Duan Peng's interview became a turning point in Qingyuan's business history. Everyone felt that the official-business relationship was no longer as intimate as before, but many people had long noticed that this phenomenon had changed since Zhao Weixian came.
However, the life of small businessmen seems to be better. Unlike members of the chamber of commerce, they need all kinds of entertainment and deal with people in the government. Most of the businessmen in the port are still doing their own business and paying legal taxes. , so for them, the general environment is developing for the better!
Because Duan Peng is less likely than Zhao Weixian to interfere in people's livelihood and compete for profits with the people, and under the operation of Liang Chuan, the taxes collected by the port are under the imperial system. This is undisputed, but other miscellaneous income is saved a lot!
One goes down and the other goes up, life is not better than before!
The public opinion that doing business is difficult is controlled by these big businessmen. Only they can have the opportunity to contact high-level officials and convey the opinions of the people at the bottom, regardless of whether they are true or not. .
The general environment is getting better, but from the perspective of senior management, they have some complaints about Duan Peng.
After all, Duan Peng is too young, acts too impulsively and offends others. The most important thing is that this sanctimonious villain turned out to be Xia Song's man. .
There is a rule in officialdom. Many things do not depend on whether you are right or wrong, but on your side and position. If you take the wrong side, everything is wrong, and there is no reason.
Cao Buxiu went to western Fujian and hasn't come back yet. He sent people from the intelligence team to find out. The folk customs there are also very fierce. Fortunately, the place is too poor. In many cases, money can settle things without any reasoning. thing!
Liangchuan needs iron ore, which is a resource that is currently in short supply. There is currently more coal and less iron on Liu'ao Island, and a lot of iron smelting furnaces have been opened, but the output still cannot increase.
It's not that the masters don't work hard. With the generous remuneration given by Liang Chuan and their wives by their side, these masters shouldn't live a comfortable life. It's so comfortable that they all feel sorry for Liang Chuan. How can they do it if they don't work hard?
Liu'ao Island is now the base camp for its own weapons research and development and manufacturing. There is no room for mistakes. It is also close to Qingyuan Port and is isolated overseas. It is a rare good place.
Except for the two important materials of iron and coal, other sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter are all purchased at the port. You can get as much as you need. You don’t have to worry about outsiders using reverse calculations to calculate the required materials, because these materials are readily available on the market. There was only as much supply as possible, and Liang Chuan almost bought it out by himself.
Xia Dehai went to the South China Sea and finally came back.
This trip to the South China Sea seems not to be going well!
This time the ship improvement project has been submitted to Liang Zao's shipyard. They want to build a warship specifically for naval warfare.
After several naval battles, Liang Chuan also discovered that although the treasure ship was large, it was not suitable for naval battles. The target was too large and heavy, so it suffered a lot at sea!
It is best for a ship to have a single purpose. Merchant ships focus on cargo capacity, while warships still pursue combat effectiveness!
The draft of the returning sea-going ship was not deep, which meant that there was not much cargo on board. This alone discouraged many merchants.
Liang Chuan and Su Wei stood on the bow of the ship and saw that the hull
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
There are many mottled spots and many forts are cracked, which shows that the warship must have gone through a battle!
The two of them were afraid that something unexpected would happen. Liang Chuan himself had met Yamamoto from the island country at sea. He had to say that if Su Wei hadn't asked Yang Ba to arrive first with the Little Heavenly Master, he might have suffered a big loss.
The sea is not only a competition of strength, but also luck. A storm or a wave may change the direction of victory!
It wasn't until Xia Dehai came down from the deck with joy that Liang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If you can still laugh, it means there is no big problem!
Xia Dehai took the initiative to approach, said hello to Liang Chuan and Su Wei, then settled the other crew members, and finally followed Liang Chuan back to the office.
"Is there a fight?"
Xia Dehai did not hide anything but replied with a little excitement: "My boss is wise, yes!"
Being so happy about a fight must be rewarding!
"How much money did you make? Who did you meet?"
“I haven’t met anyone yet, and I haven’t grabbed anything yet, but I found a very good place!”
Very nice place?
Liang Chuan turned his head and glanced at Su Wei, who pondered with interest.
Xia Dehai couldn't hide the ecstasy in his eyes and said: "I heard from our old fishermen on the Wan'an River that if you leave the Wan'an River and walk straight to the other side of the sea, there is a very vast land there, but the mountains are full of savages. Listen to them Tell me, it seemed to be called Yizhou in ancient times!"
