The Maojin knife from the late Jin Dynasty

Chapter 196 Marine Genes
Faced with Liu Tai's proposal to build this canal, several people present looked at each other.

Chu Hui was still thinking, but Cao Yi stood up and said, "The Duke is the one who has the foresight, and I definitely support this matter.

Now that I have completed the construction of Guanggu City, I have just enough time to spare. Why don't the Duke leave this task to me? "

Wang Sang Gaoliang and others didn't understand why Cao Yi would jump out to support and even take the job at this time.

Zhang Song also came out at this time and said: "The waterway from Youzhou to Tianjin should be built. This will make it easier for us to mobilize our troops!"

Chu Hui looked at them supporting each other one after another, and after a second thought, he understood what these guys were planning.

Because this waterway is not built, Liu Tai may have to relocate the administrative office in order to manage it effectively.

For example, moving the administrative office to Nanpi City in Jizhou is the most convenient way to manage the current effective control range.

And this is naturally unacceptable to the people of Qingzhou or the people left behind by Wang Mi.

After all, I have been fighting for so long, and in the end, you Jizhou people took all the benefits. Why!
Especially Cao Yi, he came to Liu Tai and worked hard to build Guanggu City. As a result, the city was completed. Then Liu Tai might have built Guanggu City in vain because of the inconvenience of governing Youzhou.

How good it is that Liu Tai now takes the initiative to propose building the canal. Otherwise, would he have to transfer the administrative office and deny that his hard work over the years has not been achieved? Wouldn't that be obliterating his own achievements?

Precisely because it was related to his own personal interests, Cao Yi was the first to react and jumped out to support Liu Tai's canal plan.

Chu Hui naturally would not go against Cao Yi because of this matter, but he looked at the other guys and did not dare to say anything.

It's normal to think about it. The two biggest forces under Liu Tai now are the veteran faction created by Liu Tai himself, and the other group are the people left by Wang Mi, and the vast majority of these two are from Qingzhou. .

When they truly understand that this matter is related to the overall interests of Qingzhou, they will definitely choose to safeguard the interests of Qingzhou.

When Liu Tai saw that Zhang Song and Cao Yi supported his proposal, he knew that the plan had been passed and continued:
“Next we need to build a port city at the entrance of the North Canal into the Bohai Bay.

The first purpose of this port city is naturally to be responsible for the construction of the entire canal.

Secondly, it is also to coordinate Youzhou's resources and facilitate transactions with Qingzhou's resources through shipping.

Therefore, I was originally thinking about who should be responsible for this project.

Now that I see you, Cao Changshi, are brave enough to take on the important task, I will leave the task of building this new city to you.

Let’s name this city Jinkou first. When the city is completed, Cao Changshi will name the city in person! "

Leave it to me?When Cao Yi heard Liu Tai's words, he was more or less at a loss.

Cao Yi did not expect that he would have a new city in Guanggu City, which he had only built for three years, and not only a port city, but also a canal from Youzhou City to Jinkou. I was afraid that it would be at least three years old. Years of work!

"Cao Changshi, do you have any questions?" Liu Tai asked after seeing Cao Yi not answering.

"I am willing to take over this important task and will definitely build this canal and Jinkou." Cao Yi said seriously.

Liu Tai nodded, and then continued, "Then we continue to return to agricultural issues!"

"Give it back..." Ge Xin couldn't help but lament after hearing Liu Tai's words.

For him, the only thing related to the army was the initial military system. Even if the army was expanded, the results would not come until the census and land clearing in Youzhou were completed.

As for now, Ge Xin said that he was completely listening to the book from heaven.

Liu Tai gave Ge Xin a hard look. At this moment, Ge Xin could only choose to close his mouth and shrink his neck.

Liu Tai continued: "Recently, the weather is getting colder and winter is getting longer. So we need to pay more attention to agricultural production and look for agricultural crops that can keep us warmer."

"Leave this matter to me!" Meng Dong said, "After all, I have been looking for datura flowers, just think of it as looking for one more medicine. If I can really find this kind of crop, it will be considered The merits are immeasurable!”

"I heard that there is a plant called white mat west of the Silk Road. Its flowers are like silk and as white as the full moon. I hope I can get some. I want to see if I can weave them. If so, you can pay attention to it!" Liu Tai told Meng East Road.

