0673 Sold the ship
Liu Pei bowed his hands all the way to the left and right, and everyone got up to return the salute. Liu Pei strode to the chief and did not sit down in a hurry, first arched his hand to a few people on the table, and then bowed to the four directions, and said loudly: "Today, you have come here to participate in the celebration banquet, so the first bowl of wine will be paid tribute to the brothers who died in battle!" ”
After Liu Pei finished speaking, he picked up the wine bowl and slowly spilled a bowl of wine on the ground. When the others saw Liu Pei's action, they all got up solemnly and picked up the wine bowl in front of them, and slowly spilled the wine on the ground.
After paying tribute to the fallen soldiers, Liu Pei said again: "Those who came here today are all friends. Today, I prepared a little food and drinks to get drunk with you! He begs for a living together at sea every day, and I hope everyone can help each other! ”
After speaking, Liu Pei grabbed the wine bowl and said again: "The past is no longer available!" Drink this wine today, and never mention all the causes and mistakes! I won't pursue the mistakes, and we are closer if we have a relationship! ”
After Liu Pei finished speaking, he drank the bowl of wine. The maritime merchants applauded one after another, and also took the wine bowl in front of them and drank it all. After this glass of wine, the faces of many people present were much better. Since Liu Pei said that he would not pursue it, that is to say, not only their net worth and life were saved, but even their own property was saved. But I'm afraid I'll have to lower my head and be a man in the future.
After Liu Pei put down the wine bowl, the guard poured him another bowl of wine. This time, Liu Pei did not rush to pick up the wine bowl, but said directly: "You are all great experts in running the sea, so everyone's demand for sea ships is extremely huge. So let me tell you a good news, I am about to open a new shipyard in Taiwan, which is estimated to be completed in half a year. When the time comes, if you need a ship, you can place an order with the shipyard. ”
As soon as Liu Pei's words fell, the entire trading hall exploded with a "boom"! Everyone was talking to Liu Pei. "Lord Longwang, I'll order two now! I'll pay the whole money! ”
"I'm going to order two ships, too, and I'll pay for all of them!"
The noise is getting louder and louder, and the house is about to be overturned! At this time, the shipbuilding cycle was long, and it was in the hands of the government. Those private shipyards can only make some small river boats on the surface, and the big ships in the open sea can only steal
The production of stealing has led to the high price of ocean-going vessels, and the production is not high.
In the midst of the chaos, a person shouted loudly: "Lord Dragon, the little one wants to know if I can order a warship like the one you are using now?" ”
When this shout came out, the audience fell silent! Everyone looked at this idiot intently, and secretly said in their hearts: "If you want to die, don't drag everyone down!" That is the lifeblood of the Dragon King's domination of the sea, how can it be sold to the outside world? ”
This person was also stared at by everyone, and he also felt that he had said something stupid, and his face turned pale with fright! Just when the audience was silent, Liu Bei laughed and said, "Okay! Be ambitious! I actually know how to order a warship! It's not impossible to order a warship, but how to use it must follow my rules! ”
After Liu Pei finished speaking, everyone was so surprised that they couldn't speak! They all turned their heads to look at Liu Pei, wondering what Liu Pei thought? They didn't expect Liu Pei to really agree to this. Isn't Liu Pei afraid of being shaken by others?
How could Liu Pei be afraid that they would shake his position? No matter how many warships they ordered, they were just helping Liu Pei gather more silver taels and train more shipwrights. At that time, Liu Pei's craftsmen will become more and more sophisticated in shipbuilding, and they will naturally build a more powerful fleet, who cares about these people forming a challenge! Besides, even if the boat is taken back, it can't be eaten in a moment.
And Liu Pei has a more ambitious goal in doing this, that is, he wants to use the strength of these maritime merchants to open up more routes and land. Why do white people occupy so many places today? Isn't it because they colonized everywhere during the Age of Discovery, so that these white-skinned guys occupied many good places in the world.
Now that the Age of Discovery has just emerged, Liu Fei has taken the lead here, so that he can occupy the land everywhere with planned immigration. It will not be Caucasian who will occupy the globe at that time. I'm afraid it's the yellow race that wants to occupy a large area of the world. Even if the empire established by Liu Pei splits in the future, the yellow race will be scattered all over the world. Even if World War I and World War II are fought again, it will also be a civil war for the yellow race, not a civil war for the white race? Anyway, in the end, the meat is rotten in the pot. This is the essence of Liu Pei
Idea.
Liu Pei waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and when everyone was quiet, Liu Pei said loudly: "You may think it is strange, why would I release my warship?" Let me tell you a little bit and you will understand that this sea is boundless and connects all directions. And this business on the sea, we can't do it with our people alone! For the sake of business, those Francois dared to sail thousands of miles away to the land of my Ming Dynasty. Why can't I, the Ming people, go to them to do business? Why did the profits in the middle have to be made by these Yi people in vain? However, when our merchant ships go to sea, we will inevitably encounter pirate robbery. Those Francos are not good guys, and they have done a lot of murder and robbery! Therefore, we need to form a fleet to sail, and then the warships will escort everyone, and then everyone will be able to earn more silver in vain? ”
After listening to Liu Pei's words, everyone applauded and praised Liu Pei for his good spirit! Kind-hearted! Liu Pei signaled everyone to be quiet again and said, "But it's too early to say about this matter now. The shipyard is still half a year away from completion, and the rules for the purchase and use of warships have not yet been decided. When the shipyard is built, it's not too late for everyone to come and discuss! ”
Of course, Liu Pei also saw a trace of disdain on the faces of many people. Liu Pei certainly understood their thoughts. In their opinion, these businesses in China's coastal waters are enough for them to eat, so why bother to open up those new routes? How dangerous the outside world is!
But Liu Pei was not in a hurry at all. Liu Pei will set an example for them, and will also bring in some followers. As long as someone tastes the sweetness and brings back a ship full of gold and silver, others will naturally go to sea like crazy!
What Liu Pei has to do is to guide and set the rules. In the future, Liu Pei will win the world, and Liu Pei will not need to contribute to this maritime matter, and these maritime merchants will sweep everything for the sake of silver! With the Netherlands and the British projectile land, what East India Company can be established, then the strength accumulated by Chinese maritime merchants for several generations, or even more than ten generations, not to mention the East India Company, even African companies can open a dozen! At that time, as long as Liu Pei controls the main routes, transit stations and shipbuilding industries in the straits, he will be able to receive a huge amount of silver just for collecting taxes!
