Time Traveling Routine Movie King

Chapter 85 Letters Discussing Economy and Trade

"Gu Changyong, an idiot, if he hadn't worked so hard to get rid of the gangsters of the elder brother and the third younger brother, I would have regretted it today!" Sitting in the south study room, Yu Wentuo said lazily, propping his hands on the chair, It's been too long since he swears, so it's rare to complain like this.

Of course, scolding 'dog Chen Bai' is an exception.

"Your Majesty did this in order to balance all parties. It is really helpless. Prime Minister Wang is the emperor's teacher, representing Qingliu; Bachelor Shen represents Hanlin; General Yang represents the military, and Gu Changyong represents the cruel officials." Shu Yu replied standing aside.

Yu Wentuo looked at him: "This is also a good chess set by the concubine for me, but now with the imminent move of the position of crown prince, there is a strong tendency to come. This is already the case in the year when I was born, if the destiny It’s not a bad year, it’s no wonder that the life of emperors has not been long in the past, and it is estimated that most of them died of anger.”

"The emperor was joking. When the war subsides, who would dare to usurp the imperial power?" Shu Yu said comfortingly.

Yu Wentuo frowned: "In order to make our court completely reverse the disadvantage of the northern nomadic cavalry, I have persisted in my career for so many years, insisted on the martial spirit of the youth of the whole country for three years, and insisted on 15 years of retired training. The reason is that the country will always have a reserve military force. At the same time, I have been digging and praising the money in the treasury and several large warehouses of grain. The purpose is only one, and it can play a role at critical moments. But for so many years, Strategically, we have all the advantages, but look at the present."

Yu Wentuo shook his head.

"Your Majesty, don't be melancholy. Our soldiers have not participated in the war for many years. It is natural that the combat power will be damaged." Shu Yu comforted.

"It's hard to find Shen Bai. He is handsome, but he is a relative in the harem and An'er's uncle. He can't escape the infighting behind me. Alas, this is fate!" Yu Wentuo looked at Shu Yu: "except You, the whole world, how many people can I rest assured of?"

Shu Yu clasped his fists and said, "It is precisely because Shen Bai is the uncle of the country that there is no doubt about his loyalty to His Majesty. Is this a good thing?"

"Huh!" Yu Wentuo looked at Shu Yu: "Do you still remember that one year, the Lotus Master from Tubo came to Bianjing?"

Shu Yu nodded: "Of course I remember. According to legend, he is the metamorphosis of Master Padmasambhava, and he was also transformed from the lotus flower of the Buddha. The Dharma is boundless. I still remember his majestic appearance."

"Well, before I was enthroned at that time, he had already quietly told me that I was the emperor." Yu Wentuo said, Shu Yu showed a surprised expression.

"No wonder the concubine said that the emperor is No. 1 in the world!" Shu Yu praised.

"Don't be in a hurry to praise me. Master Lianhua said that I am the destiny of the Flying Immortal. The enemy in this life is the person who came from the same place, just like the flying star. This kind of person will be my enemy in this life. Fight for life."

"From the same place?" Shu Yu was puzzled, he didn't understand the concept of time travel.

Yu Wentuo explained: "This is the Buddha's words, and it is also a myth. The common people don't understand, but I understand. I have been worried that Shen Bai is such a person, so I have lingering fears!"

Shu Yu didn't speak after hearing this.

"Are you disappointed that I am so suspicious of Shen Bai?" Yu Wentuo looked at him and asked.

"The emperor is planning for the world, no matter what you do, you can't do it too much." Shu Yu replied firmly.

"So the purpose of my talking with you today is to let you understand the tactics of scheming. Shen Bai must control it, but if he is my old enemy, then even if I am not around in the future, you have to get rid of him." Yu Wentuo looked at Shu Yu and said.

"Your subject knows." Shu Yu replied.

"Well, my number one enemy at the moment is Yelu Anqi. He is the same kind of person in Mingli. It is best to use Shen Bai's hand to get rid of him. It doesn't matter if they both lose. But I also have scruples." What Yu Wentuo said today seems to be A lot, and quite sensitive.

"What is the emperor worried about?"

Yu Wentuo lightly tapped on the Longshu case: "Do you believe it, neither Wang Mingzhang nor Gu Changyong is a good thing, they are holding back their ideas and playing tricks!"

Shu Yu showed a thoughtful expression: "Gu Changyong is a reckless man. It is obvious that he has thoughts, but Prime Minister Wang?"

"Know people, know faces, but don't know heart." Yu Wentuo waved his hand: "Gu Changyong is his puppet, every day the eldest prince is around, he thinks he has an extra puppet, who can be manipulated sooner or later."

"Since your majesty knows, why don't you get rid of it?" Shu Yu asked in surprise, this is not in line with Yu Wentuo's character.

"His so-called Qingliu is just a cover for his own interest group. Compared with Shen Bai, it is much more difficult to deal with him." Yu Wentuo said with a smile: "I have been on the throne for nine years, but I haven't cleared up the poison. The internal faction is powerful."

Shu Yu nodded and said: "I'm ashamed, I haven't helped the emperor clean up the government for so many years."

"The changes of the world are just time-shifted, so I still have a lot of expectations for Shen Bai, alas, I really hope that he is my younger brother."

Shu Yu bowed his head and said, "Shen Bai values ​​friendship and loves his heart. I think His Majesty can convince him."

"Is it for An'an?" Yu Wentuo asked back.

"Yes!" Shu Yu replied directly.

"Humph." Yu Wentuo smiled softly: "I said a lot of things in my heart today, alas, if you leave Shen Bai, you will get rid of the Wang family, but the most important thing for the outside world is right now. I will write a letter to Shen Bai and ask His opinion, it’s about fighting and money.”

