Chapter 256： Shipbuilding plan

After thinking about it, Wu Changqing was surprised to find that he didn't have any suitable products to sell to the West.

If it is too advanced, the people over there don't need it. For example, if you get a bunch of batteries now, they will only say what it is.

A little bit advanced, Wu Changqing worried that it would inspire their people's wisdom and promote their development. For example, if you sell steam engines, the West will definitely pay a big price to buy them.

However, after they buy it, they will definitely disassemble the research. As long as they are given enough time, there will always be someone who can crack the mystery.

The West also has talents, or, because of the geographical location, the scientific and cultural atmosphere there is relatively strong, and there are more scientific talents than China in this period.

If you help them enter the steam age ahead of time, it will be a big loss. At least, Wu Changqing does not have such a good heart. He even hopes that Western Europe will always maintain a primitive feudal society.

If conditions are available in the future, technological development in Western Europe must be suppressed.

Too advanced and not too advanced can not be sold, and backward products are destined to be unable to make too high profits, just like cloth, they can only win by quantity.

Although the fabric factory in Songjiang, Suzhou, Nanjing has been expanding wildly, the profit brought by its production capacity is still too small for a power.

Maybe you can sell sailing warships to them.

An idea came to Wu Changqing's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he found it feasible.

If you want to say what is most lacking in the West, it is undoubtedly ships.

Only with ships can ocean trade be carried out.

As for the crew, there is never a shortage. Those desperadoes may not even know how to swim, and they can go on board as sailors.

In order to build ships, the Queen of England even called on the whole country to plant trees, the kind of nanmu specially used for shipbuilding.

It was with this move that Britain later built much more ships than Spain, and then defeated Spain in one fell swoop, became a maritime hegemon and an empire that never sets in the sun.

Ships are very in short supply in the West.

As long as it is manufactured, there is no need to worry about not being sold, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell at a good price.

Moreover, Wu Changqing has another advantage. He can use the most advanced technology to build the most advanced Galen ship.

At present, there are two main types of merchant ships in the West, one is the slightly backward Kara ship, and the other is the Galen ship that can be equipped with artillery to defend against pirates.

This kind of ship has a large loading capacity and strong protection. It is currently the most popular ship of ocean-going merchants.

There are not many shipyards that can build Galen ships, because this is now a high-end technology.

Moreover, even the shipyards that have mastered this technology have very low efficiency, and there is no assembly line production. The manufacturing is mainly based on the experience of the employees, and the cost is very high.

But even so, the profit of shipbuilding is still considerable.

Therefore, Wu Changqing intends to vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry. First, it can be sold to Western European merchants to make money, and secondly, it can also be sold to local merchants, encouraging local merchants to go to sea and selling goods directly to Western Europe, so as not to give foreigners the opportunity to make a difference.

In addition to building Galen ships, Wu Changqing also plans to build professional sailing warships and sell them to Western Europeans.

Professional warships are not as big as Galen ships, but they are longer and faster than Galen ships.

Because the Galen ship needs to load as much cargo as possible, the hull has to be made very large. For professional warships, only combat power is considered. In order to install more artillery on the hull, the hull must be very long.

Because of the higher speed, the hull cannot be made too large.

In short, professional warships and ordinary commercial Galen ships are completely different, and when battleships and Galen ships fight, Galen ships have little chance of winning.

One thing that is very beneficial to Wu Changqing at present is that the Western naval warfare thinking has not been well developed, so there is no professional warship.

They fought, and the battleship they used was the Galen ship. The firepower was very weak. Basically, the artillery made a difference. To decide the victory or defeat, we still have to rely on the side battle.

And professional warships can be equipped with a large number of artillery, which can directly sink the opponent.

What Wu Changqing can be sure of is that the professional warships he has built will surely be popular in Western Europe.

After all, at this time, Western European countries are fighting for maritime hegemony.

The arms business has always been the most profitable business.

Build sails first and sell them to opponents, and then drive steamboats to bully them in the future.

Wu Changqing couldn't help snickering after thinking about that picture. This method is really a bit detrimental. He can imagine the scene of those foreigners vomiting blood when they see the steamboat.

shipbuilding.

Wu Changqing wrote two words on the paper, and then spent 100,000 technological points in the system mall to light up the manufacturing craftsmanship of Galen ships and sailing warships, and then write these crafts on the paper.

Subsequently, Wu Changqing issued a shipbuilding order.

In addition to government construction, he also encouraged private capital to enter. Even if it is private capital, he will provide those advanced technologies, and he only receives a small dividend.

The merchants he ruled make money, which is equivalent to him making money.

In addition to issuing the shipbuilding order, Wu Changqing also found Wu Yi and gave him an important task to send the navy to Ningbo and Fuzhou to experience.

All ships trying to trade in Ningbo and Fuzhou will be seized, and all ships coming out of Ningbo and Fuzhou will be seized.

This time, Wu Changqing will also be a robber.

He wants everyone to know that if he wants to do ocean trade, he has to go to Songjiang obediently. Otherwise, you will have to worry about pirates.

As for whether this would lead to revenge from Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian, he did not consider.

He doesn't care whether it will attract criticism from Zhejiang and Fujian businessmen.

He is not worried about whether it will attract protests and resistance from foreigners.

In the face of interests, these are all clouds. Dare to hinder him from making money, that is to do right with him, and that is to seek death.

"Brother Wu, this task is very arduous. After all, you were on the river before, but this time you are going to sea. However, I hope you can overcome the difficulties. Ocean trade is very important to us. Without that trade, we cannot afford so many troops. ."

Wu Changqing said that there is a big difference between the surface of the sea and the surface of the river. If Wu Yi can't do it, he can only choose other capable people to do it.

He called Wu Yi and said Brother Wu. That was because everyone started the incident together, but he didn't really regard him as the eldest brother.

Wu Yi knew this very well.

He said: "The subordinates must complete the task of the general. If they can't, the subordinates will come to see you.

This is not what it used to be. He is now in front of Wu Changqing, who has always regarded himself as a subordinate.

"Big Brother Wu is serious, your safety is the most important thing. You can take my note to prepare. If you need anything, let Dai Zhijun give priority to it."
