God bless me!

Almost after Sukh Saha said those words of his. Such a sentence came to Fu Lin's heart.

For the Qing Dynasty court, which has been worried about the grain supply after the grain in Jiangnan was cut off, it is naturally a great thing that there is grain now.

Isn't this God bless me!

Even when this thought came to mind, Fu Lin felt that it was the blessing of the ancestors. This shows that the qi number of the Great Qing Dynasty is still there. Sometimes even a glimmer of hope can be exciting for people in desperate situations.

Although in Fu Lin's view, the Qing Kingdom has not yet reached that point. But such good news is indeed extremely rare, after all, he has hardly heard of any good news since last year.

"Isn't it God bless me in the Qing Dynasty, that Nanyang has been rich in rice since ancient times, if you buy foreign rice, I am afraid that you will not be able to take four or five million stones every year in dozens of countries in Nanyang!"

Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, Suke Saha immediately followed, and as soon as he said this, Fu Lin naturally nodded again and again.

"Sukh Saha, if that's the case, you can make a great contribution to my Great Qing!"

Fulin, who was in a good mood, looked at Sukh Saha and praised. There has been too little such good news recently. If you can hear such good news, it will not be a chore to come and review the folds or something.

"This is all the credit of the master, if it wasn't for the master's recruitment of the Jin family into the Internal Affairs Office, how could the Jin family be willing to take the initiative to share worries for the country, especially Jin Wenbo, who is thousands of miles away to Guangdong to share worries for the country."

Suke Saha didn't take all the credit on him, it doesn't matter whether the slave works or not, the most important thing is to make the master happy, of course, he has not forgotten the people of the Jin family, and he has not forgotten Jin Wenbo. I didn't forget to say a word or two for him.

Looking at Sukh Saha with a smug fear, Sonny said seemingly unintentionally while echoing the voice.

"This Nanyang rice is far away in the South Seas, if you want to transport rice to Beijing, I'm afraid you have to build a sea ship, and come to Beijing by sea.

For Sony, he naturally wouldn't let Sukh Saha be so proud, and almost immediately began to provoke Sukh Saha's troubles.

"Lord Suo was surprised by this."

Suke Saha, who was already in his chest, naturally said triumphantly.

"There are still tens of thousands of Cao Gang in Tongzhou and other places, and now most of them are unemployed at home because of the Cao grain, all of which are difficult to make a living.

After dragging on for so many days, Sukh Saha has repeatedly pondered in his heart how others will refute him, and naturally he has already had a countermeasure to this.

"Cao Gang? There are all the thieves in the Qingjiang Cao Gang, how can the people of the Cao Gang believe it? If after he goes to sea, he drives a ship and follows the thief, what can I do? I'm afraid I can only watch it descend to the thief! ”

Sony immediately said the biggest problem of those people,

"Your Majesty, the reason why Qinghe County was easily taken away by those pirates was at the beginning. It was because the local Cao Gang surrendered the thieves and cooperated with the pirates that they easily seized the Qinghe River and occupied Jiangbei. Among these Cao Gangs, many of them are Cao soldiers from the previous dynasty! ”

As soon as Sony's words fell, Sukh Saha immediately retorted.

"Lord Suo's words are wrong, this Cao Gang is not the Cao Gang, the sea ship is on the sea, not in Tongzhou, his family members are in Tongzhou, the people of the Cao Gang, even if they are on the sea, how dare they surrender to thieves?"

When Sony and Sukh Saha answered correctly in every word, compared to Sony, Sukh Saha can be said to have been in the chest for a long time, after all, these problems have been fully considered by Jin Wenbo before, and they are not a problem at all, otherwise, how could Sukh Saha take the liberty to mention this matter.

"Where's the ship?"

Seeing that Sukh Saha saw that the answer was good, Sonny immediately retorted.

"That sea ship is naturally different from a sea boat, no, how can a sea ship transport grain?"

Sony's objection made Suke Saha sneer a few times in his heart, but said quietly on his face.

