Chapter 558: Only by retaliating can you protect
From Felipe II’s point of view, Ming Dynasty was really too bullying.
First, at the end of the first year of Wanli and the beginning of the second year, they launched a surprise attack on Miyan Port in Luzon, and then quickly captured Manila, the capital of the Viceroyalty of the Philippines. On the Luzon Sea, the Ming Army and the Red Mao Fan fought for nine years. Time has completely reduced the Viceroyalty of the Philippines to the point where it exists in name only. Now the Governor of the Far East sent by Felipe is more like the commissioner in charge of maritime trade in Davao City, Mindanao.
Felipe II wanted to acquire Portugal through legitimate means. This had been planned for a long time. He even used various means to force the Duchess, the first heir, to withdraw from the competition. Ming Dynasty supported Antonio made Felipe II's years of planning come to nothing.
But this time, the global trade of the Ming Dynasty, the distribution center of the Ming Dynasty goods, was not in Seville, Spain, but in Lisbon. This was equivalent to another severe cut on Felipe II. A piece of meat.
Felipe had normal business dealings with the Ming Dynasty and even sent him gifts. However, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was still so cruel!
If there is no reaction, then Felipe is not worthy of being called the overlord of the West.
Zhu Yijun held a grand meeting in Huangji Hall to welcome the warriors who had returned from the ocean. They had defeated huge waves, ferocious pirates, and silent diseases, and brought with them large amounts of silver and countless raw materials. Back in the Ming Dynasty, they were warriors who conquered the ocean and deserved such courtesy from the Ming Emperor.
“Time flies, the Ming Dynasty completed its first global voyage in the tenth year of Wanli, and completed its first global trade in the eleventh year of Wanli. It has been a year since the last Ming official ship sailed south to the Western Ocean. In the 148th year, the seaside of Nanyang had long forgotten the Big Dipper flag of the Ming Dynasty ship, and there was only the legend of the Ming treasure ship in the West. "
"After all, the Ming treasure ship is also a legend in the Ming Dynasty." br>
"Today, all the warriors have returned from the ocean. Here, I can confidently say to my ancestors that I am worthy of the trust entrusted to me by my ancestors, worthy of the great Ming Dynasty, and worthy of the people of all directions."
< br>"The Ming Dynasty needs silver, and similarly, the Ming Dynasty also needs raw materials. Without silver, there will be no ditches in the department stores of the Ming Dynasty. Without raw materials, there will never be sufficient supply of raw materials in the workshops of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty will be at odds with each other and slide towards the abyss. "
"Today, everything has changed."
"You are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty."
Why do you want to explore the ocean?" The development of navigation technology is a waste of time and money, a waste of national funds and a waste of energy, just to see how those uncivilized Panyi jump up and down in the eight wastelands?
This is a view that the humble Confucians have always held since the opening of the sea in Wanli. Anyway, the Ming Dynasty has the advantage of goods. Sitting at home, you can wait for customers to come to buy goods. The Ming Dynasty does not have to go out, they will come to the door themselves anyway. .
This is the answer. To ensure a stable inflow of silver and an adequate supply of raw materials for the Ming Dynasty, Songjiang Prefecture's cotton spinning workshop needs a large amount of raw materials to expand its scale.
"Declare the decree." Zhu Yijun looked at the people on the platform and said to Feng Bao with a smile on his face.
The two small yellow doors opened the long imperial edict. Feng Bao took a step forward, flicked the fly whisk, and shouted in a raised voice: "The emperor is destined to be transported by heaven, the edict says:"
"The whale wave is so vast that I don't know how far it is tens of thousands of miles away; I have traveled through many places, but I have never heard of its respect for civilization and virtue. Today, I want to spread civilization and virtue in all directions, build my reputation and extend it to the barbarians, so I have sent Liu Ji, the special envoy to the ocean. Chen Tianrui and others led their heroes across the blue waves and oceans, and met with various foreign goods. Their majestic figures, majestic boats, and ingenious talents have never been seen in ancient times. "
"Along the way, I recorded the differences in weather, climate, geography and people, the ugliness and beauty of people in various countries, the similarities and differences in soil and customs, the differences in local products, and the structure of the territory. I compiled them into a book and presented them to the emperor. I am very pleased."
