Wei Ming was speechless for a while looking at the chart full of charts in front of him. This is all forbidden sea troubles. It’s really hard to say what kind of combat power it was that the Ming Dynasty’s navy was the number one in the world. Even this chart is from Zheng He's voyages to the West. You asked me to fight with the chart hundreds of years ago? What a trouble! Besides, I don’t know how to fight. You go to the sea to be dizzy. When I see the sea, I’m dizzy. If I find my brother to kill the pirates, you really are looking for the wrong person. But looking at the crowd around the table, Wei Ming's words were really hard to say.
"Master Economics, the situation is like this. Due to the long-term ban on the sea, our navy does not have much combat effectiveness at all. Self-preservation in the coastal waters is okay, but if you want to cross the oceans, then..." Although Wang Zunde has The suspicion that he took out of it, but this is indeed a fact, no one can deny it. The forbidden sea has indeed brought huge losses to the navy.
"What is the distribution of maritime power?" Wei Ming asked. If you can't even figure this out, this battle really won't be fought.
"This, I don't know." Seeing Wei Ming's face darkened, Wang Zunde quickly said again: "But one thing is certain, that is, a group of pirates mixed with fish and dragons attacked our ship. There are everyone in it."
"There are also people from our Da Ming?" Wei Ming said with a frown.
"That's hard to say. But there are indeed people with yellow skin, dark eyes and black hair. It is not a Japanese, or we are Da Ming. North Korea should not have such courage. The small country in the southeast, even if they have pirates. I shouldn't have come here." Chen Bangzhan took it over and said.
"Who has the most people in it?" Wei Ming asked. We must first figure out the target to be hit. Kill the tiger first, and there is nothing to worry about for the remaining flies.
"It's the Dutch. They sent the most people and the most boats. We have a lot of contact with the Dutch at sea, and we can't go wrong." Chen Bangzhan said. Wei Ming nodded. Let Wei Ming look at it. Europeans are all that way, and there is not much difference from one country to another. As for why Chen Bangzhan didn't say he was Portuguese or Spanish, he had to say he was Dutch, he should have his own reason. Wei Ming can still trust Chen Bangzhan. This is also a capable person.
"Dutch?" Wei Ming fell into reverie. In the past few years in history, about the fourth year of Apocalypse, the Dutch should have fought a battle with the Ming Dynasty. For the Penghu Islands. After the fight, the Dutch lost and ran to Taiwan. It should be Daming's pirate who came to adjust, not Yan Siqi, or Li Dan. What are they two doing now? It should be in Taiwan too. It is not unreasonable that Yan Siqi is called the King of Taiwan. People should now be developing Taiwan and dealing with the local people in Taiwan. The job should be quite big. Otherwise, why should the Ming Dynasty and the Dutch want to give him face? If you have time, you have to go to Taiwan to deal with this Taiwanese king and see who it is. If possible, getting him into his navy would definitely be even more powerful. It saves that there isn't even a general who can come up with it now.
"It's absolutely impossible to defend only. How can we in the Ming Dynasty do such a thing? If there are pirates, they should be driven into the sea to feed the sharks. There are also abundant resources on the sea, and now we plan the territorial waters. Great, is it also a benefit to future generations? Oh, by the way, how about the Dutch's equipment and combat effectiveness?" Wei Ming said.
Although I don't understand what else there are in the sea besides fish that can eat people and water that can drown people, but since the people in the management say yes, then you should have the right to have it. Chen Bangzhan thought for a while, and said: "The Dutch's combat effectiveness can only be said to be average. We suffer from our unfamiliarity with overseas. Their equipment is not as good as ours. The boat is small and pitiful. The biggest. The boat is also forty to fifty meters in size, and it is not comparable to our boats. It is just that we no longer have the treasure boats we thought of back then. Otherwise, even pressure can crush them to death." Chen Bang Looking ahead, I am very energetic, but I am a little lonely behind. It hasn't been to sea for hundreds of years. I think that Zheng He's car, which was hundreds of meters long and tens of meters wide, has long since ceased to exist. Why don't you want such a big boat to go to sea? Is it for viewing? What a joke. Now even if you want to replicate a treasure ship, you may not be able to make it. After all, the ship industry has stopped for hundreds of years. How easy is it to find such a good craftsman? Even if there are design drawings and no craftsman, it will be no good. After all, no matter what it is, someone has to do it.
"Okay, I understand. Well, now that the sea is open, the shipbuilding industry should thrive. The private capital is small and the manpower is small. I don't know when I want to support such a large industry. You go and recruit. Craftsmen, the treatment is preferential. And tell them that if anyone can build a treasure ship, they will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. However, it must be made clear that the ship is the most important weapon of the country and shipbuilding needs to be kept secret. It is best to keep every step They are all carried out separately. The production of parts is only for the production of parts, the assembly is for assembly, the debugging is for debugging, and the design is for design. It is enough for everyone to have only one craft. This will not only be able to quickly complete shipbuilding, but also be able to do it. It's confidential. Even if one or two people betrayed, it doesn't matter. It is absolutely impossible to build such a huge ship in one or two steps." Wei Ming said solemnly. This matter has to be taken seriously. Everything has a copycat in the previous life. This is a copycat, and that is also a copycat, which bothers Wei Ming. If it doesn't work out, you will buy fake and shoddy products and put them on your body, and at most a few days of uncomfortableness will pass. If it's at the national level, well, today I have developed a new type of warship, which is very easy to use, and when I am preparing to show my skills. Within two days, I saw, hey, the neighboring countries are also there, except that the color of the lacquer on the outside is different from the hanging flag, and the rest is exactly the same. How can people accept this? I spent ten or twenty years researching this thing, and the co-authoring was taken away by you without any effect, and it could even threaten us in turn. This is simply a disaster for a country and we have to guard against it.
"My lord, I understand, I'll go down and do it now." Chen Bangzhan and Wang Zunde retired. Wei Ming stretched his waist and prepared to rest for a while. Now he can see, what's so good about being a high official? Do everything well, because you have to set an example. No one praises you when you are done, as if that is what you should do. If you don't do it well, there will definitely be thousands of people scolding you, which is simply thankless. Also, the most important point is that there are so many things, and everything has to be decided by you. No, I was just about to take a break, and something came to my door.
"Master, there is a letter from Shaanxi." Xiao Dongzi knocked on the door and walked in.
"Hey, how come I am such a laborious life. Come on, let me see." Wei Ming took the letter, and the things written on it were not disturbing, but it could be said to be a good thing. This year, whether it's the cement business or the potato, sweet potato and corn harvest, it's good. That is, the yield of corn is not as good as that of potatoes and sweet potatoes. The yield per mu is less than a thousand catties. Now the old house manager in Shaanxi has said whether it will reduce corn production next year. After all, although there is no major drought this year, it is said that the weather is smooth and it is estimated that people will be beaten to death by bricks. There will be enough food. It is imperative to grow high-yield potatoes and sweet potatoes in large areas. This caused Wei Ming to have a headache. You say that every day is potato stewed yam, who can stand it? You know, they are all high-starch foods, and you will get fat if you eat too much. Wei Ming had a classmate when he was in college, and his hometown is rich in potatoes. When the economy was still underdeveloped, potatoes became an essential food. In the end, he became a little fat man. Do you want to become fat guys one by one? Think about this matter carefully.
