With the participation of the five nobles all of a sudden, Zhu Jie inevitably received some blows, but a few blows were not enough to shake Zhu Jie's will, but made Zhu Jie calm down.

Why do you want to invest so much money in one go? Wu Baiwan taels of silver, where can I put it? To prepare a Yanhuang company, you can start with three million taels of silver, do it first, and then invest enough, then you can borrow from Yongxing Bank in the name of Yanhuang Company, so that Yongxing Bank does not have to worry about the silver in its hands There is no place to spend it, and the depositors' silver must be released to generate income.

The eyes of the five nobles lit up immediately, Yongxing Bank, how much wealth this bank holds, I am afraid that only Zhu Jie knows, but the five of them can also guess a rough guess, more than a dozen money banks in Nanjing City have been run away from Suzhou and Hangzhou by Yongxing Bank, and in Nanjing City, it is not tenable at all.

Nanjing City rich businessmen gathered, I don't know how much wealth has been concentrated, now most of it has fallen into the hands of Yongxing Bank, anyway, most of the silver of several noble families has been deposited in Yongxing Bank, although the interest is not much, but you can also earn some pocket money.

Zhu Jie said lightly: "Xiongwu Hou, I know that each of your families has their own estate, and at the same time needs a large amount of silver to be turnover, if you can't come up with a lot of gold and silver in a hurry, I can allow you to borrow 300,000 taels of silver from Yongxing Bank, how about it?" ”

Wu Xing's eyes lit up and he lent us 300,000 taels! What a big deal, there is such a good thing in the world, each family takes out 400,000 taels, except for the borrowed 300,000 taels, only needs to take out 100,000 taels of silver to do things, this is a big gift from Zhenguo Gong to himself and others!

Not only Wu Xing, but also the eyes of other nobles lit up, this gift is too heavy, not to pick up ten thousand taels of silver, you can't take it out, but if you want to take out these silver, other industries under your name are bound to be greatly affected, and it is foreseeable that for a period of time, business will definitely stagnate, now well, with this loan of three thousand taels of silver, what are you afraid of?

"Zhen Guogong, in that case, we will follow you!"

Wu Xing said excitedly, "It's just, I don't know what charter you have next?" How does this Yanhuang company work? ”

Although Wu Xing and others are all nobles, they have not commanded the army to fight for many years, but instead focus on the family business, and almost know nothing about military affairs, but they are all shrewd when it comes to doing business.

Zhu Jie stood up and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, as long as the money is in place, the first thing is to form a caravan, we need to order merchant ships to form a caravan, from now on, order merchant ships from Fuzhou, well, at least ten large merchant ships of 3,000 materials, 20 medium-sized merchant ships of 2,000 materials, a total of thirty ships, if there are suitable merchants who are willing to sell, we can even buy them together with sailors and shipwrights; The second thing, from now on, Longjiang Bao Shipyard will start to supervise the construction of warships, and if we want to organize a strong naval division, at least we need ten large warships and thirty small and medium-sized warships to ensure our safety on the sea! ”

Wu Xing said in a deep voice: "Zhen Guogong, it takes time to supervise the construction of warships, thirty or forty warships, even if they are at the peak of the Longjiang charter ship, it will take a long time to complete the construction, and now the strength of Longjiang Bao Shipyard has been greatly reduced, without two years, it is impossible to supervise the construction of so many warships, and even if the warships are formed, we still need to form combat power, it will also take a year, within these three years, what should we do?" You can't just do it, can you? ”

"Of course it won't be exhausted!"

Zhu Jie replied, "I first came to Nanjing, I am not familiar with the place, I want to do anything, it is very difficult, but you are different, you are all generations of hairpins, the Jiangnan family, I ask you in the shortest possible time, for Longjiang Bao Shipyard to recruit talents to build warships, no matter where they are, as long as they have proficient technology in navigation, then recruit me, I will give them absolutely eye-catching salary!" I want to restore the strength of Longjiang Bao Shipyard in a short period of time! ”

Wu Xing smiled and said proudly: "Zhen Guogong, we don't dare to pack tickets for anything else, but when it comes to recruiting people, as long as the five of us come forward, there is no one in Jiangnan that we can't dig up, even if it's a shipyard person in Tainan, Fuzhou, I can dig it for you!" “

Wu Dequan said with a smile: "Zhenguo Gong, what the Marquis of Xiongwu said is right, the thirty-two nobles of Nanjing, don't dare to say anything else, only in terms of shipbuilding and navigation, there is no family that can be compared with the Marquis of Xiongwu, and now the younger brother of the Marquis of Xiongwu is in charge of the Qingjiang Shipyard......"

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Marquis Xiongwu, so you are proficient in maritime affairs?" ”

Wu Xing nodded and replied: "Yes, among all the officials in Nanjing, except for the officials of the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, I am afraid that no one knows the shipbuilding and navigation of the Ming Dynasty better than me!" More than 100 years ago, the ancestors began to focus on overseas trade, and now most of the family's income comes from overseas trade, and the four of them together are only slightly stronger than our Xiongwu Marquis Mansion. ”

"Then you should tell me, where is the most developed shipbuilding industry in the Ming Dynasty now?"

Wu Xing said with a smile: "Zhen Guogong, speaking of shipbuilding, a hundred years ago, naturally Longjiang Bao Shipyard took the lead, however, a hundred years down, Longjiang Bao Shipyard has hardly built many sea ships, has already been surpassed by other shipyards, now the Ming Dynasty's powerful shipyard is none other than Fujian Tainan Shipyard, Qingjiang Shipyard in northern Jiangsu is second, the third party can be said to be Longjiang Shipyard, now, most of the ships used in overseas trade, are Fujian's fortune ships, deep draft, not afraid of wind and waves, most suitable for deep into the South and Western Oceans; As for the inland river ships are mainly sand boats in Qingjiang and Shandong, mainly used for inland shipping, the bottom of the ship is flat, the draft is shallow, not easy to run aground, Longjiang Bao Shipyard was originally mostly from Fujian and Qingjiang to clean up the boatmen, mainly to supervise the construction of Zheng He's treasure ships, mostly warships, now the Ming Sailor has already declined, if it is not for you, even Zheng He went to the West All the information is difficult to see the light of day, of course, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, Longjiang Bao Shipyard as a shipyard supervised by the Ministry of Industry, the heritage is still strong, not to be underestimated, At least the dockyard is incomparable to other shipyards, and it just needs to be cleaned and repaired......"

Zhu Jie was overjoyed, he didn't expect that there would be a talent like Wu Xing among the nobles, it's great!

"Xiongwu Hou, then this task will be handed over to you, dig people for me from Qingjiang Shipyard and Tainan Shipyard, it's really not possible, then give an order from the household department, directly recruit, in two months, I want at least a thousand excellent shipbuilders!"
