Chapter 268: Huge cost

After hearing such praise, Jiang Feng came to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to showing off with fresh dishes, he was not much different from the ancients in other aspects.

For example, he did not have any superb economic means, but knew that private salt and sea smuggling made money, so he naturally started to do it like this. In this era, as long as he had the power to protect himself and intimidate others, even if he was a fool, he would make a fortune.

So he became rich, and his military achievements were inseparable from his own bravery. In addition, he was willing to spend money to pay attention to loyalty. Moreover, because there were no advanced military management methods, he used all kinds of training methods, military methods, and even Western methods in this era.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is so bad now, one is that the mainland has been peaceful for a long time, and the other is that officers at all levels are making money. Some people really focus on training troops. In this way, Jiang Feng’s Dengzhou Camp is even more outstanding, and Zhang Liang, Luo Yi, Yang Da, Liu Shier, Liu Shisan and others are around them.

Either they are from military families or from thieves from generation to generation, they are naturally getting stronger and stronger.

Of course, Jiang Feng's modern experience is constantly integrated into it, such as those modern physical training methods, such as those teams' training for soldiers, which are actually the root cause of the so-called strong army, but these things are slow to appear and will not give people any very intuitive impression.

Sometimes Jiang Feng felt that he was too adapting to this era. He should be considered a very outstanding person from the Ming Dynasty. Instead of looking at the so-called overview novels he occasionally saw in modern times, he recited ancient poems and seduced women, and made large-scale steel and glass to seduce men. Although this situation is just a small complaint, it is also regrettable.

But today my opinion on the ship was actually exchanged for the title of "genius". And under the description of the white man, the old shipwrecks from Nanjing and Tianjin who were only overwhelmed by Jiang Feng's official power also vaguely figured out this joint.

Looking at Jiang Feng, his eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. In fact, the question about the ship tower was 20 years later or ten years later, due to the need for ocean navigation, the tall ship towers of Spanish sailing ships seemed a little uncomfortable and clumsy because of the problem of too high center of gravity.

So the Galen ship appeared, which is the prototype of the so-called modern sailing ship. The current sailing ships only have some differences in details, but the general things are fixed and unchanged. Jiang Feng’s suggestion is just to make advance predictions and tell everyone the most reasonable shape.

The society of the Ming Dynasty was the so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Of course, in reality, the scholars and wealthy merchants who were officials far surpassed the farmers and workers. Those craftsmen who seemed to be semi-slaves had the lowest status. The praises of these people would not be considered a big deal if they were put on others.

However, Jiang Feng has always been a modern person who appreciates the technicians and holds an unparalleled emphasis. Hearing that the white man and the local boatmen say this, he suddenly felt extremely proud, as if he was as comfortable as drinking snow water during the dog days of summer.

He tried hard to be reserved, but his mouth became bigger and bigger. Finally, he had to cough a few times to control his emotions. He pretended to be dull and announced to the people in front of him:

"Everyone, your salary will increase by 30% from now on. You can allocate resources from Yantai Mountain to cooperate with you. When this big ship is built, I will have a heavy reward here!"

This sentence is really something that everyone loves to hear. Everyone in the room cheered. Jiang Feng pressed his hand down, signaling everyone's tranquility, and continued there:

"In Dengzhou, you have always made great rewards. If you build larger cannons and larger ships, I will definitely have a heavier reward here."

After saying that, he answered the excitement and excitement of those people. He turned around and went out. After going out, Jiang Feng excitedly waved several punches into the void. It is possible to imagine how much security he would be with such a ship, and how his strength and wealth would be increased.

The guards next to them were no longer the Tidings, but were all veterans from Dengzhou camp. These people did not start with Jiang Feng and had never seen the kind of heroic spirit that Jiang Feng was acting recklessly. What they saw was more of Jiang Feng's authoritative appearance. When they were so happy, they felt very rare.

