"Master Qi, this is just a rough idea of the students, how to operate it, there must be a lot of strategies that need to be refined." Feng Ziying replied respectfully: "The student proposed it today, just hoping that the princes of the imperial court can consider it from this aspect, of course, how to operate it concretely, it is still necessary to ask professionals from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry to discuss." ”

Qi Yongtai glanced at him deeply, "Ziying, you don't have to push it out, since you brought it up, the Ministry of Industry and Household Department will definitely come in, but many of them are unprecedented, you, the initiator, I'm afraid you have to put forward more ideas, and you can also make this matter more efficient, haven't you been saying that the situation in Liaodong is urgent?" Then do it as soon as possible! ”

Qi Yongtai's words were undoubtedly very heavy, and Wang Ziteng couldn't help but come out: "Your Majesty, the minister is ordered by the governor of Denglai Liaonan military affairs, but Denglai Liaonan's shipping has been abandoned for a long time, that is, Denglai Liaonan fishermen are also mainly fishing in the offshore sea, so as Feng Xiu said just now, first, we must prepare to build a shipyard as soon as possible, and second, we must first restore this route, and there are many maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang, among them there are many people who have big ships, if the imperial court can let them go north to help, they can quickly restore this route, At that time, once the transportation line from Jiangnan to southern Liaoning via Denglai is Datong, the supply of eastern Liaodong will no longer need to go north from Beijing to western Liaoning,......

According to the original intention of setting up the governor of Denglai, the first task of the governor of Denglai was that the two prefectures of Denglai and southern Liaoning should be used as the reserve base of the Jiliao front in the future, and the battalion army could be quickly pulled up once Liaodong was tight in the future.

The premise of this is to restore the Denglai-southern Liaoning route, transport supplies, and even more importantly, allow the Denglai Navy Division to carry the Denglai army to land anywhere on the line from western Liaoning to southern Liaoning, greatly strengthen the mobility of the Denglai army, and at the same time allow the Denglai Navy fleet to deter Korea and Japan, and protect and control the future trade route between Denglai and North Korea and Japan.

But the prince was disappointed when he arrived at Denglai.

Not only was the defense army of Denglai and the two provinces weak, but the key was that the original Denglai Navy fleet also suffered huge losses in the Luliang Naval Battle of Renchen, and the generals like Chen Lan and Deng Zilong were all deceased, and there was no one to manage this group of sailors.

In the past ten years, the main defense focus of the imperial court has shifted to the prevention of the Jurchens on land, so the sailors are basically in a state of abandonment and idleness, and the remnants of the ships have been idle for ten years, basically unavailable, and there are still thousands of sailors and soldiers, but they have basically been reduced to the guards of the coastal guard forts, so if you want to rebuild the navy fleet, the cost is huge and unimaginable.

Of course, for Wang Ziteng, as long as there is silver, it is not a problem to rebuild, although thousands of sailors and soldiers are getting old, but after all, there are not a few experienced people, although the senior generals are gone, but there are many middle and low-level officers, so there is still some foundation in the manpower, only the ships and shipbuilding workshops, which is the most important.

He, the governor of Denglai, wants to make a career, and wants to make people realize that his prince Teng is not in vain in this position, so he must complete the task entrusted to him by the imperial court beautifully.

And from Feng Ziying's ambition in today's words, in Wang Ziteng's view, this is another sign that represents the civil official system, well, unlike the views of Ye Fang and the others who only value Jiangnan, but represent Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Zhang Jingqiu and others, this is exactly what Wang Ziteng needs.

It can be said that in a sense, the future prospects of his prince Teng and the goals of these northern scholars and civil officials have been diminishing and approaching, and they may even be both prosperous and lost.

Wang Ziteng thought a little too much, or expanded Feng Ziying's views, but it didn't mean that Feng Ziying didn't have this intention, but Feng Ziying's appetite was far greater than he imagined.

Of course, the strategy of the north for the Jurchens, Korea, and Japan is indispensable, but the opening of the sea and colonization in the south is also indispensable, so in Feng Ziying's view, the opening of the sea should be a comprehensive opening of the sea.

It's just that the conditions are not ripe now, and the conditions in the north are slightly inferior to those in the south, and from this perspective and timeline, the north is more important at present, so he advocates using the administrative resources of the imperial court to support the northern route and all kinds of facilities to be built as soon as possible.

Moreover, Wang Ziteng also heard some wind direction from Feng Ziying's words, that is, Feng Ziying was already a little disdainful of the ships and models of the original Great Zhou Naval Division, and thought that Xiyi's ships and naval fleet models might be more promising, which also made him very curious.

He has been in the north, and he has not had much contact with the merchants in Guangzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang, and he doesn't know much about the situation of Xiyi ships, but he knows that Feng Ziying has always been a good word and hits the shot, so he values Feng Ziying's opinion very much.

