Chapter 277: Why is it called the Island Master?

Captain Bowie, of course, was proud of the Great Song's ship. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, neither Japan nor the Ryukyu Kingdom could build a sea ship that could cross the sea to the Great Song Dynasty, and their merchants could only go to the Great Song Dynasty to buy ships.

The Great Song Dynasty government once set up shipyards on Fujian Road and Guangdong Road, which were abolished when Song Xiaozong arrived.

The government-built shipbuilding industry here is underdeveloped, but the private shipbuilding industry is growing in the fertile soil of thriving domestic and foreign trade, and its roots are deep and leafy.

The Great Song Dynasty government did not produce ships, and did not engage in overseas trade.

Because the government-run handicraft industry in the Song Dynasty was non-liberal capitalism, the identity of its craftsmen was more complicated.

Among them were the most lowly prisoners, who were the most humble, and who were served hard by day and by night, and had no expiration date.

There were also some box troops, when recruiting soldiers, there were craftsmen experimenting, changing to tattoo craftsmen, they had to pierce their hands and faces, that is, tattoo words on their faces or hands, and at the same time implement military establishments and live in barracks.

In addition, there are craftsmen who are recruited by the people in turn. Craftsmen of all kinds have no freedom at all, and if they are tired of labor, they will flee and must be hunted down and punished.

In principle, the government implements "harmony" and pays wages to craftsmen who are recruited from the private sector.

If you don't want to work in the government, you can sometimes pay "money to buy wages" to redeem it.

Money, food, and clothing were also distributed to the soldiers and the craftsmen who recruited them according to the provisions of the conscription system, but this was obviously too far from Zhang Guoan's treatment, because although these people were engaged in wage labor, it was compulsory.

Slaves can't build pyramids...... Although the prevalence of "and hire" craftsmen was a historic advance compared to forced unpaid labor.

They could have been a little nicer to the artisans than the later Tatar bandit groups, but this kind of forced wage labor was not what the craftsmen wanted, let alone reduce wages. Torture and even torture and murder of craftsmen are endless, and the rebellion of craftsmen is endless.

On top of that, the quality of the ships they process is still far inferior to that of the private shipbuilding industry.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty government simply canceled the government-run shipyards on the two roads and took the initiative to give up the market...... This makes private and private enterprises usher in opportunities for development.

This time and space Fujian road-style sea ship already has its own characteristics.

It has a small head and a V-shaped culet. It is easy to break the waves.

The body is flat, wide, tall, and has a deep draft, and it is still stable when hit by lateral winds, and at the same time, it has a sturdy structure and a sealed compartment in the hull for enhanced security. The bottom plate and side plate are made of double or triple plate structure respectively, and the ship has multiple sails. Easy to use multi-faceted wind.

There are small boats on large ships, which can save lives and rescue in case of emergency. Each boat has two anchors, large and small, and there is also equipment to measure the depth of the sea during the boat.

In short, these are ideal for ocean voyages.

Therefore, Japanese and Goryeo and Ryukyu maritime merchants like to buy sea ships on the Fujian Road...... And compared with their own construction, the quality is better, the price is lower, and the cost performance is very good.

The Great Song government did not play monopoly in this industry. On the contrary, they also let the private industry operate independently, and they have succeeded in evoking the climax of the development of the shipbuilding industry!

This has suppressed the market for building seagoing ships in neighboring countries to a state of near zero. At most, it can be a ship repair yard, so that the shipbuilding technology of the surrounding countries has always been developed at a low level.

Zhang Guoan is well aware of a well-known case between public and private management in the Great Song Dynasty.

During the reign of Song Renzong, six factories including Kaifeng merchants Du Sheng and Li Qing contracted the alum refining industry in Jinzhou, purchased raw alum from the government-run mines in Jinzhou, transported it to Bianliang, Jingshi, and fried mature alum for sale. Business is booming.

