At this time, Li Dongyang hesitated:

"Senior brother, what you said is indeed very reasonable. However, if all the craftsmen who can build treasure ships and their families are really given to the Equestrian Lord, Dongyang may be scolded by the people of the world. After all, that's sending tens of thousands of people! ”

Li Dongyang's personality is already a little indecisive, and it is no problem to send tens of thousands of shipbuilders to Ma Lin. However, as the first assistant, if he contributed to this matter, it would be ironclad to be scolded by the world. For Confucian officials, the most unbearable thing is to be pointed out by Qianfu.

"Alas, Binzhi...... You ...... temperament," Liu Daxia shook his head.

Liu Daxia and Li Dongyang are two completely different types of people, Li Dongyang is timid and indecisive. And Liu Daxia is bold. At the beginning, Emperor Chenghua wanted to engage in great navigation, but as a result, Liu Daxia was just a chauffeur at the beginning, equivalent to a director. Emperor Chenghua wanted to find Zheng He's nautical charts to rebuild the treasure ship to sail, and then Liu Daxia, who was just a division chief, ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and directly burned the treasure ship drawings and navigation charts. And the strange thing is that because of this incident, Liu Daxia was not only unlucky, but was valued by hundreds of officials and became a model for Qingliu officials.

Of course, Liu Daxia actually did nothing wrong. Because, during the Chenghua period, the Ming Dynasty's finances were not rich, and even some were overstretched. If Emperor Chenghua really spent a lot of money to build treasure ships and go to the Western Ocean, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty's finances would collapse.

Because of this, Emperor Chenghua did not delve into the matter in the end, and the hundred officials also unanimously praised Liu Daxia's courage and uprightness.

However, it is also said that Liu Daxia only hid the treasure ship drawings and navigation charts. However, since then, there has been no record of treasure ships in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Liu Daxia really burned the drawings or not, because whether he burned them or not, there was no more.

(There is also a theory that the nautical charts and treasure ship drawings were burned in the Qianlong period.) After Qianlong asked people to "edit" the deleted and tampered version of the "Siku Quanshu", he burned all the historical documents of the Ming Dynasty, leaving a historical problem that was difficult to solve for future generations. ）

It can be seen from this that Liu Daxia is a bold and radical official, and he is not the same kind of person as Li Dongyang. As for Li Dongyang's hesitation, Liu Daxia was angry at the same time, but he also helped to think of a solution-

"What Bin Zhi said is also very reasonable, if it is really given to tens of thousands of people at one time, it is true that no one in the world will agree......"

"In this way, for the first time, we will give 1,000 shipbuilders and their families to the master of the country, and directly empty the craftsmen of Nanjing Longjiang Bao Shipyard."

"As for the remaining craftsmen from shipyards other than Longjiang Treasure Shipyard who participated in the manufacture of treasure ships at the beginning, Bin Zhi and Ying Ning, you sent your disciples to the provinces south of the Yangtze River as officials. Then, send someone to find out. All the shipbuilders who inherited their father's experience in making treasure ships were all proposed and sent to the lord of Equestria in batches......"

"But for what reason will it be given to the Equestrian Lord?" Li Dongyang asked.

Liu Daxia thought for a while and said:

In this way, the imperial court rewarded 1,000 shipbuilders to the lord of the horse country. However, Binzhi has the idea of getting an order to allow the owner of the horse country to recruit shipbuilders on his own in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is just a cover. Those shipbuilders will not be recruited by Nafanyi voluntarily, so the disciples we sent out, after becoming officials in Jiangnan, can coax those craftsmen to say that the imperial court has an order to go to Dongfan Island to assist Dongfan Xuanwei Division in building ships. Then, send their whole family to Ningbo or Fuzhou, and load them on a ship for the owner of Malaysia to transport away......"

"This ...... Isn't this deception? Li Dongyang was a little dumbfounded.

"No, Binzhi, we are here for the Ming Dynasty. If you reopen the Western Ocean, do you think there is still money and grain left in the treasury? Although the means are not very fair, but we are for the good of the Ming Dynasty, although there are flaws, we are all for the country and the people! Liu Daxia said impassionedly.

