Listening to Gao Yuan's words, He Weiyuan played with it in his heart for a moment, and said: "But the king, if the Li family's long-distance fleet is allowed to be so crowded out and annex other maritime merchants, in the long run, the Han shipping and overseas trade will inevitably be in the hands of one family, and it will not be good for the country. ”

Gao Yuan nodded: "You really got to the point, Wu's liquor industry is also a giant among the Han merchants, but the wine thing, in addition to taxes, in the country and the people, the impact is not particularly large, Wu Yizheng is also very conscious, although he has a huge amount of money, but he never mixes, and participates in other industries, such as shipping, ordnance, minerals, etc., this is the maturity of Wu Yizheng, but maritime trade is related to the overseas expansion of our Han Dynasty, trade, and the strength of the sailors, this is different, Li Can's pattern is still a little smaller, and he really has to beat it. ”

"It turns out that the king has already made up his mind!" He Weiyuan said with a smile.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, and stopped making a sound, in fact, one of the parliamentarians who was ready to jump out to impeach Li Can today was instructed by Cao Tianci, and he had detailed evidence of the actions of the Li fleet, of course, this matter was not enough for outsiders, and even his own personal guard commander did not know about it at all.

With the voyage of Kou Shuguang's naval fleet for many years, more private capital joined, not only brought back a lot of wealth from overseas, but also brought back a lot of domestic shipbuilding industry booming, larger ships have entered the final experimental stage in the shipyard in Cangzhou and Fenzhou, Kou Shuguang has ambitiously prepared to implement a longer voyage, for the Han to seize more territory, greater wealth.

After several years of voyages, the broadening of his horizons was far beyond that of these ministers in the country, because Gao Yuan secretly summoned him and gave him a unique gift, a globe made by Gao Yuan himself. He thought he had reached the end of the world, but now he realized that he had only reached a corner of the world.

"King, I will lay down a powerful kingdom for you on which the sun never sets!" Kneeling in front of Takato, he swore an oath.

Gao Yuan's true thoughts in his heart are exactly like this, his greatest wish is to plant the banner of the Great Han in every corner of this world, and to realize this ideal, a powerful and incomparable sailor is naturally indispensable. But for now, his main target is still at home. Without destroying all the enemies in the Central Plains and building such a powerful and incomparable empire, this goal will never be achieved.

Now, it is still only in the stage of exploration and experimentation, and the lack of national strength makes Gao Yuan have to rely on private capital, with the country as the main and the people as the supplement. The use of wealth as a bait prompted merchants with large amounts of capital in the country to join in this voyage adventure.

Li Can's Li clan has an innate advantage over the voyage, and Kou Shuguang's sailor had to rely on the power of the Li clan at the beginning. But now, Lee's fleet has crossed the line a bit. Gao Yuan hopes that the people will have a large fleet and train more excellent sailors, but it does not mean that in the future, there will be a family of sailors on the water that can compete with the country's sailors.

Diversified. It is in the overall national interests of the Han to contain each other's forces, which is also the reason why Gao Yuan wants to beat Li Can.

"King, the questioning begins!" Seeing Gao Yuan, he was a little out of the world. He Weiyuan, who was behind him, reminded in a low voice.

Gao Yuan came back to his senses, retracted his thoughts, and looked down, Jiang Jiaquan's overall work report had ended, and now it was the turn of the ministers to come to the stage and accept the questions of the senior parliamentarians.

The time spent by Ye Chong of the Ministry of National Defense was extremely short, it was the season to use troops, and the army of the Han Dynasty had always been respected by all walks of life, and after Ye Chong's report, only one congressman complained about the transfer of a large number of local guards from the Third Military Region away from his hometown.

Cao Tianci, the police minister, said that he would supervise the preparatory work for the establishment of police stations in various localities as soon as possible, and strive to complete all the preparatory work within this year so that the work can get on the right track. The other is the flow of funds of the National Security Bureau, the expenditure of the National Security Bureau is huge, and most of the funds are not publicly used, for such an inquiry, Cao Tianci was unceremoniously, coldly told the questioning parliamentarian, if you want to know the use of these funds, you can first submit a written report to the political affairs hall, after the approval of the political affairs hall, and then submit it to the king for approval, you can inquire, as soon as this answer came out, the parliamentarian was immediately deflated, sat down wilted, and said nothing.

Wang Wuchang of the Ministry of Finance, the famous iron rooster, is in charge of the Ministry of Finance, and most of the attacks on him come from remote prefectures and counties, believing that Wang Wuyan's ineffective support for the state assistance plan has made the rich and the poor in the counties of the Han Dynasty poorer, and demanded that the support for poor prefectures and counties be increased in the next year.

When it was the turn of the Ministry of Industry, because of Guo Quan's absence, Wu Kai, who was in charge of the Ministry of Industry, could only come to power and accept the questions of the parliamentarians. These questioning congressmen obviously came prepared, and there were all kinds of suffocation in the bidding and sale of demolition, compensation, replacement, and newly vacated land, and there was evidence to point out the greasy behavior of some senior officials of the Ministry of Industry in the construction of Jicheng.

