Chapter 516: Collecting Wealth in the South Seas
The steamships docked one after another, and the people waiting on the shore rushed towards their own ships.
Immediately afterwards, there was an endless stream of carriages in Chang'an City, driving towards the mansions.
"Look, that's Feng Shangshu's carriage! Gee! That's a lot of good stuff! ”
"The Tongwu Hou family over there is called beautiful, and the big wooden boxes are resisting inside, and they must be full of gold, silver and jewelry!"
"I've heard that in addition to spices, there are also a lot of precious stones in the South Seas, not to mention anything else, just walking along the seaside, you can pick up a lot of valuable goods in a day!"
"That's right, that's right, I've also heard that the natives there don't know the goods, and they give all the good things to the children as toys, but the old clothes we don't want are rare!"
"I really envy these people who can buy steamships and go to the South Seas to collect money!"
"Although the steamship is expensive, we can buy it in large shares, and each person will pay a little less, and wait until the next time the navy goes to sea, follow suit, and also go to the South Seas to make money! Even if you don't pick up any valuable gems, you can make a lot of money just by picking spices! ”
"That's right......!"
The return of the navy and civilian steamships has become a hot topic of discussion among the people in Chang'an City.
Watching boxes of treasures being transported to various mansions, it would be fake to say that it is not hot!
Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, Ying Feiyu came to the newspaper office and found someone to write a report on Nanyang.
It details the geographical location and climate, as well as the natives, spices, and most importantly, rubber!
That's the whole story.
Ying Feiyu is ready to set up a rubber factory to purchase rubber at a high price and at any time.
As a result, the shipyard became popular again.
Whether it's spices or rubber, if you want to go to the South Seas, you must have a ship, right?
Ordinary small wooden boats enter the sea, and they can't row far before they are swept into the sea by the wind and waves, and they must be steamships made of steel.
Not only is it powerful, but it is also relatively heavy, so it is easy to avoid accidents!
It is true that people go to sea to make money, but the premise is that they must also have a life to spend.
You can't put your life on the line in order to make money!
"I heard that the Li family, who bought the boat last time, took back the capital and made a lot of money on this trip alone! Now, if nothing else, just selling the ship will be worth more than a million gold! ”
"What's more! Steam ships are made of steel, and when they go to sea, how can they depreciate so much? Sell at least 1,340,000 gold! ”
"Tsk! In less than half a year's work, I have earned so much, I can't imagine it! ”
"This is nothing, that Wang family in Longxi, I heard that the gems just picked up are worth a fortune!"
"Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has begun to buy rubber again, even if he doesn't find anything, he can make a fortune just by selling rubber......
In the shipyard, the people chatted in groups of three or five, and their eyes revealed their desire for Nanyang.
In the past six months, the shipyard has not stopped for a moment, and now many steamships have been built, which can basically meet the needs of these people, and there will be no crazy robbery like last time.
Many of the Chinese military ministers of the DPRK have tasted the sweetness of Nanyang, and even the upper dynasty has a smile on their faces.
In the early days, Ying Zheng took the lead in proposing that the naval officers and men should go to Nanyang again in a few days.
None of the ministers present objected, but were ecstatic.
Because they're waiting for it!
When the time comes, let your own ship follow closely and go to the South Seas to catch a wave!
After the development of the navy, it has now reached nearly 50,000 people, all of whom are familiar with water and are familiar with the operation of steamships.
What is most lacking is actual combat.
So let the navy go to sea, Ying Feiyu has no opinion.
It's just that every time a group of people have to be replaced, and the experienced old navy will take those recruits to go, which will be regarded as training!
The navy went to sea this time, and there were many more ships behind it than last time.
Wealthy merchants from all over Daqin rushed to buy steamships and go to the South Seas to make money!
We will not be able to return until next spring, when the snow and ice melt.
After bidding farewell to the navy, Ying Feiyu was about to enter the palace, but he was summoned to the train station by Hei Bingtai, saying that His Majesty was there.
Along with a group of old goods, they were all called over!
"Father, ...... are you?"
When I came to the train station, I saw Ying Zheng dressed in civilian clothes, sitting in the VIP room.
"Can't you see that? I'm going to travel by train......! ”
Seeing everyone coming, Ying Zheng stood up, opened his arms, turned around in front of everyone, and continued: "Now that autumn is coming, I want to take the train to see how the harvest of the people everywhere is!" ”
"Your Majesty, you have a lot of opportunities, there are still many affairs in the court that you need to deal with personally, if you leave, what can you do with those things in the court?"
Before Ying Feiyu could speak, Feng Qujian first made a bitter face and stopped Ying Zheng's trip.
"Humph! My special train has been built for more than half a year, and every time you use this to prevaricate me and prevent me from traveling, but you often travel secretly by train, don't think I don't know! ”
Ying Zheng snorted coldly twice and glanced at everyone.
The old ones flattened their mouths and quietly lowered their heads.
That's right, since the train opened, they often took advantage of the rest of the time to buy tickets in advance, go to other counties to play, and then come back quietly.
Unexpectedly, Your Majesty even knew about their little move?
"So this time I have already thought about it, not only I am going to travel, but I will also accompany you, I have just sent someone to send a message to your mansion, and I will be back in three days! As for the affairs of the government, the ministries will solve them first, and if they can't be solved, they will accumulate together and discuss them after you come back! ”
Ying Zheng made up his mind this time, and his tone was very tough and could not be vetoed.
"Yes!"
Several ministers also saw Yingzheng's determination, so they had to nod and agree.
Ying Feiyu looked at the deflated expressions of a few old guys, and couldn't help but snicker!
"Father, son, ......!"
"Shut up, you kid take the train to travel, it's your kid's best to run back and forth, even if you don't want to go, you have to go with me this time!"
As soon as Ying Feiyu wanted to refuse on behalf of Ying Zheng and supervising the country, he was blocked back by Ying Zheng's words.
"Yes!"
Feng Shui takes turns, and I just laughed at a few old goods, but I didn't expect to be laughed at by a few old people when I turned my head.
No way, even if you don't want to go out with Ying Zheng, you have to go along!
So, under the arrangement of the station, the special train ordered by Yingzheng for millions of gold was dispatched for the first time.
The other trains are all green, but Yingzheng's special train has a black and red appearance, which echoes the color of the dragon robe, and also represents its identity and uniqueness!
The interior decoration is naturally dominated by yellow, supplemented by other colors.
There were eight carriages, and in addition to the utility room, dining room, and the guard's quarters, there was also a sleeper carriage for the accompanying ministers.
Among the remaining four rooms, one is a luxuriously furnished living room, which has a tea table, tea cups, bookcases, dragon tables and dragon chairs, all of which are available, and Yingzheng can work here.
The rest are bedrooms, which is convenient for Yingzheng to travel with concubines!
