"King Ping wrote a letter to build the Dayue Navy?!"

Bo Yuan was stunned and could hardly hold the tea cup in his hand.

Rong Qian lowered his head and wrote quickly. He didn't raise his eyebrows when he heard this. He said softly, "Oh," and said coldly:

"The court doesn't care whether to build a navy, it's just about whether to spend money."

Bo Yuan was shocked by the bold actions of King Ping, but he was immediately shocked by the court's attitude again.

What a great thing it was to form a navy? Besides, King Ping guarded Fujian for several generations and raised more than 10,000 anti-Japanese soldiers under his command. It is no exaggeration to say that he exists like King Yang of Beidi.

In this case, the court not only did not defend against it, but also allocated a lot of military pay every year. Now, he didn't even take such a major event as establishing a navy, but only cared about whether it was going to cost money!

What was the mind of Emperor Showa and the people of the Ministry of War? Is it because of the surname Zhang of King Ping?

Relatively Bo Yuan was surprised, Rong Qian felt that the court's attitude was very normal.

First, King Ping had not made any great contributions to guard Fujian for decades, and the pirates still attacked intermittently. The prestige of King Ping was not as good as King Ping. Second, the navy was in the sea area, and after getting ashore, he was just a group of big-footed reckless men without artillery horses, and would not pose a threat to the court.

But the iron hooves in the north are different.

This is the fundamental difference between King Chengyang and King Ping.

He put down his pen and folded the letter in his hand and put it in the envelope, sealed it with fire paint in front of Bo Yuan and handed it to him.

"I have explained this in detail in the letter. You can send someone to the prince's place."

Bo Yuan pinched the letter and thought for a while and tentatively said:

"But I don't know where the news of the prince came from, why didn't I hear a trace of wind outside?"

Rong Qian glanced at him, and his dark eyes flashed through the secluded.

A familiar chill rose from Bo Yuan's back - after he came back from Jinling, he became more and more chilling.

He changed the topic tactfully:

"... Tong An picked up the rich local households and officials, and only said that there were mineral veins under his homeland or ancestral graves. He had to be ordered by the emperor to mine, and those people would bring a lot of silver." Bo Yuan paused and smiled proudly, "I heard that he had collected nearly 10,000 taels of mineral tax on silver in just one county town."

The national treasury tax revenue in Dayue nationwide is less than 8 million taels of silver per year.

Tong An was like this, and the other eunuchs who collected taxes in the capital were naturally the same. They were ordered by the emperor to survey and collect taxes, and no one had the courage to say no.

Emperor Showa tasted the big sweetness this time, but he was afraid that the mining tax policy would be implemented nationwide before next year.

Rong Qian could predict what would happen when the eunuch who collected the mine tax arrived at the Jiubian important town.

"The city of Horse in Liaodong has opened. I warn Tong An to bypass that place in the future and not seek bad luck." He said lightly.

Bo Yuan disagreed:

"It is because Liaodong opened a horse market that Tong An should have been allowed to go there! The emperor just approved their own horse market and sent someone to collect mining taxes. What's this not teasing people?" He chuckled, "If someone else went to Liaodong, he was afraid that he would not dare to let go of his hands and feet. Swinging it around was considered an explanation. Only Tong An was the most suitable."

Tong An was the one who did things for King Chengyang, so he naturally mixed up the water, and the better it would be. The more the conflict between Liaodong and the court became, the greater the contribution he would be.

Bo Yuan and Rong Qian's attitudes are exactly the opposite. He believes that Tong An should strive to go to Liaodong next year.

Rong Qian stopped talking and picked up the tea and said silently.

Seeing this, Bo Yuan stood up and said goodbye. Rong Qian couldn't sit steadily, and didn't even raise his eyebrows.

After Bo Yuan left, Bai Qingya slowly stepped forward and said:

"Criminal, Mr. Bo is the prince's person at least. If you refute him too much, I'm afraid he will not be able to work with him in the future..."

Rong Qian picked up his pen and started writing letters, and he thought casually:

"That's something that will happen in the future."

Only when King Chengyang rebelled successfully did he say that he would work together. Otherwise, what would he be like?

Rong Qian wrote two lines of words, put down his pen and handed the letter to Bai Qingya, and ordered him to seal it and send someone to He Kun.

Bai Qingya took the letter and glanced at it quickly. Seeing Rong Qian only said a few words, he suggested that He Kun not let Tong An go to Liaodong to collect taxes.

He was very surprised and did not expect Rong Qian to be so persistent in this matter.

"The prince, I think what Mr. Bo said is not without reason. The more chaotic the situation is, the more beneficial it is..."

Rong Qian suddenly looked up at Bai Qingya and asked:

"Does there be eunuchs and eunuchs around the prince who are worthy of use?"

Bai Qingya was stunned for a moment and said intuition:

"Tong An."

As soon as he said that, Bai Qingya immediately reacted.

If Tong An goes to Liaodong to collect mining taxes and strip silver, he is afraid that Liaodong General Yan Boling and others will hate Tong An to the core.

If King Chengyang abandoned Tong An in the future, it would be fine. If King Chengyang did not abandon Tong An as a son and instead used him, then the taxation practice would be in effect. I am afraid that Yan Boling and others would inevitably feel sting in their hearts.

There were no eunuchs around King Chengyang, and Tong An was one of his few confidant eunuchs. King Chengyang would never leave his own safety to others in the future, such as the internal affairs of the imperial city, and as long as Tong An survives to that time, he will be valued.

I am afraid that there will be a gap between Liaodong and Chengyang King.

When the new dynasty was first established, the King of Chengyang not only could not move Liaodong, but also needed to win over them. At that time, I would be more passive in government affairs and military salaries, and maybe I would have to raise a second King of Chengyang.

The King of Chengyang may not consider the future in order to achieve great things, but He Kun is different - He Kun has some intentions and will rely on Liaodong in the future.

These words were useless to King Chengyang, but they were absolutely useful to He Kun.

Bai Qingya thought about this joint and couldn't help but feel a little cold on his back.

Rong Qian's mind was so meticulous and terrifying. Others took ten steps, but he took a hundred steps and had already taken things into consideration for so long!

Bai Qingya was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered his head and hid the fear in his eyes, and respectfully returned the letter with the letter.

Rong Qian closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows slightly, but after a moment someone came into the room again.

"Master, what's wrong with Mr. Bai?" Pei Lin looked outside for no reason, "and he looked like he was seeing a ghost."

Rong Qian ignored his words and said:

"What's the matter?"

Pei Lin thought about it and hurriedly said:

"Yes, Samu had someone bring him a message, saying that Miss Cheng was out today and was going out with Master Cheng's fiancée."

Rong Qian was stunned, then his eyebrows were slightly frowned.

After only ten days, she has completely recovered her body? Why did she still run out on such a cold winter and snowy day?

"Do you know where you went?"

Pei Lin was stunned and said:

"I don't know, but Sa Mu is guarding... Besides, there is Qin Xiao next to Miss Cheng, so don't worry."

Now looking at the entire capital, the only one who dares to provoke Cheng Xi is probably the only one whose surname is Zhang.

Rong Qian said nothing, looking at the unshaved snow on the dead branches outside the window, silent for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Pei Lin was afraid that Rong Qian would run to find Cheng Xi in an impulse, so he gritted his teeth and cleared his throat, reminding him:

"Master, do you still remember having an appointment with Lord Liao at noon? It is Liao Da...

Rong Qian suddenly got up and changed his clothes.

"Let's go."
