It takes more than two months to get from Wuyang Mansion to flow smoothly. The warships of Dachu are in warships, and the speed of civilian ships is slower. When they return, they are loaded and are facing the wind and flowing. Three months may not be enough. It takes at least half a year to go back and forth.

If it was just gold, silver and wealth, Chu Ren could give up, but what Da Chu needs most now is rice and grain. The one in Da Chu City is the least short of rice and grain. If you want to transport the rice and grain hoarded in Da Chu City to Da Chu, this fleet, plus the few hundred ships in Da Chu City, will never be transported.

If you travel twice a year, you can transport up to 30% of the rice and grain in Dachu City. In the coming year, even if no one cultivates it, with the natural environment of the Romon Islands, half or even 60% of the rice grown as before.

Therefore, the fortune will never be completed, and the fortune speed is slower than the growth rate of rice.

The Romon Islands is a good place, and of course there are many disadvantages. This is a series of islands. In Chu Ren's view, it is like a broken continent, and ships are needed to travel. The arable area on each island varies greatly, and there are very few large areas of arable land. Some of them are also in the hands of local natives.

The lack of food in the Great Chu, and Chu Ren's ability cannot be changed in a short period of time. If it can be supplemented by the Romon Islands, it can greatly alleviate the problem of food shortage.

To sum up, there are only two words: shortage of ship.

"Mr. Wei, what is the Ministry of Works' explanation about the shipbuilding plan?" Chu Ren asked.

Wei Yan stood up and replied, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works has received the order, but the current state has no money, so it is probably not easy to build a ship. In addition, the river has been dancing last year, and it has not been resolved yet. The river that is urgently repaired is more than 3,000 miles, and the government needs the support of the government. More than 100,000 houses have been built again. The autumn tax has been exhausted. The salary for these two months is still exempted from the lottery from the previous few days. These days, the lottery has been suspended..."

Wei Yan did not continue to say it, and his meaning was clear. Da Chu is now so poor that he can't even pay the ministers' salary. There are too many places to use money. If you want to build a ship, you are powerless.

"Master Se, I wonder how those overseas treasures are dealt with?" Chu Ren turned to look at Se Qinghe. Chu Ren's day of ascending the throne was short, and he still used the four original ministers of the regent. He couldn't do it without it. Even if he wanted to change people, he didn't know who should be replaced. Besides, even if he wanted to change, he wouldn't be able to change without Wei Wenchang and Wu Wang Zhuoyue.

The situation in Da Chu was even more troublesome than he had expected at the beginning. Chu Ren was prepared for food, money, and food was limited by transportation capacity, so he could only do his best. In fact, he did not lack money. The amount of gold, silver, copper and iron produced in the Romon Islands was very small, but there were countless overseas treasures.

Top-notch pearls with a big thumb, three-foot-high blood-colored coral, two-foot-meter-round tortoiseshell...

Anything that comes out is priceless and overseas products. Anything that is placed in Da Chu is a rare treasure.

Don't think that you won't be short of money like this. In fact, you are still short of money, and it's very lacking. Chu Ren had long guessed that if you release these things, you can get back with limited money, but he didn't expect that the officials of Da Chu were even more shameless than he thought.

If all the people in the Great Chu were killed, there would definitely be unfair reasons. One person killed another, most of them were missing the net.

Se Qinghe stood up and said with a look of distress: "Your Majesty, the age of Da Chu in recent years is not good. The overseas treasures are extremely precious, but not many people can afford them. Now the treasures sold are less than one hundred, and most of them are still placed in the inner palace."

Things are good things, but they just can't be sold at a price, and no one even buys them. The little goods that were finally sold were also outrageously low.

Chu Ren knew in his heart that this was a collusion between officials and businessmen in the Great Chu, and it was intentional. It was not a warning. In fact, those people were afraid that they were drooling at the rare treasures he brought back, so they were waiting to trick them out of him.

It creates the illusion that the year is not good and no one buys it, followed by an ultra-low purchase, and then flows into the normal market at an extremely high price, making hundreds or thousands of times the profit.

Even though he knew, he had no power in his hands, and it was not easy to solve the problem. Chu Ren had naturally prepared a backup plan, so how could he let them mercy?

"Since that's the case, all overseas treasures will be temporarily sealed." Chu Ren said calmly.

"Yes." Se Qinghe also had a calm face, and there was no inappropriateness. He could be the assistant minister, regardless of whether he had any ghosts in his heart, it would be impossible to see the problem from his expression.

"General Du, military expansion plan, what do you think of the Military Machine Pavilion?" Chu Ren turned to look at Du Jian. This old minister of Great Chu, with a deep experience. Even Wei Wenchang was just a junior in front of him.

"Your Majesty is wise and should expand the army, but if your Majesty wants to expand the army by one million, the personnel is not a problem. It is easy to transfer an officer, but the military expenditure is difficult. The Ministry of Revenue is afraid that it will not be able to pay for the money. The Ministry of Works will be in trouble again. There is insufficient energy and iron, insufficient manpower, and difficult equipment to build. Hehe..." Du Jian sneered twice. How could he hide the tricks here?

