Late at night, because of the huge number of orders in the shipyard, the former shipwrights often kept the lights on and worked overtime to catch up with the progress. Although they were a little tired, the shipyard's profits were good, and the shippers' income would be much higher accordingly.
Now we have not received a single order for a whole year. We have been fighting for a year. Now we are in a state of semi-bankruptcy. All kinds of semi-finished scraps are scattered on the ground. Everyone is waiting for news at home. At this time, there is not a single person in the shipyard. No.
Liang Zao staggered, and Liang Chuan followed him for fear that the elder brother would fall into the water.
Liang Zao pointed to the largest treasure ship under construction in the dock and said: "This is our best treasure ship at present. With excellent sailors, it can sail against the wind. It is 120 feet long and can hold nearly 20,000 kilograms." goods, and because of the new technology, the price is cheaper than the treasure ships you bought before. '
The main body of this mountain-like treasure ship has been basically completed, and it is indeed larger than my own treasure ship! There are now treasure ships in Liangchuan that can also travel against the wind, but they need very good steering skills and a zigzag pattern to achieve the effect of traveling against the wind.
Now his goal is the Khitan in the north. If there were such a ship, it would not be able to travel unimpeded all year round!
Liang Chuan's mouth watered when he looked at this new type of treasure ship.
'Nowadays, the Japanese invasion is serious at sea. This boat is also equipped with an archery port. Bring a team of people with you, and the Japanese will not be able to get close! '
Where did Liang Chuan need to shoot arrows? He saw that the arrow muzzle was exactly the muzzle prepared for his own artillery!
Beautiful, commercial and military combined into one, fully able to meet your needs!
Liang Chuan became more and more happy as he listened, but Liang Zao was in a low mood and didn't pay attention for a while, and he couldn't show it too obviously.
'How many ships are there in the shipyard now? '
Liang Zao sighed: "There are more than ten pieces, all of which have been soaked in water. It has been more than a year and they have not been sold yet!" '
Enough is enough. If there were such merchant ships, they could transport more than 300,000 jins of goods to Khitan at one time. Even if they transported 300,000 jins of rice, they would still be able to make a profit. Besides, they What is shipped is not low-level products like grain, but other commodities of higher value! Two to three hundred thousand jins, even if you pull 30,000 to 50,000 jins, you will still make a hundred times the profit!
'What's the price of this kind of treasure ship now? '
Liang Zao smiled bitterly and said: "Repay the price. Now no one wants these ships if they are given to others. The government has also issued a notice. Now they only charge a cost price and don't make a penny. They think others are stupid. Now they still want to make a profit." Come back, now that I have bought a boat, I can’t go into the water. I can only park it on the river and see for myself, what’s the use! '
Liang Chuan became even more happy when he heard it and said: "How much is that and how cheap is it!" '
Liang Zuodao: "One piece only costs more than 8,000 strings!" '
'What, I remember that one of those treasure ships cost tens of thousands of gold. This is not the case. . '
'It's just like a free gift, isn't it? '
Liang Zao sighed: "No one wants to give it away for free. If these ships are not sold, even if we don't lose our job, we will not be able to pay out the salary!" '
The shipyard has a sense of responsibility for its own profits and losses, and various benefits are linked to the shipyard's efficiency!
'I plan to buy all your treasure ships. Is your factory willing to sell them? '
Liang Chuan didn't fight with him and directly stated his request.
Liang Zao thought he had heard wrong and immediately reacted: 'Really, do you really want to buy it all? '
Liang Chuan hummed again and then said, "But you can't reveal even half of the information that concerns me. I'll have someone take over!" Otherwise, my sinful body will bring you trouble! '
Where does Liang Zao have so much mind to care about other bits and pieces now? He only thinks about when this boat can be sold! Or Liang Chuan thinks more than himself!
Among the few people, Liang Zao was the most careless in the past. In the officialdom, he was like a pure engineer and an idiot in the political arena. Even Ling Hu would scold a few words about treacherous ministers now in power, and whoever Liang Zao was in power had nothing to do with him!
'However, I have one request. Can you help me install two pieces of iron on the bow of the boat? '
Liang Zao was a little puzzled.
Iron piece, what is it for? Impact?
'You have to tell me what it's going to be used for, so I can modify it in a targeted way! '
'To break the ice! '
To break the ice, is Liang Chuan going to the north? Well, loading two pieces of iron will indeed be of some use.
It is very dangerous for a wooden boat to go north if it encounters an ice age. Carrying two pieces of iron on it is a little protective, but it is not very useful!
