Yang Zhao is now in charge of more and more positions. However, most positions are just names. He does not personally manage and does not have so much energy to manage. The actual things are all deputy positions.

As a result, he naturally not quite clear what happened in these sections, but the many confidantes around him must know the size of all sections, and then pick the most important report to him.

Yang Zhao hearing this, also felt that he was a little negligent, quickly looked towards his subordinates, and asked sharply, “What the hell is going on, hurry up.”

The little man gently saluted, opened the mouth and said: “This is the case. In Guangzhou, there are many merchants doing maritime trade, using sea routes to sell Great Tang silk, porcelain and other commodities to the countries of Nanyang, and then from all The country buys scarce commodities from the Great Tang, thereby making large profits, but the sea route has never been peace and security. There are often pirates, causing merchants to suffer heavy losses, and pirates are concentrated in areas away from the coast of the Great Tang, and It is appear and disappear unpredictably, the pirate easier said than done, the merchants have been robbed repeatedly, and the loss is quite big! “

“Oh, that’s what happened! It’s all these businessmen who are greedy for wealth. They have to run so far for trade. They are also robbed by pirates.”

Yang Zhao didn’t care, paused, looked towards Li An, curiously asked: “How did Minister Li suddenly care about maritime trade?”

Li An laughed said softly: “A few years ago, my Great Tang’s railway led to the land in the river, making the Silk Road more prosperous. High Official Yang knows how much the Great Tang Imperial Court has benefited from this railway?”

“Thanks to Minister Li’s proposal to build this railway, it gave me Great Tang a continuous source of wealth. It is said that it is 100 times more than before the railway was completed? It is a road to wealth.”

Yang Zhao smiled and said, How could he not know the wealth brought to the Imperial Court by the railway? In addition, the wealth brought to the Imperial Court was just a small head. The merchants inside and outside Great Tang used the railway to obtain more economic benefits. , Far more than the money collected by Imperial Court, can be described as a way to make money for the benefit of the people.

In addition, Yang Zhao ’s own industry has also created profits through this railway. A large number of new types of obscene clothing and Sanitary Pad products have penetrated the river market. Even the nobles of Aab Caliphate have used these items, so he Very important to this railway.

“Yes, this is a road of wealth, must be managed well, but as long as it is managed well, it can also form such a road of making money at sea, when the time comes, two roads of making money are parallel, I Great Tang You can earn more money. “

Li An explained excitedly.

Yang Zhao’s eyes lit up and he said busyly: “A road of making money can also be formed at sea. Is Minister Li optimistic about maritime trade?”

“As long as maritime trade is properly developed, it will not necessarily lose to the Silk Road on land. This Official has been thinking about it for a long time, and it should not be wrong.”

Li An answered confidently.

“No wonder Minister Li is so interested in the Guangzhou businessman’s complaint, it was originally intended to develop maritime trade routes.”

Yang Zhao’s expression suddenly realized.

Li An is not polite, and directly asked: “High Official Yang, you give me those Guangzhou merchants! I want to learn more from them.”

“Okay, no problem. After I went back, I sent someone to send these merchants.”

Yang Zhao readily agreed to leave after a while.

In order to understand the specific situation of the maritime trade route, Li An must personally meet these Guangzhou merchants. Only from their mouths can they get the most detailed first-hand information.

In the office of Great Tang News, Li An met these Guangzhou merchants, and a total of more than ten people came. In fact, there are more than a dozen Guangzhou merchants entering Beijing at this time, as many as 3. Representative only.

In addition, their purpose of entering Beijing is not only to reflect the problem of pirates, but also to sell the rare and rare commodities in Nanyang.

They took the risk of selling items from Nanyang. The price they can get in Guangzhou is very different from that in Beijing. If they come to Beijing to sell directly, they can get more profitable.

“Minister Li.”

A dozen Guangzhou merchants bent over to Li An saluted.

Li An waved his hand gently, opened the mouth and said: “The things you reflect, This Official already knows one 2, but This Official wants to know more, and tells This Official all of what you know.”