"Ming Xing Wen Ming, was born and served as a guest, holding the country of jade, arrived on the ladder. Wonderful achievements are made by nature, and rewarded with extraordinary merit plaques. Specially grant to the loyal and brave people from the ocean one hundred silver, ten national cellars Vase, plus a large cloak with flying fish pattern on the breast. "
"The Han Dynasty is full of loyalty and good deeds." The Xian envoy heard about it. "
"I admire this."
The rewards are particularly generous. Each of the sailors and soldiers who went to Taixi this time received a first-class merit card. Rewards, in addition to merit medals, a reward of one hundred silver per person, ten bottles of the national cellar, and a worsted woolen cloak. These are all hard currencies in hard currency, such as this flying fish pattern double-breasted cloak. One piece costs more than thirty silver and is a long cloak that can last a lifetime.
"I would like to thank the Emperor for his kindness." Liu Ji and Chen Tianrui thanked the Emperor for his great kindness on behalf of the entire crew. They originally thought that a reward of ten silver coins would be good, but His Majesty directly gave him one hundred silver coins.
The Ming Emperor never treated him lightly when it came to rewarding his heroes.
"Sea trade has never been a carnival for a few people. The Ming Dynasty is not suitable for the sea trade method of the West." Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Ji and Chen Tianrui and began to answer their questions.
When Li Yougong was picking up people in Tianjin, he also heard those doubts. When he returned to the palace, Li Yougong reported to His Majesty.
The great voyage of the West is an adventure, and its most fundamental logic is the private economy that is willing to admit defeat. Once the cargo and weapons arrive, I will make a fortune, conquer cities and territories, and go on an unlimited rampage. The next ship, cargo, weapons and crew If you sink in the middle of the ocean, then you are willing to admit defeat, make room for other gamblers, and replace yourself with a new gambler.
The most intuitive manifestation is that watertight cabins in Taixi did not slowly appear until modern times.
Taishi can take risks like this because there is a big bathtub with calm waves and extremely good sea conditions and wind conditions in Taixi, which has given birth to a common adventure culture of gamblers. The sea conditions and changeable wind conditions in the Western Pacific , it is impossible to give birth to a general risk-taking. Gambling is about losing and winning. Under the changeable sea conditions and wind conditions, the risks are really too great.
Without a boatman, the water distance from Yuegang to Jilong Tamsui Town can be blown to Qiongzhou. You can imagine how difficult it is.
The sea trade of the West is a carnival of a few people, while the sea trade of the Ming Dynasty can only be a miracle of ten thousand people.
This fundamental difference in geography breeds culture, resulting in two completely different routes between the Ming Dynasty and the West in the Age of Discovery. The Ming plundered with goods, while the West plundered with arms.
Which one is better and which one is worse? Which one is good and which one is bad? Whose morals are more noble? Zhu Yijun never wanted to talk about it. He was a pragmatic person and he cared more about how to obtain silver more efficiently.
Obviously, Ming used his own way to siphon the world's silver.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important issue is the distribution of profits from maritime trade. The Ming Dynasty made a lot of money from ocean trade, and they wanted to be powerful but couldn't. They must be dissatisfied. Liu Ji said very worriedly.
Since the Zhengtong years, the public opinion of completely stopping official ships and official trade started from here, and Liu Ji was naturally worried.
"I have given permission for private ships to accompany them. The ability of three-masted ships to withstand wind and waves is indeed inferior to that of five-masted ocean-going ships. The court officials are discussing the release of subscription purchases of five-masted ocean-going ships." Zhu Yijun released a A very positive signal for maritime trade, the edict allows private individuals to purchase five-masted ships.
This is something that liberals have been asking for and advocating for, and now the process has finally begun.
In fact, the court has confirmed that it will be liberalized, but there are still some doubts about the pricing.
How much is the right price to sell a five-masted ocean-going ship that cost 25,000 silver? If it is sold too cheap, there will be smuggling and reselling, and it is easy for the friendly countries to be surprised, and they will add 50,000 yuan to the price. Only silver can be used to lift the boat, but it is sold at this price?
The price is too high, and you will be accused of being cruel internally and cruel externally. I would rather give it to a friendly country than a domestic slave.
