I really just want to lose my fortune

"That's right, if King Zhao doesn't handle it well this time, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe." Changsun Wuji said, "Your Majesty should send an imperial decree to let him ignore the matter of going to sea."

"Well, let Meiniang handle this matter. Since Qin Ge wants to investigate, let Meiniang play with him." Qin Wenkui said indifferently: "It just so happens that the King of Chu has already released him to deal with Qin Ge. It is still more than enough, let them fight hard on this matter, no matter who wins or loses, it is a good thing."

"However, he wrote that it's not just the problem of personnel, but also the quality of the ship." Qin Wenkui frowned and said, "Is there really something wrong with those ships?"

Qin Wenkui was also afraid of this.

Going to the oceans to demonstrate the might of the Great Qin State is something that will last for thousands of years, and it is worthy of his conferment.

Due to the changes in history, there is no one who is ashamed to go to Fengchan Taishan, which has a high gold content.

"This... Judging from the proofreading by the Ministry of Industry, the materials used for some ships are indeed not the most suitable, but they are substitutes." Xun Yu rubbed his chin: "Thirty or so ships are unqualified."

"These unqualified boats cannot go to sea." Qin Wenkui shook his head: "Even if there are fewer boats going to sea, we must ensure the stability of this trip."

"Master Song thinks these boats are fine." Changsun Wuji said, "If they are not used to go to sea, what are they used for?"

"Let's do the patrolling. If anyone wins, give the boat to him and preside over the patrolling of Jiaozhou sea." Qin Wenkui said, "Just right, ensuring the safety of our Daqin sea area is also the top priority."

"Pirates are rampant now, no matter what."

"Ten ships?" Changsun Wuji whispered, "This is a big deal!"

"It doesn't matter." Xun Yu said: "In the final analysis, these ships are only in charge of the sea, and this kind of ship can't enter the inland at all."

"Besides, those artillery pieces are all registered, as long as you check that there are no shortage of artillery pieces when you go to sea and return."

"It is not a small project to transport artillery to the inland."

"As long as the imperial court controls the gunpowder, no one will be able to make big waves."

"If anyone dares to rob a passing merchant ship, His Majesty can also deal with it."

This was the limitation of the times. None of them could have imagined what Qin Ge was going to do with the boat.

They can't snatch merchant ships, and can't unload guns. For them, they can only be coolies.

Chapter 198

It can be said that besides recognizing talents that others could not, Qin Ge's biggest advantage was his vision across the ages, but he had never had room to use it before.

"Besides going to sea, there is one more thing..." Qin Wenkui frowned and said, "This time Qin Ge went on patrol and caused a big disaster!"

"He took away most of the soldiers to protect him, but the pirates harassed him, causing countless deaths and injuries among the tribe."

"Those tribes did not submit to the court's jurisdiction, and now they are even more dissatisfied. Qin Ge said in the letter that the tribe members were emotional, and hoped that the court would send someone to appease them."

"Hmph, originally I had high hopes for him, but that's how he repayed me in the end?"

Qin Wenkui also understood that Qin Ge was so afraid of death. After all, he did it himself.

I just didn't expect that Qin Ge used to look like a dragon like the sea, but now he made such a big mistake in order to save his life!

Qin Wenkui reprimanded him, but he was actually happy in his heart.

If Qin Ge is unstoppable, then he can only be forced to move him.

Although an unwarranted charge would arouse the dissatisfaction of countless people, the court could bear it.

Now that qin ren made a mistake, he can gradually eliminate his influence and make him the same as before.

"Your Majesty, the appeasement of the Jiaozhou tribe is a big deal." Xun Yu hurriedly said, "If one is not handled properly, it will bring great trouble to the court."

"The matter of punishing King Zhao will be discussed later. Why don't we first see how to appease these people?"

"I don't know who gave Qin Ge the guts. He actually wanted to help those people build cities and harbors, and receive businessmen. Is this easy to accept?" Qin Wenkui said coldly.

"Here, how dare the prince do this?" Changsun Wuji's eyes widened.

Is this King Zhao's brain broken?Who has this power other than His Majesty!

"Huh, he told me about the matter." Qin Wenkui said with some headaches: "In the beginning, he just wanted to build a stockade, gather those people together, educate them well, and make them more united. I don’t need too much investment from the imperial court, so I agree.”

"In the end, he turned a good thing into a bad thing in order to save his life, and now the court has to help him out."

