I’m The King Chapter 1310: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (two hundred) overseas arrangements

With regard to the current confrontation with Qin and the matter of destroying Qin, a consensus has already been reached among the senior officials within the Han Dynasty. The destruction of Qin is not a problem now, the problem is how much the Han is prepared to pay. And Han Wang Gaoyuan's intention is obvious, to use the smallest price to destroy Qin.

This is not because the officials of the Han Dynasty are overheated and supercilious, but based on the comprehensive comparison between the two sides in terms of economy, military affairs, and management. The Han Dynasty has an overall upper hand in all aspects. More importantly, The state of Qin may be facing the biggest civil strife since the founding of the country, but the big man is now well-organized and harmonious, and he is united as one.

Gao Yuan is waiting for a suitable entry point, and for this, Gao Yuan doesn't mind waiting a little longer, he has no shortage of time, compared with time, he now values ​​the lives of Han soldiers.

 —pig—pig—island—novel ww.{zhu}{zhu}{};Although artillery has been developed, they are still not suitable for large-scale land warfare. The decisive force is still cold weapons, and In Gao Yuan's eyes, the Qin people are almost becoming his subjects now, and in the future battle to destroy Qin, if one more person survives, it will help the big man in the future.

This understanding, of course, comes from Gao Yuan's completely different concepts from this era.

"About the expansion of the navy, let's put it aside for now." Gao Yuan's eyes fell on Kou Shuguang, seeing Kou Shuguang's disappointed expression, and then said: "Our ocean-going navy should also slow down now. After a while, your next focus is to stabilize our rule over a series of newly occupied lands in Fusang, Ryukyu, and the Malay Peninsula, and turn them into our raw material production areas. With your current strength, it is enough to do this Everything. As for sailing to farther oceans, it requires greater financial and material resources to support it. Obviously, the current big man has no time to take care of it, and it is impossible to invest so many resources in it. Kou Yizheng wants to go to the deep blue , we have to wait until our great Han has unified the Central Plains.”

"Yes!" Kou Shuguang nodded helplessly. Since the king has spoken, it is already the final conclusion.

"However, this does not mean that you have nothing to do." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "In the next two years, the Navy will demobilize a group of veterans as soon as possible, and then recruit a large number of new recruits. Make good use of this time, Train all the recruits."

"Your Majesty, the current naval officers and soldiers are in their prime, and they are all fierce. Why should we demobilize them? Do you know how difficult it is for us to train this group of people?"

"Of course I know." Gao Yuan laughed: "Kou Yizheng, take a closer look, don't you want to go to Deep Blue? Don't you need more sailors in the future? If you don't train now, don't you come Is it time to sharpen your guns?"

Kou Shuguang sighed: "In fact, we only need to build a few more large ships to solve this problem."

All the ministers in the room laughed, it seemed that Kou Shuguang still didn't give up.

"You Kou Shuguang, don't you know how much it costs to build an ocean-going ship? You also know how much it costs to feed him? Don't talk about such useless things." These soldiers feel sorry that after they retire, they will not be useless. They will earn several times the salary they had when they served.”

Yan Shenghao looked at Kou Shuguang's puzzled expression, and explained with a smile: "Shuguang, after these naval officers and soldiers retire, are you still afraid that they will have no way out? There are so many maritime merchants now. I'm afraid they will scramble for it. If you want them, they are rich in experience, familiar with everything on this waterway, and they have seen blood one by one. They are not afraid of war, and they are sweets and potatoes for maritime merchants. I can assure you, Once the news of the retirement of a large number of naval officers and soldiers spreads, the naval base camp in Cangzhou will immediately be crowded with sea merchants who went to recruit. Find him where to go."

"When these soldiers arrive on the merchant ship, they will quickly pass on what they have learned in the navy to the sailors on the merchant ship, including being aggressive and passionate." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "We cultivate a Batch, these retired soldiers will bring us another batch. By then, our navy will have no shortage of manpower. Moreover, now that we big men don’t have the financial resources to sail further afield, it doesn’t mean that sea merchants are afraid to go. As long as there are enough interests, there will be no shortage of risk-takers.”

"The king has decided to sell the latest batch of cast cannons to sea merchants at a high price." Yan Shenghao continued with a smile.

"This won't work."

"Your Majesty, you can't."

As soon as Yan Shenghao said this, there was a voice of opposition in the study.

"What's the matter? Are you afraid that these sea merchants will rebel against me?" Gao Yuan laughed, "Do you think this is possible?"

Wu Qi hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, there is no such possibility of rebellion, and these maritime merchants should also know that without big men, they are nothing, but artillery is a military weapon, and it is inappropriate to sell it to the people rashly. Speaking of other things, the secrecy alone is a problem, we don’t have a large-scale modeling army yet, what if it is stolen by Qin Chu?”

