Chapter 647: The Great Pioneer Era
"First of all, privateer passes are also hierarchical, and the number of fleets and guards that can be owned varies depending on the level, and in addition, the size of the reinforcements that can be summoned from the Doge's Palace is also different......"
No one questioned it, and this is also a matter of course, with only one or two companies, the size of the fleet's private soldiers will not be large enough to make the imperial court have scruples, but if it is a private alliance, just like the previous Jiangnan scholars, for the imperial court, there is a possibility that the tail will not be lost, so it is also a rainy day to restrict it in this regard. [No pop-up novel network]
Moreover, the effect of this restriction will only be reflected later, and at the beginning, even if you want to expand the scale, you have to have so many ships and manpower. Among the annihilated coalition forces, none of the people present here were the main force, but they also followed the trend, and the losses were naturally not few.
Summoning reinforcements from the Doge's Palace closes another loophole. I already had that mind turning fast before, if you lose the battle, you can summon reinforcements, then deliberately provoke some hard ideas, and after a little loss, then summon the court soldiers to crush the other party, and most of the income will be returned to yourself, isn't this pie in the sky?
Now it seems that although the champion Hou Dingce was unrestrained, the details were still very tight, and it was not so easy to drill loopholes.
No one regrets this, there are already many aspects involved in the new sea policy, it is very complicated, and the benefits are rich enough, so it is really unwise to try to exploit loopholes and incur the anger of Hou Ye.
Like the Wa Kingdom, the people who can drink the soup in Nanyang are the people present, and those who join after the Ningbo Conference must be ranked behind, isn't this a great benefit?
"Secondly, there is the preferential borrowing. Everyone must know the model in Tianjin......"
Hearing this word, everyone's eyes lit up, and they promised again and again: "Yes, yes." ”
According to the traditional concept of China, borrowing money is not a good thing, but as long as there is a little way, no one is willing to borrow from others if it is not exhausted.
I have to say that this is also a manifestation of the Chinese people's emphasis on integrity, this year is not popular in later generations that the concept of owing money is the uncle, and people who do not pay back the money they owe and are still smug will immediately be classified as ruffians and scoundrels by the people around them.
Xie Hong just crossed that time, and the reason why that classic history dared to come to the door to rob people was precisely because he got an IOU from the Xie family, otherwise, although Chen was arrogant, he didn't dare to mess around, after all, Xie Hong was still famous.
Those businessmen in the north admired Xie Hong's prestige and knew that he was not the kind of person who thanked him for his gratitude, so when they borrowed ships and goods from the Tianjin Shipping Division, they were so calm, and if they were to change their principals, at least more than half of them would be wait-and-see.
However, the concept of Jiangnan people is much more enlightened than that of northerners, and the atmosphere dictates that borrowing money to make profits is the royal way to make money.
What's more, the sea trade to be done now is not as piecemeal as before, but to make the scale as large as possible, and the people present have some net worth, but in the previous naval battle, there has been a lot of loss, compared with the unrestrained Nanyang Haice, it is inevitable that there is a feeling of looking forward to the ocean.
Now, Hou Ye proposed the terms of the loan, and everyone was excited.
"Lending includes several aspects, one is money, the second is ships, the third is manpower, and the fourth is goods, all of which can be borrowed......
"Dare to ask Lord Yang, what is the specific procedure?" As soon as Yang Min's voice fell, someone couldn't wait to ask: "In my opinion, these four aspects seem to be a bit repetitive, in fact, as long as you have money, isn't it enough?" ”
These words resonated with many people, and everyone nodded one after another, although it is not as good as later generations, but the commercial circulation of the Ming Dynasty is still very high, and there is money and know-it-all, which is not an exaggeration at all.
"Of course it's different, first of all, it's a boat, you don't think that the ships built by the imperial court are also lucky ships and wide ships, right?"
Yang Min said with a smile: "Although the Fu ship and the Guangzhou ship have many advantages, in fact, this type of ship is not suitable for going to the ocean, the speed is slow, the loading is not much, and the combat effectiveness is ...... Hehe, everyone understands people, there should be no need for Yang to say more, this kind of ship has a wide range of applications, but it has nothing to offer, it can only be regarded as a mediocre ship. ”
Fu Ship is a jack-of-all-trades ship, you can do anything, and at the same time you are not good at anything. The boat has a high degree of adaptability to the wind direction, and it can also sail against the wind, but correspondingly, when the wind is downwind, the speed of the ship does not have much bonus.
The most suitable direction for this kind of ship is smuggling, because it has no requirements for ports, does not need a deep-water port, and can dock anywhere; Moreover, although smuggling also depends on the monsoon, when it is a last resort, the lucky ship can sail against the wind; If you meet a pirate at sea, or act as a pirate yourself, the ship can also be used as a warship.
Therefore, the Fuchuan itself is also a product that came into being, and it can only adapt to the previous model, and it is much worse if it is changed to Nanyang.