The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry believe that it is most appropriate to sell it for 50,000 silver, and sell it to Taixi for 250,000 silver. After all, the industrial chain was not connected at the beginning, and the high price is reasonable. For example, the fast sailing ship, the Shah envoy He said more than once that money is not a problem, but Daming won’t sell it either, right?
Allied countries were surprised. In fact, Ming Dynasty did not need to care too much. Buy early and enjoy early, and buy late to enjoy discounts.
New technologies and new ship types are naturally expensive. It’s not like Ming Dynasty begged its allies to buy them. It was the allies who insisted on putting money into Ming’s hands.
"Your Majesty is wise!" Liu Ji also looked happy when he heard this. He actually wanted to say that flat sand ships transport inland rivers, two-masted ships transport along the coast, three-masted ships move offshore, five-masted ships go to the ocean, and three-masted ships move to the ocean. Trade is really dangerous.
A total of five ships were lost this time, all three-masted plywood ships. One lost its way, one ran aground on the rocks, and three overflowed in the violent storm. Although the casualties were not large, there were still more than fifty people. The soldiers and sailors stayed in the ocean forever. For this kind of ship, which originally learned from the foreigners and learned skills from the barbarians, ocean navigation is really a life-and-death task. On the contrary, a five-masted ship is much safer.
The production of five-masted ocean-going ships has steadily increased to the point where it is enough for private purchase, which means that Ming Dynasty's maritime trade has entered a new chapter!
The momentum of opening up the sea is unstoppable!
“As for strong analgesics such as opium, ayahuasca, and chat grass, there is still a ban. The ban means that no matter how much or how little, they must be strictly investigated and found guilty. Anyone who has stolen the goods will be executed immediately. No excuses!" Zhu Yijun once again emphasized the court's decision to ban people and kill them if they are caught.
Beheading in the Ming Dynasty required three executions and two rounds of investigations to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions to the greatest extent.
A prohibition is a prohibition, and prohibition requires heavy punishment. No matter how many or how little, there is only one sentencing standard, and that is to kill by execution, no matter who is involved.
This is not only the will of the emperor, but also the consensus of the Ming Dynasty. The Jieyuan has proved its harm. In order to publicize this harm, the Ming Dynasty has published the harm in the Di newspaper and told the Ming Dynasty Its terrible harm to everyone accelerates the formation of consensus.
It’s not that Ming Dynasty doesn’t want to make money, it also sells tea, coffee and wine.
Zhu Yijun chatted with the returning courtiers for a long time and answered some of their most concerned questions. He said in an extremely helpless tone: "I have already tried to persuade the Han people in Sun City, Mexico, but there is nothing I can do. , I hope Felipe II will not make a mistake.”
Faced with Ming’s siphoning of silver, Felipe was certainly dissatisfied with the current situation of trade deficit, but Ming was only interested in silver for Spanish goods. The rest of the Ming Dynasty could produce by themselves. This situation would be difficult to change within three hundred years. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the Qing Dynasty in critical condition, the Qing Dynasty was still a country with a trade surplus. This was determined by the scale of production.
In order to change the current situation of trade deficit, Great Britain dumped opium against the Qing Dynasty, and even broke out two Opium Wars. Later, Great Britain still had a trade deficit, because Great Britain quickly got the boomerang, and the Tatar Qing Dynasty was defeated and could not As the smoking ban continued, the Tatars became flooded with opium and soon began to export large quantities to Britain.
Britain used opium to change its trade deficit, which eventually led to the proliferation of domestic opium.
Before the British sailed across the seas, Spain and the Netherlands were the dominant maritime powers.
Beginning in the 31st year of Wanli and ending in the first year of Kangxi, Spain launched three large-scale massacres of Chinese in the Philippines.
Twenty-five thousand people in the 31st year of Wanli In the Dalun Mountain Massacre, in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, the cruel colonists once again launched a second massacre of Chinese in the Philippines. This time, the death toll was 27,000, and the remaining 13,000 were listed as Untouchables had to pay a poll tax of six yuan per year and had to convert.
In the first year of Kangxi, the Spanish and the Dutch once again joined forces to massacre more than 35,000 Chinese in the Philippines, killing all women and children. Then, they launched a brutal and inhumane massacre of the Chinese throughout Southeast Asia. Because the Chinese Their large presence makes them feel threatened by their dominance.
