Chapter 824 When a cross-dressing boss meets a men’s cross-dressing boss 58

 Emperor Xianren did not ask Anron to continue tossing about reforms, so Anron was naturally happy to have some time and money.

In fact, Enron has been in the Account Department for such a long time, and it is not completely untouchable. At least he has optimized some small details - such as slightly reforming the accounting method. This will not touch the interests of too many people, and it will not affect the interests of many high-ranking families.

Many people have learned it and it is very useful, so no one objects to it.

So now the accounting department has Enron's accounting method, which is much clearer and clearer than before.

The reason why Enron reformed its accounting methods was also to pave the way for future changes. Otherwise, if the accounting methods were too old-fashioned, it would be inconvenient to do anything, and it would often get half the result with half the effort and be very slow.

As for the investigation of sea trade, Emperor Xianren thought it would be a very easy task. However, it turned out to be a drag on, and it lasted for more than half a year before the matter became somewhat clear.

In fact, An Ran had known for a long time that this matter could not be settled in a short while. Because sea trade was such a huge interest, so many senior officials were involved, it was strange that they would relent so easily, so he naturally tried every means to obstruct Emperor Xianren's investigation.

This matter.

Fortunately, the people from Emperor Xianren's faction were somewhat capable - if the people from Emperor Xianren's faction were incompetent, An Ran would have made suggestions when Emperor Xianren sent people. After all, she didn't want the incompetent people to die in vain -

—Then the investigation came to light.

Soon, Emperor Xianren had a large number of people imprisoned, beheaded and ransacked their homes.

Although some people confuse right and wrong and want to accuse Emperor Xianren of being a fool, people who have not benefited much from sea trade, as well as some upright officials, are naturally opposed to such random accusations. Therefore, from investigation to disposal, sea trade is involved

The major case that came out finally subsided after a vigorous investigation. However, after this process, a year had passed since An Ran made the proposal to Emperor Xianren.

Now that Emperor Xianren has settled the ministers who opposed the lifting of the ban, no one will object when Emperor Xianren brings it up again. After all, those who have a greater relationship with maritime trade are already dead. Those who are in jail are in jail, and others are.

It had little to do with maritime trade. Now that Emperor Xianren proposed opening sea trade, they had no objection. Anyway, it was a great thing to make money for the national treasury, and it had little benefit to them, so naturally they would not object.

After settling the opponents in the DPRK and China, An Ran saw that he could engage in sea trade, so he began to make suggestions to Emperor Xianren.

She is very familiar with this matter, because she has done things like sea trade in some world, and she is very familiar with the routines.

Although different worlds have different environments, the general procedures are always the same. As long as the environment around the dynasty is clearly investigated, Enron is still very familiar with the maritime trade process.

In order to prevent the survey of the environment from taking too long, without conducting sea trade for a while, and not seeing any money, Emperor Xianren was anxious, so An Ran sent people to slowly survey, and at the same time found people who were familiar with the offshore environment, and first carried out the survey in the surrounding area.

Sea trade, and then slowly expanded.

Since those in the court prevented the opening of the sea, it is obvious that sea trade is extremely profitable. Sure enough, the dynasty's porcelain, tea, silk, etc. were shipped out, and spices, fruits, gold, silver, and gems were obtained from the surrounding archipelago in a steady stream.

Flooded into Chu State.

Within a few years, the treasury was full, and Enron also discovered several deserted islands off the coast. She did not mention developing them for the time being, only waiting for the opportunity to talk about them.

Emperor Xianren saw that she was rich, so he asked Anran about the next direction of reform and asked her if she could rectify the government now that she was rich.

Emperor Xianren now realized how powerful An Ran was. With just a small trick, he allowed the treasury, which had only one or two million taels of silver left in his father's hands, to pile up tens of millions of taels of silver.

The means of making money are also very good, so I have become more and more admired by An Ran, and I always ask An Ran about anything.

An Ran said: "Next step, I plan to reorganize the army. Your Majesty, please look at history. It is said that the prosperous dynasty was extremely rich in materials, but because of the incompetence of the army, it was repeatedly invaded and plundered by foreigners. The same is true for our dynasty. Without a strong army,

Protecting the fruitful results of maritime trade is like a three-year-old child carrying gold through a busy city, it is very unsafe."

Emperor Xianren couldn't help but nodded frequently after hearing this, and then said: "How to organize this army? To be honest, sir, after more than a hundred years in our Chu country, many border troops have become warlords, and most of the generals are hereditary.

It is not hereditary, and the replacement of generals is mostly decided by them independently. The central government has no way to change generals on its own. If it wants to force a change of generals, it will often cause their dissatisfaction, border turmoil, and even rebellion."

An Ran said with a smile: "Let's not move them first, and put the navy first."

"Navy?" This is a new term. Emperor Xianren was a little confused and said, "Is it the navy?"

An Ran nodded and said: "Absolutely, but the navy is still different from the navy. Although the border areas have become warlords, they are still stable. If we start trouble with them now, we are afraid that the border will be turbulent, so we don't need to worry about them.

Let’s build the navy first. Your Majesty, after the past three or four years of development, the scope of Chu State’s sea trade has become larger and larger. Whether it is private or our official sea trade merchant ships, they are walking on the vast sea without strong military support.

, are often in danger. In order to protect the interests of the people and the government, a navy must be built to protect the interests of our country at sea. Wei Chen believes that the benefits of maritime trade are so great that overseas countries may not be unaware that there will be disputes when there are benefits. In the future

In a few hundred years, even if the world is dominated by the sea, territorial disputes will inevitably come. If we do not establish a navy early and maritime affairs are unfavorable, it is not certain whether we can maintain such rich interests in the future. With money, we can

I have many ways to settle the border, but if you don’t have money, it will be difficult to do anything.”

Emperor Xianren was attracted by the wonderful prospects she described. He was also worried by the maritime competition she described. He was afraid that he would not make any money in the future. It was difficult to change from extravagance to frugality. The more money he made, the more he was affected.

But there was no money to use it - so he naturally followed An Ran's suggestion and said: "Then everything is up to my husband's arrangement."

Emperor Xianren probably never thought that his conversation with An Ran today would become a historical event, and An Ran's prediction that the sea would be a battleground for military strategists in the next few hundred years has also become a famous saying in history.

At that time, Emperor Xianren was attracted by the wonderful prospects described by An Ran, so he immediately decided to build a navy.

An Ran couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Emperor Xianren had been fooled once again and was no longer planning to cause trouble in the country.

In fact, the reason why An Ran was unwilling to make changes in the local area like Shang Jun, Song Gong, Zhang Gong and other historical figures, but went to engage in maritime trade and build a navy, was mainly because he did not want to compete with the people from the DPRK and China in the small domestic area.

There is a fight over the territory, but there is a vast world out there anyway, so why not look at the world and make twists and turns in reform.

Once she has established a foothold outside, has money, food, and a strong army, and no one else can shake her, it will be easy to start reforming the country - well, if it is not easy, just throw money, food, and the army at her.