"Ships can be built in Manchuria, there are so many giant trees in the sky on the banks of the Yalu River, you can cut down wood and build ships nearby, after the ship is built, directly to the South Seas to transport rice, and then sail to Huanggu, the sea ships transport a lot of grain, each sea ship can transport rice no less than 10,000 stones, or even tens of thousands of stones, far more than the Cao boat can be compared, if you build dozens of large sea ships in Manchuria nearby, it can meet the needs of transporting rice in the South Seas, and can transport rice no less than millions of stones every year."

Before coming here, he had already thought of countermeasures with Jin Wenbo on the problems that he might encounter. Shipbuilding in Manchuria was a method that Jin Wenbo came up with.

It's not like no one thought that way in the past. It's just that at that time, no one in the Qing Dynasty could make a boat, but now it is different, there are many people in the Cao Gang here who have no food and clothing because of the lack of food, and they are all good at making boats.

Of course, whether it's Sukh Saha or Sony. None of them knew that sailing on a canal was fundamentally different from sailing on the sea. But since you don't know, Sony naturally can't refute it. And Sukh Saha, of course, will not say this problem, in his opinion, as long as the emperor agrees now, in the future, this problem will not be a problem. Naturally, there will be time to train sailors.

And Sukh Saha's heart can be said to be extremely proud at this time, he knows that now that he has successfully moved the emperor's heart, he doesn't even need to look up at the emperor.

Millions of stone grains every year can fully meet the consumption of the capital. This is the biggest problem facing the imperial court now.

"Besides, with these sea ships, the army of other countries can also go south from the sea, go straight to the pirates' nest, and cut off their return route by sea, so that the southeast will be pacified from now on!"

When Sukh Saha triumphantly said such a reason, Sonny looked at his smug appearance, secretly disgusted in his heart, and sneered.

"What Lord Su said is true, but don't forget, now on the southeast coast, pirates are infested, and the pirates rely on it is they who are good at water warfare, and now the pirates have cut off my food, how can they tolerate me to obtain Nanyang rice by sea, if the pirates block the sea ships at sea, at that time, not only will they not transport rice, but they will lose their ships, so the gains will outweigh the losses,"

Sony's rebuttal made Sukh Saha sneer secretly in his heart, he didn't answer immediately, but after a little contemplation, he said with some embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, Lord Suo, this sea is different from the road, as long as the ship goes out to sea, on the vast sea, looking for a boat and a boat is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack, even if there is occasional interception, the loss is extremely limited, as long as a stone of Nanyang rice is transported, the court can get a silver profit of one tael, a boat can get ten thousand taels of silver, if it is a million stones, you can get a million taels of silver, even if there is an occasional loss, it is acceptable, after all, this is only a thousand taels of seagoing ships, and a boat can make a profit of ten seagoing ships."

Although Sukh Saha's explanation seemed quite favorable, the embarrassment on his face fell into Sony's eyes, causing him to sneer and continue to fall into the pit.

"What Master Su said is that this ship can build ten sea ships with a profit, and such a profit is indeed considerable. It would be good if I could come back, but if the pirate ships went out and intercepted everywhere, what would happen when my Qing Dynasty's grain and rice ships would not be returned? ”

After Sonny made this question, Fu Lin, who was originally inclined to support the transportation of rice from the South Seas, also looked at Sukh Saha, waiting for his answer.

As the Minister of the Interior, he knew that whether it was Sonny or others, he had long been full of dissatisfaction and hostility towards him, they despised him as a person, and they were not ashamed of him, they thought that after the death of the regent, as his subordinate, he should not betray the regent, they thought it was good, didn't they know that the regent had died at that time, and it was true that he Sukh Saha was a disciple of the regent. But he Sukh Saha also has to live, when the regent is alive, he can protect him, if he dies, it will be the emperor, that is, the queen mother is in charge, as long as they want, they can take his Sukh Saha's life at any time.

Therefore, in order to save his life, Sukh Saha took refuge in the Queen Mother, and finally saved his life and glory by denunciating the regent Dorgon. But since then, this banner people are not ashamed of his Suke Saha, and it is precisely because of this that the emperor will trust him, because the emperor and the queen mother know that the banner people do not allow him Suke Saha, and they are not ashamed of his person, so it is naturally more reassuring for him to come.

One by one, you just stood and talked without back pain, and when the same thing happened to you, then you will know that I, Sukh Saha, did not do anything wrong in the first place.