Wu Qi was sweating, he was usually only in charge of one general direction, but the general affairs of the giant body were managed by the two waiters of the Ministry of Works, and at this time he was facing one more acute problem than the other, and he was clumsy and exhausted.

"It looks like the problem of the Ministry of Industry is not small!" Gao Yuan frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, the construction of the new city is equivalent to more than doubling the expansion of the old Jicheng, such a large project, it is natural for some problems to arise, some profiteers are afraid that they are pervasive, of course, some officials of the Ministry of Industry are only afraid that they will also be dragged into the water, this time it seems that Wu Yizheng is a little difficult to pass." He Wei said from afar.

"Guo Quan has not been in Jicheng, and he is a little presumptuous below, but even if Guo Quan is in Jicheng, I am afraid that he will not be able to figure out these things here, and maybe he will be a little bit around, as far as Guo Quan's temperament is concerned, he may not know if he falls into the pit at all, he has been outside, but it is also a good thing, is this considered wise and stupid?" Gao Yuan looked back at He Weiyuan.

He Weiyuan laughed suddenly, "From the perspective of his subordinates, Guo Shangshu is not wise and foolish, but he is simply a working life, if he really wants to sit in the lobby and give instructions all day long, I am afraid that it will suffocate him, Guo Shangshu knows what he can do and what he can't do, this is his preciousness." ”

"Guo Quan is old, he has been running around for a long time, and his body has long been overdrawn, some time ago he said that the east and west arteries are about to be connected, and he has been doing this project for more than two years, so let him finish this thing, and then call him back to Jicheng, let him rest for a long time!" Gao Yuan touched his chin and said, "Even if it's an old cow, it's time to enjoy it." ”

"This is the king's compassion for his subordinates, another person, a hard-working cadre like Guo Shangshu, so he is willing to recall him back?" He Wei said from afar.

"Guo Quan has also brought out a lot of people over the years, the last time I heard from God, several officials of the Ministry of Industry who have been with him are not only skilled, but also have a distinct Guo Quan brand on their bodies, the prototype of a new generation of old cattle has come out, Lao Guo has retired, and those few can be reused." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"If Guo Shangshu retires, it stands to reason that it should be Lord Chen Tao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, who takes over!"

Gao Yuan pointed to the surging venue below: "Chen Tao presides over the daily work of the Ministry of Industry, just looking at the following situation, there are many problems here, it is not a question of whether he can take over the Ministry of Industry, but a question of whether he can get out of the whole body." Hmph, after the Great Council, I am afraid that the Procuratorate will start investigating corruption and dereliction of duty in the expansion of Jicheng. ”

He Weiyuan's heart sank, the king's fluttering words represented that many people wanted to lose their official hats and heads, and the punishment for corruption in the Han Dynasty was extremely severe.

Knock knock, the door of the box was suddenly knocked, He Weiyuan turned around, opened a crack in the door, and looked at the people outside, I couldn't help but be surprised, it turned out to be Yi Bin, the deputy director of the National Security Bureau, looking at the anxious look on his face, He Weiyuan also raised his heart all of a sudden, the people of the National Security Bureau have always been very deep in the city, and rarely appear such a look, could it be that something happened to Jinyang?

"Wang, Deputy Director Yi is here." He Weiyuan turned around and said.

"Let him in!" Gao Yuan was holding a teacup in one hand, sipping fragrant tea, while admiring with great interest the angry Wu Kai below and a group of big parliamentarians fighting a lawsuit.

"King, the National Security Bureau has just received a letter from the Liaoxi County Branch, and Lord Guo Quanguo, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has passed away!" Yi Bin stepped into the door and lowered his hand to Gao Yuanyu and reported: "The report of Zheng Jun, the guard of Liaoxi County, should arrive in Jicheng soon. ”

With a snap, the teacup in Gao Yuan's hand fell to the ground and shattered, with a look of surprise written on his face.

"King!" He Weiyuan took a step forward.

The astonishment gradually turned into a color of regret, Gao Yuan supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, seemed to use a lot of force to stand up, paused slightly, took a step forward, stretched out his hand to open the bead curtain, stepped out, and stood on the terrace of the box.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Great Council, the fierce quarrel came to an abrupt end, and everyone turned their heads to look at the king who appeared on the second floor. Every time there is an inquiry, the king will be in the box on the second floor, which is something that everyone knows, but the king has never shown up and never expressed his opinion, but today, something surprising happened to everyone. Wu Kai felt that he was even more full of baggage, and it seemed that he had passed this level.

"The Great Council is temporarily adjourned." Gao Yuan looked at the people in the lobby expressionlessly. "The Ministry of Works, the secretary of Guo Quan, and the old man Guo passed away in office." (To be continued......)
