Chapter 425: The Navy Sets Off
"What? Your Majesty bought thirty steamships at once? The price is still 50,000 gold higher than last time? ”
The next day, when Ying Feiyu informed Huang Yuan of this, his jaw dropped suddenly.
You know, last time it was just a steamship off the production line, and it was the first time Daqin had seen this thing.
That's when it sold for a million.
But now it is the second batch, and it has been backlogged in the yard for a long time, and it is even more expensive than before.
What a god!
"Of course, when my son goes out, there is nothing that can't be done!"
Ying Feiyu smiled slightly.
"The prince is now the prince, and the lower officials have not congratulated him!"
Huang Yuan bowed.
Ying Feiyu reacted at this time, now that his identity is the prince, he has to call himself the prince.
What a hassle!
"There's nothing to congratulate, it's not uncommon for this son to be a prince!"
"If you become a prince, you have to be an emperor, it's very troublesome!"
Ying Feiyu pouted, very impatient.
The corners of Huang Yuan's mouth twitched.
Everyone else is vying to be the prince and the emperor.
The little boy didn't want to be the prince?
He is worthy of being an apprentice of an immortal, and even his thoughts are different from those of them mortals!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty sent someone to inspect it yesterday, and there are a total of forty-five steamships that have been built! Now that the imperial court has bought thirty ships, what can be done with the rest? ”
Huang Yuan couldn't help but feel worried.
Those are all made at a great price, if the court doesn't buy them, is it difficult to expect the people to buy them?
"Waiting for the private sector to buy!"
However, Ying Feiyu's next sentence really surprised him!
Feelings, this is really waiting for the people to buy?
Then we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey?
One million gold ships, even if they are sold at a reduced price, they will cost 800,000 gold, who can afford this?
Besides, why did you buy it?
People can't go out to sea in a boat to fight other countries, right?
"When did Prince Ben say empty words? You just wait and see, the navy will leave in two days, and when the navy comes back, there will definitely be people scrambling to buy it, and then we won't be able to sell a million gold, at least 1.5 million gold to start! ”
Xiao Zhengtai smiled firmly.
"What? 1.5 million gold, still starting? ”
Suspicion appeared in Huang Yuan's eyes for the first time.
It's not that he doesn't want to believe it, it's that it's a little weird.
It is almost a well-known fact that steamships are expensive to build and cost a million ships.
At that time, the people's purchase has risen to 1.5 million, who will be the culprit of this injustice?
"That's right, but remember, if there are people who come to buy it, it must start with 1.5 million gold! One less article, this prince is the only one who asks! ”
"Yes! But in this way, will the people complain about you, the prince? ”
"Complaints? You can rest assured, when the time comes, Ben Gongzi will sell them the steamer, not only will they not complain, but they will have to thank Ben Gongzi! ”
In this regard, Xiao Zhengtai is very confident.
The spices of the South Seas are endless, and as long as the first batch of sailors who went to the South Seas come back, the people will definitely receive the news.
At that time, there will be a large number of people vying to go to the South Seas to pick spices, and it is no wonder that the steamship will not be out of stock!
Daqin's economy is thriving, and there are many people who have money in their hands, and there are not a few who can buy steamships!
"Oh?"
Huang Yuan was even more suspicious.
There is still such a thing in the world, spending more money, and being grateful to Dade?
"So, steam ships have to be built?"
"Build! Must be built! We have to speed things up! ”
"Yes!"
……
Two days later, Xin Sheng officially set off with the navy.
Normally, when the navy goes to sea, it should pick an auspicious day and auspicious time.
But the huge wealth is there, and Yingzheng is anxious.
How can you take care of any auspicious days and auspicious times?
Moreover, according to Daqin's current strength, when to set off, it is an auspicious time.
If you encounter any obstacles, just bulldoze them!
Also accompanying the army were Peng Yue, Fan Xu, Wang Li and other young generations.
The navy will not come back until the rivers melt after the year, and Ying Feiyu has just ascended to the position of the crown prince, so he did not accompany him!
Just picking some spices, he wasn't interested in anything.
Last time, Yingzheng's old man said that if he went to sea again, he had to follow, and it would be even more boring!
simply stay in Xianyang and spend a good year with your mother!
The navy rode the wind and waves, and after the ministers came down early, they began to discuss this matter.
"When the navy goes to sea, I don't know when it will be able to reach the South Seas?"
"Hey! What the are you doing! Didn't the little boy already hand over the specific route to General Xin, it is estimated that it will be about the same in ten days and a half months! ”
"It's a mess on that route, my head is going to explode when I see it, I can't understand it at all!"
"Either why does the little boy often say that he has a specialization in the art industry, General Xin is now in charge of the navy, and looking at the route is a necessary skill, or the little boy himself taught it, and people can understand it!"
"That's right! This old guy didn't achieve much on land, and when he moved to the navy, he turned out to be a ......! ”
With steamships, there was a place for the navy.
In addition, the status of the navy has been rapidly improved before the destruction of the Three Kingdoms, and its reputation in the hearts of the people is also excellent!
After all, he easily eliminated pirates at sea and eliminated harm for the people!
"You say...... Is there really that much spice in the South Seas? ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the apprentice of the immortals, can what he said be false? The prince said that there are spices in the South Seas, so there must be them! ”
"That's right, I also believe that this is true, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have been able to send 10,000 navies and thirty steamships to the water together, that scene must be spectacular!"
"Well, when all thirty steamships return next year, there will be a big stir!"
When the navy was still in power, the food, horses, and jewelry on the ship had already made the people crazy.
If all thirty ships were filled with spices, the scene would be even more unimaginable!
When the time comes, Zhang Han will be happy again!
If the household department doesn't increase the carriage, I'm afraid it won't be a matter of one day, and it won't be able to pull it all in three days and three nights!
"If the South Seas are borderlands and are overgrown with spices, then ...... Doesn't that mean...... Can we pick it too? ”
One of the ministers tentatively opened his mouth.
When the ministers who were moving forward around him heard this, they immediately paused, stared at him, and looked at him in horror.
"Don't look at me like that! Haven't you thought about it? ”
The minister was looked at uncomfortably, as if he had done something wrong.
In fact, everyone has had this idea before.
When Ying Feiyu mentioned Nanyang at the banquet and said that there were endless spices on the island, they had already thought about it!
But they can't help it, they don't have a boat!
A ship costs a million gold, and even the imperial court has to think about it and bargain with the little prince before buying it!
They are just leftovers among many officials, how can they have the strength to buy expensive ships?
Besides, even if you have the money to buy a boat, no one will be able to drive it!
This thing is very fresh, but it can't be carried out by a bamboo pole, it needs to be systematically studied and trained!
