The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

I heard that the sailing battleship that the military is building day and night alone is worth 300 million taels of silver!Still can't bargain!

Spanish galleon, as a low-end warship, of course, the cost is not that high, but there is always 100 million, right?

One million, how much is one hundred?

One billion!

One hundred million silver!

This cake is so big that it makes people's eyes green.

You must know that capital is inherently profit-seeking, and wherever there is money, it will flow there.As long as there are enough interests, even if it is murder, arson, or taking risks, it will not hesitate.

When these shareholders heard that such a large order was waiting for them, they immediately lost their composure and shouted one after another.

"Old Yan Ge, is what you said true?"

"With so many orders, can they be opened to our civilian shipyards?"

"If that's the case, we'll make an investment right away! Absolutely!"

"Can you sign an agreement of intent first and give us some orders?"

These Ming businessmen were all very shrewd, and they immediately seized upon hearing such a good opportunity.

But soon, the shareholders, bosses, and treasurers of the other two private shipyards also heard the news and surrounded Yan Song.

"Old Yan Ge, I heard that you stated that the military shipyard is too busy, so you just give us the order?"

"Our Binhai Shipyard can do it! Give us the order!"

"Fart!" Liu Cunshan couldn't help cursing: "You are all latecomers, can the shipbuilding ability be comparable to ours? This order is also for us!"

As a result, the bosses of the three private construction shipyards quarreled.

These rich merchants and wealthy businessmen are all not good people, and they all have their own backers in Daming, and they have extraordinary power.

When it comes to the military shipbuilding cake with a quantity of hundreds of millions of days, there is nothing to care about.Even father and son brothers, as long as the investment is not in a shipyard, they can't wait to fight face to face.

This is what Yan Song wanted.

The reason why he encouraged the establishment of several shipyards is to generate enough competition.

According to modern market theory, competition will bring benefits, increased efficiency, and improved services.

The procurement cost of the military will also be greatly reduced.

"Okay, okay, everyone." Yan Song looked indifferent, and waved his hands to signal the calmness of all parties: "This military purchase order of hundreds of millions still needs to be submitted to the emperor for approval. So don't get excited. Even if the imperial court studies The decision to release such a large military order and allow private shipyards to accept orders must also be conducted in the form of public bidding-bidding, to ensure that everything is fair, just and open, and to prevent black-box operations."

Hearing Yan Song's words, everyone looked confused.

"What is a tender? Bidding?"

"I've never heard of it."

"There are always so many new things in Yan Ge's mind."

"Whatever it is, anyway, Mr. Yan Ge, you must - remember us."

Yan Song turned around and left, otherwise he would be annoyed to death by these people.

Yu Dayou asked suspiciously: "Mr. Yan Ge, why do you want them to make warships for the military? Will there be no problem with the quality?"

Yan Song said indifferently: "Don't worry! The quality requirements of Spanish galleons are far lower than those of sailing battleships. In general shipyards, as long as two or three veteran boatmen from military shipyards are poached, they can make them almost indistinguishable from each other. These people compete with each other to lower the price. It will reduce the procurement cost. Besides, the military needs a lot of warships to build a powerful navy. This cabinet has estimated that if you are equipped with 20 sailing battleships, you need to be equipped with 40 Spanish galleons accordingly. Only in this way can the court support it A powerful navy of sufficient strength."

Peter Payne admired Yan Song's foresight, and praised: "Exactly! Even in England, because the first-class battleships are expensive, each costing as much as 10 pounds, there are only about 10 ships in active service in the British Royal Navy. Basically, it is used as the flagship of the fleet or a spiritual symbol of a small amount of manufacturing and equipment. However, the second- and third-tier battleships will be built in large quantities by various countries. The British main fleet has 170 warships, of which 117 are the smallest third-tier battleships. overall strength."

Yu Dayou suddenly realized: "Yes, no matter how good the sailing battleship is, the court can't build too many at such a high cost. Instead of waiting so long, it's better to match the high and low, using the sailing battleship as the fist, and the Spanish galleon as the minion, so that it can be executed. Various naval battles, landings, colonization missions."

"Below the Spanish galleon, I would like to equip you with some warships with lower configuration. The cost is less than 30 taels." Yan Song shrugged: "It is not a problem to hand over these small boats to civilian shipyards."

Listening to Yan Song, Yu Dayou and Peter Payne discussing the blueprint for building the Ming Navy, Li Chenggui and Li Sunchen looked at each other.

No comparison, no harm.

The Daming Navy, no, after seeing that giant ocean beast, it should be called the navy. They have spent so much money and built a large ocean-going fleet at such a high speed, what about Korea?

Gaoli Nima can't even build the smallest warship.

If Li Chenggui still had ghosts and small ideas before, they are completely gone now.

He was even more determined to hug Daming's father's thighs tightly, um, let's start by hugging the "son-in-law"'s thick thighs!

He pulled Li Xiaoli over and told him: "Daughter, Mr. Yan Ge, you have to put more thought into it in the future..."

Li Xiaoli Xiafei's cheeks were filled with shame.

The dignified lord of the country actually ordered his daughter to serve a man...

However, Li Xiaoli looked at Yan Song on the sailing battleship, looked forward to his heroic appearance, and Fang had already secretly promised...

Such a man is the true dragon emperor that I, Li Xiaoli, was destined to be.

After visiting the shipyard and caring about the Daming shipbuilding industry, Yan Song was dragged away by Xu Guangqi, Descartes, Cheng Dawei and Hu Xueyan.

This group of four is the research and development team of Daming's new artillery.
