But when he thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt that this was unlikely, because with the current capabilities of Wei, even if they could build warships, to what extent could they achieve?
Besides, I heard that this was the first time for my brother-in-law to see the sea. He had been defending the grassland army in the north before.
With the other party's ability, can they really build a warship?
To this.
Wei Yunyi expressed doubt.
So after some careful consideration, he decided to agree to his brother-in-law's request.
First of all, building warships is not that simple. Secondly, once the navy's pay is increased, it means that the court will have to incur a huge additional expense.
You must know that because of those two major projects, the Ministry of Revenue’s accounts are almost empty.
If the navy's pay is increased, it will be another burden.
This will consume national strength again.
Simply put, it is the other side of warmongering.
Of course, Wei Yunyi also thought that if the navy was strong, he would not have to fear pirate attacks and would be able to protect the safety of coastal areas.
Before this, why did he insist on letting his brother-in-law lead the army even though he knew that he had no military talent? The fundamental reason was that the military strength of the Wei Dynasty was very strong and could not be affected by one or two incompetent generals.
After all, the court still has other great generals, including the Marquis of Shenwu.
As long as we don't lose the war, there will be no problem.
But it is expected.
My brother-in-law is so strong that he can destroy a country in one battle.
Now Wei Yunyi thought that the navy was not strong enough, and there would be no problem if they were trained and built up seriously.
It can not only ensure the safety of the people in the coastal areas, but also allow the court to save more money.
Why not?
As for why Concubine Ying hesitated before.
In fact, the answer is very simple. After all, the one who requested an increase in military pay this time was the other party's brother.
If I say it directly, it might not be good.
Without giving it much thought, he smiled at Concubine Ying and said, "Okay, then let's do as the Liaozhen Commander said and increase the pay for our Great Wei Navy."
Zhao Lingying's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, but she quickly frowned and said, "But Your Majesty, I saw in the memorial that the construction of the Grand Canal and the Weizhi Road has already consumed a huge amount of silver."
"If we increase the navy's pay at this time, wouldn't it be too much pressure on the court?"
She was originally happy that Wei Yunyi was able to increase the military pay for the navy led by her brother.
But I soon thought that at this time.
If the military pay continues to increase, the Ministry of Revenue will simply not be able to bear it.
This will put more pressure on the court and eventually lead to various things happening.
Zhao Lingying thought that His Majesty knew all this, so under normal circumstances, shouldn't His Majesty give it more consideration? Why did he agree so quickly?
She couldn't figure it out.
But soon, Zhao Lingying's mind was slightly moved, and then she said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty must not agree to my brother's request to increase the navy's military pay just because of me!"
That’s right, in Zhao Lingying’s eyes at this moment, the reason why His Majesty agreed.
It’s because I care too much about myself.
After all, increasing military pay is a matter of great importance.
When Wei Yunyi next to him heard this, he was stunned.
Because he completely understood what Concubine Ying was thinking.
Can't help it.
I was wondering whether I should make an excuse.
But the next moment I felt that this seemed to be okay.
Just imagine, if I added burden to the court because of a word from a concubine in the harem... and then the news got out, wouldn't that further solidify my reputation as a tyrant?
After thinking about this, Wei Yunyi suddenly understood. He then looked at Concubine Ying and said softly, "Increasing the navy's pay is for the purpose of bringing back the people living along the coast. This is a good thing. Besides, it's also for my beloved, so there's nothing wrong with it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Lingying was stunned. Her expression changed from panic and hesitation to touching.
Yes, it must be.
It is because of me that Your Majesty agreed to my brother's request.
Otherwise why would you say that?
Zhao Lingying's heart was full of love, and she felt like she was immersed in happiness.
When she first entered the palace, she thought she would be trapped in this deep palace for the rest of her life.
But Your Majesty allowed me to read memorials and do what I like.
Now, because of one sentence.
Instead, he chose to agree to increase military pay.
Zhao Lingying was truly moved, and the joy in her heart was difficult to describe in words. In the end, she could only say, "Your Majesty, thank you very much."
At this moment, she felt that being able to accompany His Majesty in this life was a blessing earned through several lifetimes.
"My beloved concubine, it's really too much for you to do this."
Wei Yunyi smiled and said, "As long as my beloved concubine is happy, I will be satisfied."
After saying that, the two looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
Cuiguo next to her saw this.
I wonder if I should leave now.
But soon, Wei Yunyi spoke again: "Okay, my beloved concubine, let's just leave it at that. It's still early, so you can continue to deal with the memorials. I still have some things to do, so I'll come see you in the evening."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Lingying nodded obediently upon hearing this.
then.
Wei Yunyi didn't stay long either.
Choose to have lunch in the Queen's bedroom, and then plan to return to the bedroom.
Because he could feel that since he took seven Dahuan Pills last time, after practicing for a few days, he was on the verge of a breakthrough.
