The canal transport must be managed. Nowadays, the imperial court has four million stones of grain transported north every year, which is usually only about two million stones, and the rest can only be broken or consumed.&1t;/p>

The loss is high, and the burden on the grain peddlers is heavy. The grain peddlers also have to survive! Officials also have to make money! So we work together. The officials will take the food and get the money peddled, and the grain peddlers will also carry it privately, or steal food in the middle, and then report it as loss. When the grain transport ship returns to the south, they can still transport a ship of salt back.&1t;/p>

How to manage the canal transportation and how to operate the sea transportation in detail, Zhu Youxiao wrote a letter to Yuan Keli and discussed it with Yuan Keli. After all, at this time, Yuan Keli, the governor of Yuan Keli, must have been presided over the change of the canal transportation on the sea route.&1t;/p>

Yuan Keli quickly replied to Zhu Youxiao, but did not submit the memorial normally. After all, this was a private discussion between the monarch and his ministers, and the memorial would pass through the cabinet.&1t;/p>

"The old minister thinks that sea transportation is very convenient, without the worry of river blockage, nor is it as difficult as river transportation, which can reduce losses and save people's strength. It is very feasible. However, river transportation has been maintained for many years, and it may cause trouble in a short time. The strategy of parallel rivers and seas should be adopted first. If this year, four million stones of grain transport are transported, Your Majesty can cut half of the share of river transportation and transport it on the sea route. From the Huai River to the sea, the risk is the lowest. If next year, three million stones of grain can be transported on the sea route, which is more appropriate to decrease year by year."&1t;/p>

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded. It was still an old minister like Yuan Keli who had experience! He originally wanted to destroy the river transportation directly, but he did not think too deeply about the interests of the canal transportation.&1t;/p>

The loss of canal transportation is indeed large, but it also feeds many people.&1t;/p>

Although the grain stewards are burdened, the grain stewards also have gray income, so it can be maintained. This is equivalent to the loss of the country, providing a lot of jobs.&1t;/p>

Of course, those corrupt officials don’t need to consider their interests, but the grain managers have to consider it.&1t;/p>

Suddenly, Heyun was abolished, and some professional Caotei were unemployed?&1t;/p>

Yuan Keli's suggestion is indeed very reasonable. Anyway, the quota of grain transport in Hechuan is only 40,000 shi, which is a little reduced every year, leaving a buffer time for the grain managers to transfer business and other things. There will be no chaos.&1t;/p>

When the river transportation no longer transports grain, those officials and merchants will do whatever they want to do, and want to take the country's sailboat. Let's have a dream of spring and autumn!&1t;/p>

By then, the grain peddlers will not get grain, but it will affect their income. However, the country does not need them to bear the freight, which will also reduce the burden.&1t;/p>

At that time, the Grand Canal and other rivers of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal will still have jobs, and these canals will still have jobs. At that time, the country will not have food transported through the river. No one can dig the corners of the country. As for where the rivers are blocked, the court will not need to spend money to clear them. If the ding is five or six years, most of the river transportation will be abolished.&1t;/p>

By then, all the canal transport will go to the sea. There is no need to make trouble at sea, and there is no place to buy the food on the ship. As long as there is no shipwreck, there will be basically no loss. Merchants will not want to use the canal transport to carry private goods.&1t;/p>

Yuan Keli continued to write in the letter: "When sea ships are used, large ships should be used. They are not afraid of ordinary wind and waves, and they will not easily drown soldiers. In addition, large ships of three thousand materials can transport 6500 stones at a time, and the sailing is faster than small ships, so there are fewer ships required. If they enter the sea from the Huai River, they can transport grains to Tianjin and other places within one month. Every year, the court can do not have to bear the loss of grain transportation, and can transport more grain from the south. It can be said that they can win more than one stone, and only benefit the country and the people."&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao understood that the convenience of this shipping is actually known to everyone. It’s just that shipping cannot dig out the country’s corners, so those officials and officials all suggested to carry out the shipping.&1t;/p>

What kind of development can a river transportation last forever? Sea transportation is the most promising transportation method these days!&1t;/p>

It should be known that scientific experiments have shown that every time a ship's displacement increases by 2 times, the required propulsion force is only 1.5 times. Therefore, the larger the ship is, the smaller the space of the power unit can occupy, and the less fuel can be carried, thus making more space to store goods.&1t;/p>

These days, ships only use sails, although they do not use fuel, but it is also the same reason. Because large ships can use larger sails. Sailboats of the same type can sail faster as long as the displacement is larger.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the larger the ship, the stronger the ability to resist wind and waves.&1t;/p>

With a specific plan, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered Li Chaoqing to draft an order.&1t;/p>

"I passed on my decree and ordered the Governor of Denglai, Yuan Keli, to preside over the launch of sea grain transportation, and the fixed quota of river grain transportation was reduced to two million stones, and the reduced 2 million stone grain was all from the Huaihe River to the sea."&1t;/p>

The Huai River enters the sea because there are islands to shelter the wind, so the boat is much safer. If it is a 1,000-ton large ship, it doesn’t matter. You can go directly to the sea from Songjiang Prefecture.&1t;/p>

Of course, the cost of a large ship is expensive.&1t;/p>

Small boats are cheaper and have a short manufacturing cycle. The Ming Dynasty is a country with very high water transportation. There are ships everywhere in the south, but there are not too many large-tonnage ships.&1t;/p>

After the imperial edict, the Donglin Party immediately started to make trouble.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and Propaganda Party had been expelled from the court by the Donglin Party, and the profit of the canal transportation was their pocket. Suddenly the emperor did not engage in river transportation and went to sea transportation. Wouldn't this cooked ducks fly? Will they still run to the sea to make a fuss?&1t;/p>

This is obviously impossible.&1t;/p>

The transport of grain by sea does not require stopping the ship at all. It is not like a river transportation. If this river is replaced by that river, there will be a 6-way journey in the middle. At this time, the peddlers will sell the grain, and the merchants will stuff private goods in for the peddlers to carry it. The freight is paid by the state.&1t;/p>

As a result, a strange situation was formed. The court asked the grain tuition staff to pay the freight. The grain tuition sold part of the grain tuition of the court and reported it as a loss, and brought the private goods of the merchants with them. As a result, the cost was still paid by the court. These grain tuitions were actually grain households, and they could participate in the transportation without paying land tax, but the cost was several times higher than land tax.&1t;/p>

In addition to the ships for transporting grain, the merchants also have many ships in their hands, transporting goods directly to the north. The cost of river transportation is lower than that of 6 transportation, which is still very cost-effective.&1t;/p>

After looking at Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao waved: "You go back first! Continue to gather some people, I will be useful at any time."&1t;/p>

"Yes, the emperor." Wei Zhongxian saw that Zhu Youxiao was still sitting there thinking about the problem. During this period, Wei Zhongxian could no longer understand the emperor's thoughts, nor did he know what the emperor was thinking.&1t;/p>

Fortunately, I know what the emperor's goal is.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao's mind is indeed a bit complicated. At this time, he was holding a bunch of evidence of the Donglin Party in his hand, and also won over a group of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Propaganda Party horsemen.&1t;/p>

This time, the Donglin Party made Zhu Youxiao very annoyed about the issue of canal transportation, and the long-standing suppressed emotions were about to burst out.&1t;/p>

"Are you killed it in one pot or killed it in batches?" Zhu Youxiao thought about this troublesome issue with a headache. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