Seeing that the business of frying cooked alum was very profitable, the Hedong Road Transit Division set up a government-run alum refining factory in Jinju to compete with private entrepreneurs for the market.

Although the official involvement has led to a backlog of alum goods in six alum refining factories such as Du Sheng. It is not possible to sell, but private entrepreneurs are undoubtedly more familiar with the market, and in a few years, they have almost crushed the government-run alum refining business.

From the first year of Qingli to the third year, the tax payments of Du Sheng and other six households were 110,000, 140,000, and 150,000 respectively; The annual income of Jinju's government-run alum refining service is only 57,000, 42,000, and 47,000.

Later, in order to save the loss-making Jinju government-run alum refining business, the local government of the Great Song Dynasty decided to take back the contracting rights of the six private alum refining factories and take the fried alum pot and woks into the family affairs.

Du Sheng, Li Qing and other six households were dissatisfied and jointly sued the Hedong Road Transfer Division, demanding that the Hedong Road Transfer Division stop the infringement.

At that time, Ouyang Xiu was ordered to investigate this dispute, believing that the Hedong Road Transit Division had breached the contract first, and also said that the official had sold it by refining alum, seeing a small profit for a while, which would make it difficult to do it for a long time.

Therefore, he opposed the collection of the alum smelting factory into the official camp, and suggested that the official strike sell the alum by frying it, and only order Du Sheng and the other six households to still manage the annual contract amount, and the six households continued to contract the alum industry in Jinju.

The Great Song Dynasty government had such and such shortcomings, but with these two things, the owner of Zhang Guoan had absolutely no idea of replacing them, and even his friends did not think about it...... Because the Great Song government is at least composed of some people who know such common sense issues as right and wrong!

Therefore, the Badaohe shipyard built by Zhang Guoan is much worse than the private shipyard on the other side of the strait in terms of scale, and Zhang Guoan is only to build his own warship, or it is an experimental warship.

For example, the so-called Anjiang-class and large gate ships are all such products.

However, this is the case, the Badaohe Shipyard also looks far more high-end and atmospheric than the surrounding countries, otherwise, Captain Bowie would not be so proud.

The crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom is going to take two Yasu-class warships, Yasu-Jiang No. 3 and No. 4, to go to Shanbei Island to quell the Japanese bandits, and the members of the Liuqiu Guards laugh when they think about it, it will be a battle to protect potatoes and sweet potatoes.

However, Huang Zu, the captain of the team this time, was very serious, because Zhang Daoist had some explanations for him.

At the beginning, Captain Huang Zu changed the name of Zhang Guoan's bow to the island owner, which was quite funny, which was quite like the king of the mountain.

However, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said seriously: "This deserted overseas abandoned land was developed by me and a few maritime merchants with manpower, so I am the owner of the island, which is not funny at all......

Captain Huang Zu was still happy, and said: "Zhang Chuanshou, you may not know that as long as it is a terra nullius land in the Great Song Dynasty, you can open up the wasteland at will, and you don't pay any taxes and goods in the first year, and you will pay ...... in the second year."

Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said: "So, will the Great Song Dynasty government issue me a land deed?" ”

"If you don't register and then issue a title deed, how will your taxes be collected?"

Zhang Guoan, the island owner, blurted out and asked, "How many years of property rights?!" ”

“…… Unheard of ......"

Can it be like this, he looked it up in the database, and sure enough...... However, does he need Da Song to admit himself?

No, you don't!

Before Captain Huang Zu left, Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, specially talked to him, and the central meaning was three...... Playing the military prestige of the Ryukyu Guard, the relationship with the Ryukyu Kingdom is better!

The island of Ruqiu and the Ryukyu Kingdom are on an equal footing...... Captain Huang Zu tasted it for a long time, and felt that Zhang Guoan's island master was hinting at something, which made his heart feel very heavy.

In fact, it is a better choice to defect to the Great Song Dynasty...... However, it seems impossible for Zhang Guoan to be the owner of the island. (To be continued.) )