"Yes!" Meng Dong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not searching for everything from scratch and saluted Liu Tai.

“In addition, in order to combat the increasingly cold weather, I plan to establish a professional coal department to be responsible for the management of coal affairs.

First, we look for coal in the mountainous Beiping County of Youzhou. If we produce one more kilogram of coal every year, one more person will be able to survive in the winter! Liu Tai said solemnly.

"The Duke is kind." Everyone praised Liu Tai.

However, Chu Hui came forward and asked, "This company is newly built. I wonder who will govern it according to the wishes of the county?"

"Xi Jian!" Liu Tai said casually.

"Me?" Xi Jian, who had always been working around Liu Tai, didn't expect Liu Tai to call him.

Liu Tai nodded matter-of-factly, "I like the fact that you handle affairs by my side, so I don't have to worry about leaving the coal department to you. You may be needed to support the entire world's coal supply in the future!"

"I will obey Duke Ming's order!" Xi Jian saluted quickly after hearing Liu Tai's words.

Liu Tai couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw Xi Jian agree.

To be honest, before I acquired Youzhou and Jizhou, many of my arrangements were based on military considerations.

But after he obtained Youzhou and Jizhou, he had no reason to fight because Shi Le was so cautious.

Liu Kun picked up Wang Jun's inheritance and his strength skyrocketed, making it inconvenient for him to fight.

The most important thing is that the place he currently occupies is already quite long and narrow. When sending soldiers from Qingzhou to Youzhou, they need to use the Bohai Sea to dispatch soldiers.

If you continue to occupy the land, you will expose your flaws, so the only way you can solve it is to swallow up Shi Le.

But this goes back to that sentence. He has no reason to beat Shi Le now, which makes Liu Tai have no choice but to change his mind.

At least in the next few days, before the conflict between the Xiongnu and the Han people completely breaks out in the Xiongnu-Han Kingdom, I should focus on development.

Needless to say, at least equip your entire army with hundreds of scales forged from steel. Thinking that as long as you don't run into fire and water, then no matter how powerful Shi Le is, you can beat him.

So the next step is to definitely develop.Liu Tai took a deep breath, looked at Tian Tian and Su Jun and said, "Which one of you wants to be in charge of the First Fleet in Jiaozhou Bay.

This fleet will definitely deal with the Sima family in the future, but let me say it first, we have no idea when we will deal with the Sima family.

Instead, we chose the Second Fleet of Bohai County, which is mainly responsible for the deployment of troops in Bohai County. In the future, we may even need to assist the land army in attacking Murong Xianbei, so that Liaoxi County can return to our great Han Dynasty.

However, the fleet in Bohai County needs to support the local people to a certain extent, and will even establish a special naval academy to teach the people navigation knowledge so that they can sail large ships for fishing in the Bohai Sea. "

"Let the common people drive big boats to go fishing?" Su Jun said thoughtfully when he heard this.

"Even if we have decommissioned boats, can people really afford the money and food to use these boats for fishing?"

Su Jun was more or less suspicious after hearing Liu Tai's words. It was not that Su Jun doubted Liu Tai, but that Su Jun's family was a shipbuilder and knew how poor the fishermen were. Even if they fished all their lives, they might not be able to pay back the debt. The price of this decommissioned ship.

After all, this thing is a consumable item for the army, but it can really last a lifetime for fishermen.

"It's okay. Ordinary people can't afford it, but some coastal aristocratic families can finally afford it!"

Liu Tai waved his hand and said, "And if individuals are unable to purchase, I also allow collective purchase.

As long as you want to sell it, you can eventually find a way to sell it to the people, but I think you are all wrong about this.

You are the navy, and the navy is different from the army. Your retired ships after replacement can be sold to the people at a suitable price as long as the weapons are removed.

But for the army, the weapons they carry are easy to say, but even after the armor is updated, it must be handed over to the official for unified processing! "

After everyone heard Liu Tai's words, they thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

After all, armor has been the most strictly guarded since ancient times. Not to mention, Zhou Yafu was almost the military god in the era of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, but he disappeared because of the matter of armor.

From then on, all the aristocratic families understood that in the Han Dynasty, it was negotiable for you to rebel, but hiding the armor was a sure death!

