A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"Shibo Division's income will increase this year!" Shen An vowed.

The debate on the maritime policy of the Song Dynasty has been going on for two days. The important ministers probably felt that too many resources were used on the navy, and the uncertainty of maritime trade made the conservative faction a little worried.

"But once something happens at sea, you will lose all your money, so do you have to do overseas trade slowly?" Wang Anshi's words made Shen An want to jump into the river.

Isn't this a radical? How did he suddenly change his identity and become a conservative?

As a supporter and planner of ocean policy, Shen An must give an answer.

He said firmly: "There are not many merchant ships going out to sea in this batch, really not many. If it were not that the size of the navy was not capable of escorting a larger scale, this batch of merchant ships would have tripled in size... and this is a large-scale escort." Some businessmen are waiting to see the results.

Everyone, if this batch of merchant ships return with full loads, Hangzhou and Guangzhou will become the favorites of merchants in the future, and countless goods will gather in the above two places... and the benefits brought by this, such as taxes, will make Bao Xiang forget his worries. . "

Bao Zheng had been driven back by the officials to recuperate because he worked too hard in the Third Division.

What would happen if sea trade brought huge benefits?

Bao Zheng will go crazy.

Wang Anshi frowned and said: "What will happen to the cannibals? It doesn't matter if the merchant ships go to sea, but will the cannibals feel threatened if the warships go to sea? You must know that they have been roaming the sea for hundreds of years, can the Song Dynasty be confident in dealing with the attacks from them? Provocation? If you can't do it, then you should do it slowly."

That was his main concern.

During his subsequent administration, he decisively promoted Wang Shao and regarded solving the northwest problem of the Song Dynasty as his top priority.

The Song Dynasty spent several years to successfully expand the border area in Hehuang area, thus realizing the strategy of attacking the Xixia people from both front and rear.

In March of the sixth year of Xining, Wang Shao captured Hezhou. In the following month, he covered nearly two thousand miles, captured Hehuang and other places, killed the enemy and captured countless...

The above history is called "Hehuang Kaibian".

Wang Anshi is not a reckless person. He will wait for the opportunity and then give the enemy a heavy blow.

In order to show caution, Shen An pretended to think about it for a while.

In fact, he has thought about these things many times, and there are some vague histories to draw from, so he feels confident.

"The Big Eater was very powerful in the past, but water wars... let's put it this way." Shen An pointed to Fu Bi beside him and said, "Fu Bi should know that water wars in the past were mainly gang-hopping, that is to say, The warship is a tool for transporting soldiers. You can shoot with bows and arrows from a distance, and join forces when you are close..."

Fu Bi, who was pointed at by him, felt a little unhappy and said, "There used to be rackets..."

"Yes, but as the warships got bigger and bigger, the racket became useless."

Fu Bi nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Wang Anshi suddenly said in surprise: "I have forgotten that the Song Dynasty now has gunpowder bombs... Yes, if the gunpowder bombs are thrown, the enemies will be blown up to ashes."

Shen An said reservedly: "Prince, you have forgotten something."

Zeng Gongliang was editing a book, so he was the first to react, "kerosene bombs."

"Yes." Shen An said calmly: "For warships, fire is the enemy that scares them the most. In the Battle of Chibi, Shu and Wu teamed up to destroy Cao Wei's navy with fire attacks. At that time, they relied on fire Boats, but the Song Dynasty's ones are kerosene bombs that can be thrown by trebuchets. As long as they are hit, the enemy can only ask for good luck..."

"With such a sharp weapon, why did the navy of the Song Dynasty still fear the enemy?"

Shen An said enthusiastically: "The Song Dynasty should take the initiative to go to sea for trade. Merchant ships can not only bring back money, but also discover many treasures."

"What treasure?" Zhao Shu was a little curious, "I always hear that there are treasures overseas, but I am not the Emperor of Qin, so naturally I don't want to look for immortals."

Qin Shihuang sent people overseas to search for immortals, which created many legends for later generations, and it was also a negative rumor.

"Gold and Silver Mines."

Shen An knew that unless some benefits were obtained, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty would not look at Dahai differently.

"where?"

Zhao Shu asked lazily.

Everyone likes gold and silver. If the Song Dynasty had huge gold and silver reserves, there would be no need for a subsidy of one penny per Guan Xiang's money, and he would be confident that he could issue as many banknotes as he wanted.

Gold and silver!

Zhao Shu was depressed and felt that the Song Dynasty he took over was a mess.

So poor!

Shen An came from the Mangshan sect, and those people were so elusive that they might know something else.

It's probably somewhere overseas, and I think it's extremely difficult to find.

"Japanese country."

Zhao Shu's eyes wandered around, trying to find something to smash the boy half to death.

"real."

Shen An felt the evil spirit and quickly raised his hands and swore, "I guarantee it is true. The Japanese country really has a lot of gold and silver, and they didn't even find it themselves."

It would take hundreds of years for Shijian Yinshan to be excavated and smelted. Now taking it out in advance can be regarded as a good deed for the Song Dynasty.

"Um……"

Zhao Shu muttered: "This matter should be taken slowly."

In a dignified country, it is impossible for Shen An to start taking action just because the Japanese country has gold and silver. That is a joke.

