Cheng Youde knew that the specific amount of timber and shipwrights to pull away was decided by this general, and the key was to get this general. He knows that the government is tired of doing things, what the top wants to do is the meaning of the top, and what it does depends on the specific person who does it. He looked around, approached Xia Nan, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and quietly handed it to Xia Nan: "The general works hard, this is a little contemptible, take it to his brothers to drink tea." ”
A glimpse of the south in the summer, it is a silver ticket, one hundred taels of denomination, and the seal is actually "Hongtu Qianzhuang", indicating that it can be exchanged by the various branches of the "Hongtu Qianzhuang" in Guangdong Province. He felt quite funny, this Boss Cheng didn't know that he was not acting on orders at all, but acting for himself in the name of the governor, and it was completely useless to bribe.
He didn't take the silver ticket, but stared at the seal on the ticket with interest and asked, "Hongtu Qianzhuang?" Is the boss surnamed Gao? ”
Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking the silver ticket at all, Cheng Youde did not hand it over or receive it, which was quite embarrassing. Hearing the other party ask about the origin of the silver ticket, I thought I was worried that I would not be able to cash it, so I hurriedly promised: "The boss of this money bank is indeed surnamed Gao, and all counties in Guangdong have semicolons, and this silver ticket has been stamped with my Cheng Ji's private seal, and the silver can be taken out directly, and the whole province can exchange it......
"It's just the whole province's exchange?" Xia Nan smiled, although this old man Gao is bold enough to dare to collude with thieves, but the vision of business development still can't jump out of the limitations of the times, almost two years have passed, and he is still spinning in Guangdong. He always had a plan in his heart, which came up on the night of the Gao family's assassination of Gao Hongtu, and he didn't mention it to anyone for the time being: to build an ancient version of the bank, with business all over the country, and all large and medium-sized cities can deposit and exchange and absorb deposits. With the urine of the rich people of the Ming Dynasty who poured the silver into ingots and hid them in the cellar, as long as they had enough reputation, they could definitely attract the magnates of the Ming Dynasty to deposit the silver, and once they were deposited it was regular, they would not be cashed out when they were idle, which was equivalent to taking most of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty into their own hands. And to establish the foundation and manpower of the bank, you can use the high-profile bank.
What kind of business to do, it's not as rich as the bank, Xia Nan thought proudly. However, in the early stage of establishing the credit system, it is necessary to reserve a large amount of funds to prevent a run, and at the moment they do not have this strength, the army and navy are all big money-consumers, and they will soon have to fight with Liu Xiang.
It seems that even if you manage to swallow the big money, you will have to find a way to raise enough cash to realize your banking plan.
He was obsessed with the bank's dream, but Cheng Youde thought that he was dissatisfied with the amount of silver, and cried and begged for mercy with a sad face: "General, the shipyard has meager profits and limited flow, and the contemptible people will not be able to take out more for a while!" ”
Xia Nan returned to reality and said, "Shopkeeper Cheng, don't panic. I don't want your silver ticket, but I want to give you silver. ”
Cheng Youde was stunned, is this to entertain himself? It is a great grace to be able to accept the silver ticket, put some water when doing errands, and use some scraps and apprentices to make up the number and go back to pay the errands.
Xia Nan asked: "How many workers does your shipyard have, and how many ships can start to build at the same time?" ”
Cheng Youde replied stunned: "There are 368 people, including apprentices, and at most two ships will be built at the same time......"
Compared with the assembly line operation of Bofu Shipyard, the efficiency is still too low, Xia Nan thought to himself. He said, "I'll open the skylight with you and say something!" It stands to reason that Futai asked me to ask for wood and boatsmiths, which were used to beat Liu Xiang, and I could have spent nothing, but I can give you another choice: buy your timber at a flat price, and I will also buy the boat you built for a long time, and I still want the boatsmith, but I can keep half of the manpower for you, and I will compensate you a sum of money according to the head, and you will slowly invite someone. ”
Cheng Youde didn't expect such a play, he lowered his head and thought about it, as long as he didn't tease himself, he would make it. Although it is not cost-effective to sell wood at a low price, the time and labor costs of buying wood and drying it yourself are in vain, and it takes a lot of time and energy to find craftsmen again, but it is still much better than the other party's white take, not to mention that the other party also proposed to buy ships for a long time, and has a stable sales target.
"If this general's speech counts, this deal has been done, and my loss is much smaller. But the timber is sold to you at a reasonable price, so what shall I do to build a ship? ”
"Didn't the Canton ship use a lot of ironwood? You keep all the iron power wood, and sell me all the rest of the camphor wood and the like. "Xia Nan heard Charles and Lin Yishan mention that although Tieli wood shipbuilding is strong and durable, it is difficult to process, and there are few sources of materials, so it is inconvenient to repair and replace when damaged, so it is not an ideal material to build warships. On the contrary, cargo ships built of iron and wood can be used to carry people and goods, and self-construction will crowd out the production capacity of Bofu Shipyard and affect the construction progress of warships, so it is better to buy ready-made ones directly.
Cheng Youde was overjoyed, so that he had the best of both worlds, and he bowed sincerely: "So good, the general is merciful, and the contemptible is unforgettable!" ”
"Don't wait until it's memorable, if you want to be grateful, it's too late. I want timber and boatwrights far more than that, and I don't bother to run away from house to house, so you go and inform the other colleagues, handle it according to today's regulations, and send me both timber and boatwrights within three days, and give me cash on the spot, and never default. ”
Cheng Youde hurriedly responded: "The contemptible person will do it immediately." ”
Back at his residence, Lin Weiye greeted him happily and told him: "I went to the streets today, and I have gained a lot, and I, the commander of the light pole, also have subordinates." ”
Xia Nan didn't know for a while: "Huh? ”
Lin Weiye reminded: "Didn't you let me be the head of the research institute? I only have a name, but I am not given a single one. ”
"It turned out to be this stubble." Xia Nan patted his head, "What treasure did you find on the street?" ”
Lin Weiye dodged away, revealing the two people behind him. One was a young man in his early twenties, with black ink on his face and hands, and his eyes were not large, but there was a wit in his eyes; The other was about thirty or forty years old, black and thin, and looked honest.
Xia Nan looked at Lin Weiye, and when he introduced him, Lin Weiye couldn't wait to say: "The young one is called Shen Xiaoyang, his ancestor is a time-honored papermaker, and he opened a bookstore by himself, but what he likes to fiddle with on weekdays is printing, and he tries to print books by himself." ”
Is there anything unusual? Xia Nan rolled his eyes and thought, isn't it just a young man who doesn't carry forward his ancestral skills, but goes to fiddle with other useless things?
Seeing his carelessness, Lin Weiye added: "Xiao Shen not only has superb papermaking skills, but also has a lot of experience in printing. Da Ming mostly engraving printing, movable type printing is not popular, a small amount of use is also with wooden movable type, he actually tried to use lead movable type! (To be continued.)
