Chapter 369 - Government or Private

*******

On the side of Zhongshan, there are large sumacs, paulownia trees, and palm trees, arranged in rows and lush greenery, with a total of tens of thousands of trees.

These trees have their own uses, the lacquer tree is used to cut raw lacquer, the tung tree is used to extract tung oil, and the palm tree is used to make palm cables from palm hair. Lacquer, tung oil, and palm rope are all indispensable items for shipbuilding.

In addition, a large number of cedar trees, pine trees, teak trees, lattice trees, saloon trees, cone trees, cup split incense, persimmon trees, etc., are also planted in the Zhongshan area, which were planted for the shipbuilding of Longjiang Shipyard.

Since Jiajing, the Longjiang Shipyard has been basically abandoned, and the trees planted for the shipyard have not been cut down for more than 100 years, and some have even been 200 years old.

Qin Mu estimated that this was the first time that human beings had planted trees on a large scale with such a plan, and he was very happy to see it, and he immediately said to Han Zanzhou: "Since these trees have been under the management of the Nanjing Internal Supervision Department, then everything is business as usual, starting from next year, we must continue to expand the scale of tree planting, and plant the foothills of Zhongshan Mountain, as well as within three miles of the foot of the mountain, all fir trees, pine trees, grid trees, etc., for the needs of the shipyard." ”

When Han Zan heard this, he immediately smiled, and agreed repeatedly: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Anyway, you don't have to plant trees yourself, anyway, as long as you can please Qin Mu, it is your ultimate goal, Han Zan Zhou is worried that there is nothing to do, does King Qin plan to put Longjiang Shipyard under the internal supervision to manage, this is a fat difference.

Qin Muha said with a smile: "I won't let you plant in vain, these trees will be considered the industry of the Internal Supervision Department in the future, and they will always be sold for a lot of money if they are sold to the shipyard in the future." ”

"Sell for money?"

Han Zanzhou's mind was a little bent, these trees were originally planted for the shipyard, how could they be sold for money? Not only Han Zanzhou couldn't figure it out, but even Gu Junen, Du Yinxi, Qin Qiubai and others who accompanied him were also inexplicable.

Qin Mu traveled along the foot of the mountain to beat his horse. He said to the courtiers who followed him, "Let's go, go back to the city." ”

After taking a turn outside Jinling City, Qin Mu was finally willing to enter the city.

Fortunately, only the Forbidden City was burned down a few days ago, and the central government offices on both sides of the thousand-step corridor of the royal street outside Chengtianmen are still intact, and the officials of the six departments who moved from Wuchang have moved into these official offices;

Qin Mu entered the city in a low-key manner, and saw that the thousand-step corridor of the Royal Street was already a busy scene, the military newspapers everywhere, and the performance of officials from all over the country were like snowflakes flying, and the horses were galloping.

Especially in front of the two yamen, the military department and the household department. Cars and horses are even more congested.

The war has not ended, and all cities in Jiangsu and Zhejiang urgently need to send troops and officers to take over the garrison and governance, and it is precisely because of the efficient operation of the six ministries and the cabinet that Qin Mu can withdraw to Jiangyin and Yangzhou in this situation.

Qin Munei returned to Zhongshan Palace, Yang Zhi took his son and Li Xiangjun and his daughters out to greet them, they also arrived in Jinling the day before yesterday, and after a few months, everyone's faces were full of joy.

Seeing that his son could walk staggeringly, Qin Mu couldn't help but be overjoyed. He picked it up, flicked it and said with a smile: "Son, it's good, come." Let Daddy kiss it. ”

The father and son get together less and leave more, and the son is a little strange to him, so he cried loudly without giving face, twisting his little body to find his mother. It made Qin Mu, the father, quite embarrassed.

Yang Zhi wore a satin palace dress embroidered with madder and red purple magnolia, and the cloud temples were inserted with white jade inlaid red coral beads and double knots Ruyi hairpin, revealing a quiet and elegant state in the luxury. As soon as her son cried, she hurriedly came up and coaxed: "Ye'er, don't cry, let Daddy hug me." ”

But it was useless for her to coax, the kid still cried non-stop, and his little body was about to go to his mother's arms, Qin Mu had no choice but to hand over his son to her.

This is the turn of Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan to come up together to make a salute, the two of them are peerless, the country is fragrant, and the fragrance is fragrant.

It's a pity that the cabinet is very annoying, the family has just reunited, and at this time he sent a large basket of music for him to review, Qin Mu wanted to scold, but thinking that the world was undecided, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be lifted, so he had to let people carry the big basket back to the study, and after eating some snacks in a hurry, he began to bury his head in reviewing the music.