“Minister Li, Nanyang Trade starts from Guangzhou, passes through Yazhou, crosses the vast South China Sea, and enters the Indian Ocean all the way. It passes through dozens of countries along the way. The profits from selling commodities are quite rich, but this way the pirates are rampant and the road is not smooth. All colleagues died in the hands of pirates. “

“It was better in previous years, but in recent years, pirates have suddenly become more rampant, and pirates have appeared in places where there were no pirates.”

“It’s not because of the fact that my Great Tang’s products are getting richer and richer, the shipbuilding industry is becoming more developed, and more and more merchants are engaged in maritime trade, so pirates have also followed.”

“Yes! Minister Li, in recent years, business has become more and more prosperous, and the demand for Nanyang goods by the 100 old people is increasing. Every time we sell back the item, it is not enough to grab. Many businessmen are profitable and engaged in maritime trade. However, nearly half of the profits in it have gone into the pockets of pirates, and in the long run, pirates must become more powerful and invincible! “

“Minister Li may not yet know that the largest pirate in Nanyang now has a total of 100 large ships and a scale of nearly 10000 men and horses. Its strength is already extremely powerful. If it is not annihilated now, its strength will only be above the Imperial Court in the future. Now. “

“Once the strength of the pirates surpasses Imperial Court, they will become more arrogant in the future, and even invade the Harbor of the Great Tang coast, they must be annihilated as soon as possible.”

“Minister Li, I am not just thinking about my own interests, but also for the Imperial Court. Once I let them sit up, it is also a threat to my Great Tang.”

All Guangzhou businessmen, you talked about it in a word.

Li An listened attentively, and felt that these businessmen said something very reasonable. If you ignore the pirates and sit up, not only will the businessmen ’s interests be greatly damaged, but the interests of the Great Tang Imperial Court will also be lost. The most serious consequences are these pirates After becoming strong, An’an will not continue to be a pirate, and it is possible to harass the coast of Great Tang with his powerful strength, thus causing huge losses to the 100 surnames of the coast of Great Tang, and will reproduce the future generations. Japanese pirates.

“Come here, hang the map.”

Li An asked his subordinates to hang out the special map.

This map includes the southern territories of the Great Tang, the entire periphery of the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean region, and the coastal territories of East Africa. All the sea trade routes pass through the area.

“Minister Li, what is this map?”

More than a dozen Guangzhou merchants were stared wide-eyed at the moment they saw the map. This map has many similarities with the map in their hands, but it is more compact and real, which makes people shine.

“This is the route map for sea trade drawn by This Official based on the literature, I wonder if you can understand it?”

“Understand, this is similar to the sea chart in our hands.”

Li An nodded said: “You follow this map and tell this official about pirates?”

An older businessman came up and pointed to a location on the map, opened the mouth and said: “Minister Li, where pirates are the most rampant, the grandfather of the pirate leader was originally my people of Great Tang, and it was Lei. Ordinary fishermen in the province, because they do not earn much money due to the difficulties of fishing, they set up camps here and started a pirate business. After 3 generations of operations, they have now Megatron South China Sea. The toll can only be passed safely and is extremely harmful. “

Li An glanced and sneered at the corner of his mouth. The pirate leader was quite smart. He actually placed his nest in the Malacca Strait. This is the only place where Great Tang merchants must enter and exit the Indian Ocean. As long as some pirate ships are sent to block the strait, all The merchant ships passing here cannot pass, which is extremely insidious, leaving the merchant ships nowhere to hide.

“Pirates block the strait, how do your commodities come in and out?”

Li An scolded sharply.

“Minister Li forgive sins, I can’t help but can only pay high tolls, not intentionally funding pirates.”

A dozen businessmen were startled and quickly knelt down.

“Since paying tolls is safe, Wuyang, why do you come to the capital and make less money?

Li An would n’t believe these guys. They really came for the 1000 Autumn Foundation of the Great Tang Imperial Court. The businessmen are all pursuing interests. If there is no interest, they will not do it.

“Minister Li, this pirate is not the only one along the way. Some pirates are good at talking and giving money can eliminate disasters, but some pirates are committed to killing people and selling goods, and it is difficult to save their lives. In short, what kind of pirates have , You can’t guard against it. “

“Yes! Minister Li, and some fishermen who catch fish, when they encounter poor harvest, they go to rob commercial ships. This situation is even more unpreparable.”