It's just a bunch of hypocrites!

Yu sneered in his heart, seeing Sony's smug and seemingly bland appearance, Suke Saha did not answer immediately, but kept looking at his Fu Lin a little anxiously/

"Sukh Saha, what if that's the case?"

For Fu Lin, who was the emperor, he didn't want such a good thing to be just an empty joy in the end, so he naturally seemed extremely concerned.

Facing the emperor's inquiring gaze, Sukh Saha said.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the key to this matter is not how I make grain, how I transport it, or whether the pirates will stop ships at sea, but ......."

After a deliberate pause, Suke Saha glanced at Sony with his spare eyes, and when there was still a trace of smugness in his eyes, he said in an extremely flat tone.

"It's about what flag this ship is hanging!"

What flag does the ship fly?

Both Sonny and Fulin were stunned, they looked at Sukh Saha in confusion, and then Fulin asked.

"What flag does the ship fly? What does this mean? ”

"Back to the emperor, this sea is different from the land, the ship on the sea hangs what flag, that is, the ship of what country, if I ship rice in the DPRK and hang the flag of another country, it is naturally the ship of another country, if it is intercepted by pirates, it is equivalent to invading other countries, so the sailors of other countries will definitely send ships to protect ......"

It was only at this time that Sukh Saha showed some smugness again, and he looked at Sony, who looked rather surprised, and continued.

"This pirate is indeed good at naval warfare and has repeatedly defeated my Qing Dynasty, but Lord Suo may not know, this Western countries, are all good at naval warfare, Portuguese, Dutch, are not far away tens of thousands of miles, all the way to the sea to come, its strengths in naval warfare, by no means pirates can compare, if the rice ship hangs the Dutch flag, for the pirates to rob, the Netherlands will not lightly to the pirates, if the Netherlands sends a naval army to protect, or interfere, it will definitely be able to hit the pirates hard, at that time, my Qing Dynasty is bound to be able to borrow foreign soldiers to get rid of the pirates, so isn't it wonderful!"

After the sentence "Isn't it wonderful", Sukh Saha's face no longer has the embarrassment he deliberately made before, the reason why he is like this is precisely to hit Sony in front of the emperor, in order to show his Sukh Saha's talent.

Looking at its appearance, Sony, who knew that he had fallen into its trap, immediately retorted.

"Hmph, how can the flag of the Westerners be hung if they want to, what if the Dutch and Portugal don't let me hang the flag of the rice ship of the Qing Dynasty?"

Of course, Sony did not mention that hanging foreign flags would damage the prestige of the Qing Dynasty, which would have caused me to have just entered the customs, and there was no such "Heavenly Empire" shelf, and all of them were pragmatists.

Because of this, Sony pointed to the most critical point of Sukh Saha's suggestion, and the Westerners refused to let the flag be hung.

"That's right, Sukh Saha, what if the Westerners don't allow it?"

The emperor's inquiry made Sukh Saha kowtow again and said.

"Your Majesty, this matter could not be simpler, this Western country is completely different from my Qing Dynasty, its own national conditions, if I have a shipping company in its country, it is equivalent to running a business in its country, and the ships in the business can hang its national flag, and this matter, the slave has already done it, and now he has set up a business in Macao, I built a rice ship in the Qing Dynasty, he can hang the Portuguese flag every day, if he is in the Dutch territory, the rice ship can also hang the Dutch flag, if it is intercepted by pirates, it is equivalent to angering the two countries at the same time, Isn't it self-defeating? ”

Of course, the company in Macao was not run by Sukh Saha, but was bought by Jin Wenshi, with the intention of transferring the Jin family's belongings, and now it has become Sukh Saha's invitation.

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that what we're worried about is not whether the pirates will come to intercept the rice ship, but whether they dare to intercept the rice ship!"

"Sukh Saha, you did a good job in this matter!"

Blessing, who was overjoyed when he heard this, immediately praised him. And the emperor's praise made Su Ke Saha proud, but there was a word in his ear that was not salty or light.

"Lord Su's method, if it is done, it will naturally be beneficial to the country, but, Lord Su, there is one place in your method that cannot be solved no matter what!"
