Nantai Shipyard is located in the southeast corner of Fuzhou City, at the confluence of the Taijiang River and the Minjiang River, its scale is large, covering an area of thousands of acres, and it is a large government-run shipyard in the southeast.

However, this Nantai shipyard is not the largest government-run shipyard in Daming, when it comes to the scale of Longjiang shipyard in Jinling, Qingjiang shipyard in northern Jiangsu, and Weihe shipyard in Shandong are all larger than Nantai shipyard, and Nantai shipyard should be the smallest among the four major government-owned shipyards in Daming.

If it was in the Hongwu period at the beginning of the dynasty, this Nantai shipyard was nothing at all, but due to the frequent implementation of the sea ban by the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the shrinking income of the imperial court, there was no money to build warships, Longjiang Shipyard, Qingjiang Shipyard, and Weihe Shipyard were basically abandoned, and there was only an empty shelf left, and there were no craftsmen resident at all, and no ships could be built.

This Nantai shipyard is different, because Zhejiang and Fujian have a large number of maritime merchants who are prohibited from going to sea to do business, they naturally dare not go to Jinling or northern Jiangsu and Shandong to customize sea vessels, this Nantai shipyard has almost become the only place where they can book large sea vessels, so the business here is quite prosperous.

Before Zhu Kun came to the southeast, it was simply a crowded place, and the orders of maritime merchants were one after another, and they couldn't be completed at all.

At this time, although the imperial court's maritime ban was stricter than before, and the officials and soldiers were also frantically clearing out pirates and pirates, the Nantai shipyard did not stop working, because everyone thought that the imperial court could not keep an eye on the southeast forever, as long as the gust of wind passed, the business at sea would be done.

Of course, at this time, the business of Nantai Shipyard is incomparable with before, after all, the maritime merchants raised by the four giants of maritime merchants are basically cleaned up by Zhu Kun, and most of the other traders are still waiting, daring to pee against the wind, and there are not many people who come to customize sea vessels.

Although he is a distant relative of the Lin family of Zhangpu, but it also took a lot of silver to get the position, originally he thought that he could make a big profit here, but he never thought that he had just taken office and met Zhu Kun, a stunned young man, and he killed the sea merchants in Zhejiang and Fujian, and the business of the Nantai Shipyard was not as good as a day, and he didn't know if he could get the old book back.

On this day, he was sitting in the duty room bored and reading "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when the official outside suddenly knocked on the door lightly and whispered: "My lord, Yang Laoba, a merchant in Quanzhou, asks to see you." ”

Yang Laoba, this name is so familiar, he thought about it carefully, and then remembered that Yang Laoliu, a merchant in Quanzhou, was once a sea merchant under their maritime wealth, but he had been slaughtered by Zhu Kun.

This Yang Lao Ba should be Yang Lao Liu's younger brother, it seems that this guy is ready to inherit his brother's mantle and continue to run the business at sea.

This offshore business naturally needs shipbuilding, and the business is coming!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly closed the book and said loudly: "Quick, bring him in." ”

After a while, the official led people in, but instead of one person, the official brought in two people, a middle-aged man and a young man.

This middle-aged man Lin Changshui vaguely recognized the appearance of Yang Laoliu, and it is estimated that this is Yang Laoliu's younger brother Yang Laoba.

However, he had no impression of the young man.

He couldn't help but ask coldly, "Yang Laoba, who is this?" ”

This maritime merchant can't let people do it indiscriminately, it has nothing to do with their maritime giants, and if they want to run a maritime business, they basically don't even have a door.

Yang Laoba hurriedly arched his hand and said: "My lord, this is a cousin of the villain's distant relatives, and his family is doing business in Jinling, and he has some assets. My lord, you also know that my sixth brother was caught by Zhu Kun last time when he even brought people with goods, and we almost lost our pants, so the villain wants to run a business with this nephew, and I ask the adults to be accommodating. ”

No wonder this kid looks like a son-in-law, it turns out that his family is from Jinling, and what comes out of Nandu is different.

