Number of romantic figures

Chapter 508 T-roll focus problem
The distance was so far that Feng Ziying couldn't even see the face of Emperor Yonglong clearly, so she could only retract her head and imitate the others, listening quietly and meditating honestly.

The court meeting is presided over by the chief assistant of the cabinet. This is also a model that has inherited the pre-Ming Dynasty and then experienced decades of development in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ye Xianggao's official dialect with a strong Fujian accent has changed a lot, and the courtiers have gradually become familiar with it, including Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji's official dialect, which actually has a relatively obvious southern accent, which is also a very obvious one. The distinctive feature of southern scholars occupying a dominant position in the center of the Great Zhou court.

Except for Qi Yongtai among the four elders, the other three are all from Fujian and Nanzhi.

Two of the six ministers who are expected to enter the cabinet, Li Sancai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is from the north, but he has always been friendly with the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and is even regarded as a traitor by some narrow-minded northern scholars.

Zhang Jingqiu is from Sichuan. He belongs to a relatively rare alternative. He can be regarded as an individual independent of the north and the south. However, because he is too close to the emperor, the scholars in the north and the south are somewhat alienated from him.

Wen left and Wu right, the cabinet is at the top, and the governor in charge of military and political affairs must be judged by his identity. For example, Governor Wang Ziteng of Denglai and Governor Niu Jizong of Xuanda are both in Beijing, so they will attend the court meeting, but they will be military generals. The identity is on the right, and if Chai Ke, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the governor of the three sides, is in Beijing, he must be on the left as a civil servant.

All in all, the officers on the right from the Dudu Mansion of the Five Armies, a few governors, and a few generals above rank four in the Beijing camp seem to be sporadic and small in number, much smaller than the civil servants on the opposite side.

Military generals with false titles don't go to the palace to discuss matters, and they don't even participate in Shuo Wang's court meeting. They only participate in the New Year's Day court every year.

This is the third court meeting after the spring break, on the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month.

"Qizou Shengshang, Cui Jingrong, the right servant of the household department, and his party went out of Beijing to inspect Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, and Fujian. They have returned to Beijing after the end of the inspection. The strategy of opening the sea to borrow money began in November last year. Discussions have been going on for a long time, but since Cui Shilang and his party's inspection and investigation affairs are relatively cumbersome and detailed, and the related economic industries are quite complex, I think that Cui Shilang can report this to the emperor and all the ministers in the court at the court meeting,..."

Ye Xianggao's words were cadenced, with some archaic rhyme, which was normal, but for Feng Ziying, who participated in the court meeting for the first time, it felt a bit out of time and space, um, like in "Daming 1566" or "Daming Fenghua" Listen to the reverberation of history in dramas or dramas of history.

With Emperor Yonglong's expressionless face nodding slightly, the servant's melodious metal trembling voice sounded again: "Zunzuo, Cui Jingrong, the right servant of the household department, is playing!"

Finally, I saw Cui Jingrong, who is elegant and elegant, appearing calmly, holding a thick book in his hand. It took Feng Ziying, Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei, Fan Jingwen, and He Fengsheng's thoughts on the boat along the way. It took several days to come up with the first draft. Editing and sorting are naturally carried out by those officials in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry who are responsible for writing work.

On the contrary, Sun Juxiang, as the censor, would not intervene at this time. According to the rules, he has his own report channel, and he also has his own observation angle belonging to the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come up with his own report.

Cui Jingrong did not report according to the route of this southward inspection and investigation, but analyzed and reported several major issues involved in the strategy of opening the sea according to importance or urgency.

There is no doubt that this is the most appropriate way. This is not a routine inspection, but a targeted special inspection. According to this method, it can quickly attract everyone's attention and attract everyone's attention.

"... The shipbuilding industry under the Ministry of Industry has shrunk and corrupted to the point of no further increase. Taking Qingjiang Shipyard as an example, less than [-]% of the registered craftsmen and workers, even if it is strictly rectified, it is estimated that it will reach half of the registered registered workers. This is a very good result. The books in the shipyard are in disarray, and many of them are missing. I don't know whether this is intentional or for other reasons. From what I have seen, a lot of shipbuilding logs are rotten, such as glue, paint, ropes, etc. Warehousing is disorganized, registration is chaotic, ..."

Cui Jingrong had been holding back his anger for a long time. He looked at Qingjiang Shipyard and Longjiang Shipyard, and then went to see the private shipyard in Ningbo. The contrast was too big, which made him angry. Naturally, he would not be polite at this time.

"The situation of Longjiang Shipyard is slightly better, but it is still unsightly. Most of the registered craftsmen are lost to work for some private shipyards. Many registered craftsmen have passed away but are still registered, and there are no ones who should have been added by their descendants. Added in, complete chaos, . . . ”

Cui Jingrong's words caused an uproar in the hall. Everyone knows that Cui Jingrong is a simple-minded person who doesn't like ostentation. , I'm afraid the situation is really bad.

