Chapter 235: The Way to Live, In the Ocean

"What about the price? What is the price?" Yang Jinghui asked.

"Dear Emperor, this largest warship, the King of the Sea, is calculated at 100,000 taels of silver. I call it a first-class combat ship, which can be used as the flagship of the fleet. This slightly smaller warship has fifty to sixty guns, and the cost of each ship is about 30,000 taels. I call it a second-class combat ship, which can carry 350 people. These two types of warships are the main force of the fleet, responsible for fighting and suppressing opponents, so they are called combat ships; this kind of warship is even smaller, with only twenty to forty guns, I call it a cruise ship, responsible for supporting the main warships, attacking merchant ships, pirates and other tasks, cost ratio

It is cheaper, about 10,000 or 20,000, and about 100 people per ship; it is smaller, with only a few to more than a dozen guns. This kind of ship is responsible for fighting in some special sea areas, such as shallow seas, inland rivers, and places with dense reefs. This kind of ship is the cheapest, about a few thousand taels is enough. Oh... By the way, Your Majesty also has a kind of fast ship, which is responsible for delivering letters. This kind of ship has the fastest speed and needs some, and the cost is relatively much cheaper. The general situation is that. If Your Majesty builds on a large scale, the price will be even cheaper,..." Ando began to talk endlessly about the cost of building his own ship.

"Wait..." Yang Jingwei was confused by the numerous data and began to secretly calculate in his mind how much it costs.

One hundred thousand per ship; three thirty thousand per ship is ninety thousand; five thirty thousand per ship, on average, are about seven thousand and twenty thousand per ship; the smallest one, including the Clippers, is responsible for conveying information, about seven ships, even seven,000, even seven thousand taels, that is to say, such a fleet costs about 350,000 taels.

It is acceptable to calculate this way. There is a relatively elite fleet of more than 300,000 taels. However, if you calculate the maintenance costs of these ships, the wages of the navy, the consumption of cannons, etc., it will be quite high. Yang Jing suspected that he had money to build but had no money to support him.

Yang Jing calculated the cost of labor, maintenance and consumption for a long time, and found that the navy was indeed a hole in burning money, and his own account was a bit too much to calculate.

Yang Jie wiped his forehead and said, "It's great, it's all good. I have decided to build this fleet. You are responsible for designing and supervising the construction of this fleet. Of course, if the ships built are not good, you know the consequences." Yang Jie had a headache and didn't plan to think too much. He first burned a fleet with silver.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will build this fleet for Your Majesty, especially the King of the Sea." Anduo saw that he finally convinced the emperor, not to mention how happy he was, he assured the emperor with a gaze.

"Okay, take your companions and go to Nanjing to find my shipbuilding admiral. He will be responsible for managing everything about shipbuilding, including costs. You are responsible for designing and supervising construction. Do you understand?" Yang Jing cut off the mess and got it done.

"As for your order, my Majesty, I will pack my luggage and go to Nanjing immediately to find that, by the way, Your Majesty's shipbuilding admiral." An Duo was so excited that he just wanted to dance with the emperor in his arms.

"Big partner, write an introduction letter to Zheng Huaizhong and tell him that this guy and his companions are responsible for building Western warships, so that he must cooperate well. The warships are designed and supervised by this guy. Materials, labor, silver, etc., let Zheng Huaizhong keep a close eye on them."

Yang Jingwei looked at this guy who was dancing and felt a headache. He didn't have enough money and had to build a ship. He turned around and asked Wang Chengen to clean up how much money he had left.

"As for your order, your majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.

An Duo left with satisfaction. Qin Yaozu was very frustrated. He did not win the battle today. The emperor issued an order to build the ship of the Ming Dynasty, but the ship of the Ming Dynasty he was responsible for was not moving. If the shipbuilding was hit by his own hands, he would probably have to change his chair before his butt was hot.

When Yang Jie saw that Anduo had gone out, he walked seriously to the row of ship models, picked up a ship model, looked at it, and looked at it.

Seeing that the emperor was interested in this boat, Qin Yaozu hurried over and explained with a charming smile: "Your Majesty, this boat is called a yellow croaker boat, which is specially used by coastal fishermen to catch fish." Qin Yaozu held the resources of the entire internal official supervisor and built ships for him, so the types of ships were very rich, and even these fishing boats were built. The eunuchs always pursued the greatness and integrity of the emperor's affairs, and tried to meet the emperor's requirements at one time. Therefore, they were only going to build warships, but this time, they built the fishing boats together, but there was no more effort.

