Chapter 1235: Continuing the Past and Forging the Future (125) Question

Listening to Gao Yuan's words, He Weiyuan was in his heart for a moment and said, "But if the king, if the Li family's long-term fleet was allowed to be so crowded and annexed other maritime merchants, in the long run, the Han shipping and overseas trade would have to be in the hands of all the people, which would be unfavorable to the country."

Gao Yuan nodded: "You really got to the point. Wu's wine industry is also a giant among the big Han business names. However, in addition to taxation, the wine thing has not had a particularly big impact on the country and the people. Wu Yizheng is also very conscious. Although he has huge funds, he never mixes with other industries, such as shipping, weapons, minerals, etc. This is the maturity of Wu Yizheng, but sea trade is related to the overseas expansion, trade, and the strength of the navy of our Han. This is different. Li Can's pattern is still a little smaller, and he really needs to be beaten."

"It turns out that the king is already confident!" He Weiyuan smiled.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly and stopped saying a word. In fact, among the members of the congressmen who were about to jump out to impeach Li Can today, one of them was ordered by Cao Tianci, who held detailed evidence of the actions of the Li fleet. Of course, this matter was not worthy of being told by outsiders, and even his own personal guard commander was not aware of it.

With the years of voyages of Kou Shuguang's naval fleet, more private capital has joined, not only bringing back a lot of wealth from overseas, but also bringing back the domestic shipbuilding industry to flourish. Larger ships have entered the final experimental stage in the shipyards in Fenzhou, Cangzhou. Kou Shuguang is ambitiously preparing to carry out a longer-distance voyage to seize more territory and greater wealth for the Han Dynasty.

After several years of long voyage, the navy commander's vision was far beyond the comparison of these ministers in the country. Because Gao Yuan secretly summoned him and gave him a unique gift, a globe made by Gao Yuan himself. Seeing the geographical distribution map drawn by Gao Yuan strokes and drawings on it, Kou Shuguang was extremely shocked. He thought he had found the end of the world, but now he realized that what he was there was nothing but a corner of the place.

"King, I want to build a powerful kingdom for you that will never set!" He knelt in front of Gao Yuan, and made a vow.

Gao Yuan’s true thoughts are exactly like this. His greatest wish is to put the banner of the Han Dynasty in every corner of the world. To realize this ideal, a powerful and unparalleled navy is naturally indispensable. However, now, his main goal is still in the country. Without clearing all the enemies in the Central Plains and building this powerful empire, this goal will never be achieved.

But now, it is still in a stage of exploration and experimentation. The lack of national strength has made Gao Yuan necessary to rely on private capital, mainly the country, supplement the people, and bait to encourage businessmen with a large number of strong capital in China to join this long-distance adventure.

Li Can's Li family has an innate advantage in sailing far away, and Kou Shuguang's navy had to rely on the power of Li family at the beginning. But now, the Li family fleet has crossed the boundaries. Gao Yuan hopes that the people will have a large number of fleets and train more excellent sailors, but this does not mean that there is a family's strength above the water surface in the future that can compete with the country's navy.

Diversified and mutual restraint is in line with the overall national interests of the Han Dynasty, which is also the reason why Gao Yuan wants to attack Li Can.

"King, the questioning has begun!" Seeing Gao Yuan wandering a little in the sky, He Weiyuan behind him whispered.

Gao Yuan came back to his senses, withdrew his thoughts, and looked down. Jiang Jiaquan's overall work report had ended. Now it was the turn of ministers to come to power and accept inquiries from the general assemblymen.

The time spent by Ye Chong of the Ministry of National Defense was very short. It was the time to use troops. Moreover, the Han army has always been respected by all walks of life. After Ye Chong made a report, only one member of parliament expressed his complaints about the Third Military Region's dispatch of a large number of local guards away from his hometown.

The police department Cao Tianci was attacked more, mainly due to the dismissal of local guards and the progress of the construction of local police stations has slowed down, which has led to a tendency for local public security, especially in some remote areas. As the police minister, Cao Tianci said that he would urge the preparations of local police stations as soon as possible, and strive to complete all preparations within this year to get the work on track. Another point is the flow of funds from the National Security Bureau. The National Security Bureau's expenditure is huge, and most of the funds are not for public use. Cao Tianci was not polite about such inquiries and told the inquiring member coldly that if you want to understand the purpose of these funds, you can submit a written report to the Political Affairs Hall first. After the approval of the Political Affairs Hall, and then submit it to the King for approval, you can inquire. As soon as this answer was released, the Congressman immediately became angry, sat down depressedly, and said nothing more.

Wang Wudi, the famous iron cockerel, was in charge of the Ministry of Finance. Most of his attacks on him came from remote prefectures and counties. He believed that Wang Wudi was not strong in support of the national assistance plan, which made the wealthy counties in the Han Dynasty more and more, and the poorer ones became poorer. He demanded that the support for poor prefectures and counties be increased in the next year.

