"Please forgive your majesty, there is nothing you can do about this matter. However, the sea is windy and rough, and the ship is smaller, even if it can go to sea, it cannot sail too far. ”

Hearing this result, Li Ye was a little disappointed, but he also knew that he was thinking too far.

But Jiangnan and the sea, he will definitely go back.

Just as Li Ye was carefully observing the unfinished warship, Xiao Rong, who had received the notice, hurried over with a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry.

"Excuse me! Xiao Aiqing, such a warship needs to be ten thousand? ”

It stands to reason that things like warships should be assigned to the Ordnance Superintendent, but the Ordnance Superintendent does not have this strength, so it can only be temporarily taken care of by the Ministry of Industry.

Xiao Rong thought that Li Ye felt that there was corruption in it, and he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly explained, "Back to Your Majesty, the main reason is that the Ministry of Industry has been abandoned for shipbuilding for a long time, the river transportation near Chang'an is withered, and the Ningchuan is a new warship, and the craftsman technology is not familiar, so the cost of construction is higher."

After the technology is skilled, the consumption should drop a lot, and I hope that Your Majesty will see it. ”

The Ministry of Engineering is in charge of the system of civil construction, the use of utensils, the method of ditch weir dredging, and the mausoleum for 100 million. All civil and water conservancy projects, machine manufacturing projects (excluding weapons, munitions, military utensils, etc.), mining, metallurgy, textiles and other government-run industries are all taken care of.

Although the Ministry of Industry Shangshu is not as powerful as the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in the six Shangshu, the oil and water are relatively rich.

How can there be an official who is not corrupt, and this has been the case in all dynasties and dynasties in later generations. Even in the so-called democratic, liberal European and American countries, those parliamentarians are all supported by capitalists, but in a different way, the essence is the same.

Even if Li Ye set up the Jinyi Guard, took charge of intelligence and supervised hundreds of officials, it would be impossible to put an end to corruption.

The Ministry of Industry is also the department in charge of so many engineering construction, and Li Ye knows how much oil and water there is. As long as he can pass the review of the household department, if there is no major incident and no one complains, Li Ye will not be able to pursue it on a large scale.

There is a big meaning, 'the people do not lift, the officials do not investigate', this is right or wrong, everyone's opinion is different.

"Xiao Aiqing, don't be so nervous, I'm not here to hold you accountable today. I have only one request, to get this new ship built and put into use as soon as possible. Li Ye smiled and reassured.

Xiao Rong breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly promised, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has been staring at the construction of the Ning ship, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake." ”

"You should keep an eye on the matter of the Ning ship, and when the time is ripe, the construction of the Ning ship will be handed over to the ordnance supervisor. Originally, the ordnance superintendent should have been in charge of this matter, but the ordnance superintendent had no experience, so he could only let the Ministry of Industry take charge for the time being. ”

Li Ye's words made Xiao Rong and the others feel a little bitter in their hearts, but they didn't expect to make wedding dresses for the ordnance supervisor in the end.

Most people didn't expect it, but Xiao Rong had some guesses.

Strictly speaking, the warship was originally under the responsibility of the Ordnance Superintendent, but the Ordnance Superintendent did not have a ship department, and the current formation was a bit hasty, how could it be like the Ministry of Industry, which could start construction in a short time.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"If Ning Chuan finally meets my requirements, everyone present will be rewarded, whether it is a court official or a craftsman."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Ye knew that it would be uncomfortable for the Ministry of Industry to hand over the construction of the Ning ship to the Ordnance Supervision Commission, so he could only compensate in terms of rewards.

The vicinity of Chang'an is not suitable for shipbuilding, especially large ships.

At present, the best place is still the best in Gangneung, even if a large ship can sail, it is naturally no problem to build a large ship of ten thousand materials, but there is no technology.

In fact, the places in Li Yexiang's favor are still in the Jiangnan region, such as Jinling, Runzhou (i.e., Zhenjiang), Yangzhou and Hangzhou, which are very suitable for building river boats and sea boats.

Li Ye will definitely let Datang go to the ocean, it is definitely impossible to close the country, and going to the ocean means expanding externally.

To be honest, there are really few powerful countries around Datang at this time, not counting internal feudal towns.

The Khitan to the northeast is a big threat, followed by several countries on the Korean Peninsula and Japan to the east;

The threat to the west was mainly the Uighurs, followed by the Tibetans;

There is only one Nanzhao in the south, and the others are not to be feared.

However, at this time, in the Jiangnan region, the imperial court had no control at all.

Therefore, Li Ye's idea of expansion is currently only in words.

。。。。。。

"Father, this is the third time that Shi Ling has sent someone to urge his father to take office, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid General Shi will use force directly. General Shi is not the same, as the general of the forbidden army, and the help of the right Yulin army, if we refuse to obey the edict, it is just an excuse to give Shi Ling. ”

Langzhou, Langzhou Thorn Shi Lei Man is considering whether to go to Gangneung to take up a post.

The imperial court appointed him to the post of general of the Right Shenwei Army, although the general of the forbidden army was a member of the Sanpin, which was equivalent to the Shangzhou Assassin History, and was higher in rank than the Langzhou Assassin History.

However, Lei Man did not want to go, because his roots were in Langzhou and Lizhou, especially Langzhou.

When he went to Jiangling, he was very worried that the imperial court would do something to him, after all, there was an example of Cheng Wei in front of him, so he couldn't be careless.

"What do you know? What if the court does something to the father? Who knows if this general of the Right Shenwei Army is a conspiracy? Lei Man retorted.

Don't say it, don't look at Lei Man as brutal and unkind, but he still has a bit of brains.

Shi Ling really planned to do so, he thought about transferring Lei Man to Jiangling first, so that it would be easier to control, and then find a way to divide and disintegrate Lei Man's subordinates in Langzhou and Lizhou, and then find a way to get rid of Lei Man, and then take back the two states.

Of course, this method was not come up with by Shi Ling, but by Pan Zhang.

Since he has become Jingnan's marching Sima, considering things must be from the perspective of the imperial court.

If he can get rid of Lei Man, it will definitely be a great achievement, and it will definitely be of great help to his career.

And he also knows Lei Man, so he naturally knows how to deal with him.

"Father, you have a meritorious role in pacifying Chengwei, how can the imperial court cross the river and tear down the bridge, if so, who dares to do things for the imperial court? Moreover, the imperial court did not deprive his father of his power in the two states of Lilang.

On the other hand, if my father went to the general, he could take the opportunity to penetrate our forces deep into Jiangling, and if the time was ripe, he might not be able to take Jiangling and even Jingnan as his own.

Could it be that my father is satisfied with the two states of Lilang? ”

The reason why Lei Yangong is so active in wanting his father to take up his post as a general is mainly because he is the new Langzhou assassin.

If his father doesn't leave, how can he exercise the power of Langzhou Assassin?

And he didn't think that the imperial court would risk the world's condemnation to do something to his father, so he was naturally very active.

"No, this matter has to be considered carefully for the father, and it can't be so hasty."

Lei Man, who was very suspicious, obviously did not make a decision immediately because of the persuasion of his eldest son.