'If it is used to break ice, I advise you to forget it. Even if the iron sheets can withstand the impact, the wooden planks of the ship's hull cannot hold up, and the ship will still break. So don't use it. '
When Liang Chuan heard this, he said, "Okay, then I'll listen to you." '
Liang Zao asked with concern: "Sanlang." . I drank too much this night, and I'm afraid you'll laugh. Do you really want this boat, or are you just trying to be nice to me? '
Liang Chuan said seriously: "Do you think I'm joking?" '
'Okay, when will the delivery come? '
'Tomorrow I will ask you to send the deposit first. This boat should not be completely completed yet, so you can continue to help me take care of the boat, and the rest will be fine! '
Liang Zao was so excited that he threw away the wine bottle. He seemed to have strength again. He wished he could tell everyone the news right away!
'Get some rest early, someone will come looking for you tomorrow! '
After speaking, Liang Chuan glanced at the big treasure ship in the dock again, left the dock, and returned to Yuetai Temple to sleep on his own.
Yelu Chongguang has to be called out.
A firework went up in the quiet Qingyuan Port. Many people saw this beautiful bloom at home. The market has been so bad this year. There are still people setting off fireworks. Who can be so unscrupulous!
The residents are filled with hatred, but they also yearn for good things. There is still some hope in this situation. It turns out that not everyone is so bleak. .
Yelv Chongguang moved quickly and found Yuetai Temple along the location of the fireworks. Liang Chuan was going back to Qingyuan, and Su Wei notified him of this news.
But it was rare to signal him so suddenly.
Something happened.
Yelv Chongguang's first instinct was this.
Yelu Chongguang hurried to Yuetai Temple at dawn.
'My boss? '
But when he saw Liang Chuan, there was nothing going on around him. Only Li Chuyi was sitting beside him.
'Guess who I saw? '
Liang Chuan asked meaningfully.
'who? Yelv Chongguang was very suspicious.
Liang Chuan stared at Yelv Chongguang with great interest for a long time, and then said leisurely: "How many years have we known Chongguang?" '
'What happened to my boss? '
Liang Chuan did not tell anyone what happened on the Yizhou Strait, and only he knew Xiao Zhang's identity.
Yelu Zhongguang felt his heart shrink inexplicably and had a very bad premonition.
The boss and he know each other's personalities well, and they are both straightforward people. With his current way of speaking, it's a bit intriguing!
If you say it wrong, something will happen!
'Are you hiding something from me, Chongguang? '
Yelu Chongguang was in chaos, and he had many plans at the moment.
First, the siege in Fengshan made him realize how lacking his abilities were. Faced with such a complex and tense situation, he could be said to be blind, unable to understand anything, and unable to grasp the pulse beforehand. He couldn't figure out the enemy's details, let alone come up with effective reference opinions, so that he and his employer fell into such a passive situation!
In the past, his role was that of the horse boy next to Liang Chuan, just like a shoe lifter. He did some physical and rough work. He only used his muscles and never used his brain to think about things!
Fengshan had to escape, and he began to learn from the pain and determined to change this situation of lagging behind and being beaten. Even the cross-eyed man who had just followed Liang Chuan did it more eloquently than him. He would never allow this kind of thing to happen again.
Also, he wants to enlarge the entire sticky rod, which is not a simple plan.
To recruit some useful people, the first thing is to use money.
How to make money? He didn't have to consider this issue when he was with Liang Chuan before. Liang Chuan was the master of making money. Originally, he also took advantage of the dock to get some goods to Khitan. He had so many people under his command, all of whom were serious Khitan people. , they went to Khitan to do business, there was no problem at all!
Liang Chuan has authorized him to do anything he wants, so he dares to have such a bold idea.
For Yelv Chongguang, this choice is the most appropriate and wise! They have unparalleled advantages.
Could it be that the boss is not happy about this?
His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought that his employer was also a Han family, and Han and Liao had been at odds since ancient times. .
'Boss, you know everything? '
This sentence stopped Liang Chuan and asked him what he knew, what the situation was, and why he felt a little bad!
'You'd better say it yourself. . Liang Chuan actually became a little nervous.
Isn't this kid really secretly communicating with the Khitan?
Liang Chuan squinted his eyes and glared at Yelu Zhongguang. Yelu Zhongguang himself was a little lacking in confidence and did not dare to look directly at him. He laughed and said, "Boss, I want to lead my brothers to do something to make more money." For a little money, I will expand the sticky rod area in the future. . '
What, you tough guy, it’s true. .
'So you cooperated with the Khitans? '
'Well, no no no, I just thought about it. . '
Liang Chuan was so angry. He never expected that the younger brother he brought out would be so capable. He would hook up with his opponent under his nose. He was still kept in the dark. If he hadn't thought too much today. Wow, I really didn’t expect that Yelu Zhongguang, an honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would rebel against the revolution!
Liang Chuan pinched his sword finger on his hand and said to Yelu Zhongguang: "Tell me, when did you and Xiao Zhang hook up? It seems that I am really too loose on my control. If I let you guys continue to play, how could I possibly die?" Do not know at all! '
Yelu Zhongguang's vision went dark and he was so anxious that he almost cried!