Including overseas trade, it was based on the successful experience of cannibalism, but even so, the monarchs and ministers of the DPRK still discussed it for a long time, which shows that it is not easy to control the country.

The introduction of national policies requires a lot of consideration, and the kind of policies that affect the whole body in one move need to be brewed for a long time.

Therefore, Wang Anshi made the same mistake as Fan Zhongyan in the subsequent reforms, hoping to implement the New Deal overnight throughout the Song Dynasty.

Without a buffer, without careful consideration, it will eventually fail.

"The Navy is still building warships." Zeng Gongliang recently visited the Navy's shipyard several times, and he began to record the warships in fascination.

"I'm afraid the money and food are a bit ungrateful!"

Bao Zheng hasn't come back yet. After the Political Affairs Hall took over the major decisions of the three divisions, the three prime ministers and assistants all had a headache when faced with the mess of the Song Dynasty.

Once the navy expands on a large scale, it will consume more money and food than the army.

The warship is a large amount, as well as the soldiers, various weapons, and maintenance funds.

Naval forces have always been a big toy that only rich countries can play with.

Shen An doesn't have any money anymore. If he has money, he doesn't dare to invest in it. It would be a taboo.

So he looked at Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu thought he had thought of a way, and couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding happily.

Come on, tell me, what are you waiting for?

But Shen An was also waiting for him to think of a solution, so the monarch and his ministers looked at each other, and they actually left the ministers aside.

"Um..." Han Qi said tangledly: "Things in the Third Division have been better this year, but there are still a lot of holes to fill in previous years. Your Majesty, we really can't get the money. Otherwise, the palace Li...chen is guilty."

He habitually wanted to scrape a layer of fat off Zhao Shu's legs, and then he remembered that the palace had cut down on expenses.

If the palace is asked to pay again, the official will probably be kicked out of the palace at night.

Life in the palace is already difficult!

Han Qi said with some guilt: "How about I wait and think of a solution."

"What can you think of?" Zhao Shu asked coldly.

He looked like that... If you can figure out a way, I will not eat for three days and imitate Zhao Yunliang and his son.

Han Qi said seriously: "You have to think about this carefully. I don't have a clue yet."

He was very honest, and finally added, "Your Majesty is rich in the world, just think about it slowly."

Rich your sister!

At this moment, Zhao Shu wanted to kill someone.

If you can't help it, you can't help it. Are you trying to say that I have more money?

Han Qi looked over innocently. Thinking of the great contributions he had made for his ascension to the throne, Zhao Shu calmed down, and then looked at the ministers again.

These are the old ministers who stayed from the late emperor's time. They are used to looking at the emperor when they have no money.

Your Majesty, it’s time for you to open the small warehouse...

What do you mean by that look? With a little adoration and dependence, just like a puppy.

Zhao Shu was infected by this kind of eyes, so he blurted out: "I will give you a hundred thousand strings..."

Deathly silence...

Joy, this is the mainstream emotion, for example, Ouyang Xiu, a pair of dim old eyes were looking around, and he stretched out his hand to rub it.

Zeng Gongliang felt a little guilty even though he was happy.

Han Qi was really moved.

"The officials are wise..."

The life in the palace was about to get better, but the officials actually spent another hundred thousand coins. What kind of spirit is this?

The spirit of sacrificing the small family for everyone.

All the ministers were deeply moved by the official's decision, but Shen An, a young man with good eyesight, saw the moment when Zhao Shu clenched his fists and a trace of annoyance between his eyebrows.

When he goes back at night...will Gao Taotao kick him out of his bedroom?

Shen An thought a little unkindly about these treacherous thoughts. UU reading www.uukaｎshu． net

The palace had Zhao Xu's support from Anxiang's dividends last time, and finally got through the difficulties. Gao Taotao has recently been in the mood to buy some good jewelry for his daughters.

But the good days are over.

Shen An felt that Zhao Shu's good days were over.

The ministers were rejoicing and felt that it was perfect that the matter could be resolved in this way.

Only Shen An felt that a storm was gathering, and the target was Zhao Shu.

After discussing political affairs, Shen An went to Bao's house to see Lao Bao again.

"The official's salary is one hundred thousand dollars?"

As the Third Chief of Staff, Bao Zheng knew the royal family’s annual income very well. He was stunned and said: “I’m afraid life in the palace will be miserable.”

Shen An didn't know and didn't want to know.

When he returned home, he found that Zhao Xu was already there and had brought a change of clothes.

"what does this mean?"

This is the rhythm of preparing for a long stay!

Zhao Xu raised his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Anbei, my mother is angry."

Damn it!

Zhao Shu finally couldn't escape the disaster!

Shen An suddenly felt a sense of schadenfreude, and then showed sympathy, "Well... just stay, as long as you want."

"Brother Zhong Zhen."

Guoguo ran into the study with Huahua, followed by the annoying green parrot.

"The husband is handsome and handsome."

Shen An looked dull, and Zhao Xu was stunned.

"I really didn't teach this bird to say these words." Shen An was very innocent. He really couldn't do this kind of bragging!

Guoguo shook his head and said more innocently: "Brother, I never teach Lu Mao how to speak."

Zhao Xu looked at Shen An and felt that this person was really... hard to describe!

Is there anyone who has a parrot praise him like you do?
