Sending Qi Yongtai away, Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to move, but saw a waiter in the distance already waiting.

Looking around, there were no other people, and by this time the ministers had basically left.

Qi Yongtai kept him and talked for a while, telling him that maybe the first assistant and the second assistant, that is, the cabinet officials, should prepare to have a "three-hall trial" for him, and talk to him about the Denglai-southern Liaoning transportation route and the matter of attracting Jiangnan merchants to the north, and of course the matter of Yinzhuang by the way.

Obviously, Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe both realized the extraordinary significance of this silver village, and it is estimated that they will also spend some time to find some people in the industry to understand the operation mode of the silver bank money shop and then discuss it with themselves.

"Father-in-law Zhou?" Feng Ziying had seen this chamberlain, and knew that his surname was Zhou, and he should be a person who was often around Emperor Yonglong, but his quality was not too high.

Feng Ziying kept a certain distance from the attendants beside Emperor Yonglong.

Although these chamberlains have always been very deferential to themselves, and even have some flattery, as a civil official, he knows very well that he can't pretend to be a color for this kind of person.

These are some characters who climb along the pole, if you are too close to him or kind, I am afraid that he will still think that you can be bullied, if you maintain a clear attitude that is not far away, he will be a little in awe.

Especially like his current identity, even if these chamberlains want to make a small report or say something about themselves, they need to weigh whether it is enough first.

The emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not very polite to the inner servants, and then they are favored internal servants, the emperor can give a pot of wine and a white silk to death with a word, and he will not even give you the opportunity to see each other again.

These chamberlains are also extremely observant characters, and it is their capital to survive by praising the high and stepping on the low to see the wind and make the rudder, so Feng Ziying will not have any good color for these people at least now.

"Lord Xiu, the emperor has an order, please come to the east study." The waiter surnamed Zhou was full of smiles.

Of course, Feng Ziying will not deliberately embarrass or treat the other party coldly, and the eunuchs in the interior are not all hateful-looking, there are also some loyal and upright people, but the mutilation of their bodies and their long-term life in the harem make their value for gold and silver goods and their awe of power more prominent, so the proportion is relatively small, and their behavior is more explicit.

"Now?" Feng Ziying was a little surprised, it was almost noon, did she want to give food again?

Feng Ziying doesn't like to eat food, although this seems to be the emperor's favor for herself, but the taste is not pleasant, they are all warm dishes, and they are not to her liking.

"Yes, Lord Cultivator, please." The chamberlain surnamed Zhou was very surprised by Feng Ziying's attitude, this one is in the blessing and doesn't know the blessing, why doesn't he seem to be very happy to choose this time to meet the emperor, if he doesn't get it, he will give food, that is the glory that people can blow for a lifetime.

Feng Ziying frowned, and could only follow the other party to re-enter the palace and then to the east study.

Emperor Yonglong has changed out of his court clothes and changed into ordinary casual clothes, but it can be seen that he is in a very good mood, "Feng Qing is here, give me a seat." ”

"Feng Keng knocked to see the emperor." Seeing this formation, Feng Ziying estimated that she was afraid that she would have to eat here again.

"I also know that Feng Qing has just come back from Jiangnan, and he should have rested for a day or two, and I also heard Huang Ruliang say that he has granted you a two-day holiday, but it seems that Feng Qing is afraid that he will not be able to be quiet, but I am afraid that after going back today, Feng Qing will be even more unpeaceful."

Emperor Yonglong's words were ridiculous, this is to have such an attitude towards extremely close courtiers, and the waiter surnamed Zhou, who was waiting outside the study, secretly raised the status of this Feng Xiu by several levels.

Seeing the emperor's gaze swept over, the attendant surnamed Zhou immediately took a few steps away, keeping that he could see the situation in the study at any time and not hear the words in the study, and on the other side of the study, there was also a guard who kept his attention.

Feng Ziying could only smile bitterly when she heard Emperor Yonglong say this.

"Back to the emperor, the minister has already remembered with Master Cui on the road, this opening of the sea to lead Jiangnan businessmen to Shandong and Liaodong, will definitely affect the sight of Jiangnan and Beidi, each has its own plans, but in any case, as long as it can be beneficial to the imperial court, the national economy and people's livelihood, and the stability of Liaodong, there are some difficulties and problems, which can also be overcome and solved."

Emperor Yonglong liked Feng Ziying's attitude very much, he did not avoid questions, but he dared to show his attitude, compared to many pretentious and thoughtful but forward-looking old people in the court, it really made people feel comfortable.

"Well, although the princes have some different opinions, they are all old and seek the country, so don't be dissatisfied,......"

Emperor Yonglong also knew that although Feng Ziying's point of view was very innovative, no one had thought about it before, let alone done so, whether it could be done or not, no one could say for sure, and once it was unfavorable, it would affect the layout of the entire imperial court, and it would also pose a blow to the reputation and prestige of the imperial court, so it was impossible to be too cautious.

But prudence does not mean that it will not be done, and the current situation of Da Zhou has to be changed, it can only be said that before doing it, it is necessary to consider it as thoroughly as possible, and think of all possible problems and risks.

"Your Majesty, the minister has never been dissatisfied, and the reason why he is in the court and the cabinet is that the minister hopes that the court and the central government are well-informed and experienced, and can make a more perfect judgment and improvement on such a whim, so that they can not have too many mistakes in the implementation process in the future,......."

