T-Scroll Section 65 Tongue Wars Confucianism
Many people are looking at the young man in front of him who is talking eloquently in front of a cadre of important ministers and the emperor with complicated eyes.
Many people knew that this guy was extraordinary, but when it came to this point, there was really no one to ignore him.
Lin Qingmin single-handedly broke out of the chaos surrounded by the people for help when he changed, he was only twelve years old, and he had already shown his bravery and courage, well, this can also be explained by his family history, growing up in the borderland, and not too many people know.
The palace tried to show its style, showed its edge at the Enrong banquet, and went all the way to the opening of the "Internal Reference", predicting the rebellion in Ningxia, and then the western expedition to quell the rebellion, all of which can barely be described in such words, well, after all, there will be some geniuses in the hands of every subject or every emperor.
But when the strategy of opening the sea to borrow money is proposed, no one can casually use an excellent or smart can be described, this is the real strategy of the world, especially for the current Great Zhou.
However, before today, many people's impressions were still at the level of hearsay, and the vast majority of people didn't know Feng Ziying, but today's hall already has some tongue-fighting demeanor.
Originally, it was a plan to attract businessmen to open shipyards in Denglai and southern Liaoning, but now it has been deviated from the topic of setting up a silver village, and it has also aroused great interest from the cabinet princes, and everyone has been brought into the ditch, full of curiosity about this unprecedented "function" of the silver village.
Ye Xianggao realized that if this problem continued to be broken, it was estimated that Feng Ziying, this kid, would still be able to talk about it, many people in this hall didn't know how to make a living economically, and they were so confused by him that they really thought that it could solve all problems, and even Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji, who were well-informed, were a bit of a citrus in the clouds.
"Ziying, let's discuss this matter later, how to set up the silver village, whether the household can open an account, even if it is opened, it means that it is not impossible to save 350,000 taels of silver, come down and discuss it." Dropping the words first, so that those opponents who were worried about being fooled in were much more at ease, Ye Xianggao turned to the topic: "In addition to this, what else does Ziying ask for the support of the imperial court?" ”
"Lord Shoufu, if Yinzhuang's side just means something, then the students feel that they may need to order from the imperial court to stimulate and encourage the merchants."
Feng Ziying knew that the matter of Yinzhuang was not something that could be explained for a moment or a half, so she changed the topic very rationally.
"The meaning of the imperial court's order is also very clear, since it is necessary to build a naval fleet, then the imperial court must come up with a strategy, such as three or five years, how many types of ships are needed for the naval fleet to be built, and what are the technical and equipping requirements for each type of ship, such as our current sand boat fortune ship in the Great Zhou Dynasty, or Xiyi ship, whether there is a need to set up artillery on the top, how much, there must be a clear requirement,......
"After determining the plan of the naval fleet, you can clearly tell these merchants that the ships will be built in southern Liaoning and Denglai, and whoever sets up a shipyard here can get the loan support of Yinzhuang and the order of the imperial court, and the imperial court will also pay a deposit in advance and pay according to the progress of the ship's construction, and also welcome the shipyards to compete with each other, of course, in the early stage, they will definitely give some order support,......"
Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe have already understood, Feng Ziying's support method is also a bit novel, the imperial court orders, pays a deposit, and then the shipyard produces, and finally pays in stages according to the construction progress and quality, which is also a good way.
Let these shipyards have business first, and then let these shipyards take over some work from other private maritime fleets, so that these shipyards can survive.
Of course, in the end, it depends on what kind of trade with North Korea and Japan can reach in the future, and whether it can support the livelihood of these shipyards.
"In addition, in view of the fact that the construction of the shipyard can not be completed in a year and a half, and it takes more time to build ships that meet the requirements of the imperial navy fleet, but during this period, how to open up the transportation line between southern Liaoning and Denglai first, Xia Guan suggested that some of the original Fujian, Zhejiang and Nanzhi maritime merchants can be attracted and recruited to go north, and still take the way of ordering goods from the imperial court, well, just one way, that is, let them transport grain, cotton cloth, ordnance and other materials from Jiangnan to southern Liaoning through Denglai, and the imperial court will pay a certain freight, At the same time, the granting of concessions for trade with North Korea as incentives is also considered a form of compensation,......"
Qi Yongtai frowned, "Ziying, North Korea and our Great Zhou have always been tributary trade, once this kind of concession trade is opened, I'm afraid North Korea will not agree to ,......"
