"You will explain the situation in Erzhou in detail in the newspaper later, so that the people can be prepared!"

Ying Zheng was relieved that the immigration matter was resolved.

"yes!"

Ying Feiyu also readily agreed.

What newspapers want to publicize are family and national affairs, especially sensational news like this, so that they can maintain newspaper sales!

What's more, this was promoted by the scumbag, and the newspaper must charge advertising fees!

"As soon as the newspaper comes out, the entire Qin Dynasty will be shocked by it. Countless ships will sail to Erzhou again. His Royal Highness's shipyard will be booming again, haha!"

Wang Ben could already imagine the people going crazy.

Last time Yizhou attracted many nobles to send ships to the island, this time it will definitely be even crazier!

"Yes, two million gold for one vessel, the price is really not cheap!"

Zhang Han's body aches just thinking about it.

Their ship has just set off from Yizhou and will not be able to return in a short time.

Now that Erzhou has a lot of wealth, they can't just stare at it and not make money, right?

"What Zhang Shangshu said is wrong! Today's labor costs are very high, and the materials used for ships cannot be ambiguous. Moreover, this thing is still unpopular and is not a best-selling product. If it is sold cheaply, the shipyard has closed down long ago!

Even if there is a gold mine in Erzhou by then, no one will be able to buy a boat and no one will be able to bring it back!"

When Ying Feiyu heard this, he immediately became unhappy.

How come we only see wolves eating meat but not being beaten?

The cost of the ship, the salary of the craftsmen, and technical research, which one is not a high cost?

When he was studying steamships and trains, he invested a lot of money!

At that time, none of these old guys spoke, right?

He also said that there is nothing in the world that can travel thousands of miles in a day!

"Forehead……"

This is the case, and Zhang Han has nothing to quibble with.

Let alone two million gold, even if you give them three million gold, they can't build a steamship!

"Your Highness, I heard that there are people opening shipbuilding workshops in the Jiangnan area, and they seem to be trying to imitate ships!"

An official warned.

"This is a good thing!"

However, not only did Ying Feiyu not look angry, he was actually very happy.

This was beyond everyone's expectation.

Someone starts to copy his research results and steal his business. Shouldn't we find ways to stop them or even squeeze them out?

"If Da Qin wants to develop, it is impossible to rely on this prince alone. If someone starts to study shipbuilding, they will continue to improve in the future, so that Da Qin can truly develop! It is not only shipbuilding, but also other industries. Only with competition can there be development.

!”

Ying Feiyu said with a serious face.

"Um!"

After hearing what he said, Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, agreeing very much.

The ministers also had expressions of realization, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands the righteousness!"

Especially those who quietly open coffee shops, they can flatter you even more easily!

Before, I was afraid of robbing His Highness the Crown Prince's business and annoying His Highness the Crown Prince.

Now it seems that His Royal Highness the Prince still supports everyone's innovation, and now they have confidence in their hearts!

"In my opinion, ships are not that easy to imitate!"

Chunyu Yue curled his lips, as if he wasn't very optimistic about it.

"Yes! You think a few craftsmen can make it? There are many ways to do it here!"

"Even if it is really built, I won't buy it for fear that all the people and goods in the boat will be lost in the sea!"

"That's right! What if someone with a bad heart cuts corners in order to make more money, and a wave comes over and the boat falls apart? I don't dare to buy it, I don't dare to buy it...!"

After him, several more ministers shook their heads like rattles.

They really thought His Royal Highness's ship was too expensive.

You can use it with peace of mind.

After so many years, I haven't heard of any problems with anyone's boat.

If you are greedy for petty advantages and buy products from other factories, you are still uncertain about the results!

A little more expensive is better than a less safe one!

"Yes, yes, other things can be vague, but not on a ship!"

Ships have to sail in the sea. Once an accident occurs, there is no way to survive.

It’s not like a bicycle. Even if someone imitates it, if it breaks, you’ll just fall over and consider yourself unlucky.

That’s fatal!

"Your Highness, Erzhou has countless wealth, won't the imperial court send a ship there to enrich the national treasury?"

Zhang Han cast his gaze on Ying Feiyu and asked.

The imperial court only sent troops to Nanyang to give the people a start and at the same time proved that steamships could go across oceans.

I haven't been there since!

No matter how much wealth the people brought back, there was still no movement from the court, and he looked anxious!

Even if only ten ships are sent there, a lot of money can be brought back, enough for the court to spend for a while!

Before he finished speaking, Ying Zheng also cast his gaze over!

"Zhang Shangshu is right...!"

Ying Feiyu pretended to be surprised and slapped his thigh, "Then it would be better if the imperial court did not release Erzhou, wait until all the valuable things on the island are mined, and then allow the people to immigrate. Wouldn't the national treasury be richer?"

"..."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhang Han was still secretly happy, and he made a good suggestion.

But when he heard the second half of the sentence, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

This guy is making fun of himself in a weird way!

"Pfft..."

A mocking laugh came immediately from behind.

Ever since Ying Feiyu said that Erzhou had a lot of wealth, the ministers behind him had their own thoughts and were thinking about it.

If the imperial court also sends a ship there, wouldn't there be another strong competitor?

The imperial court wanted people and money, so when a group of soldiers came to Yizhou to search, they would only have some soup.

Don’t even think about it!

"His Royal Highness, you are kidding me. All the valuable things on the island have been mined. Who would still want to immigrate?"

Zhang Han scratched his head and smiled.

He also understood that what he just said was a bit abrupt, but he also thought about it for the sake of the court and hoped to increase his income!

"That's right! You are always worried that the people in the court will compete with the people for profit. Doesn't going to the island to make money mean competing with the people? Besides, it will also affect the enthusiasm of the people to immigrate. It is simply not worth the gain!"

Ying Feiyu directly laid out the stakes to them, cutting off the thoughts of Zhang Han, an old money man and his scumbag father.

At that time, the imperial court was so poor that it only took one trip to Southeast Asia.

This trip is still to encourage the people.

Now that the imperial court is wealthy, it can no longer compete with the people for money-making opportunities!

"Zhang Aiqing also thinks about the court!"

This time, Ying Zheng was on Zhang Han's side.

He felt very sad that he could not earn so much wealth in Erzhou!

Moreover, after Erzhou, more states will be conquered. The imperial court will only contribute its efforts, but it will not benefit at all!

"In fact, the imperial court can set up a customs and start collecting customs duties!"

Ying Feiyu understood what the two of them meant. He just felt that all the wealth overseas was for nothing, and looked a little greedy.

"customs?"

Ying Zheng and other ministers looked suspicious.

"That's right! As the name suggests, it is to set up a gate on the seaside to collect taxes on returning ships!"

"Huh? That's a good idea!"

As soon as Ying Feiyu explained, Zhang Han's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Tell me more about it, kid!"

Ying Zheng also couldn't wait to ask more questions.

Collecting taxes seems to be beneficial to the court, but it also depends on what taxes are collected and how they are collected!
