Chapter 405 Sensation, Next
"Why slow down? We're going home now!" Soldiers, businessmen, sailors, and even many naval officers who had been drifting at sea for two months were dissatisfied.
That's right, it's already at the door of the house, and it's even slowing down! This is really unreasonable. No, it is too unreasonable!
Almost as soon as the order was issued, voices of opposition came. Especially the soldiers in charge of the ship's power, the voice of opposition is the loudest!
Now the speed of the ship is about 60 kilometers per hour, and if it is reduced to 40 kilometers, the speed will be reduced by one-third.
"Quiet me!" Hao Youcai was furious, but finally explained: "You say, you have sailed for two months and opened up new routes and new markets, are you considered heroes?"
"Yes! We are heroes!" The soldiers answered in unison.
"Since you are heroes, do you want to be the center of attention? Do you want to return to Anyang amidst the girls' cheers?"
"Yes!" The answer is obvious!
"Very good! Since you want to, then slow down for me now. If we maintain the current speed, we will return to Anyang in the dark night. Are you willing to return to Anyang at this time? You want to return to Anyang in the dark night Is it Anyang?"
Well, no one answered this time. But the speed of the ship slowed down quickly-no need to order and urge.
"These bastards!" Hao Youcai straightened his collar, and finally shouted again: "Now we are about 700 kilometers away from Anyang Port, and there are less than 17 hours before sunrise tomorrow.
Those responsible for the power of the ship, listen to me. Tomorrow morning, at sunrise, we will sprint at full speed and appear at the civilian port of Anyang together with the rising sun jumping out of the sea.
At that time, the virtuous king will lead the people of Anyang to greet him in person.
If you dare to miscalculate the time, switch to the army in the future! "
The soldiers who were still losing their temper just now scattered away, and the soldiers in the power group got busy with unprecedented professionalism. The data was calculated over and over again, the time was also checked over and over again, the distance from Anyang port, etc. It is also contacted by the aircraft and constantly corrected.
The two planes that went to the land to inform have also returned—to be personally greeted by King Xian tomorrow morning, such an opportunity should not be missed! Therefore, after the two pilots completed the notified mission, they hurried back to the warship.
This is true for soldiers, and even more so for those caravan sailors, all of them are so excited that they wish they could become monkeys.
…………
At the same time, the news of the safe, successful and successful return of the fleet made Li Xian very excited.
"Okay, that's great!" Li Xian walked around happily.
"Okay, okay, don't turn around, everyone is waiting for you to talk." Xia Qingqing held Li Xian who was excited and somewhat confused.
People around also looked at Li Xian, wondering why Li Xian was so excited. In everyone's understanding, it's just an ocean voyage, and this ocean voyage is really not far away-is it a long way to go back and forth for 160,000 miles?
Don't forget, this is the Immortal Territory. If a Nascent Soul stage master is on his way, 160,000 is five or six days, up to seven days.
Not to mention that this so-called ocean voyage did not leave Yingzhou at all, nor did it even leave the east of Yingzhou! There is really nothing to be particularly happy about!
Even Xu Ren, who knew Li Xian best, felt a little incomprehensible at this time, thinking that Li Xian was a little too excited. In contrast, Xu Ren and others even felt that the launch of rockets and the appearance of supersonic aircraft were more "surprises" than this.
Li Xian didn't stop immediately, but spun around several times before he digested the huge surprise. "Do you know, do you know the meaning of this ocean voyage?"
Xu Ren, Yan Ze'an, Li Yuanming and many officials looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Li Xian was so excited, the excitement was a little beyond imagination, which made everyone not know how to speak.
Fortunately, Li Xian, who was excited, didn't pay attention to these things. After asking, seeing no one answered, he explained it himself.
“This voyage is significant, it means so much.
First of all, this is an example, an absolute example! And as long as this example is set here, the merchants in Anyang will scramble to invest in the sea, ocean transportation, and ocean commerce.
Did you know that the actual profit of this hasty transaction exceeded 100 million taels of gold! Two months, nine boats, less than a thousand people, a profit of 100 million taels of gold!
If you want to make a profit of 100 million taels of gold on land, it is definitely an arduous task; the total financial revenue of the entire Jin Kingdom last year was less than 60 million taels of gold, excluding various expenses, plus compensation for us, plus For infrastructure construction in all aspects of the state of Jin, the state of Jin also took out 30 million taels of gold from the treasury!
