The opening drama of the Yin people group discussion is nothing else, it is a matter of going to sea to explore.

Since Li Shimin also placed an order with the Mo family, in addition to building the ships needed by their own family and the hundred schools, the remaining time was only enough to build the big ships of the Lu, Zheng, and Cui families. Because they said that they would advance and retreat together, some people resorted to petty tricks, and many of the heads of the family had been cursing at home for months.

The ministers of the court and the central government were also not happy, if we did not follow the envoys to persuade the saints, how could the birth of a hundred schools be so smooth. Aren't we just waiting to go to sea to make money? What's the matter if we can't book a ship at a critical moment?

The Mo family also said that if the Holy Lord wants to send people to sea at the beginning of the third year of Zhenguan, we will have enough time to build such ships. Thinking that the Mo family would not have money or make money, these people turned their attention back to Li Shimin. People have given you three ships, and you still order thirty boats.

No, when Li Shimin mentioned the matter of the ship in the court, he was immediately warmly treated by everyone -- they rose up and attacked him.

Feeling that the situation was not good, Li Shimin asked again, "Why didn't I settle the cost of shipbuilding, why didn't anyone speak?"

Wei Zhenglai, a small expert in striking people, said, "Weichen doesn't know about the imperial court ordering a ship with the Mo family, if it is a private order from the saint, the money should come out of your private treasury." As for the imperial court's exploration overseas, we have three ships sent by the Mo family. ”

Li Shimin was so angry that he looked up, what is the meaning that the imperial court has a boat sent by the Mo family, it is a boat given to him by the Mo family, a boat given to him alone! It is no wonder that Li Shimin is in a hurry, a small part of the money from selling soap products is repaid, and some of the rest buy daily consumables in the name of him and the queen to give to the people affected by the disaster, and those people who sell their children and daughters also rely on him to pay for the redemption of their children.

Now who in the Tang Dynasty doesn't know that I have become a poor bastard again, and I don't deliberately raise the private treasury to stimulate people? Wei donkey, sooner or later, I will have to clean you up! Not now, Li Shimin pretended to be puzzled and asked: "I heard that Uncle Wang Xian said that going to sea can make money, I thought that the three big ships sent by the Mo family were enough, so I helped book the ships in order to make the imperial court also have income." ”

In order to spread the new crop, Tang Jian just returned to Chang'an on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. Thinking that he hadn't been in the court for a long time, he followed up and stood up to show his feelings, "Due to natural disasters, the Holy Lord has exempted many places from taxes, and there is not much money left in the treasury. Weichen thought that it was not advisable to go too far to go to sea for the first time, and if so, ordinary ships could barely use it. ”

"It's good to have extra income, but you can't gamble with your foundation. This came from Li Jing, who was always afraid that the imperial court would owe military salaries.

Many people's brains quickly turned away, they all have big ships at home, but the quality is much worse than that made by the Mo family. If you can convince the Holy Lord not to sail far, you can join your own ship and travel together, and then go to book a boat with the Mo family, and wait for the first batch of ships to return before traveling together.

Of course, no matter whether the ship ordered by the saint still needs it, whether they can afford to buy it or not, they don't dare to think about it. Although making money is important, it is not worth it for a lifetime if you are hated by a careful eye.

You don't care about other people's ships, and you can't prepare them to calculate you. Looking at the ministers in the hall who came forward to persuade him to speak in turn, Li Shimin remained silent. What these people have in mind, Mr. Li knows very well in his heart, he is thinking about how to oppose the first army, and it is best to solve the cost of shipbuilding.

Li Shimin pretended to sigh, frowning with a melancholy expression, "Uncle Wang said that if it is dangerous to use an ordinary boat, I am afraid that half of it will be lost on the way. If the destruction of a ship is a small matter, isn't it human life on board?"

In the eyes of many people, such a sacrifice is nothing at all, but no one dares to say such things in their hearts. Looking at Li Shimin's appearance, I don't know what he has in mind, and the hearts of the ministers are all raised.

continued, "In this way, this time the imperial court only sent the three ships sent by the Mo family. It just so happens that I have privately booked some boats with the Mo family, and if any of your families also want to go to sea and don't have a boat, I can rent the boat to you. "Li Shimin has a good calculation, the charter must be high, and then get some money from his uncle to pay off the shipbuilding. If there is a problem with the ship on the road, don't be afraid, see who dares not to pay me!

Many people are tempted, and there are many people who have to rent a boat with him even if they don't want to do business with a scoundrel. The reason is very simple, if you don't hold your stinky feet this time, people will be willing to take us on another voyage.

So—

"Holy mercy, even if you make an offer, Weichen's family will rent a ship. ”

"Weichen also wants one, follow a holy king like you, we really have all the good things!"

"At the critical moment, the Holy One still takes care of me, and those who call me brothers and sisters are unreliable. ”

Cui Ji-hyun, who was still looking at himself when he heard the last person speak, and was always excited to watch the excitement, didn't care at all. It is a mediocrity not to be envied, but he is unanimously sought after by the clan because of the matter of the big ship. As for these people's complaints from time to time, it is completely to set off their intelligence. Xiao Cui trembled again, and even forgot about the troubles of three murders in his hand that he hadn't solved for the time being.

