Chapter 108 The Future of Shipping

Li Miao wants to cultivate a group of cultured and high-quality talents to use for himself in the future. Of course, Li Miao values ​​martial arts, but he values ​​smart people who are good at doing things more. Apart from Zhuang Nu, Zhuang Hu is not Li Miao's.

Are you a human being? You are your own farmer, and Li Miao's kindness will soon be able to calm down.

Now the Northern Bureau alone has more than 300,000 taels of silver per month. The Southern Bureau is more, after all, the South is the commercial center of the Great Zheng Dynasty. Branches in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Wuxi, Changzhou and other places have been opened.

, the monthly turnover is more than 500,000 taels of silver.

You should know that all tea and spices are produced and sold by the inner space. Almost all are pure profits. There are more than 2 million taels of silver notes in the space. This is still Li Miao's request to all the main stores.

Participate in sales of more than 100,000 taels of silver. Branches shall not exceed 50,000 taels of silver.

The guards in the south have been trained to a scale of more than 300 people. Wang Doqi, the chief general of the Southern Bureau, wrote a letter to ask for instructions. At present, the guard forces are too wasteful and requested to form a transport fleet. Buy ships, and the guards in the south are the ones who can control the ships. Li Miao

Finally, I replied to agree.

Anyway, you can't use the money. Now you earn more than 700,000 taels of silver every month. Soon after you get a Jinshi fame, you will only have more money. Only by spending money can you become your strength, otherwise it will be a burden.

Now Li Miao can only take one step at a time, with sweet potatoes, corn, etc. in the space. Oh, there are still too many. You can only wait until the land is harvested here to carry some private goods. The area of ​​the space needs to be in about one month.

It has expanded. What to plant? This is a big problem. It seems that it has to determine the direction of development. It will definitely not work around the capital, and the impact is too great.

In fact, it was a little too early to form a fleet. It was exploited during transportation. It was a matter of the future. Li Miao felt that his current status and power were not enough. Even if he passed the Jinshi, he could not let go. He always made him a little stronger.

Unreliable taste.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Miao still wanted to promote high-quality crop seeds through seed sales, but it was obviously not feasible. Just like wheat and rice in his hometown, they can only go to villages one by one, then to villages, and then to villages.

Going to the county is a process. It seems that it is too urgent, because if someone doesn’t see the yield of your seeds, who dares to buy it?

Now, six or seven thousand acres of land have been purchased in Wanping and Tongzhou. High-quality seeds have been planted and pig breeding has been started. Now, after the bumper harvest in the second half of the year, there is no shortage of people coming to buy seeds.

It is also necessary to promote seeds through demonstration effects. Otherwise, your seeds in Li Miao’s inner space will be directly released, and the speed will be fast.

In this era of underdeveloped transportation and government orders not going to the countryside, the promotion of seeds can only be like this. Now Li Miao attaches most importance to seeds or sweet potatoes? This thing has high yields, and countless people live at critical moments, and is currently near the capital.

Only this is the only way to go. Be low-key and stay tuned.

Li Miao always felt that he had not done enough, so he came to discuss with Wang Yonggui. The southern fleet has been formed. It is back and forth between the north and south, and is constantly exploited by the canal transport channel. If you don’t exploit, who will you exploit? So Li Miao doesn’t expect it to make a profit.

How much money is withdrawn? Instead, the training team is the main focus. It lays a solid foundation for future maritime transportation reserves.

Li Miao said cautiously: "The future of the Great Zheng Dynasty is in shipping." Li Miao said in one sentence. Wang Yonggui thought for a long time. In other words, Li Miao was interested in shipping and wanted to hear Wang Yonggui's high opinions.

The Great Zheng Dynasty has basically been in seclusion for nearly a hundred years. It has been closed to the sea, with Japanese pirates in the coastal areas suffering from pirates, and pirates rampantly, and the current dynasty. Li Miao always feels that he still needs to do something.

Wang Yonggui thought for a long time and recalled, "The boss is actually in the south. It's not a secret. Many wealthy families have colluded with pirates, even..." To put it bluntly, isn't the imperial court forbidden the sea? Then pirates can smuggle them.

ah?

Because this cake is big, many wealthy and prominent families in the south also secretly participated. It still responded to the saying, wherever there is profit, there will be people going into it. So, the struggle began. Many families sent people to join the pirates.

In the end, he became a pirate or even a Japanese pirate.

After becoming a pirate, you can help those big families smuggle them. It brings huge wealth to those families. Pirates sometimes endanger coastal areas, killing people, setting fires, robbing property, and plundering women. Anyway, they do everything they want. Therefore, in the southern coastal areas

, The people suffer deeply from pirates.

Li Miao's current strength cannot control so many things in the south. He was thinking about promoting his high-quality seeds in Qingzhou, Shandong. Later, Shandong was a major province that produced sweet potatoes. That is, after Li Miao bought land in Qingzhou, he would sell it after a bumper harvest.

To the surrounding farmers and landlords, use this method to accelerate the promotion of high-quality seeds in the north.

After all, the Qingzhou area in Shandong is located in a coastal area and is still far from the capital. Qingzhou is still relatively poor now, with poor land and low grain output. It is a good place to plant and promote high-quality and high-yield crops in the north.

Moreover, Qingzhou is very backward now. It is not a prefecture, but is just a sixth-rank prefecture. It is a little higher than the county. However, the vaster the territory is, the six county prefectures under its jurisdiction are, but they are all very poor. It can be seen that Qingzhou is backward. The court itself is

Qingzhou also does not attach much importance to it, which is in line with Li Miao's strategy of low-key development.

After all, it is too big near the capital, which does not conform to his principle of being low-key. Qingzhou is also a coastal area and can develop shipping, which is also a good place.

So, Li Miao explained to Wang Yonggui. On the one hand, it was to buy land in Qingzhou, develop agriculture, and promote high-quality seeds in the north. On the other hand, it was to build sea ships. Start with small sea ships and slowly accumulate experience.

In addition, there is an island near Qingzhou. You have to pay more attention. It is best to take it down and take it for yourself. As your own rear. No one has paid attention to the island these days. People on land are so difficult to survive.

What's more, it's on the island.

Many islands in the south are occupied by pirates. In the north, the resources are even more barren, and they are basically uninhabited islands. If this island near Qingzhou is occupied by Li Miao, it can become Li Miao's own independent kingdom and do what he wants to do

, no need to hide it anymore.

What Li Miao is talking about now is just about using small sea ships to transport in coastal areas. It is not about ocean transport. Originally, with the Dazheng Chao shipbuilding technology, it could completely build large sea ships and develop ocean trade. But first, the political situation is unstable, and second,

The treasury is empty.

It has been nearly a hundred years since the ships were built. The original sea ships have long been gone.
