Chapter 863 Shen An Convinces People With Virtue(1/2)
The water waves in Jinming Pond were rippling slightly, and more than ten warships were practicing on the water surface, with constant flags and silences of shouting and killing.
These are all new recruits, but their morale is very high.
"The navy defeated the Liao army and the two defeated Jiaozhi, which attracted many people to sign up. We set rules to give priority to understanding the nature of water."
Qin Zhen felt that the future of the navy was not small but big.
A gust of wind blew from the water, and Chen An suddenly lifted the fishing rod, and the fishing rod immediately bent.
"I've won! Hahahaha!"
Accompanied by laughter, Chang Jianren rode over.
"I'll count on it for lunch, fish head soup, braised fish... The wife at home happened to have a meal."
A three or four pound fish was dragged up, Chen An put his cheeks on a rope, and then squatted down to wash his hands.
Chang Jianren dismounted a little unfamiliarly and said, "When Hou Guixin, a wealthy businessman came to ask questions, saying that he wanted to build a shipyard... He wanted to hire old craftsmen who knew about shipbuilding from us."
Chen An stood up and shook his hand, turned around and looked at Chang Jianren, and asked, "What do you think?"
Qin Zhen was steady, but the future of the Song Dynasty's naval army needed to be crazy.
The sea is violent and fearful. Only crazy people can compete with it and discover the new world waiting quietly.
"I think those people... can give them a chance. Anyway, their money is piled up at home, and it will only be corroded if they don't need it."
"clever!"
What Chen An was most worried about was that Chang Jianren became cynical, so he was very pleased.
"Since they want it, they will give it to it. In a word, the voyage of the Song Dynasty has not yet begun, and shipbuilding is the beginning. No matter who it is, even if it is Zhao Yunbi, if he is willing to build a ship, he will also be willing to give it to him craftsmen."
This is working together for one goal.
"That...Returning Marquis." Chang Jianren hesitated for a moment, and Chen An smiled and said, "But is something wrong? Just say it."
"I was wondering, we are the only ones who can build sea boats. Can those rich businessmen get their money?... more heavy?"
This is open blackmail!
There is a future, guy!
Chen An nodded, and he was in a happy mood until he returned home.
"Eat fish for lunch!"
He took the fish to the backyard, showed off his morning results, and introduced it to Xiaota who didn't know anything.
He was very excited, but the businessmen were very anxious.
A group of wealthy businessmen gathered in Fanlou, with no beauties or food around them, and only anxiety.
A businessman frowned and said, "When we join forces, our financial resources are only much greater than that of Chen An. He will most likely be afraid of us, so this matter is not optimistic."
Everyone was silent for a while, and in a depressed breath, someone said, "Yes! If we make a lot of money on the sea, will Chen An be happy? Then he might as well build a merchant ship by himself and trade on the sea by himself. That is the way to make money. If it were you and me, who would be willing to share wealth with others? No!"
"Then...what should we do?"
"There is no choice but to wait."
The door was not closed. When a businessman hurried in, everyone stood up suddenly and someone shouted, "Then Chen Anke agreed?"
The visitor said happily: "I agreed, he agreed."
Joy filled the air, and someone said happily: "Chen An actually agreed. Could he be dizzy?"
"It's the Marquis of Congxin." An old businessman frowned and said, "Be careful of the influence."
The businessman smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes. The Marquis of Congxin is indeed a little righteous. I still have some complaints here, but who knows he doesn't care about these things... It's really a conquering person with virtue! Whoever says bad things about Congxinxin will be irrelevant with him in the future."
"Yes! The mind of Gui Xinhou is so admirable, and it makes people... I am extremely moved and choked speechlessly."
“…”
Everyone was 'touched' for a long time, and someone asked, "How much does the craftsmen over there cost?"
The visitor said, "The price is still being said, but it will arrive soon."
"Here's here."
While he was talking, another businessman came outside and shouted as soon as he came in: "It's amazing, then Chen An wants a sky-high price... 20,000 yuan."
Damn it!
A group of businessmen were stunned.
"So expensive? This price...it can build a small fleet of boats at this price."
"Chen An is too cruel."
"Did he think we can't build a ship if we leave him?"
"Yes! It's really impossible to build a ship. That Pu Jiu is in his hands. Apart from that, where can we find someone who can build a sea boat?"
"Where are those big cannibals?"
Someone thought this was a chance, so he raised his eyebrows and said, "We have invested a lot of money to buy a big cannibal to build a ship, and we can even go out to sea to do business together."
After saying that, he found that everyone was in silence and said in surprise: "Can't it work?"
The elderly businessman sighed, "You have just arrived in Bianliang not long ago, and I don't know the nature of Shen An..."
"Aren't you convinced people with virtue?" The businessman was a little puzzled.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"He is convinced by virtue?"
"I'm laughing to death, Chen An won the favor with his virtue..."
"Do you know how many legs he broke? He also won over others with virtue. People say that a gentleman does not speak, but his favorite thing is to act without speaking."
The businessman said embarrassedly: "It's like this!"
The older businessman said: "Earlier, Chen Anfang said he wanted someone to build a big ship to the sea, and no one of the big cannibals came..."
"Where is Pu Jiu? Didn't he voluntarily?"
"Haha, do you believe it? Chen An's methods are ruthless. Pu Jiu was blocked at home and died if he doesn't cooperate."
"What a cruel Chen An."
The older businessman sighed: "So even if we spend a million yuan a year, no big cannibal dares to apply for the job."
"Yes! Chen An is a man with little heart. You didn't come when you invited someone. Now you are here with the merchant. Are you looking down on someone? Those big cannibals are dead, do you understand?"
"Twenty thousand coins, he must have a name, right? Or it would be blackmail."
The visitor smiled bitterly and said, "Chen An borrowed a lot of money to another group of merchants, and he also built a ship to go to sea... He asked him why it was so expensive, but he actually said that the Shen family was poor, so he wanted more."
"Shameless!"
"shameless!"
"It's up to us if his family has no money?"
"This is fake for personal gain! Go back and complain..."
The merchants stopped complaining, staring at the person who said they were going to sue, with expectations in their eyes.
Go, we will shine the flag for you. Looking back, you were killed by Chen An...
"Don't worry, we will raise your wife and children."
After you die, I will raise your wife, so don’t worry about it!
The man said embarrassedly: "I'm just talking."
whispering sound!
Everyone was depressed and ordered wine and food to stop after getting drunk. Of course, 20,000 guan was a must.
Right next door, two men sat quietly against the wall and left at this moment.
"This matter is important, report it to the public immediately."
"yes."
The news was sent to Zhang Banian later.
"Shipbuilding...and borrowed a lot of money?"
"Yes, everyone knows that Chen An still demanded 20,000 bribes."
Zhang Banian frowned and said, "Stupid! No one can ask for bribes from Chen An. He can get tens of thousands of coins by just finding a foreign merchant. Twenty thousand coins... It's a big deal to him!"
The visitor bowed his head, and Zhang Banian stood up and said, "But the shipbuilding matter has to be reported to the officials."
Zhao Zhen is discussing political affairs with the prime ministers.
"...The late emperor built a tomb, and the warehouse had 300,000 guan... Or..."
Han Qi's eyes flashed a little, "Your Majesty, when I saw Bao Zheng yesterday, I had a better white hair. I walked three steps and one breath, and one stop for five steps..."