"Wu Yizheng is too worried about this matter." Wu Kai is now in charge of the Ministry of Industry. After the incident last year, Wu Kai has paid more attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. I also have some understanding of the industry. "It's not like artillery can be imitated at a glance. With Qin Chu's current industrial level, even if we give them a complete set of blueprints, they can't make it. They can't pass the level of iron and steel smelting alone. .”

"It is enough to equip each merchant ship with one cannon. And to operate these cannons, only our retired sailors can operate them. There is no big problem with confidentiality. These maritime merchants use their own money to explore for us. Lu, when we are able to go out on a large scale at that time, we will not be blind." Gao Yuan said proudly: "Besides, selling artillery to them will be a huge profit, isn't it? Minister Wu?"

Wu Kai chuckled: "Well, when the time comes, I will naturally open my mouth like a lion, and I'm not afraid that they won't buy it! This is much better than selling it to the navy."

"Your Majesty, our National Security Bureau will put a person in every maritime merchant's ship." Cao Tianci on the side suddenly said.

"You can handle this matter yourself, don't ask me." Gao Yuan gave him a sideways look. "But one thing, don't make people feel uncomfortable."

"Yes, I understand."

"Okay, this is the end of this matter, and you have misled the topic." Gao Yuan waved and said, "Let's talk about Fusang, Fusang's native land. I mean it is divided into four counties, The sheriff must be sent by our local government, and the deputy must be selected locally. Of course, the premise is that we have enough awe for us big men. This matter, Lao Yan has to worry about it, after all, this is going far away. You must be cautious in selecting candidates. You must be capable and willing to do a career there, and you must not force the selection.”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there is absolutely no shortage of adventurous people among us big men who want to start a career. Great sea masters. Maritime merchants come and go, which is very different from before. If one can be educated abroad, for some people, it will be a pleasant experience!" Yan Shenghao laughed.

"Well, Minister Huo." Gao Yuan looked at Huo Xiaolin again. The Ministry of Rites was changed to the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda. He followed Jiang Jiaquan all the way to the shore of Dayan Lake to debate the academic dispute between the two, but now the head of the Ministry of Culture and Propaganda is replaced by Huo Xiaolin, the former servant of the Ministry of Rites. "Fusang must be a place outside of civilization. Military occupation is a stopgap measure after all. For the sake of future generations, if you want these places to fully focus on our Greater China, you must start from the top of education. The Ministry of Culture and Propaganda must work on this. Great effort."

"Your Majesty, please advise." Huo Xiaolin nodded.

"Use our culture to erode their culture, and finally let their civilization disappear completely, and only ours will be left in the end. This is tantamount to digging out their roots. A strong army can't be done, only our big man culture can do it, and you are naturally the vanguard." Gao Yuan knocked on the table and looked at everyone in the room, "Don't think that scholars are powerless, this This thing, really only they can accomplish."

"Minister Huo, next year there will be a group of students graduating from Jicheng University. I think these passionate young people will be your best candidates." Yan Shenghao reminded with a smile: "These things, or these young people are more suitable Some."

"All the officials and students who are willing to work there will be given preferential treatment. My Minister Wang, you can't save money on this, and the salary must be doubled." Gao Yuan looked at Wang Wudi with a smile.

This time Wang Wudi didn't argue with Gao Yuan, he said happily: "They have traveled far and wide, and they may not be able to come back once in a few years. Naturally, the salary should not treat them badly."

"There is also the rank of the officials. The officials sent out will go up one level above the corresponding rank." Gao Yuan said to Yan Shenghao.

"Yes!"

As soon as the arrangements were made, Gao Yuan clapped his hands and smiled: "That's the end of the business. This year is a good year. The weather is good and the weather is good. God is also very face-saving. Even natural disasters have not patronized our big man. We deserve a lot of praise." Celebrate it, I discussed it with Minister Huo, and during the Chinese New Year, we should have a big celebration."

"Cultural Propaganda Department is making related plans, and it will be submitted to Zhengshitang and Wangshang in two days~IndoMTL.com~Huo Xiaolindao.

"How much does it cost?" Wang Wudi poked his head and stared at Huo Xiaolin.

"Pull me down, Minister Wang!" Gao Yuan snorted, "I know you are an iron cock, so I didn't intend to pluck your hair from the beginning. Just put your heart in your stomach! "

As soon as Wang Wudi heard this, he laughed happily, leaned back and said with a smile: "It turns out that the king wants to take out his private money. This is very good, very good."

"I'm very poor, and the salary you owe me hasn't been paid yet!" Gao Yuan said angrily, "Where can I get the money?"

Everyone in the room burst out laughing. No one knows that the king is now one of the richest people in the country. In the second half of this year alone, the Mingbo company has made the king a lot of money. However, the bickering between the king and Wang Wudi has become a rare relaxing scene when the ministers are discussing matters, so everyone is happy to watch the drama.

Wang Wudi stood up all of a sudden, cupped his hands towards Gao Yuan and said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still some important official affairs in the ministry that I haven't dealt with, so I asked the king to leave." After leaving these words, he immediately turned around and left , Behind, came bursts of laughter. (to be continued...)