What attracted Yang Jing was that there was something like a trawl hanging behind the ship. The trawl? Isn't this mean that the ancient fishing technology was also very developed. Yang Jing was always worried about this food problem. Although he made a lot of preparations, even immigrated and disaster relief at an advanced scale, the total amount of food decreased during the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty. After more than ten years of drought, it was necessary to find another source of food. This fishery is undoubtedly an important source of food supplement. It is always meat, which is more capable of filling your stomach than grass and bran.

Thinking of this, Yang Jing was very excited and forgot this very important link. The ocean, the birthplace of mankind, can actually provide a large amount of food for people. Isn’t it because of the lack of food in the late Ming Dynasty and everywhere? How could he forget such an important thing?

"Oh!" Yang Jie was overjoyed and slammed his hand hard with his fist. He secretly shouted in his heart, "God helps me, God helps me."

Wang Chengen was puzzled. What happened to this emperor? Why did he be so happy when he saw a fishing boat?

Qin Yaozu was even more confused. He was very frightened and didn't know what to say.

Yang Jingyi had figured it out and immediately said: "What is the name of this ship?"

"Report to Your Majesty, this ship is called the yellow croaker boat, which is specially used by coastal fishermen to fish." Qin Yaozu memorized the uses of these ships quite well. When the emperor asked, he immediately answered it.

"Yellow croaker boats? Fishing? How big is this kind of boat? How far does it take to fish? How many fish can you catch at a time? How can the fish keep fresh?" Yang Jing was inexplicably excited. He finally found another way to survive, a way to solve the problem of disaster victims in the late Ming Dynasty and the problem of eating in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Report to Your Majesty, this yellow croaker boat can be big or small, and it can be as big as hundreds of materials as many as hundreds of materials. Generally, there are several people in the rudder water, and more than ten people can wait. The long trip time can be two or three months, and a short two or three days. As for how many fish can be caught? It is hard to say, there are thousands of pounds and tens of thousands of pounds. It depends entirely on luck. If the fish are kept fresh, either with fish salt or ice..." Qin Yaozu said everything he could know. He has put a lot of effort into showing his face in front of the emperor. You must know that tens of thousands of eunuchs compete in the entire Forbidden City. If you don't work hard, you will have no chance to make a comeback!

How many crew members harvested 10,000 kilograms? Use salt to keep fresh? Yang Jing swallowed in his throat. Such a huge source of food was forgotten by himself. He really deserved to die! Yang Jing wanted to slap himself in the mouth, and he should have thought of going out to sea to fish! He was really stupid. He thought of building a warship, but he didn't expect that the ship could be fished. This fish could be eaten. In the late Ming Dynasty, how many victims would have to be placed? How many victims should be solved for the food?

Yang Jingwei was in a very emotional state.

"Okay, okay, okay! Not bad, not bad! Qin Yaozu, you have made great contributions this time,..." Yang Jie's impression of this guy was just average. Looking at this guy now, Yang Jie thinks that this guy is very cute. This guy is a blessing.

"... Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, I dare not take it..." Qin Yaozu was puzzled. The emperor praised himself when he saw a fishing boat. Why is this?

"Haha, but there are other fishing boats? By the way, how much do you know about this fishing industry? Tell me." Yang Jing is very yearning for this fishing industry now, and he wishes to start building ships and fishing immediately, and then transport them to Henan and Shaanxi through the Yangtze River, canal, and Yellow River to use fish to relieve disasters. This, perhaps, is a new and bold attempt. Yang Jing started to use his brain and began to think about his plan.

"Report to Your Majesty, I know a little about this fishery, but it's not a lot. I only know that there are many fishing boats, including large and small sampans, large and large yellow croaker boats, sand fish boats, etc., small boats can be harvested every day, but the number is small, only ten or ten pounds per day, hundreds of pounds, and there are many large ships, so the harvest is also great, and it takes several months to go abroad. It's not empty talk, your Majesty..." Qin Yaozu said this, there was really nothing to tell the emperor, and all the things in his stomach were empty.

"Big partner, Master Xu and the others left Beijing?" Yang Jie immediately decided to use this fishing industry as a treasure for disaster relief. This is a treasure to solve the problem of farmers' meals in the late Ming Dynasty! Can the fish in the sea be eaten? In the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, it was impossible to finish it! In later generations, the fishing volume of this fishery was a scary existence!

"Go back to Your Majesty, you haven't left the capital yet. Does Your Majesty have something to call them?" Wang Chengen was puzzled. What was the emperor thinking? The imperial envoy has not left the capital yet, and he is going to call them back again?

"Let Master Xu and the others come to me immediately. I have something important to discuss with them, hurry, hurry, hurry." Yang Jing couldn't wait. Such an important way to deal with the famine in the late Ming Dynasty and such a way to save his life, how could he abandon it? Yang Jing was overjoyed, and there was nothing better than this news.

"I obey the order, let's go now." Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was urging him, so he didn't say much and immediately did as he did.

