Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 378

There are indeed many wonderful ideas in Taichang.

The cruise ship may still be just a distant dream, but many of the things he thinks up next are about to become reality.

Because the next thing everyone discussed was how to make money by fishing.

It seems a bit redundant to discuss this question, can fishing still make money?
As long as the fishing boat can go out to sea and come near this current, even fishing hundreds or thousands of catties a day is not a problem!

According to the current price of perch, you can earn dozens of taels of silver for hundreds of thousands of catties.

Isn't it called making money if you can earn dozens of taels of silver in one day?
What else is there to discuss?

If it is for an individual, earning dozens of taels of silver a day is naturally making money, and it is still making a lot of money.

You must know that one tael of silver is equivalent to five or six hundred yuan, and tens of taels of silver is tens of thousands!
Isn't it called making money if you earn tens of thousands a day?
To be honest, for a huge colonial institution like the Daming Western Company, it is a joke to earn dozens of taels of silver a day!
Just kidding, earning dozens of taels of silver a day can be called making money?
What the Ming Dynasty Western Firms are doing is big transnational business. If they don’t earn a few thousand taels a day, it’s not called making money.

Of course, judging from the situation they have investigated, it seems that it is not a big problem to earn a few thousand taels a day by fishing.

In the meeting hall on the top floor of the Aegis ship, Zheng Zhilong said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we can install a big wheel on the ship, and then tie a rope hundreds of feet or even hundreds of battles long to the wheel as a fishing line, and then tie a rope on it. Hundreds or even hundreds of hooks, in this way, hundreds of catties or even hundreds of catties of fish can be caught with one hook. This one is ten taels or even tens of taels, and one hundred is thousands of taels or even thousands of taels what!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words.

This money seems to be too easy to earn!

Moreover, the investment is not large, just a wheel, a rope and a little hook.

Of course, you also need a boat.

Xu Erjue couldn't help reminding: "Feihong, you need a boat for fishing. We don't have a boat right now."

But Zheng Zhilong said without hesitation: "We can rent a boat, we only need to rent a Spike warship, because it is no problem for a Spike warship to carry a fish of hundreds of thousands of catties, and tens of thousands of catties of perch is enough. It’s worth several thousand taels of silver! And it’s no problem for the Spike to come here, if you set off from the port on the nearby island, you can get here in less than half an hour, and you can run back quickly in case of a storm.”

Uh, this doesn't seem to be a problem.

Of course they can rent a Spike warship, not to mention one, ten are not a problem.

You know, they are transporting timber back from Japan at the moment, and they are using ships from the Dongyang Navy and Nanyang Navy to transport goods from Daming.

It is definitely not possible for others to rent warships or even warships, and it is definitely not a problem for them to rent them, because everyone is doing things for the Ming court.

It's just that the Dongyang Navy and the Nanyang Navy are fighting for Ming Dynasty, while the Western Firms are making money for Daming.

Everyone is for Daming, so there is no problem in leasing a few Spike warships.

Moreover, renting a few Spike warships has no effect on the combat power of the Dongyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy.

When Xu Erjue heard this, he couldn't help but excitedly said: "We can directly rent ten Spike warships, assemble ten big wheels, prepare ten long ropes and thousands of hooks, in this way, we can earn tens of thousands of taels a day. It's not a problem!"

Well, the problem still exists.

These tens of thousands of taels are just gross income, and this gross income may not be received.

Yuan Keli couldn't help reminding: "Have you ever thought about how to sell the fish? This fish probably won't live for a few days in the water. If it can't be sold in a few days, it will become a dead fish and a smelly fish. And this live fish Storage and transportation are very troublesome, and if you don’t sell it nearby, you may lose money.”

Xu Yunzhen's younger brother Xu Yunchu said without hesitation: "We can take it back to Nanzhili to sell. Anyway, it only takes two days for the Spike warship to return to Nanzhili. We only need to open a few large piers along the Yangtze River and along the canal. It shouldn’t be a problem for a shop to sell hundreds of thousands of catties a day.”

Well, this seems to work.

A business that earns tens of thousands of taels a day or a business with a gross income of tens of thousands of taels a day is a big business!

