"Two or three days...?"
"Okay! Just two or three days, just two or three days, just take advantage of this time to let the Ministry of Finance prepare supplies!"
Ying Zheng thought for a moment and slapped his hand on the table happily.
The plates and bowls vibrated and a lot of vegetable soup was spilled!
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Lian'er quickly took out the brocade handkerchief and wiped Ying Zheng's palm that was splashed by the soup.
"It doesn't matter! I'm happy, haha!"
Spices can be used as seasonings and can be sold for money. Ying Zheng is so happy that he can't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"But I have to say it first. I won't be able to afford the money for working overtime to catch up on the work!"
Ying Feiyu said with a serious face.
"You are as rich as the country, why are you arguing with me about your wages these days?"
Ying Zheng rolled his eyes and said sourly.
It's only been two years, but this guy's business has already blossomed!
All the paper used in Daqin is produced by this guy’s paper mill!
Paper mills, newspapers, wine shops, etc., all have semicolons in major counties and counties in Daqin.
Just by looking at the monthly dividends, you can guess how much this guy earns.
This is still an industry that they are involved in, and there are still many industries that they have not participated in.
Counting all this, this kid's annual income is more than Da Qin's taxes!
You even bothered with him over this small amount of money!
"Don't, don't, don't, father, please don't accuse me unjustly. Now the treasury is filled with gold, silver and jewels, but there are not so many in my treasury!"
Koshota waved his hands repeatedly.
Although his property looks large, he invests a lot of money every year.
And the imperial court has just received jewelry and treasures equivalent to three billion gold, which is simply incomparable!
What he does is hard work, but the court is doing business without capital!
"Hmph! Last time I bought those ten steamships, I spent a full ten million gold. Each ship is equivalent to one million gold, which is the same price as the train. You guys still want these overtime wages... …?”
Ying Zheng said pretending to be angry.
"Ships, like trains, are made of fine iron and are equipped with artillery. There are also many precision instruments inside. Everything costs money. Besides, ships don't need rails. They can go anywhere they want. The price is naturally It won’t be lower than the train!”
Little Shota was not to be outdone.
Anyway, the temptation is there, he believes that this old guy will never be able to resist it!
"That one million gold is expensive enough, and you want to add more money!"
"There is no way. If the father is not in a hurry, I can not charge the extra overtime pay and let the craftsmen build it slowly. Anyway, a few months is enough...!"
The young lady was too lazy to argue with him, and simply started to pick up her chopsticks to eat the delicacies in front of her. While eating, she smashed her mouth, "But I have to remind my father that the river is now covered with thin ice. Wait until one After a month, it will be really frozen. Even if the steamship is made of steel, it will not be able to break the ice, and then it will really be impossible to go to sea!"
"you……"
After hearing his words, Ying Zhengqi's nose became crooked.
This guy is obviously forcing him to pay this money!
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue did pay 10 million gold for the ten steamships last time, but not only did they wipe out the Three Kingdoms for the Qin Dynasty, but they also brought back 3 billion gold. We made a lot of money!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, although the steamship is expensive, the good thing is that once you buy it, you can use it indefinitely, and it is very cost-effective!"
"His Royal Highness is the disciple of the gods, so what he said must be true. If there is a place full of spices, the wealth he will bring back will be immeasurable!"
"Yes, yes, spices are valuable but not marketable in Daqin. You will definitely be able to sell them at a good price when you bring them back...!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng was a prisoner, he was arguing with Xiao Zhengtai and couldn't afford overtime pay.
This made all the ministers anxious!
Why did the Emperor of Qin, who was usually very capable, suddenly lose his temper?
The extra money spent can allow the navy officers to set off earlier and make money sooner!
Is it really possible that we have to wait until next year?
At this stage, if people from other countries go to Nanyang and pluck all the spices there, wouldn’t they be in vain if they go again?
More money will be lost inside and out!
"Uh... Okay! I'll just take it as a big win, and I'll pay out the money the craftsmen spent working overtime!"
After listening to the persuasion of the ministers, Ying Zheng muttered reluctantly.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers immediately handed over their hands and put their hearts in their stomachs.
They are all still waiting for the spices to be shipped back to Da Qin, so Ying Zheng can give them a little share!
If they can't set off because they feel sorry for this small amount of money, they will have to scratch the wall anxiously!
"okay!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Feiyu immediately became interested, put down his chopsticks, and began to mentally calculate how much would be appropriate.
If you want more, this old guy will definitely not do it, and he will waste a lot of time and energy.
If it were any less, all his hard work would have been in vain. In a battle of wits and courage, it would be a matter of who can keep his cool!
After thinking for a long time, he said: "Fifty thousand gold! Plus fifty thousand gold for each ship!"
"Father, don't get me wrong. The shipyard is a labor-intensive job. The craftsmen's monthly salary starts at twenty gold, which is equivalent to about seven gold per day. Tens of thousands of people have to stay up all night to work at the same time. No matter how much they earn, One hundred thousand gold is enough!"
Ying Zheng thought for a while and nodded slightly.
This price is still within his acceptable range!
There are many craftsmen in the shipyard, and he knows that their salaries are high. According to this kid's calculation, an extra fifty thousand gold per ship is really not that much!
"It's done! It's settled!"
"I wonder how many ships my father wants?"
"How much do you want? Doesn't it depend on how many your boy can make in this batch?"
Ying Zheng asked slightly confused.
"Uh...! Yes, yes, yes, haha!"
Ying Feiyu suddenly felt embarrassed.
Good guy, I almost let it slip!
There were forty or fifty ships parked in the yard of the shipyard. He didn't think too much and just asked how many they wanted!
"Based on the experience of the first batch, the manufacturing volume of the second batch is much larger than the first batch, with a total of forty ships!"
Little Zhengtai stretched out four fingers and waved them in front of Ying Zheng.
"Forty ships? There are really many built!"
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched unconsciously.
Forty ships, that’s 40 million gold.
Coupled with subsidies for overtime work for craftsmen, that's 42 million gold!
Good guy!
It’s equivalent to two years of tax revenue from Great Qin in the past!
"Uh...! I don't know what the situation is like over there in Nanyang. Why don't I ask for less and get thirty ships first?"
Ying Zheng thought about it again and again, then gritted his molars and said.
Thirty ships is more than 30 million, and his heart will hurt a little less!
If the situation in Nanyang is optimistic, the shipyard's third batch of ships should be built by then, and it won't be too late to buy more!
If the situation is not optimistic, these thirty ships will be sent to the navy and used as warships!
"Okay! You can buy as much as Father said!"
Although not all of it was given to this old guy, most of it was solved, and Xiaoshota immediately smiled.
