I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 855 This Is The Temptation

This is a trivial matter for Zong Ze. Even if the officials allowed him to walk in the lecture hall and the tribute courtyard, it did not affect the operation of the court.There are some discussions, all of which are about the prince's attitude of seeking talents.

That's it, people focus on people who need attention.In this matter, Zong Ze is only a supporting role, in order to set off the prince's pursuit of talents.

As for the cabinet, it doesn't take it seriously, and no one even cares about the prince's behavior as a show.

This is normal, just like when the government accepted Li Jie back then, the difference is that Li Jie accepted the gifted official status, but Zong Ze did not.

What the cabinet is concerned about is that the team of the fourth prince has basically occupied some islands in the northeast of Dengzhou...
It's a pity that the prospectors accompanying Workshop City did not find any minerals worth mining on these islands.Although the team of the four princes has not asked for supplies from the imperial court yet, in the eyes of the imperial court, the team still needs to be supported by the imperial court in the end.

Without the task of naval escort, the income is impossible to talk about. It is impossible to really make this team a pirate, right?It's not a question of whether to be ashamed or not. If so, the imperial court will lose control of this team.

Different from the second prince's team, this is a team formed by various forces in the country, and it has a different purpose.

"Judging from the report, Suzhou in Beiliao seems to have become the largest foreign trade state capital in Beiliao. It needs the imperial court to get a charter."

The Salmonella Islands have been recovered, and Suzhou in Beiliao is in front of us.From the lines in the report, Wang Anshi could feel the team's covetousness for Beiliao and Suzhou.

Perhaps it is the sweetness that the pirates have tasted by confiscating their assets, and it seems that their greed is getting stronger and stronger.

However, if it is aimed at the Northern Liao Dynasty, the general understanding in the court is that you can try it.

"As long as it's not the Great Song Army Flag, you can do whatever you want."

Everyone has seen the benefits of this non-military and non-pirate team, and they probably think so.Zhang Dun didn't hide it either, he directly pointed it out.

"We still have to pay attention, try not to attract Beiliao's attention."

"Does Guochao need to care about Beiliao at this time? There have always been pirates, and this team of Guochao has no responsibility to maintain shipping for Beiliao."

"If you are not careful, you will cause a war in advance... the court will take time."

"Didn't you also watch the original pirates plundering Beiliao? There is no need to worry too much. Proper naval battles are conducive to training the combat power of this team and achieving self-sufficiency. Why not do it?"

Zhang Dun, Wang Shao, and Lu Gong tend to be laissez-faire, while Han Zhen tends to be conservative.Lu Huiqing and Su Zhe did not express their views, or it was meaningless to express their views.

As for Su Song, he seldom has an attitude on these matters, but he was a little disappointed that he didn't find any minerals.

"Then let's try it, just treat it as a test of Beiliao's reaction!"

Beiliao didn't take sea power very seriously, and Guochao tried to test it in this way, so it shouldn't have much reaction.Based on this, once a war breaks out, controlling the supply line at sea should also be considered.

"If you want to try it, try it."

Zhao Xi has nothing to do with this. As long as they don't land, the team should be in no danger at sea. It is estimated that Beiliao will not take it seriously.

It is estimated that Beiliao would not take these thousands of mobs seriously, otherwise this team would not have seen Beiliao send envoys to intervene when they made such a big commotion at sea.

"Be careful when enough is enough. Although you are not in the army of the imperial court, the imperial court still needs to emphasize the discipline. Once you become a thief, it is difficult to recover!"

The most direct way to obtain income is plunder, and plunder is the most test of people's mind.

If the second child is a rebellious son, Zhao Xi seems to be more at ease, judging from the management in the north of Annan these years, it can be regarded as knowing the overall situation and being restrained.

As for the fourth child, he is a bit clever, and may not have the latitude and longitude in the fourth child's heart.

Feel free to toss about, as long as you don't deliberately seek death, safety should be no problem.

The point is that so far, even armaments have been exchanged for seized pirate materials.

The imperial court has no loss, and even gains, or it can be said that all the households of the court ministers and workers have benefited.

Zhao Xi even wondered if being too laissez-faire would create the age of great navigation ahead of time... In other words, the earliest adventurers at sea also started as pirates.

Even the heritage of some countries in later generations is related to maritime plunder.

"Wang Xiang...or forget it."

"Official, what can't you say?"

"It's not impossible to say, but it's too early to say. This team is currently in the East China Sea, after all, it's limited."

"It's just that Guochao intends to use them to test Beiliao. It's better not to leave the East China Sea for the time being. If Guochao recovers Yanyun, they can be released and placed in a farther ocean."

"From the point of view of the country's maritime trade, the wealth of the ocean may be even greater than the wealth of the land. Spices alone can feed the five thousand soldiers."

Although it is not possible to arrange this way now, it is also possible to confuse them in advance.

"Spice? Isn't that a cannibal?"

"Probably not. Comparing the goods and prices of the Western Regions and sea freight, it should be seen that the spices are not necessarily produced in Dashi or Persia, but rather produced in a certain island in the South Sea."

"Or the big cannibals found out in advance and took it as their own. After recovering Beiliao, we can release this team to try."

Zhao Xi was also in a fit of fits.Originally, I no longer had any hope for the New World, but at this time, I had another idea in my heart.

The thing that can best guide people's behavior is interest.

The benefits of shipping are great, how can the benefits of owning the Spice Island be as great?
As far as Guochao's current territory and Dingkou are concerned, the spices arriving in Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Mingzhou are basically emptied without leaving the harbor.

Being driven by spices is much better than being driven by exploring new continents.

Although the progress of the steam engine in the workshop city is very slow, Zhao Xi still has some expectations for the long-distance voyage.Especially after Guochao saw the interests in the sea other than shipping, Zhao Xi's originally calm thoughts sprouted again.

"Well, let's mention this idea first, and make preparations. When the Guochao regains Yanyun, see if the control of firearms can be relaxed. Maybe it can allow non-governmental organizations to do things like the fourth prince."

"Officials, will this mess up Gangji?"

"Not to mention. In the years since firearms appeared, the secrecy has been done very well, and everyone still knows the severity."

"For example, Wang Xiang, your family uses firearms at sea, but are you willing to reveal the secrets of the firearms? The key is to choose who to use."

"In the team of the Four Princes, there must be every family in the imperial court, right? It's a bit of a foundation."

"I said this is still far away. The cabinet can discuss this matter first. What kind of person to choose, what power to grant, how to control the court, etc., can be discussed."

This is the temptation, and perhaps such a temptation can really change the original navigation history.
