The sea breeze in winter is indeed a bit cool, and it warms up after noon.
"It's cold." Liu'er wrapped her arms around her, and stood on the bow of the ship and shouted coldly. Several seabirds standing on the mast also screamed in concert.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also standing on the deck. They didn't wear only a single coat like Liu Er. The winter here is not as good as that on the South Island of Shanghai. Sometimes they have to add more clothes.
Xin'er, Wei Wei, and Li Xun also followed. Several people wanted to find some islands here, and build some buildings on them, so that they would be convenient for boat trips at night. In fact, they were building lighthouses.
The main reason is that when the fishing fleet from the previous two days came here to catch a shrimp species at night, two boats hit the rocks. Even the experienced fishermen in this place are not willing to come here at night, even if the shrimps are really worth the money. , One is easy to die in the sea if one is not careful.
Not to mention the reefs, there is no regularity in the water flow here. The experienced fishermen in the local area have not yet reached the state of irregularity and regularity. The two boats that hit the reef were towed back, and the people on board were rescued. Woke up.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had a serious discussion after hearing this, and finally decided to build lighthouses wherever possible dangers, large reefs, large lighthouses, and small ones, leaving special ones. The people are guarded so that people who go out fishing at night can relax.
This cost is nothing compared to the kind of shrimp that costs 200 cents per pound. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan don’t know that kind of shrimp. They taste different indeed. The most important thing is to draw the sphere of influence. , Use these lighthouses to unite people's hearts.
Just like in Zhuangzi's time, whether it is day or night, it always makes people feel safe. If successful, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are going to build more of this kind of lighthouses, repair them farther away, and connect them to the Internet. It can only provide convenience to the fishing team on its own side, and also allow fishermen from other surrounding states to come here to fish.
"Light is always able to guide people in the direction of advancement. There are too few strong men who can explore alone in the dark, so give them a piece of light." Zhang Xiaobao stood on the bow and said, watching the flying seabirds.
"What about the darkness? I finally know why you want to get your father here. You want to attack the surrounding countries, or those tribes. You just build a lighthouse to protect the fishermen on your side. It's just one aspect, now I guessed it.
Regardless of the investment in building so many lighthouses, as long as there are lighthouses, there will be fishermen going to fish in the evening. Tell me about your next plan. I want to know how you do it. "
Wang Juan is standing behind Zhang Xiaobao. She does not think that Zhang Xiaobao will build a lighthouse so far away on a whim. It has been more than half a day away from the shore. Looking at the situation of the boat, Zhang Xiaobao seems to want to go further. .
"Let us bear the darkness and evil. I don't want to use force to solve the people in the surrounding countries and tribes. The lighthouse is used for boating at night, but it can also be used during the day. You can use flags to guide those fishing boats. , I will arrange at least three people in each place where the lighthouse is located.
These three people will stay here for three months. When the time comes, they will change their shifts. After the dock here is up, they will send a big boat to patrol the area where there is a lighthouse. One of the three guarding the lighthouse must be able to cook. , And can't do too badly, you can train.
At that time, no matter whether it is day or night, fishermen will be able to eat good things at such a lighthouse. They don’t have to eat the kind of food and rice balls that have evolved into sushi in Japan. Don’t underestimate such things. For a nation The cohesion is really important, this is the feeling of home. "
Zhang Xiaobao finally showed his fangs and was about to "invade" the surrounding countries or tribes near the sea.
Wang Juan also knew that this could not be prevented. The reason why she was able to guess that Zhang Xiaobao wanted to do something to others was actually because she also thought so. There are a lot of resources around, why not? Keep it for others, will they be grateful? Will you wait until you are strong, but can't calculate you
But Wang Juan always felt that this investment was too much, especially if he would use a big ship to patrol in the future, if the big ship was to transport goods or something, it would definitely make more money.
"What I asked you was how to cheat others, not about your cooking and cohesion, and the boat, how many are you going to take out? Is it staffed?"
"Oh, ask this, do you think there are too many ships and waste resources? This matter is easy to understand. What are the twenty or so aircraft carrier formations used for? What are the dozen or so aircraft carrier formations in our country at that time? A soldier who does not stand, deterrence, I think the patrol boat can be a group of two.
There are also 20 large ships that have been parked at the Qinzhou Wharf, forming two formations, one formation to stay behind, and one formation ready to go out to help us at any time. The staff is also easy to solve. If there are few people here, then recruit from other places. .
This is not aggression. Force is only a guarantee of peace. Think about it, if we make lighthouses on small islands farther away, or even send a big ship to be a lighthouse where it has not been built, it will be connected to it. Other neighboring countries, who do you say would be the happiest? "
Zhang Xiaobao knows that this matter has a long way to go, but it will always be so long if you don't do it. If you do it, it will develop slowly.
