yu said, although he doesn't know what the way is here, he can only do it.

Thinking that he can be regarded as the first month near the water, how can he not borrow tens of thousands of taels and buy some shares? Are you still worried about having no money to spend?

Thinking about Liu Yu's identity again, if he does too much, I am afraid that not only will it not be beneficial, but it will also be a disaster.

But the urge to make money in my heart couldn't be suppressed, and I couldn't help asking, "My lord...... Can I take a stake? ”

"Naturally. But it can only be 20,000 taels, not more. Don't do some boring tricks, 20,000 taels will be given to you, but I don't want to see you do more with pseudonyms and the like. In this matter, there is another saying, when the government will collect stamp duty, and it will have its own government guarantee, whoever belongs is whom, and you should not be clever. ”

With a slight warning, Lin Yunwen hurriedly nodded.

Liu Yu calculated that thirty percent of the shares raised were still seventy percent.

This seven is done, and the emperor has to be given two and a half percent, and then the emperor will be given the pseudonym of "Long Aotian", if the emperor agrees.

Make fake accounts yourself, change your name, and make a three-and-a-half-fold one, including your friends, family, naval officers, etc. It is necessary to come up with half of the household government, but this has to be done by the emperor.

The remaining one percent will be let the nobles become shareholder, and the nobles will definitely be bound to this at that time.

They have money and nowhere to spend it, so they are always thinking about picking the little land near the capital. In the future, if there is a real war, there will be enough forces to support it.

Liu Yu said that even if it is to give money to those who have invested in the shares, and spend money to buy trust, it is not a lie.

The strength of a single person is limited, the efficiency of the official camp is nonsense, and if you want to do great things, you have to gather the strength of everyone.

The money of the household government can only maintain that Dashun will not collapse, and it is expected that the household government will pay for something new that is not in line with the common sense of the past, but the officials are unwilling, and the emperor does not have the courage to do so.

Nowadays, Japan's trade door has opened a small hole slightly, and in addition to the thirteen trade cards, there are also things such as Siamese rice transportation.

In the future, if you want to try to change from water transportation to sea transportation, you must also have a strong caravan to prove that it can really be done with very low losses.

It is also necessary to start the layout, reconnaissance, surveying and mapping in the South Seas in advance, and in the future, tie a large number of maritime merchants to the chariots passing through the South Seas.

All of this requires more money and more people.

Joint-stock system, Dashun is not without a prototype, but if you want to penetrate into the hearts of the people, you need to sprinkle out some rice first.

As for the problems of limited liability, joint and several family raids, and joint several, they need to be solved slowly, rather than after all these problems have been solved.

Now stuff the emperor into it, at least for more than ten years, the emperor will definitely be short of money.

After beating Dzungar, the household government will pay some, and the emperor will also pay some privately.

Relatively speaking, it didn't cost much money to fight Dzungaria, and the real places where it was spent were still to come: the garrisons in the Western Regions, the reclamation, and the immigrants, at least for more than ten years, were all negative returns.

Once the battle in Dzungaria is over, the emperor will see with his own eyes the power of the new army, and he will definitely have to carry out some military reform, which will also require money.

Only by taking advantage of the emperor's lack of money can the emperor try something new.

Only by trying the sweetness of new things can we support them.

In order to be able to get the emperor's support, Liu Yu has to do more things to take off his pants and fart.

Thinking that starting this year, the annual share dividend will be sent to the palace first.

Let the emperor see the silver with his own eyes, and then transport it back to Weihai to put it into the navy.

Maybe the emperor said that there was no need to do this, and there were still losses on the way, but he must be happy in his heart.

Take off your pants and fart like this, not only do it, but you have to do it often in the future.

If you do well this year, you should be able to send a large amount of dividends to the emperor, hundreds of thousands of taels or hundreds of thousands of taels, which is already a huge amount of money for the emperor.

Dashun does not have so many imperial villages, and the few dollars in the emperor's inner money are pitiful, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are placed in front of him, and the impact must be huge.

No matter how much money there is in the treasury of the household government, it is not the emperor's, at least not in theory.

The reality is such a situation, the imperial power is too strong, and within a few years for the time being, the emperor can be revived and abolished with a word. The ritual of slapping the horse cannot be omitted.
