Chapter 807 Iron Ship

The hall was quiet, Master Zhengxin took a picture of the jade slips in front of the two of them and began to read them. Sanxian's powerful primordial spirit quickly absorbed the information in the jade slips, but it took a lot of effort to analyze the wisdom in the materials.

After a while, the Venerable Master Zhengxin looked up, "If you two are willing to swear to serve the Taiyi Sect for five hundred years, then the Taiyi Sect can guarantee you enough cultivation resources. As long as it is what you need for cultivation, there is everything you expect, but It is limited to your own practice.

In addition, if there is credit, the Taiyi Gate will also be rewarded.

Specifically, you can negotiate with the head of Ming Xin. "

…………

The annexation wars on Yingzhou are in full swing, with some actively launching wars, some passively responding to the war, some successful, but many more failed. It is not uncommon for the snipe and the clam to compete for the fisherman's profit.

Famine became the biggest motivation for the people. For a morsel of food, the people joined the army one after another and went to the front to fight.

If you die, then die, at least you can pull a back; if you win, you can grab a bite to eat.

Famine is the best motivation. The legions of various countries are rapidly expanding. A legion can cost millions, but the improvement of combat capabilities is limited, because the proportion of practitioners is decreasing and the ammunition is seriously insufficient.

On the withered and yellow ground, there are dry corpses, and the evil spirit is rolling over Yingzhou, which has begun to seriously affect the ground. As long as they entered the battlefield, many soldiers would rage and kill if they were slightly stimulated.

But such a crazy war has not seriously affected the west of Yingzhou.

In the west of Yingzhou, especially the area near the sea, although drought has also occurred, food can be obtained from the sea after all.

Different from the East Sea of ​​Yingzhou, there is not a single powerful monster in the sea to the west of Yingzhou. All powerful monsters are "elixir of activity" and have been beheaded by the masters of Fertile China long ago.

However, the drought always has some impact. For example, in Ningguo this year, many people flocked to the seaside, just for the seafood here.

"Bada...batta..." Old man Yang was smoking a pipe, sitting on the reef by the sea and looking into the distance.

At this time, people were everywhere on the sea, shouting, fighting, and crying, and many people had fled from the inland. Although Ningguo has started the road to industrialization, industrialization cannot solve the food problem for the time being, and industrialization is only in the west of Ningguo, near the seaside.

Many people from the mainland don't understand the sea at all. Often when a wave comes over, many people disappear forever. Even if the weather is relatively good, the waves can sometimes be as high as one or two meters. This is a fairyland after all, and the sea has a bit of a temper.

But most of the people have only a little basic cultivation, some even have no cultivation at all, and they are still hungry, how can they stop the waves.

The seaside was quickly dug up by the refugees, and sometimes a sea crab the size of a fingernail would fight and even die for it. Almost no one cares about the people who are swept away by the waves, and everyone is hurrying to find something to eat.

Next to it, there are also some smarter people who know a little magic, and they will gather fresh water balls from the sea to exchange for some food.

But there are too many refugees. Today, more than a month later, there is nothing on the seashore; everyone can only explore deeper into the sea.

The deep sea hides crimes, and many people were killed from behind in the process of robbing food.

Old man Yang and other people who used to live by the sea and depended on fishing sighed.

"These days are getting more and more difficult." Lao Yang finally uttered a word.

"Who says it's not. Hey, our place is better, and we are finally close to the sea. I heard that many people in the inland have starved to death." Someone beside him agreed.

"But it's not a solution to go on like this. I heard that at the border, there are still many foreign people who want to come to us to make a living. But they are blocked outside the border."

Everyone started discussing for a long time again. Suddenly a few boys came running from behind, and the first one shouted: "Father, uncles, there is a big happy event, a great happy event!"

"Xiao Yang is here."

"Xiao Yang, what's the matter?"

Everyone smelled it in a hurry.

Yang Jian ran to the front of the reef in one breath, gasping for breath, "Zhang Quan's son-in-law's Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group has started to sell large iron ships to the public.

A person from the Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group came to our village just now, saying that the Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group is going to sell fishing boats made of steel, big or small, and one boat for each village is enough.

Dad, all uncles, with the big iron boat, we can go deep into the sea to fish. There are too few fish and shrimps on the seashore, and they are all small fish and shrimps; if we can enter the sea, we must have a bumper harvest every day. "

Old man Yang slowly walked down from the reef, "This big iron boat must be very expensive. Let's talk about the iron, why don't you need three or five copper plates for one kilogram of iron; and an iron boat, it shouldn't be able to carry ten tons of iron. How much would it cost...Three or fifty taels of silver.

Where are we going to get this money. "

"Father, it's not a ten-ton ship, but a 500-ton ship. It's just a displacement. A big ship costs 5,000 taels of gold. One ship is enough for a village.

