Daming pirates

After listening to the series of numbers reported by Yu Xiaotian, these guys' eyes widened, especially those of the warriors in the Navy and Soldier systems. Now they only know how to train with their men. According to

They were ordered to go out to work, or to patrol, or to inspect passing ships. In short, they only cared about the things under their own eyes, and they rarely cared about making money.

Anyway, with the Board of Directors and Yu Xiaotian and the others here, they just wait for their pay at the beginning of every month. As for where the money comes from, they never really care.

Now I heard that making cannons and selling them can actually bring such a high profit. The eyes of these guys suddenly widened. They didn't expect that they could make such money by doing this business now. According to what Yu Xiaotian said, this

It seems that business can be done!

Hearing that Yu Xiaotian said that the business of selling artillery guns was so profitable, the guys were a little stunned. Liu Laoliu, who had been silent for the whole time, still spoke to Xiaotian and said: "Master, please do as you please."

Having said that, it seems that selling cannons is indeed profitable! This should not be false, and the brothers in the council should also know it!

But the reason why everyone objected just now is mainly because if we sell these powerful guys, if one day someone takes these guys we sold to them, turns around and deals with us, then we

Hasn't it become a joke?

So this is the reason for everyone’s opposition. The boss won’t seriously take out our precious treasures and put up a price to sell them!”

When everyone heard this, Liu Laoliu's words were considered to be the key point. They all wanted to know how to solve the problem if Yu Xiaotian wanted to sell cannons.

After Yu Xiaotian heard this, he asked Liu Laoliu to sit down and talk. With a smile on his face, he said with a relaxed face: "This is a simple matter! We can sell monkey versions of cannons!"

It was the first time that everyone heard the word monkey version. They were confused and confused for a while. They could only stare at Yu Xiaotian in a daze, waiting for Yu Xiaotian to explain to them.

Yu Xiaotian knew that these people definitely didn't understand what the monkey version meant, so he smiled and said to them: "The so-called monkey version actually means shrinking.

Of course I can't give away our most powerful thing! We can sell cannons, but the cannons sold must not be more powerful than the ones we use for ourselves!

For example, the No. 3 cannon we use is definitely different from the No. 3 cannon we want to sell. The No. 3 cannon we want to sell looks similar to our No. 3 cannon, but we can make the cannon wall thinner.

The charge should not be too large, the barrel should be slightly shorter, the range should be closer than our own, and the power should be smaller than ours!

As for the muskets! This is even simpler. I will not sell the flintlock guns we currently use for our own use, and I will not sell the other short muskets you have in your waist now!

But we can sell bird guns, the kind with a match rope. Now no one in the Ming Dynasty knows how powerful bird guns are, so if we sell bird guns, people will still squeeze their heads to buy them. We use flintlock guns. One day, we will sell bird guns.

They say someone used a blunderbuss to hit us, are you still afraid of them?

This is what I mean by the monkey version. In short, we can sell, but we can’t sell the best things to others. We always have to shrink the price! Do you understand?”

After hearing what Yu Xiaotian said, everyone finally understood what Yu Xiaotian was thinking this time. What Yu Xiaotian was interested in was the current demand for firearms from various forces along the coast, and he wanted to benefit from the huge benefits.

You can get a piece of the pie, but you won’t put all the big weapons that Sea Wolf depends on for a living on the table and let anyone buy them.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian had already made a plan, which was to take out several items specially used to make money and go out to cheat money. In this way, everyone has nothing to worry about. Although they sold cannons,

But the guy in his hands is better than the one he sold to others, so naturally everyone has no objections.

The people in the council hall were thinking quickly, and they immediately realized how much benefit this deal might bring to them. Although they, the Sea Wolf, had gained a lot after Chu Cailao's battle, they still had to fight against this.

Before the battle, a lot of Sea Wolf's business was delayed, and the losses were not small. After the two attacks were offset, Sea Wolf actually didn't make much money.

And now Yu Xiaotian is determined to continue spending money lavishly, recruiting soldiers and horses, dividing and relocating factories, carrying out extensive construction projects in chicken coops and Tamsui, building new workshops and boathouses, and continuing to

Recruiting immigrants puts great pressure on the council's financial expenditures, and they already feel that they are stretched thin by just relying on these existing transactions.

Now that Yu Xiaotian wants to do the arms business, this naturally opens up another way of making money for them. If they were not initially worried that these cannons might be used against them, the Sea Wolf, after they were sold, the director

The church will definitely not object.

Now after Yu Xiaotian clarified their doubts, Zhao Mazi and others in the council immediately raised their hands and feet in agreement. The weapons used to be in their sea wolf, but it was a place that only spent money but did not make money. They had to invest every month.

A large amount of money was used to purchase copper and iron, and to support hundreds of craftsmen, which accounted for a large portion of Sea Wolf's expenses.

Now, if they can sell artillery and muskets, then the Ordnance Institute may change the past of just spending money but not making any money. In the future, if it doesn't work well, it may also become a way for the Council to make a lot of money.

