Fast Transcendence

At the great court meeting a few days later, when Qin Jinquan, the newly appointed Minister of the Household, proposed to open sea transportation, the court would organize manpower to engage in overseas trade, which immediately aroused many discussions among the ministers.

Qin Jinquan is a typical science student, he is not good at arguing, but Kong Zhenping is different. The ministers fought with their tongues, and they did not lose the slightest. So far, all the ministers are very sure that it is the Queen Mother's intention to open shipping and conduct overseas trade.

So, Qin Jinquan, who has never been very visible, suddenly made this one for everyone, and Kong Zhenping even tore off his face and competed with everyone, proving that this strategy is feasible.

Zuo Liangcheng, the first minister, directly pointed the finger at Luo Wei.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the severe drought in Shannan has not yet been completely resolved, the revenue of the national treasury is very limited, and there are barbarians outside the wilderness from time to time. This is a waste of money and labor?"

"Ai's family has read the charter of Qin Qing's family, which is very pragmatic and promising. The people's life is difficult and overwhelmed, but the treasury is still empty. It’s not a long-term strategy to eat all the grains, except for the large initial investment, it will be profitable in the future.”

He Chang came out.

"Report to the Queen Mother, the treasury has just spent a lot of money recently, and even if we start this shipping plan, we can't raise such a large sum of money for a while, we might as well take it slow , after all, always save some money for emergencies.”

"If you all hold this attitude, Aijia proposes that this time the plan to open the sea, half of the initial funds will be contributed by the palace, and half of the dividends will be obtained, and the other half will be provided by the national treasury. Announcements are issued to raise funds, as long as private merchants are willing to contribute, after the shipping is officially opened, they are allowed to send ships to accompany them!"

Speaking of this, Luo Wei revealed a meaningful smile.

"For example, if the members of the family are interested, as long as they pay the full fee to the Ministry of Household, they can bring their own large boats and go to sea with them. The Aijia hereby promises that if the shipping plan fails in the end, everyone will pay The fees will be refunded in full, but the number of places is limited, if you want to join, you must register as soon as possible.”

Seeing that somewhat familiar smile, Duke Yongan suddenly remembered that in the imperial study, Luo Wei took out the large pile of account books related to each family. , though always in doubt.

Therefore, after selfish consideration, before the other ministers reacted, Yong An Gong first expressed his position.

"The queen mother is dedicated to working hard for the country, which is really admirable. The old minister is willing to report her name on behalf of the government!"

The sudden action of Duke Yong An immediately caused the court to boil, and King Gu Shan gave him a thoughtful look, and then quickly followed.

Luo Wei nodded in relief.

"Ai's family believes that opening shipping and conducting overseas trade is really beneficial to the country and the people. The two old Qing families have such strong support, and Ai's family is very pleased. Qin Qing's family, specifically You can reorganize the articles of association. For this matter, the Ministry of Industry must cooperate fully, and gather all the skilled craftsmen in the world. The treatment is favorable, regardless of status, and only depends on ability. Be sure to make the most advanced and high-level big ship! "

"Wei Chen will obey Yi's order!"

Luo Wei knew that Qin Jinquan had always collected the information of the former dynasty when she went to sea, and there were many things that could be borrowed.

No need to play cards, after Yongan Gong and Gu Shan Wang successively expressed their opinions, the matter of shipping shipping was confirmed so successfully, Luo Wei was actually a little surprised.

Attacking and landing, Yuan Guo, who is unprepared, is afraid that it will be greatly damaged.

At present, when the maritime transportation in various countries is not developed, such a thing has never happened, but once it really happens, it will be too late to regret it.

It is estimated that this project can be carried out using the savings of the national treasury.

These ministers don't know the prospect of overseas business, those big businessmen are not stupid, and Luo Wei has no doubts about their sense of smell and courage.

This is the most distinctive one in history. It is the top fundraising list. After the introduction of the shipping project, the quota for 18 ships will be given directly, so that everyone who wants to take this ride will be able to enjoy the wind. Ship customers, participate in the quota auction, and bid on their own.

In any case, there are only 18 places, and everyone will be treated equally.

At the beginning, the ministers were still thinking of watching jokes, thinking that Qin Jinquan, the newly appointed Minister of the Household, was unreliable. This kind of fundraising thing, forcing people to invest, I am afraid Not easy.

Nowadays, the Ministry of Household not only did not find those big merchants to forcibly raise funds, but let people choose by themselves, whether to invest or not, and also adopted an auction method with no price. At that time, no one participated. Not to mention that the funds cannot be raised, the shame is for sure.