One hundred million taels of gold is enough to support the annual expenses of an empire with a territory of five thousand miles! But now, it's just a harvest from one transaction!
If Anyang organizes 10 such caravans to operate throughout the year, we may make a profit of more than 5 billion.
The transfer of luck brought by 5 billion taels of gold is enough to train several masters in the transformation stage for Anyang.
The last time I restored the cultivation level of the shadow to the god stage, I used up the luck accumulated by the Adventure and Mercenary Association, which was equivalent to about 250 million taels of gold. If we were to train a new master at the transformation stage, the consumption would be doubled, but 5 billion taels of gold is enough to train us..."
"Ahem...Young Master, you take it for granted!" After the key point, Xu Ren dared to pour cold water on him, "Such a lucrative transaction will not last long, and we haven't even developed transactions on the nearby coast.
What's more, if you want to develop the ocean transportation industry, you may have to support the expansion of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. I'm afraid this matter is not so easy. "
"Uh...uh..." Li Xian rolled his eyes fiercely. "Alright then, let's move on to the second point.
The number of ocean transactions is huge. The profitability of one ship and one transaction is enough to be as busy as several caravans throughout the year. For Anyang now, vigorously developing ocean transportation business will allow us to develop faster.
We don’t lack aura now, and those with more liquid aura can take a bath; as long as we increase transactions and increase gold, we can gather more luck; The question of comprehension can train more top masters in the shortest time!
Then, it becomes a virtuous cycle.
And the third point is to get rid of the restrictions around you. Our rapid development has already made surrounding countries vigilant. In order not to be controlled by others, going out is an inevitable choice.
In addition, the most important thing is that the development of industry and commerce must ensure a posture of expansion. Once the expansion stops, we will encounter various problems; sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat. Such rules are completely suitable for the development of industry and commerce. .
Expansion has resources and a market, which can support Anyang's current development needs.
Today's Anyang has become a giant gold-swallowing beast. Once this giant beast cannot be fed, it will be the beginning of a disaster; for this reason, we must use all means to feed and even raise this giant beast, so that we can drive this giant beast. The beast went on a rampage. "
"What kind of giant beast is this?" Xu Ren asked.
To be honest, Xu Ren and others were very curious about why Li Xian knew these things, but no one asked. Anyway, it looks pretty good. But right now, after Li Xian mentioned the side effects of industry and commerce, Xu Ren still couldn't help asking.
Li Xian looked out the window, looked at the already prosperous Anyang City, and took a slow, deep breath, "This monster has a name, and its name is - Capital!
In the past four years, I have cultivated this monster; and after this comprehension conference, I have completely released this monster!
Now, we need to find a pasture for this monster!
The first pasture is the coastal countries! "
Having said that, Li Xian turned his head to look at the big clock next to him, it was already after one o'clock in the afternoon.
"Song Xing, go, urgently print newspapers, print at least five million copies before sunset today; and deliver all newspapers before midnight today.
If Anyang Daily is short of manpower, then recruit other newspapers.
At dawn tomorrow, the people of Anyang will welcome the heroes of ocean exploration together! I want Anyang to remember the glory of this moment forever! "
"Yes!" Song Xing never discounted Li Xian's orders.
In fact, Song Xing is a smart person. He may not have much political wisdom, but he has the most transparent mind to be a 'secretary'. As the head of the Propaganda Department, Song Xing knew very well what kind of organization Li Xian needed to set up the Propaganda Department—what he needed was a tongue, but only a tongue, an external tongue; unnecessary!
And Song Xing's action ability is also very strong. This time, the urgent newspaper was completed before sunset. Anyang Daily, Anyang Business Daily and all other newspaper offices were mobilized by Song Xing, and everyone printed only two pages, which was very concise.
Because of the simplification, before sunset, Song Xing completed a full printing volume of 8 million copies, and then Song Xing used an airplane to throw newspapers unprecedentedly!
The speed was jaw-dropping; eight million copies of the newspaper were printed and "distributed" before the sun had fully set!
Then, keep printing! By midnight, the newspaper had printed a total of 14 million copies!
In other words, Song Xing is very smart and knows what Li Xian needs this time - shock! An unprecedented shock, a shock to be engraved in history! What you need to be flattering is wisdom and ability to handle affairs!
The way the newspaper is distributed is shocking, but even more shocking is the content of the newspaper.
