Xue Juzheng came to give advice. He prepared a lot of words and wanted to talk to Chai Rong, but he also thought of many excuses to debate with Ye Hua, but when he saw this secret report, he had no idea.

All I left was shaking my head, why did this happen, how could this happen?

Three thousand navy and hundreds of warships can't help but fight?

If Wu Yue was really such a useless person, the soldiers of the Great Zhou were sitting on the boat and met the Nantang Navy, they would not be surrendered! It seems that Wu Yue is really not worthy of cooperation!

"Mr. Xue, come here in a hurry, what's the matter?" Chai Rong asked in a low voice.

Xue Juzheng came very quickly, "The old minister thinks that since the court is afraid of the Jiangnan Navy, should we build large warships and prepare for the navy?"

"This is natural!"

Chai Rong nodded, "Grandpa Xue, how much money can you allocate to support the navy now?"

"Your Majesty, the military expenditure of the court has always been insufficient. The old minister thought about it and could get one million chunks from everywhere. I just don't know if it's enough?"

Chai Rong glanced at Ye Hua and asked him what he meant.

"Your Majesty, building warships and training navy are all projects that cost a lot of money, and it is much more expensive than raising cavalry and infantry. If all of them are to be borne by the court, I am afraid that all the military expenditure may not be effective in the short term."

"Then how Ye Qing is preparing to develop the navy?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "The navy and the gangster are just two names. If you don't rob, will you still be called the navy?" Ye Hua's robber logic made Chai Rong and Xue Juzheng stunned. Ye Hua is really a shocking kid!

"Your Majesty, if you don't rob me in the vast sea, I will rob you. There is nothing I can do about it. And if you commit crimes at sea, you will directly destroy the corpses and traces, and no one can find them."

"A gentleman is cautious of being alone, and a gentleman is cautious of being alone!" Xue Juzheng shook his head and said, "The imperial court is benevolent, righteous and powerful, and represents the power of the Great Zhou Tianwei. How can he do the robbery of the family?"

Ye Hua disagreed and thought that the navy has not been vegetarian since the day it was born! What about the Zheng He fleet, which claimed to promote the power of heaven and spread benevolence and righteousness? Although historical books record good things that are brilliant and friendly, there are ten countries in the local area that were killed by Zheng He.

Of course, these ten countries may not be very big. Perhaps in the official documents reported to the court, Zheng He only wrote to wipe out ten village bandits. When the officials who were studying history saw it, they simply ignored it.

But no matter what, the navy wants to kill and loot, so there is no need to doubt it!

"Xue Xianggong, the reorganization of the imperial guards has been quite effective. General Zhao and General Han both tried their best to fight and could not go south. What do you think should be left in the capital?"

Of course, I can't stay in Beijing. In fact, Xue Juzheng was worried.

Chai Rong collected the military power of various governors, gathered elite soldiers from all over the world, and selected good generals to train. This is a good thing, and he strongly supported it. But the problem is that one or two hundred thousand arrogant soldiers gathered in the capital, and the training is fine. What will these guys do when they are free? It's unimaginable.

The army has always been a naughty child with overenergy. If you don’t find anything for them, you will only cause trouble for your family.

"What are the tricks of the marquis?"

"Miao Ce dare not say that I thought people should be sent to take turns to the north to capture slaves and fill the labor gap, otherwise someone would call me again."

Everything has its pros and cons, it is indeed not just empty talk.

Take Juntian as an example. When ordinary people have land, their enthusiasm has increased unprecedentedly. Many people leave the city and go home to farm and farm.

Not to mention others, Guanjunfang has left many temporary workers, and there are more people running for mines and cement factories in harsh environments. With fields, who is willing to do dirty work and exchange your life for money?

So now the city of Dazhou is clean, with no scoundrels, no beggars and refugees. However, many workshops and workshops are also short of labor.

Faced with this situation, Ye Hua felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Only when workers are lacking can some bosses force their wages to increase their wages. Otherwise, like Nantang, the world is full of idle people. If you give a few steamed buns money, you will take people away, which will be even more troublesome!

However, there are many dirty and heavy tasks that are very harmful to the body, so it is best to let the slaves fill it.

Ye Hua has already planned to let the imperial guards go out of the Great Wall in batches to arrest people and act as laborers. Ye Hua has set a goal to arrest at least 100,000 people.

Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong were both ready to go, they really liked it.

Instead of going to the south of the Yangtze River, where rivers are everywhere, it is better to go north. The vast grassland is the favorite battlefield for the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, sweeping the grasslands and harvesting a lot.

The war horses can be used directly, the cows are sold to farmers, and the sheep are used to eat meat. The most important thing is the human being!

At present, several huge slave markets have been formed in Youzhou and other places. The slaves captured from the frontier are the men who act as laborers, some women are sent to factories, and some are sold to mainland bachelors.

Even children were useful, because Dazhou completely abolished slaves, and the concubines at home became hired. The workshops and merchants were not allowed to use child labor. Smart businessmen could only turn their minds on foreign slaves.

They buy children and just give them some food and train them for a few years, they can help with things, which is very cost-effective.

There were even some noble and wealthy merchants who chose the mighty Khitans or Shiwei people as guards. In order to verify the courage of these people, some people specially set up competition venues to let them compete.

