[On the 15th day, Dingwei, he went to the Taihe Hall to give lectures.]
"Today I have something I am quite hesitant about, and I would like to hear your opinions, which is about maritime trade."
As soon as the old emperor finished speaking, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel stepped forward and denied it.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable. I come from the coastal area, where banditry continues all year round. No matter how hard we try, we can never get rid of them all."
[I don't know if it's because of the banditry or because of the sudden arrival of the new Minister of Personnel.]
Ministry of Personnel Left Vice Minister: You can insult everything about me, but you can’t insult my personality! He is that kind of person!
Well, he is.
[But where is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel from? ]
Shen Zhiyi flipped over and clenched his fist angrily.
[Damn it, why are there so many chickens in this place? Kill them, kill them, strangle the devils in the cradle! ! ! ]
Shen Zhiyi’s roar directly made the heads of those present buzz.
I had never seen Shen Zhiyi so excited when I ate some big melons before, but I didn’t expect the coastal banditry to be so powerful.
[I think General Weihu is a good choice. He is from the south, good at swimming, and grew up on a boat. This is you. If you kill the chicken, you will be a hero of the entire Chinese nation.]
I was confused as to why I was suddenly named by Shen Zhiyi.
But when he heard that he could become a hero of the entire Chinese nation, General Weihu suddenly became full of energy. He stood up with the imperial sceptre in his hand and spoke in a firm tone!
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the coastal areas to suppress the bandits!"
"I will kill them all, leaving no one alive!"
The Supervisory Censor stepped forward and said, "General Weihu, you are too angry."
[What's wrong with being angry? I ate your rice. 】
The Supervisory Censor was choked by Shen Zhiyi and shrank back silently.
General Weihu was in a good mood. He didn't know how those pirates made Shen Zhiyi unhappy, but as long as they were killed, he would have no worries.
The old emperor felt very relieved when he saw the Censor being humiliated, but he did not show it on his face.
"Hahaha, the bandit problem must be eliminated. Even if it is not for maritime trade, we have to consider the people in the coastal areas."
The Minister of Revenue came out swiftly.
"Your Majesty, we must indeed suppress the bandits, but we don't have the money to launch a large-scale attack."
General Weihu was unhappy.
"Hey, old man, why are you so broke every day? Is Daye so poor?"
[It seems that there really is. You know how wasteful the emperors of the previous dynasties were. Daye was only established a few years ago, just over 20 years ago. Everything costs money, so you have to go out to sea!]
[Hey, sweet potatoes, my dear sweet potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato meatballs, sweet potato cheese, sweet potato chips, and my dear potatoes, fried potato shreds with peppers, stewed beef brisket with potatoes, stir-fried potato chips, wolf tooth potatoes, baked potatoes, and stewed potatoes with beans, ah ah ah, you must go to the sea, on the other side of the sea and the other side of the mountain there is a group of small sweet potatoes, easy to grow and delicious, drought-resistant and high-yield, ah ah ah yo.]
The old emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court covered their ears. Why did Shen Zhiyi start singing for no reason?
It's really harsh and unpleasant.
But soon everyone found that covering their ears was of no use, Shen Zhiyi's devilish voice floated in everyone's mind, like a lingering aftertaste, lingering, like a ghost.
But Si Nongqing keenly caught Shen Zhiyi's last sentence.
Drought tolerant and high yield!!!
Is this true or false???
"Your Majesty!!!"
Si Nong Qing shouted, and the old emperor also noticed it.
If the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Shen Zhiyi mentioned really have high yields, then it would be a great thing for agriculture!!!
So Shen Zhiyi, where is the specific location?
[Meow, I'm so hungry. Old Emperor, you didn't have breakfast either, aren't you hungry? ]
Everyone was instantly deflated.
There is no cure for polyencephalopathy.
The impatient person wanted to grab Shen Zhiyi's shoulders and shake them hard to shake out everything in his head.
[This place seems to be different from my place. My place has sweet potatoes in America, separated by the Pacific Ocean. But the Pacific Ocean in this world doesn't seem to be as big as the one in my world, but it's about the same size. It's better to be smaller, because if it's smaller, you don't have to go west.]
Okay, go east, they understand.
The Minister of Works stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the entire Ministry of Works still has enough capacity to build large ships. I propose that we go out to sea!"
The Minister of Revenue agreed and said, "I also propose to go to sea!"
General Weihu said in a loud voice: "Hey, old man, you don't have any money."
The Minister of Revenue tilted his head and ignored the other party.
[Hahaha, even if you have no money, you still have to invest to make money. However, so many ministers have proposed going out to sea, will the old emperor agree? ]
[Alas, I hope that this is really the beginning of the Age of Navigation, rather than just a demonstration of national power. Don’t make money, but lose money instead.]
When the old emperor heard this, he refused to do anything that would lose money.
He wants everything. He wants to promote the country's prestige, make money, and also wants things from the outside world.
Anyway, the good things must be his, and the bad ones are not wanted.
Once we have some silver, we will give some money to kill all those bandits.
Perfect!
"Okay, that's it. General Weihu will lead the team this time."
General Wei Hu had been cooped up in the capital for several years. He was overjoyed to finally be able to go out and stretch his muscles. He said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will definitely fulfill my mission."
"Well, Your Majesty, I have a request."
"you say."
"Can I bring my family with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court was in an uproar.
