People can’t afford a steamship, and even if they find a way to get on the island, it will be very difficult to come back!

People nowadays have a homeland complex, and no one wants to leave their hometowns, so immigrants from all over the world have always been ineffective!

In addition, the sea is separated by the South Ocean, so it is even more difficult to immigrate there!

"Although railways cannot be built in the sea, steam ships can sail freely! At that time, I can set up a fleet to transport people to and from the crowd. While making money, it can also facilitate the people!"

When Ying Feiyu invented the steamship, he once said.

Steam ships can be used as passenger transport, making it convenient for coastal cities to travel!

However, after the steam ship was built, everyone focused on Nanyang and forgot about this matter!

"Well! You guys have a good idea! It's like a train!"

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement and didn't think much about it at all.

"Yes! In addition to passenger transport, you can also transport goods. As long as you pay the fee, you can transport them to the Qin Dynasty! In addition, the court can also use freight ships to transport daily necessities to the island and sell them to the people!"

Ying Feiyu said with a smile.

"Well! It's reasonable! The court transported food and cloth to the island, and then transported the spices and other items on the island back! But... this time, the transportation fee will be a lot, right?"

Ying Zheng said while thinking, his voice getting smaller and smaller, as if he was thinking about something.

In just a moment, he looked up and asked, "You kid just said that you want to set up this fleet by yourself?"

"That's right! The next batch of steam ships in the shipyard will be built soon! At that time, not only can it transport the people, but it can also transport goods back and forth, making sure you make a profit without losing money!"

Ying Feiyu smiled seriously, revealing a row of milky white teeth.

In fact, he said that on purpose.

Ying Zheng is not much better than Zhang Han, he is also a stinger!

It's hard to make money, but if you hear anything you can make money, your mind will have to be sharp and squeezed in!

Now that I know that starting a fleet can make money, I must be rushing to do it. Then I will do a favor and launch this errand again!

Because he has no interest in establishing a fleet at all!

One is because you make money slowly, and the other is that no one can protect you!

As the fleet comes and goes, it is inevitable that it will encounter pirates. Just a few crew members can't handle it!

It is still the most safest thing for the imperial court to send troops to sea. Even if they encounter alien pirates, they can fight back smoothly and ensure the safety of the goods!

"Hmph! You kid just said that you were thinking about the court, but as you said that you had to eat alone and earn money from transportation?"

As expected, after Ying Zheng reacted, he immediately changed his face and began to scold Xiao Zhengtai again.

"What? Isn't I thinking about the court? The price of a steam ship has risen to 1.5 million gold. One after another, it takes at least ten ships for passenger transport. In addition to freight, it takes twenty ships, which is 30 million gold...!"

Ying Feiyu calculated by his fingers, and then continued: "I know that the court's funds are tight, but I want to let the people immigrate to Nanyang as soon as possible, so I took on this part by myself. While facilitating the people, I can also allow the court to take down the fat piece of Nanyang without spending a soldier!"

After all, he said righteousness, and even Ying Feiyu himself almost moved him!

But Ying Zheng didn't appreciate it, "You kid, you're going to be over. It sounds like it's for the good of the court, but if you think about it carefully, you've put all the money you earned into your kid's pocket?"

"No! You guys have so many industries that make money. This sea transportation must be given to me!"

"Since it is a matter that benefits the country and the people, let the court do it. In this way, the people can surrender to the court more! You kid don't have to make a splash!"

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng waved his hand, and his wide sleeves followed him in the air, his tone was also very tough, and he wanted to decide on the matter directly.

"This is also for the sake of the court. How can I call it a slam? Purchasing a steamship is not a small number!"

Ying Feiyu said in a disguise.

"Hmph! You guys don't have to worry about it. The other side of Wodao just sent a batch of gold before the New Year. Is it still a few times that I can't afford to send you a few more melons?"

Ying Zheng said arrogantly.

If it were the past, he wouldn't dare say this.

At that time, let alone taking out 30 million gold at once, it would be a big deal to find out whether the entire court could find 30 million gold.

Even the minister’s salary must be delayed again and again, and it can only be paid when it cannot be delayed again!

But now it’s different. Industry and commerce are emerging, and a lot of taxes are paid every year.

In addition, the battles against the Huns and other countries brought back a large amount of spoils!

The continuous excavation of salt mines and iron mines also brought a lot of income to the court!

But the most important thing is Wodao!

There are many gold and silver mines on the island, and a lot of gold and silver are sent to the court every year.

Not to mention 30 million, even if you add 30 million, the court can take it out!

According to his understanding, maritime transportation is like railways, and it can be traded continuously, and with the development of Nanyang, it may become more and more popular in the future.

So, it is definitely a sure profit without losing money.

And there is no need to lay the rails, just buy a boat and you can do it. The income is much faster than that of a train!

If you don’t grab such a good thing, it’s just a brain-wrenching thing!

"The father is sure to set up his own fleet?"

Ying Feiyu asked with a wicked smile.

"That's right! I will ask Zhang Aiqing to send the silver notes to the shipyard later. After the fare is set, the people can take a boat to Nanyang!"

Ying Zheng looked like he was determined to win, and his head was pounded like pounding garlic.

"Okay! Since the father has decided, I will give up the good things that are beneficial to the country and the people, such as setting up a fleet, which is beneficial to the country and the people!"

Ying Feiyu raised his shoulders and pretended to be helpless.

In fact, I was so happy in my heart!

If he spoke directly and asked Ying Zheng to set up a fleet, he would have to hesitate for a while, and it would be far less pleasant than this!

As for whether the steamship would be as popular as a train, he didn't mention it.

He didn't say whether it was a monopoly or a transaction that was passed down from generation to generation!

If other people do transportation in the future, it will be no wonder that they will not be on their heads!

"Haha! It solved the problem of exchanges and the livelihood of the people. Now some people should be willing to go there, right?"

After catching the opportunity to set up a fleet, Ying Zheng smiled proudly.

"Well! As long as the father thinks about it, I will ask the newspaper to publish these things in tomorrow's headlines later. There will probably be many people to sign up!"

Ying Feiyu responded.

As long as Ying Zheng agrees to publish in the newspaper, this matter is a foregone conclusion and no one can change it!

If you want to change, the people will definitely be very emotional and it will not be worth the loss!

"Come on, board, board! You must board! In this way, many people will take steamships to Nanyang!"

Ying Zheng responded happily without thinking.
Chapter completed!
