Han Yanxuan made up his mind and was ready to order twelve clippers in one go, and the money to buy the boats must be earned back from the sale of lead printing equipment, of course, this matter must be supported by Zhao Lian first.
Without further ado, coming out of Mao Geng, Han Yanxuan went straight to Guogong.
Zhao Li's Spring Festival is very comfortable, at least there are many fewer shackles than in previous years, here the sea and the sky are open, unrestrained, Zhao Lu breathes the free air of the Special Economic Zone, feels the scene of increasing prosperity, so not at ease.
At the beginning of the year, it ushered in the successful trial of the clipping ship, which is really a great joy worth celebrating, so far, Zhao Lian feels that the shipbuilding industry he personally grasped has finally begun to take off, maybe next year, it will be able to build the class cargo ship that Mao Geng said, a two-thousand-ton cargo ship, well, that is called a class cargo ship.
The largest sea ship in the Great Song Dynasty at this time, that is, about 600 tons, as soon as he thought that one in the future could withstand the three ships of today, Zhao Lu was very much looking forward to it.
Although the first clipper ship was very successful, the tonnage was only 400 tons, which was obviously small, and this kind of ship was built first in the first half of the year, and in the second half of the year, it was time to build a 1,000-ton clipper.
In the new year, how to bring the entire territory of Taiwan under his rule and how to govern Taiwan, Zhao Luan, as the chief official of Taiwan, is of course duty-bound to this. Zhao Lian understands that while it is important to capture Taiwan, it is even more important to govern Taiwan well. Zhao Luan wants to show his governance skills, let Taiwan achieve great governance, and hand in an impressive answer sheet in front of the emperor's grandfather.
Zhao Luan's team is not strong, in order to take down Taiwan in order to shun lĂŹ before, the grass platform team that was temporarily erected are all military generals, Han Yanxuan is barely considered to be civil and military, but Han Yanxuan has never been a magistrate, and he has never had experience in governing one side, Zhao Luan faced such a stall, and he didn't know how to start for a while.
Later, 6 Jiuyuan and Ye Shi came, but both of them were gentlemen engaged in learning and teaching, the difference was that one was a generation of famous teachers in the folk academy, and the other was a doctor of Taixue from the highest government-run institution in the Great Song Dynasty. The experience of the two in local governance is also lackluster, 6 Jiuyuan had only been the chief bookkeeper before, and Ye Shi had only been a criminal officer, and when it came to the experience of local governance, it was not as good as Liu Yuchang, a staff member appointed by Zhao Lu's father during his lifetime.
Zhao Luan invited Liu Yuchang to be his staff, but Taiwan is different from Mingzhou, which is the territory where the rule of the Great Song Dynasty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, here in Taiwan, the administration of the Great Song Dynasty is only limited to Taipei, Kaohsiung and a few limited areas of the garrison, most of the areas are still entrenched by the natives, and how to subdue the natives is not Liu Yuchang's strength.
There are various opinions on how to digest Taiwan, and Mao Geng's opinion is to be developed in key areas, leading from point to point, step by step, and gradually digesting, but Mao Geng's energy is concentrated on the construction of the special zone, and he does not mix too much with Zhao Lu's plan to govern Taiwan. 6 Jiuyuan also held the same view as Mao Geng, and Ye Shi was slightly more radical. Standing on the standpoint of Zhao Luan, Liu Yuchang strongly advocated vigorously promoting Taipei as the center to the surrounding areas, and proposed that all regions of Taiwan be brought under the rule of the government within five years.
The five-year plan proposed by Liu Yuchang, according to the previous precedent of the Great Song Dynasty, is already a conventional exhibition idea, but Zhao Lian feels that the degree is still too slow, and in Zhao Luan's mind, it will take three years to complete the process of Taiwan's complete kinghood.
Therefore, today, Zhao Luan convened his generals to discuss the matter, the purpose of which is to promote the process of Taiwan's kingship.