Looking at the hula people responding, Li Shimin grinned happily and said hehe. Wei Zheng originally wanted to emphasize the ownership of the three ships, but after thinking about it, he didn't stand up and speak again. He thought so, anyway, the treasury is not abundant, why not let the saint load the goods and transport them out, and then ask him to rent it after the ship returns from the gold panning. If Mr. Li knew that he was calculating people on the front foot, someone on the back foot would use his method to trap himself, and I don't know if he would jump up.

Wei Zheng is not a tiger's mouth, if there is a big harvest after the ship returns, and then the saint has thirty big ships in his hands and sees a good prospect, naturally he will not care about the three ships again, anyway, the income will be collected by the treasury and not into the pockets of others. I have to say that it is precisely because Lao Wei is very smart and has never crossed the line that Mr. Li hates it so much that it is not good to really take him.

Looking at the charter party that had become a saint in the early pilgrimage, there were many people like Li Jing who frowned. It's just that thinking about the saint's actions of using his private treasury for the benefit of the people, it's really hard to say that he doesn't want people to think about making money. I had no choice but to close my eyes and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Seeing that everyone was so upright, Li Shimin hurriedly quoted a sky-high price. Taking advantage of everyone's stunned, Mr. Li repeated his old tricks and ran away. Next, the ministers were ushered in, waiting for the chamberlains to accompany them home to collect the money.......

Listening to Li Chengqian's clear recount of the situation, the Yin people group laughed and leaned back.

Wang Xiran looked at Meng Xiang and asked curiously, "Meng Langjun, when you sent the ship, did you send it to the saint or to the imperial court?"

Meng Xiang was stunned, "This... I really didn't think much about it at the time, it seems that I had to go into retreat recently, and this question is not easy to answer. ”

Seeing that Meng Xiang was rarely stunned, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud again. They gathered together today mainly to discuss what cargo should be loaded on the six ships belonging to the two factions. Then there is the navigation route, which is also the reason why Li Chengqian still ran to Nanshan during the holidays, and he was sent by Li Shimin to ask for a navigation chart.

The route given by Wang Jue is, in modern terms, the island of Taiwan→ the Philippines→ Malaysia→ Indonesia→ Australia. As for the general location where there are good things, you can't tell Li Shimin. With his poor madness, he might be able to dig up gold and depreciate it.

"This is a nautical chart, one each for Cheng Qian and Meng Langjun. If our family has filial piety, it is difficult to send someone to follow, and we have to bother the Mo family. After Wang Jue finished speaking, he handed two maps with the same route and different markings to the two of them.

"No matter how tired it is, we are not confiscating benefits. "Meng Xiang doesn't like to play tricks when he speaks, and the Mo family has always been clear and honest. It is dangerous to go to sea, and the filial piety of the main family will go with him, just like cursing everyone to have an accident. Therefore, Meng Xiang did not feel that Wang Jue was deliberately pushing the dangerous matter to his side.

Li Chengqian stretched out his head and glanced at Meng Xiang's picture, and then compared it with the one in his hand, he smiled heartily, and it was estimated that Daddy should hide and complain in the Ganlu Hall after he found out. Since a group of uncles and uncles have been looking forward to going to sea for two years, they quickly got together after renting a ship to study what goods to bring and who should lead the team.

Chang'an is a place with few secrets, and there is nothing to keep secret about going to sea. Seeing that in the early morning and later generations, people were pulling silver coins to the palace one after another, and many people boldly stepped forward to inquire about the situation. After a while, word spread that the Holy Lord had sent people to sea.

Together, the matter of the three saints inviting Wang County Bo and Wang County Bo offering pictures was mentioned again.

"I said that there is a treasure map of mountains and rivers for ten thousand years, but you still don't believe it! Look, the Holy One has finally sent someone to hunt for the treasure. ”

"I didn't believe it at first, but on the way to you, I saw the prince coming back from Nanshan from a distance, and he was very precious holding a large scroll, which I guess was a treasure map with a more accurate location. ”

The time was spent in the discussion of the people and the active planning of the various families. Half a month later, the official road was crowded with people from all over the country to see them off, and other people with good faith came to watch.

Families sent a team of people to follow them on the road temporarily, and they would send the people who had gone out to sea to the ferry to help load the boat and come back. There is no way, there are so many things that they will never be transported by those who have been sent out to sea.

In addition to the number of items, there are also many types. During this half month, many people came to the door with a cheeky face during the period of filial piety, just to find Wang Jue to ask about the customs and items needed by the natives in those places. With Wang Jue's inspiration, coupled with the different magical brain holes of each family, the people found a lot of things in the goods that they couldn't imagine .......

Seeing that the people who saw off each family had finished speaking, Li Chengqian picked up the wine bowl and said: "This time to go to sea is not only a long way, time-consuming, but also full of crises, a scholar named Van Gogh of our hundred schools of thought said that fishermen know that the sea is full of dangers and understand that the sea is turbid, but they have never stayed on the shore because of these challenges. I hope you can have the spirit of a fisherman and be willing to go to the sea for the prosperity of our Datang. ”

"We will definitely live up to the trust of His Holiness and His Highness!" Although most of the people made this trip for their own interests, many people were incited by Li Chengqian's words. As long as it does not harm the interests of his own family, who is not willing to contribute to the country?

Li Chengqian took the people who came to see him off, stood on the official road and watched the huge team going to sea gradually move away, until he could no longer see their backs clearly. At the top of Nanshan Mountain, Wang Jue also hugged Ah Lu and watched the whole send-off process. At the moment, her heart is very complicated, and this step is a big stride, hoping that everything can develop in a good direction.
