"What should we do? Our ship should have just arrived in Nanyang, and it will take at least two months to return!"

Several ministers jointly paid for the ship. In this case, we can only come together to discuss it.

So everyone came to the restaurant and found a private room to discuss the matter!

The minister named Liu has the highest official position here, so he is the first to speak!

"Hiss... This is not easy to handle. There were only a few indigenous people living in Yizhou before. The resources must be quite rich. Gems as big as eggs are not everywhere. It should be common to find pearls and gold nuggets on the beach!"

"That's right! We didn't catch the first wave when we developed Nanyang. This time we have to be ahead of the curve no matter what!"

"Who says it's not? Why is the ship in Nanyang at this time? Wouldn't it be missed again...?"

Several people who financed the purchase of steamships spoke out.

"It's definitely not possible to miss it. We have gathered everyone together today just to find a way to see how we can get a bite of Yizhou first!"

Minister Liu shook his head slightly and spoke with a serious expression.

"How about...send someone to take a ship to Nanyang to find our ship, and then go directly to Yizhou?"

A minister with a low official position spoke up.

Everyone is worried about this fat piece of meat in Yizhou, but the ship is not in Xianyang, so he can only think of this way!

"You must have seen His Majesty's map of the world. You should also know how big the Nanyang is. We don't know which island our ship is on. How can we find it if we go looking for it? Even if we can find it by coincidence, we probably won't find it.

It will take a few months. By then, the ship will be full of cargo and we will still have to return to Xianyang before we can set off for Yizhou again. It will still be a waste of time!"

After hearing this, the minister surnamed Liu immediately rejected it.

If you send someone to look for it, you might as well save some effort and wait in Xianyang with peace of mind!

"There is a telegraph station on the island, how about... let's send a telegram?"

"Where to fill in the address? The telegraph operators on the island will only send letters to those people who have immigrated and have fixed addresses. It is impossible to search for our ship all over Southeast Asia!"

Minister Liu shook his head helplessly.

Every one of them came up with bad ideas.

"Oh! It would be great if the telegraph machine could be sold to the outside world. Install a telegraph machine on our ship so that we can communicate and give orders anytime and anywhere!"

"Yes! It's a pity that telegraph machines are not for sale to the public!"

"Even if it is sold, it cannot be used by ordinary people. It must be professionally trained personnel!"

"Alas...! This won't work, and that won't work either. What should we do? Is it possible that we can just watch other people's steamships enter the sea and go to Yizhou to make money?"

The ministers thought for a long time, but could not come up with a usable idea, and their five senses were all tangled together.

"Master Liu, if you have any good ideas, please tell me!"

Finally, everyone's eyes were focused on Minister Liu.

This guy mercilessly rejected all their methods, which proves that this guy already has a plan in mind!

Just don't hide it and let them worry!

"Not really a good idea...!"

Minister surnamed Liu still had a leisurely attitude and said: "Now, we are definitely unable to contact our ship. There are only two ways in front of us, or to wait for our ship to come back in two months."

To go to Yizhou again, we either need to buy another boat, find a crew, and set off directly!"

His method has no technical content, it is simple and crude.

Either wait, or pay for it.

There is no way, their previous ship can no longer come back, that's all they can do!

"Forehead……"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock.

On the one hand, they are unwilling to give up Yizhou's wealth, and on the other hand, they are unwilling to spend money to buy ships!

You know, the last time they bought the steamship, the price had risen to 1.5 million gold.

I don’t know what the price is now!

Although I have made a lot of money in Nanyang in the past few years, after I became rich, my family's expenses were much higher than before!

I earn money there and spend almost all my money here. Now my family doesn’t have much money at all!

"Everyone should think about it first and decide whether to wait or pay!"

The big guy definitely couldn't make a decision so quickly on such a big matter, so he picked up the wine glass and drank first.

The guys exchanged glances and discussed in low voices. After a while, one of them raised his hand and spoke!

"Master Liu, we want to hear your opinion!"

"What I mean is that if we spend money to buy another steamship, even if Yizhou's wealth is not much, we will never lose anything, and even if the steamship is changed hands in the future, we will not lose anything!"

Minister Liu put down his chopsticks and expressed his opinion.

Afterwards, the ministers communicated again and nodded at the same time!

"Sure! Mr. Liu, we believe you, then we will pay for it!"

A minister nodded firmly.

"No! Don't say you believe me. I can't guarantee that I will make money. I'm just expressing my opinion!"

The minister surnamed Liu waved his hands repeatedly.

No one knows how much wealth there is in Yizhou, or even how they will make money after leaving!

Unlike Nanyang, His Royal Highness the Prince has clearly stated that there are endless spices there, and you will definitely make money if you go there!

“Everyone still needs to think carefully!”

"Mr. Liu, we have thought it over carefully. In the past, there were only some indigenous people living in Yizhou. There must be a lot of good things. If we wait for our ship to come back, they will be plundered by the first batch of people!"

"Yes! Everyone has made a lot of money in these years, so it shouldn't be a big problem to put together a boat!"

"As you said, even if you can't get rich suddenly, you will definitely have no problem getting back your money. Even if you don't go to Yizhou in the future, you can still go to Erzhou, Xianzhou and other places. Even if these areas are not profitable, you can still go back to Nanyang.

, at worst, we can still do transportation, no matter how much you think about it, you won’t lose!”

"That's right! Mr. Liu, let's pool our money together to buy a steamship, recruit a few crew members, and set off directly to Yizhou. Don't fall behind...!"

Han Xin led the army to conquer the world.

And Yizhou is not the only place on the world map.

After several other states are captured, they can still send ships.

The more ships there are, the more money you make.

Even if you invest some money now, it’s worth it!

After thinking about it this way, several people no longer felt distressed and immediately agreed to take the money!

"Okay! Then I'll contact the shipyard immediately to see what the current price of a steamship is!"

After several people discussed the result, the minister surnamed Liu agreed, picked up the wine glass, and drank it together with several others.
Chapter completed!