Since Feng Ziying admires the model of Xiyi ships and sailor fleets so much, it must be good at it, and Feng Ziying's tone is also to control the trade between Korea and Japan with this sailor fleet, if there is no strong enough sailor strength, North Korea will be fine, but on the Japanese side, I'm afraid it will not be so simple.

Therefore, Wang Ziteng really wanted to talk to Feng Ziying immediately after coming down, on the one hand, he wanted to learn from Feng Ziying about the thoughts of the ministers in the Northland, and on the other hand, he really wanted to touch Feng Ziying's long-term goals for the future prospects of Denglai and the completion of the sailor fleet.

Now that he came out to show his attitude to Emperor Yonglong, it was actually a disguised overture to Feng Ziying and the Beidi Wenchen behind him.

Who is Emperor Yonglong, he immediately understood the meaning of Wang Ziteng's words.

Today, Feng Ziying's series of suggestions in the hall are too rich, even Emperor Yonglong had long expected that Feng Ziying would make a big move, but this point of view still taught everyone here a solid lesson, so that Emperor Yonglong couldn't understand where so many of this guy's ideas and opinions came from?

Qi Yongtai is a square Beidi scholar, although Qiao Yingjia is lively, but it is impossible for his thinking to go deep into such economic matters, after all, they are all Shilin literati, and it is impossible to be so familiar with the affairs of businessmen.

"Wang Qing, today's accounting discussion, the focus is this Denglai - the support of southern Liaoning's logistics supply for the defense of Liaodong, Feng Qing's idea is also groundbreaking, which has never been tried and thought about in this dynasty or even the previous dynasty, Feng Qing also said before that this is just a rough idea, how to operate I also think that there are many problems to be solved, and such things also need to be considered in the long run,......"

"......, but today I also have a clear attitude, that is, Denglai-Liaonan transportation line must be opened, Denglai must become the most powerful backing for the defense of Liaodong, the strategy of opening the sea should not only be launched in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the imperial court should support it in the north, so that it can help the defense of the north and the national economy and people's livelihood, specific matters, Ye Qing Fangqing, the cabinet and the ministers should work together with the six ministries and even Denglai Liaodong, carefully discuss, in order to come up with a reliable and feasible strategy,......"

The court was dispersed.

As soon as Feng Ziying walked out of the noon gate, she was stopped by Qi Yongtai.

"Qi Shi."

Qi Yongtai's expression was satisfied and a little relieved, and a little inexplicably complicated.

"Well, Ziying, good, well done."

"Master Qi, it also depends on the teachings of you, Master Qiao, and Palace Master." Feng Ziying was respectful.

Today, this limelight is big, and it can be seen from the last words of Emperor Yonglong, it is estimated that the emperor has also moved his mind, from the initial opening of the Denglai-Liaonan route to ensure the military logistics support of Liaodong, it has been extended to control the trade routes of Korea and Japan, and then affect the strategy of the whole of Korea and Japan.

The scope and interests involved in this have expanded almost geometrically, not only has the military's interest increased greatly, but also the entire north, especially Shandong, Liaodong and Beizhili, and it is no wonder that Qi Yongtai and Wang Ziteng have to go into battle shirtless to support Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying believed that as soon as this court meeting came, the entire court hall would flock to each other.

The scholars in the north saw the hope of monopolizing the trade of Korea and Japan and building Denglai and southern Liaoning into the bases for opening the sea in the north, and could also win more attention and benefits for the north.

Similarly, the southern scholars also saw that the interests involved in the north were so great, so what should Jiangnan do?

A large number of Jiangnan merchants and maritime trade merchants will be encouraged and attracted to the north, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for the Jiangnan gentry and merchants, the opportunity is that they can take advantage of the opportunity to expand their power and influence in the north, the challenge is that such a large number of businessmen may be bound to the interests of the north after going north, and their spokespersons may converge with the interests of the northern scholars and ministers, and then work together, in a sense, they may even "betray" their original "attributes".

Of course, what is more important is that Feng Ziying proposed to control and expand in the new vision, as if he wanted to use a posture of the Great Zhou to rule the Quartet, rather than the original simple etiquette and righteousness to educate the world, and the ambiguous attitude of Emperor Yonglong seemed to be a little moved, and the cabinet of ministers disagreed, but it was by no means the original categorical opposition, so can Jiangnan also use this strategy to manage and attack Nanyang?

If this can be done, it means that the national policy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has undergone a subtle change in political morality, from the original shame of mentioning the word "profit", and it is necessary to take "profit" first, even if this "benefit" is more forced by the predicament of the imperial court.

But as long as such a trend is opened, can Luzon, Ryukyu, Toban, Manraka, Annam, and Dongwu all have a prospect?

It seemed that a better, broader world full of opportunities was slowly unfolding in front of the gentry and merchants.
