Chapter 179: Sea Macro
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Chen Liang looked at Jiang Kui sitting opposite, Jiang Kui's talent is beyond doubt, but it is obvious that at this moment, he can't keep up with his own ideas, well, Brother Jiang Kui is still slightly lacking in keeping pace with the times.
Chen Liang and Mao Geng have been together for a long time, and it can be said that the whole person has been influenced by Mao Geng, and his thinking is obvious.
And Chen Liang is writing "Alice in Wonderland" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one is a fantasy novel, the other is a historical novel, Chen Liang is now able to switch freely between fantasy and history, he can still feel the cruelty of history in the last moment, and he can enjoy the beauty of fantasy in the next moment, a mind wanders between reality, history and the future, Chen Liang feels that he has opened a wonderful door.
Chen Liang naturally couldn't agree with Jiang Kui's opinion, so he elaborated:
"Brother Yaozhang, do you know, Dali seems to be very close to my Great Song Dynasty, adjacent to Sichuan and Guangxi, but the mountains and mountains are not easy to come and go! Humanity is Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky, it is said that Dali side, its traffic is more difficult than Sichuan, from Lin'an to Dali, at least three or five months, it looks close, but in fact it is far away! In comparison, the sea traffic can be described as convenient, from Lin'an to Annam, but forty or fifty days, from Guangzhou to Annam, it is even faster, from Annam to Kra Isthmus, but twenty or thirty days. The Great Song Dynasty and the Champong of Annam and the Kra Isthmus seem far away, but they are actually very close. ”
Jiang Kui also admitted that Chen Liang was also good at what he said, so he bowed slightly.
Chen Liang began to introduce the new technology from Mao Geng:
"And you don't know, Mao Geng is building a kind of clipper, it is said to be called a flying clipping boat, which can sail at least 300 miles a day, and the fastest can sail more than 1,000 miles a day, according to Mao Geng, this kind of ship will go from Tianzhu to Guangzhou in the future, but 21 days. 21 Oh my God! Brother Yaozhang, although the sea is far away, it is really a thoroughfare. Hehe, when Tang Seng went to Tianzhu to learn scriptures, if he took a flying clipper boat, he could call back and forth in half a year. ”
In the thirties of the nineteenth century, in order to transport opium, the British Jardine Matheson and another foreign company jointly opened up a fast flying clipping route between Calcutta and Lingdingyang, and it only took 21 days to transport opium to China.
Jiang Kui listened to these words, but he didn't believe it anyway, Jiang Kui looked at Chen Liang for a long time, and now Chen Liang didn't mean to joke, so he had to smile bitterly:
"Brother Tongfu, have you written too many fantasy novels, and even believed in yourself! The fastest ship of my Great Song Dynasty travels less than 200 miles a day on the sea, and the ship that travels thousands of miles a day is okay to write in your fantasy novels, but Brother Tongfu must not write and write, if you are not careful, you will mistake this non-existent thing for real, this is not appropriate. ”
Jiang Kui thinks that this is because Chen Liang has the paranoia of science fiction writers, and he writes and writes that even he believes it is true.
Chen Liang shook his head, Jiang Kui seemed to be still accustomed to the traditional way of thinking of 6 exhibitions, and he was still a little resistant to the blue ocean strategy, so he persuaded him:
"Brother Yaozhang, come, drink, I'm still sober, and there is no problem with Brother Yaozhang to have a few more drinks."
As soon as the wine glass was touched, it was dry when it reached the mouth, Chen Liang sighed and said:
"Brother Yaozhang, during the Han and Tang dynasties, there were 6 Silk Roads in the northwest, and my Great Song Dynasty lost the northwest, so I could only rely on the sea route, which was the maritime Silk Road that replaced the former Silk Road, and this maritime Silk Road was very important to my Great Song Dynasty. Previously, our Great Song Dynasty maritime merchants said that they couldn't get involved in the Tianzhu trade, even if it was the Three Buddhas, they were mostly unable to catch it. The Maritime Silk Road was mostly controlled by big cannibals, and the big food maritime merchants made the biggest profits, Brother Yao Zhang, it can't always be like this! Anyway, since I, Chen Liang, understand the stakes, no matter what, I won't ignore it. ”
Jiang Kui saw that Chen Liang had made up his mind, and he didn't want to be too frustrated with Chen Liang, but just reminded:
"In this case, what I want to remind Brother Tongfu is that it is better to do what you can, I watch Mao Geng act, making money is the first priority, I have never seen Mao Geng do that vain thing. Brother Tongfu, we are alone overseas, and it is okay to make money, if it involves overseas territory, although the idea is not bad, I am afraid that the strength will not be good, so it is better to be cautious. ”
Jiang Kui also admitted in his heart that the sea trade is indeed a million profits, and Annan has dug a huge coal mine here, and it is constantly creating wealth, as long as there is no chaos, it is better than doing anything. It's just that Chen Liang is obsessed with blind expansion, so don't get into trouble.
Chen Liang saw that Jiang Kui had accommodated his opinion, and then said with relief:
"Brother Yaozhang, in fact, Dali can also have a plan, but Dali Duan's family has been operating in Dali for a long time, but it is not as easy to operate between the sea and the peninsula here, Brother Yaozhang can rest assured, as long as you free your hands, Dali still has to go." Next year, it will still be mainly this side, and I think that next year, it will not be a problem for Krama Road to be repaired. In addition, I believe in Mao Geng's anyway, after Mao Geng's clipper ship is built, I am going to order a few more, going back and forth between Tianzhu and Kra Isthmus, Kra Isthmus and the Great Song Dynasty, and you can also settle in Champa and Halong Bay in the middle, Brother Yao Zhang, when the clipper boat is opened, the two of us can go to the Special Economic Zone from time to time to take a look, right? ”
"Thank you for Brother Tongfu's kindness, hehe, of course this is a good thing, I want to meet Brother Xiangshan several times."
