Move Longjiang Bao Shipyard to Fujian?

Cha Bolt's heart was suddenly shocked!

I have to say that Yang Geng's proposal is very attractive, after all, the Yangtze River is wide, and the scale of the dock that can be built is limited, even if it is enough to supervise the construction of 3,000 large ships now, what about the future? Cha Xuan knew very well in his heart that the emperor's reception room had told him that the most advanced and largest warship in the world now is England's Sea King, which has a displacement of nearly 5,000 materials, and with the emperor's personality, at most, the affairs of supervising the construction of more than 5,000 materials level warships will be put on the agenda, 5,000 materials, such a large warship, in Longjiang Bao Shipyard no matter what, it is impossible to supervise the construction, the dock is simply not enough, it is too cramped.

Fujian is the most developed province in overseas trade since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the navigation industry is developed, and the shipbuilding industry is also developed, and there are many Western craftsmen and merchants, who are most familiar with the Western shipbuilding technology, and there will be no shortage of talents to supervise the construction of large warships, as for the dock, there is no need to worry, in Quanzhou Port, or Mawei Port, there are large areas of coastline that can be excavated and trimmed into docks.

It's just that the relocation of Longjiang Bao Shipyard to Fujian, on the one hand, involves the relocation of tens of thousands of people, and even the relocation of many equipment, which is not a small project, and Longjiang Bao Shipyard, which is directly supervised by the Ministry of Industry, and even Hu Yanlei of Longjiang Bao Shipyard still has the title of the Ministry of Works, where can it be easily moved; Second, this Fujian is far away from Nanjing, but also far away from the capital, the treasure shipyard is so important, in Fujian, security is a problem, Zheng Zhilong's remnants, the West's snooping on Fujian, will bring unknown threats to the treasure shipyard.

Moreover, just because Yang Geng said this, he moved the treasure shipyard to Fujian, who knows what Yang Geng's bad intentions are?

After all, now that the two major sailors have just been merged, and even the personnel have not been settled, there may be a few dissatisfaction with the imperial court among these generals at any time, and even have different intentions, is Yang Geng's proposal really to solve the current predicament, or is there another plan? No one can guarantee this......

"The relocation of Longjiang Bao Shipyard to Fuzhou or Quanzhou is a big matter, not our navy can decide, this is the treasure shipyard directly under the Ministry of Industry, their supervisor Hu Yanlei is now the Ministry of Works, if you want to move to Fujian, how easy is it?"

Cha Xuan was silent for a moment, and said in a muffled voice.

"Master Inspector, I think Lord Yang's strategy is feasible, since the demolition of Longjiang Bao Shipyard involves too many interests, it is better to keep Longjiang Bao Shipyard and build a shipyard in Fuzhou or Quanzhou again!"

Zheng Haotian said.

"Preparing for a new shipyard?"

Cha Bolt's eyebrows raised, as for Yang Geng on the side, he looked at Zheng Haotian in surprise, preparing to build a shipyard that is bigger than Longjiang Bao Shipyard, but it is not as easy as imagined, it requires silver, of course, silver is easy to solve, but talent may not be, in a short time, where to raise so many shipbuilding craftsmen?

However, Cha Bolt is obviously moved, preparing to build a new Longjiang Bao Shipyard, once it is completed, then the imperial court will have two super-large-scale shipyards, and there will be no need to worry about the future development of the navy.

"But, Lord Zheng, do you know how much silver taels it will cost to build a huge shipyard on flat land?"

Yang Geng smiled bitterly: "Without the investment of millions of taels of silver, it is impossible for us to see the launch of the 3,000 giant ships from the newly built shipyard......

Millions of taels of silver......

It has to be said that this is a huge number!

Cha Xuan suddenly said: "If we can change the future and fate of our Imperial Navy, don't say one million taels of silver, even if it is two million taels of silver, it is definitely worth it!" The problem of silver, not for us to consider, this has to be considered by the emperor and the people of the household, I have decided, immediately to the court, ask the emperor to decide, if we can really build a new shipyard within two to three years, then this matter, we will definitely do it! ”

What kind of person is Zhu Jie, either he doesn't make a move, and he is a big-spending figure when he makes a move, let him get a small shipyard out, he may not be interested, but if he really wants to build a shipyard that is larger than Longjiang Bao Shipyard, then Zhu Jie will definitely be interested!

"Master Inspector, even if you want to write a book, we must first come up with a plan, otherwise, go straight to the letter and ask the emperor to build a larger shipyard in Fujian, the emperor asked, how do we answer? Moreover, as we all know, Fujian has been controlled by the Zheng family for many years, although Zheng Sen and Zheng Hongkui are loyal and have been transferred to the capital to serve, but who can guarantee that there are no ghosts, snakes, and gods below to make trouble? Don't make a mess of chickens and eggs when the time comes......"

Zheng Haotian hurriedly persuaded.

"That's good! Today, don't leave a few of you, we'll come up with a plan tonight, Lord Yang, you're an expert in this area, but you have to worry more about this matter......"

Cha Bolt said.

Yang Geng said in a low voice: "Master Inspector, although what Lord Zheng said is good, but, building a Longjiang Bao Shipyard in the flat ground, even a new shipyard that is even bigger than Longjiang Bao Shipyard, is not only our investment, but also the time delayed is unbearable, without more than three years, or even longer, it is impossible to complete such a large amount of work, we also have to recruit shipbuilding craftsmen, have you two thought about it, when we launch the giant ship in the shipyard, I am afraid that our navy's warships are also full." ……”

Forehead......

Cha Zhu and Zheng Haotian's expressions froze, this is right, the time has dragged on too long.

"The following official means, the best way, is to directly choose a shipyard from Fujian, and then buy it to expand again, and even the recruitment of shipbuilders will save a lot, the most important thing is to save time, if you do this, less than a year, more than two years, an unprecedented shipyard will appear in front of us!"

Zheng Haotian sighed and asked: "Lord Yang, in this case, we will have to spend a lot of money, do you think that the imperial court is very rich now, a few days ago, Yanhuang Company just lost three or four million taels of silver because of the matter between Tagawa Nanazaemon and Zheng Cai, and Lord Huang of the household department will not be able to open the pot now......"

Yang Geng's face was ugly, wiped it, this is the shame of their Fujian sailors, millions of taels of silver have been wasted like this!
