Chapter 516 Disputes about the Navy

Li N's words can be said to be fooled and fooled, and they are just setting the rhythm for them.

That means that if our Tang Dynasty navy is really powerful, it is not a problem for others to attack you. You can drive the warship to other people's chassis and say whether you are convinced or not, if you are not convinced, I will attack you. In this way, the Tang Dynasty will not only show its might in front of those Hu tribes.

Why can he, Li Wen, make people feel that he is better than his father and grandfather? Isn’t war a very big plus?

Sure enough, under Li Neng's preaching, these people were obviously a little moved.

"But the cost of building a warship is too great. Your Majesty just ordered the construction of two thousand ships for the transportation of the canal. I am afraid that the cost of that warship can catch up with ten ships! I still think that Your Majesty should proceed step by step, not overnight!"

Although I didn't go to the Navy to see it with my own eyes, they all knew about these things in the books of the Ministry of War.

"Almost every new policy I have implemented this year is for the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. If it is really implemented properly, the people will spend less. Even if the canal transportation is completed and transported goods, it will leave countless money left in the Tang Dynasty. Hundreds of thousands of people in the Jianghuai River will be freed from it. When they start doing business or farming, they will also add some amount of taxes to the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, this money is not something you should worry about now."

Money matters are the biggest thing, but now Li Qing has solved this biggest thing in just a few words.

These people thought about it and there was nothing to refute Li's refutation. The series of new policies before the Tang Dynasty were indeed to reduce the burden on the people and make money for the Tang Dynasty, but what could the Tang Dynasty's treasury do after making money? These important officials really didn't think much about it before.

"Even if this money is not a problem, how can the navy recruit soldiers? Your Majesty also mentioned in this that every navy should be a good swimmer. This is probably very difficult to achieve? Besides, being in the navy almost means leaving your hometown. If you recruit soldiers, it will be very difficult!"

Liu Yan was obviously not completely convinced by Li Qing, and he still expressed his views from time to time.

"I think I know that after I led the troops to defeat Tubo and Uighurs, there will probably be no forces around the Tang Dynasty who want to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty is now enough. The navy, I do not want to recruit soldiers from the people, but want to recruit some people who have been trained and who can swim skillfully from the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. I can make the military pay of the Dongmu navy twice as much as that of daily life. In addition, setting up a living area on the beach so that the navy stationed in Dongmu can bring their families to them and reunite with their families regularly. With these policies, why worry about not having soldiers wanting to go to the navy?"

Liu Yan and others thought again that Li Yan had nothing to refute about this. In order to promote the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, it seemed that the money was really worth it to recruit some soldiers and build some warships.

"Oh, since Your Majesty has planned everything about the Dongmu Navy, just give the order directly. How can we block it?"

At this time, these talents finally came to their minds. Li Yan was going to Henan Road this time, but in fact he wanted to see how far the navy army reached. Now it seems that the development of the navy army obviously cannot completely satisfy Li Yan, so Li Yan discussed with them about the navy's extra money and people.

In fact, there is one thing that the court officials still understand very clearly, that is, the things that Li Yi did were definitely not for himself, and there was no second possibility except for the Tang Dynasty.

He is already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He has everything he wants, money, status, and freedom. The most important thing is that he has convinced all the surrounding forces. There is no problem with wanting to enjoy happiness.

All of the previous new policies were credited by Li Neng, and at least one-third of the credit was credited by Li Neng.

And to take a step back, after Li Qing told them these suggestions, he ordered the Ministry of War to do these things. The Dongmu Navy was the one who got the benefits in the end. If the navy finally got the lead, Li Qing might not be scolded in history books, so you are definitely not selfish in this matter.

"Your Majesty is the revival of my Tang Dynasty. We are fortunate to be born in this era, so we naturally want to make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous than the Zhenguan and Kaiyuan periods faster. The ability of the sage books we read will naturally be used in the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty!"

In fact, this is what Liu Yan admires Li Yan. He is not a humble person at all. He fully admits his ability and will not avoid what he wants to do.

If there was no monarch like Li Qing in this era, the Tang Dynasty would usher in the biggest catastrophe in history, and it is hard to say what it would eventually become.

In fact, several people still couldn't understand this matter at this time. The reason why they followed Liu Yan's words was entirely due to the reason why Li Yan was the emperor.

However, Li Neng is not a person who pursues reasons. He doesn't want to make everyone understand it with great sincerity, so that everyone can feel that his approach is right. As long as a few key figures agree to this matter, no matter what the remaining people agree to this matter, Li Neng's purpose will be achieved.

At that time, Li Qing decided on this matter in front of these people, saying that he would ask the Ministry of War to execute the things he wrote without saying a word.

It also claimed that Zhang Chong would be named General of the Dongmu Naval Army in the court the next day. Although he was in Henan Road, he sent two reports to the Ministry of War directly, one of which was sent directly to Li Qing for Li Qing to see.

This right was a surprise for Zhang Chong. He had never expected that this incident would end in such a situation. However, after he learned the news, he thought about it carefully and it seemed that Li Qing had already disclosed this incident before leaving him.
