I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Just after the Lantern Festival, Wu Changqing and many officials returned to work.

This year, Dahua has a very heavy task and has set many goals to be accomplished.

The first goal is to occupy the estuary (Singapore), Cape of Good Hope, Colon (Panama) these important ports in the ocean trade, to provide guarantee for the ocean trade of Dahua.

Now Dahua's merchant ships often encounter some problems when they need supplies on the road.

For example, being refused entry to Hong Kong by locals, or being extorted by extortion, selling supplies to Dahua merchants at high prices.

To make ocean trade safer, it is necessary to establish a complete supply chain.

The second task is to further erode Fusang, Annan, Nanyang and other places, and promote the process of Sinicization.

Sinicization is Dahua's overseas immigration policy. It is easy to recover overseas territories by force, but this is not Dahua's ultimate goal. What Dahua wants is to completely bring those places under Dahua's rule.

The third task is to enter India, Australia and the Americas, establish a stronghold, be the pioneer of pioneering, and prepare for the large-scale immigration in the future.

With a stronghold, it is also convenient to plunder local resources.

Just like the colony established by Dahua in Brazil now, with that colony, they can get rubber at a very low price.

After the initial unification of the land, Dahua's development focus has been placed on the ocean.

As for the recovery of the western region, this is not in a hurry.

Wu Changqing's plan is to wait for the car to appear before reclaiming the west, which is the most resource-efficient.

The food and arms were sent to the northwest by horse-drawn carts, and the losses on the road were staggering.

Going to fight now, although I have fought before, but the cost is too high and it is unnecessary.

Anyway, those places are there, and they can't escape.

As for the ocean, with the popularization of steamships, the conditions for comprehensive development are already available.

In the past, steamboats were not popularized, and sailboats were used for trade, and they only traveled once a year. In fact, the benefits were not particularly high, and the risks were still high.

Now Dahua's ocean-going ships, whether warships or merchant ships, are basically equipped with steam engines.

The cabinet, Wu Changqing and those cabinet ministers and military leaders are discussing plans to enter the ocean.

"Because of limited manpower, it is not realistic to fully recover overseas territories, so the goal of the first stage is to recover important strongholds.

For example, Hekou (Singapore), Cape of Good Hope, and Colon (Panama) are all important transit points in ocean trade. These places must be in our hands. "

Wu Changqing said.

The estuary and the Cape of Good Hope are both high-quality natural ports, and they are also the necessary places for shipping routes. The importance is self-evident.

And Cologne, just need to dig through the canal, its value is no lower than the estuary.

By digging through the Cologne Canal, the voyage from Dahua to the eastern part of North America can be shortened by more than 10,000 kilometers.

"Will this lead to a full-scale war between us and Western European countries and affect our trade."

Hong Chengchou asked.

Although Dahua is very powerful now, there is no need to challenge the world at the same time.

If all trade with Western Europe is interrupted, it will also be a major blow to Dahua's economy.

"What are you afraid of, even if a full-scale war breaks out, we can defeat them."

Wu Yi said that as a veteran of the navy, he naturally unswervingly supports overseas expansion, so that the navy team can continue to expand.

"Conflict with them will come sooner or later, unless we are willing to give up overseas interests. As for affecting trade, don't worry too much about it. The big deal is that we have monopolized all overseas trade."

Wu Changqing smiled. Dahua's population base has made Dahua the world's largest production base and consumer market.

It can be said that Dahua can still live very well after losing Western Europe.

And if Western Europe loses the consumer market and wholesale market of Dahua, it will be fatal.

Wu Changqing is very clear about the nature of those countries in Western Europe. As long as they are stronger than them and bully them, they will continue to do business with Dahua.

Wu Changqing has set the tone, and naturally others will not have any more opinions.

A policy that might lead to a full-scale war with countries around the world was decided so casually. This is the advantage of the concentration of imperial power, and it is also the disadvantage of the concentration of imperial power.

For the time being, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, improving administrative efficiency.

"In addition to seizing important ports, the recovery of overseas territories is also on the agenda. In this regard, Western European countries are nearly two hundred years ahead of us.

Now all over the world, except for Australia, most places have already been colonized by Western Europeans. Nor can we be left behind in this regard..."

Wu Changqing decided to open the prelude to the recovery of overseas territories and marched into India, Australia and the Americas.

The fastest way to obtain wealth is plunder, and development is second.

......

At the cabinet meeting, Dahua determined the marine development plan.

Soon, in Nanjing's stock market, the share prices of industries related to ocean-going trade rose.

Those businessmen know that Dahua has focused its development overseas, and will definitely introduce some support policies next, and ocean trade will definitely become more prosperous.

There are people in the DPRK, making money is so easy.

Relying on the news in advance, the money will come as soon as the stock in the hand is fiddled.

Now that the stock market has further loosened the access conditions, this game is not only a game for the rich, but ordinary well-off families can also participate.

Buying a few shares and waiting for a promotion before selling it has become a daily routine for some people.

As more and more people participated, Dahua's stock market also ushered in the first wave of prosperity.

Of course, this prosperity is not all good.

In a restaurant, several businessmen were meeting and chatting.

"What business is Boss Li going to do recently?"

Zhang Wei asked.

"I'm going to open a shipyard. Now I'm going to open a shipyard. That's a guaranteed profit."

Li Xing said.

"Boss Li, that's a bad statement. The most profitable thing right now is the stock market. It's really stupid to build ships honestly."

Zhang Wei laughed.

"how do I say this?"

Li Xing expressed his confusion.

"It takes a year or even a few years to build a shipyard, and to build a big ship, the time is also measured in years, and making money is too slow. The fastest way to make money now is to open a shipyard company, and then find a way to go public and sell it. company stock.

If it goes well, you will be able to cash out and leave in half a year, and the profit will be as high as 100% or even higher. With the capital and manpower, it is not a problem to open several such companies at the same time and earn several million a year. "

Zhang Wei explained.

His words surprised Li Xing. He didn't know much about the stock market. Hearing Zhang Wei say this, he felt like a deceiving institution.

Isn't it illegal to do this? Does the court care?
