Nine hundred and twelfth section of the brain hole of the boat (3)
Looking at the booklet in his hand, Xu Ji took a deep breath.≧≯
The current Louchuan Yamen urgently needs to prove the value and significance of its existence to the outside world, especially the court officials.
Since the year before last, someone has been blowing wind in the court.
What to say: Building ships cost a lot of money and are of no benefit to the world. Please cut them off.
Even later, Lou Chuan Yamen developed a fishing project on the Heishui River by establishing the Qilu-Liaoxi-Andong waterway.
This trend has not weakened much.
It even got higher and higher.
Many people feel that since the country is no longer threatened by King Wu, there is no need to go south to fight South Vietnam.
The existence of a huge fleet of ships is a complete waste of manpower and material resources.
The world does not need a huge and powerful building and ship system.
It is entirely possible to reduce most of the combat ships and dismiss the subordinate officers of the ships.
The funds saved in this way can be used on the cavalry units that are more needed.
Some people even said in a weird way, "He who can win on horseback is a man! Building boats is not beneficial to the country, the country, and the country, so it is better to let it go."
Some people even came up with a plan to dismember Lou Chuan Yamen.
The major fleets of built-up ships and their bases were disbanded on the spot, and each port was put in charge of local officials. All built-up ships and warships were refitted and sold to the people.
As for your question, after the building ships are disbanded, who will be responsible for the coastal defense of the Han family? Who will be responsible for transporting supplies between Qilu and Anton? Who will catch the fish in the Heishui River?
What these people say is high-sounding.
Coastal defense? Does the Han family need coastal defense?
Who should we guard against? Who can attack and threaten the Han Dynasty from the sea?
South Vietnam? Minyue? Or the legendary body poison?
The Han cavalry said they were worried about having no place to stretch their muscles!
The transportation, supply and airway maintenance work between Qi and Lu can be completely left to the local "virtuous scholar-bureaucrats and honest officials" along the way.
The court should let the people do this kind of thing.
And the same is true for the fish in the Blackwater River.
How can the majestic Han Dynasty and the majestic country compete with the people for profit? We should let it benefit the people!
There is no need to think about what these guys have in mind.
Although such remarks and discussions never officially appeared in court.
However, this is still enough to make everyone on the building and boat in panic all day long, and everyone is in danger!
Lou Chuan Yamen is actually more guilty than anyone else!
To this day, Lou Chuan Yamen consumes tens of millions of national finances and taxes every year.
The huge fleet roamed the vast sea territory from Anton in the east to Panyu in the south.
In the known world, there is no opponent who can withstand the attack of a building ship in one round.
The Han family's fleet of large ships dominated the world with overwhelming force.
Invincibility is loneliness and original sin.
Does such a large and invincible fleet have the value of continuing to exist?
What is the significance of the existence of Louchuan Yamen?
Just be a fisherman for the imperial court?
Or be a fleet transporting supplies and people?
This kind of thing does not necessarily have to be done in a building.
Even if building ships are really necessary, there is no need for such a huge fleet and organization.
Of course there are no fools in Lou Chuan Yamen.
What's more, with the boom in examinations, in the past two years, a large number of scholars assigned to take examinations have appeared in Louchuan Yamen.
These scholars came from various factions of various schools of thought.
Their arrival further enriches and strengthens Lou Chuan Yamen's administrative capabilities and self-judgment capabilities.
Therefore, now everyone in the Han family knows that they have arrived at a historical crossroads.
The road ahead is full of unknowns.
In the future, Lou Chuan may become prosperous and powerful, becoming a powerful faction that can compete with the current backbone of the Han Dynasty, the "Six Army".
However, there is a greater possibility that you will fall into the abyss.
Just like the "Preparation for Thieves" yamen in the early days of Emperor Taizong's reign, when the world began to stabilize and the number of bandits decreased, the "Preparation for Thieves" gradually lost its effectiveness.
The chief official's rank was equivalent to two thousand stones, and he was filled by Liehou, and his position was comparable to the peak of Jiuqing, but he fell all the way.
To this day, the once-prominent Captain Bei Thief, who held the emperor's festival, could recruit county soldiers, and even mobilize field regiments, and had the power to "act cheaply", became one of the many subordinate officials of the Neishi Yamen.
The rank ratio dropped from two thousand stones to six hundred stones.
At the peak of the officialdom, Shucao's officials had more than a hundred people on the books, turning the Qingshui Yamen into a Qingshui Yamen with only a few dozen people.
