The Ming Dynasty's policy of seclusion and seclusion, coupled with a strict maritime ban policy, and a lack of attention to the shipbuilding industry. Not only did the Ming Dynasty lose its right to govern the sea, but it also made the shipbuilding industry far behind the West.

Now the Ming Dynasty's warships, not to mention the warships of the Franc Machine, are not even as good as the ships of the Japanese Invaders, so that the Ming army can only be on the defensive. In the same way, the Ming army fell into a passive situation, and the war against the Japanese was usually a land war.

Lin Haoran put forward an upgraded version of the weapon-only theory, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could develop warships and use the advantages of warships to expel the Japanese from overseas, or even annihilate them at sea.

Qi Jiguang knew that Lin Haoran's idea was very beautiful, but he sighed lightly, and said with helplessness in his eyes: "It's true, our warships are too far behind!" The few remaining warships of the Shendian Guard were badly damaged, and they were no longer able to sail far, and they were unable to engage in a naval battle with the Japanese Invaders! ”

"We can't sit still, how about I help you repair those ships for free?" Lin Haoran seemed to be prepared, and continued to throw a bait.

"Really?" Qi Jiguang's eyes lit up slightly, and he found that this person's energy was much greater than he imagined, and his ambition was greater.

"I'd like to rebuild the Bay Shipyard, but I'll need some craftsmen from the Divine Guard, how about it?" Lin Haoran nodded slightly and said the quid pro quo.

The shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty was mainly government-run, especially the large ships required for ocean voyages, and only the government had financial and technical support. For example, the government-run Qingjiang Shipyard has more than 8,000 craftsmen and ships more than 50 ships a year.

With the tightening of the imperial court's maritime ban policy, Liu Daxia burned the shipbuilding drawings with a fire, and the official shipyard gradually declined, mainly responsible for Cao Yun, and mainly produced shallow inland river ships.

Fortunately, with the development of the handicraft industry, private capital has been accumulated. Coupled with the demand of merchants for maritime trade, the private shipbuilding industry is on the rise, and the scale is not small.

Thanks to the fact that Dianbai Port was once the foreign trade port of Guangdong City, the shipbuilding industry here is very developed, and it has become one of the four major shipbuilding centers in Guangdong.

It is in this environment that the Bay Shipyard was born, and it is the largest private shipyard in the entire western Guangdong region. It's just a pity that after the shipyard was ransacked by pirates, it became a wasteland.

"No problem!" Qi Jiguang immediately agreed, which is undoubtedly a win-win cooperation. Although Shendianwei has craftsmen and shipyards, the corruption is too serious, and the shipyards have long been closed.

After the matter was negotiated, Qi Jiguang got up to say goodbye, and Lin Haoran personally sent him out of the door, and then watched him leave.

After Yang Chun watched Qi Jiguang leave, he couldn't hold back the question in his heart anymore, so he frowned and asked, "My lord, you trust him so much, ten thousand taels!" ”

For the huge military expenditure, 10,000 taels is naturally nothing, but for any person or group, it is not a small amount.

Lin Haoran retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Small wealth does not come out, big wealth does not enter!" ”

"Ten thousand taels, this is not a small fortune!" Yang Chunlai shook his head bitterly, even if he was so rich, he still felt a burst of pain.

Qi Jiguang is not a famous general, he has no brilliant records, he is less than thirty years old, and he is still guilty, so he really can't see any potential for him.

is also the case, Yang Chunlai feels that he has given too much, and this 10,000 taels is probably going to be wasted.

Lin Haoran raised his hand and motioned for Yang Chunlai to come to the tea room with him, and said confidently: "As long as the trade route to Nanyang is successfully opened, it is very easy for us to earn 100,000 taels or 1 million taels, why bother with this mere 10,000 taels?" ”

Uncle Ram was waiting outside the door, and then hurriedly pushed the door of the tea room open, and then asked someone to bring tea.

"You have so much confidence in Qi in the future!" Yang Chunlai turned his head to look at him and asked seriously.

"Yes!" Lin Haoran nodded solemnly. He had no reason to question the ability of this military god, once he was allowed to train the Qi family's army, I was afraid that the pirates and pirates in the entire western part of Guangdong would be completely killed.

Yang Chunlai glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, and then solemnly arched his hand: "I know what to do!" ”

Despite his doubts, this was only his point of view. It's just that in this group, Lin Haoran is the backbone of the group, he can express different opinions, but he can only act according to orders.

Fortunately, he has a good network in Guangzhou Mansion and the support of Zhao Fugui's in-law Niu Yinshan, so it is not difficult to buy bird guns.

As soon as Lin Haoran sat down to have tea, the tiger girl appeared outside the door in a hurry, and she was followed by the timid rabbit, the troubled girl Shen Haiqiong, the cold Ali and Shen Yan who was dressed as a man.

Watching these women appear, I found that if this development continues, this wild girl may form a women's gang.

Hu Niu's face was red, she raised her chin a little angrily, looked at Lin Haoran proudly and said, "Brother, I said everything, I will definitely be able to sell the store!" ”

"A thousand taels?" Lin Haoran picked up the teacup and asked in surprise.

"Fifteen hundred taels!" Hu Niu put the silver two on the table and said with some vigour.

"Who bought it?" Lin Haoran stopped pouring tea and looked up in surprise and asked.

"You know each other, too?" Tiger Niu said.

"Who?" Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and asked again.

"Steward Zhao!" Tiger Niu proudly said the answer.

Lin Haoran was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dumb smile: "Their Jiang Mansion is really interesting, their own family has sold it to their own family, and they let you be the middleman!" ”

The matter had to start with Mrs. Jiang, but I didn't know what the woman's considerations were, so she sold all the shops under her name for cash, and then bought the shops in Leizhou City.

After learning that Hu Niu came to Wuchuan City and Dianbai City, she also asked Hu Niu to help her sell two silk shops. Hu Niu is a warm-hearted person, so naturally it is impossible to shirk it, and she is doing her best to help Mrs. Jiang handle this matter.

Lin Haoran previously felt that Mrs. Jiang's price was too high and no one would take over, but she didn't expect that she would really sell it to Hu Niu, and it would be done in just half a day.

It is worth mentioning that the property system of the Ming Dynasty was different. In a big family like Jiangfu, the property belongs to the public, and individuals cannot hide private property, but the dowry belongs to the women and is free to dispose of by them.

Mrs. Jiang's dowry is probably not low, otherwise she would not have such a large-scale silk shop, and it is all over the city.

It's just that what makes people feel strange is that Mrs. Jiang sells the shop, and the takeover party is Jiang Yuanwai, the couple is clearly full of food and support, and they really have nothing to do.