"Your Majesty, he is already like this, so he can be called back directly." Changsun Wuji said: "There is no need to keep him in Jiaozhou."

"Give him another chance to make up for his mistakes." Qin Wenkui did not listen to Changsun Wuji's suggestion.

If Qin Ge returns to Chang'an, no matter whether it's poisoning or assassination, he can choose whatever he wants.

But, still the same sentence, if Qin Ge died in Chang'an, regardless of whether he was the crown prince or prince, it would still deal a great blow to the court's prestige.

Since Wu Meiniang could be given the opportunity to get rid of Qin Ge with the help of Wu Meiniang, and also had the chance to hit Wu Meiniang, why not do it?

Qin Wenkui is very clear about Wu Meiniang's abilities.

This point alone was tightly controlled by Liu Bowen and Jia Xu.

The imperial court took its face into account, otherwise it would not have sent ships to sea under such circumstances.

This is not the fault of one emperor, but the fault of many emperors.

During the Zhu Di period in history, he had to turn over the wars and repair the Yongle Grand Ceremony, which also made the court poor.

"Then send some money and food to appease?" Changsun Wuji asked tentatively.

"Well, leave this matter to Yang Guozhong." Qin Wenkui nodded.

Obviously, he was letting Qin Ge down on this matter, and he really didn't want to see the Jiaozhou tribe rebelling.

Otherwise, people have to be sent to counter the rebellion.

"The port can't dock big ships, only small boats can be docked to receive businessmen from Daqin, so that's it." Qin Wenkui casually issued an order to Hubu.

These matters will be discussed again in the court tomorrow, and finally finalized.

However, it is basically Qin Wenkui's decision to hold a small meeting for major events, and it is good to lead the rhythm in the court, there is no need for discussion at all, and the court is more like a process.

Several companies check and balance each other, and the resistance to the decree will be much smaller. Who should benefit and who should be beaten, this is all knowledge.

Qin Wenkui is relying on the current balance of the court to control the direction of the entire Great Qin.

"Your Majesty is wise. Only using small boats will not make those people profitless, but it will also make them less profitable, unable to grow bigger, and still have to rely on the court." Xun Yu said.

"Now let's talk about the most important thing." Qin Wenkui took out an official document: "The remnants of Wagang have robbed tax money!"

Zhang Juzheng's whipping method and the business tax policy he and Wang Anshi in Chang'an City have already implemented in the three counties under Qin Ge's jurisdiction. The tax collected this time is by no means a small amount, and it can even be said to solve some of the urgent needs of the court. .

In this case, most of the tax money was robbed!

"Your Majesty, this Wagang remnant is not dead. The previous three bandit leaders were killed, but there are still Wei Zheng Qin Qiong and other remnants. It is said that Xiong Kuohai, the leader of the Taihang Mountain bandit, also joined the Wagang village."

"Now that Wagang has money and food, he may recruit troops and buy horses, and make a comeback, so we have to pay attention!" Xun Yu said: "I suggest, send troops to attack it!"

"The minister seconded the proposal." Changsun Wuji said: "If they are not wiped out, I am afraid that many people will be distracted."

"Annihilation is inevitable, the question is who to send." Qin Wenkui said: "The Wagang bandits not only moved the tax money this time, but also robbed the royal salary before."

"Let Li Ru send people to crusade." Changsun Wuji spread his hands, "It's his credit for success. When the time comes, the money will be in our hands."

"If it doesn't work, just follow the trend and dismiss him."

"No." Xun Yu said hastily: "Li Rucai has succeeded for three months, and has made remarkable achievements. If you move him at this time, I'm afraid something will happen."

"Li Ru also asked the imperial court to send troops. He said that Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji had just taken office and were still cleaning up the bandits, collecting taxes and maintaining law and order. Since they were ordered to make peace, the soldiers refused to accept their orders." Qin Wenkui shook his head: "Li Ru is a civil servant after all, it's unreasonable for him to put down the rebellion."

"Alas..." Changsun Wuji curled his lips.

His schemes are very sinister, basically a bit reckless, but they are definitely efficient.

It's a pity that the court's work is to be a bitch and set up a memorial archway.

"I don't want to let Yuan Shao go." Xun Yu said, "The four generations and three princes of the Yuan family have a profound heritage."

"Besides, in Xingyang, it was King Wei who was handling the follow-up, so this time is also a good time to see what the Yuan family can do."

"Yes." Qin Wenkui nodded.

