It is time to the coldest time, and there are vast snowflakes falling in the sky, every snowflake...

They are all white.

Yan Chengjin stretched out his hands, and the eighth set of radio gymnastics music sounded silently in his heart: the first section, stretching exercise...

The hand slowly lifted up...

Lin Song got up to practice martial arts, and was attracted by Yan Chengjin and asked seriously: "The young master's martial arts are so curious."

"Encuse me to Liangxiang in a while."

His Majesty agreed to open a shipyard in Liangxiang, but he had not told Zhang Xian yet.

Yan Chengjin plans to go there in person.

After playing a set of radio gymnastics, Yan Chengjin ran five laps without any impact. After returning to the house to change his clothes, he came to the back hall for breakfast.

"Let the kitchen prepare lunch today."

He Neng knew that the young master was going to Liangxiang when he heard this, so he hurriedly ran to prepare.

"Cheng Jin, I want to go to Li's Mansion with you, what do you think?" Yan Kesong held the porridge bowl with a smile.

How did my dad know about Li Qing'e?

Yan Chengjin looked at him, and did not dare to look at him.

"My son is not ready yet, and my father and son are coming to the house abruptly. It is not necessarily that Gong Li is in the mansion, but he is going to court today."

"You are just afraid, Dad will tell you!"

Yan Chengjin shook his head, Well, it seems that it is time to match my dad.

While my father returned to his room to change court uniforms, he secretly left Yan's mansion.

After winter, he rarely came to Liangxiang, and the road was flattened. Yan Chengjin changed a carriage this time.

Take out the map of Liangxiang in the carriage.

The construction of a shipyard cannot be cost-effective with Your Majesty. There is a Qingjiang Shipyard in Huai'an, northern Jiangsu, and a Weihe Shipyard in Linqing, Shandong. There are more than 5,000 craftsmen and more than 100 ships are built every year.

If you want to pay for your Majesty, you will probably send him to these two shipyards to buy a ship.

What he wants is not a ship, but a shipyard.

It is not only for the refugees in Liangxiang, but also for the sake of caution, but also for the preparation of opening the sea. It is one thing to have drawings, but it is one thing to be able to make them.

"I wonder if I can make the Grand Treasure Ship of the Three Treasures eunuchs?"

After opening the sea, many ships have to sail on the sea and go to business trips on various continents.

Therefore, there is no situation of oversupply of ships.

"In history, the canal transportation has greatly stimulated the development of shipyards, which has allowed Qingjiang Shipyard and other shipyards to continue to expand during the Jiajing period."

Although the canal transportation is prosperous, it is a big deal compared to overseas trade.

Liangxiang,

Zhang Xian stood on the river channel to supervise the work. There is an advantage in digging the river channel in winter. There is no need to repair the embankment to block the water. The Lugou River was frozen and turned into ice.

But the construction period is very fast, so we have to dig the river before spring begins.

Otherwise, the ice will melt and the river will rush out, go down the waterway, filling the newly built river channels, and the remaining river channels will not be dug.

"I'm sorry, I'll dig out the river before the new year, otherwise I'll have to repair the dam. Today... I'll dig half a mile before I finish the work."

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, we will dig it out as soon as possible."

Zhang Xian sat on the river and rested for a while, and the clerk handed over the porridge and steamed buns.

The porridge is on the edge of the river, each person has a bowl of porridge and two large steamed buns.

After a while, a yamen runs a horse and reports: "Sir, Lord Yan is here in Liangxiang!"

Zhang Xian quickly put down the porridge bowl, rode a fast horse, and rushed back to the Yamen, which was close to the marginal boundary of Liangxiang, and it took nearly half an hour to rush back.

When Yan Chengjin heard that the river was built in Gongyuan Village, he knew that Zhang Xian didn't come back so quickly.

I walked around the streets of Liangxiang.

After the canal transportation was stopped, there were fewer merchants coming to Liangxiang, only scholars from the library, and Liangxiang looked a little popular.

