When the Dutch arrived, Chang'an Town ushered in another good news, which was sent back by the Hong Kong Overseas Consulate, according to Zhou Yang, the Hong Kong Overseas Consulate already owned 16 sea ships, and they could be shipped directly to Chang'an Town.

The origin of the sixteen sea ships was also explained in the telegram, that is, it came from the dispute between Yan Jianye and Yan Zheng, and finally Zheng Zhilong beat Yan Jianye with overwhelming strength, and blocked his business in Japan, and also made it clear that his ship was not allowed to go to sea, and as long as he saw it, it would be sunk.

The Zheng family's words are not a joke, the overlord of the East China Sea definitely has this strength, not to mention that Zheng Zhibao has been staring at it in the open sea, Yan Jianye's ship can not only run to the South Seas, but it is impossible to go north or sail to Japan.

In this case, his ship is equivalent to a pile of wood, and no one dares to buy it if he wants to sell it, the Zheng family let out the words, he is not allowed to do business with Yan Jianye, who would dare to offend easily.

Thanks to such a notice issued by the Zheng family, otherwise these ships would not have been given to Hong Kong's overseas consulates.

As for how to get these ships from Yan Jianye, not many people in the local area care, Yan Jianye is not a good person in the first place, this guy's blatant opposition to the Australians has begun to spread throughout the public, so naturally he has no good impression of him.

Now things seem to be a bit reversed, Zhou Yang said that these boats were basically donated by Yan Jianye, and in order to reunite with Australia, these boats were specially given to Hong Kong overseas consulates for use.

To be precise, this guy should be afraid of being assassinated, although Zheng Zhilong did not say that he wanted to kill this guy on the surface, but he would not necessarily let this guy go behind his back, and it was very likely that he would send someone to Macau to carry out the assassination operation.

Giving the boat to an Australian in Hong Kong would not only give him asylum, but also give him a good reputation, which is why he decided.

This guy is currently employed by the Hong Kong Overseas Consular Government, and all assets have been 70% owned by the Australian government, becoming a major shareholder, which is in the hands of the Hong Kong Overseas Consular Government.

At present, there are different opinions on the planning and use of these 16 ships, mainly from three parties, one is from the Hong Kong overseas consular government, they feel that six should be left for the development of local shipping, and the remaining seven should be sailed back to China for renovation.

However, this proposal was vetoed, and the reasons for the veto were very strong: Hong Kong's overseas territory relied on the Portuguese and Spaniards for most of its shipping, and did not need so many ships for shipping, and should all be returned to China and handed over to shipyards for renovation, and efforts were made to develop shipping from Chang'an Town to Batavia.

Because most of the local materials came from these regions, the import of materials from the Ming Dynasty was quite low, except for tea and porcelain and silk.

As soon as this opposition plan was proposed, it must have been opposed by the local government of Hong Kong's overseas territories, don't think about it, they made the most right contribution in this matter, and now tell them that they can't get a little benefit, which makes anyone who listens to it will not do it, not to mention that it is Zhou Yang who is sitting there, and Zhou Yang's backstage is Xu Renguo, and it is not so simple to take food from him.

In the local area, Zhou Yang also has an ally, that is, Wu Zhengdao, Wu Zhengdao's influence in the local area is very high, not comparable to ordinary people, so it may be a little difficult to pass this opposition plan.

In order to obtain ships as soon as possible, the navy also came forward this time to request that eight ships must be given for the development of the navy.

Eight ships, which is equivalent to occupying half of the ships, plus the six ships proposed by Zhou Yang, that is, only two ships in the end are managed and allocated by the central government of the Executive Committee, which makes some other groups very dissatisfied.

It's true that your navy needs to develop, but you can't take so much, it's said that the ships assembled in the shipyard are basically 1,000-ton steamships of the navy, and at this time, don't you just give five as a transition.

Well, Wang Tiehammer also has a reason, it is indeed a transition, three of the eight ships are stationed in the mainland, two of which are used as spare ships and supply ships, and the other three are sent to Hong Kong to be stationed overseas to prevent Zheng Zhilong and the Spaniards from rashly attacking Hong Kong.

This reason is very good, and the distribution is reasonable, but is it necessary at this time, it's a bit of a waste.

As long as the military makes a request, in most cases, it will be compressed, and if you say that the army will be expanded to two companies, he will give you one and a half at most, and if you say that you will build three ships, at most two, this has become a common practice.

Wang Tiezhui is a former member of the committee, and he knows that even if the members of the executive committee have no opinions, the leaders of the following groups will have great opinions, and to a certain extent, the executive committee will fully listen to the opinions of the following groups.

So he issued a request for eight ships, just waiting for a bargain, if you don't open a little higher, maybe the other party will lower it for you.

It is undeniable that the navy needs ships, and now the combat effectiveness of the entire Australian sea is almost zero, and there is no ship that can go to sea to fight, so his request was agreed, after all, Xu Renguo was born in the military, and he had a good relationship with Wang Tiehammer, and finally agreed to allocate five ships to the naval command.

Since the navy has five ships, the question of how to distribute the rest needs to be carefully discussed, and the most important of these is how many ships should be allocated to Hong Kong's overseas territory.

Xu Renguo is also a supporter of Zhou Yang, and it is impossible for him to see that Zhou Yang has put in no reward for his efforts.

After the proposal of Wu Zhengdao and others, considering the actual needs of Hong Kong's overseas consulates, four ships were allocated to the overseas consular government, and all the rest were held in China.

The Executive Committee also had a discussion on how to use these ships back to China, and the Ministry of Trade will obtain five ships for trade and transportation, and the rest of the ships will be auctioned, and private individuals can participate in the auction.

After all, the development of non-governmental trade and transportation industry is also supported by the Executive Committee, and if the government does not give some benefits to private capital at all, I am afraid that it will be questioned, and people will say that the policy is just an ornament and useless.

Although it was only the news of the auction of the two transport ships, it still made some people's eyes light up and saw a good opportunity that should not be missed, and if they seized this opportunity, then they could become the first batch of people to become rich, so this is good news for many people.
