Chapter 290: Seafood Canning Factory

Although Jia Yi is the lord of the Tang Dynasty, he is also an authentic businessman, as long as it is a profitable business, he will be involved, but after all, his manpower is insufficient, if he leaves some people to deal with business every time he arrives, it is estimated that he will not go to Lingnan, and there are not a few people left under him, or leave a person in charge, and the rest will directly choose the local head snake or rich businessmen to cooperate, It's the most suitable.

Xie Shan didn't understand why Jia Yi's expression changed so dramatically before and after for the first time, and he didn't react for a while, standing in place, looking at Jia Yi and blinking his eyes for a long time, with Jia Yi's cough, this can be regarded as coming back to his senses, although he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jia Yi's gourd, he still had a shy smile and agreed to Jia Yi's request.

Soon, Jia Yi and his entourage sat with Xie Shan in a private room in a restaurant in Songjiang County, don't look at this Songjiang County is Xie Shan's base camp, but the smile on his face at this moment is more and more respectful, the reason, naturally Jia Yi found a seal from his body, so he let the county order of Songjiang County bow to the end, and called "Sir." ”

"Being able to sit down with the lord to discuss business matters, it is a blessing for Xie Mou's three lives, he has offended a lot before, and I hope that the lord will not blame him, this glass of wine will be regarded as me to make amends to you." Xie Shan picked up the things on the table in front of him, drank them all, and waited for Jia Yi's orders.

"Brother Xie, in business, I'll say anything straight." Jia smiled and said to Xie Shan: "If this seafood flows into the inland, it will inevitably cause a big tide, and I am bound to win the sea. ”

Jia Yi's words directly made the expression on Xie Shan's face freeze instantly, although the expression on his face froze, but the roar in his heart never stopped: "Your uncle, didn't you say that you would do business together, what do you mean by this?" ”

Without Xie Shan asking, Jia Yi said his thoughts leisurely, there are more than a dozen fishing villages around Songjiang County, and each fishing village will not produce too much seafood every year, but it is definitely a large amount, if all of them are made into canned food and sent inland, it will inevitably earn a lot of profits, but Jia Yi will not stay here for too long, and then Jia Yi will leave a person here to build a canning factory to solve the problem that seafood is difficult to preserve for a long time, and Xie Shan is responsible for collecting seafood and handing it over to the cannery. As for the distribution of profits, it will be divided into two percent to Xie Shan, but Jia Yi still has two requirements.

"First, you must not embezzle the hard-earned income of fishermen, and second, you must not covet canneries."

The fishermen work hard, if they are exploited by the land snake again, the already not so good life will become even more difficult, as for the cannery, it is Jia Yi's roots, he doesn't want anyone to get involved, especially people like Xie Shan.

Jia Yi's second request, Xie Shan agreed without any hesitation, because Jia Yi is the noble of the Tang Dynasty after all, and he didn't dare to fight against Xungui if he gave him eight guts, although this Xungui is not in the sphere of influence of this Songjiang County, but everyone knows that the nobles are in the same spirit, God knows if there are other nobles around here, if he covets the cannery, let Jia Yi know, maybe it is not clear how he will die by then.

However, the first thing made Xie Shan a little hesitant, knowing that most of his income was difficult for fishermen, so giving up this income really made him a little unwilling, but in the face of Jia Yi, he didn't dare not agree, and he hesitated a little for a while.

Jia Yi couldn't see Xie Shan's thoughts, and suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Xie, take a long-term view, you must know that if you are good to these fishermen, they will willingly sell all the harvest to you, and other fishermen who have rumors around you will also sell the seafood to you, although it seems that you have not taken advantage of them and reduced your income, but if there are more people who come to you to sell seafood, then your income will not be reduced in any way. There is also a good chance that there will be very huge growth. ”

When it comes to making money, the eight Xie Shan tied together are not Jia Yi's opponents, so although Jia Yi explained things clearly, Xie Shan still pondered for a long time before he faintly figured out the joints here, although he still felt that this matter felt weird, but he also knew that Jia Yi categorically did not deceive him, and with a bright smile on his face, he agreed to Jia Yi's request.

After talking about business, the next thing is to talk about it, the seafood banquet in the county town made everyone's eyes light up, although Jia Yi's teppanyaki is definitely fragrant, but the banquet here is also unique, and everyone who likes to eat seafood suddenly feasted, as for Wang Yanping and Qin Huaiyu, they ran to the street with their skins covered, and it seemed that their meals today could only be solved on the road.

