When the Chongzheng Palace was in progress, Wu Haogu was drinking tea with Zhang Shuye in the military computer room not too far from Chongzheng Palace while talking about the reorganization of the Coastal Maritime Control Department.

To be honest, the coastal market control department has developed to this day and has long become a wildly growing monster, completely different from the other twenty pacifiers under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. This is not a pacifier or a transfer route, nor is it a combination of the two, nor is it an organization similar to the vassal states in the late Tang Dynasty, but a prototype of a colonial empire!

The name of the Coastal Maritime Control Department is completely wrong, and it should be changed to the Ministry of Navy and Colonial Affairs (province).

This yamen is doing the navy and the development of colonies, and it is quite successful and has no competitors!

There is a blockage on the other side of the Sanfoqi Strait, half of the earth east to the American continent is the dominant position of the Song Dynasty coastal Maritime Control Department, which is a complete monopoly of the colonial empire. If you don’t succeed, don’t play!

The operation and foundation of this coastal maritime system are like the capitalist colonial empire that emerged in the era of navigation in history, relying on the navy as the basis, first occupying maritime nodes and controlling maritime transportation lines, so as to seize wealth and support the development of the navy and colonial cause.

Under this model, the colonial empire operates like a well-run company, with strong core competitiveness (navy), prioritizes the most profitable market (maritime nodes and major routes), can generate stable and abundant cash flow (through trade and road blocking fees), and does not blindly expand investment (not blindly launch large-scale immigration).

In addition, with strong sea control, the Coastal Maritime Control Department can also fully delegate power to the "colonial governor" below, so that they can have full authority to carry out colonial expansion. At the same time, it will also be supplemented by the missionary activities of the Great Doctorate to control the colonial ideas.

The Coastal Maritime Control Department does need to make a series of adjustments to adapt to its role, that is, the de facto Song Navy and Colonial Affairs Department!

To this end, Wu Haogu planned to separate the defense of Jiehe River and Jiehe Market from the Coastal Maritime Bureau after becoming the Hebei Xuanfu Envoy. The Ministry of Navy and Colonial Affairs did not need to govern the local army Jiehe Market and Jiehe Market's defense and Jiehe Market's defense should be directly under the Hebei Xuanfu Office.

In this way, the Hebei Xuanfu Department will have some basic military power, and the military power that Wu Haogu has accumulated in Jiehe for many years can be justifiedly integrated into the military military of the Song Dynasty. The huge coastal ship system general military computer room can also be transformed into the Hebei Xuanfu Department general military computer room.

At the same time, with the correct positioning, the new coastal ship system can also legitimately establish a navy, appoint colonial commanders, carry out colonial diplomacy, and gain profits from colonial activities.

It can be said that it is a win-win situation!

When Wu Haoguzheng and Zhang Shuye were having a good chat, a small yellow door that was passing the imperial edict came to the military computer room.

"Two military aircraft, the emperor is summoned in Chongzheng Hall, please go there quickly."

Wu Haogu and Zhang Shuye received the oral order, and they were not sure. I don’t know if Zhao Ji would let Wu Haowen take charge of the Coastal Maritime Control Department? These are brothers! Although there are many brothers in this dynasty, father and son are examples of ministers in the same palace, the Coastal Maritime Control Department and the Hebei Xuanfu Department seem to be ordinary yamen.

In Chongzheng Hall, the prime ministers of the two governments, some important officials, as well as the planned recruitment of the Central Secretariat, Hanlin scholars and others have not left, and the court discussion is still in progress.

Zhao Ji looked in a bad mood, and I don’t know if it was because of the death of his old friend Mi Fu?

When Wu Haogu and Zhang Shuye saluted, Zhao Ji kept saying, "Wu Qing, let's talk about the use of the Coastal Maritime Control Department in the North Expedition in the coming North."

Wu Haoguxin said: Zhao Ji's vision is still too close. He only saw the Northern Expedition, but not the Coastal Maritime Control Department itself is a colonial empire!

Thinking of this, Wuhao Ancient Road: "The navy under the Coastal Maritime Control Department can transport food and fodder for the Northern Expedition Army, and can also transport the army to the upper land of Liaodong, disturb the enemy's rear, and restrain the soldiers in the north of Khitan."

"Your Majesty, transporting food and fodder and transporting troops by ship are all the duties of the grain ministers." Zheng Juzhongdao, the head of the Privy Council.

Zhao Ji looked at Wu Haogu, Wu Haogu Road: "It's just a name. It's okay to change the coastal ship system to a sea shipping envoy. Anyway, that's all... One is sea shipping, one is sea management, and the other is overseas commercial city-level management, and of course it will be in charge of the navy."

"Naval?" Su Che asked, "Is this a wing or an imperial guard?"

Wu Haogu replied: "It is neither a wing soldier nor an imperial guard, it should be considered a new army."

"Then should be governed by the Fushu Road, how can it be governed by the shipping road?" Su Zhe stroked his bearded man and said, "And what is the matter with overseas business cities? How could there be so many annual income of 1 million yuan?"

"Yes, how can there be so much income for overseas desert islands?"

"How could the Three Buddhas Kingdom be willing to offer such a good island to us?"

