Chapter 1061 Dengzhou Maritime Academy
Chunyu Nan is not a good person!
He had no guilt for what the Chunyu family was doing now.
The only thing he was worried about was whether this industry could continue to work and whether it could continue to contribute a lot of profits to the Chunyu family.
As long as this concern can be solved, nothing else will be a problem.
"Is it really that easy to catch the slaves of Tianzhu?"
"According to the information that I currently have, there are tens of millions of people in the entire city. As long as you get one million from there, you will be able to achieve the merits."
Li Kuan didn't expect Chunyu Nan's family to pull out all the fat sheep in India.
If one million young people can basically alleviate the tension in employment in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, how many people will lose their lives during the transportation of one million young people is not what Li Kuan wants to consider.
"One million?"
Chunyu Nan was filled with shock!
Since the Chunyu family entered this industry, they have only brought back more than 100,000 people.
This is the result of years of hard work.
Now Li Kuan has one million words!
What a big business it is?
According to the market conditions of Dengzhou people, a young and strong slave can be sold for at least ten cents of money or even twenty cents of money.
One million means a price of more than one million yuan.
But the cost you have to pay is only a fraction.
That business is definitely worth doing.
"That's right! One million! If you feel it's a bit difficult to get a million people in India, then you can continue to go west and capture slaves in Dashi or Africa. It doesn't matter if you buy slaves directly from Dashi merchants.
In recent years, the Dashi Empire has been expanding outward and should have conquered many countries. If you are willing to acquire slaves from them, the Dashi merchants will definitely find ways to provide you with a steady stream of slaves."
Although Li Kuan was planning to deal with the Dashi Empire in the future, this did not affect the Tang Dynasty's business with Dashi.
"If there are really tens of millions of people in Tianzhu, then it will be a big problem to catch a million people back. It's just that you have to go deep into the inland areas at that time to catch more people.
However, in recent years, I have also summarized a set of experience. As long as we give up part of the profit and let the Indians catch people themselves, we can directly trade on various docks or ships, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of capturing slaves.
As long as the benefits are abundant enough, there will definitely be many Indians who will take risks to cooperate with us. What I worry about is that the number of ships transporting slaves is not enough."
Eating alone is not going to make your business bigger.
This is also a truth that Chunyu Dan has realized over the years.
When catching slaves in Japan, at the beginning, the Chunyu family's own staff went to the island to catch people. Not only was the efficiency relatively low, but there were also injuries from time to time.
It’s different after working with some daimyos. As long as your own ship arrives at the dock at the agreed time, you can start pretending directly.
Although this requires some purchase fees, compared to the benefits of this business, this cost is completely acceptable.
After all, a business without foundation is not really without foundation.
"It's good that you have confidence! However, you don't leave any business in Japan and the Korean Peninsula. At that time, you can transport the Indians to Dengzhou, Luoyang, and Chang'an for transactions, mainly for plantation owners in Zhenbei, Hedong and Liaodong.
And the Japanese and Baekje people can be transported to Guangzhou, where there are still a large number of people to plant sugarcane."
Li Kuan didn't want Zhenbei and Liaodong Road to introduce people from the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
In the long run, that will leave hidden dangers.
If future generations are not capable, don’t lose Zhenbei Road and Liaodong Road. Then, create a new vast country for the Japanese or people on the Korean Peninsula out of thin air.
It is different to introduce the Indians to Liaodong Road and Zhenbei Road.
These people are far away from their homeland and have no possibility of turning around.
Besides, with their different appearance from the people of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult for them to truly integrate into the people of the Tang Dynasty and be responsible for farming in peace and responsibility for life.
"No problem, Xiaguan will buy ten new sea boats for the Donghai Fisheries Dengzhou Shipbuilding Workshop tomorrow. At that time, at least one or two sea boats will transport slaves back to the Tang Dynasty every month."
Chunyu Nan obviously made up his mind to become the largest slave owner in the Tang Dynasty.
As long as you can make money, reputation, etc., Chunyu Nan thinks that it can be saved in the future.
At worst, if he earns ten million guan, he can take out two million guan to do good deeds.
There is always a way to build a primary school for all prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty, build roads and bridges in Dengzhou, and there is always a way to make the reputation better.
"In the future, your ships will go to Tianzhu. When you go, you can consider transporting some cotton, sugar, porcelain and other materials to Puluo or Qiwanggang to sell them, so as not to waste transportation capacity. When you come back, you will specially transport slaves and form a mature process as soon as possible to provide a steady stream of labor for plantations in various parts of the Tang Dynasty."
"No problem. As long as the ship is in place, you can set off immediately! However, the officials are worried that too many ships will go to sea and the number of seafarers will not be enough."
Chunyu Nan is very clear about how popular experienced crew members are in Dengzhou.
In the past, the strong men who could not survive in the villages became personnel with income levels comparable to those of Level 4 workers or even Level 5 workers once they went to sea for a few years.
However, despite such generous treatment, many people have attracted to go overseas, compared with the demands in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, it is still very nervous.
After all, it takes time to train experienced crew members.
However, the new ships in various shipbuilding workshops in the Tang Dynasty continued to flow into the water like dumplings.
"Before, Donghai Fisheries found a yard in Dengzhou to conduct seafarer training. You can allocate a piece of land to build Dengzhou Maritime College to train people who need to go to sea. At that time, you can also cooperate with various merchants to accept commissioned training tasks, and build Dengzhou Maritime College into the top maritime college in the Tang Dynasty."
If the Tang Dynasty wants to march into the sea, a formal maritime academy is indispensable.
Otherwise, if we lack systematic seafarer training and personnel output, relying solely on each fleet to train seafarers themselves will definitely not be able to keep up with the needs of the Tang Dynasty.
"Dengzhou Maritime College?"
Chunyu Nan's eyes lit up and he immediately thought of the benefits of the construction of this college.
When building academies in various places, you can apply for funds from the Ministry of Education.
The students trained by the Maritime Academy actually serve various caravans.
Of course, it can definitely serve the Maritime Marine.
However, in the end, merchants can enjoy the benefits, and Chunyu Family Guangming can really enjoy the benefits.
