Recently, there have been a lot of expenses, and Zhang San has no effective account room around him, today launched this plan, after scattering a handful of silver, Zhang San finally felt a pain in his flesh, while he was fine, Zhang San wrote and drew on the paper, and calculated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

First the shipyard shipbuilding expenses, then the construction plan of the school, and now the sailor village is going to be built, such a money, Zhang San's silver in his hand finally reduced by 20,000 taels, Zhang San calculated that if there is no input, it is estimated that the money in his hand can only support half a year. After all, the construction of the next batch of ships is another big expense.

There are 1,000 people on Shark Island, more than 1,000 people in the sailors' school, and more than 1,000 people in the shipyard, even if these 3,000 people earn an average of three times a month, then the monthly cost of wages alone is 10,000 yuan. And there will be more people in the future.

Moreover, the timber, sail ropes, cables, and so on of shipyard shipbuilding are not conjured out of thin air, and Zhang San estimated that the cost of building a sea ship is about the same amount of money per stone.

Zhang San planned to build a double fleet of twelve 5,000-stone ships and twenty 2,000-stone ships, so that each team would need three 2,000-stone warships. The total tonnage of the two fleets reached almost 120,000 stones.

120,000 stone is 120,000 guan, so these ships alone cost nearly 50,000 taels of silver, a large ship of 5,000 stone needs 300 sailors and 200 guards, ten boats need 6,000 people, and 20 ships of 2,000 stone each need 160 to 180 people, so that it is more than 3,000 people.

Each of the six ships required 400 men and 2,000 men, so that the two fleets were fully equipped, and the number of men reached nearly 12,000 men. The average wage of 12,000 people is three times a month, so the salary for one month alone is 36,000 yuan, and a month is more than 10,000 taels of silver.

And Zhang San also plans to raise a huge team of pirates, which is even more of a bottomless pit. So after Zhang San finished calculating, he put down the pen and sighed that this money was really unspent, but he thought about it the other way. Zhang San couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

The Zhang family is definitely not as simple as it seems, as the leader of the maritime merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, the number of sea ships of the Zhang family has been maintained at more than 20, which is 10,000 people, plus the Zhang family's docks, warehouses, shops, farms, etc., the population directly serving the Zhang family is at least 20,000 people.

It is no wonder that the news brought back by Shi Qian said that the scale of Zhangjiazhuang is comparable to a small city, and the silver island on Taihu Lake is about two miles west of Zhangjiazhuang, and several small islands around the silver island are owned by the Zhangjia family. There are many boats patrolling each other.

Zhang San calculated that even if each of these people only had three family members, the population indirectly controlled by the Zhang family would be nearly 100,000, and Zhang San originally thought that these Jiangnan officials were afraid of the background of the Beijing officials in the Zhang family's capital, so they turned a blind eye to the Zhang family's blatant robbery.

After Zhang San's calculations, I realized that Zhang San was more entrenched than he imagined, I am afraid that Jiangnan officialdom is full of the shadow of the Zhang family, and Zhang Bancheng in Suzhou really deserves his reputation!

After this calculation, Zhang San immediately asked Shi Qian to increase the investigation of the Zhang family, and Zhang San's plan also had to make appropriate adjustments, originally with the scale of the current shipyard to build the fleet that Zhang San wanted, I am afraid that it will only take one year, but Zhang San may not be able to complete all the crew in one year.

Even if it's barely enough, I'm afraid it's a group of rabble, not to mention fighting pirates, even an ordinary storm may not be able to survive safely, there is a way that it is easy to pull eggs when you take too many steps, that's the truth.

The island sent news that the three docks had been completed, and after Lao Mo went to the island, he wrote a lot of tools and material requirements, and Uncle Hei had to take another boatload of materials to Sea Shark Island.

Zhang San decided to go back to the island with Lao Hei next time, Zhang San came back for almost 20 days, it is estimated that the chili peppers planted on the island should bear fruit, Zhang San hopes that when he returns to Tokyo, he can at least bring a batch of chili noodles back, not to mention how much it sells, at least let Yixing Hutchison add dozens of special snacks to stabilize the status of Yixing Hutchison snack industry.

Zhang San has been busy asking Wen Zhonglai to find someone to check the situation of the 300 people he recruited in the past few days, in order to prevent the existence of the Zhang family's undercover agent, Zhang San almost eliminated all those who were suspicious or his family was unwilling to come.

In the end, after brushing off more than a dozen people, Zhang San's sailors on the ship finally determined that these more than 200 people, plus the 100 people originally brought from Tokyo, would be the crew members on Zhang San's ship.

In this way, Zhang San was embarrassed to find that his ship was only equipped with a crew and not enough guards, of course Zhang San was not worried that his ship would be hijacked by pirates, but Zhang San couldn't always fight by himself, and if people didn't grab the ship, they would sink you directly, and no matter how good your martial arts were, you wouldn't be able to use it.

And this ship is said to be Zhang San's flagship, but in fact, it is just a disguise, the characters of this ship are just transporting materials to Sea Shark Island, so Zhang San will not stay on the ship at all.

So who will guarantee the safety of the ship when Zhang San is gone? As a last resort, Zhang San had no choice but to arrange Zhang Yuanba to transfer Wang Huan out to be responsible for the safety of the ship in the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, anyway, at this stage, Du Biao alone is enough to sit in the Dart Bureau, and Zhang Yuanba's pervert can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Wang Huan's wife is still seven or eight months away from giving birth anyway, Zhang San plans to let him work for two or three months first, and wait until he finds a suitable replacement to let him return to Beijing, if he hasn't been able to get Yang Tai over to replace him.

On the evening of the sixth day, Uncle Hei docked the ship at the dock again, and Zhang San began to arrange for these people to take over the new ship, and then familiarize themselves with the ship, and these days Zhang San began to purchase the materials urgently needed on the island.

Three days later, Zhang San loaded everything onto the ship and embarked on the journey to Sea Shark Island, everyone sailed according to the route guided by Uncle Hei for three days, and arrived at the Sea Shark Island pier smoothly on the third night, and the new boatman on the ship was ordered to stay in the cabin and not be allowed to come out.

After unloading the cargo, the sailors were locked up in the ship's hold for a day before they were allowed to set sail after dark, although these people were all people who had been investigated, but Zhang San only told these people in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, because he was afraid that they would leak Zhang San's trade routes.

These three lies can still be justified in this era, because Zhang San is not the first person to do this, and Zhang San was inspired by hearing people talk about this matter.

Of course, Zhang San would not stay on the ship honestly, and as soon as the ship came to a stop and the new sailors were locked in the cabin, Zhang San disembarked. Because of the arrival of the sea boat, the lights were lit on the dock, and a group of people came over with torches and began to cooperate with the people on board to unload the cargo on board.

Zhang San walked to the conference hall under the greeting of Gan Xingtai, Zhang San did not inform the island of the news that he was coming, so when Zhang San arrived, no one in the hall came to greet him, Zhang San thought that it was still the middle of the night, it was not good to call everyone up to discuss the matter, so he went to sleep under the service of a maid.