For Liu Tai, he needs to find a way to retain the navy. The most important thing is to give the navy the ability to replace warships every year.

Needless to say, after building new warships and selling old warships to replenish the finances, the policy is definitely inevitable.

Maybe the navy will make profits from this in the future, but it doesn't matter to Liu Tai, because to Liu Tai, even if the navy is corrupt, it will at least wait until the ship is built.

What I need is to ensure that the entire ship's industrial system can be continuously updated and iterated. Compared with this, military corruption is really a trivial matter.

To be honest, after defeating Wang Jun this time, I looked around and the surrounding forces either had no excuses or did not want to fight.

Needless to say, even Murong Xianbei himself didn’t want to fight.

The simple reason is that Murong Xianbei is not strong enough at this time. Even if he wants to defeat him, he still needs to attack from both sides, sea and land at the same time, which will also cost money.

Now in that hellish place in Liaodong, Liu Tai calculated the travel expenses and the food consumed for a single attack, and he felt that he was just crazy to fight such a war.

This is also why he encouraged the Duan tribe to be responsible for plundering the Xianbei people and handing them over to Sinicization. Then, through internal Xianbei struggles, he accelerated the formation of two Xianbei forces, constantly absorbing the Xianbei tribes on the Liaodong Peninsula and converging with these two tribes.

When they reach a large scale, especially when their population can afford to serve as slaves and can afford the cost of sending troops, then it is time to send troops themselves.

And when Liu Tai made arrangements for the surrounding forces one by one, Liu Tai felt more or less confused as he drew his sword and looked around.

Under such circumstances, Liu Tai returned to his original intention, which was to inject marine genes into the Han Dynasty.

At least when you are laying your foundation, you need to pay attention to the ocean.

We should also let future generations understand that not only Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperor, but the Bohai Sea itself is enough to support a large pasture that is the foundation of the emperor.

Under such circumstances, I need to invest resources into the navigation industry to a certain extent.

He needs to create a new political class that is different from the aristocratic families based on land and knowledge.

This class needs to have greater ambitions, pursue technological advancement, and continuously obtain more resources than on land. It can even be born to have specialized literati to endorse the theory for its own survival.

I set my sights on the ocean. Is it possible that a new class formed by the combination of ocean and knowledge, which is different from the aristocratic family that combines land and knowledge, is what I need?
Liu Tai didn't know it, but his rest for the next few days would help him promote the birth of this new class.

All in all, if you want to unify the world, you will definitely need to suppress the aristocratic family class. Then you will not be able to use the power of this class too much in the process of unifying the world, and you will need to create a new class to replace the old aristocratic families.

Rather than a group of aristocratic families falling, a new group of aristocratic families will rise.

Even if he unified the world, what changes would he make to the history of China?

It would be better to wait for death and then hand it over to Li Shimin a few hundred years later to be the Khan of Heaven.

Because of this awareness, after careful consideration, Liu Tai understood that developing the Bohai Sea and shipping was inevitable for him, and his future policies would also be biased towards the sea to a certain extent.

Therefore, I took advantage of this opportunity to recuperate and hatch out this class.

As for Tian Tian and Su Jun, both of them are suitable to be a noble family in the old era and nobles in the new era.

Su Jun and Tian Tian looked at each other, obviously it was time to make a final decision.

Everyone knows that attacking the Sima clan will definitely be the last battle to unify the world. If it happens, it will definitely be a battle that will leave its name in history.

In the end, Tian Tian took a step forward and said, "Leave the formation of the Jiaozhou Bay team to General Su. I have no regrets in my life about the surprise attack on Youzhou, so I will let you take charge of the transportation!"

When Su Jun heard Tian Jin's words, he also knew that Tian Jin planned to give up his position to him, and his eyes couldn't help showing some gratitude.

Liu Tai nodded when he heard this. No matter who the two of them were, he felt that they were suitable.

Because Tian Zhen is the kind of son from an aristocratic family who rises from the ashes, while Su Jun has a relatively complete industry system backed by his family, the two of them each have their own merits.

Now that Tian Zhen has taken the initiative to stand up, it is no longer difficult for Liu Tai to make a choice.

At this moment, Liu Tai said to Tian Tian with a smile, "The ocean of that big man is entrusted to you!"
