Chapter 233: Someone Else's Child

After the verification of hundreds of officials, it was found that the method of developing Borneo led by the people is indeed the best way at present, although the development authority of Borneo is released, and the people are free to develop, such a model has not been verified by reality, but this is indeed the best way - for the development of Borneo, the court itself is powerless, and is reluctant to give up in vain, so let the people come by themselves, the court only needs to set up the corresponding army and government here.

As for whether the people's own development will mess up Borneo - don't worry about this at all, do you really think the imperial court is that good? Are the official palaces and the army of the imperial court all decorations? Said that you should develop it independently, do you really think that we will give you the rights?

Developing an island is not such a simple matter, especially in Borneo, which is poor and white, everything except food has to be transported from the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial court will be so kind that it will really give up all the development rights?

It's impossible to think about.

However, it is certain that some of the rights will be transferred, and as for who can profit from it, it will depend on God's favor.

What's more, even if there is no suppression by the imperial court, the people have messed up Borneo, so what? Isn't there still that sentence - the path you choose, you have to go down on your knees.

"Your Highness's method is good, but there is still a question, that is, how can we transport the people over? Borneo is four thousand miles away from Yuezhou, and at such a distance, ordinary ships can't do it. "While everyone was discussing it fiercely, someone suddenly raised this question.

"Hahaha......" Hearing this question, Li Zhen suddenly laughed, not only Li Zhen, but everyone who knew the inside story laughed, including Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Baoqing and Pei Xingjian.

Those who didn't know were laughed inexplicably, including Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chi Jingde, so the first two were unlucky......

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

With two muffled sounds, Cheng Chuliang and Wei Chi Baoqing were smashed over by two fists the size of a sand bowl.

"Dad, why did you hit me?" Cheng Chuliang covered his head and asked loudly, feeling that he had been wronged to death, since he returned to Lingnan to see his father, he knew that this beating was inevitable - as a subordinate of the prince, when the prince made a mistake, not only did he not stop it silently, but he made a mistake, and he admitted this beating.

But he didn't expect that he would be beaten because of a loud laugh, he was really wronged, even more wronged than Dou E.

Cheng Yanjin shook his fist and snorted angrily: "Bastard boy, what are you laughing at?" Why don't you hurry up? ”

"Dad, just ask, why are you beating your son?" Yu Chi Baoqing also felt that he was very wronged, but he knew that he was already merciful to his subordinates, otherwise his head would not be as simple as a bag, with Yu Chi Jingde's fist, it was not said that his head was bleeding.

"Then hurry up." Wei Chi Jingde said in a sullen voice.

"Shhh

The two of them covered their heads and got up from the ground, and were about to speak, Li Zhen hurriedly said: "Okay, don't talk about it, let's talk about it in this palace." In fact, what this Aiqing said is very reasonable, if you want to go to Borneo, there is only one way by sea, and if you want to go to sea, you must have a large number of ships, and they are big ships, this sentence is very true. But what you don't know is that Hongu has several shipyards in Datang, and these shipyards can already produce giant ships of more than 1,000 tons - you shouldn't know about these, right? ”

"Of course, these ministers know." Someone said: "But as far as the ministers know, the construction period of the big ship is very long, often half a year, not to mention that according to the news obtained by the minister, Your Highness, you have sold all the merchant ships under your name, dare to ask Your Highness, where did you get so many big ships in a short time?" ”

"Hehehe...... That's why they laugh at you. Li Zhen chuckled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other...... Therefore, the current ships of this palace are not only not less, but also too many to be used up, and what is lacking in this palace now is not boats, but sailors. ”

"This ......" except for those who knew the inside story, everyone was scared, more than a thousand thousand-ton merchant ships, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to lay out more than ten years ago, this matter is too legendary, how old was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more than ten years ago? At most, five or six years old.

What were you doing when you were five or six years old?

Are you still peeing and playing with mud in open crotch pants?

People have already begun to think about the future, and they have built such a large shipyard with great splendor......

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - Sure enough, it's someone else's child.

In the end, Li Zhen concluded: "Therefore, the last thing you have to worry about is the problem of ships, as long as these ships are sealed and handled, then we will have a sufficient number of ships in a short time, so it can be said that if these ships are all put into the sea, then it will bring us countless wealth." ”

"......" No one answered Li Zhen, and everyone fell into silence, and some of them's eyes flashed with an inexplicable light - a thousand thousand-ton merchant ships, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not need so many ships in a short period of time, so that is to say, some of these merchant ships may be lost to the market......

Then you might have a chance to get your hands on it......

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Highness has settled everything, so it's time for everyone to take a stand...... Open Borneo, this policy, do you agree or disagree? ”

This is to make everyone express their position, of course, the opening of the authority of an island is not such a simple thing, which of the permissions can be opened, which permissions must be held in the hands of the imperial court, there are too many things that need to be studied, and it is not at all decided by a group of people in a meeting for a while.

Therefore, this time the statement is mainly to pass this resolution, as for the rest of the matter, it still needs to be agreed slowly, and this process will take at least a month - don't think that the imperial court is inefficient, in fact, this is already the fastest speed.

The situation in Borneo is still simple, and it is developed by the private sector independently, and there are many fewer procedures in the middle. It has been more than a year since the Nanyang Peninsula was beaten down by Li Zhen, why has there been no large-scale development, in addition to the number of natives, more importantly, the imperial court has been discussing, how to develop Nanyang, and how to set up what kind of government agencies in Nanyang - at this time, the Tang Dynasty has the Metropolitan Protectorate, the Governor's Mansion, the Dao, and later the Jiedu Envoy Observation Envoy, etc., various administrative units are different, and the division of interests is even more complicated, This is also one of the main reasons why the Nanyang Peninsula has not made much progress until now.