Xie Yu's teeth shop repaired a room with more than 20 rooms, rented it to scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam, and earned a lot of money by collecting rent.

When they reached the library, two scholars came out.

"There is only one library in Liangxiang and no brothels, so it's boring."

"Brother Menglong said that it is not as good as the capital after all, go and have a few glasses of wine to sleep."

Reading books all day long will be bored, reading books during the day, and going to brothels to drink flower wine at night is the daily routine of some talented men in Jiangnan.

Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought, he would not open a brothel.

Without buying and selling, there is no harm...

I walked back to Liangxiang Yamen and waited for half an hour.

Zhang Xian rushed back, turned over and stepped out of his horse and walked into the yamen. The cold wind blew his ears red and he exhaled white breath.

"Looking for a place, I want to open a shipyard in Liangxiang."

Shipyard?

If you think about the Qingjiang Shipyard in Huai'an, northern Jiangsu, you will know that even if it is small, it will cost a lot of money.

Zhang Xian looked puzzled: "Sir, Liangxiang can open anything, but the shipyard cannot be opened. The land of the shipyard is now distributed to refugees. The remaining land is all from Liangxiang gentry, and there are shipbuilding craftsmen. The refugees must not be able to do it, and there is no wood. They need to be transported from Guizhou, Yunnan. I don't know how much money is needed. Where is the treasury in Liangxiang, and it is all used to build a library."

Whether it is a general canal ship or a slightly larger yellow ship.

It is inevitable to hire craftsmen. Craftsmen are not refugees. They have to specialize in shipbuilding, such as large carpenters, carpenters, sawers, painters, etc.

Even refugees can talk about wages, but craftsmen don’t even have to do anything if their money is low.

"Take me to see the land first."

Yan Chengjin stood not far from the pier, and saw a piece of land, digging the river further into it, creating a moored bay area.

"Whose lands belong to these places?"

"A gentry named Hu Gong's land, after the business in Liangxiang was good, the low price increased several times. They were not willing to sell it, and... the treasury has no money anymore."

The land price in Liangxiang is far inferior to that in the capital, and it is very despicable, but after the addition of merchants from all over the country, the land price has increased.

"Then build a business group and open a large shipyard. Even if the Liangxiang treasury has money, it cannot support it. You have to set up a Liangxiang business group and hold shares to start it." Yan Chengjin said.

Liangxiang became the birthplace of the Ming Dynasty's small commodities, and was the Yibi of the Ming Dynasty. Even if he did not form a business gang, he would definitely form a business gang in the future.

The famous business groups now include Hui merchants, Shanxi merchants and Guangdong merchants.

The common feature of Hui merchants, Shanxi merchants and Guangdong merchants is salt, silk, tea, etc. They are involved in the entire Ming Dynasty market.

However, there are some emphasis on each other. Shanxi merchants mine and mining in Shanxi, while Guangdong merchants trade frequently with the country merchants on the southeast coast.

It is hard to find a chamber of commerce that can compete with them in the world.

As a righteous bird in the Ming Dynasty in the future, Liangxiang may have such a chance.

In the last life, Yibiu’s Chamber of Commerce was very strong...

Although in his eyes, all the gentry in Liangxiang were paupers, and compared with the merchant gangs of Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants, it was equivalent to the Beggars' Sect, but at least they had a piece of land, so they would have invested in the land.

Zhang Xian ordered people to post a notice at the door of the yamen and report it to the gentry's home.

Hu family,

Hu Gong looked at the diary and said that the place where the shipyard was wanted was not the land of his own home?

"Opening a shipyard in Liangxiang is simply a dream! Qingjiang Shipyard is set up by the imperial court. Can business be able to grab Qingjiang Shipyard? Our land is good and we won't sell it no matter what."

I looked down a few times and found it even more ridiculous.

Want to establish a Liangxiang business gang in Liangxiang? Be arrogant!

"Master, the yamen invites you to go there."

"Say I'm not available."

"Mr. Zhang said, if you don't go today, if you have difficulties in the future..."

"Who are you scaring?"
