“Take it seriously…”

He nodded with certainty, and Yang Fan continued, "I remember that His Highness of the King of Qi is the military governor of Qi, Qing, Lai, Mi, and Dengzhou, and served as the governor of Qizhou; Dengzhou should have a navy? And King Wen is the general."

Wei Ting was stunned: "Of course there is, and every once in a while, the navy will send some fresh seafood to the palace."

What's the relationship with the navy?

Could it be that this guy wants to help someone with an errand?

But Yang Fan continued to ask: "Can the navy have a task?"

Wei Ting thought for a while: "Now the navy in the court is mainly used to transport food, grass and other goods. As long as there is no war, there are very few tasks."

It was similar to the guess in his heart. Yang Fan was overjoyed and said, "Since His Highness, King Qi wants to please His Majesty, it is better to let the navy go to Fusang Kingdom, Goguryeo, Silla and other countries when there is no mission. The supply of goods is supplied by Junyangfang. The property obtained is divided into 82 pieces. How about it?"

I have long been interested in creating a channel to overseas, and there is such an opportunity, so Yang Fan will certainly not let it go.

As for selling glazed glass overseas, it is just a small part of it, and this is also a decision made just now.

In ancient times, something like glass was a top luxury item. It was a thing used by the nobles. It was just a decoration and had no other function at all.

Can you eat, improve your humanistic literacy, promote social progress, and increase productivity?

No, nothing can be said, to put it bluntly, for ordinary people, there is no such thing as it.

In Yang Fan's eyes, the biggest use of glass is to make money.

This is also the reason why Yang Fan sells limited quantities in Datang.

Because Yang Fan never thought of making Liuli popular in the Tang Dynasty, he just wanted to treat it as a top luxury to make money, and of course the targets were those nobles of aristocratic families.

Only by allowing the nobles of aristocratic families to flow the hidden money can we increase the vitality of society and accelerate the progress of the times.

In the Tang Dynasty, many people were not full of food or clothing, and they couldn't bear to use glass to fool the people of the Tang Dynasty. They would not have so much burden to use for export.

Anyway, the thing that is glazed has almost no technical content, and the raw material is sand. These things can be seen everywhere, and the amount of glass produced should be as much as possible.

Dengzhou is the garrison of the navy, and Li You is also the top military leader. Using the navy to traffic glaze to nearby countries is a good way to save time and effort.

However, what Yang Fan most envies is the geographical location of Dengzhou. It is across the sea from Fusang, Goguryeo, Silla and other countries, and is a natural and good waterway.

Since this era has come, Yang Fan certainly cannot allow some jumping clowns to hide on a small island to develop their strength.

Otherwise, when the Central Plains is weak, these clowns will not show their fangs and bully the people of the Central Plains again.

At this time, the navy was only used to transport food and grass, or occasionally clear out small groups of water bandits and pirates, and they were basically useless and could make use of one or two.

However, the ancients did not understand. Wei Ting frowned and asked, "Why don't it be sold in the Tang Dynasty? Besides, although the navy has no tasks on weekdays, if the Dengzhou navy is used for commerce at will, what if the censor impeached the King of Qi for personal gain, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Yang Fan looked so sorry for his iron that he was so angry that he said in a temptation: "What is Liuli? Can it be eaten? Besides, the people of the Tang Dynasty cannot afford to eat a lot of food, so where can they afford it?"

"The profits of trafficking across the ocean to other countries have increased by at least ten times. I heard that the Fusang Kingdom has a high silver production, and the royal nobles of Goguryeo are also very rich..."

"The most important thing is, if we sell glass to these countries, what will we exchange for? Gold, silver, grain..."

"These things are hard currency, and they are all good materials. In the long run, one has increased and the other has declined. Isn't it a benefit to the country and the people? What we pay is only glazed for viewing."

When a large amount of taxes are paid to the national treasury, His Highness, King Qi, will naturally be deeply favored by His Majesty and his purpose will naturally be achieved. Why not do it?

Wei Ting was fooled by these remarks and his eyes were shiny, but he was still very cautious: "Although this matter is good, I still feel that it is inappropriate to let King Qi use the navy without any voluntary action..."

Seeing that Wei Ting was able to remain awake with such intentions, Yang Fan couldn't help but admire him secretly, but was not disappointed, but was a little excited.

Because in Yang Fan's mind, the best way would of course not be the navy, and he never thought of opening up overseas channels based on the navy.

War is a bad thing. In ancient times, this was a taboo and no one dared to use it at will.

If you use it at will, even Yang Fan may be implicated, because it is easy to criticize the random mobilization of soldiers, and even the King of Qi, as the governor, dare not make a decision easily.

Yang Fan spread his hands and pretended to be disappointed: "Then there is nothing I can do..."

Obviously, Wei Ting did not just plan to give up.

After all, if this method really works, it's a great achievement.

If you exchange glass for countless money and grain from overseas to fill the national treasury, Your Majesty will of course be happy. The credit will naturally be from your son-in-law, King Li You of Qi. Maybe you can make some achievements and go to a higher level.

Thinking of this, even though he had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, Wei Ting was still a little excited, his mind suddenly started to move, and his eyes lit up soon.

After stroking the short beard under the jaw, Wei Ting smiled slightly: "Brother Zhongyi, although His Highness King Qi cannot use the navy, I have a better way..."

Looking at these ancient people who like to keep their cover, Yang Fan was speechless, but he still cooperated and said: "Master Wei might as well tell me."

Wei Ting said with a complacent look: "In Dengzhou, let the navy train a group of maritime talents when they have time..."

When Wei Ting finished speaking proudly, Yang Fan smiled. After all, it was very similar to his plan.

Originally, Yang Fan also wanted to use Dengzhou's geographical advantages to train a group of caravans to open up overseas channels.

The reason why I didn't mention it directly just now is that I am afraid of being too abrupt, too purposeful, and afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Now that Wei Ting himself has brought it up, it has saved Yang Fan a lot of trouble.

However, of course Yang Fan could not completely follow Wei Ting's proposal, and finally decided after a bargaining.

Yang Fan gave birth to people, efforts and things, and King Li You of Qi went out to the land, port, and training, opening up a road to overseas business.

Of course, this strategy was nominally designed by King Qi Li You, and of course Yang Fan would not care about these virtual things.

At present, Yang Fan only wants to cast a seed and let the seed take root and sprout so that it can work at some point.

*******

After achieving their respective goals, they were in a happy mood, and the two of them started to chat and laugh.

Yang Fan said embarrassedly: "Mr. Wei, I had a small misunderstanding with His Highness King Qi at the beginning, and I still feel very regretful."

"But as the saying goes, you won't know each other without fighting, and the unhappiness has long passed. Now we are working sincerely. Please tell Your Highness the King of Qi to ask him not to care about it if you have a lot of it."

"In addition, Lord Wei, look at the budget..."

Since we have cooperated, Yang Fan must of course express his opinion and solve the problem together.

Wei Ting laughed and disagreed: "Mr. Yang is really fond of things. If anyone in front of someone, he will say that Zhongyi is a brat and a fool, I will definitely throw his mouth away. Don't worry, King Qi knows the seriousness of the matter."

"Rules are dead. Can the Civil Affairs Ministry still ignore such major matters as the preparatory work of the Grand Council for the accounts? I immediately sent a message to the Duzhi Department. The funding from the Ministry of Rites' Host and Guest Department will arrive today. Lord Yang only needs to send a subordinate to go, and there is no need to do everything personally."

This is the officialdom. I just said that I should follow the rules, but now...

Finally opened my eyes!

The word "official" is open, and you can say whatever you want.