The little eunuch who conveyed the order was urging Wang Chengen to run away like a piss and go to the imperial envoy. Yang Jingwei began to walk around the Wenhua Palace impatiently, waiting for someone...

He couldn't help but wonder what the fishing industry would be like in the future. Based on sporadic information or some sporadic memories from the "News Broadcast" in the future, Yang Jing estimated that the fishing industry in later generations was probably above the million tons. As for how much it was, it was not clear what it was. You have to go back to check the information to confirm it in the evening. Yang Jing did not expect that he could have the scale and ability of fishing like he did in the future. He just hoped that he would have a fraction of it, 100,000 tons, 100,000 tons, how much food is? One or two million stones! This can solve the problem of how many people's food? He has become more developed and developed! No, no, I found the key to open the famine problem in the late Ming Dynasty! The key! His future is at sea, at sea!

Yang Jie was excited when he thought of it and wanted to cry. He had had enough of these days. For money, disaster victims, food, resettlement, to not hang himself in coal mountains, and to not be so tight that the rope around his neck, he thought of many solutions, suffered, and suffered, now he has found a better solution.

The victims were transferred to the coast, and then sent some sampans and fishing boats to go out to sea to fish, then purchased those fish products themselves and transported them to Shaanxi to provide relief to the victims. This is much faster than the grain in the places, and it is much more secure. The most important thing is that they do not need to be threatened by the big landlords in Jiangnan. What Yang Jing fears most now is that the landlords and wealthy people in Jiangnan will increase the price of food when they see that they use tens of millions of taels of silver to provide disaster relief, so that it will make it more difficult for them to provide disaster relief. Now, with such a source of food, you can not be afraid of the landlords and wealthy people. Hehe, no matter what, fish is, it is also meat! You can still eat meat when you are affected by the disaster. This, I have to say that these victims are lucky. When they meet me, a time traveler, Yang Jing will become more and more beautiful...

"Gugugugugu, dongdongdong..." Yang Jing imitated the dubbing of a game, and it seemed like he was holding a mouse in his hand, as if he was playing a game. Yang Jing has now completely figured out that the source of this food has never been only found in the field. You must know that in "Age of Empire", in "Age of Empire", at the beginning, animals have to be killed, and then fishing grounds, where food can be found in the ocean, Yang Jing suddenly realized that this principle has been told to us in the game! But no one expected it, so he began to miss the days when playing games every day and all night every day, and he seemed to have pinched a mouse in his hand, happily clicking the farmers dig meat, fishing, farming, exploding population, and increasing technology...

Wang Chengen and Qin Yaozu looked at the crazy emperor, not knowing what the emperor was doing, they didn't know what they were talking about, but they couldn't understand anyway, and they could not understand any action they could not understand. They got crazy? Qin Yaozu found that the emperor became very scary. Wang Chengen got used to it. Sometimes the emperor would always do something inexplicable.

I don’t know how long it took for Yang Jing to wake up from his dream. When he saw that it was the three imperial envoys, Xu Guangqi, Zhang Jiude and Zhou Yanru, all of whom were sweating profusely and panting. He was probably urging him to the little eunuch who was urinating.

That's not all, I have to kneel down and kowtow to the emperor. The few were surprised. The emperor was not sitting on the dragon throne, so why did he run to the hall? There were many boats next to him.

After the ceremony, Xu Guangqi spoke.

"I don't know what the matter is that Your Majesty is so eager to summon me, what's the matter?" Xu Guangqi was discussing immigration with his two deputy. When he learned that the emperor would summon him immediately, the sooner the better. If something major happened, he thought something big had happened. Under the urging of the little eunuch, he rushed to Wenhua Hall. When he got here, he realized that the emperor seemed to be fine at all and was not angry. Isn't this tormenting us? At such a big age, can you bear this?

"Haha, Master Xu, three, today, I suddenly figured out a problem." Yang Jing compared his game history and found that "Age of Empires" pointed out the direction for himself.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what's the problem?" Xu Guangqi was so angry.

"Big companion, please move a chair for Master Xu." Yang Jing also found that his master was a little troubled and felt a little disgusted. However, he gave Xu Guangqi a chair alone, and the other two were not given. Who told them to be young? What's more, that guy Zhou Yanru is only in his thirties and is just when he needs exercise...

"I thank Your Majesty. Your Majesty is standing. How dare I sit? It's better to stand..." Xu Guangqi also refused. This time, it was different from before. At least the emperor sat down. If he sat down by himself, it seemed that the emperor loved his ministers. Now the emperor is standing by. If he sits by himself, what kind of morality is this?

"Haha...well, let's talk about the serious business first." Yang Jing did not bother with this issue and wanted to talk about his discovery directly.

