Lin Bei smiled, this Guo Da is making progress, but he should help the merchant to inquire. Compared with leasing, buying is obviously more cost-effective. As a merchant, you must have this kind of keen business sense.
"It's not impossible, but do you think that with the financial resources of the people who watch the sea today, who has the money to buy a big dragon ship?"
The Dawei Dragon King Ship is the largest ship in Wanghai City, with a total length of [-], which is higher in grade than the large ships in the Central Plains. It is definitely the largest ship in this era. With the current capabilities of Wanghai City, if all the materials are sufficient, it will also be needed. It takes only [-] days to produce one ship. This is not the most important thing. The important thing is the strategic position of the Daweilong Kingship, so now Wanghai people can't afford it.
"Oh, that's all. In addition, my lord, if I travel by sea and do business with foreign countries by the sea, how should I sell the goods I bring back? Can my lord tell this villain? Merchants are quite concerned about this matter."
When Lin Bei thought about it, he had neglected this aspect, so he asked the sergeant to call An Zhong directly and talked about it.
An Zhongzhi groaned and said: "My lord, it depends on the goods."
Lin Bei smiled and said: "Since the merchant will bring it back from a foreign country, it must be something that I don't have in Haicheng. The sea journey is long and dangerous. My lord thinks that it should be collected at a high price, so as not to chill the merchant."
Guo Da hurriedly said: "Your Excellency is wise."
"That must be something useful to my Wanghai City, right?"
Lin Bei nodded: "Since the merchants have this concern, how about Zhongzhi, you should draw up a regulation to refine this aspect, so that the merchants can be targeted and everyone is enthusiastic."
"promise."
This time, the regulations on shipping were released soon. The regulations stipulate the price at which Wanghai City will purchase the things brought back by sea. Jewelry and jade are all precious things, and the price is the same as that of Wanghai City, except for jewelry and jade. In addition to these things, exotic specialties, such as exotic food crops, cash crops, etc., are extremely expensive. In addition, this regulation also adds a very special kind of goods-slaves.

Chapter 294 Positive Energy
For Lin Bei, this law is like a Pandora's box. Once opened, the Wanghai people will embark on a bloody road of plunder. Therefore, Lin Bei was a little undecided whether to add slaves. On the contrary, An Zhongzhi, Bian Ji and others disagreed.
"My lord, why are you undecided? It is much better to come to Wanghai City to be a slave than to be a tenant farmer of those powerful families in the Central Plains." An Zhongzhi gave Lin Bei a very strange statement, An Zhongzhi I think Nulu is much more comfortable than a tenant farmer, at least in Wanghai City.
Tenant farmers are not a unique product of China. They can be found in any country with a feudal landlord social structure. Slave owners gain benefits by exploiting tenant farmers. Private property, born as a member of a powerful family, and dead as a ghost of a powerful family. If the tenant wants to be free, it needs a very cumbersome procedure. In addition, the tenant must be willing to let the tenant go, otherwise he will not be able to leave the house even if the owner kills him. Shareholders will not be held accountable in this era, because the government will not take care of them.
Therefore, if the term slave is replaced by tenant, I am afraid that even Zheng Xuan, Sima Zheng and other great scholars can only let it go, because this is the characteristic of the times. Which aristocratic family does not have tenants?
So after An Zhongzhi's words, Lin Bei also listed slaves as a kind of goods.
In this era, population is also a resource. After Lin Bei admits that slaves are also a kind of goods, the shipping merchants in Wanghai City will become extremely aggressive. Wherever the Daweilong Kingship passes, blood will definitely be everywhere, but this is The fastest way to loot exotic resources.
However, Lin Bei is still very cautious about the use of slaves. The slaves can only be owned by Wanghai City.Private individuals are not allowed to own slaves, so the term slave owner will not appear. After the sea merchants capture the slaves, Wanghai City will buy them.
In addition to these goods, the concept of exchanging routes for rewards in Wanghai City was proposed for the first time in the regulations, so-called routes for rewards.It is to encourage shipping merchants to open up sea lanes. At that time, Wanghai City will make a map of the sea area. As long as the sea merchants come back and find a waterway that is not on the map, they can receive corresponding rewards. The size of the reward is based on how many resources there are around the waterway. And these resources refer to those things stipulated in the laws and regulations, such as exotic specialties, how many people there are, how many mines there are, and so on.In addition, the size of the forest, the size of the plain, and the number of animals can also be regarded as resources. As long as such places are found, rewards will be given.
On the second day after the promulgation of the regulations, Guo Da rushed to the city lord's mansion and handed over the list of [-] merchants who had joined forces to lease the Great Dragon Kingship.They can't wait to go to sea, the promulgation of this regulation.If these businessmen encounter small-scale aborigines, they may turn into pirates. Only when they encounter large-scale aborigines will they become businessmen. This will undoubtedly allow them to quickly embark on the road to riches.
Lin Bei immediately asked the workshop to manufacture two Daweilongwangships without steam engines, and then he stayed up all night, the next day.Let An Zhongzhi issue another regulation.
