Chapter 447 The bidding begins
Ying Zheng noticed the gazes of the ministers and smiled. Whoever buys is not a buyer, as long as I make some profit.
This is what Ying Zheng is thinking now. He won't worry about Yinzi at all.
However, Feng Quji was not used to the ministers, and immediately said: "Since no one bids, Your Majesty, I will pay 600,000 taels to buy the two largest fishing boats."
Li Si said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to buy three medium-sized fishing boats."
Meng Ao said: "I'll take care of the rest. In addition, I also want a large treasure ship. A frigate and a supply ship are the best choices."
Li Si spoke again: "Wei Chen also wants a super large treasure ship, a supply ship and a frigate."
Feng Quji said: "I want a large treasure ship and four frigates."
The expressions of the officials changed instantly. All of a sudden, there were no fishing boats, supply ships, frigates, and three large treasure ships. Now there were only three medium-sized treasure ships and three small treasure ships left. What else were they playing with?
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "Since no one offers a higher price, I agree."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Si, Feng Quji and Meng Ao said at the same time.
"Wait a minute." Gan Luo said at this time.
Ying Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Gan Luo, what do you want?"
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen was confused at first. He didn't know what the price meant. There were also boats. What kind of boats were they? What could they be used for? Wei Chen didn't even know.
Just now, after the three adults called out the price, Wei Chen finally realized that this ship must be a good thing and can definitely bring benefits to everyone.
In this case, why didn't Weichen bid? Your Majesty, please give me a chance. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "Okay, then you can bid. My dear friends, you can all bid. In addition, after missing this opportunity, if you want to buy, just wait for the second batch and buy with the merchant."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gan Luo said.
Immediately afterwards, the ministers thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "Li Si, Feng Quji, Meng Ao, since someone wants to compete with you, you should fight with everyone."
"No." The three of them said in unison.
Feng Quji faced everyone and said, "Everyone, the prices are here. If you want to compete with us, please bid."
Gan Luo said: "I have added 20,000 taels to the original price of all the ships. Anyone who wants to bid can bid with me, and I will definitely accompany you to the end."
"Nephew Gan Luo, you are overestimating your 20,000 taels." Feng Quji said, "I want those ships just now, so I will add another 10,000 taels to my nephew."
"Me too." Li Si said.
Meng Ao smiled and said: "My Meng family still has some property, I will also increase it by ten thousand."
Gan Luo smiled and said: "Prime Minister Feng, this price is a bit high. Aren't you afraid that you won't make money?"
Feng Quji smiled and said: "My dear nephew, I really don't know whether you can make money or not. None of you have gone to the sea. Who knows what is on the sea. But the world map in your Majesty's hand, I'm afraid all the officials present all know.
With a ship, everyone can explore the sea. If a country as big as Japan is explored on the sea, it will be a great achievement to expand the territory.
In addition, there are coal mines, copper mines, gold mines, etc. everywhere.
My dear nephew, your majesty has said that the imperial court only has half of this wealth, and the other half belongs to whoever finds it.
I am very tempted by this. Aren’t you tempted? My dear nephew, aren’t you tempted? "
Li Si said: "Nowadays, Japan is the first to be known to everyone, so Japan belongs to the imperial court.
I heard that Japan has an inventory of 200 million taels of silver and a lot of gold. This shows how rich the sea is.
Just because you are not moved does not mean that we are not moved. Therefore, Gan Xiang, if you want to buy all the boats by yourself, I will not agree to it. "
"I won't agree either."
"And I."
Feng Quji and Meng Ao stood up at the same time.
Ying Zheng, who was sitting on the dragon throne, smiled slightly when he saw this. Competing shipyards would make more money, so that more ships could be built.
Gan Luo nodded slightly and said: "Master Li Si is right, after having a ship, you can get greater benefits.
But I'm worried that the three adults don't have that much money to pay.
Your Majesty, the three adults bought so many boats, what if they can't pay for them? "
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Feng Quji, tell Gan Luo."
"No." Feng Quji responded, and then looked at Gan Luo, "My dear nephew, once you can't pay the money, you can borrow it from your majesty. That means you owe the court money and you need to repay it with interest. At the same time, you will tell your majesty how many years it will take to pay it back. All the money.
If it is not returned, all my family property will be taken back by His Majesty. To put it simply, my family will become pauper.
Of course, not everyone can owe His Majesty money. Someone needs to calculate the property of the person who owes money to see if he can owe that much. If not, then I'm sorry.
One thing needs to be clarified, it is not the money owed to His Majesty, but the money owed to the shipyard.
Nowadays, the shipyard supports 100,000 people, and each month's wages are 200,000 taels. There are also daily meals, clothes, etc., these are all expenses.
Therefore, people who do not have any property should not borrow money casually. "
Gan Luo frowned slightly, why hadn't he heard about this? This was not a good thing for them.
When it came to money, they were not afraid of Li Si and the others at all, but suddenly Feng Quji said that they could use their family property as collateral for payment, so their family property should not be underestimated.
Although he is not afraid if he wants to continue competing with the other party, it is not necessary because it is not cost-effective and the price of the ship is already very high. 33
Although Gan Luo didn't know what the captains built by Langya Shipyard looked like, based on the ships he had seen before, Gan Luo felt that they were very worthless.
Only Li Si and Feng Quji knew that compared with the previous ships, this ship was simply the difference between a small sampan and a warship.
"Gan Xiang, do you want to increase the price?" Li Si asked with a smile.
Gan Luo's face darkened and he asked: "Master Li, if I join, will you join too?"
Li Si looked at Gan Luo like an idiot and said, "Of course, we are bound to win this ship."
Gan Mao smiled and said: "In that case, we can cooperate well. The four of us have chartered all of His Majesty's ships.
Then we work together as a team, which is much better than working alone. "
Li Si and Feng Quji fell silent and began to think about Gan Mao's words.
But Meng Ao laughed loudly: "Haha... You kid said it very well, but there are many interest disputes. After buying the ship, who will be in charge? How will the interests be distributed?
If these things are not negotiated in advance, it will be too late after the boat is bought. "
Li Si nodded and said: "Old General Meng is right, we should each buy what we want."
Some people died, but not completely...