Even if the artillery and gun workshops of the Ordnance Institute cannot make money, just to cover their expenses, the people in the council will be grateful. This is equivalent to letting them get rid of a huge financial burden. For them, there is no doubt that

That's great news.

So this matter was driven by Xiaotian, and finally gained everyone's support, but the navy and soldiers still had some opinions on it.

Because they currently want to expand their strength and add more manpower and ships. Although Yu Xiaotian said that the cannons they sell will not be better than the ones they use themselves, after all, this will still squeeze their production capacity. The more they sell, the more they sell.

The fewer new cannons they received, the warriors were a little dissatisfied with this.

In the end, Yu Xiaotian agreed to them that even if he was doing this business, he would first ensure that the quantity delivered to them every month would not be reduced before selling to outsiders. Then these guys shut up.

As various affairs resumed after the war, Nanyue Island became busy again. After gaining the reputation of defeating Mr. Chu Cai, many maritime merchants began to trust Sea Wolf more, and a new group of merchants appeared.

Bringing ships to Nanyue Island, some came here to deliver goods, and some simply rented land here and started building their business stores, and started doing business here.

Nanyue Island is relatively close to the mainland, close to Xinghua Prefecture and Fuzhou Prefecture, and it happens to be on the main north-south transportation route along the coast. In addition, it is not under the actual control of the government on land. Most maritime merchants are interested in this island.

I am willing to come here to do business.

In addition, although the Seawolves have to take some money from their business, the rules of the Seawolves are very good. In addition to the clearly stated water withdrawals, the Seawolves tribe will never allow them to take the opportunity to blackmail the merchants who come here to do business, so they openly

It seems that the sea wolves take a lot of money, but in fact it is much lower than the up and down costs of doing business on land.

As a result, when the weather became hot after May, more and more merchant ships came to Nanyue Island for trading. Even Japanese people from the Japanese country heard the news and went to Nanyue Island to purchase goods and transported them back to the Japanese country for sale.

, including some Ryukyu merchants from the Ryukyu Kingdom, also began to appear on Nanyue Island, coming here to sell various goods.

All of a sudden, Nanyue Island became extremely busy. The docks in the shopping mall area were almost not allowed to rest all day long. There were boats constantly going to the pier to load and unload goods, which made the Nanyue Island shopping area bustling with people.

.

Sea Wolf is happy to see this happen, because whenever a ship comes, Sea Wolf will draw some water from the cargo on and off the ship. The more merchant ships that come here to do business, the more commission they will take.

Moreover, after the business in the shopping mall area got better, it also boosted the business of some surrounding industries, restaurants, and kiosks. Seeing such good business, the people in the council began to twitch their index fingers.

So the council suggested to Yu Xiaotian that instead of watching the money being made by the few restaurants and journalists on the island, it would be better for them to do the business themselves and earn back the money.

Yu Xiaotian originally didn't care too much about these businesses. Although he knew that the skin and meat industry was very profitable, he always felt that it was a bit uncomfortable for him to make such money now that he was in the pirate business. However, after listening to the opinions of the Council,

My mind also started to move.

Selling sex has been around since ancient times, and it is an ancient profession that has never been banned in this society. Wherever there is business or a large number of men, there will be such a demand market, and there will naturally be people doing this business.

In the past, before Sea Wolf came to Nanyue Island, in order to solve the physiological problems of its members, it had purchased some female slaves from the mainland and used them as official prostitutes within Sea Wolf as rewards to encourage its members to do good work.

Although the Sea Wolf tribe now has another channel to vent their anger after the establishment of two press halls in the commercial area on the island, and Sea Wolf has canceled its internal official prostitution, it seems that this business is still quite good.

The most important thing for Yu Xiaotian is that he has taken a fancy to a place like the Journal Hall. Regarding its ability to collect intelligence, guests from all over the world often chat in the Journal Hall, or reveal something to the reporter's pillow, so in the

Among all industries, the Journalist Office is undoubtedly the best place to inquire about all kinds of news.

Therefore, considering that Sea Wolf will become bigger and bigger in the future, the demand for information in all aspects will also become higher and higher. In the past, we only relied on Maosheng Source, which was established on land, to obtain information. Now it can no longer meet the needs of Sea Wolf, so the director

Tang proposed to build a record house for their own operation on Nanyue Island, which coincided with Yu Xiaotian's needs for collecting intelligence.

After thinking of this, Yu Xiaotian immediately agreed to the council's suggestion and allowed the council to intervene in this business.

As for what the council does, he doesn't want to pay too much attention to it. Anyway, among the thousands of subordinates under him now, there are all kinds of people from all walks of life in the past, and there is no shortage of people who have done this job to deal with this matter.

Moreover, Mao Shengyuan's business in various parts of the mainland is currently very prosperous, and the channels are quite wide. There is no big problem in collecting some beautiful prostitutes to do skin and flesh business on Nanyue Island.
