Chapter 517 The T-shaped scroll balances public and private interests

Emperor Yonglong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Feng Qing, according to what you said, let the Jiangnan sea merchants bring their ships to open up the Liaonan-Denglai route first, and the imperial court can give them trade with North Korea and Japan." At the same time, let Jiangnan ship merchants come to Denglai to build a shipyard in southern Liaoning. The imperial court can use land donations, navy orders, and bank loans to support,..."

  The emperor was still clear-headed, and Feng Ziying was relieved. As long as the other party understood the truth, it would be much easier to persuade or reach a consensus.

"Reporting to the emperor, this is exactly what I mean. In fact, the most important thing is the shipbuilding ability and the combat ability of our navy fleet after it is completed. We also need to have the shipbuilding ability. Even if the ship is destroyed and sinks, we can rebuild it. Decide whether we can control the trade between North Korea and Japan. As long as we are strong enough, we can fight Japan again for this, but if we fight again, it will not be in North Korea, but on Japan's own land. You can compete with the Xiyi people for the benefit of the Great Zhou,..."

Emperor Yonglong heard the implication. In the future, the naval fleet will not only **** and guarantee the transportation route from southern Liaoning to Denglai, but also become a sharp weapon for development and conquest in the future. If anyone is unwilling to accept it, the naval fleet of Dazhou can use its own capabilities To force the other party to accept.

  Although he knew it was still far away, Emperor Yonglong still couldn't help but look forward to that scene first.

   "Feng Qing, I couldn't help but be moved by the beautiful picture you painted for me." Emperor Yonglong said leisurely, "I can give you the greatest support, but don't let me down."

  Feng Ziying hurriedly bowed and stood up to salute, "Your minister must devote all his energy and care to his death."

   "Yeah." Emperor Yonglong was very satisfied with Feng Ziying's excited statement, this is like a newly promoted boy who is deeply excited by the emperor's favor.

  Earlier, Emperor Yonglong always felt that this guy behaved too calmly and maturely, so that he always regarded him and Zhang Jingqiu, Chai Ke, Cui Jingrong as his peers, and after reacting, he was very uncomfortable.

   "Feng Qing, about Yinzhuang, I feel that you have more to say in the palace, so tell me."

Emperor Yonglong finally brought the topic back to the topic he was most concerned about. He felt that Feng Ziying attached as much importance to this Yinzhuang as the Strategy of Kaihai, and he should have a lot of ideas, but Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe were not too impressed. interest.

"Your Majesty, this Yinzhuang is indeed a key to the strategy of opening the sea, not just in the shipbuilding industry. What I mean is that this Yinzhuang will not be limited to this family or a certain industry, but should be a The source of support and support is beneficial to the growth of key industries in Dazhou."

  Feng Ziying originally wanted to use the two words engine and multiplier to describe it, but quickly retracted the words. If I really wanted to say these two words, I couldn’t explain them.

   "Oh?" Emperor Yonglong became more interested, "Feng Qing, tell me in detail."

"I'm thinking that the merchants going north will come to build a shipyard. Even if the Ministry of Industry allocates some craftsmen to them, even if the imperial court allocates land to them for free, they still need to build their own workshops, and they still need to recruit a large number of people who they are familiar with. The craftsmen and technicians must be brought over from the south of the Yangtze River, which is essential,..."

"..., this expense will be huge, unlike businessmen who come here for profit. These craftsmen and technicians live in the south all year round. The biggest problem for them to come to the north is their living habits and family relatives. They can earn money anywhere. For the same wages, they are definitely not willing to go north, so they can only pay higher wages, even several times,..."

"And this is still not enough, because what our navy fleet wants is no longer a simple Fuchuan Guangchuan, but a naval navy that can compete with the Xiyi people. This means that we may be able to build the Fuchuan first Canton Shipbuilding, but in the end we need a naval fleet that can sail far and wide. We don’t have technical personnel in this area in Dazhou, and we don’t even understand many shipbuilding techniques and principles, so we need to go to the Xiyi people. Recruit such craftsmen and technicians, and prepare a considerable number of student apprentices for them,..."

"..., that is a very complicated and expensive process. If those Xiyi craftsmen came to our Dazhou from thousands of miles away, what would they plan? It must be for profit. This kind of cost must be huge, and it also involves A large number of interpreters are needed, which also requires the support of the court and a lot of training,..."

  Emperor Yonglong became more frightened the more he listened, but at the same time, the more he listened, the more at ease he felt.

   This shows that the young man in front of him is not talking about it on a whim, but has already put his mind and effort on this issue. He has thought so thoroughly that it is impossible to figure it out in a month or two.

   "Feng Qing, according to what you said, it is a long way to go to create a naval fleet that has always satisfied me." Emperor Yonglong couldn't help sighing.

