Three Kingdoms: Marry Sun Shangxiang at the beginning

Chapter 541 Why is Liu Feng so rich?
"Your Majesty, you are not afraid of making this a precedent, and being approached by other ministries to ask for money?"

"Want money?"

"Who dares to ask me for money?" Liu Feng squinted his eyes, watching Yong'an, who was riding a bicycle and chasing up to him crookedly, thinking that this guy is a fast learner.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten, Marquis Zheng's Maritime Department?"

"Cough cough..."

Liu Feng suddenly coughed.

Regardless of Zheng He's going to open up a new continent, his maritime department and the shipyards under his command are also the masters of burning money.

At present, the largest shipbuilding workshop in Dahan, one is in Kuaiji and the other is near Liaodong Port.

Because here is the Han Empire, the most ancient and the best quality forests.

Kuaiji deep mountains, Xing'an Mountains in Liaodong.

These woods are excellent for building warships.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Feng saw an acquaintance.

have to……

Sure enough, those who asked for money heard the wind.

"Who are you?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen Kuai Qi, who previously served as Fangling Prefect, is now the Consul General of Jiangling Craftsman Workshop."

"Oh?"

Liu Feng glanced at him unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law.

"My love, what are you doing here?"

"Weichen came here on orders from Liaodong Shipbuilding Workshop, Kuaiji Shipbuilding Workshop, and the newly built Mengzhou Shipbuilding Workshop."

"Haven't all the approvals for this year's 150 Zheng He treasure ships have passed? Why, are your major shipbuilders still short of money?"

"I remember that the big shipyards in the Han Dynasty earned no less than 7000 million taels of silver just for the four-story commercial ship for civilian use and the escort fee."

"The money is not enough for you to squander."

"Your Majesty, don't you want to build an ironclad ship?"

"Our technology is still not leak-proof, and now seven ships have sunk one after another..."

"That's all silver, 7000 taels, half of which will be removed to build a Mengzhou Port, not to mention that His Majesty wants to build the Java Islands port, Linyi Port, and it's still in the South China Sea Exchange. Don't we have to pay for it?"

"With the establishment of 20 navy, we also have to prepare warships..."

"have to."

Liu Feng waved his hand, "Just tell me how much you still need."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Lord Qin Mi, Deputy Chief of the Maritime Affairs Department and Minister of Rites, please see me."

As soon as the words were finished, Qin Mi also came.

Come on, Qin Mi, who was the first to be conferred the title of Marquis of a Thousand Households by the Great Han, and who once persuaded a country to surrender, is another person with a lot of background.

"Zi Chi, what are you doing here?" Liu Feng asked, looking back at Qin Mi.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already learned how to swim and row a boat in Jiangling, and I can also command in the rough sea without getting seasick."

"I even learned how to fish, fish, and how to grow vegetables on the boat."

"And then? What do you want to say."

"I want to learn from Marquis Zheng and go to the West."

"Go to the West?"

"Nowadays Nan is at war, and I won't let Zheng He go. How dare you go?"

"Naturally."

"Where to go?"

"The coast of the Red Sea that His Majesty said, go to Heizhou, and bring back the real Kunlun slaves for Your Majesty."

Liu Feng was moved in his heart, "This trip will mean wandering at sea for more than a year and a half, Qin Mi, can you endure such misery?"

"Even if I prepare [-] soldiers and followers for you, I'm afraid you won't be able to carry it."

"If you make a mistake, who should I choose when I send someone to go on an envoy in the future?"

"Mao Jie, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian are all experts."

"Okay, then this time, I will let Jian Yong accompany you."

"How about you being an ambassador to the West?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Mi knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to Liu Feng.

"However, Your Majesty will review this memorial first." After speaking, Qin Mi held the memorial in both hands and presented it to Liu Feng.

"But it's only 500 million taels, and most of them are still preparing for shipping supplies."

"I'm ready."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Mi kowtowed and cried again.

Liu Feng pointed outside, "But I also have one condition."

"Your Majesty, please order."

"When we go to those deserted islands, we will plant a battle flag of a big man to let those barbarians know that we big men once occupied this place."

Qin Mi: "..."

He thought about it for a while, although he didn't know why His Majesty Mao was so obsessed with this matter, but it seemed that he wouldn't bother to do it, so he could just leave it to the soldiers in front of him to explore the waterway?

Easy thing to do.

"The minister takes orders."

"Secondly, the goods you brought are not for free. Those who give them to other Western countries to show the demeanor of a great power must barter for the value they deserve. Otherwise, you will be guilty of a mission, not Credit."

Qin Mi was sweating profusely. If Liu Feng didn't mention it, he would still think he was going to do it in front of him.

At this moment, he nodded again and again, "I have made a note."

"Okay, here's an imperial decree for you, go down. When you go out to sea, I'll see you off at the seaside."

"Your Majesty will leave." Qin Mi showed some relief, as expected, His Majesty still cared about her.

After Qin Mi left, Liu Feng glanced at Kuai Qi, "What else do you need?"

Kuai Qi's heart skipped a beat, what kind of look is this His Majesty?
It's clearly saying, don't bother me with anything serious.

Do you think it is important that you have a voyage to the West?

Dare to ask for money, do you think I run a bank?

Kuai Qi glanced weakly at his memorial, and stretched out his hand to cover the words 2000 million taels of silver on it.

"Your Majesty, how about 800 million..."

"Huh?" Liu Feng prolonged the word "huh", and his face showed a bit of displeasure.

"How about 500 million..."

"Where do I have so much money?"

Liu Feng shook his hand suddenly, and was about to take advantage of the situation and run away.

"Your Majesty, it can't be less. If one of the three major shipbuilding workshops doesn't have 500 million taels of silver, this year's naval expansion may not be able to proceed as promised."

"Then 500 million taels."

Liu Feng casually grabbed a letterless imperial decree, wrote a few strokes, and threw it to Kuai Qi.

"get out."

"Don't bother me with these shitty things in the future."

"Here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Wei Chen retire."

Kuai Qi was extremely satisfied and ran away as if he had found a treasure.

"Yongan."

"Long live, the servant is here."

"Do you think I want to build some kind of pure and quiet house? Today, I have spent 6000 million taels of silver. Although the big man's bank is also mine, how much silver is there? Make it like this."

"How about His Majesty order Lu Xun to squeeze the little dwarfs who mined silver ore in Iwami Silver Mountain?"

"Well, people from Yingzhou, since they are enslaved, they naturally want to squeeze them out."

"Order, if the two million taels of silver cannot be handed over this year, those short mustaches will not have to eat."

"Here."