On the way back, Cheng Chumo was very incomprehensible about Jia Yi's move to find a bully to do business, so he opened his mouth and asked after he couldn't bear it.

"First of all, the bully has a certain status in this Songjiang County, and some people listen to what he says, regardless of whether it is due to his aftermath or for other reasons, he will get twice the result with half the effort when he does anything, and besides, I have just told him that he is not allowed to exploit the fishermen, this is a requirement and a warning, if I hear any rumors in the future, I will abolish it as soon as possible and find another partner, I think at that time we are already very familiar with Songjiang County, and we don't need his matchmaking."

After listening to Jia Yi's explanation, everyone knew what Jia Yi's real thoughts were, and for a while everyone gave Jia Yi a thumbs up, and Jia Yi just smiled at this, there was no bad guy in front of interests, only businessmen who wanted to collect profits, as long as they used it well, even a bully could become a prodigal son.

The matter of canned seafood was quickly carried out under Jia Yi's deliberate arrangement, because it was a good time to go to sea, a large number of fish and shrimp seafood goods continued to enter Songjiang County, and the name of the fish merchant Xie Shan was also slowly spread throughout the surrounding counties and villages at this time, Xie Shan, who was originally not very understanding of Jia Yi's explanation, after this period of operation, has completely understood the meaning of Jia Yi's words, and now he is no longer the bully that everyone is afraid of and hates. On the contrary, he has become a great good man who loves cars and cars, and his name is finally consistent, he has made money and fame, and for a while Xie Shan has become more and more concerned about this business, I believe that even if Jia Yi wants to put him out of the bureau now, he will cry and shout to let Jia Yi raise his noble hand.

The construction of the dock is still in progress, and another month has passed, the dock has finally been built, and the next step will be to start the construction of the first giant ship in Datang, because shipbuilding is a handicraft, so Jia began to look for shipbuilders all over the world, and gathered in the dock, put the ship model he made out of his own hands in front of everyone, and put the drawings drawn at the beginning in the hands of everyone, as for the construction of the giant ship, from now on it has nothing to do with Jia Yi, He just had to wait for the moment when the construction of the giant ship was completed.

It is indispensable to go to Lingnan is a giant ship, you must know that the south of Lingnan is surrounded by the sea, and many things that are very valuable after being pulled back to the inland are all produced in overseas islands, if there is no giant ship, it is not easy to subdue the islands of the South China Sea, and the mountain road alone can make Jia Yi climb to death.

Moreover, as the maritime transportation that can best reflect the value of transportation at this stage, if there is no giant ship to escort it, Jia Yi really does not dare to pull up a small sailing ship to and from the South China Sea and the Bohai Sea.

This time, Jia Yi asked to build a giant ship is not the largest one he imagined, but a 100-meter medium-sized warship, you must know that the largest sea warship in the Tang Dynasty is only 20 zhang, that is, 60 meters, this is still a high-level warship that will participate in the war after 30 years, and the warship used by the Datang Navy today is only thirty or forty meters, and it is already very good to be able to pull a hundred and ten people.

Jia Yi learned some key points about the construction of sea ships from the Japanese people, the most important point is that it must be low and wide, so as to withstand the strong winds and waves on the sea, and not be in danger of disintegration or capsizing, of course, the giant ships built by Jia Yi are not all learned from the Japanese people, the sea ships built when Zheng He went to the West in the Ming Dynasty have left a strong mark in history, because at that time, it was a miracle to be able to build a huge ship with a bearing capacity of more than 9,000 tons with wooden planks.

Jia Yi never thought that just a little bit of his knowledge of giant ships could build a giant ship that could sail on the sea without fear, so when building a giant ship, he hired a large number of craftsmen who built sea ships with high salaries.

In the case of complete materials and no shortage of manpower, the construction of the giant ship has soon been carried out in the dock, even if an unprecedented giant ship appears at sea, if there is only a single one, when encountering pirates or other countries' fleets, it is inevitable that there is a danger of being sunk or preempted, for the sake of insurance, Jia Yi also wanted to get some ready-made sea ships from Li Er's hands, but he hadn't said this to Li Er, but he ushered in another person.