For this matter, Yongan Gongfu and Gushan Wangfu also have opinions. They have already stated that they are willing to participate in this project, but once the fundraising fails, the shipping project cannot be carried out. The government will also be embarrassed.

Whether they can make money by sea, they don't care, the face of the princes and nobles, but they can't afford to lose.

Therefore, Yangping County Lord was entrusted by the second wife and mother, and went to the palace to find Luo Wei that day.

"Niangniang, my concubines don't know much about shipping, but if the household department does this, I'm afraid it will laugh at the world! Besides, even if someone is willing to participate in that kind of auction, our two prefectures will I have already made a statement in the court, and it is difficult for the Ministry of Household to make such a move, and the two of us should also go to bid with those businessmen and the like?"

Luo Wei smiled and pushed the tea forward.

"Don't be so excited! Drink water first and moisten your throat!"

"The Ministry of Household will do this with my consent. I have always kept in mind the affairs of the government and the grandfather's government. Will anyone buy it? Don't worry. It's not too late to wait, the entire fleet is expected to have five to sixty ships, I asked to take out twenty, and two of them have been left on purpose."

Hearing Luo Wei say this, Yangping County Master was relieved.

"How to calculate the investment of these two ships?"

"Contribute at the lowest price of this auction, the brothers will settle the accounts, and the funds raised will be directly attributed to the Ministry of Accounts, with separate accounts and dedicated funds. Even if I am the queen mother, I will Powerless to intervene, speaking of which, I have been under a lot of pressure recently, and I have already started to reduce the cost of the palace!"

Thinking of Luo Wei's boasting about Haikou, Yangping County Master couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"You child, now your temperament is becoming more and more left-handed, you can't listen to other people's persuasion, if you think about it, it will come out. If you open your mouth, you will recognize half of it. Just building those ships costs a lot of money, just cutting down on the palace will save you a few dollars, and you will suffer yourself!"

Speaking of this, the Yangping County Master felt a little sad, and she really felt sorry for her daughter at the moment.

After Luo Wei came, she never gave her a chance to swell, and seldom called her into the palace on her own initiative. She just sent people to the Second Mansion to say hello from time to time, and then rewarded her with things every three days. to show attitude.

Because she has always done this since she ascended the position of Empress Dowager Xiezheng, others did not find it abrupt, and the second government also accepted it well.

"Mother don't have to worry so much, I do it, I have my own reasons, a country is so big, it is absolutely impossible without money, if you believe me, it is better to propose to grandfather, wait until When the government contributes capital, it will also take part of it to crowdfund each house, and each house will share dividends according to the proportion of the investment, and when the government is divided in the future, this part can be used as the private property of each house.”

Listening to Luo Wei's words, Yangping County Master couldn't help but feel a little moved, but she was still hesitant.

"Can this really be done? I heard that overseas are all barren and barren islands. How can you be so confident that you can make money?"

Our opportunity to make money, anyway, you will know about it in the future!"

The mood of Yangping County Master when she left was more complicated. She could feel Luo Wei's strong self-confidence, which gave her a lot of confidence in shipping.

The matter of letting her also invest money, Yangping County Master will inevitably hesitate.

In the next period of time, Yuan Guo, not only those famous, but also those low-key big businessmen, gathered in Kyoto.

Until then, all the ministers vaguely realized that there may be a lot of potential in developing overseas trade. Like a rush.

The price of the 18 boats accompanying it, and the high price that made countless people jealous, can be said to be a sensation in the whole capital.

Yong An Gong and Gu Shan Wang were relatively silent. Their moods at the moment were very similar, and they were both mixed.

Push the price extremely high.

The happy thing is that they unintentionally took the lead, and they didn't have to find Luo Wei for personal reasons, and they each held a quota for a boat.

The worry is that even if they are asked to offer the lowest price, the price will not only ruin the houses of the two governments, but also put them under great pressure.

"How did the lord consider the suggestion conveyed by the Queen Mother Tuo Yangping?"

King Gu Shan sighed and said, "I would like to take advantage of this amount of money and resell it, but firstly, I can't afford to lose my old face, and secondly, the Queen Mother's move should have deep meaning, we must not Don't think about it carefully!"

"The old minister thought, otherwise, let's transfer part of it to those businessmen, and if we invest in the private houses of the younger generation, if there is a case, those of us who are elders, Even if you want to fill this hole, I'm afraid you will be powerless!"
