Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 447, the problem of the boat (additional meal)

Tianjin.

Cheng Bo'an, Zhu Benduan, Feng Xiang, and Ye Li walked leisurely in the streets and alleys of Tianjin New District, carefully observing this increasingly prosperous city.

Today's Tianjin City, especially this Tianjin New City, is very prosperous and lively.

There are many high-rise buildings here, and the surrounding buildings are almost all made of reinforced concrete. Basically, there are seven or eight floors. Buildings with seven or eight floors are naturally nothing in later generations, but in this era, they are properly high-rise buildings.

The land in Tianjin New City is basically monopolized by Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao, so the planning here is also neat and tidy. The roads extend in all directions, all of which are cement roads, and they are very clean and tidy.

On both sides of the street are restaurants, teahouses, restaurants, shops, etc., basically using a lot of glass and glass products for decoration, which has a sense of trend that is different from this era.

When they came here, Cheng Bo'an and Zhu Benduan felt that they were country bumpkins, they came from the countryside, they looked around curiously as if they had never seen the world.

"This city of Tianjin really lives up to its reputation. It is indeed extremely prosperous."

Cheng Bo'an said with some sighs, coming here is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, it is dazzling to see, originally several people are dressed in extraordinary clothes, but they feel like bumpkins.

People here in Tianjin New City are popular to wear short hair, shaved beard, and short jacket and shorts, because these are the standard equipment for sailors who go to sea. Shorts are actually the clothes and pants of the later generations, compared to the robes of this era, they are shorts and shorts, not the shorts and shorts of later generations).

Because the sailors who go to sea are all representatives of high-income groups, all of them are very rich, which naturally drives the atmosphere in Tianjin.

This has been the case since ancient times. Talents with money and status can form a trend and drive the atmosphere.

The crew's income is high, and their status is gradually improving, so they can naturally play a leading role.

"I heard that it costs thousands of taels of silver to buy a house here in Tianjin New City."

Zhu Benduan followed suit.

"Thousands of taels of silver? Sanjin's courtyards in the capital don't need thousands of taels of silver, do they?"

When Feng Xiang on the side heard it, he couldn't help exclaiming immediately.

"No need, but the houses here in Tianjin are so expensive. Have you seen the billboard?"

Zhu Benduan nodded, and then pointed to the billboard hanging on the side of the street in front of him. This billboard is clearly an advertisement for Tianjin Real Estate. One thousand two hundred taels of silver! '

"One thousand two hundred taels of silver?"

"Can this house be sold?"

Ye Li looked at the billboard and was dumbfounded. Who would buy such an expensive house?

"Not only can it be sold, but it's also sold very hotly. I heard that you have to rob to buy it."

"You may not know that Moon Bay is the most famous place in Tianjin New City. Liu Jin and the crown prince both have residences here, and rich people from all over Tianjin gather here."

"Those who run factories and workshops in Tianjin, as well as various businessmen, and those sailors who go to sea, they are all very rich, and they are rushing to buy these houses."

"In addition, there are some rich people from all over Ming Dynasty. The house in Tianjin is getting higher and higher, and the price is getting higher and higher."

Zhu Benduan smiled and shook his head, it was really hard to understand, but these were all the things he asked people to find out.

Such an expensive house can not only be sold, but also sold very hotly, which is unbelievable.

"Let's not talk about this, find a place to drink tea and discuss things."

Cheng Bo'an shook his head slightly, but he still didn't understand these things. Wouldn't it be good to buy some land with so much money?

Soon, the four of them came to a restaurant, asked for a private room by the window, ordered a pot of tea and some snacks, while drinking tea, watched the busy traffic below, and chatted, which seemed to be a kind of enjoyment.

"Feng Xiang, how did your talk with Tianjin Shipyard go?"

The first thing Chen Boan asked was about the ship. Since Du Mingen emphasized the importance of the ship so much, although the ship from Tianjin Shipyard was expensive, he still wanted to buy it in order to earn money.

"The price of ships at Tianjin Shipyard has increased, and the number of ships capable of ocean-going sailing has risen to [-] taels a boat, and a deposit of [-] taels of silver needs to be paid in advance before queuing up for production."

