Become the city lord from today

"Shipbuilder?"Darlene's green eyes flickered. She thought about Liu Feng's intention. He actually wanted some shipbuilders. This was really beyond her expectation.

"I don't understand a bit, Mr. Liu Feng, why do you want a shipbuilder? Do you want to build your own boat?"The only thing Darlene could think of was this possibility.

But shouldn't it be? Shipbuilding requires more than just a few workers who know how to build ships. It also requires a lot of money and drawing skills. Starting from scratch, it's better to go to a coastal shipyard. Buy a few boats, it will be cheaper

"Yes, I want to open my own shipyard and I need big ships."Liu Feng nodded lightly. There is nothing bad to say. He has long wanted to start building ships, but he has always been short of shipbuilders.

He only has blueprints for shipbuilding, but he knows nothing about other things. He only knows some rough knowledge about shipbuilding. It can't be done by drawings alone. It also requires experienced carpenters, that is, shipbuilders. They will know the characteristics and fit of the wood.

Liu Feng has been delaying until now and has not started building the ship. He just lacks shipbuilders. Now The opportunity has come. As long as Darlene gives him some experienced shipbuilders, he can try to build a big ship.

"Big ship? There are now twelve large ships parked at the entrance of the alley. Your Excellency Liu Feng, isn't this enough?"Darlene frowned. She found that she was a little confused about this nobleman's thinking.

"No, no, I think Miss Darlene has a little misunderstanding about big ships."Liu Feng chuckled and said, the big ships in this era are still too small. His ideal big ship is a hundred-meter-long treasure ship.

"Misunderstanding about big ships? What's the meaning?"Darlene sat up straight. She wanted to hear what different things this noble man could say.

From the beginning, Liu Feng gave her a very special feeling. Inexplicably, people would pay attention to it, or in other words, the performance on him To use a popular saying on Earth, he is tall, rich and handsome. The clothes he wears are the most exquisite clothes Darlene has ever seen, even better than those worn by Princess Lucy.

"The big ships I'm talking about are not those more than thirty meters long."Liu Feng shook his head. The thirty-meter-long ship, coupled with its structure, has a slow speed. The main reason is that the carrying capacity is not enough.

"Mr. Liu Feng, if you think a thirty-meter ship is too small, you can go to the shipyard and place an order for a fifty-meter ship."

Darlene said seriously. The cost of building a fifty-meter ship is too expensive, and the technology is not very mature. Eight out of ten ships will sink, or they will fall apart halfway.

This is why Darlene's fleet does not have a fifty-meter ship. Because of the big ships, one ship costs hundreds of gold coins. Except for some kingdoms who will buy one or two ships, no one will buy them. The price/performance ratio is too low.

"I don't want those big ships that may sink at any time."Liu Feng rolled his eyes.

The technology of large ships in this era is not mature enough. The main reason is that the hull structure is unreasonable, otherwise the fifty-meter large ship will not fall apart and sink.

"this……"The corners of Darlene's eyes twitched. She thought that if she was not satisfied with the big ship built by the shipyard, then she could build a big ship by herself? This is really a bit ignorant.

"Could you spare me some shipbuilders?"Liu Feng said, he didn't want to explain too much. Everything will be known when the ship is built.

And at the beginning, he was not a big ship. He would first build some medium-sized 50-meter ships to accumulate some experience, and then build bigger ones. The ultimate goal is One hundred meters in size.

As for steel ships, this technology is too limited. We have to wait until the territory develops hundreds of times before we can start planning.

"No problem. How many people does Mr. Liu Feng want?"Darlene looked at Liu Feng with her green eyes for a while, then nodded and said,"The shipbuilders on my ship are all from some small coastal shipyards, and now they mainly work in maintaining ships in our fleet."

"Um!"Liu Feng knows what Darlene means. If not, their fleet also needs boatmen.

"I want twenty people. Liu Feng said

"What? This is impossible."Darlene refused immediately. Her fleet only had about twenty boatmen in total.

"What about number fifteen? Liu Feng frowned. If there were too few people, the progress would be slow. He hoped to see the ship launched next year.

"How much is the salary?"Darlene, let's not talk about the number of people. If the salary is too low, I'm afraid the boatmen won't agree.

"Five hundred copper coins per person, good skills, one silver coin per month."Liu Feng said lightly. He has always been generous to technical staff and was willing to pay heavy salaries.

Poaching people? Isn't that the case? Others want to poach his corner, but they can't poach him at all. Only the corner he can poach

"This... Mr. Liu Feng, are you kidding me?"Darlene opened her mouth slightly, what kind of business is this?

A shipbuilder actually gave five hundred copper coins and one silver coin to a skilled shipbuilder. This was many times more expensive than shipbuilders in big shipyards.

She was very satisfied. The complex look on her face was completely different from her business model of focusing on small profits. This was the first time she had seen someone like Liu Feng spend money like this.

"of course not. Liu Feng affirmed that this shipyard must be built. In the winter, there are extra people idle, and they can be used to cut wood.

"Then I will ask the fifteen boatmen to come to Mr. Liu Feng."Darlene said softly, I'm afraid the boatmen will go crazy trying to grab these fifteen places.

For such a high-paying job, the boatmen will definitely ask for it. There is no way to stop them. She can only start next time. Let's go to the coast to recruit some more boatmen.

"very good."Liu Feng chuckled and said, he has the boatman, plus the drawings he gave, some knowledge of carpentry, and the tools he provided. The date when the first big ship will be launched is completely foreseeable. With the big ship, then The city by the Youshui River will be the largest commercial city in Xiyang City.

As for the sea further away and other countries, we have to wait for larger ships to be launched, otherwise it will be too time-consuming to go back and forth.

Once He opened up the markets of all the cities along the Youshui River. This Youshui River can be called the golden road on the water.

In the early stage, it was okay to rely on Darlene and their fleet, but in the mid-term, sales were very limited. The market in the royal capital, It won't take long for it to be saturated.

Liu Feng had to plan further things. The market in the royal capital hadn't even started yet, and he had already set his sights on all the cities along the Youshui River. Although the three, four, and five combined were not as big as the royal capital. The sales volume is large, but the volume cannot be sustained.

As long as the Youshui River passes through Beifeng City, the river is very wide. It is no problem for a large ship to travel a hundred meters. It also has many branches and passes through many kingdoms or principalities. These are the largest market

"Second update,(￣▽￣)Everything will happen, the territory must be developed, regarding population, resources, time, etc."
