Chapter 51 Daming Nanyang Company
In half a day's work, Longjiang Shipyard Company delivered the land deed of Bao Ship Company, and the four remaining docks of Bao Ship Company were all in Wang Chengen's hands.
There was no other way. Zheng Hongkui, the now powerful commander of the Jinyi Guards, wrote in his own hand that it was just a semi-abandoned shipyard and should be sold.
What can I do if I don’t sell it?
Many branches of Longjiang Shipyard will not be able to survive after the maritime ban.
If it weren't for the meager salary and the support of the Longjiang Shipyard Company on the Qinhuai River, it would have been disbanded long ago.
Even if it doesn't break up, the various sub-shipping companies below will soon have a hard time.
Just like that, status and salary were cut again and again.
Even the Treasure Ship Company, which has a huge shipyard and all its shipwrights are highly skilled, has its chief officer changed from a fifth-grade Gongbu Langzhong to a Yuanwailang, which can be seen from other branches.
And Wang Chengen stood at the door of the treasure shipyard that had been in disrepair and the red paint on the porch was all peeled off. After he realized that in addition to spending a little more to buy the treasure shipyard, the shipyard was really bought at the price of a first-class paddy field, he felt strange in his heart.
A feeling of sadness and anger arose.
I patted the foreign man next to me on the shoulder, thinking that he would also feel a little sad.
Unexpectedly, this guy took a step back with joy on his face and said, "Now that the treasure ship company is in the hands of my father-in-law, I will retire now."
Wang Chengen was a little confused when he saw this, but he guessed 30% of the reason, so he asked: "Are you the craftsmen of the Treasure Ship Company?"
“The month before last, I said that the first payment I owed would be paid off with food. I promised you that, but in the end, I got half less!”
Just as he was confused, the guards around him hurriedly stood in front of Wang Chengen.
"They say they will give you a once-for-one order! I have already saved five orders this year! I have not given you a single payment!"
The old craftsman who stood up before hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "My boss, there are still two sides of the family in the Bao Shipyard now, and they are all ten members. Together, there are more than 230 households."
The personal guards must maintain their might, and they must be murderous to the outside world.
But now they only know that Han people have come to the station that has been officially renamed the "Black Flag Castle" by Wuerte.
"Duh!"
Look at this image!
Suddenly, the scene became quiet.
Amidst the noise, an old man squeezed his way to the front and roared: "Shut up, everyone! Let me talk to my boss, old man!"
The old man roared, and the others suddenly became quite quiet.
"Wurte, the other leaders are waiting outside."
"Master!"
The craftsmen originally wanted to know if the new owner could pay wages, but now they received an unexpected surprise. The treasure ship company could actually make up half of what they owed before. Naturally, they followed Wang Chengen's advice.
As he spoke, he pointed to the overgrown weeds under the wall of Treasure Ship Division.
"If everyone couldn't find some work in private, they would have starved to death!"
"Not four compartments?"
The old craftsman did not refute, and said with a smile: "There were indeed four carriages a hundred years ago, but now there are two less, but don't worry, boss! What about shuttles, oars, iron ropes, carpenters, blacksmiths, and ropemakers?
The people who make patchwork and canopies are still here! If you have the materials, you can start working!"
They walked out of the central hall of Black Flag Castle with neat steps.
As a result, the Nanyang Company, one of the four ocean companies under the command of Hai Dusi of the Ming Empire, which would become notorious all over the world, was established at this time.
Wang Chengen shouted in displeasure, and when he looked through the wall of people, he was shocked to find a large group of "beggars" in shabby clothes swarming out of the Treasure Ship Division.
As a result, the leaders of the tribe who were already staying at the camp or who were near the camp were hastily summoned.
"Anyone who dares to come close again will be killed!"
"What are you doing! Back off!"
"Okay, okay."
In response to Chu Ergan, Zhu Youjian turned around and waved to the fourteen imperial guards who were already serving as guards: "Follow me out, Yi Sa is all dressed up, hold your head high, you have to show your respect to these people."