Even though Manila is the largest entrepot in the Far East, and even though the largest trading partners of Spain and the Netherlands in the Far East are China, they still raised their butcher knives and aimed at unarmed civilians. "Mexico is far away, and the West is far away, but Nanyang is very close. If Felipe really does this, I swear, I will retaliate in equal measure and slaughter all the red-haired people in Nanyang, whether by sending naval troops or by land. Go to Taixi, destroy his summer palace, take him prisoner to the Ming Dynasty, and behead him in public." Zhu Yijun very calmly made a promise to the Ming Emperor, just as he had promised Qi Jiguang, he would conquer thousands of miles like a tiger.
The Ming Emperor's promises can be taken as nothing. After all, the imperial edict may be reneged on, but some promises are better to be believed.
Ada Khan is deeply touched by this.
“Felipe is not a fool.” Wan Shihe stood up and bowed his head and said: “Your Majesty, I have always said that barbarians have wolf-like faces and beast-like hearts, and are afraid of power but not moral. He is powerful but not moral, so I thought he would not do it.”
"Now the Ming Dynasty has the strength and determination to retaliate against it in a reciprocal manner. Any unfriendly behavior will incur the wrath of heaven. It is precisely because of the ability to retaliate that it can protect the Ming Dynasty. Just like this time, the Ming Dynasty caravans can travel around the world unimpeded, and the Western Ocean ( Many governor-general offices in various countries in the Indian Ocean did not dare to test the Ming Dynasty's strength lightly, because the Ming Dynasty would really beat him."
"The governor-general office in Goa is the best example, which is the Ming Dynasty's Yimu Lixin. . ”
Wan Shihe put forward a point of view, believing that Ming Dynasty does not need to worry too much. Only when Ming Dynasty is unable to retaliate will these ruthless Fanyi dare to act boldly. This is the necessity of Xuanwei overseas.
The Ming Dynasty fought hard for two and a half years with the Goa Governor's Palace in the Strait of Malacca, smashing the Goa Governor's Palace that had been in operation for sixty years.
“There is also Felipe II. He is not confused. He is also a very diligent monarch. He has to process a large number of official documents every year and write more than 400 letters to governors everywhere. From the fact that he swallowed the two breaths of Luzon and Portugal, it can be seen that he will not offend the Ming Dynasty easily. "Wan Shihe personally admired Felipe II very much.
A diligent monarch who is committed to making Spain great will not easily offend a large Eastern country. That would be a disaster for the whole of Spain.
Spain lacks centripetal force, so it has to rely on religion. Now for the goods of the Ming Dynasty, silver is another important centripetal force. Currency, money, and goods are the currency. If it offends the Ming Dynasty, the largest source of commodities, then it will It's a foolish decision.
"I hope so." Zhu Yijun nodded and said. As long as Felipe II is not stupid, Zhu Yijun is still willing to maintain the status quo of the friendly countries. If he is stupid, then Ming Dynasty will have no choice but to break free from the shackles of ethics.
Buwu Taixi, it is still too difficult for the Ming Dynasty. The ocean projection capability is insufficient, the number of strong soldiers is too small, and there is no logistical supplies. If you want to launch a war of annihilation thousands of miles away, the Ming Dynasty will Not that great yet.
But if Felipe does something unpleasant, Zhu Yijun will use all his strength to make Felipe pay the price.
In June of the 11th year of Wanli, Taixi's large sailing ship was about to arrive at the port. It would be clear how Felipe would react.
After the Great Court Meeting, the Ming Dynasty Jingtang was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, because the Ming Emperor finally stopped eating alone and let go of the purchase of five-masted transoceanic ships. The Jingtang was full of praises and praises. Words, similarly, the price of a five-masted ship of 50,000 silver also makes everyone in the world excited!
The world is most fortunate when the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is benevolent and the emperor is supreme!
Of course, this immediately made Shah Maimaiti and Legaz unable to sit still. They bought a boat of 250,000 yuan. When it came to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty buying boats, they only needed 50,000 yuan a boat? The unit price of a boat is not as much as the price they added! Is this reasonable?
Of course this makes sense.
