Shen Yue stretched out two fingers, "Two plans, first, based on the current land price, 1,900 acres of land will repay the principal and interest of my father's loan to your mansion." ”

The Zhang family wants not only the 1,900 acres of land, but also the Shen family will not settle with 20 taels of silver per acre. The Shen family was defeated, and they stepped on it, so that they would never be able to turn over, and they would not have a chance to retaliate, this is the king's way.

Carefully planned, and several families have been planning together with the county government for a long time, and they gave up just by relying on a few words from this kid? If the Zhang family can agree, will the other families agree?

Zhang Shanlu shook his head and waited directly for Shen Yue to say the second plan.

"It's no problem to give you all the land, but it still has to be calculated according to the market price!" Shen Yue looked at the change in Zhang Shanlu's face, said slowly, and continued before the other party could speak, "No matter if you use the price of twenty taels or twenty-five taels, the excess part will be compensated by the Zhang family's sea boat." Shen Yue finished talking about the second plan.

Zhang Shanlu looked at the kid in front of him with some surprise.

Shen Yue's face was calm, "If Second Master Zhang doesn't agree, I'd rather let my mother suffer for a few days in the county jail, suffer a few days of sin, and go to other counties to find buyers, I think, the price of eighteen taels, other counties and even Hangzhou Mansion in Nanzhili, there are many people in Yingtianfu who are willing to buy!" ”

"Anyway, the reputation of not respecting the teacher has spread, and I don't care about one more unfilial piety, not to mention, I am working hard to raise money, and it is not unfilial."

Shen Yue completely tore his face.

Either according to Shen Yue's requirements, the two parties will take what they need, or they will be shot and scattered.

Not to mention the other surrounding mansions, even if it is Ningbo Mansion, it is not that the Zhang family can cover the sky with one hand, the Zhang family is just an upstart, and many other wealthy families around it are not something that the Zhang family can afford.

"What do you want a sea ship for?" Zhang Shanlu's eyes flickered, and he was a little unsure of what this kid wanted to do.

Could it be that the Zhang family was cheated by sea boats?

The Ming Dynasty forbids the sea, and the major wealthy families go to sea, which is unseemly.

"What else can a sea ship do but go to sea?" Shen Yue said indifferently, "My Shen family ancestor has a hundred years of foundation, my father mortgaged the land to your mansion, and I owe two thousand gold and ten thousand taels of silver in Chunfeng Building, so I can only use the house to pay off the debt." ”

"The Zhang family doesn't have a sea boat...... Zhang Shanlu kept guessing in his heart what this kid wanted the sea boat to do, and his mouth was denying that the Zhang family had a sea boat.

It is an open secret that seafarers build seagoing ships privately.

The Jingjiang and Weihe two lifting divisions of the imperial court are responsible for supervising the construction of transport ships, but all of them are used for cao transportation, and the ships of the Daming Navy Division are also produced by the two lifting divisions.

But it's all a small boat with hundreds of ingredients.

The largest warship of the naval division is only 400 materials, about 27.8 meters long and 5.1 meters wide, which can only be used for inland rivers and is not suitable for sea navigation.

From the Jiajing Dynasty onwards, the threat of nomads in the north increased, while the coastal areas were rampant with pirates, the Ming Dynasty's treasury was empty, and the threat from the north was greater, and the strategic center of gravity shifted to the north.

The government was short of money, and the coastal bureaucrats proposed a ban on the sea for the interests of their families, and the people moved inward, so that the Japanese invaders went to land to fight with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming coastal defense line retreated from the sea to the land, so the sailors did not need big ships, and the boats on the canal were too large and easy to be congested.

When going to sea, a ship with hundreds of materials cannot withstand the wind and waves at sea, and the carrying capacity is too small.

Therefore, all the major maritime merchants built large ships privately. The maritime merchants colluded with the coastal tyrants, who relied on the protection of the Donglin Party to form a huge interest group......

Going to sea violates the imperial court system and privately builds a big ship, which is a felony of stealing one's home and killing one's head.

The maritime merchants all have supporters, and naturally have their own shipyards, although they cannot build thousands of giant fortune ships when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, the treasure ships of 2,000 materials are no problem, which is the main model of the maritime merchants.

Last night, when he never knew that he couldn't go back, the Shen family was burdened with huge debts, and he was about to die out, Shen Yue was thinking about what he should do to get through the crisis, let the Shen family rise, and be a fool waiting for death.

Three thousand acres of heirloom fertile land, no family can give up, but for Shen Yue, there is nothing that cannot be given up.

Land is something that binds peasants and landlords.

The Tartars are about to enter the customs, whether it is the three massacres in Jiading or the ten days in Yangzhou, which proves the bloody massacre of the Tartars in the south of the Yangtze River. Shen Yue didn't want to let the Tartars be slaughtered without enjoying the rotten life of the feudal landlords, or live under the crotch of the Tartars.

The income of the imperial court is insufficient, the thieves from all walks of life in the north are becoming more and more intense, and a large number of people are leaving the land, the north is full of wasteland, and the military salaries, grain and grass in the important towns on the nine sides need the support of the south, and the Shen family, who has no one to take care of in the court, will be more and more onerous in taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the 3,000 acres of fertile land of the Shen family, who have no fame, will bear more harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes......

Selling land and buying a ship to go to sea can not only seek wealth and wealth, but also avoid the butcher's knife of the Tartars.

Some barbarians in savage lands do not know how to go to sea at all.

The Zhang family plotted to seize the Shen family's 3,000 acres of fertile land, and Shen Yue took advantage of saving his mother to sell the land and had the best opportunity.

Feudal etiquette, filial piety first.