Emperor Yonglong's face was also very ugly. In fact, before Cui Jingrong and the others returned to Beijing, he had already handed back some papers to report the situation. He had already made some mental preparations, but it was unexpected that it was so bad.

And the ministers of the cabinet, the six ministries and even the important ministers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also frowned deeply. They had heard about some of the situation a long time ago, but it was still unacceptable that it was so bad.

"I don't quite know how the Nanjing Ministry of Industry manages the Qingjiang and Longjiang shipyards, and I don't know how the Nanjing Engineering Department and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate supervise the Nanjing Ministry of Industry and the two shipyards, but I heard that Qingjiang promoted the department Major cases come up one after another, but the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate conceals them and does not report them. Nanjing Engineering Science has no such institution in the matter, and turns a blind eye to this situation. For the specific situation, Mr. Sun of the Metropolitan Procuratorate must have submitted a separate memorial to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. There is no need for me to babble, I believe that there must be a more detailed explanation in Mr. Sun's memorial,..."

Cui Jingrong's words were concise and clear, which not only allowed everyone in the hall to understand the dire situation under the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, but also explained the essence of the problem calmly.

"...Based on this, the establishment of Denglai's shipyard and the construction of the naval fleet, I think that the current Qingjiang and Longjiang shipyards do not have this capability. In contrast, I inspected two private shipyards in Ningbo—— Although the scale of Chenxing Shipyard and Taineng Shipyard is far smaller than that of Qingjiang and Longjiang Shipyards, their scheduling is strict, their workmanship is standardized, and the attitude and ability of craftsmen are far better than those of the Ministry of Industry Shipyard, which is far beyond Qingjiang Longjiang Shipyard. ,..."

"..., so I think that if we want to achieve the expected effect in Denglai on schedule, I am afraid that the original idea of ​​relying on the Qingjiang Longjiang shipyard is not feasible. If we want to achieve the goal, it is bound to attract Jiangnan private shipyards. The shipyard merchants went to Denglai and Liaodong to set up shipyards, and if this goal is to be realized, the court needs to comprehensively consider how to get these merchants to go voluntarily,..."

Cui Jingrong's words immediately caused a shock in the hall, not only the faces of the generals were ugly, but the governor of Denglai, Wang Ziteng, couldn't hold back his anger.

He was not very willing to let him go to Denglei to serve as the governor before, but he also knew that his arms could not twist his thighs. The court would not allow a general to serve as the governor in one place for a long time to take charge of the military and political power, and Niu Jizong had to leave the Beijing camp , so the position of governor Xuanda must be vacated, and he can only go to Denglai to serve as the newly established governor.

Fortunately, both the imperial court and the emperor talked about the importance of Denglai and Liaonan, which is to make Denglai the backing base of Liaodong in the future, and the formation of a naval fleet is inevitable. On the one hand, it is necessary to open up the connection between Liaonan and Denglai. On the other hand, Denglai will monopolize the trade with North Korea and Japan in the future, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Ziteng is willing to give up Xuanda Governor to Denglai, but now it seems that all this has become a mirror image. .

If the shipyard can't be built, how can we talk about building a naval fleet to control the entire sea area to southern Liaoning, North Korea and Japan?Without the navy fleet, the Governor of Denglei is almost no different from a general officer. What is the significance of him being the Governor of Denglei?

Similarly, if the waterway between Denglai and southern Liaoning cannot be unblocked, then the logistics supply, especially the transportation of grain and grass, must be transported by land, just like it is now.

After the Jianzhou Jurchen annexed Ula Huifa and other ministries, their soldiers had already pointed directly at the west of Liaoning, and the Mongolian tribes in the west of Liaoning, such as Horqin, had flirted with the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the land transportation would face a great threat. Because of its transportation cost, the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty is miserable, so it is imminent to open the waterway transportation from Denglai to southern Liaoning.

This is what the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the generals of the army tried their best to ensure, and it was also one of the most important conditions for the strategy of opening the sea, otherwise neither the army nor the northern scholars would agree.

Everyone in the hall could feel the dissatisfaction from the generals in the west, and the leaders of the northern scholars like Qi Yongtai, Qiao Yingjia, Zheng Jizhi, Wang Yongguang, etc. were also angry, even those who had always been close to the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River Li Sancai also frowned and remained silent.

This first compromise that was reached at the beginning is now a problem. If this cannot be achieved, how can the northern scholars and military generals in the court be satisfied? Even the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households will not agree.

"Cui Qing, since that's the case, how can these Jiangnan merchants go to Denglai to set up a shipyard? What about the shipyard of the Ministry of Industry?"

Emperor Yonglong also knew that this issue would spark another debate, and the court would inevitably have to make some concessions and compromises, and some actions had to be taken, but they had to start a showdown, otherwise many subsequent things would be impossible. advanced.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Feng Keng, the editor of the Imperial Academy, once made a suggestion to the minister, but the controversy was quite large, and the minister did not dare to make a decision,..."