At this time, Yang Yiqing also stood on Liu Daxia's side and persuaded Li Dongyang together. Yang Yiqing dared to take down Liu Jin, and he was also a bold and ruthless man. He agreed with Liu Daxia's plan, so he worked with Liu Daxia to persuade the indecisive Li Dongyang......

Finally, Li Dongyang sighed-

"That's it, for the sake of the court, for the sake of the people of the world, Dongyang will do an evil thing to deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates!"

……

After the three of them reached an agreement, they all connected with the Minister of Qingliu. And the ministers of Qingliu also agreed with Liu Daxia's suggestion, believing that this move would benefit the country and the people.

Then, a few days later, the ministers unanimously agreed to the decision to reward the artisan to Marin. Moreover, the ministers have always decided to send all the thousands of resident shipbuilders of the Nanjing Longjiang Treasure Shipyard (when the treasure ship is really built, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will send craftsmen to support and carry out the "general battle") to Ma Lin......

Emperor Zhengde was a little hesitant, originally he wanted to leave a group of backbones of Longjiang Bao Shipyard for the future. But the ministers said one after another - the lord of the Marin Horse Kingdom sent such a high yield of divine food per mu, I am a state of etiquette, and I can't be ungrateful. Therefore, only by giving the craftsmen of the entire Longjiang Bao Shipyard to each other can we express the sincerity of the Ming Dynasty......

Zhengde now has Liu Jin's fast knife, and Zhang Yong and others are useless. Therefore, Zhengde can only lose......

At the same time, the cabinet also issued an order to allow Marin to recruit craftsmen in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court will also provide some convenience......

Marin almost died of joy when he heard this order......

Why? Because this order says "allow Marin to recruit craftsmen in the territory of the Ming Dynasty", not only the recruitment of shipbuilders.

In the future, as long as Marin means are in place and bribes are in place, in addition to shipbuilders, other craftsmen can also be recruited. Especially, the porcelain craftsmen of the official kiln, that is the real master! If he could make porcelain, Marin would have gotten a money printing press in the future......

Moreover, Ma Lin clearly remembered that on the west side of the Taipei Basin on Taiwan Island in the later world, near the junction of New Taipei City and Taoyuan, there was an area called Yingge, which was a famous ceramic production area. In other words, there is porcelain clay over there.

As long as Malincoln spends a lot of money and digs up a few master craftsmen of porcelain in Jingdezhen, he can build a ceramic base on Taiwan Island. Then, it is difficult to make money without making a modern ceramic like horse bone china, which is not even in the Ming Dynasty......

After receiving the will of the imperial court, Ma Lin, whose eyes were full of small money, was so excited that he could only say the words "Thank you to the lord Longen......

In fact, Li Dongyang and others couldn't do anything, because they couldn't clearly say that "Ma Lin is allowed to recruit shipbuilders in the Ming Dynasty". Otherwise, with Zhengde's cleverness, he must have guessed that this was the courtiers targeting him. With the strong temper of a bear child, it may be counterproductive.

Therefore, the ministers deliberated and simply omitted the term "shipbuilder" to "craftsman". Moreover, the ministers believed that the craftsmen were under the control of the hundred officials, and even if Marin wanted to recruit, he had to agree to the hundred officials.

However, they forgot that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were very corrupt. And Marin is very good at smashing people to death with money...... Therefore, they also dig a pit to bury themselves. However, Confucian officials did not look down on craftsmen in the first place, and even if a large number of craftsmen were poached, it is estimated that they would not feel distressed......

……

Later, when Li Dongyang found Ma Lin privately and expressed his willingness to cooperate privately and give him all the craftsmen who could build treasure ships, Ma Lin was so excited that he couldn't sleep for two consecutive nights......

The pie fell from the sky and knocked Marin unconscious......

When he heard that this was the idea of Liu Daxia, one of the "Outstanding Virtuous Ministers of the Ming Dynasty" and "One of the Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi", he was a little unhappy at first because of the soul of Huaxia. But thinking of the benefits that this move brought to himself, Ma Lin was instantly overjoyed, and couldn't help but want to shout - Liu Daxia, I love you to death! I thank you for eight generations of ancestors!

This is a shocking leak! With the thousands of shipbuilders of ancestral craftsmanship provided by the "Ming loyalty", the speed of Marin's shipbuilding must have been greatly accelerated. And with that license to recruit artisans full of loopholes, Marin has a chance to get more artisans from other trades......