"Did the troops of the Coastal Maritime Control Department go to war with the Three Buddhas and Qi Kingdom?"

The priests present followed Su Che and raised a series of questions.

These people originally thought that overseas deserted islands were a poor place that could not be regained even if they could not get any money. At least they would not be better than the little land that had been lost to Xixia before.

But no one expected that a casual Sanfoqi Strait would be able to scrape 100 pieces in a year... This was handed over to the official family, and I don’t know how many people below have privately divided it!

"1 million coins?" Wu Haogu smiled and immediately led to the topic, "I won't be able to transport so many copper coins back."

What?

Fake?

A fool?

The ministers and official Zhao Ji present frowned at the same time.

Wu Haogu then replied to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, although copper coins are good, they are not necessary for the country. They are not very useful for the Northern Expedition in the future. Therefore, I want the Nanyang Inspection Commission to raise rice and grain in Cham, Java, and Zhenla to transport it back to the country. The gold and silver that consumed millions of gold and silver should be able to transport more than two million stones of rice from Cham, Java, and Zhenla!

What? 2 million stones of rice!?

Food is the most important thing for the people!

2 million stone of rice is much more valuable than 1 million copper coins... No, 2 million stone of rice is much more expensive than 1 million copper coins. Even in Haizhou, a commercial port close to the grain-producing area, the value of 2 million stone of rice will not be less than 2 million copper coins!

"Wu Chongdao, do you say anything you say?" Right Prime Minister Zhang Shangying's mind was turning quickly and he had already calculated clearly. "Doesn't this mean you transported 2 million stones of rice from overseas for no reason? How many liters of rice can you feed?"

As a Confucian official, he is so vulgar. He talks about eating all day long, as if the things in the world are the biggest things to eat.

If you can get 2 million stones of rice from overseas for no reason, you can feed at least hundreds of thousands of people... It seems that there is nothing more important than this!

Why is it for no reason? Wu Haogu thought: It would be fine if he didn't know Su Che, you, Zhang Shangying, is Ji Yi's backstage. Don't you know how many bad things this guy did in the Three Buddhas? Not only did he defeat the Pu Navy, he snatched "Singapore" from the Three Buddhas Kingdom, but he also sent troops to capture the Kingdom of Gadhaha that was stuck in the Clark Strait, and he also ransacked it viciously, scaring all the surrounding big countries and small countries to death.

I really don’t know if Ji Yi believes in the God of Light or the God of Dark?

"Zhang Xianggong," Wu Haogu certainly couldn't say what he said to Zhang Shangying, "2 million stones of rice are actually nothing... It's just that the number of sea boats is limited, otherwise tens of millions of stones can be transported back."

"Ten millions of stones!" Zhao Ji was happy, "Wu Qing, you are bragging. How much does tens of millions of stones cost? Where does the coastal market construction department make so much money? Even if the grain prices in Champa, Java, Zhenla and other places are cheap, you can't buy 10 million stones of rice without three or four million, right?"

What? Buy? What to buy?

Couldn’t Zhao Ji think that the Coastal Maritime Control Department is preparing to buy grain from Chameng, Java, and Zhen La?

Are you mistaken? The evil imperialist colonial robbers asked for some food from the oppressed people of Asia, Africa and Latin America and gave money? The colonial robbers were embarrassed to give it, and the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America were embarrassed to take it!

The 1 million scoop was paid to the ship owner! Rice was free, and it was voluntarily dedicated to the people of Chameng, Java, and Zhenla out of respect and love for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Wu Haogu took a peek at Zhao Ji, who looked like a benevolent and righteous monarch... He didn't look like a vicious robber at all, so he shouldn't tell him the truth.

"Your Majesty," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "It was my negligence. The money still needs to be given. It will cost at least five million shreds of grain to transport back ten million stones. Oh, it is okay to give silk and porcelain. But it cannot be delivered immediately after giving silk. After all, this ship must be built one by one, the sailors must cultivate one by one, and the rice and grain must be cultivated, sowing the seeds... If the court can give Champa, Java and Zhenla some iron farm tools. Those countries have fertile land, abundant rainfall, and warm climate, and the rice can be cooked a few times a year, and the population is not large, so they cannot be eaten. If there is not much, it can be done 20 million stones a year."

It has become 20 million stones again!

True or fake?

The monarch and ministers in Chongzheng Hall were stunned.

Although the Song Dynasty was not very short of food, it was very cost-effective to exchange silk and porcelain for 20 million stones of grain. Because 20 million stones of grain required at least tens of millions of mulberry trees to ensure planting. To obtain silk worth 20 million stones of grain, only up to 2 million mulberry fields is required according to the price comparison between silk and rice in the Song Dynasty. The income obtained by raising silkworms and weaving silk in about 1.7 mulberry fields is equivalent to the income of 11 mu of fertile fields.

If the Song Dynasty could obtain 20 million stones of grain from Southeast Asia every year, then 10 million mu of mulberry fields would be added, and the lives of farmers would be greatly improved... Oh, in fact, not all farmers can benefit, but the farmers on the coast can benefit, and farmers in the inland will suffer from the price of silk falling!