Feng Xiang shook his head slightly and said.

Today, he went to Tianjin Shipyard to talk about buying a ship. He has gained a lot of experience. The ocean-going ship worth [-] taels is like cabbage. Order a few ships, several ships in the past.

"A piece of two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

"Do you need to pay a deposit first, and then queue up for production?"

When the others heard it, they were slightly surprised and said.

"Yes, two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver for a car, first pay the deposit, and then line up for production, and now it's already scheduled for next year."

Feng Xiang nodded and said.

"They are the only ones in the world who can build ships. It doesn't matter how expensive they are, but they don't have them in stock yet, and they have to pay a deposit to queue up for production."

Ye Li immediately couldn't help complaining.

"There are many shipyards here in Tianjin, such as Zhang's Shipyard, Li's Shipyard, Hongyuan Shipyard, etc. There are more than a dozen large and small shipyards, but everyone has said that the ships of Tianjin Shipyard it's the best."

Feng Xiang told what he knew.

"How come there are so many shipyards that other shipyards cannot build ocean-going ships?"

Cheng Bo'an also asked.

"Yes, other shipyards also have ocean-going ships, fishing boats, whaling ships, etc., but it is said that the quality is not very good, and the quality is far inferior to that of Tianjin Shipyard."

Feng Xiang said.

"What about the price, how much does it cost?"

Ye Li asked hastily.

"Ocean-going ships from other shipyards are cheaper. You can buy one for only [-] taels of silver, and some shipyards still have stock. Even if they are queued for production, they only need to wait a month or two."

"However, Didn't Lord Hou say that you must use the ship from Tianjin Shipyard to go to Huangjinzhou, because their ship quality is the most reliable, and many sailors who went to sea also said that the ship from Tianjin Shipyard is of the best quality."

Feng Xiang replied.

"They're all ocean-going ships. The poor quality shouldn't be a problem. The [-] taels of silver will not be available until next year. By then, the day lily will be cold, and others may have already bought the goods from Gold." Side is back."

Zhu Benduan shook his head slightly and said.

"Yes, you can also go and see the ships of other shipyards. They are all ocean-going ships. Even if they are a little short, they should not be too far behind."

Ye Li also followed suit.

"With so much money, we can build a shipyard here in the south of the Yangtze River and build a ship by ourselves. Isn't it just shipbuilding? How difficult can it be?"

Cheng Bo'an thought about it and expressed his support.

"That's what I'm going to say. You can do whatever you want. We southerners have always been good at shipbuilding. In the future, we will also build a few shipyards in the south, so we don't need to ask them in the future."

Feng Xiang nodded. This ship is too expensive to sell. In fact, a few thousand taels of silver is enough to build a ship. Selling tens of thousands of taels is a huge profit. Tianjin Shipyard is lucky, and it sells for [-] taels It's too dark for two silver coins.

"How about we go and see the ships of other shipyards first?"

Cheng Boan thought for a while and suggested.

"Okay, let's take a look first~"

"I heard that the ships of this Zhang's shipyard are very good. They are the first batch of shipyards established in Tianjin, and Zhang's shipyard is still the industry of two brothers, Jianchangbo and Shouninghou. The fishing boats of Zhang's shipyard And whalers are also selling well."

Feng Xiang nodded, and then he also mentioned Zhang's Shipyard.

"The Zhang brothers' shipyard?"

"Shou Ning Hou, Jian Chang Bo?"

When the others heard this, they were slightly surprised. Of course they knew the names of the Zhang brothers, but they didn't expect that they also had their own shipyard.

"The Zhang brothers have a lot of industries, because they have their own shipyards, and the Zhang brothers have their own fishing fleet, including a pair of whaling ships, all of which are large in scale, and there are also several caravans dedicated to North Korea and Japan. , the business is doing great."

"In Tianjin and Beijing, there are also coal factories, cement factories and textile factories run by the Zhang brothers. The business is very big, and it is said that they have made a lot of money."

"In the past, I heard that the Zhang brothers always drank porridge, but now it is said that they can eat four dishes and one soup every once in a while."

Feng Xiang smiled and nodded, and then told some anecdotes about the Zhang brothers.
