248 A hundred officials who obstruct in every way
The next day, Fei Mingzhi's official position was just a small episode, because all the officials were stunned by the sage's whimsy!
Their wise and wise emperor said that he would go to sea with the ship to uphold the prestige of the country!
Nima, isn't this a royal expedition, does the emperor need to go to sea with the ship in person? Do you need it? Do you need it?
This time, not only Cui Yuanqi, but also the two Taishan adults didn't support him anymore, with a look of "boy, what are you smoking", and only looked at him with slanted eyes.
Mu Fushu was shocked by San Lang's plan last night, and discussed it for half the night before falling asleep. San Lang decided to talk about it at today's court, Mu Fushu got up late, and Ah Zhao didn't come to the court in the morning. As a result, it was not long for the father-in-law to come to report, saying that the previous dynasty had opened the pot, and there were still ministers crying bitterly, kneeling and begging, the central idea was: Da Sui finally looked forward to a Ming monarch, and the people just had a little hope, and the saint went crazy, what can I do......
can only hope for Her Royal Highness the Empress Wencheng Wude.
Mu Fushu called his father-in-law over and handed him a roll of things, and the palace maid waited to change into formal clothes.
She had to comfort the frightened officials, to be honest, she didn't think there was anything about it, the lord of a country also wanted to travel abroad for a vacation, and it was like life and death for Mao to make such a big noise?
What she didn't know was that sea navigation in this world was basically a matter of having your head pinned to your belt, and no one would want to sail for a long time except for those who were brave or had to go to sea. Not to mention hurricanes and shipwrecks, many crew members will fall ill and die inexplicably, and often there are no ten crew members who come back from the sea.
Bangzi County, a Japanese county, is closer to the Great Sui, which is better, and India is not very far away, and the exchanges between the two countries were mostly dry roads before. I'm afraid I'm afraid of being on the sea, there are no charts. There was no direction in the sea, and they all agreed that the new emperor was dying.
By the time Mu Fushu arrived, the previous dynasty had already gone from preventing the emperor from going to sea to establishing the crown prince.
In fact, these people are also angry in their hearts, a good emperor should not suddenly go to sea, if you want to die and still don't listen to persuasion, that's okay, anyway, you have a son to stay. simply set up a prince. Your Majesty, Emperor, just do whatever you want! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is assisted by loyal ministers, and he is a good emperor eighteen years later......
When Mu Fushu entered the hall, it was too noisy, and no one heard the chant of "The Queen has arrived". Until Mu Fushu walked up to Dan Majesty. The sharp-eyed people saw it and reminded the people around them loudly, and everyone gradually quieted down and saluted. The anxious one wiped his tears from the tears at Mu Fushu, and told her about the emperor's various unreliable ......
Mu Fu Shu raised his hand. The sound below faded off.
"What Aiqing said is very true, what the saint said, and the palace didn't agree to it at the beginning." Mu Fushu spoke slowly.
After listening to the first half of the sentence, it was okay, but the second half of the sentence made everyone's hearts rise again. Not at first. That was later, or did you agree?
Also, if the queen doesn't agree, will the saint dare to mention it?
Therefore, in the minds of everyone, His Majesty the Emperor is absolutely afraid of the inside......
"What do you think of bicycles?" Mu Fushu suddenly changed the topic.
Everyone was stunned. Chen Wenfeng, the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, took the lead in speaking: "Excellent, very convenient for the people." ”
Mu Fushu smiled and nodded: "Chen Shilang is in the Ministry of Works. I know the most about the new appliances made by the Ministry of Industry that benefit the country and the people, but we don't have all the materials needed to make those objects. ”
Mu Fushu's plan is very good, she does not plan to develop all the minerals in Dasui at present, she will first "import" them from other countries cheaply, and then use their own ones when they are finished, and then they can sell them back at a high price.
Chen Wenfeng is in the Ministry of Industry, so he naturally knows that the Ministry of Industry has recently obtained a lot of strange object drawings, which are currently being manufactured, so he nodded when he heard the words and said that this was true.
Cui Yuanqi and Yang Weng are in the Ministry of Rites and the other in the Ministry of Officials, but they all know about the construction of big ships in Yuyang Port, and Cui Chongyu knows even more, because the soldiers guarding the shipyard were transferred from him.
Chen Wenfeng didn't speak, and Cui Yuanqi, Yang Weng, and Cui Chongyu also shut up. Zhou Boduan, the head of the household department, said tremblingly: "Your Highness is ...... Treasury...... The treasury is still able to support ......"
The treasury can indeed support it, not to mention the money and materials that are "tributed", but the money from the bidding for the prescription taken out by Mu Fushu is worth the tax revenue of the Great Sui for three years.
Zhou Boduan is a household servant, and he knows best whether the treasury has money or not, and now he is so confident in front of the emperor and queen, which shows that the treasury is really rich.
The officials put their minds at ease, it's a good thing that the treasury is rich, since you have money, don't toss it, saint!
Mu Fushu retorted with a smile: "The treasury has money, and that is our Dasui money." The saints and the shrine were thinking about how to put the money and goods of other countries into our pockets. ”
After a pause, she looked at some officials whose faces changed slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, this palace is not going to war, it's just bartering." ”
Barter?