"Who? Of course it is the fishermen. They can go farther to fish. Do you want the fishermen to argue with them and then send troops over?" Wang Juan thought of this all at once.
Zhang Xiaobao felt a little helpless, and said to Wang Juan: "You can't kill people? The happiest ones are actually the merchants. Their sense of smell is the most sensitive. Then they will conduct various trades there. These forces are just afraid of the locals. The guarantee of conflicts between people and them, and the things that can be solved by economic means, who will solve them by war?"
"Ah, it turned out to be like this. I thought you wanted to exterminate others, so as to ensure that no one will bully our country in the future." Wang Juan understood now.
"I don't do that kind of thing. You are not weak. Others can bully you? Just like when my dad first arrived here, the four judges wanted to get rid of them. What is the result now? Killed, and for the rest of us, there should still be contradictions and conflicts, conflicts and conflicts, and wars and wars.
In a big way, without war, there will be no progress. In a small way, if you have butter cakes, I can only eat the rice noodles, or the thick noodles. You have a small pistol, and I have one. A sniper rifle, do you think I will guard Wowotou to keep peace with you? "
Zhang Xiaobao knows this kind of humanity very well, so he never complains, even if he encounters natural disasters, he stubbornly withstands it, and sincerely prays that it is better to fight on his own.
Wang Juan also agreed with this idea, but suddenly she thought of a very important question, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "No, your force is to protect the merchants, but you can guarantee that the merchants trade fairly with those people? The merchants know that There is a big backer behind them, and they will try their best to keep the price down."
"Yeah, that's it. Otherwise, who raises my army? Isn't it collected money from these merchants? Fair business? The so-called fairness is that both sides feel that they can obtain the benefits they need. This is the fairest thing, etc. In the future, the fleet here only guarantees that the merchant will not be attacked by force by the opponent, but will not help the Master to attack actively.
If a businessman has the ability, he will fight it himself. If he has no ability, he will think of other ways. The army is a guarantee, not a nanny. Of course, if a businessman has the ability to provoke an attack on him, then the fleet will be Will be dispatched, this is also the merchant's ability.
In fact, what you said is correct. It is a kind of aggression, under the protection of force, and harmonious unilateral trade. That's why there are firms under our control. The purpose is to maintain this very unfair unilateral trade. Businessmen, whoever breaks this rule will weigh whether their own strength can compete with the Chamber of Commerce.
If those countries and tribes are smart, they will use this temporary unilateral trade to develop themselves, and stupid people will be immersed in the rich land resources to enjoy. In this case, who is the rabbit and who is it? Wolves, make judgments high and low, I respect the rabbits that stand up and kick the eagle, and will never pity the wolves that have shrunk into a group of waiting to die. "
Under the influence of the gratitude of an abstract country, Zhang Xiaobao is unwilling to do purely predatory commercial actions against the people of his country, but when he goes outside, he can't control so much. The world is so big, he is not like a master. Exist, then there is a selfish side. What he does in his own country is to harvest spiritually, and when facing other places, it is in material aspects.
Even if Zhang Xiaobao is Gautama. Siddhartha, it is Muhammad, it is Jesus, that is also no less war, who is less bloody? Those doctrines are their excuses for aggression, and Zhang Xiaobao's excuse is that you have good things, and I want to bring them.
Wang Juan just wanted to say something, Li Xun came over at this moment and asked, "Xiaobao, your family is really willing to invest so much to build a lighthouse? A lighthouse may not cost much, but if there are too many repairs, it is not ordinary. People can hold it, why don't I invest some money too?"
"My family can support it. If you want to join the group, just say it. You don’t have to pretend to be a helper. Believe it or not, my family will send the news back within ten days. After ten days, we will raise 200,000 tongs, and use two more. Come here for monthly shipment?"
Zhang Xiaobao doesn’t care what Li Xun’s identity is. Li Longji usually yells one by one, acknowledging your strength, but is unwilling to be suppressed by you. If you are great, you will give you something. As for too much respect, don’t count on it. The only respect for Li Longji is because he sometimes really considers the people.
"Believe, believe, how can you not believe it, it's not easy for your Zhang family to make money, do you know how your family is going to make money this time?" Li Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhang Xiaobao's words. I don't like playing with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan anymore.
"It will take a long time to make money. In the past few years, you must increase investment. If you have money, then take out more. When you make money, you will get a share." Zhang Xiaobao said to Li Xun.
"I have money, I still have it, do I have to give it out at once?" Li Xun no matter what is very long or short, anyway, he feels that he is still young and can wait. Usually things that make money for a long time, the money you make is also Will be more.
