Chapter 1268 Chapter 67: First-class Lobbyist

The court officials were not in the mood to care about the Eleventh Princess's marriage for a while. They had already accused Su Yi, but now they were distracted. Everyone began to discuss another thing - Zhejiang Governor Pang Qingping wrote a letter to request

The imperial court opened a Maritime Department in Zhejiang, built a port, and opened a maritime trade.

The news came out and sparked heated discussion.

Some people said that Pang Qingping was still whimsical. The situation on the sea changed rapidly. No one could tell what would happen next moment when the calm sea surface was. During the previous dynasty, the sea trade was opened for a period of time, but not only did the merchant ships have been in trouble again and again.

Because the harbor was opened and pirates and Japanese pirates were attracted, the coastal areas were not peaceful.

Everyone believes that the current Japanese tide was caused by the opening of the maritime trade at that time.

Because the sea trade was opened, many people made a living at sea. Over time, many people who went to sea started to engage in pirate activities and joined the pirate team.

This is endless.

Now that the imperial court bans the sea, Japanese pirates can repeatedly invade the coast. Once the sea trade is opened, who can say whether Japanese pirates will attack in large numbers in the future?

The officials were divided into two factions, some agreed and some disagreed, and they quarreled in the court.

At this time, Pang Qingping submitted another memorial.

He asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to allow Jiangsu and Zhejiang to train the navy.

The Minister of Revenue wanted to swear his saliva on his face, even though he was Duke Ping, the eldest brother of the Imperial Concubine, and the uncle of the Eleventh Prince and the Fifth Prince. At this moment, the Minister of Revenue couldn't care about it.

Let’s not talk about whether it is reliable or not. If this memorial is approved, how much money will the Ministry of Revenue give?

He repeatedly objected, saying that the Ministry of Revenue could not afford the money.

Training the navy and building a port, it is impossible to fight without millions of taels of silver. Where does the Ministry of Revenue have so much money?! Money is needed everywhere!

Pang Qingping personally walked to the Ministry of Revenue.

The Minister of Revenue did not want to see him at all, so he made an excuse that he was not here and asked someone to send this god away as soon as possible.

But Pang Qingping is also a bit scoundrel. He comes every day, and the Minister of Revenue has to disappear. He has to see the uncle and speak up in anger: "Uncle, it's really not us."

The Ministry of Revenue cried poor, but the Ministry of Revenue really had no money! Think about it, the national tax revenue was just a little bit. Last year, the floods in Jiangxi and Hunan and Henan were drought. These were all the money to fight against disasters allocated with real money! And Jizhou

The city defense, the fortress at Ziwei Pass, the Northwest Army’s military pay, and the military pay along the coast, all of them are asking for money everywhere! Our Ministry of Revenue is struggling, and you still come to ask for money! Where is that much?!"

Pang Qingping was not too slow, and he waited until the Minister of Revenue vented, and then he said calmly: "I know, I know, I know, and I also know that it is not easy for you, and the court is not easy. Isn't this? Am I also thinking about the court?"

He poured a cup of tea for the Minister of Revenue and said ripely: "Old Qian, I know it's difficult for you, but we in Zhejiang, not only Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong are also difficult! Think about it, how big is the sea trade?

I know that I am a capable person. You can search through the records and account books and take a look at how much tax the Maritime Bureau would contribute to the court every year when Qianhai Trade opened?”

Seeing the Minister of Revenue pondering, Pang Qingping snorted coldly: "Don't you know? Then I'll tell you that at the peak, the Fujian Maritime Bureau alone would give the imperial court six million taels of silver a year! What is this

Concept? This is the tax revenue added to Jiangxi and Hunan! With these silver, what are you doing? What is wrong with doing? Whatever the imperial court wants to do in the future will be more prosperous, so there is no need to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall like this!"

Seeing that he was excited, the Minister of Revenue could not help but refute: "How can I not know this? But you also score the situation! The sea trade depends on the heavens for food. There are so many pirates in the sea, but most of them are lost by both people and money.

Besides, with the port, wouldn’t it be more convenient for Japanese pirates and pirates? I don’t think so!”

Who doesn’t want to eat meat? But the problem is, I’m afraid I can’t eat meat and make me feel sexy.

Pang Qingping smiled: "That's why we have to build a naval army, train our own navigators, train a group of brave soldiers, let them fight Japanese pirates and pirates! Why should we leave such a big sea to pirates and

Japanese pirates go to the rampant world!? If we have these, are we still afraid that we will not be able to protect the Maritime Service? Old Qian, don’t pretend to be stupid with me. How much money is left in Fujian now? It’s less than when there is Maritime Service.

Two-thirds?! Tell me, where did this money go? It was just to the local wealthy families! The imperial court forbids the sea, so they really won't go out to sea? Others don't know, don't you follow me

Say you don't know!"

It was just to go underground, and there was no need to give the imperial court money.

Qian Shangshu was speechless for a moment.

He sighed for a long time: "It's hard! Duke, tell you the truth. Even if the Ministry of Revenue gives you the money, your idea will not be possible!"

Why not?

The reason is also very simple.

When there was no Maritime Trader's business, all the people in Fujian were eating alone, all theirs, and all their interests were theirs. However, when the Maritime Trader was built and the Maritime Trader was opened, most of the money was the court.

Yes, the imperial court naturally had to issue passes to ships for money.

what does that mean?

It means that as long as you can afford the money, you are qualified to go out to sea.

At that time, what advantages do those people in Fujian have?

This is a snatch of food from those people's mouths, and officials from the Southeast will definitely fight to oppose it.

There were also signs of wind in the court at this time.

Pang Qingping was very leisurely and comfortable. He smiled and said, "I can't control what others are doing. Now I want to discuss with you and tell you not to object. What are the other people? Then I will talk about it at that time, what are you afraid of?"

What are you afraid of?

Qian Shangshu didn’t know if the Duke of the State was stupid. Are his staff members making a living?

Who can spare you if you are so snatching someone’s job?

He shook his head.

At this time, Mr. Pang was waiting for his son to come home at home. As soon as his son arrived home, he asked, "What, what did Lao Qian say?"

The father and son have already had a tacit understanding, and there is no need to say much about it. They both understand each other. Mr. Pang knows his son’s plan and also expresses support.

Pang Qingping washed his face and felt his throat burning. He was talking too much at the Ministry of Revenue. He was just trying to persuade Lao Qian, and he didn't even bother to drink water. He could spit fire in his throat. He hurriedly took a few sips.

Leng Cha, then he felt a little better and said to his father: "Of course he understands everything. This old fox is afraid of causing trouble, so he disagrees. I told him that he built the Maritime Department and the Ministry of Revenue in the future

He is not short of money, don’t he want to? He has nothing to say."

My daughter fell into blood tonight and cried all night. There was no way to go, so she would have another update later.
