Chapter 336: Ruthless
The first update
"Alright, alright, let's be serious!" Jingyou finished laughing, asked people to collect the bowl, and also gave Fan Ying a stool, and began to deliberate.
"Didn't you say that there is a charter about the South China Sea last time, and let me tell a few adults." Jingyou nodded and asked Fan Ying to come in, it was really not to scold, it was a serious matter.
In addition to the feudal towns, it is a time to rest with the people. But those hidden dangers on the outside must always be guarded against, otherwise, do you really have a headache and think about treating your feet when your feet hurt?
Therefore, the internal and external troubles were laid out, and the priorities were divided, and at present, it was to recover the islands of the South China Sea.
Nanhai Zhudao is a place where the former dynasty rebelled and stood on its own, and speaking of which, those small islands are really useless. No matter how abundant the production is, it can only feed the people of the island.
For Jing You, it's not so much that he doesn't give up an inch of land, but that he is annoyed by them. Basically, Jingyou doesn't have the kind of mind that doesn't give up an inch of land. He is still the arrogant thinking of the Heavenly Empire for thousands of years.
These people are really annoying to say, if it weren't for the fact that these people were rebels in the past, if they didn't have nothing to do with a big boat, they would come back to harass the inhabitants and fishing boats in the coastal waters. Like the Japanese in the previous dynasty, they have all become a harm. Jingyou really didn't treat them as a dish.
He hadn't settled the matter on land yet, how could he think of an overseas island, but he was harassed by them, so he had to let go of those restless elements on the grassland first and deal with these thieves first.
So Gyeongwoo was tired of their harassment, and some people in the DPRK suggested that they should interfere with the immigration, move the coastal residents inland, and then impose a sea ban so that these people could not grab them. It won't come!
But for Jing You, this is a sign of weakness and retreat. Now the sea is forbidden, and then what? Let them give up the land near the sea, and then give them the land of Lingnan? In the end, do you want to give them your own Kyoto?
As soon as these heart-wrenching words came out, the minister who asked for the forbidden sea could only resign from the table, but Jingyou changed his tolerance and agreed without hesitation. This also made the courtiers understand that Jingyou did not intend to compromise.
But just after the war. Within a few years. It is not feasible to raise troops again. When I talked to Fan Ying about the tomb stone that day, I talked about the internal and external troubles in the court. Fan Ying has her own views on the South China Sea.
Fan Ying believes that soldiers should not be used at all. In other words, at this time, there is no army. He had a new suggestion, though. He'll have to go back and think about it again, so. Just waited until today.
"You just talk about the general idea first, and it takes time to read the excerpts!" Jing You looked at the thick large book of folds, and said to Fan Ying while reading.
"The main thing is that we don't have a boat or a sailor. The minister who said that the forbidden sea said that it was the old minister's words to seek the country. Now there is no way to ban it. We have to be sailors and build big ships first. Train the soldiers before you can think about the islands. Fan Ying smiled, perhaps because he was the emperor's brother-in-law. Not even a guest, he really didn't speak so respectfully. But Jingyou likes to listen to it. It's like gossip.
"Needless to mention, I won't ban the sea no matter what, shipbuilding and water builders are also necessary, you talk about it, what do you want to do." Jingyou didn't care what Fan Ying said, what he cared about was what he did.
"Just like the three kings of the southwest, open a trade route first, and then talk about other things." Fan Ying withdrew her smile and said softly.
This is the upper study, after Liu Song left, everyone received the snacks, and Xiao Qianzi cleverly led people out, and at this time, this is an absolutely private place, and all the most confidential policies are generally formulated here, even if Fan Ying knows that no one here dares to eavesdrop, but he still can't help but lower his voice.
"How to trade, to trade with bandits, is really an enemy. They are different from the three kings of the southwest, they really form a sea channel, but they are afraid that it will be easy to open, but it will be difficult to pass. Ouyang Yi jumped up.
"Brother Ouyang, listen to Fan Ying first." Yi Gang has become more and more fond of and trusts Fan Ying over the years, and gently pressed Ouyang Yi and motioned for Fan Ying to continue.
"It's just roughly similar to the Three Kings of the Southwest, but it's also different. The three kings of the southwest are still on our Daxing land, and they are still the emperor's courtiers. When a villain goes into business, it is legitimate, and everything is reasonable and legal. But in the South China Sea Islands, the villain is the spy of the enemy country, and no matter how much he is sent, he will be robbed and emptied, and the villain himself will be locked up, and if the person has high intelligence, he will tie up the villain to threaten the emperor; Those with low intelligence directly cut off the villain's head and sent it to the emperor to show his authority. ”
Fan Ying waved her hand, and the expression was, are you so stupid? In order to get some silver, go to the loyal ministers of the previous dynasty to find death?
Jingyou also read the excerpt when he spoke, and there is a detailed charter behind, so Jingyou didn't read it, only read the general outline, and knew his general idea.
It is said that it is trade, but in fact it is more smuggling, and Fan Ying took the merchants of Fujian to sell all kinds of luxury goods except grain, wine, and salt, and dumped them there. And they are not allowed to barter goods, but only gold and silver, and they can barter and accept people. In other words, as long as they exchange slaves, then they can exchange all kinds of goods.
Just seeing this, Jingyou looked up.
"Too ruthless, isn't it?"
"Don't be ruthless, we don't want to be hurt a little, we want to be strong, we want children, and we want to be a virgin (there are so many forbidden words, what should I do) women. Then, split into different price codes in exchange for different things. We said we were buying slaves, and when we brought them back, you sent officers and soldiers to rescue them. Give them land, give them a place to live, give them the household registration of the commoners, and they will soon become your obedient people. Fan Ying chuckled.
The four ministers were silent, this was really a bit scary, even Ouyang Yi, who didn't read, couldn't say anything for a long time.
Because Fan Ying said it very well on his face, but they are all important ministers of the court, their understanding is not low, and the flowers on the surface cannot hide the blood inside.
When people become commodities, and they are worth a lot of money, then the unlucky people of the island are the unlucky ones first, and then the poor people, and then these people are caught. They would carry butcher knives and go to the nearby sea to find the villagers.
They also heard it just now, Fan Ying is in favor of the forbidden sea, and these soldiers who dare to do anything for the sake of profit will eventually be killed by their own madness.
Then the resources are limited, they can find different troops to trade, and then the people of different factions on the island will start a battle for resources, without waiting for Jingyou's sailors to train, the island will become a purgatory on earth.
"Your Majesty, this, I'm afraid it will violate the virtue of a saint." Yi Gang thought for a long time, but still stood up.
looked at Jing You deeply, and judging from his actions, he could also see the old man's heart sinking to the bottom of the well. (To be continued)
ps: I was a little nervous about writing this chapter, so Fan Ying, I felt a little unacceptable. In fact, if you think about it, no matter how you start a war, if you want to not hurt civilians, it is a lie, and everything starts with civilians. ()
