Nine hundred and thirteenth chapter no loss

Whaling is something that everyone has seen more than once on the way here.

Whales in the ocean just look scary.

In fact, they are no different from cattle and sheep on land.

Once hit by human weapons, there is basically no possibility of survival.

Relatively speaking, compared with hunting, the transportation, slaughtering and refining after killing may be more troublesome.

But that doesn't matter.

Just because everyone is incapable of transporting, slaughtering and refining whales doesn't mean that others can't, let alone the imperial court.

The worst case scenario is that after the whales are hunted, they are sold at a low price.

For example, a whale that was originally worth hundreds of thousands of dollars can be sold to a capable person for twenty to thirty thousand dollars.

One whale is worth tens of thousands, ten whales are worth hundreds of thousands.

Just be more diligent and work harder.

Getting rich is not a dream!

Once every three years, you can earn hundreds of thousands a year, which is enough for everyone to have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives!

So the key is, can the stern ship of Lord ‘Doctor’ have the ability to hunt whales?

Although the ships of the Han Dynasty have always been divided into stern ships and high-rise ships.

However, in the two branches of Xuanxuan and Louchuan.

The sizes are never equal.

The largest building ship of the Han family is several feet high and dozens of feet long. It is anchored in the port and looks like a hill.

But the smallest building ship may not be as good as a civilian passenger ship.

In the stern ship, the situation is even more exaggerated.

The big ones are more than ten feet long and can travel across the rivers and lakes.

The smaller one may be a small sampan, which will capsize as soon as the waves hit it.

"Captain..." someone asked, "How big of a boat can this doctor rent?"

"Then it depends on how much you can pay for the lease..." Xu Ji smiled slightly: "If you can afford the price, you can lease the ship as much as possible!"

"Just like the whaling ship rented by Long Luhou, one year old costs one thousand gold!"

This is because Chen Jiao is a relative of the emperor!

Moreover, 30% of the final product extracted from the whales caught by Chen Jiao must be handed over to the Lou Chuan Yamen as a reward for hiring sailors of the Lou Chuan fleet!

That's why it's so cheap.

If it's someone else, let's not say whether it can be rented.

Even if you can rent it, the annual rental fee for such a big ship is at least three thousand gold!

There is no other reason than that such a giant ship needs the best sailors and captains to control it.

Since entering the Lou Chuan Yamen, Xu Ji has deeply realized how terrible the cost of the Lou Chuan fleet is!

Apart from other things, qualified sailors and captains are each made with money.

Due to its nature, this labor cost is almost negligible.

However, Lou Chuan wants to continue to grow, develop and prosper, and eventually realize his naval dream.

The treatment and salary should be on par with those on land, or even surpass them!

Only in this way can we attract the best talents and the best warriors.

Otherwise, if it were like now, a captain in charge of a large ship would only receive the same salary as a commander in the Han army.

The annual salary is only 800 dan, and with allowances and subsidies, it is enough for the family, wife and children to live a well-off life. If you want your children to go to school, your life will basically be tight.

Therefore, in the past, the building and ship officers of the Han army would go to other armies whenever they had the opportunity.

It was not until the establishment of Lou Chuan Jiangjun Yamen that such things gradually became less common.

But the best military officers and talents still couldn't help but leave the country.

However, it takes five or even ten years of careful cultivation to train a captain in a building.

Especially after the ship moves towards the ocean, such outstanding talents will become even more precious.

Last year, more than half of the revenue earned by the Hanshilou Shipping Office on the Heishui River in Xinhua was invested in raising the salaries of sailors and captains.

But that little money is just a drop in the bucket.

After the Mayi War, it triggered a massive brain drain in the Louchuan Yamen.

Especially among the officers under Xu Ji's Incheon Captain...

In just three months, five captains and more than a dozen deputy captains of large ships were poached.

The Chen Jiao brothers, the King of Han, and the King of North Korea all waved five baht coins and gold and tried their best to poach people.

It was precisely because of this crisis that Xu Ji came up with this idea.

We want to retain talents and recruit talents.

If you are a landlord, your salary will be improved.

But if you want to improve your salary, you need money!

There are now more than 50,000 officials and soldiers in Louchuan Yamen.

Even if the average salary increase per person is 100 yuan, it will cost 5 million!

Xu Ji had no choice but to come up with this idea.

Borrow the nobles and nobles of the princes and the world's financial resources to support the buildings and ships.

Therefore, in fact, the so-called leasing and the so-called fish war are all just a cover.

The real purpose is to let people from all over the world come to rent the warships of the building and go out to sea to hunt whales.

Then, sit on the boat and reap the profits.

For example, Chen Jiao needed more than 400 people, including the captain and sailors, to help him operate the whaling ship he rented.

Naturally, Chen Jiao pays for the salaries, salaries, and welfare subsidies of these people.

When all the nobles and wealthy businessmen from all over the world come to hunt whales, the Louchuan Yamen will be able to have an interest relationship with them.

While acquiring massive wealth and resources to support oneself, one can develop and strengthen oneself at the same time.

One day in the future, Xu Ji believes that Lou Chuan Yamen will make everyone in the world stunned and then worship him.