The old general Du can see that, regardless of which line of ancestors of His Majesty is, they are really working hard for the Great Chu. Let’s look at the three princes left by the former emperor. What is that called fun?

Fortunately, His Majesty succeeded to the throne. If any of the three ascended the throne, Du Jian would immediately surrender and return home without saying a word. Even if there was no matter to the Austrian, the Great Chu would fall into their hands and would be over sooner or later.

The problem is that in addition to the military represented by General Du, the other three people, the group behind it is more about their own interests. The crisis of the Ao people is not imminent. I hope they can be devoted to the outside world, so I should take a shower and go to bed.

Chu Ren smiled: "So, is it still a matter of money?"

"Yes, it seems that there is only money and grain at present." General Du said affirmatively. Money is not just precious metals such as gold, silver and copper. If needed, those noble families can make these metals worthless in a short period of time. No one can change the only food. No matter how powerful your power is, people always have to make a living.

"Thank you four, it's too late, so let's get here today." Chu Ren said softly.

The four auxiliary ministers stood up and bowed and left, each with their own thoughts, and walked out of the Taoist Pavilion.

"Crossing." Chu Ren said, and the eunuch responded and went out to pick up people. After a while, he brought one person in.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." The person who came in was tall and had already washed up, but he still felt the dusty breath of him.

"General, please get up." Chu Ren stretched out his hand to help him, and the person who came stood up and stood with his hands down.

"General Yang, is it going well this time to enter Beijing?" Chu Ren asked. The person who came was Yang Feng, the right general of the Southwest Desert Legion, who secretly entered Beijing under the order.

"Everything goes well. I led 10,000 Dingxi Army to transport 500,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, and 30 million taels of copper, without any damage. It has been transported to Xiaguan Wharf, unloaded last night, and shipped to Wu'an Prefecture overnight, and was taken over by the Yulin Army." Yang Feng bowed and replied.

"Thank you for your hard work, this time it made General Zhu embarrassing. In recent years, the court has not given much military expenditure from the Western Army, but instead let the Dingxi Army feed back the court..." Speaking of this, Chu Ren smiled bitterly, "He is so difficult as an emperor.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to do this. Thanks to Lei Shi. If it weren't for leaving the mineral map when he left, the Dingxi Army would not be able to produce the gold and silver. Fortunately, there were a big victory last year, with 100,000 soldiers and the mining methods of Lei Shi, these are only the first batch. In three months, the second batch will be transported to it." Yang Feng raised his head and said proudly.

In the Southwest Military Town, no matter how many coins there are, it is useless. Moreover, they are mining and minting coins, but they don’t have the ability to do so. With the metallurgical ability of the Great Chu, the Dingxi Army’s arrows were in short supply. There was no need for such fine coins.

Not to mention the southwest, the Dachu Luocheng Mint, the annual output of coins is also very limited. It is okay to say that gold and silver coins are good. After all, the face value is large, and copper coins are the most troublesome. It is difficult to make a mother coin. The number of copper coins that can be remade by a mother coin is limited. When minting copper coins, it can only make barely profitable, and the profit is poor.

For every thousand coins, only one cent of profit remains.

Paper money does not exist in Dachu. Even the quality of the official paper written in writing is just that and it is very easy to be damaged. Using official paper to make coins is not a joke, and it is hard to imagine it.

No matter how low the profit of copper coins is, they must be minted. In Renault's eyes, the level of the mint is not as good as the handicrafts of middle school students. Looking at the world of Da Chu, it is already a top-notch technology. The copper coins minted by privately are terrible. You can see the difference between them and official coins without buying them.

No matter what, the people need money, and they can’t trade without money. They can’t carry a bag of rice and grain when they buy things.

I won’t talk about gold coins. Silver coins are also large-scale currencies among the people. Ordinary people rarely use them. Copper coins are the mainstream and cannot be separated from them.

"General Yang, this is a secret decree. Thank you for your hard work to return to the southwest as soon as possible. Let's leave five thousand people you bring. Are there any trustworthy generals in the army?" Chu Ren asked.

Through Wei Wenchang and Chu Ren received the line from Dingxi Army, Zhu Chongba was originally the backbone of the royalists. He was hinted by Wei Wenchang. Although he had not completely turned to the new emperor, the meaning he revealed was already very obvious.

"Your Majesty, this time I brought two generals of the Central Army, both of whom were from the Dingxi Army. You can pass it on to see him at any time," said Yang Feng.

"Then let it go. General Yang thought that there is a suitable candidate in the Yulin Army?" Chu Ren asked in a daze, but Yang Feng understood.

"Your Majesty, General Luo Yi is very suitable, but..." Yang Feng said hesitantly. Before coming to Beijing, he was called by General Zhu for a secret discussion, so he naturally knew the joints.

Luo Yi is very strong, calm, well-known in the army, has good martial arts skills, and has a famous family...

The problem lies in the fact that his father was Luo Hai, the left general of the Yulin Army. If he handed over this team of 5,000 people to Luo Yi, it would be inappropriate.

Sure enough, Chu Ren shook his head slightly. This is not a question of whether he trusts or not. As an emperor, you should not act voluntarily, checks and balances are the key.

"I think it's better to invite Master Junting." Yang Feng said.
