The territory of this period should not have marine islands, but Empress Dowager Lu went to sea to avoid difficulties. The maps she instructed not only marked the rough geographical location of the sea and land, but also marked several large islands sporadically.

These islands are already inhabited by Middle-earth people and have contacts with the shore. According to the rules of this era, there is no doubt that the islands inhabited by Daliang people are Daliang's territory.

Queen Mother Lu walked over: "Pick an island as a transfer port. The ocean outside the port is carried by the Westerners, and the water transportation within the port is handled by Daliang. This not only blocks the Westerners from entering the hinterland of Daliang, but also saves our costs.

"With this statement, Westerners have no way to refuse, because in theory we still agreed to their conditions and carried it by them. They cannot take advantage of it. The key is that we still have a favorable position in the negotiation price of goods!

"Su Jie'er's proposal should be the compromise you want!"

The emperor looked at the sea on the map and pondered: "In this way, it is necessary to set up troops along the island to garrison. In the future, there is such a large sea surface, which is enough for Daliang to train a group of sailors. If a fleet is built in the future, these sailors will play a great role."

Speaking of this, he rolled the map in his hand and looked at Zhao Su again: "Since you have a solution, why are you talking now?"

"I just thought of it randomly!"

"It's also great to come up with such a good way at random."

After the emperor finished speaking, he took the map and strode out.

He didn't mention their time travel?

Zhao Su looked back at Empress Dowager Lu, who was also looking at the emperor's back and noticed that Zhao Su was looking at her. She looked over, and then poked her finger at Zhao Su's forehead: "Nothing! Didn't you say how smart the emperor is? Why did he see it when he finished speaking?"

Zhao Su was hit by this and said, "Actually, I think you, Empress Dowager, have probably made the emperor suspicious. You have passed on everything from your foreign language and governing the country. And this map, even if the emperor grows up in the palace, he will not be completely unaware of it, right?"

"Even so, isn't you the person he caught?"

That's right.

But now that the mistake has been made and cannot be saved, Zhao Su did not want to explore this issue again. "Empress Dowager, please punish me if you want it."

Empress Dowager Lu said with a stern face: "For your cleverness, you are exempted from the death penalty."

"What about living sins?"

"Save it until the next time you commit a crime."

Isn’t this just a matter of not pursuing it?

Zhao Su said, "Let me go back and make delicious food for the Queen Mother!"

Empress Dowager Lu gave her a blank look and sat down.

...

Zhao Su returned to Qianqing Palace and did not see the emperor. Wufu said that he had gone to the imperial study room.

The next day, she never saw the emperor again, cooked for him at noon, and did not see anyone else. She guessed that her suggestion finally came in handy and asked officials from various departments to review it. At least she would not hold her back anymore. When she arrived at the lower yamen point, she felt so at ease that she was not in the ground.

Zhao Su, who returned to the Qingyun Marquis Mansion and enjoyed the peace of the inner house, didn't know how much trouble her suggestion caused in the upward cusp!

Earlier, after the emperor summoned six officials to discuss the solution, a group of capable and wise ministers had the idea of ​​leaning against financing. In other words, if the emperor really wanted to build a fleet, they could find a way to do it, but it was a bit far from promoting national prestige and the risk during transportation.

They did not expect that in just half a day, the emperor summoned them into the palace and had an idea to break through all their horizons: the emperor actually wanted to circle out an island as a market for sea transportation trade!

From ancient times to the present, no dynasty has ever made such a big move, not to mention that the emperor also said that after the completion of the building, he would have to train sailors in the inland sea!

The Six Ministry and the Governor's Office of the Five Army were all busy, some were busy making strategies repeatedly, some were busy collecting information on coastal merchant ships, and some were busy counting money - the policy was already there, and the next thing was capital!

Of course, there are some people who are busy opposing the emperor, but in the end they have stopped under the emperor's firm position.

The people in the court were rushing to the horse. Zhao Su only noticed that the Marquis of Qingyun and Zhao Yu were both very busy these days, and the emperor in the palace was so busy that she didn't have to cook for several days. In addition, she was still choreographing how she was able to cause trouble. She was bored and could only stay in the Imperial Guards and listen to gossip.

Of course, she also heard some rumors about what the court was busy with.

That day, he was squatting under the outer wall of the Ganqing Palace and chatting with the guards. Tong Xu said, "The six ministries have already made the negotiation documents and selected the island, right near Ryukyu.

"The Ministry of Rites has also been negotiated with the Western envoy. I heard that the transfer of cargo ships on the archipelago was decided without much effort. The price of silk has been on the past two days, and the documents of the two countries will be signed soon.

"The foreign merchants in some inns in Beijing were also very interested after hearing this news. Some even revealed that their country could follow the example of England doing business with Daliang."

Tong Xu said solemnly: "I really don't know who proposed the strategy. I thought it was just a business, but it actually caused such a big move from the whole country!

"If our navy forces keep up, then the coastal villages will be free from pirates from now on! This is simply a blessing to the people!"

Tong Xu's maternal family was in Hangzhou. He had heard the older generation talk about pirates disturbing the people. After the late emperor decided to remediate the sea disasters and reopened the sea transportation. Of course, it has been much better in recent years, but it has not yet become extinct.

After hearing his praise, Zhao Su rubbed the cat's ears and felt even more embarrassed to mention herself.

Speaking of which, the emperor's structure was bigger. When she was talking about business, he had already thought of the navy entering and dividing the inland sea, but there was still a long way to go from conception to full achievement. At present, we can only say that there is a direction.

As for the credit - most of the details were done by the emperor and court officials. She, a little Tsinghua, dared not take credit to herself.

So, no one, including Pei Zhan and others, knew that Zhao Su came up with this method.

"I guess it's either Zhang Shangshu, or Marquis, or... several grand senators!" Liu Xiang said confidently, "They are all wise men in the court!"

She is even comparable to the six ministers of the court and the Grand Secretary of the Court?

Zhao Su pressed the cat's head and raised his ears to listen carefully.

"Maid Zhao." At this moment, Sixi's voice suddenly sounded behind her: "The emperor is here!"

As soon as she got up and turned around, she saw not far away, the emperor was dressed in formal clothes, not in a neat suit, and his dragon robe was sitting on the chariot, looking at this side. Behind him was a large group of ceremonial guards, and then the Marquis of Qingyun, the Minister of Rites Zhang Yu, the Minister of Works He Zong, and several major officials were surrounded by him.

Several people immediately lost their cat and stood up straight!

The emperor said: "Come here."

Zhao Su hesitated and looked up, but saw that he was looking at him, so he hurried forward.

The emperor's eyes fell on her: "Go and wash your face and follow me to the Taihe Palace to meet the envoys. Today is the day to sign documents with them."

The tone was still as indifferent as usual, but everyone present felt a little warmth from it!

Although Zhao Su is an imperial guard, she is not as important as the level of being present in such an occasion, right? Besides, she experienced such twists and turns last time...

She is just the waste material that has been talking about on the streets and alleys these days, who has never been able to support the wall!

The Queen Qingyun also came forward in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for her to go on this occasion!"

"She is the great hero in this matter, how can she not go?" The unparalleled lord of the country on the chariot looked at Zhao Su, "She is the one who offered advice to me."