Is this business ready to start?

Everyone couldn't help looking at Taichang.

This means that he probably wants to invite the emperor to make a decision.

Look at your prospects!
Taichang said disdainfully: "With hundreds of thousands of catties of fish a day, you have the nerve to do such a small business? Think about it, how much is left after excluding costs and expenses?"

Tens of thousands of catties of fish a day is really nothing, because he still has a little impression that the fishery of a country is calculated by millions of tons, and it is several million tons a year!

One ton is two thousand catties, and several million tons are billions or even tens of billions of catties!

Moreover, the Daming Western Company does not only do business in one country, nor does it only catch fish in one place.

Once Daming wins the East Ocean and defeats the Netherlands, then the entire coast of Daming, as well as all the seas of the East Ocean, the North Ocean, and the South Ocean will be caught at will!
Calculated in this way, tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of catties of fish are waiting for them to catch a year!
If you catch hundreds of thousands of catties of fish a day, that's nothing!
Naturally, everyone does not have his knowledge.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of catties a day and hundreds of millions of catties a year! Isn't that enough?"

Hundreds of millions of catties are nothing!
Taichang said lightly: "You only count perch, is there only perch in the sea? Perch can catch hundreds of millions of catties a year, what about other fish? Besides, can you guarantee that every time you catch perch? ? Could it be that you caught other fish and you threw them away?"

Uh, this.

Of course, there's more than just bass in the sea.

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help asking cautiously: "Your Majesty, how much do you think we should catch in a day?"

Taichang still said calmly: "This is not a question of how much we catch in a day, but a question of how many fish are in the sea. How many fish do you think there are in the sea?"

Who can tell?
Zheng Zhilong looked at the endless sea outside, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't know how many seas I have traveled in these years, this ocean is really too big, it is unimaginable, and there are probably too many fish in this sea. "

Taichang nodded slightly and said: "Yes, there are so many fish in the sea that we can't even imagine. It can be said that there are so many fish in the sea that you can't catch them all. What can you call fishing if you catch hundreds of thousands of catties a day? "

Uh, catching hundreds of thousands of catties a day is not called fishing, is it?

This seems to be back to square one.

How much fish is suitable for catching?

Your Majesty, you haven't said anything yet!

Xu Erjue couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, how many fish do you think we should catch in a day?"

Taichang thought for a while, and then slowly said: "This is actually not my decision, you have to calculate how many fish you can sell in a day. You can't just count Nanzhili, you can't just count Daming, you can't even just count Dongying, North Korea and other places. You have to look a little farther and put it on the Kunyu Wanguo map. The Ming Dynasty Western Firm is not only doing business in Ming Dynasty, but also not only doing business in Dongying."

Well, catch as much as you can sell, that's the way to go.

The question is, if the Daming Western Company sells fish all over the world, how much can it sell?
This counts time-consuming.

Also, there are not only fish in the sea!

If the Daming Western Company really wants to open a seafood store, it seems a bit wasteful to just sell fish.

It's like a daily necessities store opened by a Daming Western firm. Wouldn't it be a waste to sell only bowls or cups?
Xu Yunchu couldn't help asking again: "Your Majesty, it seems that there are not only fish in the sea, can we sell something else?"

Yup!

Taichang nodded repeatedly and said: "You have hit the point, there are not only fish in the sea, the resources in this ocean can be said to be terrifyingly abundant, and there is only one kind of fish, there are also shrimps, crabs, etc. .You not only need to look farther, but also broaden your horizons, think about how terrifying the resources in this ocean are, are we wasting resources by only selling fish?"

The resources in the ocean are indeed terrifying.

In fact, the most fish in the sea are not fish, the number of shrimp and crabs in the sea is scary.

Moreover, there are not only fish, shrimp and crabs in the sea, but also sea shells, conch, sea cucumbers, asparagus, seaweed, kelp and so on.

Zheng Zhilong thought of the seafood he had seen over the years, and his eyes could not help showing eagerness.

This is really a fortune!

If all these resources are counted, how much money can you earn in a year?

This seems to be a bit unclear!