Yang Zhi was empathetic, and asked Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan to come, one burned incense and served tea, the other grinded ink and laid paper, accompanied by beauties, red sleeves added fragrance, and it was not boring to approve the music, and the work efficiency was quite high.

He sent someone to summon Sima An and Xu Yingjie to discuss the matter, and before the two arrived, he also warmed up with Li Xiangjun and Dong Xiaowan, two beauties.

When a girl outside the door came to report that Sima An and Xu Yingjie had arrived, the two beauties retreated with a blushing face.

Sima An's expression was calm, but Xu Yingjie was a little worried, and there was a big mess on the top, although Qin Mu didn't blame him, he was still afraid that Qin Mu had a mustard in his heart.

"Mr. Sima, Xu Qing, sit down." Qin Mu said in harmony.

"King Xie Qin sits."

After the two of them sat down on half of their buttocks, Sima An first asked, "King Qin has just returned to Beijing, I don't know what happened to Zhaochen?" ”

It's okay if he doesn't say that, Qin Mu can't help but feel angry in his heart, this king has just returned to Beijing and has not yet breathed, so you will send a large basket of music, and now I know that this king has just returned to Beijing?

"Ahem!" Qin Mu coughed twice quietly, and said, "Let you come over, mainly to talk about the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard. ”

Qin Mu ran around the city, went to see the shipyard, and went to visit the woods, Sima An had already guessed that he might be talking about the shipyard, and he already had a case in his heart, so he immediately said: "King Qin, now that the palace city has not been built, the war in Jiangbei has started again, and Bolo in Jiangnan is still fleeing. Chen thought that at this time, the large-scale reconstruction of Longjiang Bao Shipyard was too hasty, and the shipbuilding matters were currently sufficient with Yuezhou Shipyard. ”

"These kings all know the way, that's why they came to you to consult."

"King Qin has other plans?"

"Yes, this king has some other ideas, Zheng Zhilong is still eyeing Chongming Island, but my Great Qin Water Master is helpless, and if you want to pacify Fujian, a strong water division is indispensable. In addition, in the future Northern Expedition, if there is a strong naval division, our family can lead the Tartar forces to the Central Plains, and use the naval division to transport troops directly to Yanjing or Shanhaiguan, in short, it will have the upper hand strategically. The construction of the sailor division is not an overnight effort, so it can not be delayed any longer, and the Longjiang Bao Shipyard must be rebuilt as soon as possible. ”

What Qin Mu said, Sima An also thought it was very reasonable, but now was really not the time, so his brows began to wrinkle.

Qin Mu didn't wait for him to refute, and then said: "The imperial court now has no spare strength to rebuild the shipyard, this king knows it, so this king plans to find another way and hand over the Longjiang shipyard to the wealthy merchants to build. ”

Sima An and Xu Yingjie were a little dumbfounded when they heard this, throughout the dynasties, the imperial court set up shipbuilding affairs, and the imperial court ships were built by the official shipyard, and they had never heard of handing over the shipping affairs to the merchants.

"The king has thought about it, and the construction of a shipyard by the imperial court not only costs a lot of money, but also easily breeds corruption after a large amount of money is invested in the shipyard, and the efficiency is also extremely low. It is better to leave the shipyard to the merchant to operate, and the imperial court only needs to place a shipbuilding order with the shipyard, so that not only does it save worry and effort, but also saves a lot of expenses. Not only the Longjiang Shipyard, but even the Yueyang Shipyard, Benwang also intends to sell it to merchants to operate. ”

This happened too suddenly, Sima An's mind was full of thoughts, he pondered for a while and said: "King Qin, this matter may be inappropriate, businessmen seek profits, shipbuilding is a major matter of the country, how can it be handed over to merchants"

"Ha Lu haha" Qin Mu interrupted Sima An and said: "Don't talk about this set of things, it's not profitable to be early, but it's not just businessmen who pursue profits, who in this world doesn't pursue profits?" There are many drawbacks in the government-run shipyard, and you must know that this king is too lazy to say it, and it can avoid many drawbacks by leaving it to the businessman to operate;

Well, you can think about it first, but the Longjiang Bao shipyard must be rebuilt as soon as possible, and if you cannot find sufficient reasons to oppose it, this king will do so;

Xu Qing, you let out some rumors first, see if there are any rich businessmen willing to operate the shipyard, tell them, don't worry about the lack of ships to build, once the Longjiang shipyard is handed over to private individuals to operate, the imperial court will no longer set up official shipyards in the future, and the ships needed by the imperial court will be ordered from them. ”