When we were surprised, we also felt a little incredible. Is it worth building a ship worthy of such happiness? The Ming Dynasty even said a little harshly that we Chinese are all nations on the mainland. Until now, when we talk about our own territory, we are still 9.6 million square kilometers, and we have completely ignored the boundaries of our motherland.

Not only these Ming Dynasty soldiers think so, but even now many people are disdainful of the so-called sea power. Even these elite soldiers from Dengzhou have heard of the amazing profits brought by Dengzhou's sea business, but they still don't think that the sea ships are only important.

After Jiang Feng calmed down his excitement, he also saw the reactions of the young people around him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, if the iron dicks were around him, they would probably be as excited as him, because these iron dicks have been wandering on the sea, so they naturally know what the meaning of such a warship is.

He changed his tone and ordered:

"Leave two people to guard here, and a team of 100 people will come over. From now on, everyone's entry and exit must be recorded. We can try our best to meet their requirements, but we must not leave the surveillance's sight, otherwise there will be no mercy."

In the guards beside Jiang Feng, there is always a guard with fine charcoal and white paper. After this person quickly recorded Jiang Feng's orders and returned to his residence, these orders and arrangements will be immediately carried out by nearby troops and staff.

However, after returning to the mountain, these orders will be checked again in the hands of Liu Shier and Jiang Feng, deciding whether to supplement or cancel, etc.

The significance of this kind of warship is similar to that of corn on the mountain. It must be kept secret in order to be assured. Now shipyards in various parts of the Ming Dynasty have been revoked one after another. Many large ships are burned in the harbor, but they have to build large ships here and they are large warships. If they know what they will, they will not know how many of the crimes they have committed to beheading and extermination of the clan.

But at least I am considered to be ruthless. For people outside Dengzhou, there must be some doubts, but there is a problem of insufficient evidence, which can be regarded as a skeptical person. If the warship is known by others, I am afraid that I will be surrounded by heavy troops immediately.

These Dutch people who came from Spain, who were thought to be useless by themselves, actually brought corn and could also build large ships. Jiang Feng quickly took them seriously. When he returned to Yantai Mountain, he immediately asked whether he would increase the treatment of these foreigners with Liu Shier.

"My idea is to open up all the fields outside Qianhusuowu Fort as their residence."

Qianhu Suowu Fort and the periphery of Yantai Mountain are now a place where the family members of the trusted family can live. It has become a huge honor among the other four barracks in Dengzhou and Shandong. Now Tieding and some of the families of veterans can do this, and some are old craftsmen with skill and authority in the workshop. Living here is very convenient for life.

Moreover, it is very close to Jiang Feng’s residence. According to traditional thinking, the closer you are to a person with a high status, the higher you are, the higher you are, so it is natural to become an honor. Jiang Feng felt that these white people were really useful today, so he expressed such feelings.

Liu Shier was there watching the order recorded by the guard who was similar to the armed staff. He was also a little helpless now. He originally thought that he could be a counselor like Liu Bowen, but he did not expect that he was now doing the role of a master.

Jiang Feng’s actions are not very clever. He just relies on his own strength to reverse some things. If anyone blocks the way, he will kill him directly. The so-called winning people’s hearts and building a foundation is also so simple. It is to make money and give money to the people below to improve their treatment.

The method of making money is even simpler and more crude - monopoly, and the means to eliminate competitors are also physically eliminated. In other words, if I block my way to make money, I will be killed.

However, these have nothing to do with the strategies in the book, but they are so effective. At least they are of great use until now. However, at some point, the details still need to be modified by themselves, or there is a day when these strategies are still very useful.

Liu Shier thought of this and smiled bitterly, but the task still had to be done. He reminded Jiang Feng there:

"Sir, if you let the horse run, it's important to have grass in front of you..."

Jiang Feng was there and just one point. He patted his forehead with his hands and said with a smile:

"I was so happy that I forgot everything. I still follow the old rules and reward merits to avoid people's hearts being dissatisfied."

At this time, a tentman hurriedly walked into the account room outside. After the guard informed him, he walked into the main hall. After saluting Jiang Feng, he took out a list there and said:
