"well……!"
Looking at the dark heads above the main hall, Ying Feiyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair sofa, could only sigh helplessly.
Hearing the sigh, the ministers thought that their suggestions were about to be adopted by His Majesty, so they all breathed a sigh of relief and lowered their heads, hoping to force Ying Feiyu to give up this idea.
However, Ying Feiyu didn't mean that. Instead, he felt that he had to waste time explaining to them, so he felt irritated!
So he left the job of wasting words to Wang Ben.
He is in charge of the Ministry of War and knows the whole story, so it is most appropriate for him to explain.
"Marquis Tongwu, it's up to you to explain this matter to all your dear friends!"
"yes!"
Wang Ben did not shirk and agreed directly.
"Old Wang, Old Wang...!"
However, Wang Ben put his hands behind his back, held his head high and opened his posture. Just when he was about to open his mouth, Kang Anping pulled the corner of his clothes and winked at the ministers with a smirk on his face.
After all, these people had been officials in the same court for most of their lives. How could he not know what bad ideas this kid was harboring?
He immediately understood and nodded.
"Ahem..."
After a while, Wang Ben cleared his throat and prepared to speak.
The ministers bowed their heads, raised their ears, and were ready to find fault!
"My Daqin originally developed steamships to conquer the overseas islands! Now all the overseas territory belongs to my Daqin! And the natives have also been conquered, so naturally there is no need for so many steamships!"
Wang Ben first started with steamships.
"Marquis Tongwu is right. The overseas territory does belong to our Great Qin, but it also needs to be protected by the navy, so steamships must not be occupied!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old censor Ding Cheng was the first to retort.
"Yes, yes, you can't occupy the steamship. What if there is another unrest overseas?"
"That's right! Just because overseas has become part of the territory of Da Qin, the imperial court will start immigration and truly turn those lands into Da Qin! Since immigration is going to happen, steam ships must be used, so steam ships cannot go fishing! "
"Someone also seconded the proposal...!"
Subsequently, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty spoke one after another and launched fierce rebuttals, saying that they did not agree to use steamships for fishing.
During this period, Wang Ben did not interrupt anyone. It was not until everyone expressed their opinions that he spoke slowly, "Our Daqin currently has two hundred steamships, and twenty are left on the overseas islands. Naval training Thirty ships are needed, eight are used for nest islands, fifty are used for immigrants, and there are at least ninety more ships available!"
"The growth rate of the people of Great Qin is limited. Immigration from Erzhou and Umbrella State is underway, and there is simply not enough population to immigrate to other states!"
"In a few years, after the immigration from Yizhou, Erzhou and Umbrella State has stabilized, the population of Daqin will also increase. It will not be too late to start immigration by then!"
"By that time, the immigration from Erzhou and Umbrella State will be almost complete, and the freed ships can just be used for immigration from other states!"
"Besides, His Majesty never said that all the remaining ships would be used for fishing! If there is a real unrest and the local garrison cannot solve it, the imperial court can still send troops to support!"
Wang Ben said a lot in one breath, rested for a moment, and waited for the rebuttal of these old guys.
"Even if the imperial court has idle ships to deal with unexpected situations, what about the navy? The navy has a limited number of people. If training is neglected due to fishing, the navy will not be able to cope with any emergencies!"
"That's right! No matter how powerful the navy is, if it has been idle for a period of time, it will be in a hurry and lose the opportunity to fight again!"
"Your Majesty, don't let the navy go fishing...!"
After a few words of exchange, the courtiers handed over their hands and expressed their feelings to Ying Feiyu.
However, Ying Feiyu held his chin with one hand and did not answer. Instead, Wang Ben took over the conversation, "Who said the navy should abandon its training? His Majesty has already ordered that the navy be divided into two, and half will remain in Nanhai City's military Base training, another wave of fishing trips, and rotation at regular intervals! In this way, you can make money fishing without delaying your training!"
"Making money? Our Daqin has just seized a large amount of loot and the treasury is rich. Do we still need to use fishing to make money? If the people knew about it, wouldn't they laugh out loud?"
These words really made the old censor very angry.
This new Majesty truly has the Midas touch to lead the courtiers and people to a better life.
But if the word "money" is attached to everything, everything is based on money, and even the majesty of the Qin Dynasty is ignored, they will not agree.
"Old man, you don't want to delay your training. You have nothing to refute, right? You started to find faults, saying that you have lost your dignity? Can your dignity be used as food? Can it be used as money? I will exchange my dignity for yours. Do you want to exchange the wealth of your family?"
This time, before Wang Ben could speak, Kang Anping was the first to refute.
If he had to tell me, Wang Ben would be too gentle with this old guy!
We must not tolerate trolls like them!
"you you you……"
The old man was so angry at his words that he pointed at Kang Anping for a long time without saying a word.
"What are you doing? Do you want to change it?"
Kang Anping held his head high and asked provocatively.
"A certain... certain Qingfeng with two sleeves, how could he ever have a fortune? Shangshu Kang, please don't spit blood! Ahem...!"
Ding Cheng was so angry that he coughed.
"Is the Wan Guan family rich enough now? Doesn't anyone we call in the court have Wan Guan family wealth?"
Kang Anping couldn't help but sneer and glanced at everyone present.
The ministers avoided his gaze in embarrassment.
Because it is.
In recent years, the land has had a bumper harvest and food production has increased dramatically. It can be sold for a lot of money every year.
Coupled with investing in shares and following the trend of doing business, everyone's life is better than before, and a huge wealth is really nothing!
"You old man is either lying and crying about poverty, or you really have no money and don't care about others!"
Kang Anping was not used to that, so he exposed him on the spot.
"Our Great Qin has never stopped researching and updating weapons. Every time it is updated, the power is much higher than before. Doesn't this represent the majesty of our Great Qin? Does the majesty have to place the soldiers there?"
"Besides, Yushi Ning had previously proposed large-scale disarmament. Wouldn't this have any impact on the dignity of the imperial court? Would it have no impact on the stability of the Qin Dynasty?"
"Now His Majesty is only dedicating part of the navy to fishing, and you keep talking about it! Let me see, to put it bluntly, you are just afraid of losing face...!"
Kang Anping's words were much more direct than Wang Bi's, and several censors were speechless when he directly criticized him.
"You...don't talk nonsense...X...X has never thought of it this way!"
Ding Cheng jumped up and down in anger.
"Yes! You really didn't think so, but that's what you did! The imperial court has indeed just received a sum of loot, but this is the only time in the Qin Dynasty. It is impossible to think of such a good thing again in the future! Is it true that the Qin Dynasty will last forever? Are you just counting on this little money?"
"Money is getting less and less as we spend it. What will we do when all the money is spent in the future? Is it possible that Ding Yushi will find a way to make money?"
Wang Bi and Kang Anping spoke out one after another, throwing a hot potato to Ding Cheng.
