Every Red Mansion dungeon must play the ending of Long Aotian

Xing Zhong heard that his face was even more ugly.

He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Girl, do you know how strong a fish is underwater?"

Fishing for sharks?

Shark, that is a tyrant in the sea!This countermeasure seems to be very good, but in practice it is no different from giving away a human head!

Xing Xiuyan said: "Father, my daughter knows what father is worried about. Yes, if it is an ordinary fishing boat, it can deal with those small sharks, but it can't deal with those sharks weighing thousands of catties. Therefore, my daughter dares to ask my father, dare to ask Father, is there a navy in the imperial court?"

When Xing Zhong heard this, he couldn't help but glared at his daughter.

He is a civil servant, promoted quickly, but his foundation is shallow, so he actually doesn't know many things.For example, he is not very clear about the situation of the court navy.

Shandong borders the Bohai Sea in the north and the Yellow Sea in the south. There is a navy, but the navy has its own navy admiral. Maybe the governor of Shandong can quietly inquire about it, or the governor of Qilu can intervene. He is a second-rank chief envoy. Where is this qualification to intervene?

However, the situation is stronger than the people.

Compared with the locust plague and the subsequent refugees, offending your colleagues, offending the admiral of the navy, even offending the governor is not worth mentioning.

Not to mention letting Xing Zhong choose by himself, even if it is placed on the Golden Temple, Xing Zhong is also convinced that compared with the millions of refugees caused by the locust plague, the navy is nothing at all.

If he spoke to the Jingying Jiedushi or other Jiedushi, the royal family would hesitate a bit, but the navy?It's not that Xing Zhong looked down on the navy, but that the navy hasn't been very good since the former Dynasty banned the sea.Compared with the previous dynasty, the admiral of the navy in this dynasty is far inferior in terms of power and influence.

Xing Zhong sighed and finally let go of the hoe in his hand.

He asked the left and right: "Come here, I want to host a banquet for the governor, the governor and the admiral of the Yellow Sea Navy."

When the people around heard this, they all cheered.

They all heard what they said just now.

Whether it's the sweet potatoes that will be registered in Qingzhou soon, or the fish that will be available in the future, for them, they are green plums and a booster.

Although the locust plague is a natural disaster, if it becomes a major disaster and the victims attack the city or even rebel, let alone the governor, even the prince will suffer.

So when Xing Zhong clicked on the post, Zhao Tingcan, governor of Qilu, Zeng Mianzhi, governor of Shandong, and Zuo Jinghang, admiral of the Yellow Sea Division, all came. Fang's family and Fan's family also took a seat as companions and wallets.

After the usual entertainment, the dishes on the table were one-third less, so Zeng Mianzhi said, "Master Xing, today's banquet, I'm flustered."

Guochao learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty, and it is very taboo for civil and military officials to communicate in private.

Xing Zhong sighed, and said: "Isn't it urgent to follow the authority! The origin of the lower official must be familiar to the three adults, and the lower official is not hiding it. The lower official has already inquired about it. In previous years, at this time, Even if Shandong cannot be said to be covered in snow and ice, it can be said that it is covered in silver. At this time in previous years, the top priority of Shandong officials is not to dig locust eggs, but to prevent people from freezing to death! But this year? Don’t be afraid to tell the three, What I am most worried about right now is that next year will be the same as this year, another severe drought and locust plague!"

Hearing what Xing Zhong said, Zhao Tingcan, Zeng Mianzhi and Zuo Jinghang were all taken aback.

What Xing Zhong was worried about was not what they were most worried about?

Zeng Mianzhi's eyes flickered, and said: "Looking at Mr. Xing's appearance, I think there is a countermeasure?"

If you don't have a well-thought-out plan, you won't be so calm.

"Exactly."

Xing Zhong talked about hunting sharks to survive the famine, and Zuo Jinghang jumped up immediately.

"No, no! The navy has no ships! This admiral will never let his brothers die!"

This turn of events stunned Xing Zhong.

He originally thought that as long as he opened his mouth, he would get the full help of the navy!

Seeing this, Zhao Tingcan and Zeng Mianzhi could only sigh.

Because he was worried that Xing Xiuyan, who was pretending to be a servant, saw that something was wrong, so he said: "My niece is bold, may I ask the admiral, is it because the Yellow Sea Navy has not enough ships, or is it too old to be able to withstand the shark attack?"

Zuo Jinghang said angrily, "All of them!"

Speaking of this, he was also full of anger.

The reason is not a shortfall!

Because the national treasury has been emptied, the Ministry of Households is naturally digging and searching for money, let alone the Yellow Sea Navy. As far as he knows, the North Sea Navy, the East Sea Navy, the South China Sea Navy, and the Yangtze River Navy are all different. This situation exists to a certain extent.

Among them, the situation of the sea navy is more serious than that of the inland navy!

"So, if the admiral has enough ships in his hands, is the admiral willing to help?"

"Of course." Zuo Jinghang said angrily, "But, niece Xian, do you think this boat can fall from the sky?"

Xing Xiuyan immediately said to Fan Qingyun: "Let's ask Mr. Fan to tell you about the situation on the peninsula across the sea from us."

All eyes were on Fan Qingyun.

