Chapter 1006 Shipbuilding
Xiao Ruxun felt that his time was running out.

I don't know if all emperors have such troubles.

Not only to resume production and start construction, but also to clean up the political storm. While helping Yuan Huang provide materials to build the Dachi Road, at the same time arrest the members of Zhu Ming's clan who have a relatively large influence in the local area, and they are visitors from afar. With North Korea doing things east and west, it also needs to engage in shipping and shipping, and finally, it has to give Yuan Yan face-to-face instructions.

The task he entrusted to Yuan Yan was to build ships, many large ships. For him now, he not only needs to vigorously expand the navy, but also needs a large number of merchant ships at sea. For the coming era of great navigation belonging to the Great Qin, Xiao Ruxun wants to Be fully prepared.

"Vessels of all colors must be in stock. This year we need at least one hundred sea-going ships to launch. You have enough manpower, and you don't lack timber. The location of Luzon is very good. You must take good care of it. If you complete the task perfectly , You are the most responsible for the great Qin's prosperity."

Yuan Yan obeyed Xiao Ruxun's appointment.

"The matter entrusted by His Majesty, I must do my best to do it."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

He trusted Yuan Yan, otherwise he would not have handed over Luzon to him during the Burmese period. Although there is a world now, Luzon is still a very important place, and it will be a while before it is handed over to Yuan Yan. If no suitable replacement can be found, Yuan Yan can be transferred back to be in charge of the shipping and shipping department.

So Xiao Ruxun also hoped to clarify the matter, so that Yuan Yan would not feel alienated.

"Ruosi, I won't talk too much about some things, but I hope you understand that you are one of the few people I can truly trust and entrust with important matters. Although Luzon is far away from the Central Plains and is not a developed place, but for you For Da Qin, the importance of Lu Song is self-evident.

I will put you in Burma to build ships to reclaim wasteland, gather the Chinese descendants in Southeast Asia, and I will organize some immigrants to live in Luzon later, so as to firmly control Luzon. In the future, Luzon will be of greater use.

And you, if I can find someone who can replace you, I will transfer you back to be in charge of the shipping and shipping department, but now I really can't find anyone who can compare with you, so I can only wrong you temporarily Working in Luzon. "

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to me, and I am very grateful. I will strictly abide by His Majesty's wishes, and I will never let Your Majesty down!"

Yuan Yan's heart is settled, so she has nothing to say.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Ruxun was a little worried that he didn't recruit him to the Central Plains after he became emperor. He was worried that he would be alienated from Xiao Ruxun, so he took this opportunity to come to the capital to meet Xiao Ruxun and ask about his future. Yes, look what happened to the father.

Father Yuan Huang couldn't forgive Xiao Ruxun's actions, so everyone knew about his refusal to be an official in the court, and so did Yuan Yan, so at first he was worried that Xiao Ruxun would be dissatisfied with him.

He is in favor of Xiao Ruxun's enthronement as emperor. His loyalty to Xiao Ruxun is not inferior to that of his father. Like Chen Longzheng, he has long been convinced. He is very worried about his father's actions. In front of Zhongxiao, if there is a choice, he will be very pain of.

However, the compromise made by his father and Xiao Ruxun made him relax a little.

He learned that his father was willing to build a great road for the world, and Xiao Ruxun no longer pursued Yuan Huang's reluctance to support him, and was as affectionate to Yuan Yan as ever.

Yuan Yan lived here with the best food and the most rewards, which made Yuan Yan a little uneasy.

But he didn't need to worry at all, Xiao Ruxun just felt guilty towards Yuan Huang, and hoped to make some compensation to Yuan Yan, which could be regarded as compensation to Yuan Huang.

Yuan Yan didn't know about this, so he decided to ask Xiao Ruxun what he thought of Yuan Huang.

"Ruosi, don't worry about this."

Seeing Yuan Yan's doubts and worries, Xiao Ruxun explained to him in a gentle voice: "Your father and son and Chen Long are the first three literati under my command, and the only literati who were willing to support me at that time. Your status in my heart is different from that of others. of.

You can do what other people can’t do. I can’t tolerate other people’s things, and it’s different for you. Mr. Yuan is indispensable to me. Without Mr. Yuan, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Although Mr. Yuan I can't understand me, but I won't be angry, and I won't blame you, so don't worry. "

With Xiao Ruxun's personal promise, Yuan Yan finally felt relieved.

"On behalf of my father, I apologize to His Majesty."

"It's okay."

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand: "The envoys from France and Genoa in Europe came to Daqin together. They want to do business with Daqin. This ship is extremely needed. We need a large number of ships so that we can sell the porcelain. The price of gold requires enough warships, so that we can keep our gold, you have a heavy responsibility, Ruosi, don't let me down."

Yuan Yan knelt down on the ground and thanked Xiao Ruxun for her trust.

In addition to Tianjin Wei, Xiao Ruxun is also recruiting people to build shipyards in Lingshanwei in Laizhou Prefecture, Jinshanwei in Songjiang Prefecture, and Guanhaiwei in Ningbo Prefecture.

Including the Burmese shipyard and the Luzon shipyard, there are a total of six shipyards. Xiao Ruxun's huge demand for seagoing ships made the courtiers secretly startled, wondering what kind of waves the emperor planned to create on the sea.

It’s just that they are very clear, because the construction of these six shipyards, especially the four shipyards of Lingshanwei, Jinshanwei, Guanhaiwei, and Tianjinwei, has attracted a large number of people from the surrounding areas to work for the court as shipbuilders. stimulated local development.

Some people need food, clothing, housing, and transportation. They need houses, clothes, food, and shoes. These places will also be open to the outside world for business in the future. Therefore, Xiao Ruxun ordered the state and county governments that manage these four areas to issue orders to encourage people A decree for small business.

In the name of the government, people who are willing to start small businesses are provided with loan principals and extremely low interest rates, so that people with surplus labor at home can borrow money to start small businesses, such as food and drink stalls and stores selling cheap clothes and shoes.

At the same time, Xiao Ruxun also allocated funds to the local government, stipulating that the local government should renovate the city around the shipyard within the specified time limit, build enough houses, and rent or sell them to local people at a relatively low price.

In this way, the economy of these places is stimulated, making them the main population settlements in the future, and forming a corresponding radiation to the surrounding area, attracting more people to come here, developing the maritime economy, reducing people's demand for land and rely.

In order to accomplish these things, Xiao Ruxun has already invested a lot of money, but in the foreseeable future, the demand for this investment will still not decrease.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun accelerated the speed of accumulating money, and obtained the huge wealth accumulated by the relatives and vassals of the Ming Dynasty, so as to provide funds for his own policies.