There are lessons learned from the thieves and captains of the Yamen.
The panic on and off the boat is certainly justified.
I want Lou Chuan Yamen not to become the second robber and captain Yamen.
Lou Chuan can only prove himself to the emperor, to the world, and to the scholar-bureaucrats of the court and the public.
Prove that it is indeed necessary to exist, and it is indeed necessary to maintain the huge scale it is today.
If we fail to do this, once today's patience is exhausted, we will no longer protect and support the ship.
Then, the Louchuan Yamen, which seems to have endless glory now, will soon be dismembered, fall, and eventually be annexed by other Yamen.
But the dilemma facing Lou Chuan lies precisely in this.
In the entire known world, even if we include the South Vietnamese fleet and the Minyue fleet that have surrendered to Chang'an, even if the fleets of these two countries are exaggerated twice in size, they can probably barely compete with the Han family's fleet.
The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked.
This is the unchanging truth in the world.
Without birds, hunters would not need good bows; without cunning rabbits, hounds would only become boiling food in the cauldron.
So, in Lou Chuan's eyes.
It is very important to find yourself a flock of birds that are constantly hunting, and a paradise full of cunning rabbits.
And Longlihou Chen Jiao's exploration and discovery of the Japanese Nu Island is equivalent to opening a brand new window for Lou Chuan Yamen. It is true that in the known world, there are indeed no birds and cunning rabbits that Lou Chuan can hunt.
But in the vast distance of the ocean, in a foreign land thousands of miles away where the water and sky are the same color, it is not necessarily the case.
Apart from that, the legendary paradise of Shendu, which flows with honey and milk and is filled with gold, can be connected by sea.
As long as sea transportation to Shendu can be opened.
Lou Chuan can immediately find and realize the necessity and value of his existence.
At that time, the Louchuan Yamen can pat their chests and shout loudly at the court meeting: "Only my Louchuan can ride on the waves, travel thousands of miles, and reach distant countries, and become the pillar of the country."
The ministers and princes could only nod in agreement in front of the facts.
However, traveling thousands of miles away is not an easy task.
Han ships have never had the experience of being far away from the coastline, going deep into the ocean, and competing with heaven and earth.
He knew nothing about the direction and location of the poison, nor the islands and reefs along the way.
If you want to find out the route to Shendu, it will take at least ten years of continuous exploration into the distance and the investment of countless manpower and material resources before you can gain anything.
But before that, the crisis of building ships still exists.
In fact, it may even be attacked due to the huge investment in exploring the body poison channel.
It is impossible for the emperor, the government, the officials, and the people of the world to watch the ships throwing massive resources into the sea without even hearing a sound.
It is even more impossible for the Qiu Ba of the "Sixth Army" to let Lou Chuan get so many resources to invest in distant exploration.
Therefore, Lou Chuan must find the source of wealth.
And it is an inexhaustible source of wealth.
What better resource to exploit than the endless pods of whales in this ocean?
not to mention……
This is also the key to establishing order in the building's yamen and twisting the building's upper and lower boats into a rope!
Nowadays, since there are no enemies in the Han Dynasty, there is naturally no war.
Therefore, everyone in the upper and lower floors must rely on seniority to get promoted.
Even a fleet commander like Xu Ji who sits on one side can only deal with paperwork and trivial matters all day long.
In the day after day of red tape, there is decay and decay.
Apart from other things, Xu Ji discovered it himself. After he became the captain of Incheon, he gained weight, had a big belly, and lost muscles.
The officials in the building and ship building in Chang'an City were even more miserable.
They have never even seen the appearance of the sea...
Therefore, building ships need a new order and a new system.
A system like Lord Shang's "land and house system for military meritorious lords" stimulates everyone to bravely explore and work hard.
Even a soldier or a sailor is full of energy.
After thinking about this issue clearly, Xu Ji began to write.
Thus, there was the thin booklet he was holding in his hand now.
However, Chen Jiao's whaling fleet was Xu Ji's test subject.
………………………………
Xu Ji stood up, walked to a screen, and opened the curtain covering it, revealing a piece of white paper hanging on the screen.
"Gentlemen, please take a look, this is the provisional regulation that I will enact among you after asking for your Majesty's instructions!" Xu Ji raised his head and said with excitement: "Shang Jun uses farming to support war, and uses war to stimulate farming. The key lies in the land!
"
"And my building ship cannot give you land, but I can give you ships!"
On the screen, nouns were clearly revealed.
He is still Shang Jun’s 20th level military meritorious officer.