If it weren't for such an opportunity, if he sold the land, Shen Yue would have been drowned by the people around him with spit. Otherwise, Shen Defu, the cheap father at the beginning, sold half of the land or raised less than 30,000 taels of silver to go to sea, and the Shen Mansion would not have ended up with today's results.

It took seven generations and hundreds of years for the ancestors of the Shen family to accumulate 3,000 acres of fertile land!

"Second Master Zhang, let's not talk darkly. All I need is a 2,000-material ship, or three 1,000-material ships! Shen Yue said calmly.

People in the mainland don't know, can Shen Yue not know?

Hearing Shen Yue's request, Zhang Shanlu gasped, this kid's appetite is really too big, "Do you know how much a 2,000-material sea ship costs?" ”

If Zhang Shanlu asks others, he will really be fooled, but the Shen Yue in front of him comes from later generations, and he is still a high-quality skilled talent in science and engineering!

"Two thousand treasure ships, timber and labor costs, less than sixteen thousand taels of silver. Equipped with a Franco cannon, the cost is less than 24,000 taels of silver......" Shen Yue replied without hesitation. "Thousands of seagoing ships, the cost is lower, the cost is only 6,000 taels......"

Shen Yue's data is all thanks to the developed network, and the cost of sea ships in the Ming Dynasty is not difficult to find.

Shen Yue often makes his own manufacturing and compares the manpower and people-oriented under various conditions, production and manufacturing conditions and various types of work.

Labor costs, in feudal society, are the cheapest.

The only thing is that the efficiency is too low.

Zhang Shanlu's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the Shen family would know so much about this.

Shen Yue's next words made Zhang Shanlu's face look so dark, as if he was not worried that the other party would kill him, "When my father went to sea, a 2,000 taels of 2,000 taels of sea ship came from Wujiawan in Dinghai, and the IOU of 30,000 taels of silver was only 6,000 taels ......."

Threat, this is definitely a threat!

Zhang Shanlu's face can already wring out water.

"When your father went to sea, he was not equipped with a Franco cannon......" After a long time, Zhang Shanlu spoke a little dryly.

"So my dad didn't make it back. The risks at sea are high, and I just want to protect myself. In addition, I don't want 1,200 catties of big cannons, 8 cannons of 600 catties are enough......" Shen Yue directly issued the conditions, "If the second master Zhang agrees, hand over the ship with one hand and the land deed with the other, and never regret it." In this way, the Zhang family does not have the notoriety of plotting to rob my Shen family's 3,000 acres of land......"

Shen Yue's suggestion made Zhang Shanlu very tempted.

A sea ship, there is simply not so much. A Furlong cannon is also not so expensive. And give the other party a jump to break the boat, a few waste cannons, so that this kid will die at sea like his father, and he will never suffer in the future.

At present, the Zhang family's maritime trade business is given to other families who have taken refuge in their family, and it will not have any impact if they are transferred at will. However, even so, there is a lot of profit to be shared, and it is not easy to build a sea ship if it is not done.

The prefect yamen, the prefect's yamen, and the governor's yamen must be taken care of at all levels, and the thousands of households guarded by the local government are also indispensable.

In the eighth year of Xuande (1433), the eunuch Zheng He of the Three Treasures died of illness in Guli on the west coast of the Indian Ocean, and the eunuch Wang Jinghong led the fleet to return in July, and Emperor Xuande decreed: "All the national treasure ships in the Western Ocean are ordered to stop", "The construction of the next sea ships everywhere is ordered to stop......"

At this point, the imperial court no longer built more than 1,000 large ships, nearly 200 years later, the imperial court's shipbuilding technology declined, Jingjiang, Weihe two lifting divisions under the jurisdiction of the shipyard, can only manufacture 400 warships and less than 1,000 ships.

These ships are not suitable for sea navigation.

At present, most of the seagoing ships at sea are thousands of materials or thousands of five hundred materials of sea vessels, but the Zhangjia fleet has 2,000 materials of shipbuilding technology.

Zhang Shanlu is really motivated, and he is more concerned about being able to eliminate future troubles at sea.

The Shen family's child is far more difficult than the surface, and when he goes to sea, he never wants to come back.

"It's a big deal, I need to think about it...... even if I agree, I can't agree right away.

"Second Master Zhang, the kid has a reluctant request, the Zhang family complained, and the Chunfeng Building fell into the ground, which made my mother go to prison unjustly, if the matter spreads, it is not a good thing for the reputation of the Zhang family, not to mention that there is still one day left today...... In addition, I am going to discuss with my mother and use the Shen family's house to pay off the debts, and I hope that Second Master Zhang will help to make peace,......" Shen Yue said with a calm face.

Zhang Shanlu looked at Shen Yue's calm face, his eyes were complicated, but his heart was shocked, this kid obviously understood several schemes, and he had to get rid of them!

"That's a subordinate doing it without permission, please rest assured, I will personally help explain the situation to the county master, and let Lingtang return home......" Zhang Shanlu agreed, as long as this kid goes to sea, don't think about coming back." I agree to your conditions, and I will also help persuade Chunfeng Lou to raise money for you for another three days! ”

Shen Yue came out of Zhang's Mansion with a relaxed face, stood outside the door of Zhang's Mansion, and looked at Zhang's Mansion with a calm face with his hands behind his back.

It wasn't until Shen Qi and Shen Jiu were about to ask that Shen Yue turned around.

"Young master, what did the Zhang family say?" Shen Qi's face was anxious. "The county master is having dinner at Zhang's house, and he won't see us if he waits at the county office."

"Go to the county office to meet my mother!" Shen Yue said calmly.

Shen Jiu's face changed sharply, and he asked eagerly, "Young Master, have you agreed to the conditions of the Zhang family?" ”