The kneeling businessman quickly explained.

Li An thought for a moment, looked towards a dozen kneeling businessmen, opened the mouth and said: “Okay, you all get up! This Official does not blame you.”

Watching more than a dozen businessmen get up one after another, Li An pointed to the Malacca area and asked, “The pirates must be here, you can know the details of the pirates here.”

The merchants were very happy, but they did not know the details of the pirates. They only knew that the strength of the pirates had skyrocketed in recent years, and the number of people was nearly 10000. Even the location of the specific pirate ’s nest was unclear.

“Minister Li, the pirates are also afraid that Imperial Court will send troops to encircle and suppress them, so the specific situation will not let us know, but there are certainly nearly 10000 people. In addition, there are other pirates everywhere. Imperial Court must send at least 50000 waters. Army, you can calm down these pirates in one fell swoop. “

Said a businessman.

“The continued prosperity of business has allowed these pirates to take advantage of it. How can this be done, no matter how many troops are sent by Imperial Court, it will definitely kill the pirates. You don’t have to doubt the strength of the Great Tang Imperial Court.”

Li An said confidently.

“Minister Li, I don’t know when Imperial Court can send troops to clear the pirates?”

Businessmen asked with concern.

Li An thought about it, and replied: “It takes a lot of time to mobilize soldiers, horses and supplies, at least 3 to 5 months!”

“It’s fast, it’s already fast.”

The businessmen were very happy. They came not at all and they had great hope that they would be able to fight for the Imperial Court to send troops to Nanyang. It was enough to dare to fight for the Imperial Court to send troops early.

Later, Li An talked to these businessmen about more maritime routes and listened to the national customs, policies and commodities of various places along the route.

It turns out that the threats faced by these merchants are far more than pirates. There are also fishermen who may become pirates at any time, the oppression of the local Imperial Court in Nanyang, the exploitation of local tyrants everywhere, and the sudden rainstorm, typhoon and other natural disasters. .

Therefore, despite the extremely rich profits, the risks borne by the merchant’s voyage are also very great. Once too much is encountered, one trip will lose money.

If the Great Tang Imperial Court can eliminate pirates along the way, keep the merchant ships at sea safe, and by certain means force the coastal states not to bully the Great Tang merchants, the cost of the Great Tang merchants will be greatly reduced, as a result The price of commodities can also drop a lot, which is good for the old 100 people.

In short, Li An has strengthened his belief that must will make every effort to rectify the chaos of the Silk Road on the sea, and give merchants a good trading environment to further enhance the strength of the Great Tang Empire and benefit the Great Tang 100 surname.

However, the strength of the pirates is not weak, and the strength of the countries along the way can not be underestimated. To solve them, it is necessary to mobilize the always powerful forces. As for how much power is mobilized, Li An must think carefully.

After returning to the other court, Li An fell into deep thought. He was thinking about the situation introduced by the Guangzhou businessman during the day, and according to the map in front of him, he thought about how much power and how long it took to achieve his goal.

With the current strength of the Great Tang empire, any pirate is rivalable, but the pirate ’s den is too far away from the Great Tang territory, and it is not easy to destroy them.

In addition, Li An is a person who pursues zero casualties, so the most elite force must be mobilized to make the pirates completely unable to resist.

After thinking about it, Li An decided to go to the sea in person. The soldiers and horses to be mobilized, including a flight brigade of the Heavenly Army, Tank First Brigade, more than 30 steam armored warships, and a larger number of supply ships .

In addition, in order to accommodate a flying brigade of ten aircraft, a carrier with a straight deck must be built, and in order to accommodate a Tank brigade, five landing ships are required, each of which holds ten Tanks.

The aircraft carrier and landing ship do not need to be rebuilt, only a small amount of modification is required on the basis of the original steam ship. After all, the first-generation aircraft does not have high requirements for the aircraft carrier deck, as long as a deck is needed, and Tank only needs one exit, the difficulty of conversion is even lower.