In this regulation, Lin Bei perfected the code of conduct for maritime merchants, that is, all maritime merchants in Wanghai City must not attack each other and at the same time help each other, which is mandatory.Once these two points are violated, family assets will be confiscated and household registration will be deprived. As soon as this regulation comes out, Wanghai people are immediately shocked.
"My lord, is it too strict?" Bian Ji asked cautiously.
Lin Bei shook his head, "It's not strict at all, but it's a pity that there is no black box now, otherwise I would have to install one on every Daweilongwang ship."
The reason why Lin Bei made such seemingly absurd regulations was only because he vaguely saw the Huaxia of the later generations, so he did not allow this kind of thing to happen in Wanghai City.
When Linbei came here, the Chinese people's moral concept is that money is the first, traditional morality has been gradually lost, and people have become more and more indifferent to each other, which is really distressing.
At that time, many news would have a special section called the positive energy section, which was used to promote good people and good deeds in society. What good deeds were they promoting?Anyway, Lin Bei has seen two very special positive energy incidents. One is that the husband has taken care of his disabled wife for more than ten years, and the other is that the police bravely captured two criminals with knives. When Lin Bei saw it, he felt really mixed. Can this fucking thing be called positive energy?Isn't it right for a husband to take care of his wife?Even if the wife is already disabled, isn't it the duty of the police to catch criminals?Such publicity is probably just because such things that seem to be taken for granted have become rare.
My wife is disabled, and my husband's first reaction was to get rid of this burden. When the police saw a knife-wielding gangster, the first thing they thought was that I should dodge first, so as not to be stabbed. That's why those two things that seemed to be taken for granted changed. It has become a positive energy event, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
Lin Bei doesn't want Wanghai people to repeat this kind of sorrow because of their rapid wealth. He hopes that these two positive energy events in Wanghai City will be common in the future. When his wife is sick and disabled, the husband's first reaction is how I am doing. In order to take better care of her, instead of pulling away and leaving, countless people will rush to subdue the gangster immediately when they see a gangster committing a crime on the street, instead of being afraid of being stabbed and bleeding.
Sailing in the sea, because there is no one around, sometimes the dark side of people will be infinitely magnified. Those who dare not kill people may be able to kill people with a knife because of jealousy. Anyway, no one in the sea can see it. The nasty things that dare to do may be done in places where no one is around. Lin Bei is not a god, and he cannot shine on everyone like the sun, so he can only pass strict laws and regulations to make these people feel a little scruples. Mutual help and love at sea prevent people from becoming indifferent because of certain interests.
The regulations were promulgated, and the workshop began to manufacture the Daweilong Kingship for civilian use. At this time, Wanghai City began to share the land among the common people.
This work has been prepared since last year, and has been gradually perfected. Almost all Wanghai people have no doubts. An Zhongzhi takes the city officials and heads of households out of the city every day to measure the fields and record them one by one. This work It will last for about a month. At that time, Wanghai will divide the fields into households, and these ordinary people can freely decide what to plant.If you want to do business and don't want to farm land, you can lease the land to other farmers after the land is distributed. How to lease is up to them to discuss, and Wanghai City will not interfere.As long as the tax can be handed in at that time, it will be fine.
Many things have changed in Lin Beilai's era, and now the land is controlled by the common people themselves, which is a breakthrough of the times, which can make the common people more motivated, and farming can also lead to a better future.
After the land distribution is over, if the common people feel that the land is not enough, they can still reclaim the farmland. This needs to be reported to the city.If it is used for other purposes, the tax system is different. For example, building a house does not require taxation. If you open a shop, you need to collect taxes.
Road construction is still going on, Wanjiang West Road and Wanjiang East Road are about to be completed, and the Mixc City is also under planning.Once the two roads are connected, a city will be built there.And Yanhe City is almost complete. Now Lin Bei plans to build two more cities between Vientiane City and Yanhe City, because Vientiane City and Yanhe City are too far away.
Linjiang City is more than [-] miles away from the mouth of the Mekong River, the coastal city is more than [-] miles away from Linjiang City, and the Vientiane City to be built is even [-] miles away. Obviously, this is not possible.Therefore, it is necessary to build a city in the middle. In addition, the forest terrain between Vientiane City and Yanhe City is a plain terrain, with a large area of fertile soil that can be cultivated, as well as resources such as mines.These Lin Bei will never let go.
"The Vientiane City, plus the construction of two cities and the surrounding concrete roads, it will take several months to complete these things alone, alas." Lin Bei sighed.
Although this speed can be called fast, Lin Bei still feels that it is not enough, but there is no way if it is not enough. Without a city, there will be no supply point, without a supply point, there will be no war, and there will be no way to conquer the aborigines in the forest.
"In addition, after the city and roads are completed, we have to start building the dam again. This project will be even more vast." Lin Bei felt even more troubled when he thought of the next dam project.