Without Zhao Luan to mobilize more, Wu Xi took the lead:
"Qi Yu Guogong, the last general thought that to deal with the barbarians on the island, not too merciful, the last general was chased and killed by that barbarian a few years ago, and almost died under their hands, thanks to the blessing of the Guogong, the last general can be regarded as escaping this catastrophe. But there is no room for others to sleep soundly next to the couch! The last general thought that such barbarians who dared to fight against the heavenly soldiers would be the first to be destroyed and never suffer in the future. â
Guo Ni and Wu Xi had agreed to be in the same step, so they explained from another angle:
"Guogong, if you want to subdue the barbarians here, the last general thinks that what General Wu said is reasonable. The first step is to kill chickens and monkeys, first deal with the most stubborn barbarians, and deal with them, one word, kill! They resisted the heavenly soldiers, one of these crimes, almost killed Wu Xi, and the second crime, such barbarians, being polite to them is connivance. There is a way that if you don't use thunderbolts, it is difficult to show the heart of the Bodhisattva! After destroying this group of barbarians first, I believe that the barbarians of the four roads will be subdued, and then they can send military officers and officials to bring one region after another to the rule of the Great Song Dynasty. In the end, the general thought that he only needed to recognize one article, and whoever submitted to him was my Great Song people, and if there was resistance, he would resolutely exterminate it. In this way, with the great talent of the country, given time, we will certainly be able to govern Taiwan to a clear level, and in my opinion, we will be able to achieve great results in less than three years. â
Zhao Lian listened to Guo Ni's words, and said in his heart that he really lived up to the reputation of Zhuge Zhicai, yes, how could 6 Jiuyuan Ye Shi not come up with such a bold method! It seems that Mao Geng's influence is too deep, Mao Geng is good at everything, but his heart is too soft, and he has not advocated the method of exterminating the natives, but insists on using negotiation offensive to lure each other and guide the natives to submit to the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty. Hehe, Mao Geng has mainly stayed in Xinhua for a long time, and the routines of the Great Song Dynasty's naturalized barbarians have been deeply ingrained in Mao Geng's mind, so he naturally thought of implementing the naturalization policy of water grinding kung fu in Taiwan. The problem is that that kind of naturalization is a slow process, protracted, tens or hundreds of years before it is completed, where can I afford to wait! If you want to achieve quick results, you need to use both grace and power, and killing chickens and monkeys is the way.
The generals are specialized in force, and they are basically in favor of using force to forcibly bring the natives under the rule of the government, and even Jiang Bokui feels that this time is too merciful to the natives.
Liu Yuchang was a little worried, but when he saw Zhao Luan's excitement, he knew that Zhao Luan was already inclined to use force, and Wang Jiren, who was also Zhao Luan's staff, also agreed to take the opportunity to cut through the chaos immediately. At this time, only Liu Yuchang felt that it was inappropriate to be in a hurry, but it was difficult to scream alone, so he had to sigh secretly.
Zhao Lu saw that the military spirit was available, and the natives were vulnerable, so he immediately decided on a strategy of advancing by force. It's just that Guo, Wu, and Yue's three generals are under them, and now the soldiers and horses have only reached less than one-third, and after a few days, all the soldiers and horses will be together, and they will have to practice some cannons, and if they are equipped with some muskets, it will be better.
Today's Zhao Lian is much more sophisticated, and knows how not to express his position casually, although Zhao Lian has made up his mind at this time, but he is not in a hurry to say his decision, only that the matter is big and needs to be considered, so he announced the dissolution of the meeting.
Zhao Luan has to consider not only the issue of bringing all regions of Taiwan under the rule of the government, Zhao Luan estimates that it will not be too difficult to subjugate these barbarians with very primitive combat power, but once the natives are subjugated, there will be a group of officials to govern, and the problem is that it is not easy to find such officials. Before using force, it is necessary to take precautions and select a group of officials to come to Taiwan.
After the meeting ended, Zhao Yan came to the living room, and Han Yanxuan had been waiting here for a while.
