Fuzhou.

The Nan'an House is brightly lit.

“Gentlemen, let us drink this cup together for the great Ming Dynasty!”

Yang Qing said with a toast.

A table of officials raised a glass of praise for the great life of the people, expressing their praise for the great Ming Dynasty, their loyalty to His Majesty, and the praise of the protectorate of the country...

The reason for Yang Qinglai Fuzhou is very simple...

He had never cared about the province before.

I really didn't care.

In the past, his attitude towards Fujian was very simple, that is, he was lost to the Zheng family, just like the town of Yunnan, or the current Shugong Town in Sichuan, so that the Nan'an Hou family guarded Fujian.In addition to the reform of the Imperial Chinese Academy of Fujian and the Weizhi of Fujian Province, he has not interfered in anything in Fujian, and all the management of Fujian has been lost to Zheng Zhilong to solve.Even the governor of Fujian, the government of the government, and the local members of the class according to the inspection, were appointed after consulting Zheng Zhilong's opinions.

This province is a special situation, if not dependent on overseas trade and Taiwan's development, then Fujian want to feed itself, it can only eat ground melon.

Therefore, it is necessary to support the Zheng family.

Only the Zheng family can take Fujian businessmen to really rely on overseas trade to get rich, and only the Zheng family can organize more Fujian people to cross the strait and open up large-scale wild fields in the eastern plains opposite Taiwan.Then use the grain there to supplement the gap in Fujian, and the local mountains of Fujian, a large number of tea is planted in exchange for silver, and finally form a complete complementarity on both sides of the strait.

Only so.

But the result is that the Zheng family and those gentlemen become bigger and bigger.

After all, overseas trade is in their hands.

Although they are included in the Nanyang company, but from the top of the Nanyang company to the navy general, Fujian people almost half, even the Beiyang company and Beiyang Marine Division, the current number of Fujian people are still more than one-third, Daming Navy is almost the end of the Min Navy.

In the past, Yang Qing did not care about this, he needed these de facto allies.

Why did Nanyang Airlines sail to Egypt and East Africa in less than a decade?Why did the Navy build the most powerful fleet in the Pacific in less than a decade?The reason is very simple, Zheng Zhilong's pirate regiment, countless ancestors along the coast of Fujian have sailed across East Africa, and the same number of sailors who have gone to Southeast Asia have mastered the best shipbuilding technology and control the merchants who originally existed in the complete maritime trade chain.Their solid foundation has long been laid, and even because of the court's many inappropriate policies, they are like grass that is crushed by stones, they can not really grow, and they can only look for gaps to drill outside.

Then Yang Qing immediately removed the stone.

And he poured a basket of fertilizer, so the rest grew wildly.

Without this base...

Yang Qing wants to develop to the current everything, then at least ten years, this era is not everyone can sail, Huangzhu Denglai water master can only sail on the coast, even the black ocean, that is, the southeast of the Yellow Sea deep water area are not afraid to enter ah!But Zheng Zhilong's fleet dared to run from the South China Sea to Japan's vast ocean.

And now...

It’s time to kill the donkey!

Yang Qing raised his glass and drank it, and then the donkeys did a glass of wine.

"Gentlemen, I have discussed with Nan'an Hou, and will set up Fujian Railway Company to completely solve the land transportation problem in Fujian, and the first phase will first build three short-distance railways from Zhangzhou to Xiamen, from Fuzhou to Mawei, and from Quanzhou to Anhai."In order to solve the problem of sea silting in the three states of Fuzhangquan, at the same time, the customs of Quanzhou was reopened, and the exploration and inspection line was also started to build a railway from Fuzhou to Nanping, from Xiamen to Nanping and then from Nanping to Jiangxi.Five years to repair the first phase, ten years through the second phase, fifteen years of railway out of Fujian, then from Nanchang to Ningbo railway, from the south to Nanchang railway, all can be repaired, you can take the train from here at a speed of 100 miles per hour, day and night to the southern capital.

He said exaggeratingly.

There was an exclamation, including the sound of Zheng Zhilong.

They do not know that the protection of the country gave them more than half a century from our Qingguangxu to the founding of the country, all the railways in Fujian have been planned into cakes and painted in front of them.

They totally believe it is true.

Most of them visited the Thomas train in the south, which is still in operation, and even hung up special passenger cars and even luxury cars for all experience to ride for free, and built an additional small train station to stop and repair something.In short, Yang Qing has been in the square in front of the Great Hall of the Four People, perfecting it as a miniature railway transportation system, and even repairing the extension line...

It is actually a real railway.

From the lower gate to his steel factory.

