"Details!"

Chuemon's **** is where he is now, so I'm afraid he won't be able to hear the feedback below. Once the following voices are not heard, the situation will quickly become uncontrollable, and even become a more reactionary reactionary regime.

"If there is only one shipyard in Yokohama Shipyard..." Shigeru Nara is a person of the level who can directly meet Chuemon.

But it has to be said that after Chuemon became a general, even if he sat in front of Chuemon, I am afraid that he would not have time to say a lot, and he would not be able to say it.

Let's put aside what the actual historical situation is. In the movie "1942", Li Peiji met Chang Gong and tried to report the disaster situation at the local level. There were only two people present, eating breakfast together. Chang Gong even had time to peel eggs for Li Peiji, but Li Peiji just didn't say a word.

In the end, he just said something nonsense about something that can be overcome, just from the performance of the movie, is it that he doesn't want to say it? what he wanted to say!

But there are so many major events in the country, such as wars in one group, summits in a few moments, and even Gandhi's hunger strike for a few days. Internationally, he suffered a severe drought compared to other places, which attracted Chang Gong's attention.

What did you teach him to say? Can't tell at all!

The same is true for Shigeru Nara. Even if he comes to visit Chuemon, can he say a few words? Chungemon's day-to-day management is full of opportunities, and all kinds of affairs are in a thousand threads. Before the two of them could talk a few words, someone came over to report the state affairs. A group of Britain started a war with the Qing, and soon France attacked Saigon in Annan...

I only have one boat, tens of thousands of pounds, and I feel like I can't make it to the top.

Now it's rare for Chuemon to be empty, and with such a real alone time, Shigeru Nara can finally talk about it.

What he means is that Chuemon should have thought about it before, that is, the main purpose of the Yokohama Shipyard itself is to build new warships for the shogunate, and more than 20 shallow-water heavy gunboats are his masterpieces. Now Yokohama Shipyard is doing its best to tackle the problem, trying to independently build a thousand-ton domestic warship.

Under the burden of important national tasks, the most powerful technicians and most skilled boatmen in the entire shipyard are in the construction of warships. There is only a tiny fraction of the energy left for civilian ships.

Moreover, the main reason for the shipyard to build civilian ships is because Tokugawa Yusen is an industry of Chuemon. I am afraid that it will not be able to be wiped off. It has to occasionally build a merchant ship to perfunctory Tokugawa Yusen Communications Co., Ltd.’s ship needs.

Who called the whole Japan, just such a modern industrialized shipyard!

This is also the key reason why Tokugawa has basically monopolized domestic shipping, and it is still competing with foreign merchants on the East Asian route, but it has almost no profits.

All the money I made was used to buy foreign ships. If you want to occupy the market and open up routes, you need ships. However, the officials of the shogunate built the shipyard to send a boat over three days or two days, just to sell two money to give some subsidies to the workers of the shipyard.

On the contrary, in Hong Kong, in Singapore, in the foreign shipyards in the Spice Islands, because of the orders of the Tokugawa Yusen, the shipbuilding continued to be carried out and made great profits. Even by colluding with each other and asking for money. What can I do with the Tokugawa Line without a ship? You can only buy foreign ships at high prices.

Previously, the shogunate eliminated the paddle ships and dismantled the weapons and sent them to the Tokugawa Yusen as a merchant ship. Shigeru Nara was so happy. All of a sudden, there are several more merchant ships of thousands of tons, and you can ask for less and do not know how many foreigners.

You are the imperial merchant and comprador of Shigeru Nara, willing to ask foreigners every day?

Today, Tokugawa Industrial has made a lot of profits, and the Tokugawa Railway has achieved a balance of payments because it is mainly for the placement of Qiben 80,000 riders. The Tokugawa cruise ship, which obviously did not accept many samurai, can only maintain normal operation so far. This is the problem.

According to Shigeru Nara's idea, not only should the Kobe Shipyard be sold to the Sumitomo family, it is better to build three to five more shipyards. Usually, civilian ships are built, and in the future, it may be able to supplement the shortage of military ships at Yokohama Shipyard.

The trade volume of the entire East Asia is now in a state of blowout. All East Asia is looking for ships. As long as they are built, there is no need to worry about no buyers.

And Shigeru Nara also has a very, very confidential news. It is said that the Qing court is trying to use one million taels of silver to buy a modern Western-style fleet from various countries. It was used to defend the Bohai Bay, and along the Shuojiang River along the Yangtze River to suppress the Taiping Rebellion.

It was only because the war with Britain and France started again, and the Qing Dynasty itself could not manufacture modern steamships, this matter was shelved.

If Kobe Shipyard can get this order, it will be able to start construction immediately, and then grow and develop. After this batch of ships has been recognized and loved by the Qing Dynasty, perhaps only the orders from the Qing Dynasty will be able to make the Japanese shipyards exhausted.

Shigeru Nara did not know, but Chuemon knew that the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau, the earliest modern shipbuilding enterprise in the Qing Dynasty, had to delay construction until 1867. We will have to wait until after 1870 for ships to start launching. At least at least, the shogunate has ten years to sell various types of ships to the Qing.

It can also allow Japanese shipyards to practice their skills and get orders to make money. Why didn’t the shogunate launch more shipyards?

Even if the Qing Dynasty did not want to buy a ship, the Tokugawa cruise ship also needed to buy a ship. Without hundreds of steamships, how can you monopolize domestic shipping in Japan? A merchant ship of 1,000 tons is only 100,000 tons per 100. In the 21st century, a merchant ship of 100,000 tons may only be able to carry a single ship, but now it is a large ship.

The shipping volume is insufficient, and it can only be supplemented by building more ships. What Shigeru Nara wanted to say before, the shogunate should open two more shipyards. But I haven't found an opportunity, and now I finally speak out about this matter.

In Japan, only the shogunate has enough talent reserves to build new shipyards. The Kobe Shipyard that Sumitomo Yoshi liked was because it was equipped with a French technical school, so it could start construction immediately.

For Chuemon to help Hagi Domain to build a shipyard, the Yokohama Shipyard had to be dispatched. Otherwise, Hagi Domain alone would not be able to build a complete modern shipyard.

If you just want money, Nara Shigeru can immediately give out one million pounds, but excellent technicians and skilled shipbuilders, Nara Shigeru can't buy it.

Right now, I don't want to fight for Kobe Shipyard, but I am willing to pay for the assistance of the shogunate to equip Tokugawa Yusen Communications Co., Ltd. with a large shipyard, which is under the name of our Naraya.
