"Your Majesty, I've told you." Qi Yuangong's expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a calm tone, "They seem a little fed up."

"What do you mean?" After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned and asked with a gloomy face, "What are they tired of?"

"Your Majesty, my brother said they train here every day and have honed their skills very well. Your Majesty has given the navy such fine ships and equipment, but they can't fight like the Imperial Army in Liaodong. Both the commanders and the soldiers feel a little guilty. Furthermore, it's been like this year after year, day after day, without the ability to fight. It's a bit discouraging."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, his expression relaxed, and said, "That's perfect. Morale can be boosted. Let them work hard this time. This is their chance to make a contribution."

"Yes, Your Majesty. This is what I told my brother. Your Majesty is wise and powerful. Tell him not to make random guesses." Qi Yuangong said hurriedly.

"Very good, very good!" Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"However, there is one thing I would like to discuss with Your Majesty." Qi Yuangong looked at Zhu Youxiao and said cautiously, "They usually catch some fish for themselves, just to satisfy their hunger. But somehow the Imperial Household Department got wind of this, and they came here to ask them to help catch fish, which they then transport to the capital to sell. They say they can make a good profit."

"But the Royal Navy refused, stating that they were part of the Royal Navy, so how could they possibly go fishing? The people from the Imperial Household Department said they would report this to His Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao frowned, turned to look at Wei Chao and asked, "Is this true? Did the Imperial Household Department receive the report? Why didn't they send it up?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Chao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I haven't received any reports. However, I did hear about this matter. There was indeed such an incident at the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago."

"What's the result?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Chao and asked.

"It's said that it was proposed by a steward of the Imperial Household Department. This person is quite talented. However, this matter was not approved by the Imperial Household Department and was directly rejected. Now, the steward has been sent to Liaodong to collect wool."

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

The Imperial Household Department was able to handle these matters with moderation. This person was truly tactless, daring to reach out to anyone, even to the Royal Navy.

But now the people have been sent to the grassland to collect wool, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has already handled it, so I will not interfere.

Wei Chao thought for a moment and then said, "Although his plan was rejected, the Ministry of Internal Affairs believes that this is a promising idea. Not only can the people of the capital eat fresh fish, but they can also make a lot of money. It can not only feed the people along the coast, but also support the traders along the way."

The logistics of the Ming Dynasty were very developed, and there were numerous post stations across the country. Many local officials had already begun to petition the court for permission to build a straight cement road. As long as the court allowed it, the money would not need to be allocated by the court, and the local gentry would pool the money to build it.

In this era, these wealthy people still had the habit of repairing bridges and roads for the local area. Firstly, it would bring good reputation, and secondly, it would be a profitable thing. Therefore, the local gentry were also very active in this matter.

In addition, freight trade is very developed in Ming Dynasty now, and all localities want to get a piece of the pie through this business, so they can make money.

Many places have already shouted the slogan, "If you want to get rich, build roads first!"

In this situation, how could they not be tempted?

Road construction is something that most local officials love to do, as it not only brings them prestige and achievements, but also benefits. There are so many things that can be done, and you might even make a fortune.

Therefore, local officials were very active, which shows how developed freight was in the Ming Dynasty. Logistics alone supported a lot of people.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has received an imperial edict to expand employment and compete with landlords for tenants, so naturally they have to find ways to do so.

So this fishery transportation plan was brought up.

It can promote employment for people living along the coast and promote the development of the transportation industry, which is a good thing.

So they wanted to give it a try.
