P.S.: Shamelessly seeking support......

"While I understand your enthusiasm and concern for the future of the country, I ask that you be patient enough to listen to the transcript of this lecture and then express your thoughts in accordance with the order of the court, instead of interrupting others without reason and making unrealistic remarks based on assumptions without any reason. I won't care about this seat this time, but I hope this is the first and last time. ”

After Xin Yu finished speaking, he turned around to face the throne and continued: "Father Qi, the content of the cooperation intention reached with the Cui family this time is ......"

After listening to the content of the treaty of the prince's general message, the ministers behind him breathed a sigh of relief. However, they didn't dare to shout anymore, but they could no longer be considered by the king and the crown prince that they could not shoulder the burden of the country, after all, officialdom is a circle that can go up and down, regardless of the generous salaries and benefits given by the royal family, if they are pushed to the end, it will be a loss of face, and it is not acceptable to these courtiers who have just said goodbye to the grassroots and tasted power.

Xin Yu obviously heard Zhang Qingyang behind him quietly breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that he was still satisfied with this cooperation intention. Trading a large amount of grain with the Cui family is also a bit difficult for the Ocean Country, but it is not a very harsh condition, on the contrary, it is very fair. With the country's emphasis on agriculture, a large amount of barren land has been developed, and with the application of advanced agricultural tools, this year's grain output is much more surplus than in previous years. Coupled with the development of marine fisheries, the food supply of maritime countries is still relatively abundant. Although it would affect the country's grain reserve plan, it is not unacceptable. Moreover, if the Cui family refuses to pay in the first transaction, this cooperation cannot continue, even if the loss is only one time. And if you can continue to trade for a long time, even if you can't make money, at least it is impossible to break the cost, at most it is just a waste of some transportation power.

"The deal with the Cui family will be handled by the crown prince, do you need to add anything?" Xin Daqiang was very decisive in avoiding contact with the astral world, which was probably the limitation of his grassroots background, anyway, he didn't have the fearless courage of an ordinary founding emperor.

After the court meeting, Xin Yu was busy. Of course, making money is the most important thing, in the 21st century of Xin Yu's previous life, as long as he has money, no matter whether he lacks arms and legs, rich people will have power, can be recognized and respected by society, and even get everything he wants. However, in this world, the power of money may also be huge, but if you want to keep your wealth, you need real strength, unlike him in his previous life, even if he was born sick, he can still enjoy a considerable status.

Originally, I thought that with Chen Linqiang's golden thighs to hold, the Ocean Country could develop steadily without twists and turns. But Cui Ming's arrival made Xin Yu understand that if he wanted to develop, if he wanted to develop quickly, it was impossible not to contact the astral world. After all, even if the Cui family does not appear, when trading with other countries, it will at least have to intersect with the astronomical offerings of other countries.

The astrologists may be afraid of the face of the great astral sorcerers, but they may not really be willing to deal with the sea country fairly and justly. At that time, don't let the astromagicians come forward, and directly use worldly means to cause losses to the interests of the sea country. Even if there is a large Liang country on land as a front-line meat shield, there is no threat of land cession, but if the maritime country wants to develop shipping and trade, it will have to go to other people's territory. There is no need to use unskilled means such as seizure and robbery, as long as the import and export tariffs are raised, the road to the development of the pillar industries of the maritime countries in the future will become extremely bumpy and difficult. At that time, even if Chen Linqiang is strong, it will be impossible to suppress one secular regime after another unreasonably, right?

Therefore, the corresponding deterrence by force is still necessary, and the military expansion plan must also be carried out as soon as possible. However, building an army did not happen overnight. You don't see all the armies of the Sea Country, and the total number of people is only about 1,000.

On the one hand, it is natural that the Xin family, the royal family, does not have the accumulation of several generations, and money is secondary, and the key is that there is no reliable manpower. As a national force, it is terrible to have no reliable people to help you run it. This is also the reason why Xin Yu has been slow to equip the army with advanced weapons, because what can really be recognized by him as a reliable subordinate is probably the hundred or so coolies and slaves allocated to him by the Chen family.