The barbarians showed off the might and domineering power of the Ming Dynasty."
"We will tidy up the Treasure Ship Company, mainly the main hall and the former Yamen. We have ordered a plaque. From tomorrow on, the Treasure Ship Company will be called the Ming Empire Nanyang Company!"
Obviously, the trial use of assembly lines and simple hydraulic lathes in military factories has already begun.
But Zhu Youjian didn't know.
"Master, will I pay my wages? When will I pay them?"
They are not the Han slaves who were rescued, but the powerful warriors among the Han people who can release thunder and lightning.
The ammunition that was delivered already had some traces of mass production.
They are also familiar with this routine.
Wang Chengen waved his hands to get them to stop, but it had little effect.
"Exactly, sir, we are all craftsmen under Treasure Ship Company. Now that you have bought Treasure Ship Company, we will become your subordinates."
Unexpectedly, Wang Chengen just waved his hand: "One person from each household will follow me to collect one month's wages first, and the others"
Wang Chengen pushed away the guard, stepped forward and asked: "Why, the treasure ship company didn't pay you wages before?"
The royal guards nodded.
There must be four to five hundred people gathered in this treasure ship company.
My father-in-law said so.
Fortunately, Wang Chengen is an understanding person. He took a breath and then shouted: "Half at most! Our family will only replenish half of your wages at most! One month's wages first! We will finish the work this month! Our family will give you the treasure ship company."
I’ll make up half of the wages I owe you!”
As for recovering wages, they are craftsmen.
Next, we will work hard on the double-barreled shotgun and ammunition, develop and improve them, try our best to achieve large-scale mass production, and then start the arms business. Many future plans will be much easier to implement.
Such a majestic and majestic warrior, let alone this group of people, made these tribal leaders feel a little ashamed of themselves.
"Behead for what! Murder is against the law!"
In the end, I could only shout: "The debt of Treasure Ship Company has nothing to do with our family! If we keep arguing, get out of Treasure Ship Company! Our family just bought Treasure Ship Company! We didn't buy you all too!"
Wang Chengen sighed, causing all the craftsmen to suddenly change their expressions, thinking that they were dissatisfied with the new owner.
As soon as this statement came out, the crowd immediately became excited.
Wang Chengen, who couldn't stand the noise, said hurriedly: "Don't scream! You! First tell me how many craftsmen there are under the Bao Ship Division, so that we can give you one month's wages in advance."
Facing the guard's hand on the hilt of the knife, these men, women, children, and even those holding babies were not afraid at all. They came up and shouted at Wang Chengen through the people.
So, in a blink of an eye, the leaders saw two rows of warriors wearing outrageously gorgeous clothes, tall and tall, carrying exquisite weapons, and even wearing unique veils on their heads.
"You are the boss who bought the treasure ship company! The boss, right?"
"well."
Hearing this, the old craftsman suddenly had a flattering and humble expression. He rubbed his hands and tried to step forward, but was forced back by the guards.
After saying that, he hurried away without looking back and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The four guards of Wang Chengen broke out in cold sweat.
"Okay, then go out, I'll be out right away."
When I asked about the key point, even the old man who stood up couldn't stop talking.
Then, when the craftsmen completed the process of landing and ascending to the sky all of a sudden, they were about to burst out cheering.
At this time, he was appreciating Wang Chengen's stability and excellence in his heart.
That dress!
I thought the clothes worn by people in Jianzhou were just warm and good-looking.
Who would have thought that these Han warriors could dress so well!
Immediately, the leaders looked like orcs seeing elves. They stared at the Jinyi guards and scanned their bodies. They wished they could take the clothes, headdress, belt, shoes and swords of these Han warriors and put them on themselves to see if they were right on the spot.
What does it look like.
Thank you to ‘Typhon Emu’ for the reward~Thank you very much~
