    Qianqing Palace, in the study of Emperor Hongzhi.

    Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Dian Zhong, the minister of household affairs, were still quarreling and glaring. They kept arguing in the court, but there was no result, and there would be no result.

    In this kind of thing, the truth is that a child who cries gets milk.

    In the past, the court was poor and had little money, so it was impossible to talk about any major projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

    In the past, if we embarked on any big projects or major projects, they would be strongly opposed by the ministers.

    Firstly, there is no money, and secondly, it is more likely to waste people and money.

    For example, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to build a new Shangqing Palace in the Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain. This matter was strongly opposed by the ministers, and finally had to be terminated because the imperial treasury was empty.

    If you don¡¯t have money to build a big project, you will need to requisition tens of thousands of people in the form of corvee labor. At the same time, the various materials needed will also require collection and transportation from various places.

    It is true that the project volume is huge and it will waste people and money. It is not a lie.

    ??And it often does not bring any benefit to the people. What benefits do you think the construction of the Shangqing Palace can bring to the people?

    The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which was beneficial to the country and the people, brought down the Sui Dynasty. Countless people only saw the huge manpower, material and financial resources spent on building the Grand Canal, but they did not see that even though the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was  It is still benefiting both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and benefiting both north and south China.

    This time, the situation with the imperial court¡¯s construction of cement roads was different.

    ??Everyone has seen the benefits of building cement roads, and has also already established the principle of building cement roads. All costs, materials, manpower, etc. are supported by money from the court.

    This is great, because it means that the people along the road do not need to be subject to corvee labor. They can get money to do things and earn money. It is also good for themselves to build the road.

    ??It¡¯s natural for everyone to fight, and everyone fights fiercely.

    "You two dear friends don't have to fight back and forth. It's just a matter of one year earlier or one year later."

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at the two of them and even wanted to laugh.

    I have never seen these old ministers blowing their beards, staring, and blushing in the face before.

    "Yes~"

    The two of them quickly replied respectfully.

    "This is the report submitted by Liu Jin, the Minister of Household Affairs, on the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Royal Naval Academy and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Royal Navy. Everyone, please take a look."

    Emperor Hongzhi handed Xiao Jing a memorial in his hand and said.

    "The Royal Naval Academy of Ming Dynasty?"

    "The Ming Royal Navy?"

    When everyone heard this, they immediately became energetic.

    The fight over the cement highway just now was a trivial matter. After all this fighting, it is still in the pot. As Emperor Hongzhi said, it will be repaired either this year or next year.

    "But the establishment of the Royal Naval Academy and the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty is a major national matter, which requires careful discussion and discussion.

    Starting from Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Liu Daxia, Zhang Mao and others took turns to read the memorial written by Liu Jin very quickly.

    In the memorial, Liu Jin believes that the Ming Dynasty's territory is no longer limited to the land of China, and its territory has begun to expand around the world.

    And with the development speed of Ming Dynasty, it will also involve a wider area in the future.

    At the same time, Liu Jin also pointed out that the future world will be an era of great navigation dominated by oceans, and Ming Dynasty should be proactive, occupy more vast lands overseas, and open up more living space.

    But Ming¡¯s overseas expansion and interests are under great threat.

    There are a large number of pirates and thieves along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, in various parts of Nanyang, and even in the oceans around the world. They rob passing merchant ships and kill our people of the Ming Dynasty.

    What¡¯s more important is that overseas, there are still many arrogant countries and civilizations that wantonly provoke our great power and harm the interests of our great Ming Dynasty.

    In distant Europe, the maritime power of these countries has developed rapidly, and they will become Ming's strong opponents on the ocean in the future.

    Therefore, in order to protect Ming¡¯s overseas interests, in order to continue its overseas expansion, and in order to conquer more lands, Ming must have a maritime force that is always strong enough to conquer the world.

    This is the necessity of establishing a navy.

    At the same time, Liu Jin also pointed out that the navy is different from the land army.The interests of everyone.

    The pirates in Nanyang are very annoying, and there are still some sluggish pirates along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the plantations and gold and silver mines in Nanyang will be attacked by the natives.

    There are still a large number of ferocious natives on Ryukyu Island. These are threatening plantations and merchant ships, and they all need to be cleaned up.

    In addition, almost all large and small business houses in Ming Dynasty, which have tasted the benefits, have formulated expansion plans in Nanyang this year.

    Build more plantations, build bigger plantations.

    Therefore, it is necessary to occupy more territory and incorporate more Nanyang islands into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how can it be divided among everyone?

    "Your Majesty, I also deeply agree that our Ming Dynasty must build a powerful navy to protect our people and interests~"

    British Duke Zhang Mao also stood up and expressed his stance.

    There is nothing to say about this matter, I must express my position.

    The people who make the most money in Nanyang and overseas are people like them, the Emperor Hongzhi, the prince, Liu Jin, Duke Yingying, Duke Dingguo, and Duke Chengguo.

    They were the first to go to sea, and they were also the first to taste the benefits. Most of the merchant ships traveling to and from Nanyang were from Tianjin Ocean Trading Company. They also had the most and largest plantations in Nanyang. They made no money in a year.  How much, of course, is very clear.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
