In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 116 Can You Stop Talking About Making Money?

Ning Zong still did a lot of unruly things during his reign, and everyone is used to it anyway.

What's more, at this time, most of the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty were Shi Miyuan's people. If Shi Miyuan didn't mention it, others would certainly not mention it.

Moreover, Zhao Yurui did not propose to become king of Wei this time, but Shi Miyuan fought for Zhao Yurui, and further prepared for the deposed Zhao Mian in the future.

Zhao Hong's face turned red when he heard that, he was ashamed and angry, he was the candidate for the crown prince, and he has not been crowned king yet, but it is a good thing to kick Zhao Yurui out of the capital anyway.

Then the imperial decree said a lot more, which were basically rewards and compensations for Zhao Yurui.

Zhao and Rui are now linked to two Jiedu Envoys, one Jiedu envoy is [-] guan per month, and two is [-] guan. Anyway, Ningzong loved Zhao Yurui very much. Although he was driven out of the capital, he also knew that he loved money and made up for it a lot.

After the edict was over, everyone still wanted to get up, but the emperor came again, and everyone had to kneel down.

This time, the prince Zhao Mian was named King Rong.

There was an uproar all around again, Shi Miyuan lowered his head, his expression was not good-looking.

In the original history, Zhao Mian was not crowned king until his death, but this time because the history has been changed by Zhao Yurui, Ningzong's palms and backs are full of flesh, and he loves Zhao Yurui unconditionally. Zhao Mian is King Rong.

But this King Rong was the prince of the former prince Zhao Xun before he was crowned prince, so it was a little ominous.

Zhao Mian couldn't control so much, Dang Ting was overjoyed, and looked back at Zhao and Rui as if demonstrating.

After the court was over, Zhao Yurui wanted to go to thank the emperor again, but Shi Miyuan gave him a wink. Zhao Yurui knew that he had nothing to say just now, so he had to follow Shi Miyuan out.

At this time, Shi Miyuan and Zhao Yurui were walking in front, and behind them were all important confidants of Shi Miyuan, who followed from afar.

Everyone was talking and laughing happily while heading outside the imperial city.

"Does King Wei have any plans to go to Qingyuan Mansion?" Shi Miyuan asked with a smile.

Zhao Yurui immediately said: "I want to make sugar and salt over there, and make a good fortune."

"..." Shi Miyuan, can you stop talking about making money?
"By the way, I still have to go to Haimao." Zhao Yurui said excitedly, with a look of money on his face: "The officials promised to support Yurui, and the prime minister is also invited to support him."

Shi Miyuan couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't understand why Zhao Yurui wanted to get so much money, do you know that you have a chance to be rich in the world in the future?

He couldn't help thinking to himself, when Zhao Yurui sat on the emperor's throne in the future and found that the money he earned was useless, how would he feel?

"Of course, the old minister fully supports the matter of King Wei." Shi Miyuan laughed, and liked that King Wei was so focused on one thing.

He immediately said that he had arranged for some important ministers to help.

Nie Zishu tuned Qingyuan Mansion as Tongpan, Zheng Qing knew Yin County, Yu Zhu knew Fenghua County, and Lin Jie knew Xiangshan County.

In the six counties of Qingyuan Mansion, Shi Miyuan directly changed three county magistrates this time, and his confidant Nie Zishu was the general judge. The others were all his henchmen, but they were all officials close to King Yi before, so it was very reasonable.

Moreover, Shi and Sima's two most important officials are also Shi Miyuan's people.

When he was talking, he kept staring at Zhao Yurui, but seeing that Zhao Yurui was not unhappy, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to the prime minister's arrangement."

"The old minister heard that you were in front of His Majesty, and also asked for some officials."

Zhao Yurui stared at him with a scared expression.

"The veteran will definitely support Wei Wang's matter." Shi Miyuan said calmly, "The veteran will arrange it as soon as possible."

The implication is that the people you want to be promoted depend on whether I, Shi Miyuan, agree or not.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, thank you, Prime Minister." Zhao and Rui were overjoyed.

