Building a navy, Li Yuanhao really didn't think about it, but listening to Zhao Shuo say this at the moment, it was really a way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Western Xia is a landlocked country and is not close to the sea, so building a navy is pure nonsense. But now it's different, according to Zhao Shuo's method, lease a port of Zhao Shuo, build a Western Xia naval army, and then pass through Zhao Shuo's control area to transport supplies back to Western Xia. This is really a good development strategy for Western Xia.

"Lord Wang, what you said is true?" Li Yuanhao was a little excited, but also a little incredulous. "Are you really willing to lease the port to me in Great Xia, let me develop the navy in Great Xia, and give you a war for overseas trade?"

Zhao Shuo nodded. "Of course, you and my brother, I can still fool you." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo said again. "In the coastal area, except for Dengzhou and Laizhou, you can choose the rest of the ports. As long as it's a brother, you can rent it to you. ”

When Li Yuanhao heard Zhao Shuo say this, he was originally excited, but he calmed down. "Lord, how much is this rent, Daxia is poor now, if there are too many, you can't afford it."

This is Li Yuanhao's concern now, the days of Western Xia have become more and more difficult, Zhao Shuo's commercial trade has made the people and the government of Western Xia live well, and the annual tax and silver collected are more, but what is puzzling is that the storage of the treasury is indeed declining year by year.

Leasing a port is a good thing, but if too much silver taels are needed, it may not be a good thing for Western Xia.

You must know that building an army is not something that can be built overnight, and the navy is also an extremely good type of army.

This kind of investment in scale has made Xixia very difficult, and if the rent is too high, Xixia may collapse directly.

This is Li Yuanhao's concern, so he has this question.

"Don't worry, the rent is to talk about it, after all, the sovereignty of the port, this king cannot hand it over, as for the rent, you use it first, and we will talk slowly." Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, my brothers are all clear accounts, this, it's better to explain in advance." Li Yuanhao also smiled, but what he said was different from Zhao Shuo.

Li Yuanhao is worried that the place belongs to Zhao Shuo, if detailed regulations are not made, once the port is built and the ship is built in Xixia, then Zhao Shuo will turn his face and not recognize people, and directly take back the steel structure, then Xixia really has no bottom to reason.

Therefore, in his bones, he still hopes to sign a written contract with Zhao Shuo, but some things can't be said directly, so he puts forward a different opinion from Zhao Shuo.

"Okay, since Brother Li said so, then let's get a contract." After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo looked at Zhang Chujiu. "On the ninth day of the first month, you receive news every day, you tell me how much silver the Mongolian navy gives every year when it leases Dongying Port."

"Back to the prince, because the Mongolian naval army and the Great Song Dynasty naval army are not shallow, and Dongying is afraid of the Great Song Dynasty, so Dongying Port is leased to Mongolia, and the silver spent is not much......"

Zhang Chujiu's explanation made Zhao Shuo speechless, but it made Li Yuanhao breathe a long sigh, because there was not much silver spent.

"Just the numbers!" Zhao Shuo scolded speechlessly. "You've been talking too much lately. I've learned to be poor. ”

"Hehe......" Zhang Chujiu smiled awkwardly, and then said. Mongolia leased the port of Dongying for about 1.5 million taels of silver a year. ”

"One and a half million taels?" This time, Li Yuanhao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, became more and more uncalm.

One and a half million a year, that's not much? He had great doubts in his heart about Zhang Chujiu's words just now.

"King Xiping, this is really not much, if it is under normal circumstances, three million taels each, don't want to lease, this is Dongying in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, half the price, now we occupy the Dongying port, Dongying people are now willing to pay five million a year to redeem it." Zhang Chujiu sighed lightly and sighed. "Think about it, the current overseas trade is really making money, otherwise, a little Dongying can be so arrogant."

Li Yuanhao has emotion and helplessness. What he sighed with emotion was that what Zhang Chujiu said, every Dongying had become so arrogant, but Xixia had become what it is now. The helpless thing is that Western Xia is like this, let alone five million, three million, even if it is one and a half million, with the current situation of Western Xia, it will not be able to come up at all.

"Brother Li, at this price, alas, the situation in my Western Xia, I'm afraid it ......" Li Yuanhao was helpless, and he was already ready to give up the plan of leasing the port and developing overseas trade. After all, the current Western Xia is too poor.

In the case of Western Xia, if you pay rent, you will not have the silver taels to develop the navy, and renting a port that cannot build ships will become meaningless.

Li Yuanhao was helpless and helpless in his heart, but more helpless. But before he finished his words, Zhao Shuo interrupted him.

"Brother Li, are you out again, it is my idea to help Xixia develop a navy, so I have helped you plan a lot of things." Zhao Shuo opened his mouth lightly and told his thoughts.

"The Western Xia leased the coastal port of this king, because it is a brother country, so this king thinks that we don't talk about how much money to lend, only about trade. In the process of building ports and naval forces in Western Xia, this king can provide some help, whether it is manpower or material resources, he will help the Xia army to the greatest extent. ”

"After the port is completed and the navy is established, the Western Xia navy will start overseas trade with this king, and after the goods are brought back, this king hopes to get thirty percent of the profit as our expenses to help the Western Xia."

Li Yuanhao frowned at the moment, thirty percent, this is not a small number.

"Brother Li, don't think about it." Zhao Shuo patted Li Yuanhao. "This is a proposal from this king, how can Xixia pay money now, most of it is invested by this king, just tell Brother Li, my brother will settle the accounts, so I want thirty percent of the profit."

"What about time?" Li Yuanhao asked the key question.

"Time!" Zhao Shuo said lightly. "As long as Xia Jun is still using that port, he will go according to the one he wants, and one day Xia Jun will have his own port overseas, and he can move materials alone, and he will not rent this port, and when the time comes, what Xia Jun obtains will be Xia Jun's, and this king will never touch it."

Li Yuanhao pondered for a long time and found that this was indeed a way, even the only way to allow Western Xia to build a naval army now.

"Is that true?" Li Yuanhao looked at Zhao Shuo.

"When this king speaks, he has always been a spitting nail." Zhao Shuo said.

"Okay, then everything will be done according to what the prince said!" Li Yuanhao really had no good way, and for the sake of Western Xia, he agreed to Zhao Shuo's mention.