Fan Qingyun said: "To tell you the truth, my Fan family has traded with the peninsula since the previous dynasty, so I know a lot of things on the peninsula. I heard that the peninsula reported to the country that they had 26 warships. But in fact, they built more than [-] warships at sea alone."

Zuo Jinghang jumped up immediately: "What? Are you serious?"

Fan Qingyun said: "The villain is willing to use my Fan family as a guarantee."

Xing Xiuyan said again: "Fang Sixth Master, I wonder how much your Fang family has inquired about the situation in the desert?"

"Just as the girl expected. There is little rain and snow in the desert this year. It is very likely that there will be a plague of locusts next year."

Fang Liufang Zhiping is also a person who has run across the desert. He has seen the insects covering the sky and the sun in the desert in May and June.

Xing Xiuyan said: "The three uncles must have thought of it at this moment. The desert is warm in the south and cold in the north. Once the locust plague starts, the locusts will definitely fly south, but the locust plague in my Central Plains has not stopped. The situation in the coming year will only be more severe than this year. What's more dangerous is that in the fall and winter of next year, when the desert is on horses and fattening, the alien races in the desert may move south. Therefore, next year is a crucial year. Shandong has been the most affluent place in the Central Plains since the pre-Qin period, and Shandong is stable. , the world will be stable. And if Shandong wants to be stable, it must have enough money and food. The sea can give us all these.”

Zhao Tingcan frowned, and said: "So, niece Xian is following the boat on the peninsula?"

"Yes. Shandong and the peninsula are across the sea. There are many things that can be hidden from the imperial court but not from Shandong, nor from your uncles. In view of the possibility of foreign races going south, in order to prevent collusion between foreign races and the peninsula, the imperial court sent envoys to the peninsula to see Doesn’t it make sense? After being reminded by caring people, it was discovered that the number of ships on the peninsula was wrong, so it’s enough to blame the king of the peninsula and report to the imperial court to send a special person to check it?”

Zeng Mianzhi immediately said: "The ruler of the peninsula will definitely seize the time to destroy the warship."

Zuo Jinghang said: "Can we just buy these ships? No, no, we don't have this much money."

The treasury is already empty.

Xing Xiuyan said: "So, my niece plans to borrow money from the Eight Great Giants of Shanxi and Shaanxi."

"Borrow, money?"

"Yes, the bought warship is the mortgage."

The Fan family immediately said: "Miss, this, this collateral, I'm afraid no one would dare to accept it!"

"As long as the three rights of ownership, use and management are separated. Regarding this point, not only my father, but also my niece's adoptive father will also speak to His Majesty."

Ownership must belong to the emperor and the imperial court, so that these ships can be repaired and maintained by the dock of the imperial court.Among other things, state-owned docks are far superior to private docks in terms of material reserves and craftsman skills.

Xing Zhong borrowed money from the Eight Great Giants of Shanxi and Shanxi in the name of Shandong's chief envoy to buy these ships for the emperor, and then obtained the right to use and operate these ships, and then distributed the use and operation rights to obtain money to repay the loan.

Xing Xiuyan carefully explained this set of tactics, and then said: "I heard that Wa State has gold and silver mines, especially the silver mine, which is near the southern end of the Kanto Plain on Honshu Island, and transportation is extremely convenient, so Gold and silver are very cheap in the country of Wa, but because of poor metallurgical casting technology, there is a shortage of copper coins. The situation on the peninsula is similar. Therefore, as long as there are ships, you can use copper coins to exchange a large amount of real gold and silver from the country of Wa. Fan Third Master, I wonder if what the junior said is right?"

Xing Xiuyan has said it so carefully, what else can Fan Qingyun do?

He could only cup his fists together: "Miss is really smart, you have seen through the golden road of our Fan family."

"What is the third master talking about! Let me tell you, if this ship is really in our hands, we must cooperate with the Fan family and earn some gold and silver from it to repay the debt."

Xing Xiuyan turned to Zhao Tingcan, Zeng Mianzhi and Zuo Jinghang and said:

"This is another reason why our family hosted the three uncles today. I wonder if the three uncles have the courage to gamble with us? Twenty percent of the profits earned by the fleet will go to His Majesty, and twenty percent will be used to maintain the ship. It is used to reward the crew and sailors. The remaining [-]% is still divided into ten shares. If the three uncles are willing to bear the debt with our family, they can share the profits with us according to the proportion of the debt. It is huge, and we are not reluctant. Each of the three uncles still enjoys a share of it. It is a little sympathy from our family. In addition, the credit for the peninsula sea ship still belongs to the three uncles. I don’t know, the three uncles wished how?"

Zhao Tingcan, Zeng Mianzhi and Zuo Jinghang were all dumbfounded.

For a moment, they all thought their ears had malfunctioned.

However, they soon began to think about the possibility of success in this matter and the benefits they could reap.

The possibility is naturally needless to say, after all, Long Live is short of money!

It is already an open secret in the court that the emperor is short of money today.The power of the country is held in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, and taxes are also firmly controlled by the Supreme Emperor's people. The emperor can't do anything!The concubine's relatives' villas are the proof!

The methods used by the emperor behind his back were seen by the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty.As long as they are not so stupid, they all know the emperor's intentions!

If the sea ban is lifted, it can solve the current predicament of Long live, and can also fatten one's pocket, can there be anything more beautiful than this?

It's just that those grown-ups in the court are really powerful, which makes people headache~!