Shen Bai was very surprised when he received Yu Wentuo's letter, because it was either sent in the form of imperial decree or secret decree, or it was simply sent in an encrypted secret document. He didn't even know who wrote the letter before he opened it. It's Yu Wentuo.

"What is the emperor writing the letter for?" Zi Huan happily made tea for Shen Bai, chatting with Xu Jin who was beside him intermittently.

Xu Jin was drawing blueprints, planning the layout of merchant ships.

And Shen Bai, who was busy with official duties, just enjoyed the time to chat with the two of them from time to time.

"The emperor complained that the imperial court was spending too much, which was not conducive to the development of the war situation. Ask us if there is any way to break through." Shen Bai replied.

"The imperial court has no money, no way, the emperor has saved a lot of money over the years!" Apart from lamenting, Zihuan scolded, even Prince Shen's savings have been cheated by the emperor, why is he called poor!

"War is to fight for national power. It is normal for national power to be weak at the moment. This is just the beginning, and it will be even more alarming in the later stage." Shen Bai said decisively: "This is one of the reasons why I advocate the development of Liaodong."

"We have our backing, and the emperor will support us when the sky falls. But the emperor is really terrified. You are so busy eating for hundreds of thousands of people. What do you think the emperor will do?" Xu Jin While drawing the line, he looked at Zihuan: "You have to be thankful that your ancestors didn't grab the throne, otherwise you may be the one who suffers."

Zihuan laughed when he heard this.

The three of them were chatting and laughing when Shunzi came to report: "Young Master, Deputy Commander Jia sent someone to say that Yelu Anqi from Khitan South Court sent an envoy and said he wanted to see you, but he detained him. He asked you to see me?" not see?"

"Yelu Anqi's envoy, this is really interesting, it seems that we have found the bottom line." Shen Bai thought for a while and said: "Tell the person who came, call back to the elder brother, and bring the envoy."

"Yes!" Shunzi followed in the Protectorate's Mansion, recently learned some fists and kicks, and became tougher, which made Shen Bai smile knowingly.

Zihuan looked into Shen Bai's expression and thought in his heart that it would be great if he could be like this every day.

Shen Bai wrote a letter to Yu Wentuo with a pen, firstly reporting the matter of Yelu Anqi's visit, indicating that the other party might want to test him, and at the same time telling Yu Wentuo to beware of changes in Beiyuan or Northwest.

Second, he wrote that "the national strength should be adjusted to local conditions and individual conditions. Our country has a vast territory and all kinds of resources are available. Strategic planning should be made before the war.

For example, coal and other mining should be properly open to private participation. Coal and iron ore are of great importance and are necessary for war. Due to insufficient supply, the cost of mining is high, and the state treasury invests too much, which is really inappropriate.The country should draw a fixed tax, and use the ratio of minerals instead of doing it yourself, so that it can be converted to investing more manpower in forging weapons.

Such as iron mines, there are 77 iron mines and iron smelting at all levels in my country, distributed in 24 state capitals.Different standards and different supplies, such as the Yanling knife, is only enough for Bianjing and Duhufu, while the local garrison is still using weapons such as simple knives, and there is no high-quality Yanling knife at all.

If such miners turn to specialize in mining gold, silver, copper and other minerals, why worry about the shortage of money in the country?

As for materials such as war horses, our country is deficient, and materials such as cotton and linen are in short supply in foreign countries.

Why not barter?

Our country's magnet tea weaving is superior to that of the four seas, what is lacking is the proposal of sea prohibition.

The He family is far connected, trapped in Qiongzhou, seems to be harmful, but in fact it is a cocoon. It is an enemy of merchants in the world and blocks people's wealth. It does not need the might of the sky. "

Shen Bai's reply letter arrived in Bianjing overnight, and Yu Wentuo read it in the morning break, and sighed lightly.

After the next dynasty, Wan Jinhou, An Guogong, Yue Wang, Wang Mingzhang, and six ministers were left to discuss matters in the South Study Room.

After Shen Bai's letter was circulated, Yu Wentuo looked at everyone: "What's your opinion?"

Wang Mingzhang stood up and said: "The proposal is very good, but it is a bit difficult to implement, especially the sea ban. Even if we open it now, if we don't solve Qiongzhou, we can't do business with Borneo and other countries, not to mention that Jiaozhi is still hostile to us. "

Wan Jinhou Huang Liuqi said disapprovingly: "Before, Lord Shen was already building Jinkou Port, which was dedicated to foreign trade with Goryeo and Jurchen, and he also helped me buy five large sea-going ships. Let's use his words to compare our hearts with our hearts. As a merchant, I will never miss this business. Just like what Hou Ye said in his letter, no matter how far he is, he will be the same in front of the world's merchants. If Chinese merchant ships are armed How many merchant ships can we destroy with He Yuantong and Jiaozhi?"

"The people in the southeast coast of our country are strong, and the fishermen at sea have always been strong. If they are organized, they will indeed be a good force to expand the sea and defend the frontier." King Yue is familiar with the coastal area and supports it.

"I'm afraid that it will be difficult to collect the water. Coal and iron ore are the foundation of the country. If they are exhausted or controlled by merchants, who can guarantee that there will not be a second He Yuantong or a third He Yuantong?" said the director of the Ministry of Industry. Civil engineering, etc., Minister of the Ministry of Industry said with some scruples.

"That's why it is necessary to strengthen the army and defend the country. With a heavy army in hand, and the kingship is unified, who would dare not follow?" Shu Yu couldn't help but express his opinion.

"The direction of the wind must change, and it can be done gradually. I am discussing it, and I will make a decision later in the court meeting." Yu Wentuo said patiently.
