Chapter 228 Goodbye Tianyan
Generally speaking, when it comes to the Silk Road, everyone's first reaction is the camels crossing the desert, the Gobi desert and the Western Regions merchants with big beards and blue eyes. This is true. The Silk Road does start from Chang'an, but where does Chang'an's silk come from? Those treasures from the Western Regions cannot just offer Chang'an a place.
Therefore, the prosperity of the Silk Road is inseparable from the Tang Dynasty's well-connected and convenient inland water transportation and even sea transportation system. Although the Grand Canal dug by Yang Guang, which was burned by the people and the people, ruined himself, it supported the prosperity of the entire Tang Dynasty for three hundred years.
Since the Qing Gang started with the canal transportation, such a large piece of fat must be eaten into his stomach. The boat is naturally the life of the Qing Gang, so the Zhashi proposed to build a ship and received unanimous approval.
But the problem is that Luoyang is not suitable for driving a dock. Firstly, it is because of the south and the north. It is too difficult to find a suitable craftsman in the north. Secondly, it is because the Luoshui is too shallow to build a large ship, but the land price is too expensive. Even from a completely fair perspective, Luoyang is definitely not the first choice for shipbuilding.
Therefore, although the Zhashi was suspicious, he did not suspect that Qin Hao was targeting him specifically, and even if he was sure, he could not tell others.
Shipbuilding in Yangzhou is naturally the first step in Qin Hao's Qing Gang's moving plan. Yangzhou is already prosperous and developed, and the dock is a money-burning business. The importance of the Yangzhou branch is naturally getting bigger and bigger. In addition to Yangzhou, Chang'an, as the capital, is also on the Silk Road, and its status is not below Luoyang. As long as everyone forms the main theme of the Qing Gang, the leader of the Qing Gang will naturally not have to be elected from Luoyang.
It was a coincidence that he had something to do with Duan Lun that day, but when he found out that the large dock of Yangzhou was almost empty now, it was the dock for building buildings for Yang Guang. After the Tang Dynasty unified the world, that place was useless. Even if the Tang Dynasty wanted to use naval troops in the future, it would only be built in Dengzhou, which was just cheap. Qin Hao was the only one who could build it.
That afternoon, Qin Hao gave the Qing Gang an exciting and inspiring speech, which fully made them realize the importance of the ship, especially the big ship and the sea ship. He used his erotic speech to rush everyone's passion and donate them generously. When the meeting ended in the evening, Yangzhou Dock had already raised a full three million pounds of money, and immediately shifted the focus of the Qing Gang from Luoyang.
To be honest, Qin Hao didn't expect that he would raise so much money, but instead made his mind come alive and his ambitions became bigger. Originally, this shipbuilding was the normal development process of the Qing Gang, and he would divide the power to escape the sky rats. But now that there is Yangzhou dock and these three million chunks, why not just get it in one step?
When I read the novels of Time Travel in my previous life, almost one of the protagonists was counted as one, and they could all play a great voyage in the Tang Dynasty. We have not so high requirements. Can we strive to reach the level of the Song Dynasty? If we don’t want to discover a new continent, Southeast Asia is also full of treasures!
He didn't know whether the Tang Dynasty where he was located was parallel time and space, or could it be really worn. If China could really develop ocean trade at the time of Zhenguan, what could it be that kind of thing about Europe's barbarians? Think about it, a few years later, the teacher took a small teaching stick and said on the blackboard, "Qin Hao, a famous thinker, politician and writer, and also the father of the world's navigation." Oh my, I was a little excited.
If you want to do this, you need the support of the court, and then... he has no money.
HNA is a job that costs money. Their three million seems to be quite large, but most of them are still used to build river boats. The remaining few are not enough to build three or five sea boats.
Alas, it seems that we will attract investment again in the future.
Qin Hao originally planned to go and talk to Li Xiaogong first. With his help, his father-in-law has become the real rich man of the Tang Dynasty. He doesn't even know how much money he has. Anyway, he just knows that he can't spend it all, but before he can go out, the inner officials in the palace arrived.
"What? The saint wants to see me?"
Li Shimin summoned him, but he should not be neglected. In fact, he was summoned by Li Shimin in the past, but His Majesty Li Er was very concerned about the growth and things he did in Fengyan Yamen. But when Pei Ji happened before, Li Shimin had not paid attention to him for a long time, which made him feel very up and down. Is it like a tiger to accompany you?
Today, Li Shimin finally wanted to see him. Could it be that he was relieved? Qin Hao thought happily that since he had married Li Xin, he would be Li Er's cousin-in-law. If it were the time to settle the score in the autumn, it would definitely not be the time.
No matter what happens, even if you find fault and scold yourself, it will be a good thing.
So Qin Hao entered the Tai Chi Palace again. Although he could see Li Shimin during this period, it was better to say that it was a pilgrimage than a meeting. It was nothing wrong with saying that this was his first meeting with Li Er in a few months.
After entering the hall, Li Shimin waved and signaled Qin Hao to come over. Qin Hao hurriedly accompanied Xiao and walked carefully to the front. Li Shimin saw him snorting coldly and said, "Sit down, it will be a family in the future. This is not a court service, just be casual."
"Yes, yes." When Qin Hao heard that it was all the family, he happily sat half of his butt on the wooden pier.
"How do you feel when you are newlywed? I'll call you over on a happy day, so I won't resent me."
"How dare you, the Lord will give you any orders."
Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you about some things. I wanted to call you here for a long time, but I can't bother you when you get married. Now that the princess has already taken her home, I'll just calm down. You are a pillar of your own, don't indulge in the gentleness."
"Yes, I wonder what the emperor wants to talk to Weichen?"
"Well, recently you have a wedding, so there are naturally fewer people in the civilized property management. I don't know what it's okay. In recent days, thank you for your blessings, the two folk Buddhist and Taoist sects have completely fought. Today, monks fight Taoist sects tomorrow, and there are even several large-scale armed fights. There are also defenses everywhere among the people. The two factions spare no effort to compete for believers. Alas, I'm here to ask you, the initiator, what should you do?"
After hearing this, Qin Hao quickly knelt down and said, "I am guilty."
Monitoring and guiding public opinion is his job. The emperor knew about such a big thing but didn't know about it. At least it was a crime of dereliction of duty, not to mention that he was precisely responsible for this matter.
Qin Hao thought to himself that it must be over now. Li Shimin was already angry and most of them wanted to spank again, so he took the opportunity to spread the fire out and avenge his private revenge.
