Chapter 105 A Fat and Thin Duck
"Tomorrow, I will inform the world that the sea ban will be lifted, but the goods must be registered through the city and the sea tax must be paid.
It is also necessary to vigorously build ships and train sailors, and strive to capture Dongying within two years.
The Great Song Dynasty can only passively resist the Jin State now, and the Yanmen Pass is a flat country, and there is not enough money and silver to buy good horses, so it can't wave the Northern Expedition at all.
I want money and silver, and I want the whole kingdom of gold to be buried. Hua Kui said, clenching her teeth.
"Funeral?" Chen Daosheng was a little confused.
Hua Kui calmed down and said indifferently: "Why not bury the soldiers who have been killed by the Jin Army over the years." ”
Chen Daosheng was silent for a while, and then replied: "The ship-casting skills of the Great Song Dynasty today are simply not able to build long-distance ships.
According to the poor road, the sea is opened first, the so-called merchants seek profits, and once there is enough profit in the sea, those merchants will consciously develop and build ships that are enough to sail.
Let's rely on these folk ship-casting skills to build big ships and cross the Dongying. ”
"Tomorrow, I will announce the opening of the sea in the court, and everything will be left to Daochang Chen. ”
"Poor Dao is determined to do it with all his heart. ”
In the early morning of the next day, the clouds were very low, and only a blue one flowed out of the sky, like a river leading to heaven, and there was a glimmer of dawn in the depression.
Resplendent and richly furnished in the Jinluan Palace.
Chen Daosheng and Liang Shicheng followed Hua Kui out of the dragon and phoenix screen cast by jade, came to the palace platform, and stood beside Hua Kui on the left and right.
Liang Shicheng has been holding back a breath in his heart, and his voice is more sharp than usual: "If there is something to start, there is nothing to retreat." ”
Without waiting for the courtiers to play, Hua Kui took the lead: "Now the treasury is empty, and the people pay heavy taxes.
I plan to open Haijia, re-establish the city ship department, and set up the city ship yamen in each port.
All private overseas trade, passing ships are registered and pay sea taxes.
In addition, a large Song naval army was built to guard the safety of our Great Song coastal border. ”
Hua Kui did not say that he planned to attack Dongying, after all, the rice had to be eaten in one bite, and things had to be done step by step.
"Your Majesty, the ban on Haijia was established by Taizong, in order to prevent private merchants from transporting supplies to the north by sea and committing acts against the enemy.
My Great Song Dynasty is rich and prosperous, and opening the sea will only cause the outflow of resources from the Great Song Dynasty.
In addition, the Great Song Dynasty fought with the Jinxia two countries for many years, with millions of armor, and the military expenditure was huge enough, and it was absolutely impossible to build a naval army at the expense of the people and money. Zuo Prime Minister Liu Yao retorted.
The scene was silent for a while, and it was obvious that no one supported the decision to open the sea.
Hua Kui's fingers tapped on the armrest of the dragon chair, and said casually: "I, I didn't consult with you.
I'm just telling you what I'm going to do.
I have not raised you ministers to ask questions, but to solve them.
I, again, open the sea and build a water army. If you think you can't do it, you can ignore it.
But if you don't do well in your position, then resign and be replaced. ”
After that, he got up and took his hands, and announced sonorously: "Chen Daosheng listens to the order. ”
"Slave...... The maid took the order. ”
"I have appointed you as a city official, managing overseas trade, and strictly prohibiting private smuggling. Each port has a new city envoy, and the personnel are up to you.
In addition, the Great Song Dynasty Navy was established by you, and the money and silver had to be raised through the City Shipping Division, and this Navy was named: Covering the Navy. ”
"The slave obeys. Chen Daosheng bent down and arched his hand.
Hua Kui turned his head to Chen Daosheng and said kindly: "You already have an official position, you can call yourself a minister in the future." ”
"Yes, I obey. ”
Liu Yao saw that Hua Kui was so resolute, and he knew that he couldn't change and persuade him.
But if the sea ban is really opened, the oil and water of the city ship division is too big, and the water army is also real power, so Liu Yao can't help but be moved, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, this city ship division and the new water army are extremely important to the Great Song Dynasty, and Gonggong Chen doesn't seem to have half the credit, I'm afraid he can't convince the public." ”
Hua Kui glanced at him and sneered secretly: "He is my house slave, I am relieved of him, but I can't rest assured of you, this explanation, Lord Liu thinks it's okay." ”
This can already be said to be a tearing face, Liu Yao hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't blame, it's Weichen who lost his words." For a moment, I forgot to wipe the sweat from my forehead.
There is no way, Hua Sunflower never cares about anything, and his absolute strength gives him enough courage.
It's impossible to force the palace or something, it's a big deal to give a shot if you're in a hurry.
......
Returning to the mansion of the chief steward, Chen Daosheng took out the communication wooden card from his arms, entered a little true qi, and put it in his ear.
"Hey, Master. ”
"What's the matter? ”
"The disciple has been appointed as the chief steward, and now His Majesty has appointed the disciple to be in charge of the city and the preparation for the construction of the navy, but this man is insufficient, I don't know if I can let the junior disciples come to help. ”
"Your juniors and disciples all have important things to do, but it doesn't matter, the city envoy can let those palace eunuchs serve as them. As for the overhaul navy, 3,000 elite soldiers plus you should be enough to sweep through Dongying.
If there is a master master in Dongying, you can use the magic technique to help you. ”
"But most of these eunuchs are greedy for money, if they are allowed to be market envoys, the disciples are afraid that they will be corrupt and taxed. ”
"Then you just pick the fat ducks, these fat ducks are full, no matter how much you eat, you can't eat much.
And because they are not hungry, they can rationally refuse poisonous things.
When you are about to raise it, you can tell Your Majesty, and you will vomit it in the end.
Afraid that they will go with empty ducks, they will continue to loot to fill their stomachs, no matter what the consequences. ”
"The disciple knows, Master Xie instructs. ”
......
In the palace, in Chen Daosheng's governor's mansion, a eunuch was placing a gilded wooden box on the table with a flattering face.
"Manager Chen, these are all the net worth of the slave maid, I heard that the chief steward wants to choose a city envoy among our slaves and maids, and the slave and maid also want to do their part for Your Majesty, I don't know if it is possible. ”
Chen Daosheng opened the wooden box on the table, and inside was a thick stack of official friends.
Picked up the official Jiaozi and counted it, well, there are more than the previous ones, it should be a fat duck.
Then he said seriously: "Okay, this city envoy has a place for you, it doesn't matter if you eat something on weekdays, there must be no mistakes in things, otherwise it will ......."
"The slave knows that he must be 10,000 careful in doing things, and he will live up to the expectations of the chief manager. The eunuch nodded again and again.
Chen Daosheng bowed slightly, closed the wooden box and said, "Well, you go back first, you will come down after a while, and remember to call the next one in when you go out." ”
"Yes, Lord Steward. The eunuch looked happy and gave a big salute to Chen Daosheng.
Let's go out the door.
"I'll come first, I'll come first. ”
"First come, first come, know no. ”
"What comes first and comes, looking at your poor and sour appearance, how can Manager Chen afford your gift, if you give it away, it's for nothing, it's better to let me come first." ”
