The Salmonella Islands have been recovered, and Suzhou in Beiliao is in front of us.From the lines in the report, Wang Anshi could feel the team's covetousness for Beiliao and Suzhou.

Perhaps it is the sweetness that the pirates have tasted by confiscating their assets, and it seems that their greed is getting stronger and stronger.

However, if it is aimed at the Northern Liao Dynasty, the general understanding in the court is that you can try it.

"As long as it's not the Great Song Army Flag, you can do whatever you want."

Everyone has seen the benefits of this non-military and non-pirate team, and they probably think so.Zhang Dun didn't hide it either, he directly pointed it out.

"We still have to pay attention, try not to attract Beiliao's attention."

"Does Guochao need to care about Beiliao at this time? There have always been pirates, and this team of Guochao has no responsibility to maintain shipping for Beiliao."

"If you are not careful, you will cause a war in advance... the court will take time."

"Didn't you also watch the original pirates plundering Beiliao? There is no need to worry too much. Proper naval battles are conducive to training the combat power of this team and achieving self-sufficiency. Why not do it?"

Zhang Dun, Wang Shao, and Lu Gong tend to be laissez-faire, while Han Zhen tends to be conservative.Lu Huiqing and Su Zhe did not express their views, or it was meaningless to express their views.

As for Su Song, he seldom has an attitude on these matters, but he was a little disappointed that he didn't find any minerals.

"Then let's try it, just treat it as a test of Beiliao's reaction!"

Beiliao didn't take sea power very seriously, and Guochao tried to test it in this way, so it shouldn't have much reaction.Based on this, once a war breaks out, controlling the supply line at sea should also be considered.

"If you want to try it, try it."

Zhao Xi has nothing to do with this. As long as they don't land, the team should be in no danger at sea. It is estimated that Beiliao will not take it seriously.

It is estimated that Beiliao would not take these thousands of mobs seriously, otherwise this team would not have seen Beiliao send envoys to intervene when they made such a big commotion at sea.

"Be careful when enough is enough. Although you are not in the army of the imperial court, the imperial court still needs to emphasize the discipline. Once you become a thief, it is difficult to recover!"

The most direct way to obtain income is plunder, and plunder is the most test of people's mind.

If the second child is a rebellious son, Zhao Xi seems to be more at ease, judging from the management in the north of Annan these years, it can be regarded as knowing the overall situation and being restrained.

As for the fourth child, he is a bit clever, and may not have the latitude and longitude in the fourth child's heart.

Feel free to toss about, as long as you don't deliberately seek death, safety should be no problem.

The point is that so far, even armaments have been exchanged for seized pirate materials.

The imperial court has no loss, and even gains, or it can be said that all the households of the court ministers and workers have benefited.

Zhao Xi even wondered if being too laissez-faire would create the age of great navigation ahead of time... In other words, the earliest adventurers at sea also started as pirates.

Even the heritage of some countries in later generations is related to maritime plunder.

"Wang Xiang...or forget it."

"Official, what can't you say?"

"It's not impossible to say, but it's too early to say. This team is currently in the East China Sea, after all, it's limited."

"It's just that Guochao intends to use them to test Beiliao. It's better not to leave the East China Sea for the time being. If Guochao recovers Yanyun, they can be released and placed in a farther ocean."

"From the point of view of the country's maritime trade, the wealth of the ocean may be even greater than the wealth of the land. Spices alone can feed the five thousand soldiers."

Although it is not possible to arrange this way now, it is also possible to confuse them in advance.

"Spice? Isn't that a cannibal?"

"Probably not. Comparing the goods and prices of the Western Regions and sea freight, it should be seen that the spices are not necessarily produced in Dashi or Persia, but rather produced in a certain island in the South Sea."

"Or the big cannibals found out in advance and took it as their own. After recovering Beiliao, we can release this team to try."

Zhao Xi was also in a fit of fits.Originally, I no longer had any hope for the New World, but at this time, I had another idea in my heart.

The thing that can best guide people's behavior is interest.

The benefits of shipping are great, how can the benefits of owning the Spice Island be as great?

As far as Guochao's current territory and Dingkou are concerned, the spices arriving in Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Mingzhou are basically emptied without leaving the harbor.

Being driven by spices is much better than being driven by exploring new continents.

Although the progress of the steam engine in the workshop city is very slow, Zhao Xi still has some expectations for the long-distance voyage.Especially after Guochao saw the interests in the sea other than shipping, Zhao Xi's originally calm thoughts sprouted again.

"Well, let's mention this idea first, and make preparations. When the Guochao regains Yanyun, see if the control of firearms can be relaxed. Maybe it can allow non-governmental organizations to do things like the fourth prince."

"Officials, will this mess up Gangji?"

"Not to mention. In the years since firearms appeared, the secrecy has been done very well, and everyone still knows the severity."

"For example, Wang Xiang, your family uses firearms at sea, but are you willing to reveal the secrets of the firearms? The key is to choose who to use."

"In the team of the Four Princes, there must be every family in the imperial court, right? It's a bit of a foundation."

"I said this is still far away. The cabinet can discuss this matter first. What kind of person to choose, what power to grant, how to control the court, etc., can be discussed."

This is the temptation, and perhaps such a temptation can really change the original navigation history.

Chapter 856

To say that the hottest topic in the court these days is undoubtedly the official topic about going to sea in the future.

It seems that the official's going to sea does not mean maritime trade, but more like maritime plunder.

Firearms, personnel with experience in naval warfare... This is not about maritime trade.

Of course, the scope of discussion on this topic is still limited to the courtiers, and there is no limitless enlargement.

After all, the premise of promoting this matter is to regain Yanyun, which is still in the planning stage in the court...

As for those who have people in the team of the four princes, how to explain to the people they arranged, it depends on their own level.

The court's secrecy decree is not fake, and the supervisory office is always looking for trouble.

After all, the supervisory yamen cannot supervise officials like later generations. The imperial court did not restrict officials from doing business, let alone restrict the improper relationship of later generations.

Zhao Xi has no intention of being too advanced, and the system should be based on suitability, rather than rote.Therefore, the current supervisory office is relatively free, which also indicates that the country is politically clear to some extent...~

The normal state of society is stratification, especially in this day and age.

Reducing taxes to a certain extent without affecting the income of the imperial court and certain classes is the best way to reduce conflicts.

That is to say, in this era, Zhao Xi has more knowledge of thousands of years, and can achieve unlimited open source, so as to delay the occurrence of conflicts very well.
