“Today’s topic one is the establishment of the Bank of Communications and certain compensation standards for land acquisition for road construction!”
Qin Yun sat on the throne, while Wang Muzhi stood aside and read the agenda of the court meeting. This is the method that Qin Yun tried. After all, working together is the long-term solution. He can't just decide everything on his own.
"The second topic is about the establishment of the medical school. The royal government will finance the establishment of Qiongzhou Medical College to recruit disciples and promote the medical spirit of saving lives and healing the wounded. Mr. Lu Wei is tentatively appointed as the dean of the medical school."
"Issue three: Are there any limits on military expenditures?"
"Topic 4, the date of the founding of Liang Guo, and Liang Guo Enke..."
Qin Yun raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Muzhi.
"Take this issue away!"
Wang Muzhi paused: "Your Majesty, this is what the ministers played."
Qin Yun: "I have said that the country cannot be established until Ryukyu is destroyed. We will discuss this matter after Ryukyu is destroyed!"
"yes."
…
The ministers took the topic and began to discuss it.
Soon, the first one passed with a high vote. After all, this was a major event related to the future development of Qiongzhou, and no one had any reason to stop it.
The second issue, the establishment of the medical school, has caused controversy. Just like Lu Wei was worried about before, they were also worried about the reaction of the medical family.
Liu Yulin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this medical school is good, but if it is established, I am afraid it will attract resistance from medical families all over the world, and even prohibit doctors from treating the people of Qiongzhou."
Qin Yun snorted coldly: "When we implement the new law in Qiongzhou, we will have a new atmosphere. What do others say that has nothing to do with me in Qiongzhou?"
Liu Yulin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, these people have control over the large and small supply channels of medicinal materials. If we do this, they can impose an embargo on medicinal materials. By then, no matter whether it is for warriors to practice or for ordinary people to seek medical treatment, there will be no medicine. Available."
Qin Yun frowned, this was a very critical question.
The army needs decoctions to strengthen Qi and blood, and the people need medicinal materials for medical treatment. After all, Qiongzhou is just an island and cannot be self-sufficient.
As for Prince Li in western Sichuan, if something like the Little Medical Immortal happened, it was almost impossible to count on it.
Qin Yun looked at everyone, and at this moment Wang Muzhi stood up.
"Your Majesty, we can purchase it from Nanyang."
Qin Yun: "Okay, just buy it from Nanyang. If they impose an embargo on us, then just do it. High-strength alcohol, sugar, and refined salt will not be sold to them."
"yes!"
Qin Yun took advantage of this and asked: "As for the trade with Yue, how is it recovering now?"
Wang Muzhi: "Back to my lord, fleets arrive every day, and coal, rubber, and iron ore are constantly transported into the factory."
"Very good, remember to prevent Japanese attacks and send escort formations."
"Your Majesty, our ship escort capabilities are currently limited. It would be better if we had steamships. I propose to build five more steamships."
Liu Yulin said.
Qin Yun couldn't laugh or cry. He really thought that his Qiongzhou family was rich. A steamship cost at least millions of taels, not counting the various supporting personnel and equipment.
Of course it must be built, aren't we rushing to make progress now?
"There are already three shifts at the shipyard. Please be considerate. Once this group of skilled workers comes out, and then the next group of workers are brought out, the shipyard can be expanded, and more than three ships can be built at the same time. "
Liu Yulin: "Your Majesty, time is not waiting for us. I suggest that the dock be expanded immediately. Even if there are no skilled workers, the dock must be built first."
"There are also Haitang Island and Kuaye Island that also need to be garrisoned."
Qin Yun: "It's simple. Chen Jin, your subordinates will send two battalions to garrison."
"Bai Feiyang, you go too!"
"promise!"
Qin Yun coughed lightly: "Everyone, we are discussing the establishment of a medical school. Don't lie about the topic."
No one has the time to talk about medical school now, they just want to build a strong ship and a powerful gun. Now there are only two factions in Qiongzhou, the radicals and the conservatives.
Radicals think conservatives are too conservative.
Conservatives resented radicals for not being radical enough.
Both sides have only one goal, to strengthen the army, to strengthen the army, or to strengthen the damn army. Some people even want to immediately raise the banner and attack the capital.