The Yuan family's strength is still there, and it would be a good move for them to pacify Wagang.

Qin Ge and Wu Meiniang can't let the Queen's family dominate.

"By the way, where are the imperial envoys sent to supervise the tax and bank matters?" Changsun Wuji asked suspiciously.

"I was intercepted and killed by Wagang bandits on the way." Qin Wenkui was very angry now, this Wagang must be destroyed!

Chapter 199

"Kill the imperial envoy? How daring!" Xun Yu was also furious.

Killing the imperial envoy is not only a rebellion, but also a blatant slap in the face of the imperial court!

"The people in Wagang are really interesting. After being torn apart, a few died, a few were relegated, and a few are still thieves." Changsun Wuji said indifferently: "It's so interesting."

What he said inside and outside the meaning is nothing more than Zhao Wang colluding with Wagang!

However, Changsun Wuji didn't have any definite evidence, so he couldn't say this. Zhao Wang is a prince after all.

Qin Wenkui's eyes were fixed.

If this is the case, then Qin Ge should be punished!

However, it is obviously unreasonable to put this Wagang on Qin Ge's body before there is any conclusive evidence. It is equivalent to fabricating a prince's rebellion without evidence, and Wu Meiniang and the queen will not be able to sit still.

Now Qin Wenkui's position seems to be to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and they act on their own, which seems to be within the rules.

Moreover, the prince's rebellion is not the same as the peasant uprising. During the Wagang uprising, no one responded, which shows the deep foundation of the imperial court.

However, a prince's rebellion will cause many people with good intentions to take advantage of the situation.

If you want to move Qin Ge, you must have conclusive evidence.

When there was evidence, Wu Meiniang and the queen would not only not panic if they dealt with Qin Ge openly, but would also feel very happy.

In any case, Wagang must be flattened before it can be investigated.

"Okay, now give the King Wei an order to take Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses to flatten Wagang."

…………

The next day, early morning.

As I said before, what Qin Wenkui decided yesterday was just a formality today.

Fortunately, Yang Guozhong also received Qin Ge's letter, otherwise Yang Guozhong would have given up on Qin Ge directly.

At first, when he heard that Qin Ge had moved the sea, he was stunned.

I don't know how big the interests will be affected by the matter of moving the sea. Can Qin Ge make a big deal out of it?

Fortunately, in Qin Ge's letter to Yang Guozhong, he wrote that he let Japanese pirates kill indiscriminately. Do this kind of thing by checking the shipping.

"Okay, let's settle the issue of Jiaozhou. King Chu and King Zhao will inspect the shipyard together," Qin Wenkui said.

"Your Majesty, this ship is absolutely fine. It's a pity that 35 sea-going ships are only used for patrol." Song Yingxing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, still wanted to try harder.

"My will has been decided." Qin Wenkui glanced at Song Yingxing.

The entire imperial court is really such an honest man who is at ease and knowledgeable.

"Oh...my minister, obey the order." Song Yingxing sighed.

"As for sending troops to attack Wagang, Wagang is located in Yanzhou between Puyang and Kaifeng. There are not many troops in Yanzhou, so Yuan Shao sent troops from Qinghe, and King Wei sent troops from Xingyang." Qin Wenkui said.

Hearing about Wagang Village, Yang Guozhong immediately became energetic. This is the place that Qin Ge has been enjoining to take care of.

As a result, the imperial envoy was killed, the tax money was intercepted, not to mention that I am the uncle of the country, I am the emperor, and I can't persuade you!

"His Majesty!"

Yang Guozhong still bit the bullet and stood up.

"Huh?" Qin Wenkui's eyes were on Yang Guozhong.

Yesterday, Changsun Wuji wondered whether Qin Ge was in collusion with the rebels. Could it be that Yang Guozhong was also involved in this matter?

"North Korea and China's military expenditures are not enough." Yang Guozhong thought of this reason.

Cai Jing also stood up at this time, and said with a helpless face: "Yes, Your Majesty, isn't this heavy army underestimating Governor Yuan a bit too much? With the ability of Governor Yuan, I don't think it takes many soldiers to level the ground. Wagang."

"This year, these counties have a lot of taxes and money, and they haven't been confiscated. The court doesn't have the money to send the army out. I hope His Majesty will be considerate of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

An enemy's enemy is a friend. The Yuan family is leading the charge, and Yang Guozhong is the leader. It seems that it is not the case that Cai Jing does not keep up.
