Chapter 410: Let's Go to the Sea
In this environment, as long as they work hard, they will be rewarded, and they will be motivated. Now this academy only enrolls 200 people, and when these 200 people graduate, they will be the next batch of teachers, and when the time comes, they will be able to teach, and there will be no need for Li Hang to encourage them or anything. Even if they can't learn Confucianism, they can learn to read and write, learn mathematics and read drawings, and have a three-dimensional conceptual idea, they can enter the front line.
The talent pool envisioned by Li Hang can be completed. The addition of such people to the school can greatly expand the workshop staff.
Within three years, the workshop could be expanded tenfold.
Today, the entire workshop covers an area of more than three hectares. And that's just the workshop and dormitory area.
What these people didn't expect was that there was hot water in it. Plus the cafeteria or something. Basically, the food is better than the outside, and having meat at once is just the beginning.
Money, luxuries. You can even improve your centimeter level as long as you work hard. The more you do in the future, the more work you get. You can change more things, even an independent house, instead of the current tin house, and even try to change a concubine and find a child bride for your son.
Li Hang had no idea of changing all this. But as long as they are in the workshop, both men and women can work. Maybe the woman just goes to see the meter, maybe it's the laundry and cooking. But there will never be a situation where she has nothing to do at home, unless you are a man who really works hard enough to become a designer and has enough work to support people. Otherwise, everything can be arbitrary, because this kind of designer has a lot of work. And just after this side was done, the printing workshops over there had already started their work.
Printing the running group game made by Zhou Yurong. And this time it was 2,000 copies. Almost all of them were sent to Jinling City. At this point, the rebellion in Jinling City has been completely resolved, and now is the most stable time, and this is the right time to add a drama to the casino, and to add some fun to those female dependents. This running group game can be thrown over and consigned. On the one hand, it can be used as a place for adults to gamble and spend time with their families and children. If you really have an idea, it may not be impossible for the whole family to go together. This thing that Li Hang is doing here is enough to make up for their spiritual needs. And the canned food sent here is a bit exaggerated. Canned seafood, canned beef, canned lamb with sweaters made of wool and coats of sorts. This made few people look sideways.
This is the most important thing in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Only when these are satisfied will there be a higher pursuit. They will have more vigorous consumer demand. This is so that they can buy, buy, buy, or they will not be able to eat, and they will freeze to death at any time in winter, and a few people will have a consumption concept. What's more, they still have so many families.
However, after the news came, this Jinling City was a little confused. Because Li Hang's side is almost a maritime link, and in this link they still use the maritime merchant ships they produce, and the small boats exchanged in the harbor near Yangzhou City are transported to Jinling City, and there are still bow and tail guns on this ship. It's a merchant ship, but no one dares to think of it as a real merchant ship. If only it really did work. That's a weapon with a lot of firepower. But what they don't know is that real firepower weapons are still being built. Sixty-four guns can be installed on the left and right of a large ship, what is the concept of this, thirty-two guns on one side. If this really encounters the fleet, it will be taken away directly by one round if the number is less than ten. In particular, there is a conical artillery gun on top. It can be said that this kind of artillery is not a one-shot belief, it is a direct hit of a cannon, as long as the calibration error is a matter of eight or nine.
As for whether those sailing ships can resist it, that's not something they need to think about.
After the first sea ship was transporting things to that side. He returned home and began his first sea transport. The place of trade is also clear. Those on the Korean Peninsula. Although there is no sovereign state or stable government at this time, as long as there are people at this time, the transaction can be completed as long as there are people.
Picked their pier. What these people traded for some glass was simply touching.
Kelp is close to more than a ton. Ginseng and various mountain goods are close to three tons.
And all it takes is a pure transparent glass. This kind of glass should be used by royals in Li Hang's house, and the others are basically auctioned off. The price of a set is very exaggerated, basically calculated according to 100,000.
The results of this round of going to sea are obvious, and they return with a full load.
Not to mention how much value ginseng and various mountain goods can have. That's all there is to it. The most important thing they verified was that they found that Li Hang's nautical charts were genuine.
In the second round, they went straight to the coal mine.
Not to mention the fact that he directly brought people over there to establish a village to mine coal mines, even the people who passed here began to wait for the construction of my port there.
The second maritime merchant ship went to Southeast Asia. It was the territory of Win Qi that was supplied. If going to the Korean Peninsula is ten times the profit, then going to Southeast Asia is more than a hundred times the profit. Pepper, cinnamon, and other spices were shipped back almost by boat. This ship is not a cargo in the eyes of others. And it's all gold.
Slowly, a word spread.
Southeast Asia and far-flung places have cities full of gold. Historically known as the Golden Seven Kingdoms.
If you can find these cities, it is simply an endless place to enjoy the glory and wealth.
This rumor has a lot of implications. Because almost all of the current shipbuilding is in the hands of Li Hang and the imperial court. The Su family, who was originally only in charge of Caoyun, also mastered a part. But they really don't know how to make a big ship to go outside.
And the two boats of spices that are being pushed out now are known to everyone.
This next stone stirred up a thousand waves.
Is it so profitable to go to sea?
All of a sudden, they're going to go crazy. How to go to sea and how to make money suddenly became the most concerned thing for the upper echelons of the Daying Dynasty.
If you want to ship by sea, you have to have a ship. This is the most basic.
All the ships that can sail are in Li Hang's hands. Now everyone has to go to him. And now the emperor has also spoken. If you want a ship, you have to exchange it for land. This discouraged many families. Those old families have a lot of land. They are really worried about this land issue, and in their eyes the land is the root.
And now the policy of the imperial court is that you can exchange as much land as you want for the permission to go to sea for as many ships. In other words, the imperial court is going to collect the land. In addition, we will crack down on land sales. This time, even those old families reacted. Here's the set.
But there is no shortage of adventurous people in this world. Desperate families sell their land and property. Then I bought a boat and a license, followed Li Hang on a trip, and when I came back with a full load of spices, it turned around almost instantly. suddenly went from being forced to be cornered, and suddenly became a celebrity in front of the emperor's grandson. Without him, they took the initiative to settle down in Beiping City, and then opened up a village overseas. And there was also a private school. Educate the uncivilized savages.
At this time, everyone tasted a little. This is a new opportunity! A single ship can bring back goods worth 100,000 taels or even hundreds of thousands of taels, but what about exports? Silk, porcelain, glass. The total value is only a few thousand taels!
