Chapter 155: Cost
Zhu Youzhen made no secret of his thirst for talents, so this time the spring breeze completely blew on the craftsmen in the whole Ming Dynasty.
As long as you have enough ability, as long as you have the confidence to participate in the qualification assessment of local organizations.
Starting from the third level to the first level of assessment, there are only different assessment items, assessment standards, assessment time, and assessment location, but there is absolutely no saying how many years must be completed before the assessment can be continued.
Eclectic talent reduction.
Zhu Youzhen took out a large amount of silver and sprinkled it, but the purpose was actually to be able to gather enough shipbuilding talents in the first place.
After all, among the 35 professional certifications that were opened for the first time, about 21 of them are actually inextricably related to the shipbuilding industry.
At the same time, the Royal Bureau of Statistics received a task of mapping the shipbuilding industry across the country, and this statistical survey, Zhu Youzhen also thought that it was a large-scale training for the Royal Bureau of Statistics.
After all, in fact, many times the establishment of the new political bureau of the Ming Dynasty is relatively short.
Although he was able to reluctantly complete the tasks arranged by Zhu Youzhen, he often made mistakes for various reasons.
And this time, Zhu Youzhen gave enough silver.
It is to tell all the new policy bureaus one thing, as long as they want to do it, let go of their hands and feet to do it.
Today's Daming is not short of silver in the short term.
And in the long run, there will be no shortage of silver...
Daming's industry and commerce continued to flourish, and the Daming Royal Taxation Bureau also completely became Zhu Youzhen's money printing machine, and tens of millions of taels of silver were deposited into the Daming Royal Bank every quarter.
Let today's Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, finally experience the arrogant feeling of having money in his hands.
However, this feeling of arrogance did not last long.
Almost quickly, the cost estimate of the new steam-powered ship was sent to the Dongnuan Pavilion, in exchange for the stunned Zhu Youzhen.
"What!? A steam-powered warship costs nearly 300,000 taels of silver? ”
"What about robbery?"
This high cost made Zhu Youzhen, the so-called emperor who is rich in the world, stunned his eyeballs...
The construction of the shipyard cost more than 800,000 taels of silver, and the most important expenditure came from the construction of a number of steam engines and boiler turbines production equipment in the local area.
Just one set of these things, the cost is as high as more than 300,000 taels of silver.
Not to mention other docks, the cost of the whole addition is definitely not low, Zhu Youzhen can feel that this figure is estimated to be the minimum budget to meet the requirements.
After all, after all, the Ming Dynasty is not the reckless nouveau riche after all, and the Ming court is still used to living a poor life.
"Tell the Royal Directorate of Industry and try to find a way to reduce the cost of this steam turbine, the technology is so mature, why is the cost still so high!"
"And then..."
Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth: "Tell the Daming Royal Bank to fully guarantee all the funds for the Sailor Plan!" ”
Wang Chengen hurriedly took the order and turned to leave, the emperor's expression was very ugly.
It's not a good thing to stay for a long time.
But in fact, Zhu Youzhen also knew in his heart that the plan to eat a big fat man at the beginning was probably going to be miscarried.
At the beginning, Zhu Youzhen was also preparing to rely on large-scale warships to form a fleet that the Ming Dynasty would be invincible on the sea.
But now it seems that the first emperor is not half of the business, and it is very likely that he will spend his budget halfway.
And in Penglai, Shandong, the situation encountered by the 10th Division of the Tianhu Army was even more troublesome.
...
When the whole division received Zhu Youzhen's task, Zhao Yunkai was full of all kinds of worries, but all the soldiers under his command did not think so.
Many people feel that this is the task that the emperor personally gave to the 10th Division.
What a great honor this is, why can't you do something out, so Zhao Yunkai decided after some consideration to go directly to Qingdao Port through Tianjin Port.
Transporting troops by sea also gives these landlubbers a taste of the sea, after all, Zhu Youzhen asked him to train the sailor, and the sailor is afraid of the water and the whole sailor.
Thereupon.. On the way to Qingdao Port..
"Wow! Wow! ”
"No.. No, I can't stand it..."
"It's shaking more on the deck, and it's even more uncomfortable to go up..."
"Company commander, can you tell the boat driver, let our brothers slow down."
The company commander endured the discomfort that kept pouring out of his heart, and scolded loudly: "Slow down? We are the first new sailors in the Ming Dynasty, and we are all seasick, and we can't make people laugh when we say it! ”
"But, but... These brothers really can't take it anymore."
"Phew! If you can't stand it, you have to bear it for me, this ship is going with the big fleet, let's slow down, the boat behind has to slow down, I can't afford to lose this person! ”
"Yes! Captain... Don't talk either... Take your time. ”
Seeing this, the soldiers on the side couldn't bear to say anything to the company commander, after all, everyone was uncomfortable at the moment, and the irrepressible stench in the cabin could not be dissipated.
Everybody is having a hard time at the moment...
Finally..
Fortunately, the distance from Tianjin Port to Qingdao Port is not far, otherwise many soldiers may have to kneel on the spot first, why would the Tianhu Army from Shandong to Liaodong not have such a situation before?
The problem arises as the origin of soldiers in the Tiger Army, for example, today.
Now the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army are still mainly northern soldiers, but the northern soldiers also have differences in different regions, such as the 11th and 12th divisions that went to Liaodong before, why are they okay?
Even including the 3rd Artillery Division and two logistics support brigades.
The key problem arises in the source of soldiers, as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft, the Tianhu Army will be roughly arranged closer to the soldiers' birthplaces when recruiting soldiers.
After all, most of the people around you are fellow villagers, so it's easier to help each other when recruits are training.
Most of the soldiers came from the coastal areas of Shandong, and the young men formed two infantry divisions, but none of them were waved to Liaodong with a big hand.
After all, apart from them, other soldiers went to Golden State by sea.
The road can be shaken apart, let alone any combat power.
So they rested in Shandong in advance and became the first batch of support troops to go to Liaodong, and most of the soldiers of the 10th Division of the Tianhu Army at present came from Shanxi.
You said that it is okay for them to add more stale vinegar when they eat noodles, but Shanxi is a completely inland province... Most of these soldiers had never seen what the sea looked like.
But now it has become the foundation of the Daming Shandong Water Division.
It's hard to imagine what kind of ordeal these soldiers have to go through in Shandong...