After all, always running in Nanjing, the soot for a long time can not stand, this thing is not electric, said Nanjing air pollution has begun to increase, Yang Qing has to get this thing out of the city.

“Our tea is easy!”

An old man said.

"This morning in the tea farm fried out, do not dark can be sent to the pony tail of the deep water port ship, and then the train Shanghai ship from Taiwan did not have to tomorrow morning, can be transported to Wuyishan tea farmers."In fact, without Taiwan's rice, Jiangxi's rice can be transported, and even the goods shipped out of the Yangtze River can be transported by train to Fuzhou Port.When our national railway network is built, your tea is not only sold to Europe, but even in the western region to drink your tea, then you sell not tens of thousands of shares a year, but hundreds of thousands, millions of them.Gentlemen, the railway runs through the land, the fleet crosses the sea, and the railway and the port are the future!”

Yang Qing held his right arm and shouted.

Then the whole living room, along with the outside, cheered at once.

It is very much like a pyramid scheme, with his acting talent, a provincial to promote railway, with his sci-fi-sense future, and a railway that exists only on paper, and those who deceive the landlords and old wealth to take out real money and silver to buy his various railway stocks.The whole of Daming is in a frenzy for this, after all, the people of this era are still inexperienced, they only see the light of the wealth brought by the railway, but they do not know the difficulty of building the railway.Perhaps they also too trust the protection of the country, after all, the protection of the country is not a matter of money, these years he is like a stone into gold, leading the Ming businessmen to open up the source of wealth, and then quickly earn a lot of money.

Those landowners and old wealth only know that with the protection of the country, they must become rich, and the public products of the country must be high-quality.

But they missed something...

What is the protection of the public intentionally?

"Brother Feihuang, how many ships are still in Hong Kong by Nanyang Company, and how many ships will return to Hong Kong in the next six months?"

In the cheers, Yang Qing asked Zheng Zhilong.

"At present in Xiamen and this side, there are Zhoushan and Shanghai, which should add up to more than 30, and there are more than 30 ships that have returned to Hong Kong in half a year.If it is urgent, there are twenty new ships in the half-year, and the sailors are easily matched.”

Zheng Zhilong said.

At present, there are nearly 100 merchant ships in Nanyang.

But it is still not as good as the Dutch, the Dutch East India Company merchant ships plus the merchant ships, combined with more than two hundred, but slightly more than the British East India Company, the latter because of the arrival of too late, currently less than a hundred.French Chinese companies have the fewest merchant ships because they have no colonies, the nearest trading post is also on the island of Reunion, and the British and Dutch will certainly not welcome them, so French Chinese companies are trying to make the same forays into India.In fact, the main competitors in the South China Sea are the boss Netherlands, the second big Ming Nanyang and Guangzhou's Jinla two companies, the third British East India Company, but the Zhenla company is only Malacca, they are Annan, Zhenla, Siam and Luzon trade.

As for Spain and Portugal, they had become more and more in decline, especially Portugal, which was completely submerged in the southern fleet of the Southern Ocean and Jinla Company.

They can only survive in the cracks.

And Spain is good in the American route, after all, this other person can not grab, they from the Ming out of the goods directly to the Americas, or in the local sales or land transport to the Caribbean coast ship to Europe.Then silver was brought from the Americas, and the Portuguese were now more and more dependent on the Spaniards, after all, the Spaniards were the least popular in Daming, while the Portuguese were the most liked by the Cantonese gentry.

The current pattern of maritime transport is like this.

To the west of Malacca is the South Ocean, and the two East India compete.

But the South is not a good Cape.

Although competing with the other two in India, the other two dare not offend Yang Qing, so this can only be tacitly accepted by reality, and the two are mainly European trade, that is, the real fire, and it is common to dress up as pirates at sea.

"If I think it is good, Britain and the Netherlands should be at war."

Yang Qing said.

It was September 161.

In its original history, Cromwell officially passed the Navigation Act next month, prohibiting foreign merchant ships, mainly from the Netherlands, transporting goods from any British colony, and all British colonial goods were only allowed to be exported to mainland England or other colonies, and other countries' goods were not allowed to be directly shipped to British colonies.

The Dutch were finally unbearable.

In May next year, warships from both sides encountered each other in the Dover Strait because of ceremonial problems.

The First Anglo-Dutch War broke out.

"I understand, I'll be ready, and when they fight, we'll take the opportunity to take the gantry, and the sultan of Johor will be useless for the Dutch to call for help, and the Dutch who are fighting the British will certainly not have the courage to provoke us."

Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

"Not only there, but also the Medan."

Yang Qing said.

“The Medan?”

Zheng Zhilong is a bit confused.
