Song Dynasty's Ignorant Prince

195 The sea is the future direction

Now that the effort has finally paid off, His Majesty actually allowed him to go with the army. Liang Shumou is a grain merchant, but he not only trades grain with the army, but also war horses, leather, gold and silver, etc. He can make a lot of money with just a little brainstorm! This time he bet 1 right

Life is a gamble!

Liang Shumou remembered several times of gambling in his life. Because of his precise vision and great courage, he made the right bet several times. That's why he went from being a poor man to now owning more than a dozen grain shops. His men brought a grain team of seven or eight hundred people and three grain ships. And today, he could have a hunch that another take-off would come!

Who else in the Great Song Dynasty can match the power and power of the person in front of him, and can rely on Your Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the Caomin hopes that our grain ships will be able to transport grains. Sea freight saves a lot compared to land transport!" Liang Shumou suddenly said at this time.

"Shipping, are you sure?"

Liang Shumou immediately saluted, "Caomin has been following the sand transport boat since he was twelve or thirteen years old. Later, he bought a boat and began to transport rice grains and other things from the north to the south. Although the northern Caomin has never been there, there are many people in the Caomin subordinate who know the route. 55

Zhao Ji nodded. Land transportation would require a lot of mules and horses, but the consumption on the road would be huge. Of course, if you ship by sea, you can only ship to a specific place, which is a disadvantage.

"So where to dock?" Zhao Ji asked. He was still not sure about the shipping in Song Dynasty, especially the places he had never traveled. Jinzhou used to belong to the Liao Kingdom, but was later occupied by the Jin Kingdom.

Liang Shumou had been prepared for a long time, and when Zhao Ji asked, he immediately replied, "Your Majesty, there is a town in Jinzhou, Donghaikou, where you can dock. However, Jinbing has also mastered a lot of warships, and I still hope that Your Majesty will be able to send Jinbing. The warship is packed up, so the sea will go much better in the future!

Zhao Ji looked at Liang Shumou. It turned out that this guy had a good idea. He wanted to clear himself of the dangers at sea. He was ready to develop at sea.

But when Zhao Ji thought about it, he actually only paid attention to land warfare and forgot about naval warfare. Now he has a red-clothed cannon, where is the enemy's warship his opponent? Not only can he attack ships, but he can also provide sea reinforcements and hit land targets!

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji laughed, "Haha, Liang Shumou, you have a good plan!"

Seeing that His Majesty saw through his own thoughts, Liang Shumou laughed dryly, "Your Majesty, Caomin has always thought that controlling the sea passage is also very important, and the future development direction is likely to turn to the sea!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ji was really surprised. Could it be that this Liang Shumou is also a traveler, otherwise how can he even judge the direction in a few hundred years?

But it's unlikely, otherwise how could he not know about his red-clothed cannons and muskets?

"Oh, how did you judge?" Zhao Ji asked casually.

Liang Shumou replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Caomin often sails at sea, and has also been to Ryukyu and other places. There is a lot of wealth in those places. As long as we master those wealth, the Song Dynasty will naturally become more prosperous and strong. And all this depends on shipping, Caomin. I thought shipping would become more and more prosperous...

It turned out to be just a guess, Zhao Ji nodded, this person's feeling was sharp.

"Alright, I'll allow you to transport food. As for the fleet of seaborne gold soldiers, I will let people wipe them out, so you better prepare food!" Zhao Ji smiled and let many ships idle there. Huge waste ah.

After Liang Shumou left, Zhao Ji walked around. He decided to let all the fleets move, especially the large ships, equip them with red cannons, and let them explore all directions. Their mission is to bring food, jewelry, and gold to Song Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" Ling Bingyu felt very strange looking at Zhao Ji's face with joy and worry.

Zhao Ji stopped, patted his forehead, and smiled, "Look at me, I'm stunned. By the way, Xiaoyu, do you think I'm a little impatient? Is Annan, and the development of sea passages, a little too eager?"

Ling Bingyu looked at Zhao Ji carefully, smiled, pulled him to sit down, poured a cup of tea for Zhao Ji, and said, "I know that Your Majesty has the world in mind, and always wants to make Da Song a superpower that is wealthy and powerful. Strong country, but Your Majesty, things need to be done one by one, don't let yourself get tired. You see, the Jin country has been beaten and retreated, this is an unprecedented prosperity, what are you not satisfied with? ?

"You're right," Zhao Ji said after taking a sip of tea, "but I'm just unwilling. Do you know how vast the ocean is, beyond the mainland, the ocean is boundless, and the ocean is full of treasures, if we are now If you don't seize it, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future..."

Shaking his head, Zhao Ji stopped talking about Ling Bingyu's confused look. Ling Bingyu is just a child of the rivers and lakes. She may know a lot about martial arts, but she knows nothing about the ocean.

Holding Ling Bingyu in his arms, Zhao Ji gently raised her smooth chin, "'Xiaoyu, I have already beaten the Jin Bing, so when will you commit yourself to me?"

This remark made Ling Bingyu blush a little, and she was really happy. No matter what Zhao Ji's reason was, it was a war with Jin Bing, but Ling Bingyu did not immediately agree to Zhao Ji.

"Your Majesty, Jin Wushu is still alive... I, I want to go to the battlefield and kill that evil thief with my own hands!

After all, they are the sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, and they come when they fight and kill!

Zhao Ji laughed and twitched her nose, "This is naturally not good, I have so many good men in Song Dynasty, how can I let you (Zhao of Qian) be a girl on the battlefield. The battlefield is a stage for men, women go away!

"Act cheap!" Yue Fei held a secret order, which was sent by Zhao Ji.

The logistics of the army is facing a lot of pressure, and this Yue Fei naturally understands that His Majesty's ability to supply as much as possible is an unprecedented support. The food and grass from the back are being brought in continuously, but His Majesty has also made it clear that the Song Dynasty cannot support the long-term war, mainly because a lot of the food is used for disaster relief, so Yue Fei and the others need to raise a part of the food by themselves.

Great Song Dynasty is rich, why is there not enough food? It seems that His Majesty did not want to increase the burden on the people, but transferred this burden to these enemy countries in the north. This is the righteousness!

How to raise oneself? Of course, we have to collect food and grass from the local area.

In fact, this is also a normal situation. Let me ask, in any battle, won't the victors have to raise food and forage on the spot?
