The ships produced by the Zhoushui shipyard encountered an unusually strong opponent when they entered the Bohai Sea.

Before that, it is also necessary to understand the recent situation of the Zhoushui Shipyard in order to understand the strength of the opponent and where it is.

Since he was appointed by Qin Xiaobai as the director of Zhoushui Shipyard, he took a group of his subordinate brothers to basically stay in the shipbuilding base on the shore of Zhoushui Lake, immersed himself in shipbuilding, and was online for nearly 20 hours a day. This is a small advantage of the Lost Fortune Green Cow, once it is recognized, it will go all out to do it.

There are now as many as 20 docks in the Zhoushuihu shipbuilding base, and each dock can build one ship at the same time. It takes six hours to build a "light transport tank", which means that the shipbuilding base can build up to 80 light tanks per day around the clock - of course, usually not so much, because it may not be sold.

The shipbuilding base now mainly builds three types of ships: light transport ships; light, medium and heavy transport boats; Light, medium and heavy military assault boats.

A light transport cabin ship, which can carry 100 people or 10,000 catties of cargo, and costs 20,000 copper coins; -- This kind of cabin ship was sold to three shipping and shipping companies in Zhoushui for large-scale transportation of goods. However, because the water depth of the Zhoushui River was not enough, the shipyard did not dare to build medium-sized and heavy transport tanks, lest merchant ships loaded with goods run aground on some shallow rivers.

Light, medium and heavy transport boats can carry 1,000 catties/2 catties/3 catties of goods. Selling price of 1,000 copper coins/4/6,000 copper coins; - This is a small boat that is suitable for individual merchant players. Some players with financial resources can choose this flexible boat to run and transport in very small rivers, without worrying about the lack of water depth.

Light, medium and heavy military assault boats, not for sale. -- A small part of the shipyard was built to keep the army of the Zhoushui Alliance for backup, and by the way, it was used to train a naval army in Zhoushui Lake.

Sooner or later, the Zhoushui Alliance will take the road of Shanghai war hegemony, and now it will first train a small number of sailors to accumulate experience in water warfare; After Micai Qingniu served as the director of Zhoushui Shipyard, he had only three tasks: first, shipbuilding. The second is to sell ships, and the third is to study higher-grade ships. The current aspect of the progress of the study of the ship.

Stuck on a complicated sailboat, all NPC technicians went to Zhoushui Academy to learn the basics. Make up for all kinds of physics common sense. Wait until they've got the basics up and then come back and study sailboats. It is estimated that it will be much easier to study sailing technology at that time.

Zhoushui Shipyard itself does not operate transportation, and running transportation is the business of the three shipping and transportation chambers of commerce. These three shipping chambers of commerce were funded by some chamber leaders such as sheep, nameless, Shanhai, and Xiaoyu, and purchased all the cabin ships in the shipyard's production area.

After Qin Xiaobai's authorization, the three shipping chambers can use it for shipping in Zhoushui River. The three shipping companies will purchase the vessel and specialize in shipping large amounts to other player customers. Along the banks of the Zhoushui River, head south for trade. The Zhoushui River is about 100 miles long, and it meets with a huge main water system group "Jihe" in another place.

Thistle River. The west is connected to all the large and small rivers around Jicheng, and the east is connected to the large and small rivers to the Bohai Sea, connecting the entire hinterland of Yan Kingdom.

After the light transport tanks of the three shipping chambers of commerce stepped out of the narrow water and entered the main water system of the Jihe River, they suddenly saw a strong competitor -- a small number of medium-sized and heavy tanks sailing in the Jihe River.

The larger the carrying capacity, the fewer sailors are needed, the lower the cost of land, the longer the distance that can be sailed, and the greater the profit advantage of a long-distance transportation.

The light transport tanks used by the three shipping companies in Zhoushui are obviously in a disadvantaged position compared to the medium-sized and heavy-duty transport tanks in other walled cities. The leaders of the Chamber of Commerce knew about this situation and were a little dissatisfied, so they asked the Lost Fortune Green Bull to create a cabin ship with a larger carrying capacity.

The young bull couldn't cry or laugh, if he could build a heavier ship, he would have built it a long time ago, did he still have to wait until the Chamber of Commerce to talk about it?

In front of the heads of the three major shipping chambers of commerce, such as sheep and nameless, the green cow has no status now. He hurriedly and obediently explained the reason to the leaders of the three major shipping chambers of commerce: the Zhoushui River was too shallow to be built, and he was afraid of running aground.

The leaders immediately demanded that two heavy ships be built to see if they were stranded.

Heavy cabin ships have been built a long time ago, but they have not been sold. The Fortune Cow immediately took a heavy cabin ship out of the dock's boathouse and let the leaders see the effect.

