Chapter 433 Route Franchise
Reshuffle? The owners of the ship immediately turned red. Prince Heng meant that they wanted to divide their respective business routes, and the routes between Australia, Persia and Dashi must be distributed in advance?
When Zhang Yuanlong heard this, he was secretly happy and wanted to make a fuss. No wonder Prince Heng was confident. It turned out that he had thought of this method. The court decided to divide the routes, designated the routes, and maintained order with the Nanyang Fleet. In this way, the routes became a real golden rice bowl. No one could take them away except with money. This was a benefit to future generations, and it was really a loss for Prince Heng to think about them. This was a huge income.^.
The owners of the ship are all human beings, so how can they not be able to figure out the weight of this? They immediately thought about it in their minds. They still have the intention to join forces to raise prices. Not to mention making money, they are just a loss. No, they just don’t have money to help transfer Australian immigrants. That’s fine. Which route is not money, it’s not a question of whether it’s money or not. How can we fight for more routes now? This is directly related to the size of the fleet in the future, the prosperity of the family, and where can anyone still care about the small profits of flies?
Immediately someone stood up and bowed and said, "Prince Xun, immigration and transfer is a good move for the country and the people. The Lin family in Fujian is not talented and is willing to share the worries of the country. There are more than 400 ships of all sizes in the Lin family, and they can be ordered by Prince Hou Xun at any time."
"The Wang family in Zhejiang is willing to destroy the family and transfer Australian immigrants to the country for free!"
"The Lu family in Guangzhou is not willing to let the family down and is willing to destroy the family and become a country."
"There are 1,200 sand ships, sea ships and black ships in the Chen family in Zhejiang. I am willing to support Prince Heng unconditionally!"
"The He family in Guangzhou is willing to destroy the family and serve as the country! I beg Prince Xun to give the He family a chance!"
For a moment, the hall was immediately filled with calls for destroying the family and serving the country. The ship owners were all scrambling to lead the way, and their voices were louder and louder, and they were more righteous than the other, competing to destroy the family and serving the country!
Seeing these ship owners who were fond of money and were fighting to destroy their families and make the country, Zhang Yuanlong, a free transfer immigrant, couldn't help it, turned around, bent over, and smiled so hard that his whole body was shaking.
Yinzhen was serious, he really didn't find it funny. These ship owners were all very smart and knew better about the value of the route than these ship owners. As long as the Qing Dynasty did not destroy the country, the value of these routes could not be estimated. Each route would mean monopolizing the price of goods in a place. This is not a joke.
How much is the silver worth of transferring immigrants in seven years? Yinzhen didn't want to auction off the operating rights of the route for a bargain. He just wanted to use this to mobilize the enthusiasm of all merchant ship owners and warn them not to act rashly.
After the crowd of people's statements came to an end, Yinzhen stood up and pressed his hands with his hands. When the hall was silent, he said loudly: "Your patriotic enthusiasm really makes me pleased. The court protects your private property, not wantonly embezzling and exploiting you all your kindness. I have gained my heart. Transfer food, pay and military supplies, Australian immigration. I will pay firmly and not let you lose money. For patriotic merchants, the rectification and distribution of routes at various trade points in Southeast Asia and overseas, I will give priority to it."
When he heard that Yinzhen did not accept their request to destroy their family and make the country, the owners were secretly shocked. Prince Xun's accounts were even more refined than them. I don't know how much the price would be for a route in the future. However, after this scene, no one dared to raise the price anymore. Yinzhen's next sentence was clear enough. Patriotism could give priority to route allocation. What is patriotism? Of course, he supported Prince Xun. Not only should the price be fair, but he should also come and go when he asked. However, for those routes, he had to endure it.
Zhang Yuanlong was a little stunned and realized that Yinzhen looked down on these two miscellaneous routes, especially those of Australia and Persia. The routes of Dashi were definitely sky-high. He couldn't help but be shocked. Prince Heng's vision was too ruthless. However, in this way, the owners of small and medium-sized boats had an extra way of survival. They could combine shares to buy routes, and they no longer had to worry about being suppressed or occupied. The owners of merchants would probably lose money this time.
On the first day of the second month, Kangxi's imperial edict arrived in Shanghai, and appointed Shishi Piao Suiyuan General, commanded the Southern Ocean Fleet of the Qing Dynasty Royal Navy to expedition to Europe, and was promoted to Wuge, Yande and Yande as generals, and Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei, Fu Anding, Fu Han and Delgao as deputy generals, and the generals below were also transferred to the first level.
Yinzhen did not expect that just half a year later, Kangxi was promoted to a naval general again on a large scale. However, it is reasonable to think about it. The expedition is about to be promoted to a general. On the one hand, it can inspire morale and boost morale of the army. On the other hand, it is also a practical need. The expedition army has more than 20,000 troops, except for the commander, all the others are below the general, which is really unreasonable.
However, as soon as this imperial edict was released, it caused another shock to the court and the country, and Shanghai was even more excited. The court's reliance on the navy had reached an unparalleled level. In less than a year, the naval general had moved again and again, and had actually moved from white to the general, deputy general, and many generals who had endured their hardships for the rest of their lives, but they could not survive this level.
What makes people even more jealous is that the naval generals are all so young that they are out of tune. The seven major generals promoted, Yande, the oldest, is only 25 years old, and the youngest, Lin Wei, is only 23 years old. In particular, Liu Zhisheng, Lin Wei, and Fu Anding, three rich children with no identity backgrounds, were promoted from white to second-rank deputy general in just three years.
As soon as the news spread, the Qing Dynasty went from south to north, from east to west, and I don’t know how many rich children there were, and the children of all their families even had many officials who were yelling to join the army, join the navy, and study for a lifetime. They may not be able to pass the imperial examination, let alone the Jinshi. Besides, even if they become Jinshi, what if they become Jinshi? I don’t know how many years it will take to survive if they have to climb to the second-rank official? All the ministers in the court who had not seen the capital were white beards?
Looking back, look at the navy. In three years, from a commoner to a deputy general. After a few more battles, how many people are sure to be granted a marquis, study and become a civil servant? What's the use of studying? It's better to take advantage of the golden age of the navy's development to collide with the great fortune. In a few years, you can get a fifth or sixth rank top dress, which is countless times better than staying at home and studying.
This is true for everyone's children, and the children of small families and farmers are even more interested in it. Even if it is an eighth or ninth rank, it is an official position. Compared with the promotion and fighting against the common people, it is a world of difference. The Qing Dynasty once again set off a wave of participating in the navy.
Of course, Yinzhen would not miss this opportunity. He immediately ordered the four major eunuchs in various places to post notices everywhere. Tianjin and Shanghai Naval Academy expanded their enrollment in spring, and Guangzhou Naval Academy was also established soon, and it also recruited 10,000 students.
On the fifth day of the second month, Yinzhen, Yin, Yinxiang and Shi Shipiao led more than 12,000 new recruits and envoys from the Shanghai Naval Academy to Karoba.
