"That's it!"

Zhu Houzhao has made the final decision. His heart is not towards his literati, so there is no use keeping him!

It was those same craftsmen, but strangers made him even more greedy. Taoist Fu Long, Master Feng Chime's astrological and feng shui skills, and the brains of the crazy researchers from the Sun and Moon Academy all helped him a lot.

When everyone saw this, they didn't say much. After all, the Zhengde Dynasty really had no shortage of people. The Sun and Moon Academy had a large number of talents. Even if some scholars were poached by other dynasties, it would not shake the foundation of the Zhengde Dynasty.

"To carry out trade with various dynasties, the items and resources that need to be traded, after the Ministry of Finance has finalized it, just prepare a report and submit it to me."

"In addition, if private businessmen intend to go to various dynasties to do business, they can also provide a certain degree of support, but they must not violate the rules."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Zuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, and said.

"My lord, I obey the order!"

Wang Zuo nodded in response.

"Opening trade ties and conducting external exchanges with other DPRKs is of vital importance to our DPRK and is related to the long-term development of our DPRK. I would like to ask my two dear friends to pay more attention to this."

"The general will think."

"Your Majesty, I can say without any hesitation that this battleship is a magical weapon that can become an important weapon for our country. I believe that no matter what the cost, as long as this battleship can be manufactured, all efforts will be worth it."

"Your Majesty, this floating battleship is expected to be completed in a few years."

Zhu Houzhao has no cheats, and the national power of the Zhengde Dynasty has not yet reached an incredible level. You still have to be realistic in everything and look at yourself objectively, so as not to make mistakes.

A ghost who understands righteousness!

The floating warship transformation plan was approved by the ministers. Zhu Houzhao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I am very pleased that the ministers understand the righteousness."

Even if the Zhengde Dynasty went through reforms and the treasury revenue increased every year, it would not be possible for Zhu Houzhao to build such a huge floating battleship within a year and a half, which consumed countless resources.

"Once the floating warship is successfully built, our country will have an indestructible sword, which will be of great significance in military strategy."

He was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would say a year, or half a year. In that case, he would rather die in front of Zhu Houzhao than agree.

"well"

They all clearly understand the strategic significance of floating battleships. They are indeed a weapon for the country, but from different positions, they look at the problem from different angles.

Everyone reported that after reading the drawings of the modification of the floating battleship, their faces were either heavy or excited, and their expressions varied.

He even dared to pat his chest and promise that if he was given a floating battleship, he could destroy a country with one man and one ship.

Can the fiscal revenue of the Zhengde Dynasty, excluding the salaries and wages of officials and troops, and various miscellaneous expenditures of local governments, support the smooth progress of the floating warship transformation plan?

The military attachés are much simpler. In their opinion, as long as the floating battleship is successfully transformed, their highlight moment is about to come. They can drive the floating battleship and hit whoever they want, which is not very satisfying.

In the past, wars were fought either on foot, on horseback, or by boat. But with floating warships, it is different. Transporting soldiers and food will be much easier in all aspects. When fighting, you can take advantage of too many innate advantages.

Some people can build airplanes and battleships in minutes, but that's just cheating. It's unreasonable and totally unreasonable.

Li Cheng, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, couldn't wait to speak, his eyes revealing a strong look of desire.

Establishing diplomatic relations with each dynasty requires the intervention of the Ministry of Rites, and conducting trade with each dynasty requires the control of the Ministry of Revenue.

From the emperor's tone of voice, they understood that the emperor actually supported the floating battleship transformation plan, and the reason why he discussed it with them was just to go through a process.

Sun Yuanying's voice was like the sound of a sword, sonorous and powerful, and his whole person was sharp and high-spirited.

A lot of military achievements seemed to be waving to them.

"After talking about developing trade relations with various dynasties, let's talk about the second thing."

"Five years."

A floating battleship had an extraordinary impact in a strategic sense, and for the military, it was enough to change the operational pattern of the Zhengde Dynasty's military system.

"The general seconded the proposal."

"I think what General Li said is absolutely true. If this battleship is completed, our country will have a magical weapon that can deter all parties even if it is not used."

Zhu Houzhao took the drawing of the modification of the floating battleship from the desk, passed it to everyone to see, and said very seriously: "This drawing was presented to me by the Sun and Moon Academy, and it contains a plan for the modification of the floating battleship.

"

"My lord, I agree with the floating battleship transformation plan."

They still clearly see the pros and cons brought by floating battleships. In the short term, it may cause financial turmoil for the Zhengde Dynasty, but in the long run, the benefits that floating battleships can bring to Zhengde Dynasty are absolutely beyond imagination.

.

Zhu Houzhao said sincerely, his eyes wandering between Wang Zuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Liu Yu, the Minister of Rites.

"However, it requires too much resources, so I would like to hear your opinions."

Even if the Tiangang Five Thunder Cannons equipped on the floating battleship are not used, the floating battleship itself has immeasurable strategic value.

Five years?

Hearing this, Wang Zuo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. In five years, the Zhengde Dynasty's finances could still support it.

Zhu Houzhao stretched out the five fingers of his right hand and said with great solemnity: "Mr. Zheng Dashen, who proposed the plan to transform the floating battleship, told me that it will only take five years at most to complete the transformation of the floating battleship."

The first consideration of civilian officials is financial issues. The resources required to build floating battleships can be called a bottomless pit.

Wang Zuo took a deep breath and said with great energy.

Compared with the military department, the civil servants in the cabinet and the six ministries were less enthusiastic, and all of them could not help but shake their heads and sigh.

He is particularly good at using firearms tactics. He performed particularly well in the battle to conquer Annan. He cherishes advanced weapons very much. When he saw the blueprint of the floating battleship at the first sight, he was deeply attracted by this terrifying weapon.

attract.

They couldn't stop what the emperor wanted to do, so they had no choice but to agree. However, they had to know the specific situation first before they could judge whether the Zhengde Dynasty's finances could support the floating battleship transformation plan.

Everyone in the military headquarters spoke one after another, as if they were crazy, their eyes were shining brightly, and they were overjoyed.

"I personally went to the Sun and Moon Academy to verify it. There is at least a 30% chance that it can be built successfully."

They were indeed going crazy, but they were not really crazy. They just felt that an unprecedented moment of glory for their military attachés was coming, and they could not suppress their excitement.

Wang Zuo, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, said with a solemn expression, and everyone stared at Zhu Houzhao in unison.

After all, without their support, it would be difficult to carry out the floating battleship transformation plan, and the imperial court's financial resources are in their hands.

Although the others did not speak, their attitude was very clear. As long as it was not required to be completed within a year and a half and would not damage the foundation of the Zhengde Dynasty, they would not oppose it.

Wang Zuo and others secretly cursed in their hearts. If they had a choice, they would not agree so easily.

No one knows how expensive firewood and rice are. Every time Zhu Houzhao proposed a big plan, a lot of money flowed out of the treasury like running water. They saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts.

It's because the money has flowed out, and there will still be an influx of money. Otherwise, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue would have collectively rushed to Zhu Houzhao to complain to him!

When you watch the white money disappear from your eyes, the pain is indescribable.

Even if the money in the treasury is not their own, officials in the Ministry of Revenue will inevitably feel heartbroken every time they see the money in the treasury decrease.

The last update is a bit late, sorry!