The heavy cabin ship can sail unimpeded in the surrounding water when the warehouse is empty, but after sailing a short distance after loading 30,000 catties of cargo, it really ran aground on a shallow river channel and could not walk.

The leaders had no choice but to think of other ways to compete with rival shipping vessels.

Prevent the course of the Ji River from being completely controlled by other merchant ships, and deprive them of their transportation advantage.

After a little total, they first came up with the simplest plan to defeat the opponent, that is, blocking, directly blocking the competitor's shipyard - there are no ships, see what else they can use for shipping.

Of course, the Fortune Green Bull raised his hands in favor of this. If you don't beat your opponent. To whom did he sell the ships he built in his dockyard? The most important thing is that the success or failure of the shipyard is directly related to the strategic plan of the little white boss to monopolize Yanguo Shipping, which in turn affects more strategic plans in the future.

The young bull who is obsessed with money is absolutely in favor of directly blocking the shipyards that are dealt with.

The blockade was immediately launched.

The Chamber of Commerce sent a large number of players to track down where those medium-sized and heavy cabin ships on the Ji River came from. It's not hard to check, just ask the owner of the boat. They soon learned that the ships had been purchased from the only player shipyard in Bohai City. All the cabin ships are produced from this shipyard.

Next, they found out the strength of this Bohai shipyard.

This is a very old force in the Bohai Walled City, the leader is 'lonely', with hundreds of players, and it was one of the top ten forces in the Bohai Walled City before, and it is not particularly significant. However, since more than ten days ago, he invested a large amount of money to successfully develop the technology of cabin ships, defeated several other shipbuilding competitors in Bohai, and has sold more than two or three hundred cabin ships of various types to various places, and returned a huge amount of money, his power quickly expanded and became powerful in Bohai City, and he became the number one player in Bohai. With his crazy shipbuilding expansion, if nothing else, it would not be uncommon for him to use his strong financial resources to unify the player forces of the entire Bohai City half a month later.

The ban of the three major shipping chambers of commerce in the Zhoushui Alliance is, of course, not an empty word, but a real shot.

To build a cabin ship, you need craftsmen who have mastered shipbuilding technology, wood, and bronze.

Shipbuilders, Lonely already has a large number. Timber is too easy to obtain, and there are many large forests around Bohai City, which cannot be blocked and cut off from its source. The easiest thing to block is bronze.

This bronze, mostly large bronze nails, was used to nail thick ship plates. It's small, but it's essential. To build a cabin ship, the number of bronze nails consumed is still quite large.

The more ships you build, the more you consume. Of course, the easier it is to block.

"Bronze is needed for shipbuilding, and without bronze, how can their ships be built? Glued with shark glue? Hey! ”

The three major shipping chambers of commerce will block bronze.

And they have a very favorable condition: the two bronze producers in Bohai City have already been defeated by the Zhoushui Alliance, and they don't know what to do. In other words, Bohai City no longer produces bronze.

The Zhoushui Alliance immediately imposed a blockade and embargo on Bohai City, prohibiting all large bronze nails from flowing into Bohai City. If there are bronze nails in other walls, once they are tracked down by the merchants and players of Zhoushui, they will also be immediately surrounded and intercepted. Make every effort to stop the flow of large bronze nails into Bohai City.

But this kind of blockade didn't even stir up a splash.

The Bohai shipyard was indifferent and did not receive any repercussions.

It was still built one ship at a time, and Xun was sold to a player merchant from Yan who didn't know which walled city.

The three major shipping merchants sent people to go deep into Bohai City to investigate and find out, and it was only then that they were shocked to realize that the Bohai Shipyard could make large bronze nails that nailed ship plates by itself, and there was no need to buy them from outside at all -- the original two bronze producers in Bohai City were once one of the powerful forces in Bohai City. After a fiasco in the competition with the Zhou Shui Alliance, he has now been co-opted by Lonely and rejoined to his subordinates, specializing in the production of bronze nails.

Speaking of which, I'm afraid it's thanks to the Zhoushui Alliance. Otherwise, Lonely would not have been able to absorb these two player forces that could produce bronze so easily. Although it is impossible to produce bronze on a large scale because of the scarcity of copper ore, it is more than enough to produce the few bronze nails used by itself. They don't make money by selling bronze, they make money by selling ships. The blockade of the Zhoushui Alliance did not even attract any attention from Lonely at all.

When the sheep, nameless and others learned of this, they were stunned and couldn't say a word.

This means that they do not have any "normal" economic means to shut down the Bohai shipyard. If they can't come up with a way to strangle the Bohai Shipyard in a short period of time, then the entire Jihe River will be completely monopolized by the Bohai Shipyard. There is no foothold in Zhoushui Alliance Shipyard and Zhoushui Three Shipping Chambers of Commerce.