Lin Bei remembered that when the Three Gorges Dam was built on the Yangtze River, it took more than ten years just to plan, and then it took more than ten years to build it. Adding up to nearly 30 years, Lin Bei obviously couldn't wait so long , Lin Bei's plan is that if it can't be repaired this year, it must be repaired next year. To shorten the time, it will require a lot of manpower and material resources to fill in with material and manpower.
"Cement and steel bars are the main building materials, and they are needed innumerably. There are not enough indigenous slaves, and there are not enough ships for transportation. It is difficult."
Huang Yueying made a model of a dam some time ago. Although she is now researching the battery, the craftsmen have started experiments on some small rivers based on the model of the dam. Lin Bei has naturally seen the model of the dam. Speaking of this model In fact, it is very simple. There are two water outlets, one is used to discharge water at ordinary times, the other is used to release flood water when the flood rises, and the other is an elevator, which is mainly used for boats to go back and forth between the dams, and the rest are made of cement. And steel bars, as long as it can withstand the impact of the water flow in the dam, the dam is actually easy to build. As for the impact on the surrounding area of the dam, how much can Lin Bei consider now?Thank goodness for the dam.
Because of the impression of the Three Gorges Project, Linbei’s requirement for the dam is to lower it again and again, as long as it can have two functions, flood discharge and passage of ships. Regarding the shape of the dam, how big and long the dam is, Lin Bei In other words, even if Huang Yueying finally built the dam a thousand miles long and a thousand miles wide, as long as it can fulfill these two functions and there is enough cement, Lin Bei can accept it...
The situation in Wanghai City is normal, the scope of rule continues to expand steadily, and there is no war now, so Lin Bei turned his attention to the Central Plains and Jiaozhi.
After Lin Bei sent a second letter to Manshuai, Mancheng finally replied, agreeing with Lin Bei's half-for-half approach. After all, most of the yellow scarves and common people that Lin Bei captured from Anding County this time were young people. Zhuang, Manshuai is about to attack Jingzhou, and he doesn't want to give up these populations. Manshuai is naturally happy to exchange some old and weak women and children for young and strong people, even if these people were originally from his Mancheng.
The exchange method is 1000 people at a time, and they are exchanged in Anding County. It takes about ten times to replace them all. There are lands and houses, and they are treated the same as the original Wanghai people. In this way, some people who want to go back to Mancheng are a little bit reluctant.
Although they are captives, Wanghai City has never treated them badly during this period of time. Although they are in custody in the name, they can hardly restrain their actions, and they can't control their food. Some time ago, many Dragon God soldiers brainwashed these people. Talking about how good Wanghai City is, how wise and powerful Lord Dragon God is, Mancheng is not bad, but there are still class distinctions there, and there are many powerful families in Mancheng. If the people of Mancheng do not come to Wanghai, Maybe I got used to it, but now in Wanghai City, I found that Wanghai City is indeed better than Man City, so I will naturally lean towards Wanghai City.
The thoughts of these people were quickly noticed by the sergeants, and they reported it to Lin Bei, so Lin Bei came up with an idea.
Lin Bei asked the sergeants to reveal intentionally or unintentionally that the Dragon God Army had sentry posts around the Man City. If these people wanted to leave after returning to the Man City, as long as they took their families out of the city, the Dragon God Army would bring them back to Wanghai City , and the treatment is the same as that of all Wanghai people.
Lin Bei doesn't know how effective this idea will be, but if it can make Mancheng's people's hearts float, Lin Bei will think it's worth it. Of course, if the 9000 people brought back by the Yellow Turbans can return to Wanghai City again with their families , then Lin Bei will definitely be more pleased, because this shows that Wanghai City is really good, and Lin Bei is very successful as the leader.
PS:....
Chapter 295 Being a Man, Craftsmanship, and Making Money
It was late February, and Bian Ji reported to Lin Bei that Nanyue Academy had been repaired.
Bian Ji was almost busy with this matter during this time, and he invested a lot of energy, so once the academy was repaired, he told Lin Bei. It happened that Lin Bei didn't have much to do these days, so he put everything aside Kai, with Bian Ji, first went to Nanyue Academy.
The Nanyue Academy was built in the south of Wanghai City. It took almost three months from the start of construction to the completion of the academy. With the current speed of house repairs in Wanghai City, a new pool can be built in almost three months. Therefore, it can also be completed. It can be seen that Lin Bei and Bian Ji attach great importance to the academy.
Starting from the west gate of Wanghai City, go up Nanshan Road first, go forward for five miles and then turn into another cement road. This is the road leading to Nanyue Academy, named Academy Road. There are dense fruit trees planted on both sides of the cement road. Now the fruit trees have just sprouted, and in midsummer or early autumn, Shuyuan Road will be covered with greenery, forming an exceptionally beautiful place.
Shuyuan Road is only three feet wide, which is not as good as Nanshan Road’s five feet, nor Wanjiang East and West Road’s seven feet. At most, two steam cars can run side by side here, because this road will not be the main road for vehicles in the future. , if the students enroll, most of them will live in the academy.
