The distance was so far that Feng Ziying couldn't even see Emperor Yonglong's face clearly, so she could only retract her head and learn from the others, and honestly listen and meditate.

The court meeting was presided over by the first assistant of the cabinet, which was also a model that inherited the former Ming Dynasty and then experienced the development of the Great Zhou Dynasty for decades.

Ye Xianggao's original official dialect with a strong Fujian accent has changed a lot, and the courtiers have become more and more familiar, including Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji's official dialect actually has a relatively obvious southern accent, which is also a very obvious characteristic of the southern scholars occupying a dominant position in the center of the Great Zhou court.

In addition to Qi Yongtai, the other three of the four cabinet elders are all from Fujian and Nanzhi.

The two are expected to enter the six Shangshu of the cabinet, and Li San, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is a northerner, but he has always been friendly with the Jiangnan scholars, and is even regarded as a traitor by some narrow-minded northern scholars.

Zhang Jingqiu, on the other hand, is from Sichuan, and belongs to a relatively rare alternative, which is considered an individual independent of the north and the south, but because he is too close to the emperor, the scholars on both sides of the north and the south are a little alienated from him.

For example, if the governor of Denglai, Wang Ziteng, and the governor of Xuanda, Niu Jizong, are both in Beijing, they will attend the court meeting, but they will be on the right as military generals, and if Chai Ke, the right attendant of the military department and the governor of the three sides, is in Beijing, they must be on the left as a civil minister.

All in all, the military generals from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, several governors, and several generals above the fourth rank in the Beijing camp on the right looked a little scattered, and the number was not much, much less than the Wenchen on the opposite side.

The virtual rank of military generals does not go to the palace to discuss matters, and even does not participate in the court meeting of Shuowang, only the court will participate on New Year's Day every year, but at that time, thousands of courtiers just walked around the situation, I am afraid that you may not even be able to see the emperor's face.

This is the third pilgrimage meeting after the spring break, the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month.

"The Emperor of the Household Department, Cui Jingrong, the right attendant of the household department, and his entourage were ordered to go out of Beijing to inspect and investigate the front-line of Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and returned to Beijing, and the DPRK and China have been discussing this matter for a long time since November last year, but in view of the fact that Cui Shilang and his entourage have been inspecting and investigating the affairs of the investigation is relatively cumbersome and detailed, and the relevant economic and industrial operations are quite complicated, the minister thinks that Cui Shilang can make a report on the work of the emperor and the ministers of the court at the court meeting,......

Ye Xianggao's words were subdued and frustrated, quite ancient, this was originally the norm, but for Feng Ziying, who participated in the court meeting for the first time, it was a feeling of time and space confusion, well, it was like listening to the echo of history in "Daming 1566" or "Daming Fenghua" or other historical dramas or jokes.

With Emperor Yonglong's expressionless cheeks slightly bowed, the melodious voice of the inner servant sounded again: "Quasi-play, Cui Jingrong, the right attendant of the household, plays!" ”

Finally saw the elegant Cui Jingrong calmly come out of the ranks, holding a thick fold in his hand, it also took Feng Ziying, Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei, Fan Jingwen, and He Fengsheng on the boat along the way, and it took several days to come up with the first draft, and the specific decoration and sorting were naturally carried out by those officials who were specially responsible for writing work in the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry.

However, Sun Juxiang, as the imperial history, will not intervene at this time, according to the rules, he has his own reporting channels, and he also has the observation angle of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come up with his own report.

Cui Jingrong did not report according to the route of this southward inspection and investigation, but analyzed and reported on the major issues involved in the strategy of opening the sea according to their importance or urgency.

There is no doubt that this is the most appropriate, this is not a routine inspection investigation, but a targeted special inspection investigation, according to such a way, it can quickly attract everyone's attention and attract everyone's attention.

"......, the shipbuilding industry under the rule of the Ministry of Industry has shrunk and eroded to the point of no return, taking the Qingjiang Shipyard as an example, less than 30% of the craftsmen and workers are registered, even if it is strictly reorganized, it is estimated that it can reach half of the registration is already a very good result, the books in the shipyard are chaotic, there are many defects and losses, and the minister does not know whether it is intentional or for other reasons, just as the minister has seen, the shipbuilding wood is very rotten, such as glue, lacquer, rope and other things are stored in no order, and the registration is chaotic,......"

Cui Jingrong had already held his breath, looked at Qingjiang Shipyard and Longjiang Shipyard, and then went to see the private shipyard in Ningbo.

"The situation of Longjiang Shipyard is slightly better, but it is just as unsightly, most of the registered craftsmen have lost to work for some private shipyards, many registered craftsmen have passed away but are still registered, and what should have been added by their descendants has not been added at all, and it is completely chaotic,......

Cui Jingrong's words caused an uproar in the hall, everyone knew that Cui Jingrong was simple in nature, he didn't like vanity, and he also said one thing and two things, and what he said basically didn't mix too much water, and he said it to this extent, but I was afraid that the situation was really bad.

