The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"The factory is my exclusive place for industrial production in Ming Dynasty..." A person who looks like a foreman said with a simple smile: "The project in Tianjin is huge, and there are many factories. There are three steel factories, three There are four cement factories and four reinforced concrete factories. In addition, Mr. Yan Ge seems to be opening two shipyards along the coast soon. No, he is inspecting the construction site with those business tycoons and discussing the location of the shipyard. "

He pointed to the distance.

"So many factories?" Shakespeare was greatly shocked, staring at the factories that were billowing thick smoke and quickly blown away by the sea breeze.The blast furnace of the steel factory, the chimney of the cement factory, and the harsh sound of the reinforced concrete factory remind Shakespeare of the powerful vitality and productivity here.

Although Hashiba Hideyoshi was stunned and confused, he still had a stubborn mouth and said with a sneer, "What factory? How is it different from our Japanese workshop?"

"Japan? Workshop?" A sweaty steel factory worker passed by and smiled contemptuously: "How much steel do you produce a day? A workshop can produce 10 catties of steel a day, and two knives can be made. Is it the sky? Our steel factory, 4 Each blast furnace can produce more than 2 catties of steel a day! Four are 3 catties! Three steel plants can produce 30 catties a day! This production capacity is not enough. Boss Hu (Hu Xueyan) earns a lot He is full of ambitions and is preparing to jointly open the fourth steel factory 0.4 with the Shanxi Gang. This time there will be 10 large blast furnaces!"

Hashiba Hideyoshi was despised by ordinary workers and wanted to refute, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, so he had to knock down his teeth and swallow his blood, and swallowed his anger.

Because he knows very well that Japanese artisan workshops can only produce 10 catties of steel per day.Although the Baotou method they adopted, the quality of the steel made by repeated tempering is excellent, and it is used on cold weapons to make Japanese knives, which are invincible, but the less output is the less!

Only a samurai class like him can afford Japanese swords, and usually below the banner (the lowest level of samurai), they can only use bamboo pole spears!

And Daming, a mere factory in Tianjin, produces 30 jin of steel a day?

How strong is the national power of Ming Dynasty?

Hashiba Hideyoshi swallowed wildly.

Chapter 584 Building a shipyard, a screaming businessman [3]

On the beach, Yan Song is leading a large group of officials and business tycoons to discuss the settlement of the new shipyard.

I haven't seen you for five months, but Yan Song's demeanor is still the same, and he still looks like the sky is falling and the sky is falling. He said calmly to Hai Rui, Wang Jiaping, the top ten businessmen and the big businessmen of Ming Dynasty who followed him:

"The emperor read the notes on the progress of the project and was very happy. He specially ordered to reward several scientists who made great contributions, including geologist Xu Xiake, mathematician Cheng Dawei, Descartes, and architect Michelangelo. Li Shizhen, a medical scientist, also received a reward of 1 taels of silver. In particular, the Kuafu Chasing the Sun Lighthouse, the emperor specially ordered that Michelangelo be rewarded with the title of eighth-rank imperial painter."

Michelangelo was very unhappy: "Zhengbapin? Painter? Can that job be replaced by food?"

Yan Song rolled his eyes vigorously.

Hai Rui and the others looked helpless.

As far as Michelangelo's talent is concerned, they have been taught for 15 years. The lighthouse design of Kuafu chasing the sun alone is amazing, and it has greatly improved the image of Tianjin and Daming.

But this world-renowned talent has a problem with eating.Ever since I realized the beauty of Ming Dynasty cuisine, I went astray on a road of food and never looked back.

Every morning, rain or shine, the chief designer would appear in the canteen of the construction site, occupy the fried dough sticks stall, and wait eagerly for the fresh fried dough sticks to come out of the oven, and then take them away in a basket.Others eat by the root, but he eats by the basket.

Soy milk?Tofu brain?Others eat by the bowl, but he eats by the bucket.

His monthly salary is not a lot, 1000 taels of silver a month, which is more than that of a first-rank official in Ming Dynasty.But with such money, there is no leftover, and they all buy delicacies from all over the world.

So much money is spent, but it can't be said that it has no effect.

At least Michelangelo gained weight for two laps, almost catching up with his sculpture.

At this time, he should be called——

Big Fat Man Fat Foodie Michelangelo! !

Descartes teased him, saying that sooner or later he would be as fat as the statue of Kuafu.

Yan Song ignored the big fat Michelangelo's teasing and just said to himself:

"The progress of our project some time ago is also very impressive. The basic construction of the port is completed, the construction progress of the city can be completed by one third, the construction of the city wall is half completed, the open sea trade market has been completed, and the outline of the city has appeared."

"The conditions for opening the sea are basically met. In another month, we will open the sea!" Yan Song said slowly: "But before that, we will launch a diplomatic offensive this month to let Spain, Britain, Arabia, Japan, Korea, Mughal and other countries know that we are about to open the sea."

He glanced at the foreign envoys who were coming here, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "This, I will do it myself."

"What we are going to discuss now is the establishment of a modern shipyard in Tianjin."

"The emperor has already approved the establishment of a shipyard in Tianjin. The emperor has allowed us to set up two large shipyards in Tianjin as a shipping force for opening the sea. I wonder if you are interested?"

Yan Song looked at the Ming business tycoons.

These tycoons had bright eyes.

Before, some of them were bold enough to choose to cooperate with Yan Song to start a business, and they ended up making a lot of money from ear to ear, including Jinshang Huiliansheng, Zheshang Tiantonghui and so on.The situation is excellent.

There are also those who cooperated with Hu Xueyan and Qiao Zhiyong to open factories, and they are also making a lot of money in the face of the huge demand in Tianjin.

This made those businessmen who had a wait-and-see attitude at the beginning feel green with regret.

They are desperately looking for new opportunities, urging Yan Song to open more profitable businesses.

"This time, I will open the shipyard business to everyone, and open two shipyards at once!" Yan Song said lightly: "You can't say that I am partial."

The businessmen of Daming were overwhelmed with surprise, shaking their heads again and again, "Then how could it be? How could it be? Mr. Yan Ge is the most sympathetic to our businessmen. This shipyard is really a big business."

Yan Song smiled slightly: "Let Shen Wansan tell you about the demand analysis of this shipyard."

Shen Wansan has always been very active in Tianjin Kaihai, but everyone didn't expect that he was valued by Yan Song, and he was about to provoke the heavy burden of the Daming Ship King.

Shen Wansan smiled slightly and walked out: "Bosses, I am about to open the sea, so I don't need to elaborate on the demand of the shipyard. You are all business tycoons with keen eyesight and a keen sense of smell. You should be aware of the biggest demand in the future. , is a boat! a boat! a boat!”

The big tycoons of Ming Dynasty nodded fiercely.

Those who missed the first wave of sea-opening business (steel, finance, cement, engineering) are unwilling to miss the opportunity to make a fortune in shipping trade again.

Shen Wansan pointed to Tianjin Port: "I have calculated that a piece of raw silk sold to foreigners from Suzhou can only be sold for 40 taels of silver, which is of course twice as high as the 20 taels we sell to China. But you know, this raw silk sells for 643 taels of silver. In Japan, it can be sold for 100 taels in 120, in Goa of the Mughal Empire, it can be sold for 400 taels, and in Europe, it can be sold for [-] taels!"

Everyone gasped and discussed.

"It's no wonder that Europe is thousands of miles away from my Ming Dynasty. Those Spaniards and Arabs will come to my Ming Dynasty to do business! It turns out that they have made all the money of the dog days!"
