Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 446, Du Mingen's suggestion

In the living room, it is natural for everyone to greet each other when they meet. They are all from Jiangnan, and some of them even knew each other before, so they are considered acquaintances.

Cheng Bo'an, Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang, and Ye Li looked at each other, and immediately understood each other's eyes, so Cheng Bo'an smiled and said: "Master Hou, is this Golden Continent really the same as the newspapers said, everywhere? Is it all gold?"

Although the Daming Morning Post is only published in the Beijing-Tianjin area and has not spread to other places in the Ming Dynasty, its influence is gradually emerging.

Some people will send several issues of the Morning Post to various places in Ming Dynasty on a regular basis. The local feudal officials in various places, as well as the gentry and businessmen in various places, are also very fond of the Ming Morning Post, because through the Daming Morning Post. A lot of information.

Although it has been at least ten days and a half months late since the Ming Morning Post was shipped to these places, it is still acceptable in this era.

The Ming Morning Post reported the fleet's detailed route and everything they encountered. They also conducted careful research, but they still wanted to hear what Du Mingen had to say.

Du Mingen personally led the fleet to the Golden Continent, so his words are naturally more credible.

"It is definitely impossible to have gold everywhere, but compared to our Ming Dynasty, it can be said that there is gold everywhere. Our fleet has traveled all the way, and we have discovered more than ten gold and silver mines alone. , you should know how many gold and silver mines there are in the Golden Continent."

"Our fleet doesn't have much time to conduct large-scale exploration. If we can have enough time and manpower, we can definitely discover more gold and silver mines. It is actually not at all to describe the Golden Continent as full of gold and silver." Not too much."

Du Mingen thought for a while and replied slowly.

"That's it~"

Hearing Du Mingen's words, several people nodded slightly. They could accept this explanation. There are many gold mines and silver mines, and they can be found everywhere. Gold and silver are everywhere.

"My lord, the Inca Empire mentioned in the newspaper, did they really use gold and silver to build houses?"

"Is it true that a few bolts of silk can be exchanged for a shipment of gold and silver?"

Zhu Benduan thought about it and asked.

"This is true, because I presided over the trade with the Inca Empire. The Inca Empire is the most powerful country among the descendants of the Shang Dynasty, with a large population. The key is that the area where the Inca Empire is located is rich in gold and silver. There are a lot of gold and silver mines in this area.”

"I also did see houses built with gold and silver in the cities of the Inca Empire."

Du Mingen nodded and said, there is nothing to hide about this. Everyone in the fleet has been there and knows this. The Inca Empire has too much gold and silver. They easily changed to ten ships Gold and silver brought back.

"Tear~"

Hearing Du Mingen's words, several people gasped. There was so much gold and silver that they were used to build houses. I'm afraid no one knows how much gold and silver is here.

Then the eyes of the few people were also slightly red. How could they not be tempted to earn so much money so easily?

"Master Hou, to be honest, the few of us are here on behalf of the Jiangnan business community. We want to invite Lord Hou to be the leader. Can we take the big guy to make a fortune?"

Cheng Boan pondered for a while, thought for a while and then spoke.

"Haha, everyone really praised me too much. I don't dare to be the leader, I dare not be the leader~"

When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately smiled and shook his head.

It is not so easy to be a leader, he still understands the truth of shooting the leader.

"Master Hou is humble, this leader is definitely the queen~"

"Master Hou, you are now a legend of our Ming Dynasty, and we are from Jiangnan. You are the most suitable leader."

Feng Xiang also followed suit.

"Yes, yes, Lord Hou, you are the most suitable leader, and we Jiangnan people will support it."

Ye Li also followed suit.

"Thank you for your praise, but I really can't be the leader. After going to sea this time, I don't plan to go to sea in a short time, so if everyone wants to go to the Golden Isle to make a fortune, I'm afraid I still have to hire someone else. .”

Du Mingen shook his head again and again, but his head was still awake.

Hearing Du Mingen's words, several people were silent for a while, but after thinking about it, they were relieved. After earning nine million taels of silver, and now being named Marquis, it can be said that life is complete. Who would go to sea to suffer hardships?

"Master Hou, if we want to go to the Golden Continent, what should we do?"