Yizhou!
Liang Chuan stood up!
Su Wei was frightened and asked quickly: "What's wrong? I scared you like this. Where can I find my opponent?"
Liang Chuan had mixed feelings in his heart when he heard the name Yizhou.
To the people along the coast, he has a more familiar name.
In the era when Liang Chuan lived in later generations, this lonely wanderer overseas had not yet been able to return to the embrace of the motherland!
Those careerists ignored the choices of the people and history for their own selfish interests, and blatantly chose to be the sinners of history!
Liang Chuan didn't think of this place now, because Yizhou was still in a primitive and undeveloped state at this time.
At this time, the concept that Yizhou belonged to China was not so profound, so Liang Chuan didn't even have the concept of a place in his subconscious, let alone have any idea about it!
Grandma, it's different now. Liang Chuan has always felt that Liu'ao Island is a bit lacking and has never been able to become the final fortress!
Now, he has a better idea. Liang Chuan's eyes changed from solemn to excited, shining like a hungry wolf!
Several people looked at it blankly. Once this expression appeared on Liang Chuan's face, it meant that nothing good was going to happen, and some unlucky family must suffer!
Yizhou! This is a Feng Shui treasure land! Although there are a little more typhoons every year, in terms of climate, food production, and geographical location, this is a great place tailor-made for Liangchuan!
And the most important point is that Yizhou currently has no government. Even if it declares its sovereignty, there will be no government.

Ting Hui will stand up and attack him!
Cool!
Such a small land, under the management of Chiang Kai-shek, exploded with unlimited potential and became one of the Four Asian Tigers!
The pores all over Liang Chuan's body were screaming!
He has been worrying about how to arrange Xia Dehai's navy and thousands of people from the Tianxiong Army!
Liu'ao Island has obviously reached its population limit, and it is easily disturbed by outsiders, which is not conducive to technological development!
Liang Chuan had countless thoughts flashing through his heart and stood there in a daze.
Xia Dehai was very worried. He was worried that the news he brought had irritated his boss. .
Liang Chuan came back to his senses, looked at the worried faces on everyone's faces, realized his rudeness, and smiled: "Why are you looking at me like this? Xia Dehai, please tell me what you saw!"
Xia Dehai secretly glanced at Su Wei, who nodded, and then said: "Speaking of which, I also want to thank my boss for giving me this good thing!"
Xia Dehai took out a telescope wrapped in musk skin from his arms like a treasure! Showing off to a few people!
This time we went to Nanyang. Originally, I thought that if there was business, I would do it, and if there was no business, I would wander around on the sea and make some profits!
Xia Dehai was afraid of being scolded when he said this, but Liang Chuan couldn't bear to scold him at this time!
Pirates are not worthy of the name. Why did Quanzhou’s trade with Nanyang and Central Asia cease after the Song Dynasty? In addition to China’s policy of isolation, another factor was pirates at sea!
The most important thing in business is a stable business environment. It is said that harmony makes money! Things changed when the pirates came. These people only wanted to steal money, but they also killed people!
After two years of hard work, there is no longer a merchant ship sailing in the South China Sea!
Public security management at sea is not like on land, where anyone who messes up cannot escape the jurisdiction of the government. It is different at sea. There are so many islands in the vast sea that you can't find them even if you hide them.
It takes hundreds of years to create a good environment, but just destroy it.
Qingyuan Port is the lifeblood of Liang Chuan, how could he allow pirates to mess around under his nose?
Let Xia Dehai go on patrol at sea, not to steal money, but to steal pirates' money!
Whoever doesn’t make life easy for me, I will make life difficult for anyone!
This is Liang Chuan's usual creed.
"Keep talking!" Liang Chuan signaled.
Xia Dehai continued: "Originally, we didn't plan to rob their ships. These ships are small and broken, how much money can they get? These people are so blind that they not only don't appreciate it, but also take the initiative to ask for it. We attack!"
Xia Dehai looked disdainful and continued: "We sent them to see the Dragon King in a few seconds, and deliberately let one go!"
When he got to the point, Xia Dehai started to beam with excitement!
"Thanks to this treasure, we can still see the enemy's shadow dozens of miles away. We secretly followed them, but these people thought that our ship couldn't catch up, so they stupidly led us to their lair!"
