"Sir, please don't worry, we really can't sell it, we have to wait for Master Huang to come!"
In a concierge at the gate of the shipyard, the craftsman kept explaining with a sad face.
"Why can't it be sold? There are obviously many boats in it, why can't it be sold?"
"Yes, it's a good shipyard, and the craftsmen inside are still busy. Why is the door closed? Is it just to stop us?"
"A few days ago, I heard that some merchants from other places bought steamships. Why can't they buy them here?"
"Yes, it is true that this shipyard is the property of His Highness the Crown Prince. Does buying a ship also depend on status...?"
After receiving the news that Yizhou was to be developed in the early morning, the officials immediately decided to come to the shipyard to buy ships after some discussions.
If you don’t want to let go of your children, you can’t trap the wolf. If you want to make money, you have to invest first!
So everyone rushed to the shipyard.
But I never expected that I would be rejected!
It says that the shipyard is undergoing renovation and is temporarily closed!
But obviously some of them heard that the shipyard had just sold a ship a few days ago.
Why don't they sell it when they want to buy it?
"No, no, no, you all have misunderstood. The shipyard is open to the public regardless of status. It's just that it has been undergoing renovations recently and cannot be opened, so you can't be allowed in for the time being. You have to wait for Master Huang to come! "
The craftsman had said this many times, but these guys just didn't hear it and kept clamoring to go in.
"What are you waiting for, Mr. Huang? Just open the door, won't it be over if we go in?"
"That's right! Isn't it the same thing if we go in and wait?"
"We can wait until Huang Yuan arrives before buying a boat. Can't you let us in first and let's take a look at the boat first...?"
At this time, the ministers were very anxious, especially when they saw waves of court officials coming here.
Next to the gatehouse is the large iron gate of the shipyard. Through the gap, you can clearly see that there are not many ships left inside!
If they start late, they won't be able to catch it, so they plan to find a way to get in first and seize the promising steamer!
"Sir, please don't embarrass me. We are also following orders!"
But the craftsman refused to open the door no matter what, and would not let them in, even if he told Hua Hua, it was useless.
"Master Liu, what should we do? Although we were the first to come, we still can't get in!"
"Yes! Don't talk about the price of the steamship now, we don't know whether we can buy it!"
"Look, two more groups came from behind. They seem to be Wang Shilang from the Ministry of Industry, and Yu Shilang from the Ministry of Etiquette! If it's as expected, they should all be here to buy steamships, right?"
"That's inevitable! If you don't buy a boat at the shipyard, how can you buy a car...?"
Looking at the waves of people, several ministers suddenly panicked.
If they can't buy a boat, all their plans will be ruined.
"How come that old guy Wang Shilang got involved? He didn't go to the Nanyang trip before!"
One of the ministers looked puzzled.
"Humph! It's just because he didn't make any money last time that he couldn't wait to come this time!"
"That's right, during the morning court, they are the fastest ones. They are probably going to discuss countermeasures!"
"Everyone is thinking about Yizhou's dividends. It won't be long before other colleagues will have to rush to the shipyard...!"
Although there are no spices in Yizhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the first batch of people to go there will definitely make money.
His Royal Highness has a very keen sense of business opportunities. As long as he talks about making money, he will definitely make money.
Even those who had no ships before and had never participated in the development of Nanyang were all thinking about the fat piece of Yizhou!
"When will Huang Yuan arrive?"
Several ministers kept urging.
"We have sent people to look for him, but we don't know Mr. Huang's specific location. We don't know when he will be found!"
The craftsman shrugged helplessly.
With so many properties waiting for Huang Yuan to handle, who knows where he is at this time.
Besides, who knew they would all swarm here today?
He was also wondering, what day was it today, and why were so many ministers swarming here?
"Hurry up and send a few more people to look for it. We must buy a steamer and go back today!"
"Yes, we have to buy a boat today!"
"Remember, we are the first to come. If there are limited ships, we must be given first...!"
Seeing that this boy was unable to get in, the ministers had no choice but to explain things quickly before anyone else came in.
"Several adults did come first, but I don't know how to sell steamships now!"
The craftsman said half-heartedly.
"Okay, okay, okay, as long as you remember that we came first!"
Several ministers came here for a long time, but nothing was done. They just stood here and talked nonsense with him for a long time.
In just a moment, the second wave of ministers also entered the concierge.
"Yo! Master Liu, Master Huang...!"
"Are you all here too?"
After the two groups met, they greeted each other with hands in hand.
It's just a superficial effort, no one is sincere.
They all wished that they were the only ones in the shipyard and no one else cared about Yizhou!
"Master Wang, why are you here today...?"
The minister surnamed Liu asked pretending to be confused.
"Isn't it that Yizhou is about to open up? We also have to set an example to encourage people to immigrate, so I'm thinking of buying a boat and exploring the way to Yizhou!"
Wang Shilang smiled calmly and said pleasantly.
Then he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Liu should have a boat, right? I wonder if this time...?"
"Oh! Our ship is in Nanyang and we can't come back for the time being, so we plan to buy another one and set an example for the people!"
Since he was hypocritical, Minister Liu was not polite and used the same reason.
If you want to be hypocritical, let’s all be hypocritical together.
Anyway, everyone knows what it is for!
"Alas! Immigration is really difficult. If there is no profit motive, I am afraid it will be difficult for people to immigrate willingly!"
"Who says otherwise? When people immigrated to Nanyang, they also saw huge benefits. Otherwise, who would be willing to go to such a far place!"
"Yizhou is further away than Nanyang. If the imperial court doesn't provide attractive policies, I'm afraid no one will want to go!"
"yes……!"
They couldn't get in anyway, so everyone started chatting inside the house.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people came here, all officials from the DPRK and China!
"Why don't you colleagues go to the shipyard? Why are you all gathered here?"
The officials who arrived later did not understand the situation and asked in confusion.
"Oh! Forget it, this guy won't let us in. He has to wait for Huang Yuan to come. He doesn't even know how many ships there are for sale!"
When this was mentioned, the ministers in the room became angry.