Cheng Bo'an understood that it was impossible to get Du Mingen to come forward. In this case, he could still ask Du Mingen for advice on this experience.

"If you want to form a fleet to go to Golden Island, remember three points. First, you must buy ships from Tianjin Shipyard. Only the ships built by Tianjin Shipyard are of good quality."

"Secondly, we must invite people who graduated from Tianjin Maritime Academy to lead the voyage. Without them, we will not be able to reach the Golden Isle. No matter how expensive the salary is, we must invite them."

"Third, it is best to adopt a dividend system, which means that a certain percentage of the silver earned will be distributed to these crew members. Generally speaking, at least [-]% will be given."

"As long as these three points are achieved, the rest can be handled according to the rules of going to sea, and there will be no problem with the storage."

Du Mingen pondered for a while, and after thinking about it, he gave his own suggestion.

In Du Mingen's view, the most important thing is that they have mastered the most advanced navigation technology of this era. The crew trained by Tianjin Maritime Academy are definitely the best navigators of this era. Going to Tianjin Shipyard to manufacture ships is naturally smooth sailing.

Ten ships went to the Golden Continent, and the ten ships came back with no one missing. They successfully completed the task and brought back a huge wealth of [-] million taels of silver.

It simply wouldn't be possible without these great crews and quality boats.

"Do you have to buy a ship from Tianjin Shipyard?"

When Zhu Benduan heard this, he frowned immediately. The ships of Tianjin Shipyard are notoriously expensive. Ordinary fishing boats and whaling boats cost tens of thousands of taels a piece. The asking price is [-] taels of silver, which is no different from robbing silver.

"That's right, the Dafu boat you used when you went there shouldn't be built by Tianjin Shipyard, right?"

Ye Li also followed suit.

"The ten Dafu ships were not built by Tianjin Shipyard, but they were rebuilt here. If they hadn't been remodeled by Tianjin Shipyard, it is estimated that half of the ten ships can come back."

Du Mingen nodded slightly and said.

"I have already found out about the ocean-going ships in Tianjin Shipyard. One ship costs two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is really too expensive. If you want to build a fleet of ships, it will cost two million taels of silver to buy ten ships. , the investment is too great."

Feng Xiang couldn't help shaking his head slightly and said.

"It costs two million taels of silver just to buy a ship, and there are other expenses in other aspects. This manpower is relatively easy to recruit, but if it takes [-]% of the income, will it be too high? In a year, If you give a few hundred taels of silver, you should be able to hire someone who graduated from Tianjin Maritime Academy, right?"

Zhu Benduan was also admired by his side, and then said very stingily.

For people like them, they are still used to the previous way of thinking, and for those who are bitter and low-level, they naturally try their best to exploit them.

In their view, hiring someone to go to sea and paying a few hundred taels of silver a year is already a sky-high price. This is because they found out that the salaries of the crew in Tianjin are very high.

If it wasn't for this, they even felt that a few dozen taels of silver would be enough.

"I've said what I should say. As for how to operate it, that's up to you."

When Du Mingen heard what they said, he smiled and said nothing.

It's good to say some things once, but it's up to them to believe it or not.

Do you want to hire people from Tianjin or the academy to go to the Golden Island for you for a few hundred taels of silver?
Just dream, even if they walk around North Korea and Japan, they will earn at least a few hundred taels of silver a year. Even the crews of the fishing boats responsible for fishing are all high-income people. A few hundred taels of silver a year is not difficult.

Mr. Liu Jin and Mr. Liu made a good start. He took the lead first and created a system of benefit sharing. Whether it is fishing or going to sea for business and trade, the crew can share a certain percentage of the benefits.

Because of this system, a lot of troubles are reduced. The crew members all know that whether it is fishing at sea, or doing business in Japan or North Korea, the more money they earn, the more they can earn.

Naturally, they are more attentive and motivated. As for the donors who contributed money, although they earn a little less, they are also more at ease, not afraid that the crew will swallow their goods and wealth.

In this way, a virtuous circle mechanism can be formed, and everyone can enjoy their own piece of cake in this interest chain, implement a win-win situation, and promote the development of the entire industry.

Now you want to go to the Golden Continent to make money. Since you don’t want to pay the crew and the salary is low, who will do it for you?
