Chapter 424 The Price of the Ship

The construction of the port in Panyu City in South Vietnam is in full swing, and while developing commerce, Langya City has been almost built.

Originally, there was a port in Langya City, so now the original port will be renovated and expanded, which is simpler than Panyu City.

Moreover, the industry here is more commanding, and at the same time, there is also a shipyard, which is a shipyard built according to Qin An's design.

It is completely different from the previous shipyard and adopts Qin'an's advanced technology.

The ship built by the shipyard is a large treasure ship, which was used by Zheng He in the Ming Dynasty to go to the West.

The shipyard even called in 100,000 workers, all of whom were recruited workers, not servitude by the imperial court.

Moreover, this shipyard is still a joint venture of merchants, and the nobles basically did not participate, of course, the largest shareholder is Qin An, followed by Jiang Lu.

And the shipbuilding is even more functional, with a small water tank, which is used to test model ships.

According to Qin An's meaning, after building the big ship, he found that the ship could not go to the sea, which was really a loss, and the loss would be very large.

If you make a model boat at scale, and then test it in the tank, you will know if the boat can go to sea.

Only after the model ship is successfully launched, the ship can be produced in the production line.

The shipyard ships are very strict, any parts are carefully calculated, and the dimensions are strictly required to design.

Both the keel and the sail are precisely dimensionally designed.

That's not all, the shipyard also has a very mature assembly line, 100,000 people, a total of 30 assembly lines, which is a complete assembly line.

A single assembly line can independently make a treasure ship, of course, not all assembly lines are built treasure ships.

A total of 10 ship types are made in 30 assembly lines, and one assembly line is made for each of the three assembly lines.

There is one type of ship that is different from the others. That's the warship.

According to what Qin An said, whoever controls the ocean controls the whole world, so he must become the overlord of the sea.

Ships are absolutely indispensable.

And the speed at which the waryard built the ships was also very fast, and it would have taken a month to make them, but under Qin An's design, the Mo family and the public loser joined forces to make a large number of tools.

As a result, what was supposed to take a month to build a ship suddenly became fifteen days.

It takes fifteen days to build a ship, but it takes twenty-five days for a treasure ship.

There are now thirty ships floating on the sea.

The shipyard immediately informed the First Emperor Yingzheng of this matter, and the entire Xianyang City also knew about it.

Everyone was figuring out what the imperial court was going to do with the thirty ships.

Today, in the court, the first emperor Yingzheng brought this matter out.

Ying Zheng said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received a report from Langya County that thirty ships have been launched, three of which are warships, and each warship can carry five hundred soldiers.

The other three were supply ships, of which three warships and one supply ship were under the control of the imperial court, and twenty-four merchant ships and two supply ships were to be sold to the Aiqing.

If you are interested, you can go to the right minister Feng to bid there.

Feng Quji, let's talk about the auction."

"No." Feng Qu replied.

Then he walked to the middle, faced the hundred officials, cleared his throat, and said, "Everyone, needless to say, everyone should be able to think of this auction mode, this is the emperor came up with it.

The auction model is very simple, that is, the highest bidder wins.

Today, I will inform you of the reserve price of the ship, the cost of the largest treasure ship will be 500,000 taels, and there will be labor costs, maintenance costs, etc., which will cost 550,000 taels.

The largest treasure ship can carry nearly 1,000 people and transport goods up to more than 2 million catties, and the emperor said that it is not impossible to transport 3 million catties.

This will cause a little more loss to the ship, so two million catties is the best choice.

Then there are medium-sized treasure ships, which can hold one million catties of cargo, and small treasure ships that can hold five hundred thousand catties.

The reserve price of a large treasure ship is 550,000 taels, and each bid price cannot be less than 5,000 taels, a total of three.

Medium-sized treasure ship, 350,000 taels. Each shout cannot be less than five thousand taels. There are only three of them.

A small treasure ship, worth 200,000 taels. Each shouting price shall not be less than 5,000 taels.

In addition to these five ship types. There are five other types of ships, the frigate, which is the same as the warships of the Imperial Court, but it is much smaller and is used to escort the goods you are transporting.

This is Your Majesty's grace to you, and only my colleagues here have such an opportunity.

His Majesty will sell the next batch of ships to the merchants, and everyone will go to the bidding with the merchants. In addition, the frigate will not be sold to the merchants.

The other four are fishing boats. In addition to large, medium and small fishing boats, there are also oversized fishing boats.

The oversized fishing boat is the responsibility of the general Lu Gongzi himself."

For merchant ships, frigates, warships and other ministers can understand, but for fishing boats, they are very puzzled, how much profit can this fishing boat bring to everyone?

"Right Phase." Fu Zikang asked, "Why do you want to build fishing boats? Shall we go fishing? How much can this fish sell for?"

Jiang Lu smiled at this time, "It seems that Master Fu has not seen the emperor's latest seafood recipe.

There are various seafood preparation methods inside, and the ingredients are specially treated to keep it from going bad for several years.

The emperor said that there are many fish in the sea, which can be salted into salted fish, and the longer it is preserved, the more delicious it tastes.

Think about it, after the people know that there is this kind of fish, will they buy it?

This is still the most common fish in the sea, and there are all kinds of seafood, and as long as it is brought back, it will definitely be loved by everyone.

Especially in the cities near the port and along the coast, they are very fond of seafood.

It won't be long before seafood restaurants will appear in various places in Daqin, and in the future, seafood will be accepted by people all over the world."

Feng nodded and said, "Gongzi Lu is right, seafood will be very popular in the future, although a boatload of seafood will not make you earn 100,000 taels. But one or two thousand taels is no problem.

If you are lucky, you will be able to return in ten days and a half months and earn more than 100,000 yuan.

It depends on what seafood you catch in the boat.

And there is another treasure in the sea, called Long Yanxiang, one of the most precious spices in the world.

The price of this fishing boat is 300,000, 200,000 and 100,000 respectively. Buying and selling freedom, Your Majesty and I will not force everyone.

Moreover, this is the internal price, and if you want to buy a fishing boat in the future, the merchant ship will have to pay a little more.

Langya Shipyard, the first royal shipyard in Daqin, is a royal shipyard, with shares of the emperor and the royal family in the middle, as well as the shares of some merchants.

Therefore, His Majesty decided to give preferential treatment to the officials of the imperial court first.

After I retire from the court, I will organize an auction, and everyone who is interested will come and participate."