"Your Majesty, I also talked about many of the difficulties just now, that is, I want to ask the Emperor to understand that although such matters cannot be delayed, they cannot be expected to be resolved overnight. It will take a process and time, but it is related to our Great Zhou. The fate of the country, whether it is for Liaodong, North Korea and Japan, or for the trade with Nanyang and Xiyi after the opening of the sea in the future, is of great importance. If these businessmen are willing to come to Denglai, southern Liaonan to build a building that meets the imperial standard For the navy fleet, we must give them the greatest support. The imperial court orders, pays a deposit in advance, and then the Yinzhuang lends money to support them. All aspects must support them,..."

  Emperor Yonglong nodded, "But Ye Fang Erqing does not agree with the imperial court's participation in this Yinzhuang. What is Feng Qing's plan?"

"The minister's original plan was to let the Ministry of Households invest in shares, even if it was just a symbolic shareholding, but the cabinet ministers may not be very optimistic about it. Well, the minister has also suggested to Master Cui that we can consider setting up such a bank in Yangzhou. Yangzhou is the place where the world's salt merchants gather, and where the canal and the Yangtze River converge. 200,000 silver coins, well, the minister himself intends to persuade my parents to buy shares in this bank with their own money to show their trust and support,..."

   "Oh?" Emperor Yonglong was quite surprised. It's really rare for such a courtier who dared to express his attitude directly in front of him, and even revealed his family's assets.

  Feng Ziying didn't care. In this era, the amount of assets in an official's family has never been the reason for whether it will be liquidated.

There are only two reasons for being cleared, either the political line is wrong, of course, this political line covers from high to low, you can't expect a county magistrate to rise to the position where the DPRK and China have changed, maybe it is a certain chief The envoy, the procurator or the chief military officer, or the loss of power of a certain servant or the censor of the capital, and the liquidation of the principal will also be implicated in the following.

  Either they are incompetent and corrupt and cause public outrage. This kind of official is incompetent.

   Among them, the former is the main one, while the latter is relatively small, and most of them are insignificant people, such as Jia Yucun in the early stage.

   What's more, is Captain Long really a vegetarian?

Feng Ziying knows very well that in a family like her own, her father is the commander-in-chief of a town outside, and he is the target of Long Jinwei. It is difficult for Jinsha to hide from Long Jinwei's eyes and ears, let alone the various livelihoods of his own family?

  So if you are worried that your family property will be discovered by the court and you are worried, then there is really no need.

Look at the former chief assistant Shen Yiguan, look at the former governor of Jiliao Li Chengliang, look at the current Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, which one is not home to countless fertile fields, mansions like clouds, surrounded by beautiful maidservants, or it is not easy for him to come forward to manage some To make a living, but how can they lose their share of the various livelihoods in the family?

Even if Shen Yiguan and Li Chengliang, the former Shoufu Pavilion elders and veteran generals, were not liked by Emperor Yonglong, after they became official or died of illness, the family would not be liquidated, as long as you don't mix things that shouldn't be mixed. things.

"Your Majesty, if even the instigator, the minister, refuses to set an example, how can others believe it? I also plan to lobby those salt merchants in Yangzhou so that they can also support the minister in this matter." Once, this is not only a support for the imperial court's strategy, but it will also bring them rich rewards in the future. Of course, it may be hard for them to believe it, and more people will think that the minister wants to make them rich."

Both Feng Ziying and Emperor Yonglong laughed. At this time, it is undoubtedly a dream to let those salt merchants who believe in not revealing their wealth and prefer to hide their silver underground for a lifetime to take out their silver to invest in Yinzhuang. Without some other means, it is difficult to let They submit.

   "Hehe, Feng Qing, these Yangzhou salt merchants are quite capable, they can reach the sky." Emperor Yonglong said meaningfully.

  He didn't believe that Feng Ziying didn't know what was going on behind this. It was impossible for Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia and even Feng Tang to hide this from this budding star.

"I understand, so I am also going to lobby the prince and Niu Gong, um, please believe and support Yinzhuang. If they and more people support me, I think this matter will go much smoother." Feng Ziying said in "More A lot of people" has a slightly accentuated tone on the words.

   "Is there any more?" Emperor Yonglong didn't seem to hear anything, but Feng Ziying didn't believe it.

"Well, there are ministers who want to lobby those salt merchants. Of course, they have to use some power. In addition to the power of the imperial court, both Huaihe Rivers and Huaihe Rivers are transferred to the side of the Si Yamen, so I also have to use power." Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Feng Ziying didn't intend to hide it, "Duke Lin's daughter has a predestined relationship with my minister, and thanks to the emperor's great love, I chased my uncle Hulunhou and bestowed him with a concubine. The minister's family is very grateful, so I have already engaged with the daughter of Duke Shen, the prefect of Dongchang Prefecture. The daughter of the family entered the house of Feng's family, and in the future the sons and daughters of the Feng family will inherit the eldest house of Feng's family, and the minister wants to hire Lin's family, so that Lin's daughter can enter Feng's third house, which is the house,..."