He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said: "Prime Minister, Yu Rui also wants to ask the Prime Minister for one last big favor."

"Please speak, King Wei." Shi Miyuan smiled.

"Yu Rui wants to ask the prime minister to reset the shipping department of Liangzhe City and the Coastal Manufacturing Department of West Zhejiang."

"Hiss..." Shi Miyuan's expression changed slightly, and he took a deep breath.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court set up three city ship divisions, Guangzhou, Quanzhou and Mingzhou (Qingyuan Prefecture). Moved from time to time, moved several times.

Generally speaking, the Guangnan Dong Road City Ship Division is relatively stable, while the Liangzhe Road City Ship Division often changes. In the second year of Qiandao (1166), the Southern Song Dynasty stopped Liangzhe Road and promoted the City Ship Division, and only set up a city ship division in Lin'an. In fact, Si Yamen has given up the taxation of Zhejiang and Zhejiang customs, and only cares about Lin'an.

The Coastal Manufacturing Department has also changed many times. The Coastal Manufacturing Department is responsible for the local official shipyards, naval construction and management.

During the Jianyan period, the Southern Song Dynasty set up naval forces in Jiangyin, Xupu, Fushan and other places at the mouth of the Yangtze River. At first, the troops were not stationed fixedly, but the Jiangyin officers, soldiers and boats were stationed in Dinghai County, Mingzhou (now Qingyuan Mansion).

In the third year of Jianyan (1129), Liangzhe Road was divided into Liangzhe East Road and Liangzhe West Road.In the second year of Shaoxing, Lv Yihao, who was ordered to supervise the military forces of Jiang, Huai, Jing, and Zhejiang, believed that enemy ships could reach Dinghai, Zhejiang on the north coast, and Haiyan, Zhejiang on the south coast, when enemy ships came from the sea. Support, so I hope that Song Gaozong will make it clear that Qiu Xian and others will be in charge of Liangzhe West Road, and another person will be responsible for Liangzhe East Road.

In order to defend against Jin people's sneak attack from the sea, the Coastal Control Division was established.At first, the Coastal Manufacturing Department had only one official office, and later it was divided into the Western Zhejiang Coastal Manufacturing Department and the Eastern Zhejiang Coastal Manufacturing Department, which were respectively stationed in Xupu Town, Pingjiang Prefecture (near Suzhou) and Dinghai County, Mingzhou. The two departments were not often abandoned. In the end, only the Eastern Zhejiang Coastal System Department was retained and moved to Xupu. The coastal system department was concurrently held by the local chief officer, and the deputy envoy was in charge of daily work, usually for the navy and military.

In the 11th year of Shaoxing (1141), the Southern Song Dynasty signed a peace agreement with the Jin Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty government began a grand plan to focus on the establishment of a navy, and moved the navy in Dinghai County to Xupu. The navy became the largest navy in the Southern Song Dynasty, with a total strength of about 4000 at that time.

Therefore, at this time, Dinghai County of Qingyuan Prefecture had no navy, nor did it have a coastal system. In the original history, it was not until the period of Lizong (Zhao and Ju) that someone proposed to re-establish a navy in Dinghai County, about thousands of people. people.

Shi Miyuan was stunned for a while when he heard that Zhao Yurui was going to re-establish the Shipbuilding Department and the Coastal Manufacturing Department.

What does King Wei want to do?
The Shibo Department is related to customs revenue, and Shi Miyuan can think that Wei Wang wants to make a fortune.

But the Coastal Manufacturing Department is in charge of shipbuilding and navy, what does Wei Wangji want to do?

But Shi Miyuan thought about it again, the presence of the Song Dynasty navy has never been strong, and it has never played a role in the power struggle. He killed Lao Han in the coup back then, and it was the imperial army Xia Zhen, so the navy is a thing in Shi Mi. From a distance, it's really not worth mentioning.

"Yu Rui wants to go to sea trade." At this time, Zhao Yurui rubbed his hands excitedly: "I heard that the benefits of the sea are ten times, or even a hundred times."