"National wealth comes from the sea, and dangers also come from the sea. The Han Dynasty cannot live without sea defense for a day!" Xu Ji took the famous sayings of his uncle when he was on an expedition to North Korea and said to the crowd: "You all have responsibilities. The most important thing in the family, country, and society is that you are the pioneer of building ships. Please accept my worship!"

Xu Ji bowed his head as he spoke.

This fish war is not just a pretense.

It is the meaning and symbol of the current existence of the building ship.

Why did the Han Dynasty build such a huge army?

Of course, it is to protect the country and the people from foreign invasion. At the same time, use the sword of the Han army and the sword of the Han cavalry to obtain land for the plowshares of the Han family!

By the same token, the purpose of the existence of building ships at present is definitely to protect whales and fish in the world from poaching by others.

Xu Ji can now think of a slogan: Where there are Han fishing boats, that is where the Han fishing boats patrol.

We are the defenders of the Han fishermen and the protectors of the Han waters.

I am the wings of the emperor and the shield of all peoples!

Is there any more inspiring slogan than such rhetoric?

there is none left!

However, I want people all over the world to recognize this slogan.

It would require the Han family's waters to be filled with countless fishing boats.

It is necessary to make every noble minister, duke, prince, and relative have interests in Louchuan Yamen.

In this way, shouting slogans can be done logically and confidently.

Otherwise, who will listen to you?

And these people in front of me, like Chen Jiao, are the pioneers and experimental subjects of the building ship policy.

Therefore, Xu Ji was very solemn in this prayer.

……………………………………………………

At the same time, on the so-called 'Cheng'en' island named by Chen Jiao.

Hundreds of Han soldiers and more than a thousand servants from Zhenfan and Mahan, driving thousands of Japanese slaves, were cutting down forests and building camps on the island.

Specially built huge stoves have been set up all over the island.

Chen Jiao raised her horse and whipped her whip, looking at the scenery of the island, and said proudly: "This is an island of never-ending gold!"

This island is only a few dozen miles away from the place where whales live in Yuanhai.

At the speed of the Fuzhou boat, it only takes two hours to go back and forth.

Not to mention, he had just ordered a whaling ship that almost wiped out his wealth.

But, in Chen Jiao’s opinion, it’s worth it!

"I have invested so much money, the emperor should not let Chen Xu and others die in a short period of time..." Chen Jiao thought in her heart: "Even if the emperor agrees, Chen Xu and Liu Ming may not have such courage. !”

Chen Xu and Liu Ming might be willing to spend a lot of money just to have a beautiful woman smile.

But he definitely didn’t have the courage to invest thousands of gold and pay the high welfare and subsidies for the Han fleet officers to hunt whales here.

Only he, Chen Jiao, had personally seen and witnessed the huge group of whales and endless schools of fish in the waters near the Yuanhai and the Wonu Islands, so he was willing to take this book.

"If I can't earn tens of thousands of gold a year, how can I have the nerve to meet the emperor?" Chen Jiao laughed proudly in her heart.

In his opinion, although he had spent a lot of money, he had successfully blocked his two biggest competitors and others for at least a year.

One year was enough for him to take over the two islands of Cheng'en and Shunde as his own, and at least mark all the places on the islands that were convenient for smelting whale oil and slaughtering whales.

In this way, even if Chen Xu and Liu Ming want to make a fortune in the future.

But I can only pay for myself.

In this way, even if you can't compete with others in hunting whales, you can still make money by relying on the slaughterhouses and smelting bases on these two islands.

As long as there are whales and schools of fish near Yuanhai and Wonu Island, he and his descendants will have no worries about wealth.

But, now that she has reached this point, Chen Jiao certainly doesn't just want wealth.

He cast his sights towards the distant island of Japanese slaves, which was full of ignorance and primitiveness.

He remembered that before last winter, when he sent people to the island to search for Japanese slaves for the last time, he received information that someone had found several stranded ships in a bay somewhere on the Japanese slave island.

Judging from the style, it is undoubtedly the style of Qi ships more than a hundred years ago.

"Legend has it that Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to take three thousand boys and girls out to sea, across the sea, and to search for overseas fairy mountains..."

"It seems that although the fairy mountain has not been found, Xu Fu has probably found the island of Japanese slaves!"

"Then, behind closed doors, you will become king and dominate?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Poor Emperor Shi Huang was thinking about Xu Fu's elixir until his death..."

Of course, it's not necessarily the wreckage of Xu Fu's fleet.

It may also be the nobles of the Qi people who went to sea to escape the war in the past years.

But in any case, this is something worth investigating.

If it is the former and Xu Fu's descendants are caught, Xu Fu, who went to sea with the fleet back then, brought countless treasures with him.

This can make a fortune!

Anyway, on that Japanese slave island, no matter what Chen Jiao did, Chang'an would not know about it.

If it's the latter, rescuing and bringing back the Chinese nobles lost overseas will give them a wave of reputation!

We can also use these compatriots to carefully investigate and understand the size and ethnic groups of the Japanese slave islands, so as to better capture the Japanese slaves!

No matter what happens, Chen Jiao will not lose anything! (~^~)