Bartering, as the name suggests, refers to exchanging one's own existing goods with others in exchange for other people's goods, which is an early form of trading, and human beings have already understood how to barter before human beings use money to buy and sell. Bartering is different from buying and selling in that it does not use any money as a means of exchange, so bartering is not necessarily an equivalent exchange.
Mu Fushu motioned for Father-in-law Xi to open the map she brought.
This is a map of the world, of course, copied, clearly marking the five continents, the four oceans, and the current territory of the Great Sui.
At this time, the territory of the Great Sui was very broad, from the coast of the Arctic Ocean in the north, to the South China Sea in the south, to Tibet and Yunnan in the southwest, to the eastern part of Xinjiang and Central Siberia in the northwest, to the Trans-Khingan Mountains (including Sakhalin Island) and the Sea of Okhotsk in the northeast, and also to most of Eastern Siberia, Central Siberia, to the Bering Sea, Sikkim, Bhutan, Sakhalin Island in the east, the eastern half of Kashmir, Southeast Asia, India, Japan, and Korea. In addition, there were several vassal states, such as the Nam Zhao tribes (Laos) and Chenla (Vietnam, Burma).
The Great Sui on the map is about 16 million square kilometers.
As the map unfolded, even Cui Chongyu couldn't help but take a few steps forward to take a closer look. He was accustomed to marching and fighting, and knew the map very well, and now when he saw this unique map marking the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, he had an indescribable heroic feeling.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, it is our Great Sui territory that depicts Phnom Penh." Mu Fushu glanced at San Lang, who had been silent since she came in.
San Lang breathed a sigh of relief, took Mu Fushu's words and said, "Although the Phnom Penh belongs to the territory of the Great Sui, we can't control one-third of it well. Many places have 'heads' or 'leaders' recognized by the local people themselves, and these places still rely on Zhong Aiqing to recover, and the red border is a vassal country, but it has been out of control for so many years, and there is no contact with the Great Sui, and there are even disturbing the border from time to time. ”
Speaking of disturbing the border, everyone couldn't help but think of the Turkic people who had almost been wiped out, and couldn't help but feel a little chill in their necks.
Saburo seemed to be aware of it, and his slender hands were raised, and he tapped on the table: "Troubled times use heavy codes, and the Turks are examples." Now that the Great Sui Kingdom is peaceful and peaceful, I don't want to make a big move. ”
Baiguan breathed a sigh of relief, if you want to talk about war, everyone is really afraid. In the past, the people were not able to make a living, and the war was also to quell the civil strife, but now the people are finally living and working in peace and contentment, and the saint can not take his brain out to attack other countries......
"But—" Saburo dragged out his voice, and the eyes of the people below were wide-eyed, their hearts were racing, and the older ones were about to cry - without such a big pant...... The emperor is really afraid of such a mysterious hanging appetite......
"I am a big Sui country, but it happened to be a bad year, and it happened to be a short-sighted usurpation and civil strife for several years, and now the Yang clan is back in power, but those vassal countries don't take us seriously, is this looking down on my Great Sui or looking down on my Yang?"
What the Emperor said about it, how did you answer that we should be courtiers? It's wrong to look down on anyone......
The officials are messy, what does the saint want to say?
"I built more than a dozen large ships in Yuyang, and they all set up artillery on them."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
"Look, look, I'll just say that the saint is a terrible war maniac...... "This is the inner monologue of the timid civil official......
"Finally showing the violent side, after all, we still have to fight...... this year's newly promoted tribute warrior's inner monologue......
"It's not fun to fight at all, Lao Tzu wants to go back to the countryside to marry a daughter-in-law to feed and feed......" This is the inner monologue of the military department......
No matter what they thought, Saburo said slowly: "I said as early as the post-sealing ceremony that those vassal states and vassal states that are busy with government affairs and can't spare time to congratulate the empress, I will personally return to visit. Bringing artillery is for fear of encountering bandits, and if a gentleman does not stand under the wall, I also have to defend myself......"
Mu Fushu couldn't help it, and secretly glanced at him, you can't be so shameless as an emperor! Do you understand?
Everyone who was shocked by the emperor's brazenness was speechless, and Cui Yuanqi carefully considered a few words: "The saint is so particular about courtesy and exchanges, showing my great Sui momentum, it is really a good thing, but the sea navigation is not safe after all, and the ship is too slow, according to the map, the recent Nanzhao is afraid that it will take several months, the variables are too great, the saint thinks twice!" ”
"Please think twice!" Everyone knelt down and unanimously said that you don't make trouble, saint, you can send someone to be your representative!
The old god of San Lang is here: "Yuyang's newly built big ship can travel thousands of miles a day." ”
"What?" Everyone thought they were deaf, or they were hallucinating, and they traveled thousands of miles a day, which was the legendary Maxima, what ship could be so fast?
Even Yang Weng was shocked, with a distorted smile on his face: "Did the sage say something wrong?" It's a thousand miles in a month, right? ”
Saburo repeated very calmly: "A thousand miles a day!" ”
These blew up the hornet's nest, and Cui Yuanqi said angrily: "Emperor, even if the ministers do everything to prevent you from going to sea, it is for your safety, why should the emperor take a thousand miles a day to fool his subordinates!" ”
Mu Fushu and his grandfather were angry, and hurriedly said loudly: "It's not a joke, it's true, uh......" She said embarrassedly: "If the steam engine test is successful, it can indeed travel thousands of miles a day." (To be continued) R580
