Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 238
"That's it for now!"

Zhu Houzhao made a final decision, and his heart is not for his literati, so it is useless to keep it!

It was those craftsmen who made him even more greedy. Taoist Fulong, Master Fengling's astrology and Fengshui skills, and the minds of the crazy researchers from Sun Moon Academy all helped him a lot.

Seeing this, everyone stopped talking. After all, the Zhengde Dynasty really had no shortage of people. The Sun Moon Academy produced a large number of talents. Even if some literati were poached by other dynasties, the foundation of the Zhengde Dynasty would not be shaken.

"To carry out trade with various dynasties, the resources that need to be traded out, after the Ministry of Accounts finalizes, just draw up a copy and submit it to me."

"In addition, if private businessmen intend to go to various dynasties to do business, they can also give a certain degree of support, but they must not mess with the law."

Zhu Hou looked after Wang Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and said.

"Sir, obey the order!"

Wang Zuo nodded in response.

"Opening trade exchanges with other dynasties and launching foreign exchanges are very important to our DPRK, and they are related to our long-term development. I also ask the two dear ministers to take care of them."

Zhu Houzhao said sincerely, his eyes wandered between Wang Zuo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, and Liu Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

To establish diplomatic relations with various dynasties, the Ministry of Rites needs to come forward, and to conduct trade with various dynasties, the Ministry of Accounts needs to be in control.

"After talking about developing trade with various dynasties, let's talk about the second thing."

Zhu Houzhao took the blueprint for the transformation of the floating battleship from the table, passed it on to everyone, and said very seriously: "This drawing was presented to me by the Sun Moon Academy, and it shows a transformation plan for the floating battleship. "

"I personally went to the Sun Moon Academy to verify that there is at least a [-]% chance that the construction will be successful."

"Once the floating battleship is successfully built, our dynasty will have an invincible sword, which is of great significance in military strategy."

"However, it will consume too many resources, so I want to hear the opinions of the audience."

After reading the blueprints for the transformation of the floating battleship, everyone either looked heavy or excited, with different expressions.

They can all understand the strategic significance of the floating battleship, and it is indeed a powerful weapon of the country, but they look at the problem from different angles from different positions.

Civil officials first consider financial issues. The resources needed to build floating warships can be called a bottomless pit.

Can the fiscal revenue of the Zhengde dynasty, excluding the salaries and salaries of the officials and the army, and various miscellaneous expenditures of the local government, support the smooth progress of the floating warship transformation plan?
The military attaches are much simpler. In their view, as long as the floating battleship is successfully transformed, their highlight moment will come. Driving the floating battleship and hitting anyone they want is simply not too exciting.

A lot of military achievements seem to be waving to them.

"Your Majesty, this battleship is bluntly said to be a magic weapon that can be used as an important weapon in our dynasty. I believe that no matter what the cost is, as long as this battleship can be manufactured, it will be worth all the effort."

Li Cheng, the leader of the Shenji Battalion, couldn't wait to speak, his eyes revealed a deep desire.

He is especially good at using firearm tactics. He performed particularly well in the battle against Annan, and he cherishes advanced weapons very much. When he saw the blueprint of the floating battleship at first glance, he was deeply attracted by this terrifying weapon attract.

He even dared to pat his chest and promise that if he was given a floating battleship, he would be able to destroy a country with one ship.

"I think what General Li said is very true. If this battleship is completed, our dynasty will have a magical weapon. Even if it is not used, it can deter all parties."

Sun Yuanying's voice was like the sound of a sword, sonorous and powerful, and his whole body was sharp and full of vigor.

"The end will be seconded."

"The end general thinks."

Everyone in the military department spoke one after another, each of them seemed to be crazy, their eyes were full of splendor, and they were overjoyed.

They were indeed about to go crazy, but they weren't really crazy. They just felt that the unprecedented glorious moment of their military attache was coming, and they were so excited that they couldn't contain it.

A floating battleship has an extraordinary strategic impact, and in terms of the military department, it is enough to change the operation pattern of the Zhengde Dynasty's military system.

In the past, one had to fight on foot, on horseback, or by boat, but with floating battleships, it was different. It was much easier to transport soldiers, food and grass in all aspects. When fighting, one could occupy too many inherent advantages.

Even if the Tiangang Five Thunder Cannon equipped on the floating battleship is not used, the floating battleship itself has inestimable strategic value.

"Ugh"

Compared with the military department, the civil servants of the cabinet and the sixth department were not so enthusiastic, and they couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.

From the tone of the emperor's words, they understood that the emperor actually supported the floating battleship transformation plan, and the reason why he brought it up to discuss with them was just a process.

After all, without their support, it would be very difficult to proceed with the floating battleship transformation plan, and all the financial resources of the imperial court are in their hands.

"Your Majesty, this floating battleship is expected to be completed in a few years."

Hubu Shangshu Wang Zuo said solemnly, and everyone stared at Zhu Houzhao in unison.

They can't stop what the emperor wants to do, so they can only choose to agree, but they have to know the specific situation before they can judge whether the Zhengde Dynasty's finances can support the plan to transform the floating battleship.

"Five years."

Zhu Houzhao stretched out the five fingers of his right hand, and said very solemnly: "Mr. Zheng Dashen, who proposed the transformation plan of the floating warship, told me that it only takes five years at most to complete the transformation of the floating warship."

five years?
Hearing this, Wang Zuo couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. In five years, the Zhengde dynasty's finances could still support it.

He was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would say a year, or half a year. In that case, he would rather die in front of Zhu Houzhao than agree.

Even if the Zhengde Dynasty underwent reforms and the revenue of the treasury increased every year, it was impossible for Zhu Houzhao to produce such a giant floating battleship that consumed countless resources within a year or so.

Some people can build aircraft and warships in minutes, that's unreasonable and unreasonable.

Zhu Houzhao has no cheats, and the national power of the Zhengde Dynasty has not yet reached the level of defying the sky. We still have to pay attention to reality in everything, and look at ourselves objectively, so as not to make mistakes.

"Chen, I agree with the floating battleship transformation plan."

Wang Zuo took a deep breath, and said in a spirited voice.

Although the others did not speak, their attitudes were already very clear. As long as it was not required to be completed within a year and a half, and would not damage the foundation of the Zhengde Dynasty, they would not oppose it.

They still understand the pros and cons of floating warships. In a short period of time, the Zhengde Dynasty's finances may be in turmoil, but in the long run, the benefits that floating warships can bring to the Zhengde Dynasty are absolutely beyond imagination. .

Zhu Houzhao heaved a sigh of relief as the floating battleship modification plan was approved by the officials, and said with a smile, "I am very gratified that you understand the righteousness."

A ghost who understands righteousness!

Wang Zuo and others secretly slandered in their hearts. If they had a choice, they would not agree so easily.

If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive the money is. Every time Zhu Houzhao proposes a big plan, a lot of money will flow out of the treasury like running water. They see it in their eyes and feel pain in their hearts.

It is also the money that has flowed out, and there will be more money pouring in, otherwise the officials of the household department would have rushed to Zhu Houzhao to complain to him!
When I watched the white silver disappearing from my eyes, the pain was indescribable.

Even if the money in the treasury is not their own, whenever they see the money in the treasury shrinking, the officials of the household department will inevitably feel heartache.

　The last update came a bit late, sorry sorry!
