Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 824 Maritime March Supervision Department

"My Great Song navy cannot protect their normal navigation, and the maritime merchants protect themselves. What's wrong? Our court should reflect instead! Where did our navy go? Why can't we protect our own maritime merchants!" Zhao Huan rushed to hear the news. Li Gang who came said.

Li Gang stood straight, and Song Shiqing, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, and Chen Zimei, who exposed this problem, came.

This is a question of jurisprudence.

Song Shiqing bowed his head and said: "They are violating the law and discipline, armed with weapons, they are conspiring against each other, and most maritime merchants are acting like this, there may be disasters."

Chen Zimei shrank back. At the Xiaochao meeting a few days ago, he gave an example to the officials. Now the whole sea, the real situation is not that the Japanese country bullied the merchants of the Song Dynasty.

Maritime merchants are rich, and after going out to sea, on the lawless sea, rich Song Dynasty merchants can find too many people to cooperate with.

Zhao Huan obviously saw Chen Zimei shrinking back, pointed at Chen Zimei and said, "Chen Zimei, tell me!"

Zhao Huan intends to let Chen Zimei talk about this issue from the perspective of a merchant. Merchants love money and value profit over righteousness, but they are also citizens of the Song Dynasty. The court cannot have only one voice, and needs to listen to the opinions of all parties.

Chen Zimei thought for a while and said: "I think it is necessary to rectify the guards who are entrenched in Ryukyu and Wanli Haitang because of the temporary ban on the sea. Thousands died in the fighting."

Zhao Huan looked at Chen Zimei suspiciously. He originally planned to let Chen Zimei stand by him, but it turned out that Chen Zimei was lucky and went to the enemy directly!

"What this Yan magistrate said, in fact, some maritime merchants dare not tell him that the Chen family maintains the largest guard group in Wanli Haitang. Of course, the role of the Chen family's guards in Wanli Haitang is more to maintain order. Of course, they do not If you are innocent, you will also participate in the battle."

"I think it's better to clean it up again." Chen Zimei wiped the sweat from her forehead. In this winter, she said a few truths, which made him sweat profusely.

Zhao Huan finally understood that the existence of Tangkou Dockyard was not just to offer himself the auspiciousness of eleven thousand materials, but to meet their business needs. It is even conceivable that the main business of Tangkou Dockyard is probably for the Merchants and [Guards] build ships.

[Reminder of historical events: Pirates and plunder certificates, during the period of great Western voyages, holding French plunder certificates, robbing ships of other countries is not illegal, and even reporting the full amount of income and paying taxes at major ports, you can get money from that country. The protection of the country, although the plunder certificate existed for a relatively short period of time, and was replaced by the state-organized plunder after only a dozen years, it is still a historical imprint of the period of great voyages. 】

The reminder of the Great Emperor System came to Zhao Huan. Although Zhao Huan became more proficient in handling state affairs, the number of occurrences of the Great Emperor System became less and less, but it still gave Zhao Huan some historical evidence at critical moments.

Zhao Huan thought for a long time, and asked in his heart: "Can we do the same?"

[No, and there is no need, because we are China.Emperor Song, you have the best people in the world. 】

Zhao Huan thought about the meaning of this sentence carefully, sat up straight and said: "Song Shaoqing, you see that Chen Zimei has admitted his crime, and he fought for profit in the sea outside the region with arms in hand. Do you want to arrest him in court? "

Li Gang stood up. As Dazai, he recovered from the vacation syndrome and felt that if this matter continued to be so noisy, there would be big problems.

He originally planned to go to Mang Mountain to burn incense today, and then to Zhonghun Mountain to offer sacrifices. After resting for a few days, his head seemed to be rusted off.

Li Gang stood up and said: "Officials! Wanli Haitang is the default sea area of ​​the Song Dynasty. It is not outside the territory, but the territory of the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang dumbfounded. A few years ago, when the Song Dynasty banned the sea, why didn't you say it was the territory of the Song Dynasty?
However, no one dared to say no to such a vast seawall.

Because they can't even beat the escort of the sea merchants, let alone the Song Dynasty official army.

Li Gang looked at the officials and knew that there was something wrong with his speech, straightened his clothes and said: "I think these guards should be punished! If it gets worse, these guards will become pirates, and eventually merchants will lose control of them. Will rob the richest Song Dynasty!"

"Looking at the momentary rectification, there may be some mistakes in the maritime trade, and even the taxation of the Municipal Shipbuilding Department has been greatly reduced. But if the rectification is not carried out, the damage will last forever. Please also learn from the officials."

Zhao Huan thought for a long time, and said: "Song Shaoqing, if we designate "Haike", then these maritime merchants, and those who are still guards now, will they also be held accountable?"

Song Shiqing saw his professional field, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the officials, according to the retrospective force of the law and the retrospective force of the judiciary, the crimes committed by these guards belong to the scope of the old and the lesser, that is to say, Cases that occurred before the new law was promulgated, but have not yet been judged, and the new law applies."

"Officials, they are bandits."

Zhao Huan took a deep breath and asked: "Before there were a group of marriage officials who followed Yun Wang Zhao Kai into the palace to rebel. I pardoned them, so can I pardon these guards?"

"After all, the emergence of maritime merchants and guards is because the Song Dynasty has no navy to protect them, and it is because the Song Dynasty court cannot guarantee the safety of their maritime trade. In the end, it is all my fault for the people, and it is my own fault."

Zhao Ying pushed hard with her elbow, and pushed out a large piece of ink in the letter written by the left and right censors. King Yun fell off his horse and died.

If Zhu Fengying's child becomes the prince in the future and successfully inherits the throne, this kind of record will definitely cause trouble for the upper body.

"The officials are benevolent." Li Gang bowed his head and boasted, "I have a compromise. I set up a Maritime Maritime Supervision Department in Tangkou, Fujian, Lingnan and other places to bring these guards into management and monitor them daily. Maritime escorts will be coordinated and arranged by the Maritime Maritime Supervision Department."

"If the time is right, when the officials want to form the Great Song Ocean Navy, they can also select people from these marine divisions to fill the army."

"The "Haike" will regulate and restrict the behavior of maritime merchants. In this way, maritime trade will be gradually regulated."

"In fact, Yanzhi County also mentioned this matter in a letter. The minister has commented on this letter and is about to hand it over to the official Zhu Zhu."

Zhao Huan held Zhazi in his hands, including starting the legislative process, writing "Haike" to restrain the people, establishing the Maritime Maritime Supervision Department to regulate the behavior of escorts, and some opinions on HNA escorts.

Most of Li Gang's comments focused on the establishment of the Supervision Department, and in these places, Li Gang also planned to establish a new Department of Shipping in these places to expand maritime trade.

The position of the station is different, and the vision is naturally different.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang's densely packed annotations, and said with a smile: "Before Yanzhi County went to Zhazi, did you send someone to inquire about it? It has been discussed long ago?"

Li Gang didn't affirm or deny, and said very calmly: "The northern sea is frozen and difficult to navigate. In addition, the New Year is approaching, and the entire seawall is centered on our Great Song Maritime Merchants. They don't move. There are actually not many ships on the sea. Originally, I waited until the Chinese New Year to take it out, so it is most appropriate to do it now."

Zhao Huan patted the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Then Yan Shangao and the others are busy. I'm afraid we won't be able to pass this year."

"The government needs to issue a letter of amnesty." Song Shiqing said with a stiff neck.

　Thank you "another novice" for your reward, and thank you for your support.
