Chapter 952: Sea and Land Trade
Su Xiaoman came back to his senses and found that the two girls were laughing, a little unconscious, so he sat on the nearby couch, and then asked.
"Don't you have anything to do? Where to laugh at something? ”
was caught by Su Xiaoman and laughed secretly, the two pearls were a little embarrassed, but they were not too much of a hindrance, and Pearl spoke up.
"There is no Niangniang, we just think that you and the emperor are very affectionate, are you right Xianglan?"
After Pearl finished speaking, Xianglan, who was standing on the side, also stood up and stepped forward to respond.
"That's right, every time the emperor leaves, the mother will be optimistic for a long time, and today is even more, the emperor has been wandering for a long time when he is gone!"
Su Xiaoman frowned, these two girls didn't hear it just now, but what made them think like this?
Obviously, her clothes are in a hurry, how can she miss Lu Li very much, Su Xiaoman thought silently in her heart, and then warned.
"This is in the palace, pay attention to your words and deeds, don't guess if you hear it?"
After that, Su Xiaoman didn't turn his head and ignored the two little girls, seeing this, Pearl Xianglan must have known that Su Xiaoman was a little dissatisfied, so he also settled down and began to do his own thing.
It didn't take long for the little eunuch beside Lu Li to rush over, saying that he had something to say to Su Xiaoman, Su Xiaoman kept calm and let the eunuch come in to talk.
After the eunuch came in, Su Xiaoman motioned for him to speak.
"Queen Mother, the emperor ordered me to bring you a message."
Su Xiaoman stared at him with straight eyes, and after waiting for him, the little eunuch said without pausing.
"The emperor said, everything is fine, please don't worry about it."
Hearing this, Su Xiaoman was relieved, as long as Lu Li would not force Wangshu to do something he didn't like.
"Well, I know, thank you, father-in-law, you go back first."
The father-in-law got the order, so he asked for peace and left Su Xiaoman's palace, Su Xiaoman was relieved, but the two of them were a little foggy.
Su Xiaoman saw that the two of them really couldn't feel at ease, so he ordered.
"It's just Wangshu's business, don't you want to know more?"
Su Xiaoman said, got up and came to the two of them, one of them flicked his head, and then went back to rest.
After Wangshu's incident, Su Xiaoman spent more time on Wangshu's body, and when he was fine, he called him to her palace, and the mother and son discussed a lot.
Su Xiaoman also gradually understood that Wangshu didn't seem to have any ideas about power, so he made him happy.
In the study the next day, Su Xiaoman, as usual, accompanied Lu Li to sort out the folds, looking at Lu Li's appearance, Su Xiaoman said softly.
"Lu Li, I've talked to Wangshu a lot in the past few days, but I can see that he has nothing to do with this throne, don't force him."
Lu Li sat on the main seat, his face was calm, and when he heard Su Xiaoman's words, he shook his head helplessly and responded.
"Am I like the kind of person who repents? I said respect for his choice, don't worry. ”
After explaining, Lu Li put down his hand
, and then with a solemn look, he spoke.
"Let's not talk about Wangshu first, we should start studying the matter of sea and land trade you mentioned before."
Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li tightly, chuckled and shook his head, since Wangshu was already safe, then the affairs of the country became important again.
Su Xiaoman had thought about how to do the business by the sea, and it must be much easier for the country to do it, so he spoke.
"I thought about asking the merchants to do it, but those merchants must raise the price, and the people won't be able to enjoy the deliciousness."
After that, Su Xiaoman clicked the table with his hand, with a thoughtful expression, Lu Li was a little sluggish to look at, and at this time he felt that Xiaoman was really beautiful.
After thinking for a while, Su Xiaoman withdrew his hand that had been knocking on the table, and then began to speak.
"Nowadays, the domestic river, almost not too big to open out, if the transportation is successful, the future inland transportation must be more convenient and fast."
Lu Li thought that Su Xiaoman just wanted to send some fresh aquatic products inland, but he didn't expect her to have other ideas, so he asked.
"And what are your plans?"
Hearing Lu Li's question, Su Xiaoman smiled, and then opened his mouth to tell Lu Li about his plan.
"Don't we have some deals with the countries bordering the sea now?"
Lu Li was a little puzzled when he heard this, but he also nodded, and Su Xiaoman continued.
"We're transporting silk and stuff like that almost from the inland to Haikou, and then from the other end of Haikou to the outside, aren't they?"
Lu Li listened, a little confused, could it be that Xiaoman wanted to start directly from the inland and reduce the cost of transportation on land?
"Could it be... You want to go straight from the inland river..."
Lu Li's words were intermittent, and Su Xiaoman saw that he heard it, so he nodded hurriedly, and then continued.
"That's right, if it's really possible, inland items can be transported directly from inland rivers, leaving the trouble of secondary transportation."