"Won't agree? They will definitely not agree, these tributary trade has always been controlled by their upper layer, and then stripped one layer to the bottom, and the number is small, but for our Great Zhou, this is far from enough, now the power of the Jianzhou Jurchens has increased greatly, and the North Korean side has been a little unstable, so trade is not only a way to 'close' the two sides, but also a means to restrict and influence them, if you don't agree, you have to agree! ”
In the face of Qi Yongtai, although Feng Ziying's tone was submissive, the meaning of his words was undisguised, the scale of trade with the DPRK should be increased, and it must be controlled in the hands of Da Zhou.
Feng Ziying has learned that North Korea's current population is about 8 million, and although its consumption power is poor, it complements the Great Zhou, especially the goods from Jiangnan are very popular in North Korea, and North Korea's grain, ginseng, furs, cattle, and metals are also in high demand in the Great Zhou.
However, in general, the amount of trade with North Korea is far less than that with Japan, which can only be said to be a consolation that is better than nothing, but the important thing is that by opening up this trade route, its influence on North Korea can be increased day by day, and its future will be prevented from falling to the Jianzhou Jurchens.
In addition, in Feng Ziying's view, Da Zhou can't passively bear the attack and pressure from the Jianzhou Jurchens, and must take the initiative to attack, so starting to negotiate North Korean trade now, and then infiltrating it economically, is a very important layout.
In the future, it will be of great benefit to attack the other savage Jurchen tribes in the northeast of Korea, and then contain and curb the expansion rate of the Jianzhou Jurchens from behind, and even strive to open a hole in the backyard of the Jianzhou Jurchens that will always be difficult to heal, and even control the Ezo land in the more distant future.
Of course, it is still a little far away to say these now, even if it is Emperor Yonglong or Ye Xianggao and Wang Ziteng, they can't think of it so far, and if they say it now, it will be regarded as a fool's dream, for them, as long as they keep Liaodong and resist the offensive of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, they will probably be satisfied.
Qi Yongtai already felt Feng Ziying's toughness.
For extraterritorial, Feng Ziying's attitude has always been distinct, no matter which nationality is summer, as long as you accept the Chinese Han culture and are willing to become a part of the Chinese nation, then it is easy to say, whether it is interests or force, all in all, as Feng Ziying said, knives and guns or silk cloth, porcelain and tea, which one to choose depends on them.
Feng Ziying's tone and views are not quite in line with the appetite of the ministers, but they are very in line with the minds of the generals, but over the years, the Great Zhou has been on the defensive outside, and the mood has been much softer than when the Great Zhou opened the country.
However, Emperor Yonglong admired Feng Ziying's posture very much, but he knew very well the thoughts of his group of ministers, so he could only sigh in his heart.
As expected, Fang Congzhe frowned, "Ziying, your attitude will make our Great Zhou lose moral respect among the neighboring vassals, it is not advisable to ,......"
"Lord Fang, I don't know if I mean them, but I heard a sentence from overseas Xiyi people, it is a common proverb on their side, and I think it makes sense, it was originally intended to be used in the "Internal Reference", well, it is such a sentence, the truth is within the range of artillery, which probably means that etiquette and rules can only be regulated and determined by firearms and artillery,......"
Feng Ziying's words made Fang Congzhe's face pale, obviously angry, and the beard under his chin was even more upturned, "Barbarian words, barbarian words!" How can it be used in our Chinese ceremonial state?! Riding the wind, is Qingtan Academy teaching these articles? ”
Without waiting for Qi Yongtai to answer, Feng Ziying followed: "Lord Fang, you have misunderstood, I mean that if these barbarian states all come to us with such an attitude, when their firecrackers and artillery are aimed at our chests and heads, and we are holding the sage book to reason with them, I think it is undoubtedly playing the piano to the cow, and the best way is to force them to sit down and listen to our reasoning and etiquette, so as to show the demeanor of our central country of the Great Zhou!" ”
A cadre of martial arts generals listened to it happily, even some Wenchen also felt that Fang Congzhe's views were a little too pedantic, and Feng Ziying's views were too utilitarian and radical, which made people sound a little inconsistent with the standards of a scholar, but they also had their own reasons, and they really needed to be divided into different objects.
Thinking about facing the Jianzhou Jurchens or Tatars, or the Japanese Kou, it would be ridiculous to try to persuade each other by relying on the book of the sage.
I'm afraid that it really takes more powerful guns and artillery to make them "quiet" and "listen to the teachings of the saints" seriously.
was blocked by Feng Ziying for a while and didn't know how to argue, Fang Congzhe was furious, but if he continued to argue, the other party might have to use the Jurchens as an example, which was too slap in the face.
Fortunately, Qi Yongtai interjected, so that he was not too embarrassed.
"Ziying, hearing you say this, I'm afraid you have all these specific strategies in your heart, right?" Qi Yongtai changed his words, "If there is, you might as well write it out specifically, I think there must be a lot of debatable things here." ”
