But since Li Ke has developed overseas trade, he definitely didn't prepare for them alone, but he wanted everyone to participate.

Therefore, since they cannot prevent others from sharing the cake, they should try to earn as much money as possible before everyone gets involved.

This is one of the reasons why they don't go inland to sell the treasures themselves.

It took too long to go back and forth. With this time, they all prepared their goods and went to sea again.

Anyway, if you hand it over to your subordinates to sell it, it's still a sale, and the money for the sale belongs to them, so you don't have to go there yourself.

Moreover, they began to order ships aggressively, and actively stocked up. According to the best-selling products that were counted out this time, a large number of configurations were made.

Even if a ship is full, it can hold so much goods, which is definitely not enough to sell in overseas countries.

With two ships, they're guaranteed to make twice as much money!

It's a pity that all the ships in the shipyard have been bought out, and the orders they placed before going to sea will take three months to be delivered.

Probably when I come back from the next trip, a new ship will be delivered, and then I can take several ships of goods to sea at the same time, and I can earn several times the money at once!

And, in order to allow other merchants to participate in the cake later, they placed an order with the shipyard again!

In this way, the built ships are always theirs, and even if those merchants want to participate in overseas trade, they have no ships to buy.

Overseas trade is not something that can be done in the territory of Datang with just a few mule carts.

At sea, there is no big ship.

Small boats are also available, but small boats carry less cargo and have weak wind and wave resistance.

Maybe in a slightly bigger storm, the ship was destroyed and people died.

Therefore, as long as more orders from the shipyard are placed, the time for other people to enter the market can be delayed as much as possible.

In this way, it will naturally allow yourself to earn more money first.

Not only made money, but also postponed the time for others to enter the market, these businessmen were naturally very happy.

These businessmen spend money everywhere in Yangzhou city every day, and they can be found in every high-end restaurant every day.

And the sales are extremely generous, and all kinds of luxury goods are bought non-stop.

After all, they have been floating on the sea for several months, and how can the overseas countries have a better environment than Datang?

After holding back for three months, and making money again this time, why not relax in Yangzhou city?

Under the crazy consumption of hundreds of businessmen who have made a lot of money, the economy of Yangzhou City has been boosted a lot at once.

And apart from them, the captains and crew who went out to sea with them were also very happy.

Especially those captains, who were originally ordinary navy veterans, farming and fishing at home, and their income was just that.

However, after being hired as the captain to go to sea this time, the salary for the first trip was as high as 2!

And after returning to the port of Shanghai City, the owner directly gave him a consistent bonus!

It is equivalent to going out for three months and earning 3 times to come back.

There is no money to be spent on the boat, so these 3 rounds are purely earned, with basically no expenses.

After earning 3 rounds, and having been floating on the sea for several months, it is natural to have a good time with his wife and children when he returns to Yangzhou.

Delicious, fun, and beautiful, all arranged.

Although the salaries and bonuses of those crew members were lower than those of the captain, compared to their original income from farming or working, it was much, much higher.

Therefore, these people are also consuming to their heart's content in Yangzhou City.

I usually want to eat something I can't afford, but this time I endured it for three months, so I naturally have to eat a few meals.

These people are happy, but those businessmen who want to participate in overseas trade, as well as people who want to apply for captains and crew members, are very disappointed.

Especially after hearing that those ordinary crew members had high salaries, those people were even more envious.

In this way, after this emotion fermented for a few days, Li Ke felt that it was almost done.

Soon, two important news were published in the Datang Daily!

"His Royal Highness King Qin will open the Datang HNA Academy in Shanghai. From now on, male students over the age of 18 and under the age of 30 will be recruited!"

"Anyone who wants to learn navigation knowledge and embark on the road of navigation, as long as they meet the requirements, they can go to Datang Navigation Academy to sign up. The tuition and accommodation fees are free!"

"The shipyards in Dengzhou and Quanzhou have launched a large number of large ships, which can be delivered at any time. Anyone who is interested in buying can go to Shanghai City tomorrow. At that time, the owners of the two shipyards will gather in Shanghai City!"

"Tomorrow, a face-to-face exhibition will be held in Shanghai City. There will be 15 large ships. The number is limited. First come, first served!"

"Note: Those who have undelivered orders in the shipyard are prohibited from participating in the exhibition!"

After seeing these two pieces of news, the whole Yangzhou and Suzhou are boiling!

Especially those merchants who wanted to participate in overseas trade but couldn't buy ships, and those who wanted to be captains and crews but couldn't.

After seeing or hearing these two pieces of news in the newspaper, they were all very excited and overjoyed!

"His Royal Highness King Qin is really my reborn parents!"

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness Qin Wang to open the Datang Navigation Academy, which is dedicated to training navigation talents!"

"Men between the ages of 18 and 30 can sign up. I'm going to the Nautical Academy to sign up!"

"Tuition and accommodation fees are free. As long as you graduate from the Nautical Academy, you can become a captain or a crew member!"

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and sign up!"

Those who want to embark on the road of sailing are discussing this news with great excitement.

The Datang Navigation Academy founded by Li Ke is equivalent to directly giving them a platform and opportunity to learn!

It is not an exaggeration to say that one sentence has completely changed their fate.

While their hearts were filled with endless gratitude to Li Ke, they rushed to Shanghai City immediately and arrived at the gate of Datang Navigation Academy.

After that, there was a series of inspections, and then the admission college began to train.

As for the excitement and surprise of those businessmen after reading the newspapers, they are no less than those who want to be captains and crew members.

Originally, they were all desperate, thinking that the big cake of overseas trade was completely out of their reach.

