"Haimao? Why did you suddenly want to start such a business?" Princess Chengyang also showed a surprised expression when she heard Zhang Zong's purpose.

"Uh? Didn't you hear Sanlang tell me what happened yesterday?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this. With Xue Shao's personality, he would definitely tell Princess Chengyang about meeting Qian Dahai yesterday as an interesting story.

"Yesterday? Are you talking about the person who came back to the Tang Dynasty from the Americas crisis?" Princess Chengyang knew about this.

"Yes, this is this person. Today he went to my place again. I decided to invest money for him to build a fleet. Before I met him, I went to the prince's place..."

Zhang Zong explained everything in detail, especially the impact of high-yield crops in the Americas, which made Princess Chengyang more and more shocked. In her opinion, Linyi rice last time was already a very good crop, but she didn't expect that there were even higher yields in this world, and even the yield per mu reached several thousand kilograms, which was beyond her imagination.

"Princess, compared to others, Qian Dahai is the most likely person to return to America. This is an excellent opportunity. Even if he can't find America, he can lead a fleet to do maritime trade. Although it is risky, it is also a profitable deal!" Zhang Zong concluded at the end.

Princess Chengyang also showed a thoughtful expression at this time. Zhang Zong thought she was hesitating, which made him ask anxiously: "Princess, do you think this business is not suitable?"

Unexpectedly, Princess Chengyang shook her head and said, "No, you remind me of your words. I remember that there seems to be a shipbuilding workshop in my name?"

"It seems?" Zhang Zong was speechless when he heard this. Although he often called "the eldest princess, the eldest princess", he sometimes really forgot the other party's identity as a princess. However, occasionally some things would remind him that the real princess in front of him had a deep foundation far beyond his imagination.

There are too many industries under the name of Princess Chengyang, and it is normal for her to remember it, so she immediately summoned the chief supervisor of the mansion. After a while, an old man with gray hair ran in. The old man's surname was Xue, and the boss of the Xue family. It is said that three generations of descendants were slaves in the Xue family. After Princess Chengyang got married, the property under his name was also handed over to him.

"Mr. Xue, do I have a shipbuilding workshop in Guangzhou?" Princess Chengyang immediately asked General Xue.

"There is indeed a shipbuilding workshop, but not in Guangzhou, but in Quanzhou. The business is pretty good. Last year, I built a lot of new ships. The manager of the shipbuilding workshop also went to Beijing to personally send the profits of last year." Manager Xue is worthy of being the butler, and remembers everything at home clearly.

"It's really there?" Zhang Zong was even more surprised when he heard this.

"Manager Xue, if I want to form a fleet to do maritime trade, can the workshop be built just by the way?" Princess Chengyang asked again. Shipbuilding is not something that can be accomplished in one or two days, especially the complex structure of the sea ship, and the drying of wood, it is not uncommon for a boat to be built in the first half of the year, and she doesn't want to wait for half a year.

"If you need a boat, you can ask the workshop to cut off the built but not delivered boat. Let's use it first, at most you can pay the owner some money." General Manager Xue replied immediately, but hesitated for a moment, and then he said again, "Miss Mom, the manager of Quanzhou last time mentioned to you about forming a fleet, but you didn't agree. Why are you going to build a fleet suddenly now?"

"One time and another time, now the court needs to go out to sea to find a few things. Zong'er and Sanlang also found a key person to go out to sea. If you want to form a fleet soon, when will you organize the fleet?" Princess Chengyang asked again at the end.

"This..." Manager Xue thought for a moment, and then said helplessly, "My mistress doesn't know that the ship is not a big problem. After all, the ships on the shipbuilding workshop are all ready-made, but the problem is that it is difficult to find crew members. If you want to go out to sea and sail, crew members are more important. We have not prepared any before, so it is probably not easy to find crew members."

"Mr. Xue doesn't have to worry about the crew, the person who works with us can solve this problem!" Zhang Zong interrupted at this time.

Qian Dahai was originally a person who made a living on the sea, and he did not return from America alone, but led his crew back on a ship. However, after the ship was scrapped, the ships could only be disbanded. But as long as he went back, it was easy to recruit people again. With these people as backbone and recruiting some other personnel, it was enough to support a fleet.

"If this is the case, then there will be no problem. I will immediately write a letter to the managers in Quanzhou and ask them to prepare the ship in advance, and just accept it directly when the person arrives." Manager Xue relaxed his expression when he heard Zhang Zong's words. The most difficult crew problem was solved, and the rest was naturally not a problem.

"It's great. Since you are here, please sit down and discuss the matter of this fleet together. You still need to check some details!" Princess Chengyang also smiled at this time. She only cared about the general direction of the family's industry, and the specific affairs still need to be handled by General Manager Xue.

When Zhang Zong and the other two discussed a specific plan for the fleet, it was already dark outside. Princess Chengyang wanted him to stay at home for one night, but Zhang Zong was worried that Wan'er was afraid of being alone at home, and he didn't tell Wan'er in advance that she would not go back, so she decided to go home. Anyway, Princess Chengyang's carriage didn't have to worry about being stopped.

Sure enough, just when Zhang Zong returned home, he found that the lights at home were still on. When he pushed the door and entered the room, he found that Wan'er was already asleep on the table, and there were several dishes in front of her, which seemed to be waiting for him to come back for dinner.

Seeing this, Zhang Zong felt warm in his heart, and immediately reached out to pick Wan'er up. As a result, the little girl saw him in a daze, rubbed her eyes and tried to struggle to stand up and said, "Young master, you are back, I'll go and warm you up!"

"No, I've eaten at the eldest princess, you should go back to bed soon, and these foods will be cleaned tomorrow." Zhang Zong had no choice but to put Wan'er down and said.

"Oh, then I'll make the bed for the young master!" Wan'er agreed, but did not go to rest, but went to Zhang Zong's bedroom to start packing, which made Zhang Zong a little helpless, so she had to wash up and prepare for rest.