When it was the Ministry of Works, because Guo Quan was absent, Wu Kai, who was in charge of the Ministry of Works, had to come to power and accept the questioning of the Grand Secretaries. As expected, as soon as Wu Kai came to power, surging artillery fire followed one after another. After several questions, Wu Kai sweated and was speechless. He stared at the financial materials provided by the two left and right ministers of the Ministry of Works in his hand, and had the intention to kill them. The Grand Secretaries who questioned these were obviously prepared, and all the troubles appeared in the bidding and sale of newly vacant land, based on evidence, and pointed out the tricks of some officials in the construction of Jicheng in this time.

Wu Qi was sweating profusely. He usually only took charge of one big direction, but the general affairs of the giant body were managed by two ministers of the Ministry of Works. At this time, he was facing a sharper problem, and was poor and poor to deal with it.

"It seems that the Ministry of Works has a big problem!" Gao Yuan frowned slightly.

"Wang Shang, the construction of the new city is equivalent to more than double the old Jicheng. With such a large project, it is natural that some problems arise. Some profiteers are probably omnipresent. Of course, some officials of the Ministry of Works are probably dragged down. This time it seems that Wu Yizheng is a little difficult to pass." He Weiyuan said.

"Guo Quan has never been in Jicheng, so he is a little arrogant. However, even in Jicheng, he is afraid that he will not understand these things here. Maybe he will be surrounded by some. With Guo Quan's temperament, he may not know about it at all. He has been away all the time, which is a good thing. Is this considered a great wise and stupid?" Gao Yuan turned around and looked at He Weiyuan.

He Weiyuan suddenly laughed, "It seems that Guo Shangshu is not a wise man, but he is just a life of working. If he really wants him to sit in the lobby and submit documents all day long, he will be afraid that he will be suffocated. Guo Shangshu knows what he can do and what he can't do. This is his preciousness."

"Guo Quan is old and has been running around for many years. He has been physically overdrawn. A memorial some time ago said that the arteries of the east and west are about to be connected. He has been doing this project for more than two years. So after he finished this, he summoned him back to Jicheng and let him take a break!" Gao Yuan touched his chin and said, "Even if it is an old cow, it's time to enjoy it."

"This is the king who cares about his subordinates. If he changes someone, a hardworking and hardworking general like Guo Shangshu, will he recall him?" He Weiyuan said.

"Guo Quan has brought out many people over the years. Last time I heard from Tianci that the several officials of the Ministry of Works who have been following him were not only skilled, but also had a distinct Guo Quan brand. The prototype of the new generation of old ox has emerged. If Old Guo retreats, those can be reused." Gao Yuan smiled.

"If Shangshu Guo retreated, it should be the Left Minister of Works, Mr. Chen Tao, would have taken over!"

Gao Yuan pointed to the surging venue below: "Chen Tao presided over the daily work of the Ministry of Works. Just look at the following situation, there are many problems here. It is not whether he can take over the Ministry of Works, but whether he can escape unscathed. Humph, after the Grand Parliament, I am afraid that the Procuratorate will start investigating the corruption and dereliction of duty in the expansion of Jicheng."

He Weiyuan's heart was terrified. The king's light words meant that many people wanted to lose their official hats and their heads. The Han Dynasty punished corruption extremely severely.

Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked. He Weiyuan turned around and opened a crack in the door. When he saw the people outside, he couldn't help but wonder that it was Yi Bin, deputy director of the National Security Bureau. Seeing the anxious expression on his face, He Weiyuan also suddenly raised his heart. The people of the National Security Bureau have always been very cunning and rarely have such a look. Could it be that something happened in Jinyang?

"Your Majesty, Deputy Director Yi is here." He Weiyuan turned around and said.

"Let him come in!" Gao Yuan held the teacup in one hand, and was enjoying the savage Wu Kai and a group of MPs who were savoring the lawsuit with interest.

"King, the National Security Bureau has just received a letter from the Liaoxi County Branch. The Minister of Works, Guo Quan, has passed away!" Yi Bin stepped into the door and reported to Gao Yuan: "The report from the Liaoxi County Magistrate Zheng Jun should arrive in Jicheng soon."

With a bang, the teacup in Gao Yuan's hand fell to the ground, smashed to pieces, and his face was filled with a look of astonishment.

"King!" He Weiyuan took a step forward.

The astonishment gradually turned into a look of regret. Gao Yuan stood up with his hands on the armrest of the chair, as if he had used a lot of force, paused a little, took a step forward, reached out and lifted the bead curtain, stepped out, and stood on the terrace of the private room.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Grand Council, the fierce quarrel came to an abrupt end, and everyone turned to look at the king who appeared on the second floor. Every time they questioned, the king would be in the private room on the second floor. This is something everyone knows, but the king has never appeared and never expressed his opinions. But today, something unexpected happened to everyone. Wu Kai felt even more overwhelmed, and it seemed that he had been sad at this level.