Because the orders of the shipyards in Yangzhou and Suzhou have been scheduled for a year and a half later, they can't buy ships if they want to buy them.

And they also knew that those orders were deliberately placed by the merchants going to sea, just to delay their entry.

But now, His Royal Highness Qin Wang actually told them that the shipyards in Dengzhou and Quanzhou have a full 15 large ships that have been launched for sale!

For them, it was undoubtedly like a pie falling from the sky, it was a joyous event!

Originally, even a large ship could not be purchased, and it took a year and a half to wait in line before placing an order and starting construction.

But now there are as many as 15 large ships that have been built directly in front of them. Isn't this a big surprise?

Next, as long as they buy a big ship, and then recruit a captain and crew who know how to sail, they can buy goods and go to sea!

Moreover, Li Ke also specifically marked that those who have undelivered orders at the shipyard cannot participate.

This means that those merchants who have placed a lot of orders at the shipyard are not eligible to participate in this exhibition.

The 15 big ships this time have nothing to do with them!

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really hardworking!"

"Just for this, if I pay less than a penny in customs duties in the future, I will be struck by lightning!"

"Yes, you must strictly follow the rules of Shanghai City!"

"Hurry up and recruit the captain and crew. If you are late, you will not be able to recruit."

"I have to start raising money too, and go to Shanghai City to buy a boat tomorrow!"

"It's enough to raise the down payment, and the rest can be borrowed from the bank, anyway, you can earn it back in one trip."

Many businessmen became busy and began to prepare various affairs.

And those merchants who came back from the sea, after reading the newspaper, their eyes lit up first, and then they looked disappointed.

When they saw that Dengzhou and Quanzhou had 15 large ships built, they were overjoyed!

Although they placed a lot of orders at the shipyard, they were only orders, not large ships that could be delivered to them immediately.

Now that there are big boats that have already been launched, they must be very tempted and want to buy a few more.

Anyway, they made a lot of money this trip, and it was more than enough to buy a few ships.

But just when they were eager to try and buy a boat in Shanghai City tomorrow, they saw a restriction marked on the back.

Whoever has an undelivered order at the shipyard cannot buy a ship tomorrow!

After seeing this restriction, they were immediately dumbfounded!

Because, this restriction is obviously intentional by Li Ke, and it is aimed at them!

Thinking of this, they couldn't help being slightly startled, for fear that their behavior of placing orders everywhere before would anger Li Ke.

They didn't expect to come here before, but now that they think about it, their behavior is undoubtedly playing with fire!

However, Li Ke only issued this restriction to target them, and did not do anything to them. It seems that Li Ke didn't take their actions too seriously.

But even so, they also realized that their previous behavior was a bit playing with fire, and they all told themselves that 380 must abide by the rules in the future.

Otherwise, it's very cool to make money now, and if Li Ke is angered by then, it will be a waste of money to make money.

After seeing this restriction in the newspaper, they can only be a bystander honestly.

I watched those businessmen go to Shanghai City to buy ships tomorrow.

It was the merchants who envied them before, but this time, it was their turn to envy the ship buyers.

"No, we must speed up the stocking, we must leave early!"

"That's right. After they buy the boat, they still need to recruit, run in, and train for a period of time. It's impossible to set off so quickly. We have to set off first!"

"This is the last time to take the lead. We must seize the opportunity and not waste it!"

These businessmen quickly made a decision in their minds. They originally planned to enjoy a period of rest in Yangzhou City, but now they obviously don't have the intention.

They all wanted to go to sea as soon as possible, and then beat the merchants one last time.

Li Keren was in the Governor's Mansion, and he knew everything about what happened in Yangzhou City, as well as the reactions of various groups of people after reading the contents of the newspaper.

The Nautical Academy was prepared by him before, and he just waited to take this opportunity to launch it.

As for the 15 large ships in Dengzhou and Quanzhou, they are also a batch of large ships built by local shipyards after the technology was decentralized, with about 750 ships in each of the two places.

After the construction, the Dengzhou Navy and the Quanzhou Navy will follow a route based on large ships and supplemented by large ships.

Therefore, the number of large ships purchased is very small, and it is naturally within Li Ke's expectation that so many ships cannot be sold.

So Li Ke wrote a letter to Li Yin and Li You, asking them to notify the bosses of the shipyards to come to Shanghai and promise to sell all 15 large ships.

Li Yin and Li You naturally trusted Li Ke's words unconditionally.

Moreover, they are also looking forward to, once these large ships are sold, the shipyards in the two places will receive a large authorization fee!

This is also of great help to shipyards in building giant ships.

Therefore, the bosses of the two shipyards also rushed to Shanghai City by boat.

Next, as long as the fair is successfully completed, there will be a ship, and the captain and crew will be trained rapidly.

There are ships and people, which means that the great voyage trade plan has basically been on the right track!

And at this time, a major event also happened in Chang'an City!

A major event that is enough to be recorded in the annals of history and written in the history books!

The thing Li Ke had been looking forward to for a long time finally happened!

PS: The first update! .

Chapter 350 Li Chengqian's eldest grandson Wuji rebelled!Li Shimin was furious!

On this day, Li Chengqian and Changsun Wuji received an urgent secret report from Yangzhou!

They sent special personnel to inquire about information in Yangzhou. Once Li Ke did something in Yangzhou, or did something, they would send the news to Chang'an City as quickly as possible.

When they learned that there was an urgent secret report from Yangzhou, they immediately looked at it.

"That newly built city charged 95 tariffs for just one merchant ship?"
