Zhao Jiguang actually won a great victory in this battle.
They also annihilated and captured all the pirates, ensuring that there would be no major wars in the coastal areas for the next ten years...
This was completely beyond Wei Yunyi's expectations, because his idea was very simple, that is, he felt that his brother-in-law had military talent, and the navy was not strong enough, and could become stronger than before under the other party's control.
Of course, it can't be too strong. As long as it can stop the pirates and protect the people, it's enough.
In this way, the country's fortune will not be affected and will grow.
But it is possible to keep the people from being disturbed.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
But what about now?
The battle between my brother-in-law and me laid the foundation for the stability of the coastal areas for the next ten years.
Doesn't that mean that the coastal prefectures can take advantage of this time to recuperate and develop with peace of mind?
In this way, the luck will definitely rise.
At this moment, Wei Yunyi was helpless.
Because he had no idea what to say. It felt like everything was beyond his expectations.
The younger brother-in-law destroyed the country, the elder brother-in-law solved the problem of pirates, and the father-in-law successfully carried out reforms, which made the fortune continue to grow and the country more and more prosperous. As an emperor, he was really speechless.
If I were a wise ruler, then there would be nothing to say. I could just lie down and raise the country's strength to the highest level.
But now, the most important thing is to suppress the luck and become a tyrant.
Wei Yunyi was extremely tired.
Looking at Concubine Ying beside him, he couldn't help but force a smile and said, "Good, very good, brother-in-law did a good job, you must reward him!"
He said he wanted to reward him, but he really didn't know how to reward him.
Because deep down, he really doesn't want this to happen.
Backstabbed.
Even giving rewards...
Of course Wei Yunyi was unwilling.
Of course, you don’t have to think about this kind of thing yourself, just hand it over to the cabinet when the time comes.
"Oh, Your Majesty, I have one more thing to tell you." At this moment, Zhao Lingying seemed to have thought of something and said, "My brother said that although there will be no major wars in the coastal areas for many years to come, we cannot let our guard down. So, I hope Your Majesty will approve that the navy can use the extra military pay to build their own warships!"
After saying this, Zhao Lingying looked helpless.
She knew that her brother, in addition to liking to look at nautical charts, was also devoted to studying the construction of various warships.
But building a warship is something that even a shipbuilder who has been immersed in this field for decades cannot do.
The only way is to get the people in the Ministry of Industry to cooperate.
After all, warships are different from other things. Once something goes wrong, you will pay the price with your life.
So when Zhao Lingying first saw her brother's memorial, she felt that she could not agree to it, but then she thought about it and realized that the other party was only using the military pay allocated by the court to the navy.
In fact, as the commander-in-chief of the navy, after consulting with a group of commanders, he can handle everything on his own except ensuring the daily training needs of his soldiers.
Besides, she also knew that His Majesty had just increased the navy's pay some time ago.
So I guess my brother might use the silver to build a ship.
As for Wei Yunyi.
After hearing this, I was stunned at first.
Because he had never expected that his brother-in-law actually had the idea of building a warship.
This is not an easy task. It will take at least a year and a half for the Ministry of Industry to produce a blueprint of a warship.
However, it would be even more difficult to build a warship according to the blueprint. Wei Yunyi knew very well that the warships of the Wei Dynasty were almost all made of wood, which made it even more difficult as various conditions had to be met.
It seems that my brother-in-law has been taught by Marquis Shenwu since he was a child.
Could it be that you have done some research on shipbuilding?
But this doesn't make sense, does it?
The other party doesn't have the time and energy.
As far as he knew, Zhao Jiguang started guarding the northern border when he was in his twenties. There was a powerful grassland army there, and just defending it was very exhausting.
Wei Yunyi didn’t quite understand this, but what could he do?
Now my brother-in-law has made great contributions.
What he feared most was that the other side would take advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminate all the pirates along the coast one by one, and then completely annihilate the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty.
In this way, there will really be no more threats to the coastal areas.
This is not a good thing for me who wants to curb my luck.
Since my brother-in-law wants to build a warship.
It’s better to agree.
In this way, the other side will not continue to fight with those pirates, but will instead start concentrating on studying how to build warships.
Of course, there is a more important point, that is, if the navy is allowed to start building warships, doesn't it mean that he can use more names to continue to allocate military pay to the navy?
Wei Yunyi knew very well that although the Ministry of Revenue seemed to have no money in its accounts, it was only temporary.
The Great Wei Dynasty had the foundation of five generations of wise rulers who worked hard to govern the country.
It's just a temporary lack of money. It may have an impact, but it's definitely not big.
Therefore, you must find a way to spend money.
Although the two major projects cost a lot of money, the money was spent too slowly and was not enough to put the Wei Dynasty under great pressure.
That's why he chose to repair the Longhu Mountain Gate before, in order to find more ways to spend money. Now that his brother-in-law has the idea of building a warship, why not actually support him?
At this moment, the more Wei Yunyi thought about it, the more certain he became that this method was feasible.