Thanks to the integration of the industrial chain, the improvement of production scale, and vertical integration cost control, production costs have begun to decline. This is an objective business law, so there is no need to make a fuss or be surprised.
Surprise is of no use. The officials of the Ministry of Rites do not regard Fanyi as human beings at all. The Minister of Rites talks about the wolf-faced beasts of Fanyi every day, so His Majesty gave them a seat during the ship review. Son, according to the Ministry of Rites, let them stand and watch the ceremony, and they must all kowtow to thank God.
The cost was indeed high before. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been open to the sea for ten years, it is not in vain. How much did one teak wood cost back then? How much does one party cost now? How much does a barrel of tung oil cost? How much does a barrel cost now?
Of course, this is all to fool the Shah envoy and Legaz. It is just an explanation, as long as it makes sense, and I will not sell it if I continue to make trouble.
The cost of a five-masted transoceanic ship needs to be added to the construction cost, so it is so expensive. Someone has to pay for those upfront investments, right?
In the middle of May of the 11th year of Wanli, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty issued an interesting edict. The Ming Dynasty had its own alcohol sales inspection day, and the last day of May was set.
On this day, every restaurant in the capital can bring their wine to Yanxing Building for inspection. Of course, this kind of inspection is mainly a commercial activity, not a monopoly on Liquor in the Song Dynasty. All restaurants can participate. It’s too late this year. Whoever gets there counts.
In order to make this opening wine party more lively, the Ming Emperor showed rare generosity and took out 10,000 bottles of Guojiao for sale.
Zhu Yijun thought that not many restaurants would participate. After all, it was the first time to hold such a wine party. Daming had very little experience in this area, and the restaurants in Daming did not recognize this business model. Not high. Although it took nearly three hundred years in the Song and Song Dynasties, it was the first time in the Ming Dynasty.
But at the end of May, Zhu Yijun looked at the long gift list and said blankly: "How can this become a profitable business again?"
There were too many people participating. , famous wines with different names are basically on the list. Selling wine is an ancient business. All kinds of famous wines are sold in the Ming Dynasty. After the news spread to Nanya, countless literati and poets arrived in painted boats. The capital, together, participated in the grand event.
It was extremely lively all of a sudden. The capital was crowded with people. The Five Cities Military and Horse Department did not have enough manpower to check the road guides. They quickly went to Tiqi Yamen for help. In addition to checking the road guides, they also had to maintain the capital. In terms of security, all the government officials of Shuntian Prefecture have been mobilized. Zhao Mengyou, under the emperor's instruction, sent three people to punish thousands of households and a thousand people to rush to support, which stabilized the situation.
Thousands of households in Tiexing are led by Jin Yiwei. With the embroidered spring knife on their shoulders, no matter how powerful they are in the local area, they can only do it when they arrive at the Ming Dynasty Jingtang.
There is only one person in the Ming Dynasty who can call the shots, and that is Your Majesty!
Feng Bao said with a smile on his face: "Wang Qian, who is in charge of the Yanxing Building, asked your Majesty to personally write the four words 'Submission to be the first' as a favor for the first place in the opening of the auction. Reward.”
"I don't know how to drink. I won the first prize and I don't drink. Isn't this a lie?" Zhu Yijun shook his head and said. He really doesn't drink. He is afraid that drinking will cause trouble and he is not happy to lie to others, so If you win first place, forget it.
“For this calligraphy, each family is willing to spend money to name the opening day. For example, this year they can name Wuxiang Shaojiu or Shandong Qiulubai. They are willing to spend this amount of money! "Feng Bao said with a slap in the face.
"How much silver? Five thousand silver just wants to buy me a word, who are you looking down on!" Zhu Yijun immediately shook his head and said.
Feng Bao said quickly: "It's fifty thousand silver."
Fifty thousand silver is one-tenth of the late emperor's imperial mausoleum, just for the lively naming of more than ten days, and it's just This year, the next year I will have to buy more.
"But this wine must be really good. I can't fool people. At least it can't be worse than Guojiao." Zhu Yijun immediately changed his tune. For 50,000 taels, just buy four words. It's really worth it. And if you get the first place in the submission, you will be extra careful when doing business. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the emperor will hold you accountable and use the emperor's name to cheat and deceive. This is a test of the bond between the nine tribes.