Lin Changshui looked at the young man carefully, and suddenly asked, "Boy, what is your name, what business does your family have, what are your assets, how much money do you want to spend this time, and how many boats do you want to build?" ”

The young man unhurriedly arched his hand and said: "Villain Yang Qingshan, the family is in the timber business, as for the assets, there are not a lot, there are a few forest farms in Huizhou, this time the villain brought 20,000 taels of silver from home, and wants to build ten Cangshan ships, I don't know if it is enough." ”

This kid seems to be a merchant's son, and he talks one by one, and his sentence "brought 20,000 taels of silver from home" really makes people's hearts itch.

Big business!

Originally, this kind of merchant who had not dealt with it had to be inspected carefully before he could get in touch with the maritime business, but at this time, Lin Changshui was in a hurry to make money, such a big business, and he had to check it.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said: "Originally, 20,000 taels of silver is enough to build ten Cangshan ships, but at this time, the imperial court is strictly controlled, and we have to be careful when building ships, so there will naturally be more money to dredge up the relationship, so 20,000 taels of silver can only build nine Cangshan ships, what do you think?" ”

When Yang Qingshan heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Nine ships are nine, how long can it be built?" ”

This kid, it looks like he's in a hurry, not bad, not bad, he earned nearly three thousand taels at one time, and after a few waves of such business, Lao Tzu made a lot of money, Lin Changshui said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, young man, have courage, don't worry, as long as the business is done, 20,000 taels of silver will be earned back in one or two trips." As for this ship, it just so happens that there are not many ships built during this time, and we will be able to deliver it in two months, what do you think? ”

Two months seems like a long time.

Yang Qingshan couldn't help but ask: "My lord, can you help, hurry up and make it, I heard that the vendors in Dongying and Nanyang are so anxious at this time that they don't have to worry about sales at all, and they will make an extra day of money by delivering goods one day earlier." ”

This kid is really greedy!

When Lin Changshui heard this, his eyes rolled, and then he smiled and nodded: "Well, the way is clear, not bad, young man, the old man is optimistic about you." In this way, I will let the people below work overtime for you to work, and strive for a month to get you out, but this shipbuilding needs money, and you can't start work without money, when can you send the silver, the faster the silver comes, the faster the ship will be built, you know? “

When Yang Qingshan heard this, he was stunned and said: "The silver is good to say, the villain has already brought it, my lord, or I will call someone to send it over now, as soon as this contract is signed, I will pay the silver, what do you think?" ”

All right!

Lin Changshui couldn't wait to say: "No problem, no problem, I'll prepare a contract for you, you can quickly ask someone to send the silver over." ”

When Yang Qingshan heard this, he hurriedly thanked him, then turned around and hurriedly ran out.

After a while, he ran back again, and at this time, Lin Changshui had almost prepared the contract, the two discussed for a while, signed the contract, and the official outside came to report that someone drove two carriages to the door of the lifting division, saying that they were here to deliver silver.

When Lin Changshui heard this, he immediately stood up, and while asking the official to lead the carriage into the courtyard, he took Yang Qingshan and Yang Laoba out.

When he went outside, he saw that the carriages had come in, but they were not flatbed carriages, but carriages with carriages.

This kind of carriage doesn't seem to pull silver, right?

Lin Changshui couldn't help but look at Yang Qingshan suspiciously.

Yang Qingshan was unhurried to the carriage lane: "Come down." ”

Get down?

Will this money still run down on its own?

Of course, the silver could not run down by himself, and it was a man who got out of the carriage, four men in brocade uniforms!

As soon as the four brocade guards jumped out of the car, they immediately surrounded Lin Changshui, and tied a knot with three strokes and two strokes.

Lin Changshui couldn't help but be surprised: "The surname is Yang, what do you mean?" ”

"Yang Qingshan" heard this, and said with a smile: "The official's surname is Yang, his name is Cong, and his words are clear, what do you mean by this official?" ”

Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang!