"Could it be that Lushun also has merchant ships for sale now?" The flywheel battleship Jiangnan people successfully copied it at the beginning of the year, and everyone knew its advantages and disadvantages, and this ship could be used for combat after being equipped with the right weapons, but it was more suitable for exploration and rushing.
Although there is only one mainmast, the large sail on it can ensure the speed of this kind of ship when it is downwind, and when the wind direction is unfavorable, it can also be compensated by manpower. After listening to the four policies of the new sea policy, everyone quickly and accurately located it, yes, this ship is the most suitable expedition ship.
In addition, since it was able to defeat the Jiangnan coalition army, and there was no loss of its own, then Lushun must have an unknown warship, and if it was a flywheel battleship alone, it would be impossible for Lushun to win so easily.
There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness and speed of this kind of warship, and everyone will not inquire without self-knowledge, but since the strongest warship and the fastest expedition ship can be built, then the right merchant ship will be far away.
"Now there are two models tentatively, this time Hou Ye brought two samples, and they will dock at the port now......" Speaking of this, Yang Min paused slightly, turned his head to look at Xie Hong, and saw that the latter raised his hand slightly, he said: "Let's go to the port to have a look, and then continue to talk while watching." ”
After saying that, he raised his hand and motioned for everyone to go out of the city with him, and everyone did not hesitate, but immediately got up and rushed out. First, they were also very curious about the new merchant ship, and second, it was not a good pleasure to sit on a small bench, and these people were used to enjoying it, where did they suffer this sin.
Yang Min walked in front, and no one else dared to overstep it, but Yang Yong had a relationship with him, and he followed behind half a position behind, so that there was no one beside him, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Yang, in the third strategy of maritime politics, it is said that you can get an official title through exploration, and the title is fine, but this official, is it a ...... to enter the court?"
"Of course, it's an overseas official position."
Yang Min smiled slightly, and said frankly: "The Governor's Mansion of Luzon, tentatively with Wang Qianhu as the main post, and Zheng Qianhu and I as the deputies, and then when the time is ripe, we will go to Manjapahit to establish the Governor's Palace." However, these three places were the only ones that were designated, and other places in the South Seas, such as Annam, and India and other places beyond the South Seas, were also to build governors' offices. ”
Yang Min's words are not very comprehensive, Manjapahit is the Malaysia of the later generations, and Majapahit is the largest country in the Indonesian archipelago, plus India and the like, these are the places where Zheng He's fleet passed through back then.
There are many places that Jiangnan people may not know, but have been fenced off, such as the continent in the south of the South Seas, and the places further west of India, and even more east of the island. Yang Min had seen the map drawn by Xie Hong, knew how big the world was, and he was not hesitant to give Yang Yong some guidance.
"The easiest to reach, and the greatest credit, is the continent that crosses the island of Java to the south, where the Three Treasure Eunuchs have been. Although the nautical charts at that time are gone, there is no doubt that the continent is there, sir, if you are interested in this, the future governor of Australia must be no problem. ”
Seeing that there were some gains and losses in the other party's expression, Yang Min added again: "Master Hou said that the wealth in Australia is not much less than that in Nanyang, as long as it is properly developed, the wealth is self-evident." You know, the palace has already decreed, during the development period, the governor can take two percent of the overall income of the governor's palace, think about it, how much income must this be? ”
Yang Yong's heart was pounded, it seems that two percent seems to be very little, but in fact, it is not a lot at all, that is two percent of a large economy that is not inferior to the Japanese country, a small Japanese country, can already make so many businessmen rich, if it is exchanged for a continent, how much wealth does it have? Just thinking about it, he felt a little dizzy.
It's just that the keyword "...... the development period" has appeared several times, and if you don't figure it out, the benefits are impossible to estimate.
"The pioneering period refers to the period before the Governor's Mansion completely empties the local forces, and after the complete kingization, the Governor's Mansion will be abolished and replaced by the Yamen of the Political Division, which is consistent with the Central Plains."
Yang Min explained: "This concept is more complex to explain, and can be roughly divided into several processes of exploration, establishing colonies, expansion, immigration, total occupation, and finally emptying local forces. According to the actual situation of each place, this process also has its own advantages and disadvantages, for example, Luzon is relatively close to the Central Plains, maybe within ten years, it can be completed Wanghua, although India is far away, but the Indians are relatively easy to conquer, and the period will not be too long, Australia, I am afraid that it will take more than ten or even twenty years is not known. ”
"I see, ......" was a cry of joy and admiration.
Yang Min did not deliberately lower his voice, because these contents are also part of the New Deal, Xie Hong did not only focus on Nanyang, of course, the more people involved in the development, the better.
Yang Min concluded: "Let's not talk about the near, on the other hand, the farther away, the discoverer will have a high chance of becoming the governor of the local area, so the four strategies of maritime politics all have their own advantages, as long as they work hard, the benefits will not be less, in short, the imperial court will not treat the meritorious ministers." ”
"It's extreme, it's extreme, the policy set by Hou Ye is really extraordinary." The crowd was amazed again.