"Master Xu, do you guys, do you find that the ship here is a bit special?" Yang Jie was very happy today. He found a magic weapon to solve the problem in the late Ming Dynasty and was ready to act like a good person.

Xu Guangqi, Zhang Jiude, and Zhou Yanru were inexplicably surprised. The emperor came to us just to see the broken ships. We lost half of our lives!

"...Your Majesty, is your Majesty talking about warships?" Xu Guangqi knew a lot, and knew that the emperor was preparing to fight a naval battle and wanted to build a sea ship. After looking at these ships, he came to the conclusion.

"No, no, no, my family, you come to see this, this..." Yang Jing picked up a boat and happily let his imperial envoys see it.

"..." Several people were puzzled.

Zhang Jiude has been the governor of the river and has dealt with ships a lot. He recognized it and said, "Your Majesty, is the yellow croaker boat in his hand?"

"Haha, Zhang Aiqing has good eyesight, good. The boat I am holding is the yellow croaker boat. Do you know what it is useful and what it can do?" Yang Jing induced.

"Report to Your Majesty, the yellow croaker boat is a fishing boat, of course it is a fishing boat..." Zhang Jiude answered without hesitation.

Zhou Yanru was the most clever one. When he heard what Zhang Jiude said, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Your Majesty means to use fishery products to save the famine?"

Yang Jing was a little surprised. These guys were still smart and guessed what they meant in a few seconds. He said: "Yes, Zhou Qing's family, he guessed it well, and he used the fishery to provide disaster relief."

Zhou Yanru said modestly: "I dare not take it, and I dare not take it. In history, it has been common to suffer disasters and fish to save the desert. It is nothing, and it is not the first thing that the ministers think of... However, it is usually spontaneously organized by the people, and the government generally does not organize disaster victims to fish and rescue the desert..."

What? There was such a thing in ancient times? There was something about using fishery to save disasters in ancient times. Yang Jing was surprised! Wouldn't that say that this was not his first creation?

"...But Your Majesty, even if you can use fish to save disasters, it's probably a drop in the bucket. It's not helpful! The number of victims in this disaster is huge, and there are enough fish in rivers and ponds and lakes! What's more, there is a shortage of water in Shaanxi, and there is no place to catch fish!" Zhou Yanru continued.

Touch! It turns out that what Zhou Yanru said was fishing and disaster relief in rivers and ponds and lakes, and fishing and disaster relief in the sea. They were all different from what he thought about. They were all n levels away! Zhou Yanru was really only a little clever! He also had to exercise more, his thinking was not open enough and his vision was not high enough!

"Yes! Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been records of using fish to save famines. However, if the number of victims is not large, it is feasible. But now, Your Majesty, millions of immigrants! There are probably more victims. Can a few ditches help?" Zhang Jiude did not agree with the emperor's idea. It was too ridiculous. Such a thing does not require government organizations at all. The people themselves will eat the fish and shrimps in the river and ponds, which is still necessary for us?

"Haha, you guys! My mind is not open enough. If you think about problems, you still don't stand at a height! How many small rivers and ditches can't raise many people and can't catch many fish? But what about the sea? What about the ocean? How many fish can this be caught? How many people can it feed? What I just showed you was a fishing boat that can go out to sea. You can understand what I mean..." Yang Jing explained to his subordinates with a smile. In fact, he had just figured it out, but now he can use it to teach people a lesson. This is the advantage of taking the lead.

"ah!……"

"ah!……"

"ah!……"

The three of them were extremely shocked! They widened their eyes and looked at the emperor in surprise. Yes! There are not enough fish in the ditch, but the fish in the ocean... First of all, does this ocean have an end?

The others were also stunned. Wang Chengen had long been accustomed to the emperor's genius method of thinking about problems. He was the first to calm down and look at the emperor with admiration. This was the first time Qin Yaozu had come into contact with the emperor under such circumstances. He was stunned. The emperor did not like his warship, but his fishing boat.

"Your Majesty is so talented, and we are so smart, so we really can't do it..." Xu Guangqi took the lead and admitted that the emperor's idea was indeed unexpected.

"...Your Majesty meant that we would recruit victims and go out to sea to catch fish? Then send the fish to Henan and northern Shaanxi to rescue the disaster?" Xu Guangqi understood the emperor's meaning and began to discuss specific methods with the emperor.

"Yes, that's right, what I mean is to build as many fishing boats as possible, go fishing, use salt to make dried fish, and then transport them to disaster relief sites. All of them should be able to solve a large part of the food problem, which is much more reliable than all the food in the places." Yang Jing expressed his plan. Using fish as a type of food to provide disaster relief, even if it only accounts for 100% or 20% of the total amount of food, is quite considerable and can save a lot of money.
Chapter completed!