Emperor Yonglong's face was also very ugly, in fact, before Cui Jingrong and the others returned to Beijing, he had already handed back some excerpts to report the situation, and he had already made some mental preparations, but it was still a little unexpected to be so bad.

And the cabinet ministers, the six ministries, and even the important ministers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also frowning, they have also heard some information a long time ago, but it is still unacceptable to rot to this extent.

"The minister doesn't know very well how the Nanjing Ministry of Industry is managing the Qingjiang and Longjiang shipyards, and he doesn't know how the Nanjing Engineering Department and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate are supervising the Nanjing Ministry of Industry and the two shipyards, but the minister heard that the Qingjiang Lifting Division is a big case, but the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate has concealed it and did not report it, and if there is no such institution in the Nanjing Engineering Department, turn a blind eye to this situation, the specific situation, presumably the Metropolitan Procuratorate Sun has already reported to the Metropolitan Procuratorate separately, so there is no need for the minister to rap, the minister believes that there must be a more detailed explanation in the Sun Minister's compromise,...... ”

Cui Jingrong's words were concise and clear, which could not only make everyone in the palace understand the bad situation under the rule of the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing, but also quietly explain the essence of the problem.

"......, based on this, the establishment of the shipyard in Denglai and the construction of the fleet of sailors, the minister thought that the current Qingjiang and Longjiang shipyards did not have this ability, in contrast, the minister inspected two private shipyards in Ningbo - Chenxing Shipyard and Taineng Shipyard, although its scale is far less than Qingjiang and Longjiang shipyard, but its scheduling is strict, the process is standardized, and the craftsman's production attitude and ability are far better than the Ministry of Industry shipyard, far from Qingjiang Longjiang Shipyard can be compared,......"

"......, so the minister thinks that if the desired purpose and effect are to be achieved in Denglai on schedule, I am afraid that the original idea of relying on the Qingjiang Longjiang Shipyard is not feasible, and if the goal is to be achieved, it is necessary to attract the Jiangnan private ship manufacturer Jia to Denglai and Liaodong to set up shipyards, and if this purpose is to be realized, the imperial court needs to comprehensively consider how to let these businessmen go to ,...... voluntarily."

Cui Jingrong's words immediately caused a shock in the hall, not only the faces of the generals were ugly, but especially the governor of Denglai, Wang Ziteng, could not hold back his anger.

He was not very willing to let him go to Denglai as the governor before, but he also knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and the imperial court would not let a military general serve as the governor in one place for a long time to take charge of the military and political power, and Niu Jizong had to leave the capital camp, so the position of the governor of Xuanda had to be vacated, and he could only go to Denglai to serve as the newly established governor.

Fortunately, the imperial court and the emperor talked about the importance of Denglai and Liaonan, that is, to build Denglai into the backing base of Liaodong in the future, and the formation of a naval fleet is inevitable, on the one hand, it is necessary to open up the logistics line between Liaonan and Denglai, on the other hand, Denglai will monopolize trade with Korea and Japan in the future, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Ziteng is willing to let the governor of Xuanda go to Denglai, but now it seems that all this has become a flash in the pan.

If the shipyard can't be built, how can we talk about building a fleet of sailors to control the entire sea area to Liaonan, Korea and Japan? Without the Naval Fleet, this Governor of Denglai is almost no different from a commander-in-chief, what is the significance of him as the Governor of Denglai?

In the same way, if the waterway between Denglai and southern Liaoning is not smooth, then the transportation of logistical supplies, especially grain and grass, cannot be carried out by land, as is the case now.

In the face of the Jianzhou Jurchens annexed Ula Huifa and other departments, its troops have been directed at Liaoxi, and the Mongolian tribes such as Horqin in western Liaoxi have been eye-to-eye with the Jianzhou Jurchens, land transportation will face a great threat, not to mention, its transportation cost alone will make the Zhou household department miserable, so it is urgent to open the waterway transportation from Denglai to southern Liaoning.

This is also what the military department, the household department and the army generals tried to ensure, and this was also one of the most important conditions for the strategy of opening the sea at the beginning, otherwise the army and the northern scholars would not agree.

Everyone in the hall could feel the dissatisfaction from the western generals, and the leaders of the northern scholars such as Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Zheng Jizhi, and Wang Yongguang were also angry, and even Li Sancai, who had always had a close relationship with the Jiangnan scholars, frowned and remained silent.

If we fail to do this, how can we satisfy these northern scholars and generals in the DPRK and China, even the military department and the household department will not agree.

"Cui Qing, if this is the case, how can these Jiangnan businessmen go to Denglai to set up a shipyard? What about the Ministry of Industry shipyards? ”

Emperor Yonglong also knew that this issue was afraid that it would provoke a debate again, and the imperial court would inevitably have to make some concessions and compromises, and some actions would have to be made, but he had to pick a showdown, otherwise many subsequent things would not be able to advance.

"Emperor Qi, Feng Keng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, once had a suggestion to the minister, but the argument was quite big, and the minister did not dare to call the ,......"
