"And I need more people to participate, whether they are soldiers or civilians, whether they are generals or officials. I want to turn Yinshan Mountain into something like the Yangtze River. After a thousand years, it will completely become an indivisible part of China. And

That vast grassland!”

"I just want to completely eliminate the grassland barbarians, let them be integrated into China, and eliminate future troubles forever!"

"this……"

"So I want to place 200,000 troops and civilians in Yinshan Mountain, to recapture Yunzhong, to march westward to Hexi, and to let the Song Dynasty's military frontier return there to dominate the order there."

"However, a large number of people must be moved to these places, broad official roads must be established there, and kings must be implemented. Commerce must be closely connected with the Central Plains. Banknotes must be used wherever they go, and everyone who goes there must write Chinese characters.

Speak Chinese."

"The premise for this is that in the near future, large-scale troops will be used on the grassland until the barbarians in the grassland are conquered, moved in and integrated."

Finally, he looked at Qian Yuqing and said, "These all require money!"

The pie painting is finished.

Zhao Guan's cakes are magnificent and exciting.

Which young talent doesn’t have a dream to achieve great things in his heart?

Qian Yuqing's blood was already boiling.

"I am willing to do everything for Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ning turned around and looked at Qian Yuqing and continued: "Nanhai earns 10 million yuan every year. I know that this goal is a bit high and it will be difficult to implement, so I allow you to enter the political hall."

Finally, I got back to the topic. After talking a lot, you, Zhao Guanjia, just want me to make more money!

"The current ministers and officials are all ministers of His Majesty's society and cannot be influenced at will."

Qian Yuqing's mind was spinning rapidly.

The current prime minister, Zhao Ding, has been in charge of the Zhengshitang since the time when the Zhao family implemented the New Deal. He is the first official to contribute to the New Deal. It is definitely impossible for him to step down.

Lu Yihao had only been the left prime minister for two years and was leading the construction of official roads. Recently, he had been saying the same thing from the Ministry of Punishment, and there was no reason for him to step down.

Qin Hui is implementing the New Deal on Jiangnan West Road. He has worked hard and made great achievements, so he cannot be replaced immediately.

Could it be Cai Mao who has been fishing?

"I didn't say anything about it."

"That……"

"Who said there can only be four prime ministers?"

"What does your Majesty mean?"

"The affairs of the country are becoming more and more complicated, and the four prime ministers are not able to do what they want. I intend to add another prime minister."

Qian Yuqing was greatly shocked.

"Everything involving maritime affairs from now on will be arranged by you."

"No matter how virtuous or capable I am, I will do my best to thank Your Majesty for your mercy."

Qian Yuqing is now in charge of the Municipal Shipping Department, and the military administration of the Navy also belongs to him.

What difference would it make if he became Zaizhi?

The difference is very big. In the past, the appointment of various maritime-related personnel had to be reported to the political hall and discussed by the governors.

However, the governors do not know much about maritime affairs, so the decision-making process will be very long, and many important things may be postponed.

If Qian Yuqing enters the political hall, the efficiency of the entire maritime affairs will improve by leaps and bounds.

For example, growing sugar cane in the Philippines, developing Taiwan, and trading with Japan and Arabs will all increase significantly.

"You have made many meritorious deeds, and now the transformation of rice into mulberry is going so smoothly. No one will have any objections when you enter the political hall."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qian Yuqing said, "Since the bronze cannon was loaded on the ship, and after defeating a group of pirates near Liuqiu Island in June this year, Li Bao and the others have become quite confident in opening up the trade route to the South China Sea. Your Majesty,

I have something important to do when I come back this time."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"In August this year, a group of big cannibals came to Hangzhou and found me. These big cannibals have a good background. They claim to be famous local nobles and want to do long-term big business with me, the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ning became interested immediately and asked: "How big is the deal?"

"They want 200,000 pieces of silk every year!" Qian Yuqing said, "The price I negotiated with them is ten pieces of silk per piece!"

The price of silk in the Song Dynasty was about 2 guan per piece. If it was sold, it would be five times higher. The other party thought it was a big bargain.

"In addition, the other side requires one million catties of tea every year, every catty is consistent!"

The price of tea in the Song Dynasty ranges from 20 to 500 yuan per catty, depending on the variety.

But people in the Song Dynasty could taste the quality of the tea, so how could the people of Da Shi drink it know the quality of the tea?

Judging from the behavior of these two profiteers, Zhao Guanjia and Qian Yuqing, it is estimated that the tea given to the big cannibal is definitely not of the highest quality.

In this way, the price of tea has increased dozens of times!

A smile appeared on Zhao Ning's face unconsciously.

Doesn’t this increase by 3 million yuan every year?

He said: "Is he a local noble?"

"Yes."

"Let him come to Beijing to see me. I will not only entertain him, but also give him an official position. Of course, it will be an honorary official position, which symbolizes the beautiful relationship between the two countries."

"Your Majesty is wise." Qian Yuqing continued, "Not only that, I think we can expand the foreign affairs residential areas in Hangzhou, Quanzhou and Qinzhou, and appropriately appoint some foreign officials. The official positions are not high, but they can do some things related to maritime trade.

Affairs, assist our country in opening up trade with overseas countries as soon as possible.”

"Yes, it's up to you to take care of these things. I will announce your admission to the political affairs hall tomorrow. From now on, you will directly submit to Zhao Ding for the appointment of all maritime officials."

"yes."

"Especially Qinzhou, you have to take good care of it. Dali is now fully cooperating with us to produce tea. A lot of tea will be transported directly to Qinzhou and shipped to the sea from Qinzhou."

"I understand."

The Battle of Songli was not in vain. The biggest benefit was that after the opening of Qinzhou Port, a large amount of tea from there went south.

What Qian Yuqing was talking about was only the tea needed by the Great Eaters. Of course, the nobles of those countries in the South China Sea also had a demand for tea.

Zhao Ning finally asked: "Can this big cannibal's demand for tea and silk increase further?"

Qian Yuqing was stunned for a moment and said: "There should be a lot of room for improvement, but the area in the South China Sea is relatively chaotic now, with frequent fighting, so it is not convenient for them to buy too much."

"Therefore, the imperial court will send troops to maintain order in the South China Sea." Zhao Ning said meaningfully.

Early in the morning on October 15th, an imperial edict came out in the palace, appointing Qian Yuqing as the minister Zuopushe.

This is interesting. Zuo Pushe was originally a fictitious position in the Menxia Province, but now he was proposed to be a real power position.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the court.

Qian Yuqing's entry into the Political Affairs Hall was definitely controversial.

Qian Yuqing was only thirty-one years old. How could anyone in the Song Dynasty enter the political affairs hall at the age of thirty-one?

Qin Hui did not reach the position of power until he was almost forty years old, and he was already the most dazzling.
