Chapter 1293 Chapter Ninety-two
Qi Tianyou said it simple, but everyone sounded like a little too idealistic. Even Cui Daru hesitated: "Re-conscription, re-training, and so high military pay. I wonder if the court can agree to this request.
ah."
Sure enough, when the Minister of Revenue Sun Yongning heard this, he immediately resisted: "The military pay is two taels of ounces of rule set over the years. In this way, there are still many people in the court clamoring to reduce military spending. If it is really like him.
He said, the court has not made a big fuss over this? This will definitely not work!"
Cui Daru also nodded and sighed: "If you add it on the coast, then will it be added to the northwest? If you add it in the north? If you add it, where will the Ministry of Revenue get so much money? This is really a problem."
Seeing Cui Daru say this, Sun Yongning hurriedly said, "It's precisely this principle. We don't worry about being weak but not being equal. But if all the soldiers of our Great Zhou have to add, how can the court afford it?"
Actually, Xiao Heng knew all the things they were worried about. He smiled and raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not that we need to add them now. Let him try it for the time being. If he can train a group of real navy,
The extra military pay was not given by the court, and the caravans that were about to go out to sea, wouldn't it be possible? The wealth that the caravans paid for in order to hire or send those pirates was also incomprehensible.
If that is the case, letting them pay this expense to these soldiers is much lower than to those pirates. Would they disagree?"
He was always unconventional in his thoughts, so when he said this, Sun Yongning was stunned. After a while, he couldn't help but nod: "If it were as Your Highness said this, then that's not the case.
Can't give it a try."
After all, we should first let the court see the results. If Qi Tianyou really has the ability to quell the Japanese tide, then nothing is easy to say.
Sun Yongning frowned: "But, this recruitment requires money, and training requires money. Everything is difficult at the beginning. I am afraid that the court will not agree so quickly."
Although it was approved by His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, the manner of those people in the court is like this. If you can, you will be dragged on. If you have to wait until you see the result, the daylily will be cold.
Xiao Heng had no hope of the court getting the money at the beginning, so he knocked on the table and suddenly called out to the teacher.
Cui Daru is now the serious prince tutor. When he heard Xiao Heng shouting, he looked at Xiao Heng, then smiled and nodded: "It seems that your highness wants to follow Yunnan again?"
The matter in Yunnan is still talked about by the people of the cabinet. Xiao Heng did not spend much silver in the court, so he calmed down many years of chaos. Sun Yongning's money bag was even more curious: "Your Highness, I heard that you are in Yunnan.
I beat the toasts in Yunnan who eat a lot, but are you planning to do this in Jiangnan?”
Then this won’t work, after all, Yunnan is Yunnan, and Jiangnan is Jiangnan.
There are countless gentry and gentry in the Jiangnan region. These people often rely on and support them in the court. If they want to touch their interests, let alone them, there will be people in the court who refuse to agree, so it can be said that they are many obstacles.
Xiao Heng naturally knew what Sun Yongning meant. He could no longer use the trick of directly beating the rich in Jiangnan. He smiled and said, "No, this time I will let them pay for it openly."
In the evening, Pang Qingping received news and came here specifically to Xiao Heng.
The Japanese pirates and pirates have been deliberately looking for trouble recently. He is busy putting out fires everywhere. In addition, there are snow disasters in the south this year that have not been encountered for many years. Pang Qingping, who is so smart and capable, has been aged a few years. When he saw Xiao Heng, he smiled bitterly:
"I've really stabbed the Japanese pirates recently. They emerge one after another, which is really annoying!"
It can be seen that he is annoyed and haggard.
Xiao Heng smiled and asked someone to pour him a cup of tea to wake him up, and then he expressed Qi Tianyou's opinion.
Pang Qingping became serious and pondered for a moment: "Actually, Qi Tianyou is really an excellent young man. I have heard people mention him many times and say that he is very useful. Since he is so confident,
It means he really has this ability, but it makes sense that Master Sun is worried about. How to raise such a large amount of money is really a problem, and have you figured it out clearly? If I say it, I am afraid it is not that simple.
These big players are intricate and difficult to force them to get the money out.”
He was reminding Xiao Heng in a vague way that these big families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were not the chieftains in Yunnan, and they were originally in conflict with the court, not to mention that the heavens were angry and people were resentful. They were finished and no one spoke to them.
But this group of big families is different. They are backed by the imperial court and every household has scholars. Every year, they have to support those poor and poor students to consolidate their power.
Xiao Heng also understood, and he asked Pang Qingping: "You said, if the maritime trade is started, would these big players be willing to get a share of the pie?"
Pang Qingping smiled without hesitation: "How could he not want to do this? They are just afraid that they will go crazy. Such a profitable business, even if the court does not allow sea trade, they are mostly taking risks, let alone opening seas.
trade!"
"What if I were like Yan Yin?" Xiao Heng stared at Pang Qingping intently: "What if I go to sea, I also need documents? And the qualification for this document is to ask them to donate money to build a navy?"
Pang Qingping was stunned for a moment. He didn't think about this before!
Yes, as long as you give those big players the qualification to go overseas, they are afraid they will be eager to spend as much money! Pang Qingping's eyes were so excited that he shone with his eyes, and he laughed without thinking: "Okay! Your Highness is saying it! If it can
We don’t have to worry about doing this anymore. As long as their minds are clear, they will definitely agree!”
This incident has really troubled Pang Qingping for a long time. He patted the board without saying a word: "This matter is decided so. Handle all these things as soon as possible so that Qi Tianyou can get started quickly. Is it OK?
Yes, you have to try it out before you know it.”
Instead of always arguing about whether it can be done here, it is better to let Qi Tianyou go and see the results.
Pang Qingping was always reckless and the matter decided today would not be delayed until the next day, so he quickly went back to summon his aides to discuss.