"When the time comes, go together."
Then Chen Liang simply stayed in Halong Bay for the New Year, there are more and more Song people here in Halong Bay, and there is no shortage of beauties and Qiong wine, Chen Liang and Jiang Kui are both Yixing flying people, the two of them chant poems and lyrics, and there are beauties singing and dancing, naturally happy.
In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year, and first He Zhu came to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning, and this guy was positive!
"Director Chen, we can gather more than 1,000 people, there are more than 30 large and small boats, Director Chen, look, when will we go to the Nakra Isthmus?"
"He Zhu, don't worry, I'll go after the Lantern Festival. In addition, I have to take a good look at your boats, I tell you, you follow me, I will not treat you badly, in the future, I will order a kind of fast boat for you, much faster than your current ship, two or three times, as long as you do it well, and it is not impossible to equip you with an iron ship. ”
is talking about it here, Lin Gui is also here:
"Director Chen, I, Lin Gui, have a New Year's greeting for you! Director Chen should also take care of me when he arrives, and don't forget that I, Lin Guicai, will be the iron boat. Lin Gui listened to Chen Liang's promise just now, and naturally did not forget to ask for equal treatment.
"Come on, come, sit, sit, for the two of you, of course, you are treated equally, clippers, iron boats, there are them, but you have to pay for the money yourself."
He Zhu hurriedly responded:
"Okay, Director Chen will do whatever he wants. There are still a few pieces of silver. ”
Lin Gui also refused to admit it, and also said:
"I'm the same, I listen to Director Chen."
Chen Liang was happy in his heart, of course it was good that these two people were willing to pay. But Chen Liang still wanted to test Lin Gui's determination, so he asked intentionally:
"Boss Chen's subordinates, I don't know how many people can be gathered to participate in Malay Holdings?"
"Director Chen, there is no problem with 1,200 people."
It seems that Lin Gui and He Zhu will make full use of the policy, one Song person with two Annan temporary workers, well, this time Lin Gui and He Zhu have a total of 2,200 people, which can be regarded as a small scale.
Chen Liangxing's head was very high, and he decided to cheer up the guy who was willing to follow him closely, so he put out the sand table for making zuò:
"You two come and see."
Lin Gui and He Zhu glared at each other and walked to the sand table.
Chen Liang smiled:
"You two, it doesn't matter how negative you usually are, now that it's the New Year, let go of the grievances first, okay!"
When the two of them heard it, they felt that it was the same reason, and the two laughed, which was a little goodwill.
Chen Liang happily waved the slender wooden stick in his hand and pointed to the sand table:
"This is the Kra Isthmus, on the east coast, here, to build a port, in the same way, on the west coast, here, to build a port, between the two ports, we at Malay Transport Holdings are going to build a road, the two of you, each send half of the people to participate in the construction of the road. He Zhu's people will cultivate from the west to the east, and Lin Gui's people will cultivate from the east to the west, and these people will listen to Song San. ”
"What about the other half?" , He Zhu asked hurriedly.
"Didn't I say that I would order a fast ship and an iron ship for you, you don't want to think about why! Let me tell you, the other half of your people have to do the escort, He Zhu, your fleet is escorting in the western seas, Lin Gui, your fleet is escorting in the eastern seas, you two escort fleets, only listen to my command, understand? ”
Chen Liang is to have a sailor fleet under his own command, saying that the threshold of the sailor fleet in this era is indeed not high, Chen Liang thinks that after being equipped with clippers and iron ships, the patchwork sailor fleet under him can be regarded as leading the times. As for whether Mao Geng will agree to build iron ships for the Chen fleet, Zhao Lu will not allow it, that is another matter.
Lin Gui and He Zhu may not be willing to listen to Song San, but they are very happy to be commanded by Chen Liang, and their boss is Chen Liang! This means that I am very qualified. Who is Chen Liang! People know 500 years in advance, and 500 years later, compared with Zhuge Liang, the best in history, Chen Liang's light is also very bright, anyway, it is not far behind. So the two of them couldn't stop nodding their heads and agreed.
"So, can we ship the goods too?" , Lin Guixin said, in Tianzhu Sea Trade, how can you get a piece of the pie.
"It's not impossible, but it can't affect the escort. In other words, if a merchant ship is robbed at sea where you are each responsible for escorting, I will ask you alone. ”
Suddenly remembered that the two did not deal with each other, and it would be fine if the river water did not interfere with the well water if the escort was escorted, but if it was to transport goods, it would not be possible to avoid cooperation, so he said:
"I have to make it clear to you first, this route is a water 6 combined transport, if you want to ask about Tianzhu trade, the two of them have to join forces."
The maritime blueprint constructed by Chen Liang will adopt the mode of sea-6 intermodal transport, which is of course no problem for the Taisong Sea Trade, and can be inserted into the end. However, for other merchants, there is the problem of Zài segmented transportation, so in Chen Liang's design, the eastern and western ports of the Kra Isthmus will eventually be built into two commercial ports.
In the blueprint constructed by Chen Liang, in the future, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty, Zhenwax, Annan, or Champong, if you want to buy Tianzhu's goods, it is enough to go to the port and commercial port on the east coast. And if the merchants on Tianzhu and Dashi wanted to purchase the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, they only needed to go to the port and commercial port on the west coast.
In this way, the trading ports on the east and west coasts of the Kra Isthmus became the hub of the Maritime Silk Road.
