Chapter 460: That's right

Wu Chuxiong nodded and said, "That's right, it's more than Jinshan." ”

Hearing this, the discussion in the entire Qilin Hall immediately became intense.

Everyone's eyes were red, and there was a look of disbelief in their eyes.

Zhao Hai got up with a smile and said, "You didn't expect it. ”

"I don't have so much money and food in my treasury right now."

"After all, the border was rushed just now, and all my money was given to the soldiers."

"But now, any reckless organization in the middle of the rivers and lakes can come up with such a monstrous amount of money."

"Let me ask you Aiqing, do you say, is this a kind of irony?"

"You people who live in temples know nothing about this matter, and you don't even care about it."

"Tell me, what do you do all day?"

When many ministers heard this, some of them immediately lowered their heads in shame, a little at a loss.

Then everyone whispered again about these things.

Zhao Hai immediately suppressed everyone's discussions, and said solemnly and coldly: "Fellow ministers, the matter of the Yuzhong Society is just the beginning. ”

"It's far from over."

"Other illegal gangs and organizations in the rivers and lakes will also be cleaned up one by one."

"I'm here to say hello to the ministers in advance."

"Don't get involved with these people, otherwise, I will find out that some of you are enriching your pockets and using these martial arts people to make illegal profits."

"Then, I will behead all these people involved in the case to warn the world."

"And if there is a person who exposes it in advance, I can also be lenient, understand?"

As soon as Zhao Hai's voice came out, dozens of ministers, including Wei Qian, knelt down at the same time, and said to Zhao Hai in fear: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare!" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to Great Qin, how can they do those things that exploit the people and affect the image of Great Qin?"

"Please also ask Your Majesty to be aware of it!"

The ministers knelt on the ground, trembling, for fear that they would be suspected by Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai waved his hand and immediately said, "Ministers, be exempt from courtesy." ”

"If there is a change, if there is no encouragement, I don't know what your situation is now, in short, you can do it yourself."

"The money and grain of the Yuzhong Society are really not a few."

"I, I want to use them to do something that can think about the foundation of Great Qin and the foundation of Great Qin."

When Wei Qian heard this, he pondered for a while, and then stepped forward and clasped his fists at Zhao Hai and said, "Your Majesty, dare to ask what this matter is?" ”

Zhao Hai said loudly: "In this matter, the first thing is to increase my Great Qin's sharp soldiers. ”

"Second, it is to rectify the entire Great Qin's sailors."

"Third, didn't I say before, I want to rebuild the three major battalions and the Chinese army in the entire Xianyang City."

"But because the frontier and the displaced people have always needed money, it has been put on hold for the time being."

"It's time to restart."

"This Chinese army, let's call him the Divine Dragon Heavenly Army, is only subordinate to me, and the number of recruits is 70,000."

Hearing this, many ministers had a look of surprise on their faces, and discussed a few words with each other, but none of them dared to stand up and raise objections.

At this time, Jiang Xiaoyue, the captain of the guard, stood up, clasped his fists and said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, dare to ask the Ministry of the Water Division, how to rectify it?" ”

Zhao Hai's eyes slowly looked at Zhou Chang, the chief of the national sailors in the crowd, and said: "Zhou Chang, the former chief of the national sailors, was weak and incompetent, and the soldiers under him were all wine bags and rice bags. ”

"There are very few water battles, resulting in the entire water army being muddy and idle all day long."

"Among them, a large part of the responsibility has to be attributed to you Zhou Chang."

Zhao Hai's voice was like a thunderbolt.

When Zhou Chang heard this, he was immediately frightened, knelt on the ground, and said to Zhao Hai: "Your Majesty, Weichen is not like this!" ”

"Your Majesty, I ......"

"Shut up! When I speak of you, do you have a part in speaking? Zhao Hai roared.

Zhou Chang's face immediately turned pale and bitter, and he didn't dare to say a word.

Then Zhao Hai said calmly: "From today onwards." ”

"Zhou Chang was demoted to deputy chief manager, and Wu Qilong, the chief of the water division of Minzhong County, served as the chief of the national water division."

"The rest of the remaining generals will be removed from their posts if they are incompetent, and those who are conscientious in office will be transferred across the country."

"In addition, on the major canals in the whole country, according to the section of the river, there must be a water division and county government at each stage."

"This county government is specifically responsible for protecting the transportation of regular merchant ships."

"Crack down on all kinds of bandits and water ghosts along the coast!"

"From now on, I will never allow the second Yuzhong Society to rise!"

Hearing this, the faces of many ministers changed and changed, and they didn't dare to say more.

They didn't expect that the changes that Zhao Hai wanted to make would be so big.

In this way, it is a subversive change of the national water army!

One is a water division yamen, and the other is a divine dragon heavenly army established, and both projects cost a huge amount of money and food.

A minister immediately stood up and raised the question in his heart, "Your Majesty, the cost of money and food needed to establish the Sailor County and the establishment of the Divine Dragon Heavenly Army in this way is astronomical!" ”

"If such a large-scale rectification and establishment continues, I am afraid that there will be no balance at all in this money, Your Majesty will think twice!"

At this time, Song Zhichen, the imperial historian on the side, also stood up and immediately said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zuo is right. ”

"In fact, the sailors don't have any war at all on weekdays, and they are not needed to defend against the frontier tribes in the north."

"If you raise a group of people like this, the final result will be the same as before, the sailor will have nothing to do, and eventually become corrupt and degenerate."

"Your Majesty might as well use all your money and food on the blade, such as strengthening the stability of the entire northern frontier defense line, and hoarding the country's grain and grass, etc."

When Zhao Hai heard this, he immediately shook his head.

As a traverser, Zhao Hai knows very well that the fundamental place to drive the economy is transportation.

The so-called "if you want to get rich, you must first build roads" is not empty talk at all.

For example, the coastal areas of later generations were so rich because they were pulled out by shipwows of overseas trade.

In ancient times, there was no efficiency and means to build bridges, so rivers became the most convenient and best transportation routes in nature.

The normal operation of a Grand Canal can bring economic growth to the country is astronomical!

And if the road has been plagued by banditry and so on, and the merchants are unwilling to come and do trade, then the river will be abandoned.

In the end, it will only be a huge waste of advantages.

Therefore, the establishment of the Sailor Division was not established for war at all, but purely for the sake of being able to reassure and have confidence in the merchants who came and went to trade.