Seeing Feng Ziying's attitude, Emperor Yonglong also carefully observed the other party's expression, and saw that the other party didn't seem to be talking angrily, and his heart was much more steady.

"Feng Qing, I recruited you because I considered that some issues were not suitable to be declared in the court, but I was still a little puzzled, so I asked Feng Qing to explain my doubts for me,......"

This is the main topic, Feng Ziying actually guessed a little, most of which was related to the matter of Yinzhuang.

As for attracting and recruiting Jiangnan shipowners and maritime businessmen to the north, it seems more eye-catching, but it is not.

He had given this matter to Emperor Yonglong before, and he also obtained the tacit approval of Emperor Yonglong, otherwise it would be impossible for the Long Forbidden Lieutenant and the Criminal Department to let go, and it was a little unpleasant, and even that scene of assassination may have something to do with this matter.

"If the emperor has any questions, the ministers know everything."

Knowing in her heart, Feng Ziying did not panic and was calm.

"Okay, I want to ask, what is the biggest difficulty if we want to build Denglai and Liaonan into decent ship construction capacity within three years, and reach the hope of the imperial court?"

This question was really a bit surprising to Feng Ziying, he thought that the other party would ask Yinzhuang directly, but he didn't expect to ask about this matter, and it can be seen that this Yonglong Emperor really wants to do something, which makes him think a little higher about this emperor.

After a deep sigh, Feng Ziying said, "The emperor wants to ask how to achieve the goal of the imperial court as scheduled, right?" ”

Emperor Yonglong nodded silently.

"If it is just according to the pre-Renchen rebellion, it is not difficult, the Great Zhou ships follow the previous Ming Dynasty, basically the hard sail-based Guangchuan Fu ship, this kind of ship is suitable for offshore navigation, poor maneuverability, difficult to adapt to the far sea navigation, and used for the naval fleet is even more disadvantages, it is difficult to adapt to the current situation, especially in the face of the continuous arrival of the Xiyi people from the east, the Xiyi ships brought by it are more suitable than our original ships in all aspects, well, like their current Clark ship, In terms of carrying capacity, it can reach the scale of 1,000 to 1,500 materials regulated by the imperial court, which is extremely considerable, and this type of ship is more suitable for building and converting ships with artillery as weapons,......"

The official 1000 materials are equivalent to about 2500 materials of the civilian system, which is about 600 tons, and the European Clark large ship type in this era has generally had a carrying capacity of more than 700 tons, and the high one can reach 1000 tons, but this type of ship may not be economical and practical when sailing in the ocean.

Emperor Yonglong was not interested in these specific ship types and data, he was concerned about how to build the naval fleet in the future.

"Feng Qing, do you mean that if you build it according to the original requirements, it will not be difficult, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to win when encountering foreign enemies, but if you want to follow the standards of the Xiyi ship, then the investment and expenditure and even the time will be very long?"

Emperor Yonglong's comprehension ability is still very strong.

"Back to the emperor, that's probably what the minister means." Feng Ziying nodded, "However, the merchants going north can definitely bring a number of ships, some of which may not be suitable for the northern waters, but there are also many who can be qualified for the transportation between southern Liaoning and Denglai, after all, it is only a few hundred miles of sea, so for the time being, the route can still be operated first." ”

At present, both the Dutch and the Spaniards should have arrived in Nanyang, but Feng Ziying is not sure whether the Dutch have begun to set foot in Dongfan and Japan, as far as the current situation is concerned, no news has been received in this regard, but the appearance of the Francos, that is, the Spaniards and the Portuguese, in the territory of the Great Zhou has long appeared, and it is not even a new thing.

Although Tokugawa's Japan is still eyeing Korea and is still hostile to the Great Zhou, for now, it seems that it has not really shown any active attack on the Great Zhou, even if it is more likely to be more careful about the military generals or heirs under his command such as Tokugawa Hidetada.

Of course, Feng Ziying couldn't be sure if the butterfly wings he brought would affect some changes, and the appearance of the Great Zhou also meant that history had deviated, so he could only consider the worst.

And the strategy for Japan itself is also an aspect that Feng Ziying has long considered, so the naval fleet must be benchmarked against the highest standards of the current era, otherwise you will not be able to compete with the Dutch and Spaniards in the South Seas in the future.

"In the long run, we must emulate the shipbuilding technology of the Xiyi people and build ships that meet our needs, so we can give these merchants all kinds of support and support, but they must also build the ships we need, whether they are recruited or secretly studied or bought with a lot of money, in short, we must meet our requirements in accordance with our requirements and time regulations."

Feng Ziying's categorical tone made Emperor Yonglong a little shocked, and he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Feng Qing, but can you do this?" When I heard you say this, I think there are a lot of things that need to be done in the middle, can I have time to do it? ”

"Your Majesty, our biggest enemy is still the Jurchens, but the Jurchens do not have a sailor, so we still have time at this point, the short-term goal of our sailor is North Korea and Japan, and the long-term goal is Nanyang, so we can take a multi-pronged approach to make shipbuilding and open up the southern Liaoning-Denglai route go hand in hand and complement each other."

Feng Ziying knows that she needs to give the other party a reassurance, this emperor is impatient but can forbear, seems to be tough, but sometimes he is suspicious and not confident, which is a very complex personality performance.
