Chapter 819 When a Big Guy in Women's Clothing Meets a Big Guy in Men's Clothing 58
Emperor Xianren didn't ask An Ran to continue to toss about reforms, so An Ran was naturally happy.

In fact, An Ran has been in the Ministry of Accounts for such a long time, and it is not completely untouchable. At least some small details have been optimized-such as a slight reform of the accounting method. This will not touch the interests of too many people, and the big family It is also very useful for people who have learned it, so no one objects.

So now the account department is doing accounts, and with An Ran's accounting method, it is much clearer than before.

The reason why An Ran reformed the bookkeeping method was also to pave the way for future reforms. Otherwise, if the bookkeeping method is too old-fashioned, it is inconvenient to do anything, and it will often get twice the result with half the effort and be very slow.

Emperor Xianren thought it would be an easy task to investigate the maritime trade matter, but in the end, it was procrastinated, and it took more than half a year before the matter had any clues.

In fact, An Ran has long known that this matter will not be settled in a short while, because there are so many high-ranking officials involved in the maritime trade matter, it is strange that they would easily let go, so they tried every means to prevent Emperor Xianren from investigating This issue.

Fortunately, the people from Emperor Xianren’s faction are still a bit capable—if the people from Emperor Xianren’s faction were incapable, An Ran would have raised their opinions when Emperor Xianren sent them back then, after all, she didn’t want those who couldn’t do it to die in vain— - Only then did the investigation get to the bottom of the matter.

Soon, Emperor Xianren sent a large number of people to prison, beheaded some, and ransacked their homes.

Although some people confuse right and wrong and want to call Emperor Xianren a foolish emperor, those who have not benefited from Haimao, as well as some upright officials, naturally object to everyone's random labeling, so from investigation to disposal, Haimao involved The big case that came out, after a vigorous investigation, finally calmed down, but after the approval process, it has been a year since An Ran's proposal to Emperor Xianren.

Now that Emperor Xianren settled the ministers who opposed the lifting of the ban, no one will object when Emperor Xianren mentions this again. After all, those who have a greater relationship with the sea trade are dead, and those who have been imprisoned will be imprisoned. It has little to do with the sea trade. Seeing that Emperor Xianren proposed to open the sea trade now, there is no objection. Anyway, it is a great thing to make money for the treasury, and it has little benefit to them, so they will naturally not object.

After the opponents from the court and China were dealt with, An Ran saw that he could engage in maritime trade, so he began to give advice to Emperor Xianren.

She is familiar with this matter, because she does not know which world she is in, she has engaged in such things as maritime trade, and she is very familiar with the routines.

Although the environment is different in different worlds, the general procedure is always the same. As long as you investigate the surrounding environment of the dynasty, An Ran is still very familiar with the sea trade process.

In order to prevent the investigation of the environment from taking too long, the sea trade will not be carried out for a while, and the money will not be seen. Emperor Xianren is in a hurry, so An Ran sends people to slowly investigate, and at the same time finds people who are familiar with the offshore environment. Sea trade, and then slowly expand.

Since the people in the DPRK prevented the opening of the sea, it is obvious that the sea trade is extremely profitable. Sure enough, the dynasty’s porcelain, tea, silk, etc. were shipped out, and the spices, fruits, gold, silver, and gems from the surrounding islands continued to flow. Influx into Chu State.

In a few years, the national treasury was full, and An Ran also discovered several deserted islands in the outer sea. She didn't mention development for the time being, and only waited for the opportunity to talk about it.

Emperor Xianren saw that he was rich, so he asked An Ran about the next reform direction, and asked her if she could rectify the Chao Gang now that she was rich.

Emperor Xianren saw the power of An Ran at this moment, but it was Xiaolu who let the treasury with only one or two million silver left in his father's hands pile up tens of millions of taels of silver. The method is also powerful, and naturally he admires An Ran more and more, and asks An Ran for everything.

An Ran said: "The next step is to reorganize the army. Your Majesty, please look at the history. It is said that the prosperous dynasty was rich in goods and silk, but because of the poor army, it was repeatedly invaded and looted by foreigners. The same is true for our dynasty. If there is no strong army Protecting the fruitful achievements of maritime trade is like a three-year-old child carrying gold through the busy market, it is very unsafe."

Emperor Xianren couldn't help but nodded frequently when he heard this, and then said: "How to organize this army? To be honest, Mr. Chu, after more than 100 years, many frontier armies have become warlords. Most of the generals are hereditary, but they are not hereditary. , The replacement is mostly decided by them independently, the central government has no way to change the general on its own, and if it is forced to change the general, it often arouses their dissatisfaction, turmoil on the border, and even rebellion."

An Ran smiled and said: "Let's not move them first, and put the navy first."

"Navy?" This is a new term, Emperor Xianren didn't understand, said. "Is it the navy?"

An Ran nodded, and said: "It's about the same, but the navy and the navy are still not the same. Although the border has become a warlord, it is still stable. If we make trouble with them now, we are afraid that the border will be turbulent, so we don't care about them. Let's get the navy first. Your Majesty, after three or four years of development, the scope of Chu's maritime trade has become larger and larger. Whether it is private or our official maritime trade ships, they walk on the vast sea without strong force protection. , often in danger, in order to protect the interests of the people and the government, we must build a navy to protect our interests at sea. I think that the interests of maritime trade are so great that overseas countries may not be unaware of them, and there will be disputes if there are interests. In the future For hundreds of years, the sea will dominate the world, and territorial sea disputes will surely come. If we don’t set up a navy early, the maritime affairs will be unfavorable, and it will not be certain whether we can maintain such lucrative interests in the future. With money, micro I have a lot of ways to settle the frontier, but if there is no money, it will be difficult to do anything."

Emperor Xianren was attracted by the wonderful prospects she described, and also worried by the maritime scrambles she described, for fear that he would not make money in the future-it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, the more money he earns, the more he will be affected. There is no money to use—so he immediately followed An Ran's advice, saying: "Then everything will be arranged by the master."

Emperor Xianren probably never thought that his conversation with An Ran today would become a historical event, and An Ran predicted that in the next few hundred years, the sea would be a battleground for military strategists, and it also became a famous saying in history.

At that time, Emperor Xianren was attracted by the wonderful prospects described by An Ran, so he immediately made a decision and decided to build a navy.

Seeing that Emperor Xianren had been fooled once again, An Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he didn't intend to make trouble in the country anymore.

In fact, the reason why An Ran was unwilling to make changes in the local area like Shang Jun, Song Gong, Zhang Gong and other historical figures, but ran to engage in maritime trade and build a navy was mainly because he did not want to compete with the people in the DPRK and China in that small area of ​​the country. The land is being fought over and over, anyway, there is a vast world out there, so why not look at the world and make reforms in twists and turns.

Once she has gained a foothold outside, has money, food, and a strong army, and no one else can shake her, it will be easy to start reforming the country—well, if it’s not easy, just throw money, food, and the army at him. agree.
