"Outside the number, the Ming Empire fleet surprises Hampton!"

"The Great White Fleet of the United States is in ruins!"

……

Even though it was far away across the ocean, when the news of the Ming Empire's unprecedented victory came, the Huaxia side was elated.

Without him, both Ming and Tang belonged to China.We are all a family connected by blood.

Daming's victory is China's victory!

It is only natural to celebrate and cheer for it.Even in large and medium-sized cities such as the capital and Jinling that day, millions of people spontaneously held lantern parades to celebrate the unprecedented victory of the Ming Dynasty.

Hundreds of millions of Chinese people are all honored by the victories after the outbreak of this war, and the joy is even more indescribable. After all... the one who was beaten was a foreign devil.

Foreign devils, how much anger are given to us Chinese people!

The emotions of the people are sincere and simple. When the outside world is discussing and cheering for it, the merchants are also celebrating. They are not only celebrating the victory of the empire, but also celebrating the new opportunity.

Regarding this point, Li Jingye, who is the owner of Xingye Shipyard, can be said to be very clear.

On the way to the shipyard, you will pass the palace. The so-called palace is the mansion of the palace in the old days. When Li Jingye was in the shipyard, he could always see the bright yellow guard of honor in front of the magnificent palace. There are as many as three to four hundred people.

What is the most in the kingdom of heaven?
Of course there are many princes.

There are many princes in the kingdom of heaven, there are many rules, and there are many platoons.When he first came back from Daming, he had heard a joke - in Tianjing City, even if you buy vegetables, you can meet a prince who travels with a guard of honor.

How many princes are there in the kingdom of heaven?
If there is no one thousand, there must be eight hundred!

There are hundreds of people in Tianjing city, and hundreds of people in other places, so that every bigger city has a palace,
Every time he sees the ostentation of the prince when he travels, Li Jingye can't help thinking about the future of the kingdom of heaven in his heart.

What are these ostentations?
It's people's fat and people's ointment!
But who can change these?

In the kingdom of heaven, even the poorest prince will have guards to clear the way when he goes out. What they want is that dignity, and what they want is that ostentation.

How much money does it cost to raise so many princes a year?

There are many corrupt officials in the Tang Dynasty, what about the kingdom of heaven?There are many princes.

The two can be said to be evenly divided, but... In the end, Datang won.In fact, all this is doomed.

There is money to build the palace and put up ceremonies, but there is no money to send people to study abroad. This is the kingdom of heaven...

There is really no hope!
The reason why Li Jingye, who returned from studying abroad, felt such emotion was because when he went to study abroad, there were 200 foreign students sent by the Tianguo to Daming School, and when the country was about to perish ten years ago, there were still 200 students. Every time someone wrote a letter Ask the court to send more people to study in Daming.

All the ministers in the court said one thing - no money.

How much does it cost to study abroad in Daming?
A boat ticket, plus the monthly living expenses are sufficient, and the annual expenditure is only 10 taels...that's just two words-no money.

The kingdom of heaven has its own national conditions.

But what really made Li Jingye feel cold?
After he and many of his friends returned to the country, not only were they not reused, but those who were in charge of the factory army were always the cronies of the princes, even the shipyards.

In the end, the Kingdom of Heaven is lost.

When the kingdom of heaven fell, where did those princes who enjoyed all the glory and wealth go?

He went to Daming with the gold and silver he searched, and continued to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world.

Now, it is ten years in a flash.

But everything seems to have just happened.

"Ten years, a blink of an eye, really fast..."

When the car drove into the shipyard, Li Jingye once again lamented the passing of time. Looking at Nuo Da’s shipyard, he didn’t even know whether he should thank the kingdom of heaven. If there was no destruction of the kingdom of heaven, how could this shipyard belong to him? all?
How could he become Datang's largest private ship dealer.

As soon as the car stopped here, Li Shun, the deputy manager who had been waiting in front of the office building for a while, greeted him, stopped the car door and said without waiting for him to get out of the car.

"Chairman, there was a call from the United Chamber of Commerce just now."

"United Chamber of Commerce?"

The United Chamber of Commerce used to be the "Daming Chamber of Commerce". However, in the past few years, they have downplayed the "Daming" and changed their name to the "Chinese Merchants United Chamber of Commerce". To join, Li Jingye is also a member of the chamber of commerce.

"Who's calling?"

"It's Secretary Chen, President Zuo's secretary. He said that President Zuo wants to see you."

"Oh!"

With a thump in his heart, Li Jingye asked calmly.

"When?"

"Right now, Chairman Zuo is at the Huaxia Hotel."

Hearing this, Li Jingye felt ominous in his heart, but he didn't speak, just nodded, and after sitting back in the car, he said to the driver.

"Go to Huaxia Hotel."

"Chairman, let's..."

Looking at the nervous Li Shun, Li Jingye said.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After finishing speaking, he signaled the driver to drive. On the surface, he seemed calm and composed, and kept tapping his fingers on his knees, as if he was thinking about something.

"It's not easy..."

After a long time, Li Jingye, who had half-closed his eyes, spat out such a sentence.

What does war mean to businessmen?
Of course it's a business opportunity!

When the situation in European countries was tense, Britain, France and Deloitte mobilized one after another, and the world situation changed rapidly. When the war broke out, Li Jingye's Xingye Shipyard became the beneficiary of the war. One month ago, he received an order from a Hong Kong foreign company. Twenty freighters with a net tonnage of [-] tons got this big deal at once, and Li Jingye could even wake up from his dreams with a smile.

Twenty ships, a total of 12 tons!
The cost of one cargo ship is 36 yuan, but twelve ships cost 430 yuan!
With such a huge number in front of anyone's eyes, it is impossible to dream without laughing out loud.The real cost of such a transport ship is only about [-] yuan, which has already included all expenses such as steel costs and workers' wages.

The remaining profit is also very considerable, as long as Li Jingye thinks of the profit he can get from twelve ships, Li Jingye can't help grinning.

The first payment for the order was remitted on the day the contract was signed. After getting the money, apart from purchasing steel and other raw materials, Li Jingye’s first thought was to immediately expand the size of the shipyard—since there was a war, the shipyard It's sure to sell well.

Twelve ships are just the beginning. Besides, the contract time is very tight, and it will definitely not work if there are not enough manpower. This requires recruiting more workers, expanding the shipyard from 4000 to more than 8000 people, and increasing wages for old workers. , not just to let the old workers work hard for the sake of money and speed up shipbuilding.

Another reason is that in order to prevent old workers from quitting, as we all know, after the outbreak of war, the demand for transport ships in various countries must surge. If the shipyards in the country cannot meet the demand, they will definitely order from foreign countries.

The ongoing Datang is definitely the best choice for all countries, um... His shipyard has also received four orders from France.

In order to prevent other shipyards from poaching their own people, increasing wages is the best choice...

However, I haven't been happy here for a few days. The sudden invitation made Li Jingye feel inexplicably uneasy. What is the cause of this uneasiness?
It's because of this kind of guilty conscience of making money in war!
