Chapter 277 Great Qin Navy
Ying Yu didn't mind the little thoughts of these officials.
As long as he abides by the laws of the Qin Dynasty, he will not object to the business of important officials in the court.
Moreover, as time goes by, the order of favor will reduce their titles from generation to generation, so it should give the important ministers something to look forward to.
"My father and I proposed to establish the Daqin Sugar Refining Department to uniformly manage the planting and refining of sugar cane, as well as unified sales and separate taxation."
The sugar production department proposed by Ying Yu was actually based on tobacco companies of later generations.
You must know that the National Tobacco Corporation is a super enterprise with an annual tax revenue exceeding one trillion yuan, which is more than the four major banks combined.
If the Daqin Sugar Refining Department operates well, its potential is no less than that of tobacco.
After all, tobacco is not something everyone needs and is harmful to health.
The situation is different for sugar. As long as it is managed well, the sugar industry alone can bring extremely generous profits to Daqin.
The establishment of the Sugar Refining Department, which is directly under the management of the imperial court, is for more effective management and to prevent vicious internal competition from affecting final profits.
Monopoly has always been an effective means to ensure maximization of profits.
"Sugar Production Department, this is a good suggestion!"
Ying Zheng nodded in agreement, and naturally the courtiers had no objections.
The big cake of sugar should indeed be under the direct management of the imperial court.
And according to custom, His Highness the Prince will leave some shares to them.
Even if they don't have shares, they officials will have priority in purchasing. This is a pie-in-the-sky good thing for them, and who would refuse it.
The hall was suddenly filled with joy.
...
"By the way, how are you preparing for the military parade?"
After the court meeting, Ying Zheng left Ying Yu alone and asked with a look of anticipation on his face.
"The list of participants in the military parade has been finalized, and the soldiers are returning one after another. It is expected that they will all arrive in Xianyang City by the end of the month.
However, in my opinion, it is best to gather the soldiers participating in the military parade and conduct unified training before conducting the military parade."
This military parade is to show the world the military power of our country, Da Qin, and it must be the best it can be.
"Training? Our officers and soldiers of Great Qin are all veterans of many battles. Do we still need training to participate in a military parade?"
Ying Zheng looked at Ying Yu in confusion.
In Brother Zheng's eyes, Da Qin's soldiers are the bravest in the world. They only need to be pulled out and sneaked around to scare other countries. There is no need to train them.
"Father, I have an idea, but it is still being perfected, so please don't worry about it.
When the official military parade comes, I will definitely satisfy you!"
Ying Yu looked at Ying Zheng helplessly.
It is definitely not an easy task to present in Da Qin the most impactful scene in the memory of the military parade of later generations.
"Then I'm just waiting for your surprise."
Ying Zheng shook his head in a funny way.
This kid actually got into trouble with himself.
"By the way, father, now our Great Qin Navy has reached as far as Tianzhu County and Persia County, and the number of battleships is in the thousands. It is a bit inappropriate to call it a navy."
"My son thought that the Great Qin Navy could be officially renamed the Great Qin Navy!"
"Navy? The army galloping on the sea should indeed be called the navy!"
Ying Zheng chanted it again and nodded with satisfaction.
The name "Navy" does not sound as appropriate as the image of someone from the Navy.
For a fleet that now travels all over the world and opens up blue territories for the Qin Dynasty, it is indeed a bit petty.
Wherever the fleet goes, it is the maritime territory of Great Qin!
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this navy motto.
It seems that the whole world belongs to Qin. I should add another sentence after that:
In the whole world, could it be Qin Hai!
...
The news that the Great Qin Navy was officially renamed as the Great Qin Navy soon spread throughout the entire Great Qin, making countless people excited.
"The name of the Great Qin Navy sounds much more domineering than the Navy."
"I heard that this military parade will be divided into a land parade and a sea parade, which is really exciting."
"According to what the newspaper said, after the military parade, the navy will be reorganized and expanded again!"
"It is said that there is also a warship that is several times larger than the five-tooth giant ship and will appear in the military parade."
"It's several times bigger than the five-toothed giant ship. Isn't this a sea city?"
"When the navy recruits people, I will definitely sign up. Then I will control this super maritime city and travel across the four seas to open up and expand the territory of our Great Qin!"
"Haha, heroes really think alike. After watching the military parade, we will sign up to join the navy together!"
The common people of Da Qin were inexplicably shocked and started discussing with great excitement.
Da Qin's already extremely high interest in large-scale navigation became even more popular as the Da Qin Navy was reorganized into a navy.
Many people who were originally inland and had never seen a big river have developed a strong interest in the sea.
The registration office of the Great Qin Navy was even more overcrowded, with countless people coming to ask when recruitment would begin every day.
...
"Your Highness, according to statistics, since the news that the Navy was reorganized into the Navy came out, in just five days, more than 100,000 people have signed up and want to join the Navy.
If this continues, within a year, our Great Qin Navy will be able to increase the strength of two more fleets!"
Wang Jian reported the report with an excited face.
Although the navy is much more difficult to train than the army, the fleet officers have figured out a very practical training method.
That is to break up the recruits and assign them to corresponding positions on different warships based on their personal strengths, and follow the veterans for one-on-one learning.
With step-by-step instruction, it only takes a few months for new recruits to initially develop combat effectiveness.
Anyway, the warships of the Great Qin Navy are built to the highest standards.
There is enough space on the battleship, so even if there are twice as many people, it will not feel crowded.
Every time a new fleet is formed, the proportion of new recruits on the battleships will also be strictly controlled.
In key positions, veterans drawn from other fleets are used.
This will not only ensure the combat effectiveness of the newly established fleets, but also provide veterans in each fleet with more opportunities for promotion.
It is also a great improvement for the morale of the entire naval fleet.
In addition to accelerating personnel training, Daqin's shipbuilding capabilities are also constantly improving.
Nowadays, there are more than ten naval shipyards alone. If production is at full capacity, a five-tooth warship can be launched every two days on average!
However, after the military parade is over, the Wuya battleship, which is the main force of Da Qin, will be downgraded to a second-class battleship.
After all, compared with the treasure ship, the Five-Tooth Battleship is like a child who has not yet grown up.