On the other hand, it is still due to the fact that the maritime state does not have a deep heritage, and it was not established in the midst of war. Forming a combat-effective army is not a matter of following YY novels, it requires the accumulation of quite specialized knowledge and talents. Especially in this era of cold weapons, it is not with the superficial knowledge in Xin Yu's mind that he can play his level in a wild way. This is much more difficult than building a tall building on the ground, at least Xin Yu has copied the huge Forbidden City in this world, and he doesn't feel much difficulty.

Fortunately, the maritime country is a country without land pressure, and Xin Yu can devote all his energy to naval construction. Regarding the construction of the Navy, he is still quite confident. Although he was not even a pseudo-military fan in his previous life, he couldn't stand the fact that there were many overhead novels about navigation to guide him. As for the higher quality required for naval talents, it also depends on who they are compared with. Xin Yu didn't think that there was anyone in this world who could understand the Navy's offensive thinking and related tactics better than him, and there was no problem in improving while fighting.

Vigorously develop shipbuilding and primary artillery manufacturing; vigorously collect grain and develop fishing...... These plans were drawn up in Xin Yu's hands, and then handed over to Zhang Qingyang to implement. The entire maritime country revolved around the Cui family's large orders, which opened the prelude to the era of the first great development.

Although the maritime countries are small, the power that can be exerted under the national system is no worse than those of the big countries. Especially under the command of Xin Yu, the technology and the way of organizing production are far beyond other traditional countries, not to mention how reasonable and advanced it is compared to the extensive management of the Cui family.

What assembly line production mode, what modular manufacturing mode, what parallel engineering. Coupled with Xin Yu's golden finger guidance, the production tools have also been greatly improved, and the initial stage of the otherworldly version of the industrial era has been completely reached. In less than two months, the first batch of 50 new seagoing vessels was ready to go.

Moreover, with the efforts of the efficient management team that has gradually been trained, not only the fast sea vessels with a total displacement of about 150,000 tons have all completed the acceptance steps, but also the first batch of grain and other goods traded with the Cui family have also been prepared.

Of course, since there was no grain procurement channel established before, this time it was mainly marine fish deep-processed products as the main grain. As for the types of other goods, due to the rush of time, on the one hand, the preparation was insufficient, and on the other hand, it was not known which goods were the best-selling in the snow desert, and the results for the sake of safety were naturally lackluster, and there were only two kinds of refined salt, which were the specialties of the maritime country, and the arrow shafts, which were quickly produced by machines.

Originally, in order to raise such a large number of goods, Xin Daqiang and his ministers expected that they would have to use most of the silver deposits in the treasury, but the result surprised them. Their genius prince not only did not spend a penny on the treasury, but on the contrary brought many unexpected taxes to the state.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is not unusual at all, what is the greatest wealth of a country? Some people say talent, some people say technology, but those are too macroscopic. In fact, as an independent regime, the real wealth is that, as the maker of the rules of order, the state can use policies to leverage the entire economic market. In his previous life, what Xin Yu remembered most about the earth was the impact of the "Plaza Agreement" on the country of devils and Huaxia's policy of stimulating domestic demand and stimulating the economy.

As a real existence in this country, Xin Yu only issued a decree under the supervision of the state to allow private capital to enter the shipbuilding industry, salt drying industry, seafood processing industry and other industries, and packaged the technology in his hand at an astronomical price.

And Xin Yu does not have the idea of completely monopolizing the country's economy, even if he releases so many sensitive technologies, he will not lose control of these industries. Not to mention the hard and fast rules on technological blockade, even the outdated thinking of the rulers of other countries cannot meet the requirements of large-scale industrial production. Besides, even if these low-level technologies are diffused, Xin Yu still has more advanced ones in his mind, as long as the quality of industrial workers is improved, and the existing technology is upgraded at that time, the technology obtained by other countries will be outdated, and there is any competitiveness compared with the maritime countries?

Of course, Xin Yu's methods are more than that. He also added a Ministry of Foreign Trade to the state administrative system, and set up a Huaxia business group specifically for trade with the Cui family, and through a series of dazzling equity distribution agreements, almost all the private capital of the Maritime State was wiped out.

Originally, because various countries did not attach importance to commerce, the root cause was that each regime needed a reason to shear sheep from fat merchants, and the social status of merchants was generally not high. Those merchants in Haizhou may still be willing to invest in business, but those landlords and old fortunes cannot have any sense of business. Moreover, the newly established state and the royal family have not established an objectively strong national credit, and it is almost impossible to get them to change the bad habit of storing gold and silver money.

