"The revenue of Maritime Service will increase this year!" Chen An swears to guarantee.

The debate over the marine policy of the Song Dynasty has lasted for two days. The important officials generally feel that they have suppressed too many resources on the navy, and the uncertainty of maritime trade has made the conservative faction a little worried.

"But once something happens at sea, it will be lost. So do you have to trade slowly to go to sea?" Wang Anshi's words made Chen An want to jump into the river.

Isn't this radical? How come he transformed into a conservative?

As a supporter and planner of marine policy, Chen An must give an answer.

He said firmly: "There are not many merchant ships going to sea, really not many. If the size of the navy was not able to be able to escort a larger scale, this merchant ship would have tripled the scale... and this is the result of most merchants waiting and watching.

Everyone, if this batch of merchant ships returns with full load, Hangzhou and Guangzhou will become the darlings of merchants in the future, and countless goods will gather in the above two places... and the benefits brought by this, such as taxation, will make Baoxiang forget his worries."

Bao Zheng was driven back to recuperate because he worked too much in the Sansi.

What if the sea trade brings huge benefits?

Bao Zheng will go crazy.

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "What will happen to the great cannibal? Merchant ships go to sea and don't go to sea, but will warships go to sea make the great cannibal feel threatened? You must know that they have been scattered on the sea for hundreds of years, so the Song Dynasty is confident of responding to their provocations? If they cannot, then they should slowly take action."

He is mainly concerned with this.

Later during his reign, he decisively promoted Wang Shao and regarded solving the northwest problem of the Song Dynasty as its top priority.

The Song Dynasty spent several years successfully expanding the borders in the Hehuang region, thus realizing the strategy of attacking the Xixia people from both front and back.

In March of the sixth year of Xining, Wang Shao captured Hezhou. In the following month, he traveled nearly two thousand miles, captured Hehuang and other places, killing the enemy and capturing countless...

The above is called "Hehuang Kaibian".

Wang Anshi is not a reckless person. He will wait for the opportunity and then give the enemy a heavy blow.

In order to show caution, Chen An pretended to think about it.

In fact, he has thought about these things many times, and there are some vague history to learn from, so he is fearless.

"The Great Cannibal was very powerful before, but the water battle... let's say that." Chen An pointed to Fu Bi next to him and said, "Fu should know that the water battle in the past was mainly about jumping gangs, that is, the warship was a tool for consigning soldiers. He shot with a long-range bow and arrow, and jumped gangs when he was close..."

Fu Bi was a little unhappy when he pointed at him, and said, "I used to have a stick..."

"Yes, but as the warship becomes bigger and bigger, the stick is useless."

Fu Bi nodded, expressing his approval of this statement.

Wang Anshi suddenly said in surprise: "I forgot that there are gunpowder bullets now in the Song Dynasty... Yes, if the gunpowder bullets are thrown out, those enemies will probably be destroyed by the blow."

Chen An said reservedly: "Prince, you have forgotten something."

Zeng Gongliang was editing the book, so he was the first to react, "sulphur bomb."

"Yes." Chen An said lightly: "For warships, fire is the enemy that scares them the most. In the Battle of Red Cliff, Shu and Wu joined forces to destroy the Cao Wei naval army with fire attack. At that time, they relied on fire ships, but the Song Dynasty had turbulent bombs, which could be thrown out by a catapult. As long as they were hit, the enemy could only ask for blessings..."

"With this powerful weapon, why did the Song Dynasty navy still fear the enemy?"

Chen An said with great enthusiasm: "The Song Dynasty should take the initiative to go to sea to trade. Merchants can not only bring back money, but also discover many treasures."

"What baby?" Zhao Shu was a little curious, "I always heard that there were treasures overseas, but I was not Qin Emperor, so I naturally didn't want to look for immortals."

Qin Shihuang sent people to search for immortals overseas, which gave many legends in later generations and was also a negative rumor.

“Gold and silver mine.”

Chen An knew that if he didn't get any benefits, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty would not look at the sea differently.

"where?"

Zhao Shu asked lazily.

Everyone likes gold and silver. If the Song Dynasty had huge reserves of gold and silver, there would be no need for subsidies for each stake of money in Anxiang, and there would be confidence in how much paper money could be distributed.