Of course, most of these people are naturalized bandit leaders, which is a rebellion. It makes me excited to think about it. It is even more exciting to drive a strong ship and a gun...
Qin Yun said in a deep voice:
"Next, the third question is about whether there is a limit on military spending."
Bai Zhanpeng was the first to stand up: "If he is a grandma, whoever fucking proposes it, I will stab him to death."
As a representative of the military, I naturally hope that the military will be allocated more and more money.
Wang Muzhi paused, but did not dare to speak. Fortunately, Qin Yun said: "I mentioned it!"
Bai Zhanpeng was awkward on the spot, but he said resentfully: "My lord, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in the military, and no matter how miserable you are, you can't be poor in the army."
Qin Yun: "That's the truth, but we can't forget the people's livelihood. Do you know why I set the limit of 30,000 troops?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Qin Yun said: "Soldiers must be good, not numerous, especially in this naval battle. Also, we will never fight for the sake of war. If we forget to fight, we will be in danger, and if we are warlike, we will perish."
"If we compare war to a business, then we can't always make losing deals."
"From now on, military spending cannot exceed one-third of the annual fiscal budget."
"What? My lord, how can this be possible!"
Qin Yun looked at Bai Zhanpeng speechlessly, one third is still less? In the previous life, any country that did this would have been choked to death by the people.
But in ancient times, this seemed to have become commonplace.
Qin Yun: "One third is already a lot!"
"I disagree!"
"I don't agree with it either!" Wang Menghu spoke.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Well, let's do this. You can choose one of 30 million taels of silver every year and one-third."
Liu Yulin had worked in the Ministry of War of Great Xia, and the Ministry of War might not allocate so much money in a year. Many times when he asked the Ministry of Household Affairs, he said he had no money, and it was common for him to owe military pay. Thirty million was a lot!
"I choose thirty million taels!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Wang Muzhi, tell Mr. Liu how much money this year's financial budget is!"
Wang Muzhi stood up and said: "Go back to the prince, one hundred and fifty million taels!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
"This...your lord, where do we get so much money?"
Qin Yuntian said shamelessly: "I borrowed it!"
Everyone was dizzy, borrowed...
Liu Yulin hurriedly said: "Choose one third."
…
At the same time, the Yue Palace.
The Queen Mother's eyes almost popped out of her eyes when she looked at the edict written by her daughter.
"Wang'er, you don't have a fever, right?"
"Are you possessed?"
"You can borrow one hundred million taels of silver if you ask. That's what your father, your father's father's father, and his father have accumulated from generation to generation."
"This edict cannot be issued. If it is issued, the country will be in chaos. Those courtiers who oppose you will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos. By then, the throne may be unstable."
Yue Qing shook his head: "Queen Mother, you don't understand!"
The Queen Mother said solemnly: "Why don't I understand? The Queen Mother has been here before. When a man sleeps with you, he wants to give you the whole world. After sleeping, pat his butt, pick up his pants and leave, don't be too ruthless!"
"This edict cannot be issued!"
Yue Qing: "I have made up my mind!"
"Mother, why don't you take a look at the baby you pulled back outside the door first."
"What baby?"
"Mother, please accompany your son to the school grounds to have a look."
Not long after, the two came to the school grounds.
"Shenji Battalion, one platoon and one battalion, artillery preparation."
"Ready, please give instructions."
"put!"
With a rumble, a row of twelve cannons fired in unison, and the straw man target hundreds of feet away was instantly blown away.
The Queen Mother's mouth turned into a "0" shape.
"Wang'er, is this from Qin Yun?"
Yue Qing nodded: "There are still a few doors at the dock. What are you doing, Queen Mother?"
The Queen Mother turned around and ran back to the palace with her skirt in hand, with tears in her eyes: "I'm going to look for my dowry and see how many cannons I can exchange for it. Prince, from now on no one can bully us orphans and widowed mothers. No one can Don’t even think about it…”
The Queen Mother was widowed at a young age and was beautiful. In order to hold on to the throne of the Yue Kingdom, she was bullied by countless people and even almost lost her virginity several times.
She had waited too long for this day, too long!