"Lord Han, you came to me, is there anything wrong?"
"Guogong, I want to order twelve clippers."
"Oh, how to change twelve ships at once! Twelve ships, I'm afraid it's a little difficult! In addition, I am considering that Taiwan must also be equipped with clippers, at least four, and if there is an accident anywhere, send troops to sit on the clippers and arrive immediately, so that the incident can be quelled in time. That's eight, and Puqu also offered to buy clippers, but I haven't agreed yet. Jiang Ang told me that he could build fifteen or sixteen of these clippers this year, so he could give you eight clippers. â
When it comes to clippers, Mao Geng is very cool, I didn't expect the market to be so good! Wu Xi wanted to buy it, and he opened a high price of 15,000 yuan at random, but Wu Xi didn't even make a counteroffer. If it weren't for the fact that it was really inappropriate to sell it to Puqu as an advanced clipping boat now, Zhao Lian would like to try it at a price of 20,000 yuan, and it is expected that Puqu will also pay for it happily.
"Eight ships are eight ships, Guogong, for the sake of the Taiwan Song Dynasty Sea Trade is an official business, the price must be discounted, how about a 20% discount!"
Zhao Lian looked at Han Yanxuan, and saw that Han Yanxuan was a little hairy, and Zhao Lian said:
"Who called Tai Song Haimao to be government-run! All right! Eight percent off is eight percent off. â
Seeing Han Yanxuan's eyebrows, he immediately added:
"However, Lord Han, the current price has to tell you, a flying clipper boat, the price is 15,000 yuan, and Wu Xi is this price. For Taiwan and Song Haimao, of course, there should be preferential points, 20% off, 12,000 yuan, which is the least. â
Zhao Lu's meaning is that it is now a seller's market, and the seller has the final say, rather than a buyer's market where the buyer has the final say. Like China in later generations, selling Hongqi-9 missiles still depends on the face of the buyer, and it is not easy to reach an intention. Turkey is picking its nose and eyes at a bunch of sellers, and a bunch of big-name competitors are all low-eyed and competing to show goodwill, unscrupulously trying to grab this big order, I have to say, the buyer's market is so cruel.
But this is in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, and the clippers are exclusively produced, and there are no other branches, sorry! The price goes with the market, and it goes up when it is said, so there is nothing polite.
"Guogong, didn't you say that it was eight thousand times ago ------ ago!"
Han Yanxin said that Zhao Lian will have a turn of mind when he speaks now, the first half of the sentence is generally very beautiful, and the second half of the sentence is destined to be very tricky.
"Lord Han, before the New Year, the market is different! For example, a year ago, the stock of the deer head soap industry was about five times, and it will rise to eight times after the year, I know that Mr. Han has the stock of the deer head soap industry, if you sell it now, will it still be at the price of five times! â
This time, Han Yanxuan was speechless, saying that this stock has indeed risen a little too fiercely, the price of Golden Tuna Pharmaceutical has risen to more than 39 yuan, and it is almost 40 yuan, and the price of Sanlu makeup powder has also risen to more than 24 yuan, which is outrageous! Only the deer head soap industry rose the slowest and the price was the lowest, but in the end, it also rose by sixty percent.
In Zhao Lu's mind, the clipper boat rose from 8,000 to 12,000, only 50%, and on the basis of the market price of 15,000, it was also discounted by 80%, which was already a great discount.
Han Yanxuan said in his heart, in this way, it is even more necessary to earn back in the export of lead printing equipment.
To Han Yanxuan's relief, Zhao Lian expressed his support for selling lead printing equipment, because Zhao Lian knew that overseas Fanbang should not want to understand the mystery of lead printing equipment in a short period of time.
In the next step, Han Yanxuan has to find a way to do the work of the imperial court, which is not easy! Fortunately, Mao Geng once expressed his stance and asked Wen Yuan to also be active in Lin'an, working together to let the imperial court lift the ban on the export of lead printing equipment.
