Li Bao, as the commander of the guard navy, also came on a fast horse, and half of the ships were transferred, and he was a little idle as a handsome, and when he heard that Wang Xiu was going to Shamen Island, he hurried over.

As for Shao Qing, who is responsible for guarding the Northern Sea Fleet of the Navy Army, what is better than being an envoy along the river, looking at the Jianghuai boats all day long. Although it is not a formal position, the fleet of large sea ships has not yet been officially established, but it is also set up on a grass platform, and he can't run away from this temple, and there are only a few of the main generals of the guard navy.

Wang Xiu guarded the naval army Dazhai in Shamen, and saw the implementation of his own ideas, the iron track road from Tuncheng to the wharf, the spacious cement avenue, and the complex shipping machinery, which were welcomed by the soldiers, and some people even made genius improvements to the machinery.

There is no shortage of labor here, and those prisoners who are assigned are natural labor, and the guards and sailors have no idea of treating these people well, and the cheap labor force is on the battlefield, how can the progress of various projects not be fast? As for whether those people can bear it, Salmon Island is notorious, and the people who go are all prisoners second only to death row prisoners, and they are all dead and alive, and people are indifferent.

Early the next morning, he got up early, washed up and dined, and went to the sea, quietly waiting for the dawn and red sun in the sky.

Purple air came from the east, he walked on the gravel beach by the sea, looking at the rough sea in the distance, a gust of sea breeze with salty and wet water vapor blowing, the morning sea breeze was very cool, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Zong Liang took a cloak, panted and trotted over, and said, "Sir, it's windy on the beach, put it on!" ”

"You've got a heart." Wang Xiu put on a cloak and wrapped it around her body, and said with a smile: "It's really careless to just want to come out and watch the sunrise, but you don't want to be cool in the morning." ”

The corners of Zong Liang's mouth twitched, the war in the northwest had reached a critical moment, even if Wang Xiu did not stay in the Yongxing Army, he should have paid attention to the battle situation in Kaifeng, how did he run to the shore of the sea. Even if the imperial court is organizing the rescue of Taishang, there is no need for Mr. to run to the beach, Wang Xiu did not say, and he did not ask very interestingly.

He didn't realize that Wang Xiu was not sitting on Shamen Island for Zhao Huan, but had his own plans.

"When will Ma Zichong and Uncle Wu Ji arrive?" Wang Xiu asked casually.

"They are heading north from the official road and should arrive in two days, and the fleet is still in the Haizhou area." Zong Liang is not a strategist, but he is capable, and when he heard the sound, he knew the elegant meaning, and immediately understood that Wang Xiu was waiting for Ma to expand them, and when he thought of Yu Wenyi's northward journey, he seemed to understand.

"I went to the grassland, and now it's time to run Goryeo and Fuso!" Wang Xiu's tone was extraordinarily calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Since Zong Liang understood, his heart straightened out a lot, and he said excitedly: "With such a large fleet, it is too late for the lords of those small states to be shocked, and the small states of Fusang are also honored." In fact, at this time, Dongying Fusang already has the saying that the sun rises in the east, and the so-called Japanese national name was born, since Wang Xiu still calls Fusang, there is still a faint derogatory meaning of disgust, and he naturally will not have a good impression.

The so-called Japan is the place where the sunrise, symbolizing the moment when the purple air comes from the east, it should also be on the coast of the East China Sea of the Great Song Dynasty, how can it be in a small barbarian state? Isn't that? I didn't see those Fusang women who came from the west, and I couldn't walk when I saw the children of the Han family who were built in a majestic manner.

Wang Xiu nodded and said indifferently: "This move is lost, Goryeo has become the camp of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, Fusang is a silver supply place, and they are also a good place to make money, and in less than ten years, they will definitely achieve great results." ”

It is also a matter of not doing it, the Great Song Dynasty produced too little gold and silver, not to mention gold, that is, the official silver as a hard currency, it is also extremely rare, the conquest of the South China Sea to obtain the origin of Jinsha, from the river can dig out the sands, as for Fusang, that is the silver minerals, large mines can even be open-pit logging, Goryeo's poor mountains and bad waters, but in the flank strategy, an insignificant transit base.

"Mr. is generous and creates overseas roads, but not for the sake of the Jurchens." Since Zong Liang understood, his thoughts were different.

"The Jurchens are not to be afraid, but some things are still very variable, and they will lose all the games if they are not careful, so they can't be careless."

Zong Liang agrees with Wang Xiu's caution, he is a cautious person himself, he thinks, the stalls of the Great Song Dynasty are very large, and the guards and sailors are on an expedition to the South China Sea, even if Wang Lun follows, who can say that it will be smooth sailing? It's hard to start a fight with several countries. The Jin army still did not retreat in Hebei, and the war in the northwest was gradually getting better, and both sides were full of strength, and it is difficult to say whether it would be successful or not.

If it is said that the operation of Goryeo is to deal with the Jurchens, the trip to Fusang and the Ping'an Dynasty is completely for the needs of domestic development, and it is also the most important part of Wang Xiu.

In his eyes, the development of the country can be said to be changing with each passing day, and as Wang Xiu's confidant, he knows most about some policies of his family and country.

The industrial and commercial development of Jiangyou, as well as the continuous increase of trade exchanges, have reached the point where copper coins can no longer bear heavy responsibilities. War bonds became some form of paper money, but it was only a limited transaction, and the Jiaozi in Sichuan could not be popularized, and even if they were printed in large quantities, they could not withstand the heavy commercial transactions.

Wang Xiu, Shen Mo, Cai Yi and others have begun to concretize the paper money, and the Huang Song Bao banknote is cautiously brewing and preparing to implement it on a small scale, which requires a large amount of gold and silver, the establishment of a gold standard monetary policy, and the promotion of commercial development.

Then the problem arises, the output of gold and silver in the Great Song Dynasty can never meet the reserve of banknote issuance, and the gold and silver inflow from overseas trade cannot form a stable foundation, and foreign plunder has become the only option, and the expedition to the South China Sea has a strong flavor of economic war.

"Forget it, it's too early, wait for Ma Zichong and Uncle Wu Ji to arrive." Wang Xiu took a deep breath and stretched his waist lazily, carrying the salty and wet sea breeze, which made him feel particularly comfortable.

Zong Liang felt a chill, and suddenly asked: "Sir, the war in the northwest is in full swing, I hope that Captain Qu and they can achieve full success." ”

Wang Xiu smiled, war is a field full of accidents, and no one can predict the final result until the end, but he believes that it will succeed.

Originally, the battle of Pingxia City caused the main force of the Xia army to suffer heavy losses, no matter how you evaluate our Tongjun King, that guy is also capable as a supervising army, and the party members have been beaten violently for more than ten years, and the entire northwest shape is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty.

Now, the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army has completed its training, new weapons and tactics have been used, Pingqiang City has consumed another 100,000 Xia troops, and the Northwest War has completely completed the strategic adjustment.

Besides, his stay in Shaanxi will make the generals restrained, since he has avoided the trend, and the generals are all famous generals, it would be a bit pretentious to worry about it.

Naturally, his eyes could not be limited to a corner, but on the entire world strategy.