Similar situations have long been happening in the Tang Dynasty, such as horse riding, archery, polo, and wrestling. Even in the Song Dynasty, there were women's wrestling competitions, and Zhao Zhen, who was known for his kindness, liked them quite well.

The martial Zhou Dynasty naturally would not be so indifferent. They would rather give Khitan weapons, such as shields, short swords, machetes, and spears, to let them fight in the field, blood splashing, and roaring ferociously... Whenever a warrior cut off his opponent's head, he would get tides of applause, and the bets of a game could even reach tens of thousands of cents.

Faced with this situation, Ye Hua only said one thing: Remember to pay taxes!

"It is still very appropriate for a large army to go north and clear the border." Xue Juzheng certainly agreed.

"Since the imperial guards can catch people, what's wrong with the navy robbing? It's all for the Great Zhou, right!" Ye Hua said with a smile.

What's right?

Xue Juzheng was not as sharp as Ye Hua's teeth, so he could only say in a muffled voice: "Anyway, the Privy Council can only squeeze out a budget of one million, and there is nothing else to do."

Ye Hua smiled and said, "One million chunk is enough. Your Majesty, I think this money is enough to build a shipyard, so why not just put it in Jiaozhou?"

"Yes!" Chai Rong said: "It's not enough to have ships alone. Where are my navy? Where are the soldiers?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "Sailor crew members can be recruited along the coast, but we do not have talents in this area of ​​how to fight naval battles, so the group of pirates in Jinghai are really an excellent candidate. Your Majesty must fight for it!"

This is how powerful Ye Hua is. No matter how far he goes, he can rewind the topic in the end and will never be led out of the topic.

Chai Rong still had some doubts, "Can the water troopers really use it?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you invite Mr. Han to come over and let him talk about the power of this group of pirates."

"Han Xizai? Does he know?"

"I know, of course I know. Speaking of which, if the old minister can return to the Central Plains smoothly, is it their boss's righteous move!" Han Xizai smiled and introduced to Chai Rong. The pirate leader who captured Jinghai was surnamed Ren, and he didn't know his original name. Since he became the pirate leader, he has named Ren Tianxing, which means the world's greatness, walking at will... He is very bold!

Han Xizai knew more about it. Ren Tianxing was a wealthy businessman. He inherited his family business in his early years and had tens of thousands of mulberry fields. He was a famous silk merchant.

Later, in order to save the whole industry, he was not satisfied with raising silkworms and releasing silk, he also formed a fleet of five merchant ships to sell silk overseas.

Over the past few years, Ren Tianxing's home business has increased by more than ten times.

But the big tree attracts wind and the money is eye-catching, and the court can't stand it anymore. Wu Yue gathered more than 10,000 people to besiege Ren Tianxing's hometown, hoping to destroy Ren Tianxing in one fell swoop and snatch his fleet away.

Ren Tianxing not only knows how to do business, sail, but also knows how to be a human being. He has good friends in the yamen and the army. Some people are trying their best to reveal the matter to him.

Ren Tianxing made a quick decision and took his family and more than a dozen ships to sail to the sea.

He had already prepared a way out for himself in this business and established a stronghold on the coastal islands.

The house was confiscated, but Ren Tianxing lost his scruples. He let go of expanding his team and increasing the number of merchant ships, and he set his sights on the Persian merchant ships that were traveling.

As early as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, these bearded men crossed the ocean and came to the Central Plains to do business. In Guangzhou, there were about 100,000 yuan, and almost became foreign countries.

When Huang Chao revolted and attacked Lingnan, he slaughtered 70,000 in one go, and blood flowed into a river, and finally scared the bearded man away. This was also one of the good things Huang Chao did.

In recent decades, Persian merchants have come by boat one after another. They are skilled in navigation and have experienced many hardships, which is very impressive.

No one dared to compete with Persian merchants, but Ren Tianxing, with his hands several attacks, robbed ships, plundered wealth, and threw the armed Persian merchants into the sea.

Over the years, Ren Tianxing's subordinates had gathered nearly 10,000 people and hundreds of ships. His nest was in the Zhoushan area, and within reach of the power, he could even enter the Yangtze River and reach the Jinling line.

Even the Yangtze River Navy of Southern Tang did not dare to provoke these sea bandits easily!

Ren Tianxing often said that there is an emperor in the Central Plains, an emperor in the Jiangnan, and a king in Wu and Yue, but I am the emperor overseas and I want to compete with them. The ground matter is yours, but the water surface has to listen to me!

Listening to Han Xizai's introduction, Ye Hua couldn't help but shake his head. Isn't this girl the One Piece?

"Kun Han, according to the secret report, this time it was because the Yao family who occupied Jinghai, who privately issued as a hundred dollars and made money crazy. The local people were in great distress. I heard that a young man went out to sea to meet Ren Tianxing, so he agreed to send troops to rescue the people! A total of 5,000 people were sent, and Wu Yue's navy in Jinghai was wiped out!"

Han Xizai grabbed his beard and said happily: "It seems like this person did it. He has courage and strength! Your Majesty, Marquis, if this person can serve the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will not be difficult to cross the river!"
