"Hey, hey! This time, all the income of the four cities of Goguryeo will be realized! Feng Daiwen also saw that Ma Zhou deliberately said these data to see that he had a headache, otherwise with the strength of Liaoxi, he would have misappropriated it.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Ma Zhou smiled and continued: "The two largest coal and iron mines in the four counties are almost all for their own use, and the imperial court still has to be transferred, does the governor need to be subsidized by the imperial court?" ”

"The subsidy is not needed, the tax is deducted, and in the future, all will go according to the normal procedures, all through the Governor's Office, forming official exchanges, and it is not as casual as before, the Ministry of War needs weapons, the Ministry of Industry needs materials, and the Metropolitan Security procedures come, not arbitrarily transferred." Feng Daiwen ordered.

Ma Zhou just wants to listen to this sentence, he used to be too casual, he gave as much as he wanted, he wanted it at any time, he gave it at any time.

"The soldiers and horses of Liaoxi are also focused on Yingzhou and Danzhou, and now they have to add Xincheng, Laiheng, and Laiji to continue to defend the two cities, and replenish the fanatic army as soon as possible.

The defense of the mine was mainly by Xue Yan, and Zheng Yong was the deputy, and the construction of the road was supervised by the clansmen led by General Zhi Sili, and he could support the new city at any time, and the government affairs were also based on Pingzhou, and the scale was expanded as much as possible. Feng Daiwen arranged.

"Xia Guan understands!"

"The last general obeys!"

The person who was arranged hurriedly got up to receive the order.

"Everyone's credit, this time this official returned to Chang'an to report to the Ministry of Officials, and you have worked hard in the past few years.

Of course, the reward of the imperial court is the imperial court, and the official has also prepared a gift for everyone. Feng Daiwen arched his hand and said with a smile.

Then he pointed to the door and continued: "The gift is at the door, one person and one box, bring it when you leave, inside are Nanyang spices, Lingnan pearls, Chang'an perfume, and Biguo jade, which is not very precious, but just a heart of the official."

In addition, the first large steamship has been trialed, if nothing else, it will start sailing after the year, and you can come to Liaoning West to invest if you are interested. ”

"Thank you, Governor!" There are gifts, of course, they are all happy, although Feng Daiwen said that it is not too precious, but just by hearing it, he knows that it is still worth a lot. Of course, I have to say thank you quickly.

"What does the governor mean by investment?" Liu Hongji asked with interest, you must know that Feng Daiwen has always liked to pull the people around him to make a fortune, he was unfamiliar with it in the past, so he could only follow the public and drink some leftover soup.

Listening to Liu Hongji's question, many people listened attentively, especially the wealthy people in their families.

"Although the steamship is huge, it needs to be made of steel and aluminum alloy, and it also needs to use a large steam engine, and it is even more necessary to establish a supply base in the Nanyang generation, which costs a lot of money, and the sailors need to be recruited and trained, which is a private act.

As for the investment, it is to give money, and as for the harvest, you should know that a piece of silk in the Western Regions is ten times the price of the Central Plains, and all of it can be exchanged for the same weight or a lot of gold overseas.

A fine porcelain is also worth a lot of money, the most expensive is glass, this thing is completely believed that everyone has it at home, but overseas, it is a rare thing, a glass mirror, it is no problem to exchange it for a box of gems. Feng Daiwen said with a smile on his face.

Although these people in the hall are considered rich, they are still quite surprised by what Feng Daiwen said, thinking that a mirror can be exchanged for a box of gems, many people can't help but breathe in their nostrils, and their throats keep swallowing saliva, so as to hide themselves, so as not to lose their temper.

"What the governor said, we naturally believe that back then, when this glass mirror first appeared, everyone was not shocked, in front of rare treasures.

But how does this investment count? Whether it is to buy a ship or what, please ask the governor to say a specific charter. Liu Hongji asked with a red face, as soon as he heard Feng Daiwen say, he sensitively thought that this was definitely a big business, just thinking about expanding the current ships and making them of alloys, he could think that it would definitely cost a lot of money.

And doing business with Feng Daiwen, no one has ever lost, this time he must seize the opportunity and make a lot of money.

"This investment, based on the price of the ship and the operating costs, can be co-subscribed to one, can be a single one, but only has the right to dividends.

Of course, going to sea is not more important than other things that require joint efforts, and all ships will be counted together, so even if there is an accident, as long as one of them comes back safely, it will make everyone a lot of money. Feng Daiwen had even more smiles in his eyes and explained carefully for him.

"Haha, since that's the case, the old man will subscribe for one." Liu Hongji laughed with satisfaction and patted the armrest of the chair.

"The old man made do with the excitement and also subscribed for one." An Xinggui also touched his beard on the side and answered.

"Of course there is no problem, the two fathers worked hard to come to Liaoxi to help, naturally they have to give priority, the first time they go to sea, the plan is five big ships, one for the imperial court, one for Liaoxi, and now there is one left, so let's sit down."

Other investors will have to wait for the second batch of ships, but the first time they need to be well prepared, and they will not be able to depart until at least September next year. Feng Daiwen is also very satisfied, this shipbuilding can make a lot of money again, although the steel of the ship is dug out and refined by Liaoxi itself, but after all, it still needs wages.

It's just that he still underestimated Liu Hongji and An Xinggui, originally thought that they would have half a ship for one person at most, hoping that they wouldn't hurt when they collected the money, it seemed that it couldn't be too dark, so it would be better to triple it, anyway, the wages and materials needed were all up to themselves, so it was possible that they still had the ability to weigh the ship.

didn't care about the annoyed looks of Wang Yan and the others, and after the arrangements were made, he rushed to Pingzhou Wharf with the people who wanted to return to Chang'an the next day.

Zhang Liang and others have also returned, and after a group of people converged, they loaded the goods and set off for Chang'an.

Bohai Bay is mild all year round, and it looks beautiful in contrast to the white mountains in the distance.

"Governor! This ship is too fast! Haven't hung sails yet. Zhang Liang yelled at Feng Daiwen loudly, and the cold wind in front of him couldn't stop his love for this ship.

I saw a big ship emitting black smoke on the sea, riding the wind and waves, leaving the ships behind him that were smooth sailing.

"Governor, give me one too, just one." Following Feng Daiwen into the cabin, Liu Renliang approached and said.

If Zhang Liang just likes it, then Liu Renliang loves it, and the all-steel aluminum alloy boat has been touched by him for a long time.

"Regular! Now there is no rival in the coastal waters of Datang, these ships are used for ocean voyages, and it is not easy to make, and I am afraid that it will take a few years for the sailors to be equipped. Feng Daiwen said deliberately embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's okay, if you don't transfer me to the ocean-going fleet, the sailor will be handed over to Liu Renyuan, and he will also take the sailor." Liu Renliang hurriedly waved his hand and continued.