The main reason is that alcohol can only be produced by brewing these days, so you don’t have to worry too much about fake wine. At most, you can just add more water. Isn’t the emotional value of drinking alcohol? Guojiao's products are so expensive, but they are still sold out every time.
Zhu Yijun’s Guojiao is sweet potato roasting. It’s said to be delicious, but how delicious can a sweet potato roasting be?
“That’s natural.” Feng Bao quickly bowed his head and said.
The naming on the opening inspection day is to determine the top spot after the inspection. When the Di newspaper is published nationwide, the naming will be carried out. For example, Shandong Qiu Lubai wins the championship, that is Shandong Zhao Ji Qiu Lubai , ranked first.
Fifty thousand taels is the endorsement fee.
The excitement in the capital caught the Ming Dynasty Jingtang a little off guard. Zhao Mengyou's Tiqi battalion was unable to support them, so they had to let the capital camp send a left-behind infantry battalion to maintain order. This was considered as nothing happened.
On the last day of May, Xie Ji Wuxiang Shaojiu, the number one wine in the south of the Yangtze River, and Qiu Lubai from Shandong Zhao Ji entered the finals. In order to participate in this opening day, the boss of the Xie family traveled from Nanya A hydrofoil sailboat for coastal defense inspection entered Beijing.
In order to take the fast boat, the boss of the Xie family lobbied to Nanya Wei Guogong's Mansion. After paying fifty silver for the boat fare, he got a one-time professional horse tag.
When I heard that someone offered to take a hydrofoil sailboat and paid fifty silver for the boat fare, the coastal defense inspector who received him looked confused. This was the first time he heard such a strange request. explain.
Having been operating a hydrofoil sailboat for five years, even if it flies on the water during coastal defense inspections, it will be ridiculed.
In the end, Shandong Zhao Ji Qiulu Baili came out on top and received unanimous praise from twenty-eight wine tasting experts.
The wine that Xie Ji brought to the capital to attend the opening inspection was spilled on the road. The clipper was fast, but it was also bumpy, and the wine jar was smashed directly.
Xie Ji is slightly inferior, but the big boss also announced in a high profile, Zhao Ji, don't be arrogant! Wait until next year when they bring the good wine from home to the capital and compete again! This year has been too rushed!
Zhao Jiqiu Lubai also invited the oiran from Taibai Tower, held up banners, beat gongs and drums and swaggered through the market, and returned to Shandong!
Prime Minister Shen of Shuntian Prefecture has always been very busy these days. When doing business, you will be taxed, and you will be taxed at 6 per cent.
The workload of this time's sales inspection is equivalent to the workload of two months on weekdays. In order for the merchants in the area not to be targeted by the tax bureau, the yamen officials also tried their best to tell them not to have any expectations. He was lucky enough to pay business taxes honestly, but he was targeted by the Tax Inspection Institute, and even Emperor Yuanfu couldn't save him.
After the excitement, the capital did not become empty. The capital with narrow roads was full of congestion.
On the fourth day of June in the eleventh year of Wanli, the large sailing ship from Taixi arrived at the port again. This time the messenger was still Sauron, the secretary of state with a gray beard. The book clearly expressed Felipe II's anger and dissatisfaction.
The way Felipe II expressed his anger was: I will never come again!
Solon told Ming Dynasty that this was Felipe II's last galleon trade. After this time, the two parties will not owe each other anything, and each will live his own life!
"It feels like a child getting angry. If Zhi'er doesn't like anyone, he will tell him: I won't play with you anymore!" Zhu Yijun held his credentials and looked at Zhang Juzheng with a puzzled look on his face. said.
"He will come again." Zhang Juzheng said with great confidence: "The Ming Dynasty does not have his silver, and there is an inflow of Womagang and Japanese silver. The Ming Dynasty can also sell goods to Lisbon, but Felipe does not After buying Daming’s goods, there really is no other place to buy them.”
“It’s a bit emotional, just calm me down.”
I want to do something drastic but don’t dare, and I don’t want to interact with him. No, what Felipe II is looking forward to most right now is to use cotton cloth to completely destroy the disgusting English handicraft industry. Then everyone will be good friends!
