And this "not the same" does not mean that there is something wrong with Wang Jing's plan, but that the whole thing actually conflicts with what Wang Jing said.
Because everyone did not want to return to the old business, they decided to start a wave of pirate business again during the Renaissance, so they started intelligence work.
Rather, first because they planned to defect to the Romans after a while, and then because the investment in this intelligence work was too great, and everyone wanted to regain blood, they reopened the pirate business.
That's right, the idea of buying ships and plundering the coast is still the same. Compared with what Wang Jing and others did before, there is no change.
but!
The thing itself has not changed, but the cause has.
In the past, we engaged in marine business innovation - that is, buying ships and establishing an organized pirate team. It was an independent decision and had nothing to do with anything else. It was only about profit.
But this time, it was because I had already done intelligence work that I decided to engage in pirate business.
There seems to be no difference between the two, but in fact there is.
The latter, compared to the former, is more "logical" and more "reasonable"!
Naturally, it is certainly more convincing. However...
Things in the world are not just things that make people think they are reasonable.
The reason why human beings fear the unknown is precisely because... in the face of unknown and brand-new things, the more reasonable and logical things are, the more unreasonable, unfounded and logical they are...
This is the power of new things. This thing can make illogical things become logical. For example, humans cannot fly in the sky. This is obviously illogical. How can humans fly?
But the emergence of airplanes just allowed humans to fly in the sky.
Correspondingly, if there are no airplanes or other flying vehicles, the most reasonable way for people to travel is by various vehicles and ships.
The so-called "car and boat, foot and shop", no matter what the next sentence is, in short, human beings have long had common sense: the most reasonable way to travel is by car and boat.
But when airplanes appeared, this logical common sense became a mistake...
Naturally, Wang Jing and others did not expect that their finally experienced level of maritime warfare would encounter a new situation...
Deep in the Pacific Ocean of Blue Star, something more comes out.
…
When Datang built steel warships before, it took half a year, but this time.
Li Er personally ordered the establishment of the project, and also spent countless money and food from the treasury on the project.
Li Er's original plan was for half a year, or at most eight months, but when the new ship was quietly launched, it actually took an extra month.
Of course, Li Er was not a member of the legal class of the Qin Dynasty, and if he opened his mouth, he would be beheaded if he missed the deadline.
Not only that, all the craftsmen in the new shipyard in Port Saint-Jermain.
After this new ship sailed into the sea, all of them were highly rewarded by the court without exception!
Even the old men and women who were responsible for sanitation and miscellaneous work in the shipyard were rewarded.
That's right, a reward directly from the imperial court!
This can also be regarded as the first of its kind. In the long history of China since the Qin and Han Dynasties, because the glory of the Qin and Han Dynasties was too dazzling, China has attached great importance to such things as "merit".
"Rewards", especially those coming directly from the imperial court, are naturally taken very seriously and are regarded as the core part of the etiquette system. Every reward is carefully considered.
This time, so many people were rewarded at once, even the handymen in the shipyard were rewarded. This is simply unheard of in this part of China.
Such a good thing, in the shipyard... there was naturally a joy, and the morale of everyone at the top and bottom was boosted, but...
In other places, the atmosphere is a little different.
In other words, the atmosphere is actually the same, but the reasons for excitement are completely different...
That's right, when Wang Jing and others learned about this reward, they all burst into smiles immediately!
Hearing this news, all the high-profile bosses almost broke out in laughter!
"Brother Zheng, is this serious?"
"Of course it's true..."
…
It is still an extremely luxurious and top-of-the-line ocean merchant ship!
Pei Ji looked at the old man beside him with a look of astonishment. This man with a rich face was none other than Mr. Zheng Taishan. Although his face was old, it was glowing with happiness at the moment.
When his companions looked at him with disbelief, Mr. Zheng Taishan couldn't help but smile. He had just sent away one of his servants who came to report the news, and when he turned around, he couldn't help laughing!
After talking to everyone, I felt even more happy when I saw the reactions of my friends.
As soon as Mr. Zheng Taishan finished speaking, Pei Ji still looked shocked, and Wang Jing also looked surprised... But he was a little confused. He looked at Mr. Zheng Taishan and said, "Li Erzhong rewards the craftsmen in the shipyard, even the handymen... This is true.
It’s strange. This foolish king abuses famous names and gives rewards at will, which is clearly shaking the foundation of the country."
Of course, what Wang Jing wanted to express was not these. He wanted to criticize Li Er and get everyone's feelings together before he could talk about the rest. However, Wang Jing's face turned dark in the middle of the sentence. Mader, Li Er, was not
Is he just a fool!...
Even the handymen in the shipyard were rewarded, but they actually treated the learned scholars and celebrities like these brothers so harshly, and even drove them out of China. This is simply outrageous.
Is it true that the rituals and music are broken?
but……
"But why did Li Er do this? Brother Zheng Shi... what do you think?"
Wang Jing looked at Zheng Taishan with questioning eyes. The main thing he wanted to ask was of course not why Li Er rewarded a group of boatmen.
After all, all boatmen are untouchables in Guizhou, so they certainly don't deserve to be cared about by a big shot like him.
What makes Wang Jing feel strange and incredible is that even if these boatmen are rewarded heavily, although it is rare, it seems to be nothing worth paying attention to... And the expression on the face of old man Zheng Taishan clearly shows that he has discovered something interesting.
This is what Wang Jing is curious about!
Although this group of literati always spoke with logical arguments, which sounded very convoluted, but Mr. Zheng Taishan was also an old celebrity, and he immediately understood what Wang Jing was curious about, so...
After another burst of happy laughter, he calmly continued, "Brother Wang Shi, think about it, this Li Er is clearly a first-rate emperor of Jie and Zhou, how could he be willing to give a reward to him at any time? This time, he rewarded this shipyard man a lot.
Craftsmen, what does this mean?"
"This Li Er must have been numbed by the business of our organization, and now he is going crazy trying to win people's hearts!"
"After all, he came to power in a coup and only became emperor by killing his own brother. How can he not be anxious in the current situation?"
As soon as Zheng Taishan finished speaking, Wang Jing, Pei Ji, Cui Baihe, Lu Changgeng... and others suddenly understood on their faces and smiled instantly!
Yes, during these nine months, everyone can be said to have looted a lot!