Su Xiaoman paused a little when he said this, thinking about the twists and turns that came from Zhanzhou in recent days, it was written that the flow of goods was too much, and the current wharf was a little unbearable.
I was thinking of expanding the wharf, but the expansion might also delay time, Su Xiaoman said to Lu Li.
"Saving trouble is one of them, and the Haikou terminal has been a little unbearable recently, and inland transportation can also share some for that side, right? In the future, the Haikou wharf will be continuously expanded, and the junction of the river and the sea can also accommodate some boats, and it is not better for the two parties to help each other. ”
After hearing this, Lu Li really felt that there was no problem, so he nodded, and then responded.
"In that case, tomorrow I will talk to the ministers in the court, and if the majority agree, I will order someone to arrange it."
Su Xiaoman chuckled, and Donglan, who was planning for prosperity in the future, didn't say more, lowered his head and seriously helped Lu Li start sorting out the twists and turns.
After the next day, Su Xiaoman learned that Lu Li had already mentioned this time in the court, but the ministers thought it was good, so they ordered someone
Start getting ready.
At this time, the court has almost stabilized, and all the ministers are Lu Li's henchmen, since Su Xiaoman was canonized, the position of prime minister was handed over to Shi Jizhen.
The position of the previous imperial historian was handed over to a conscientious imperial historian, and the supervision liao gradually became stronger, split from the imperial history platform, and was controlled by Huang Fengyi.
Lu Li directly handed over the matter of sea and land transportation to the Ministry of Industry to deal with, and asked them to check the situation and plan the most reasonable route.
In this matter, the military department is not idle, if this sea and land are completed, troops will be sent to garrison to prevent pirates from running rampant.
After Lu left the court, he saw the secretary of the military department to the upper study and discussed the training with him.
Su Xiaoman pinched the time, and as soon as Lu left the court, she appeared in the upper study, ready to deal with the government with her.
When she arrived at the upper study, she didn't expect that Shi Ji Zhen and the military department Shangshu were also there, so she put on a more luxurious posture, and when the two of them saluted, she stopped talking with a wave of her hand, and sat quietly aside.
Although the people of the harem are not allowed to discuss the government and politics, but at this time, the emperor and queen are of one heart and one mind, and do not design other forces, so the military department is very open, and he said.
"Your Majesty, regarding the dispatch of troops this time, should we take advantage of the construction of the Ministry of Industry to train more soldiers for naval combat?"
Lu Li actually had this intention, when he dealt with the pirates, fortunately they were not professional thieves, and they barely won the fight.
Just trained a powerful soldier in this way, presumably Donglan will be invincible in the future, thinking so, Lu Li spoke.
"I have this intention, the strength of Donglan's sea battle is indeed a little not too tough, it just so happens that I want to talk to you about this matter, but I didn't expect Aiqing to think the same way."
Su Xiaoman sat quietly on the side, quietly observing the conversation of several people, thinking that if there was any problem, he could help come up with an idea or something.
In the end, Su Xiaoman did not express an opinion on this matter, and Lu Li arranged for the military department to train the maritime army, and Shi Ji Zhen was responsible for contacting the officials over there.
Shi Ji really listened, scratched his head a little, he didn't know what to contact, so he asked.
"It's okay to contact the officials, but aren't the fish in the deep sea? Ordinary fishermen probably won't find it. ”
Lu Li looked at the puzzled Shi Ji Zhen, did not speak, his eyes quietly turned to Su Xiaoman's direction, and then spoke.
"The queen has a way to do this, and when the time comes, let the queen write a letter to the past."
Shi Ji really looked back at Su Xiaoman after hearing this, but he believed it, Su Xiaoman smiled solemnly when he heard it, and then responded.
"This matter, don't worry, Master, I will contact the fishermen, and then the government will hand it over."
Shi Ji Zhen also knew that Su Xiaoman had communicated with the local people for a long time at that time, and he also had contact with the leader of the pirates at that time, so he could indeed rest assured.
After thinking about it, Shi Ji nodded seriously, and then said solemnly.
"I'll leave the contact to you."
After that, the two of them were in the way of the face of the military department, and they couldn't pretend to be too casual, so they saluted each other and didn't say much, listening to the plan after Lu Li.
Su Xiaoman wrote a letter on the same day and handed it to the boss on the island and the innkeeper in Zhanzhou.
Say that things are ready, let them communicate with each other, and then hand it over to the local county government.
...
After everything was ready, Zhanzhou began to send sea fish inland.
What satisfied Su Xiaoman was the time, the time of river transportation was greatly reduced compared with land transportation, so the fish transported were very fresh.
On the basis of transporting fish, the Ministry of Labor of Lu Youzhi improved the construction of the river, and the transportation of the Donglan River gradually tended to be on the right track, and some characteristic items in the inland also passed through the inland river and began to be transported in a steady stream towards the security of the coastal country.
Su Xiaoman sat next to Lu Li and listened to Lu Li's recent talk about sea and land transportation.
