"That's it!"

Zhu Houzhao made the final decision, his heart was not towards his literati, and it was useless to keep it!

It's still those craftsmen, and the aliens make him even more greedy, the Fulong Dao people, the astrological feng shui skills of the wind chime master, and the minds of the crazy researchers in the Sun and Moon Academy Palace, but they all helped him a lot.

Everyone didn't say much when they saw this, after all, the Zhengde Dynasty really had no shortage of people, and the Sun and Moon Academy had many talents, even if some literati were poached by other dynasties, they couldn't shake the foundation of the Zhengde Dynasty.

"To carry out trade with various dynasties, the goods and resources that need to be traded out are finalized by the household department, and a copy of the fold is prepared and handed over to me."

"In addition, if private merchants are interested in going to various dynasties to do business, they can also give a certain degree of support, but they must not disturb the law."

Zhu Hou looked at the head of the household and said.

"Minister, obey!"

Wang Zuo nodded in response.

"Opening trade exchanges with various DPRKs and carrying out foreign exchanges is of great importance to our DPRK and is related to the long-term development of our DPRK.

Zhu Houzhao said sincerely, his eyes wandered back between Wang Zuo, the secretary of the household department, and Liu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

The establishment of diplomatic relations with the DPRK requires the Ministry of Rites to come forward, and trade with the DPRK requires the Ministry of Household to operate and control.

"After talking about trade with the DPRK, let's talk about the second thing."

Zhu Houzhao took the transformation drawings of the floating battleship from the table, handed them to everyone to see, and said very seriously: "This picture was presented to me by the Sun and Moon Academy, and a plan for the transformation of the floating battleship was drawn on it. ”

"I personally went to the Sun Moon Academy Palace to verify that there is at least a 30% chance that it can be built successfully."

"Once the floating warship is successfully built, our DPRK will have an indestructible sword, which is of great military strategic significance."

"However, there are too many resources to be consumed, so I want to hear from the audience."

After reading the drawings of the floating battleship transformation, everyone said that their faces were either heavy or excited, and their performances were different.

They can all understand the strategic significance of floating warships, and they are indeed the sharp weapons of the country, but they look at problems from different angles in different positions.

The first consideration of civilian officials is financial problems, and the resources required to build floating warships can be described as a bottomless pit.

Can the financial revenue of the Zhengde Dynasty, excluding the salaries and salaries of the officials and the army, as well as the miscellaneous expenditures of the local government support the smooth progress of the floating warship transformation plan?

In their opinion, as long as the floating battleship is successfully transformed, their highlight moment is coming, and it is not too cool to drive the floating battleship and fight whoever they want.

A lot of military exploits seem to be beckoning to them.

"Your Majesty, this battleship is unceremoniously said that it is a divine weapon that can become a heavy weapon of our dynasty, and the minister believes that no matter what the cost, as long as this battleship can be manufactured, then all the efforts are worth it."

Li Cheng, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, couldn't wait to speak, his eyes revealing a strong color of longing.

He was particularly good at using firearms tactics, and in the battle against Annam, he performed particularly well, and cherished advanced weapons even more.

He even dared to pat his chest and promise that if he was given a floating warship, he would be able to destroy a country with one person and one ship.

"The minister thinks that what General Li said is extremely true, if this battleship is completed, our dynasty will be equivalent to having a divine weapon, even if it is not used, it can deter all directions."

Sun Yuanying's voice was like a sword, sonorous and powerful, and the whole person was sharp and high-spirited.

"The last general seconded ......"

"The last general thinks ......"

Everyone in the military department spoke one after another, as if they were crazy, their eyes were full of brilliance, and they were overjoyed.

They were indeed about to go crazy, but they were not really crazy, they just felt that the unprecedented glorious moment of their military attaché was coming, and their hearts were uncontrollable.

A floating warship has an extraordinary impact in a strategic sense, and for the military department, it is enough to change the operation pattern of the military system of the Zhengde Dynasty.

In the past, when fighting a war, you either walked, rode a horse, or took a boat, but with a floating warship, it was different, and it would be much easier to transport soldiers, grain and grass, and it would be much easier to fight a war.

Even if the Tiangang Five Thunder Cannon equipped on the floating battleship is not used, the floating battleship itself has immeasurable strategic value.

"Alas......"

Compared with the military department, the civilian performance of the cabinet and the six ministries was not so eager, and they couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.

From the tone of the emperor's speech, they understood that the emperor actually supported the floating battleship transformation plan, and the reason why he came up with it to discuss it with them was just to go through a process.

After all, without their support, it would be difficult to carry out the floating warship transformation plan, and the financial resources of the imperial court could be in their hands.

"Your Majesty, this floating warship is expected to be built in a few years."

Hubu Shangshu Wang Zuo's face was solemn, and everyone stared at Zhu Houzhao in unison.

They couldn't stop what the emperor was going to do, so they could only choose to agree, but they had to know the specific situation before they could judge whether the Zhengde Dynasty's finances could support the floating warship transformation plan.

"Five years."

Zhu Houzhao stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and said very solemnly: "Mr. Zheng Dashen, who proposed the plan for the transformation of the floating battleship, told me that it will only take five years at most for the floating battleship to be transformed. ”

Five years?

Hearing this, Wang Zuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in five years, the finances of the Zhengde Dynasty could still afford it.

He was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would say that it would be a year or half a year, in that case, he would rather die in front of Zhu Houzhao than would never agree.

Even if the Zhengde Dynasty underwent reform and reform, and the treasury revenue increased every year, it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to build such a behemoth as a floating warship that consumed countless resources in a year and a half.

Someone can build an airplane and warship in minutes, but it is open, against the sky, and it is completely unreasonable.

Zhu Houzhao has no external plug-ins, and the national strength of the Zhengde Dynasty has not yet reached the level of defying the sky, so we must pay attention to reality in everything and look at ourselves objectively, so as not to make mistakes.

"Minister, agree to the floating battleship transformation plan."

Wang Zuo took a deep breath and said with a full breath.

Although the others did not speak, their attitude was already very clear, as long as they did not demand that it be completed within a year and a half, and would not damage the foundation of the Zhengde Dynasty, they would not oppose it.

They still see very clearly the pros and cons brought by floating warships, and in a short period of time, they may cause financial turmoil in the Zhengde Dynasty, but in the long run, the benefits that floating warships can bring to the Zhengde Dynasty are absolutely beyond imagination.

The floating battleship transformation plan was approved by the ministers, and Zhu Houzhao was also relieved in his heart, and said with a smile: "The secretaries are well aware of the righteousness, and I am very pleased. ”

I know that righteousness is a ghost!

Wang Zuo and the others secretly slandered in their hearts, if there was a choice, they would not agree so easily.

If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, every time Zhu Houzhao puts forward a big plan, a lot of silver flows out of the treasury like flowing water, and they see it in their eyes and hurt in their hearts.

It is also the silver that flows out, and there will be silver pouring in, otherwise the officials of the household department would have collectively run to Zhu Houzhao to complain to him!

When I watched the white silver disappear from my eyes, the pain was indescribable.

Even if the silver in the treasury is not their own, whenever they see the silver in the treasury decrease, the household officials will inevitably feel unbearable heartache.