Gold and silver!

Zhao Shu was depressed and felt that the Song Dynasty he took over was a mess.

Too poor!

Chen An came from the gate of Mangshan. Those people were elusive and could not say what else they knew.

Mostly they are somewhere overseas, and it is extremely difficult to find.

“Japan.”

Zhao Shu's eyes were flying around, trying to find something to smash the kid half to death.

"real."

Chen An felt the evil spirit and quickly raised his hand to swear, "I guarantee that it is true. There is really a lot of gold and silver in Japan, and they didn't find it themselves."

Shi Jian Yinshan took hundreds of years to start digging and smelting. Now he took it out in advance, which can be considered a good thing for the Song Dynasty.

"Um……"

Zhao Shu pondered and said, "We need to see this matter slowly."

In a country, it is impossible for Chen An to start acting when he says that Japan has gold and silver. That's a joke.

Including going overseas trade, it was a successful experience of being a great cannibal, but even so, the monarch and ministers in the court still discussed for a long time, which shows that the country is not easy.

The introduction of national policies requires multiple considerations, and the policy that affects the whole body needs to be brewed for a long time.

Therefore, Wang Anshi made the same mistake as Fan Zhongyan in his subsequent innovations, and he wanted to implement the new policy overnight.

Without buffering and careful consideration, it will eventually fail naturally.

"The navy is still building warships." Zeng Gongliang has been to the navy's shipyard several times recently, facing the infatuated warships, starting to record.

"I'm afraid the money and food are a bit inappropriate!"

Before Bao Zheng came back, after the Political Affairs Hall took over the major decision of the Three Departments, the three prime ministers had a headache when facing the mess of the Song Dynasty.

Once the navy expands on a large scale, it consumes more money and food than the army.

The warships were a big deal, and they also equipped with soldiers, various weapons, as well as maintenance funds.

Navy troops have always been big toys that only rich countries can play with.

Chen An had no money anymore and dared not invest in it even if he had money, that would be a taboo.

So he looked at Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu thought he had thought of a solution, so he couldn't help but nodded with relief.

Tell me quickly, what are you waiting for?

But Chen An was also waiting for him to find a solution, so the king and his ministers glanced at me, and I looked at you, and they actually left the ministers aside.

"That..." Han Qi said in a tangled way: "The days in Sansi have improved this year, but there are still many holes in previous years to be filled. Your Majesty really can't make any money. Otherwise, the palace... I am guilty."

He habitually wanted to scrape a layer of fat from Zhao Shu's legs, and then he remembered that the cost had been reduced in the palace.

If the palace pays the money, the official family will probably be kicked out of the bedroom at night.

Life in the palace is already hard!

Han Qi said with some guilt: "Why don't you go and think of a solution."

"What can you think of?" Zhao Shu asked coldly.

His expression looked like that... If you can come up with a solution, I will not eat for three days and learn from Zhao Yunliang and his son to fast.

Han Qi said seriously: "You have to think about this carefully, but the ministers are not sure yet."

He was very honest and finally added, "Your Majesty is rich in the world, just think about it slowly."

Rich your sister!

At this moment, Zhao Shu wanted to kill someone.

There is no way, there is no way. Are you trying to say that I have a lot of money?

Han Qi looked over innocently. Thinking of his great contributions to his ascension to the throne, Zhao Shu calmed down and then looked at the ministers.

These are all old ministers left by the late emperor when they were there. They habitually looked at the emperor when they had no money.

Your Majesty, it's time for you to open the small warehouse...

How do you say that look? With some little worship and dependence, you are like a puppy.

Zhao Shu was infected by this kind of eyes, so he blurted out: "I have paid 100,000 yuan..."

Deadly silence...

Joy, this is the mainstream emotion. For example, Ouyang Xiu, his dark old eyes were looking around and he even reached out to rub it.

Zeng Gongliang felt a little guilty while being happy.

Han Qi was really moved.

"The official is wise..."

Life in the palace will be easier, and the official family actually spent another 100,000 yuan. What kind of spirit is this?

Sacrificing the spirit of a small family for everyone.
To be continued...
