Zhang Liang asked: "It doesn't cost much to sell boat tickets, right?"
"What matters is not the ticket, but the money in these people's hands, and themselves!"
Jin Feng explained.
Those targeted by the common people are basically wealthy people.
They all hold a lot of money in their hands, and those who can make money in this era are basically smart people.
When these people arrive in Sichuan and Shu, they are like throwing a catfish into the fish pond. They can activate the market as quickly as possible and stimulate the economic development of Sichuan, Shu and even Dakang as a whole.
Back then, North America also used this trick to recruit a large number of talents.
Due to geographical reasons, the two world wars did not affect North America. Many wealthy people and talented people in various fields tried their best to move their families to North America in order to escape the war and racial persecution.
Their arrival not only brought wealth and resources, but also brought talents to all walks of life in North America and promoted the development of all walks of life.
Including the atomic bomb that ended World War II and shocked the world, it was only these foreign immigrants who made it.
Of course, in this process, many people with ulterior motives will be recruited, but generally speaking, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Even if Jin Feng does not take the initiative to recruit, those with ulterior motives still have to go.
Although Zhang Liang hasn't figured out Jin Feng's intention yet, he has always obeyed Jin Feng's orders.
Jin Feng asked him to sell boat tickets, so he just sold them.
After Tang Xiaobei and Miss Xiaoyue finished talking, Jin Feng took Tang Xiaobei back to the deck.
Zhenyuan No. 2 blew its whistle and slowly left the dock, puffing out thick smoke.
The next morning, Jin Feng met Qinghuai in Wu Di.
Because of the rush for time, the Zhenyuan No. 2 did not dock at the dock this time. Instead, a speedboat was sent ashore to take Qinghuai to the big ship.
Jin Feng had breakfast with Qinghuai and told him to cooperate with Zhang Liang in suppressing bandits in Jiangnan. He and Qinghuai discussed the current situation and difficulties in Jiangnan. After chatting until mid-morning, Jin Feng sent Qinghuai back by speedboat.
.
Although sending troops to other places and suppressing bandits may not be able to contain the situation in Jiangnan, this is the best method Jin Feng can think of at the moment.
Now that the decision has been made, regardless of whether it is useful or not, Jin Feng no longer thinks about the Jiangnan issue for the time being, but instead focuses on shipbuilding again.
While there was still time, Jin Feng sorted out the shipbuilding drawings to be used on the ship.
When the big ship passed the mouth of the sea, Jin Feng took another look at the small island.
It's only been a few months since I last came to the East China Sea, but the small island near the mouth of the sea seems to be a little bigger...
Jin Feng didn't know if it was his imagination.
But it's not time to develop this island yet, so Jin Feng doesn't bother to pay attention to it anymore.
After Zhenyuan No. 2 entered the sea, it slowly turned north and headed towards Yuxi Town.
Because of the presence of escorts, the shipyard was hardly affected by the turmoil. With Jin Feng's full support, development has never stopped.
According to Jin Feng's plan, the Hong family's previous shipyard was no longer sufficient, so since last year, Mancang has been transporting materials to the East China Sea in preparation for building a more advanced shipyard.
When the battle at Yuguan City ended, Jin Feng passed by Yuxi Town. Only one foundation had been built for the new dock. However, when he came back this time, he was still more than ten miles away from Yuxi Town. Jin Feng saw the Hongjia dock in the distance.
Next to it, a new and taller dock was built.
There are a large number of ships docked on the sea outside the dock.
"Sir, it seems to be the Donghai Navy's fleet."
Tie Zhui put down the telescope in his hand: "When I passed by the Navy Pier just now, I was wondering why they were not there. It turns out they are already waiting for us here. It seems that Zheng Chiyuan's information is quite good!"
Although Zheng Chiyuan has sworn allegiance to Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess, in the eyes of Iron Hammer, Zhenyuan Escort Bureau and Zhenyuan Army are the direct subordinates of Jin Feng, followed by Qinghuai's Tielin Army and other Qing family troops under Qing Xinyao.
As for the Donghai Navy, it is not currently on Iron Hammer's trust list.
In fact, not only Tie Zhui thought so, but many high-level officials in Sichuan and Sichuan also thought so, so Jin Feng did not notify Zheng Chiyuan when he came to the East China Sea this time.
But the Donghai Navy's fleet appeared at the dock, which made Tie Hammer have to think more.
It's not that I'm worried that Zheng Chiyuan threatens Jin Feng's safety, but that someone close to Jin Feng is bribed by Zheng Chiyuan and reveals Jin Feng's itinerary.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. Let's go and have a look."
Jin Feng waved his hand and asked Runniang to organize the drawings on the table and put them into the box.
Zhenyuan No. 2 blew its whistle and slowly approached the dock next to the dock.
Hong Taoping, Da Qiang, the person in charge of the escort here, and the escort battalion commander sent by the Ninth Princess in advance were already waiting at the shore.
Beside them stood Zheng Chiyuan in military uniform.
When Jin Feng got off the boat, several people walked up quickly and saluted Jin Feng.
Jin Feng nodded in return, then looked at Zheng Chiyuan: "General Zheng, why are you here?"
"A few warships are somewhat damaged. I came to the dock to repair them. I also took care of the other warships. I heard Mr. Hong said that Mr. Hong was coming. I thought I hadn't seen him for a long time, so I waited for a few days."
Zheng Chiyuan said: "My wooden boat was too slow and could not keep up with the Zhenyuan No. 2, so I did not wait for you at the Navy Pier. I hope you will forgive me!"
Jin Feng took a deep look at Zheng Chiyuan, waved his hand and said, "It's okay!"
He once promised Zheng Chiyuan that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would also install steam engines on the warships of the Donghai Navy, so that they would be more maneuverable when chasing pirates.
But Jin Feng has been extremely busy recently and has no time to promote this matter.
He knew that Zheng Chiyuan was urging him.
But Jin Feng's own boat was not equipped yet, so Jin Feng pretended not to understand and refused to answer the question at all.
Zheng Chiyuan is a veteran in officialdom. When Jin Feng didn't answer, he roughly guessed what he was thinking.
Afraid of arousing Jin Feng's resentment, Zheng Chiyuan did not dare to press any further, and took the initiative to change the topic with a wink.
"Sir, the guest room has been arranged. You and your wife will go and see if you are satisfied with it. If not, I will ask someone to rearrange it."
Hong Taoping stepped forward and said.
In the past, Hong Taoping would have dragged Jin Feng to discuss shipbuilding as soon as they met. However, after more than a year of training, Hong Taoping has become more mature and smooth than before.
When he found Runniang and Tang Xiaobei following Jin Feng, he suppressed the idea of dragging Jin Feng to the dock.
Jin Feng glanced at Hong Taoping and said with a smile: "Xiaobei, Runniang, you go and see where you live. Mr. Hong and I will go to the dock to have a look."
When Hong Taoping heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he still asked: "Sir, you have come a long way, why don't you take a rest?"
