Chapter 763 The Best Advertisement
Aragorn was shocked when he heard the words, he didn't expect that the Daming man who was about his age in front of him could see his purpose at a glance.
The astonishment in Aragorn's eyes flashed, and then he began to make gestures with Zhuge Tieniu again.
"My lord, he said that he didn't understand what you meant, and he wanted to learn Daming language." Zhuge Tieniu said.
"I think you two hit it off quite well, so you will be responsible for teaching them Ming language. You have worked hard these days, so you can take a good rest." Liu Hongjian said casually.
He has tasted the hardships of ocean voyages, but unlike his trip to Sulu, the voyage to Merika is longer. These people need time to adapt, and more importantly, they need a variety of food to nourish their bodies.
As for the few Indians, Liu Hongjian hadn't thought too much about it. He didn't have too much money, and he knew better than anyone else that there were abundant resources in the north and south of Merika.
But now Daming doesn't have the energy to go to Melika to toss, and the Dutchmen in Nanyang haven't done it yet.
It's just a long line to catch big fish. Since Aragorn is the tribal chief over there, he must be familiar with the situation there. He asked Zhuge Tieniu to be his guide because he wanted to learn more about the real situation there.
Aragorn was hesitant to speak when he heard the words, he was silent for a moment and finally saluted and followed Zhuge Tieniu out.
"My lord, I think there is something wrong with that foreigner named Aragorn." The British Duke Zhang Weixian frowned.
"Well, there is indeed something wrong, a little too calm.
Later, send a few more people to pay attention, and see what this guy is going to do in Daming. "Liu Hongjian said again.
"Yes, my lord, what do you plan to do with the latex?" Zhang Weixian pointed to the remaining ships.
"These are all treasures. Take them to our Shanghe headquarters first. Later, I will hand over the refining method to you. I need to pick a few trustworthy craftsmen to do it."
There were neither too many nor too few raw materials for the large ships, and Liu Hongjian's first thought was tires. Whether it was carriage tires or bicycles, there was no need to worry about the market for these things.
After the tires are finished, you only need to replace Xiaozhu's imperial chariot first, and then take him out for a walk in the capital, which is the best advertisement.
"Oh, by the way, my lord, since we have brought back so many seeds, they will be widely planted tomorrow. Do we need to say hello to the emperor?"
Now that Daming has completed the land reform, planting rubber trees will definitely not occupy the farmland of the common people, and the biggest landlord in Daming is Zhu Cihong. Although this guy returned most of the land in Huangzhuang to the common people, he still kept a little plot of land for himself.
There are probably more than 1 hectares!
This is the least among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there have been more than this number of princes randomly drawn out.
What Zhang Weixian meant was that since the Xishan Merchant Co., Ltd. had the emperor's shares, it still held the majority. Considering the relationship between Liu Hongjian and Zhu Cihong, it was not a big problem.
"Hehe, Lao Zhang, it seems that you should study more! This rubber tree cannot be planted in the north." Liu Hongjian laughed when he heard this.
Rubber trees are tropical plants, and they can survive in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Qiongzhou, Taiwan and other places in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Hongjian still knows this.
"Send a message to Lao Mu later, asking him to quickly raise thousands of hectares of fertile land, whether it is land reclamation or renting land, remember, it is not allowed to seize the land of the common people.
You can pay the local people directly according to the harvest, but you have to sign a contract, and the lease period is temporarily limited to ten years. If you don't agree to rent, don't force it. "Liu Hongjian thought for a while and said.
The land is still the land of the people, but the food crops are replaced by trees, and the money is paid according to the average local harvest, and then these people are allowed to take care of the rubber saplings and take care of the late rubber tapping. It is not a big problem.
After all, it doesn't matter what you plant, and you don't have to take risks.
"My lord, isn't ten years a little short?" Zhang Wei thought for a while and said.
"A lot. In ten years' time, Daming will have no shortage of rubber." Liu Hongjian waved his hands.
If he can't win Merriga in ten years, it will really embarrass his time-traveling identity. Merriga is the origin of rubber trees, and if he owns it, he will have a continuous supply of rubber.
"But my lord, it will take at least six years for the rubber tree to be tapped from planting."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Liu Hongjian raised his eyebrows.
He's not a botanist, so he didn't know that it took so long for a rubber tree to mature. It's just that six years is too long, and the day lilies are all cold.
"Why are we lying to you? This land has to be good, otherwise there may not be any production in eight years!"
Zhang Weixian said in his heart that he should let us study more. Your lord, you are also half-baked, even though the rubber tree is in its mature stage, he just heard the group of sailors say it.
"Just sign for ten years, that's enough." Liu Hongjian said in silence.
Southerners have always been more active in their minds. As long as they can see that rubber trees can make money, and it can make more money than farming, why do they need to find people to breed?
Perhaps after a few years, the imperial court will have to issue an edict to prohibit the conversion of farmland to rubber trees. After all, no matter how much this thing can be sold, it must first grow enough food.
After discussing the matter of the rubber tree, it was completely dark, and seeing that they could not go back to the capital at night, the two stayed in Tianjin for one night.
The next day the two went to Tianjin Treasure Shipyard together, Mo Huan and others led the crowd to welcome them.
The treasure shipyard is in full swing, and countless craftsmen in several huge docks are working up and down, stepping up to build warships for the newly approved Nanyang Navy.
Mo Huan was undoubtedly the busiest person in the entire Treasure Shipyard, he only accompanied Liu Hongjian around the Treasure Shipyard, and four or five groups of people came to ask for instructions.
"Old Mo, there is a big problem with our ironclad ship!" Liu Hongjian said bluntly after returning to his residence in Bao Shipyard.
Today's ironclad warships in Ming Dynasty look glamorous on the surface. Although their defense power has increased, they still cannot withstand the repeated bombardment of solid shells for a long time.
During the two naval battles in Sulu, more than half of the battleships lost their steel armor. It is undeniable to say that such craftsmanship cannot be called an iron-clad ship, at most it is called an iron-clad ship, after all, the hull is still made of wood.
"The lower official also received the letter from Deputy Admiral Qi. I'm really ashamed. The lower official hasn't come up with a good solution for this issue yet." Mo Huan said apologetically.
No wonder, at this time, not only was there no electric welding, but even the riveting technology was immature, and it was extremely rare to cover it with a small piece of steel armor.
"Mr. Mo, have you ever thought about abandoning wood and directly building the hull of a battleship with steel?" Liu Hongjian asked ingeniously after taking a sip of tea.
"Going back to my lord, how could I not have thought about it, but there are many problems that cannot be solved for now!" Mo Huan sighed.
At this time, there were no machine tools, and the craftsmen basically produced iron tools by pouring soil molds. This kind of technology produced some small objects, and ships were often several feet, or even tens of feet. Where can I get such a large mold?
And the operating coefficient is too high.

Thanks for the 200 liang rewarded by the book friend who lit up the lamp and looked at the ax while drunk, did Uncle Han shake his hands?