Although he doesn't have the eloquence of those elites in his previous life, he has the rights that elites don't have. It was only by establishing a policy of knighthood to be awarded to the state by the amount of tax to be paid, and the first to be granted a baron as a model was a small herb merchant. Ignoring Xin Yu's care of acquaintances and lowering the judgment requirements, the so-called wealth and virtue, no matter what kind of insider story exists in the awarding of this title, immediately aroused people's enthusiasm for business.

After all, the taxes paid on the output of land are not as fast as those paid by commerce, not to mention that they may not lose money, do they? I really think that it is not safe to do business with the royal family, and it is also more cost-effective to invest in industry, or to deposit it in the bank to eat interest.

Xin Yu has always believed in the power of capital, so the first organization officially established in the Ocean Country and spread throughout the country is neither an official government nor a school, but a central bank. The first official building to be completed was not the Forbidden City, but bank buildings scattered throughout the country.

Although the bank established by Xin Yu only has more non-local deposit and withdrawal business than the original bank, it is this still very simple financial instrument that allows the private capital of the maritime country to have a channel for circulation. It is reflected in this large-scale capital operation, which has brought together most of the domestic resources in just one month, which is a manifestation of the bank's strong ability to absorb and dispatch funds.

In this way, not to mention the need to use the national reserves, the tax revenue of the maritime countries has risen several times in a period of time. Although it seems that it cannot earn the maximum profits through monopoly industries and foreign trade channels, in terms of production and capital utilization efficiency, state-owned enterprises will never be able to compete with private enterprises. In the long run, a restrictive open market policy is also good for the country's economy as a whole. Moreover, I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run, Xin Yu has many cases of macroeconomic regulation and control with economic leverage and policy fine-tuning, and he is not worried about what kind of adverse consequences will be brought by the capital monster released by himself.

After all, only the royal family holds the highest armed force in this country, and the so-called breech gun era has no revolution, and the advanced weapons with a generation difference of at least 100 years can definitely ensure the royal family's control over the country. Moreover, he had already prepared for a rainy day, and worked day and night with the entire secretarial corps to formulate a commercial code of monstrous detail, believing that as long as the interests of most of the capital were taken into account, and the total amount of capital of the royal family occupied an absolute dominant position on the whole, there was no small businessman who was not open-minded and could confront the royal capital and power at the same time.

Besides, this is a world similar to martial arts Xianxia, to be specific, it is the star magicians who have a bad reputation or the group that has supernatural powers should be the existence that attracts the hatred of ordinary people the most, relatively speaking, the policy of the Ocean Country is not too gentle. In addition, when the Ocean Country was not yet established, Xin Yu paid attention to the policy protection of the interests of ordinary people, even if there were a handful of restless businessmen, with the military will and public opinion that the royal family could obtain, they might have too much appeal.

Such a large fleet was dispatched in the first transaction, not only to show the Cui family the strong capital of the Huaxia merchant group, but also to increase the safety factor of the first ocean voyage. After all, tens of thousands of miles of sea routes, even offshore routes will inevitably encounter dangers such as wind and waves, and the ability of a large fleet to resist risks is stronger than that of a small one.

Of course, as a test of the waters, it is very unsafe to invest such a large amount of money at once, even to resist the risks of sea routes. If the Cui family really plays the rogue face of an astrologist, although it will not cause the industry and commerce of the Ocean Country to collapse from now on, it will also deal a great blow to the prestige of the royal family and the new economic order of the Sea Country.

Therefore, for this long-distance foreign trade transaction, Xin Yu insisted on personally leading the team, because only his existence could slightly make up for the lack of high-end force of some fleets. Moreover, with Chen Linqiang's identity as a next-generation disciple of a great star magician, how can he make the Cui family a little jealous, right?

On the day of going to sea, the only port royal dock in the maritime country that has been completed and put into use can be described as a crowded crowd. These goods were the hope of many merchants, and they naturally came to see them off. However, the main force still came to the soy sauce crowd who joined in the fun and watched the strangeness. After all, it is understandable that the sails of the forest mast and the hull of the wall are not tired of looking at them, and they can also boost the morale of the people and attract many onlookers. What's more, there is a king who usually comes to say goodbye to the future king like in the clouds, even if he doesn't care about current affairs and politics, it is a must to be able to see the big boss at the top.