Can we not talk about making money?Shi Miyuan's face was dark again.

He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Resetting the Coastal System Department requires a naval force, either recruited from Dinghai, or transferred back from Xu Pu."

Zhao Yurui didn't hesitate, and immediately said: "It costs more to recruit, so it's better to transfer here directly."

At this time, Shi Miyuan began to think about some information about the navy of the Song Dynasty.

After the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the Northern Song Dynasty gave up military construction in the Lianghuai area. As a result, after the Southern Song Dynasty, the fertile soil in the Yellow River Basin was completely lost, and the battle line went deep into the Huaihe River Basin. , the Lianghuai area became one of the three major battlefields of the Song and Jin Dynasties.

The intersecting water networks in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River region are natural barriers against nomadic peoples in the north. As the pillars of the Song Dynasty, Li Gang, the minister of the main combat faction, saw the importance of the water army and suggested to the emperor to rebuild the water army.

With the strong support of Li Gang, Song Ting built the ship himself, and at the same time appealed for donations from private merchants. By 1128, the Southern Song navy finally took shape.

At the beginning of 1130, soldiers of the State of Jin approached Lin’an City. Emperor Gaozong of Song hurriedly boarded a ship and fled overseas. He followed the navy all the way to Wenzhou. At that time, he was ambushed by Han Shizhong's water army again, and almost killed Wu Shu, the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Jin.

After this victory, Song Ting realized the importance of the navy.

Therefore, it took less than 100 years for the construction of the navy in the Song Dynasty, and the strength of the navy is still not enough.

Now that Zhao Yurui suddenly proposed to re-establish the navy in Dinghai County, Shi Miyuan's mind flashed through the current situation of the navy in Li Gang's period and Jiadingnian in a flash.

Xu Pu’s navy was large in scale, and logistical support was not easy. The Southern Song Dynasty used the method of separating money and food, and the local Pingjiang government provided the salary, and the three counties of Changshu, Kunshan, and Wujiang provided food, but the supply was still insufficient.

The Pingjiang Mansion hardly ever gave Yiguan copper coins, and paid all the huizi, and oppressed the tasks layer by layer, assigning them to the counties. The Ming Dynasty court asked the counties to only provide food, but in the end they still had to pay.

Historically, the Southern Song Dynasty court demanded that the military expenditures of the following should not be paid in arrears, but various places could not pay. For example, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, Changshu County apportioned 40 yuan of military expenditures per year, and it was impossible to pay. The seven houses in his house were converted into wine auction shops, and then sold at a [-]% discount, and a little wine class supplement fee was collected to give to the navy.

Shi Miyuan understood one thing after scrutinizing it. Now the imperial court has no money, and the military expenditure of the naval forces cannot be guaranteed. The naval forces from all over the country are using boats for private work. This is also the current public secret of the Southern Song Dynasty naval forces. The imperial court also knows this. Difficulty, so turn a blind eye and close one eye, pretend not to know.

The king of Wei also wanted to use the navy to make money for himself.

He hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong, someone in the court suggested that since Mingzhou's Dinghai navy moved to Xupu, the water depth at that time could berth the boats. Later, the tide and sand gradually congested, and the warships had to be docked. Therefore, it is necessary to moor a part of Xu Pu's water army at Guji port. Gu Ji is more than a hundred miles east of Xu Pu, and now belongs to Jiading. In this way, Gu Ji's water army and Xu Pu's water army interacted with each other. For the horns, between urgent and urgent, they can support each other as a defense."

"The biggest problem at that time was that the imperial court had no money, and the local government was unwilling to bear the expenses."

"Later, only a small number of sailors moved to Gujinggang, less than a thousand people."

"Now that the king of Wei proposes to reset the system, the navy needs to be moved. Xu Pu's move will definitely be no problem. The less the local navy, the less pressure the local logistics will have."

"However, can the Qingyuan Mansion (you, Zhao and Rui) afford the navy's military expenses and food and grass?"