Just rewards and incentives, from land, houses, and titles, to fishing boats, fishing licenses, and titles.
The judging criteria has changed from the number of enemies killed to the amount of hunted.
The first-level public servant only needs to hunt and obtain one thousand kilograms of fish (no matter what kind of fish it is). The public servant can be allowed to rent a "boat one step wide and three steps long" from the Lou Chuan Yamen, which is legal.
The right to fish in any waters and sea areas of the Han Dynasty for one year.
But everyone didn't care about the gentleman at all.
Their eyes jumped directly to the sixth-level doctor.
Because the title of a great official is the dividing line between officials and civilians, and the dividing line between gentry and common people.
Although, with the implementation of Chao Cuo’s millet donation system.
In fact, all kinds of titles under Zuo Shuchang have been overflowing.
For example, in the previous Qin Dynasty, the fifth-level officials at the ninth level could enjoy the treatment of kings, own food and towns, and have the privilege of raising soldiers and armored soldiers.
But in the Han Dynasty, these privileges became privileges that required the emperor to issue an edict and be canonized as "Jun So-and-so".
Even so, for the vast majority of people, most people will never have the title of doctor in their lifetime.
Although, the emperor of the Han Dynasty always liked to grant titles.
However, there is an upper limit for the titles granted by the Han family (non-military achievements will overflow when reaching a certain level, and the overflow titles can only be transferred to one's brothers). Moreover, the existence of the descending title system makes it practically impossible for ordinary people to obtain titles.
Any peerage above the fourth level will never break the law unless he lives his whole life.
Therefore, knighthoods above the sixth level are still very popular among the people today.
Every year, there are many big dog owners who spend money to buy a title such as a doctor or a male doctor and go home to show off.
Of all the people present, there were very few people who had the title of doctor.
If you can obtain the title of doctor, your trip to Anton will not be in vain!
Because the Han family allowed the sale of nobility (of course it was a special period and the emperor issued an edict), a high official could sell four thousand shi of corn!
"Three thousand dan of fish caught!" Everyone looked at the black and white words on the screen and murmured in a low voice: "You can be granted the title of 'doctor'... You can rent a stern boat, and you can get a whaling license every three years...
"
Everyone took a deep breath.
Fishing three thousand shi is equivalent to catching 420,000 kilograms!
It seems exaggerated.
But, everyone is hunting whales!
A whale can easily cost thousands of stones or even thousands of stones!
In other words, it seems that as long as you kill a few whales, you can get a prince?
Everyone looked at Xu Ji with doubts.
Seeing this, Xu Ji certainly knew everyone's doubts, so he answered: "All catches are the figures obtained after equal distribution. Of course, the whale envoys and whale censors will be different from the soldiers under their command.
You will enjoy the merit of 10% of the fish caught..."
Even so, everyone still took a breath of cold air.
Especially the heroes of Qilu looked straight at the requirements on the screen.
Even if Xu Ji went on to say: "In addition, the current title system is just for borrowing the title of the Shang Dynasty. It has nothing in common with the current title of the Han family, and it is not guaranteed by laws and regulations and recognized by the government!"
This is naturally the proper meaning of the title.
The Louchuan Yamen currently does not have the strength and strength to allow the country to amend the law and recognize its internal actions.
Therefore, it is actually impossible for these so-called titles to be recognized by the government and the country.
But no one paid attention to this matter anymore.
Compared with real money and silver, the so-called title is actually nothing.
Since everyone has been recruited to make this fortune, of course they all know the current whale price.
Shaofu has clearly marked prices at all ports in Qilu for recycling whale oil, bones and other products.
One pound of fat is one hundred dollars, one pound of bones and muscles is one hundred dollars, one pound of liver oil is one thousand dollars, and if you can get Long Yanxiang, it is five thousand dollars per pound!
In addition, whale skin can also be sold at a high price after being tanned.
Even the most worthless whale baleen, there are still many people who are willing to take it!
In addition to blood and internal organs such as intestines and stomach, everything else in a whale can be sold for money!
And a whale can easily weigh more than a thousand rocks!
Worth hundreds of thousands!
In other words, as long as you can accumulate enough merit to become a doctor, you can get a lease of a "ship" and be allowed to hunt whales.
In a few days, as long as you are lucky and can hunt a whale, you will make a lot of money right away!
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, it no longer matters whether the title is recognized by the country, nor does it matter what benefits it has.
The important thing is that as long as you can get the title of doctor, everyone will achieve it! (To be continued.) 8