But father, this is the first time I buy an iron ship, there is a preferential policy. Specifically, let's talk about it when we go back to the village. "

"Five thousand taels of gold..." Everyone exclaimed immediately. Fifty taels of silver is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and this five thousand taels of gold is... a mythical figure.

But anyway, it's good to go back to the village first.

When I came to the village, I saw a relatively good locomotive parked at the entrance of the village, with the logo of Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group on it. When I came to the center of the village, I saw a well-dressed man talking to the villagers. Needless to say, this person is a member of Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group.

As soon as old man Yang came back, everyone immediately said, "The village chief is back."

Hearing that the village chief was back, the person from the Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group trotted over immediately. He was obviously in the foundation-building stage, but he didn't feel arrogant when facing Old Man Yang, a three-legged cat. Instead, he was a little cautious. "Hello Village Chief Yang, I am the salesperson of the Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group, to be precise, the salesperson of the ship.

My name is Zhang Jingxin. The village head can just call me by my name, or according to the current popular saying, Mr. Zhang is also fine. "

"Then I'll call you Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang's big boat costs five thousand taels of gold. I, an old man, have been thinking about it all the way. Even if we sell our village, we still can't get five hundred taels of gold together." Come on. I think Mr. Zhang must have another way."

Even though he can be the village chief, old man Yang has a bit of wisdom. Along the way, I kept thinking: Five thousand taels of gold is an astronomical figure, and the village can't get it out at all; but since the other party dares to sell it, there must be a certain strategy.

Zhang Jingxin said directly: "For the time being, we have three types of fishing boats with different displacements, all of which are large iron boats. There are 300-ton, 500-ton, and 800-ton fishing boats.

300 tons requires 2,500 taels of gold; 500 tons requires 5,000 taels of gold; 800 tons requires 10,000 taels of gold.

I personally recommend a large ship with a displacement of 500 tons. With less displacement, the boat is unstable and unable to sail further. A fishing boat with a displacement of 500 tons can just accommodate the entire village, and after testing, it is enough to go deep into the sea for 500 kilometers under the condition of absolute safety.

In extreme cases, or when the weather is particularly good, it is enough to penetrate two thousand kilometers. But 2,000 kilometers is the limit, because there are always some huge sea beasts in the sea, and among these huge sea beasts, there are many who have the golden core stage. "

Old man Yang nodded, "We all understand this truth. But I don't know how to sell this boat?"

"There are two methods." Zhang Jingxin took out a document, "The first method, which is also my preferred method, is mortgage purchase. The second method is employment and leasing.

Let’s talk about the second type first. The second type is simple, that is, the ship belongs to our Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group. You can rent it, and we can also hire you. But this method has low profits and faces the danger of being fired at any time. "

Old man Yang nodded, understanding these principles.

Then Zhang Jingxin handed the document to old man Yang with both hands, "This is the first way of purchase, which is mortgage purchase.

The so-called mortgage purchase is equivalent to borrowing money and mortgaging the future. You pay in cash first, and pay as much as you have; the rest will be repaid monthly. We charge a certain amount of interest, 5% interest.

You can sell the purchased seafood directly to our Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group; you can also sell them yourself, get money and repay the loan.

This is exactly...so so...

If Village Chief Yang is interested, we can go to Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group's dock to see the ship. "

Zhang Jingxin explained skillfully, and Old Man Yang understood. But there is a problem, "Mr. Zhang, what you said is very good, but there is a problem. In this famine year, who has the money to buy food? Maybe we were robbed as soon as we landed."

"The village chief can rest assured that if the big ship wants to dock, it must go to a big port. There must be officers and soldiers guarding around, and there will be no problems."

"Guarded by officers and soldiers?" Village Chief Yang narrowed his eyes, then shook his head, "Oh, this boat is too expensive, how about we discuss it in the village? Mr. Zhang will come back in a few days."

When Zhang Jingxin heard this, his heart turned cold; after a few days, he would definitely answer in the negative.

But Zhang Jing's heart changed, and he understood where the problem was-officials and soldiers! Or bandits are about the same. A thief's life is like a soldier's life, and this sentence is almost every common man's mantra.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingxin immediately said: "Village Chief, Your Majesty is reforming the country and vigorously promoting reforms; at this moment, the new port is the area that His Majesty is personally inspecting, and it is also a place that the son-in-law, the princess, and the queen are all paying attention to.

In addition, this is also a choice to change fate. Once successful, Yangjiacun will become the upstart of Ningguo - businessman; the village chief must have heard of how rich the big businessmen of Ningguo are now.

Taking a step back, even if it fails in the end, the big deal is to sell the boat in the end! "
