Chapter 896 Dispute
"Not only the rations of the common people have increased, but the tax grain has also increased. In the future, the grain sent to the army will be more abundant than before. With more grain, the population will also increase, the number of soldiers will also increase, and the country will become stronger and stronger. For such a contribution to Xuan Qingguo, if it wasn't for Murong Zhe's injury on his hand, I would still feel that the rank nine officials had wronged him."
"But, Your Majesty..."
The Marquis of Ning'an glanced at Wu Benyan, the Minister of War, and Wu Benyan understood it, and immediately stepped forward to interrupt Shi Xingping, saying, "Master Shi, Your Majesty is absolutely right, you are a civil official, and you have no soldiers, so you don't know the people below. Every day you stretch out your hand to manage how you feel for food, and those who urge military food fill up the desk every day.”
"One of the things we are most worried about in the Ministry of War is that there is no food in our hands, so the soldiers will train and fight on an empty stomach. Food is life to the soldiers, and if you are hungry, you will only be able to defeat the battle."
"You are a civil official and you have read the history books. You should know how many times the Xuanqing Kingdom has been defeated due to lack of food since its founding. Do you know that every defeat is not only for soldiers and soldiers, but how many innocent people will die? Yes? How much land has been lost? How much time, money and lives will it take for future generations to regain it?"
"Now that someone has helped us solve the food problem, the military rations will be more abundant in the future. In the future, the Ministry of Housing will have more food to mobilize for disaster relief, which can reduce the number of people dying of starvation."
"In other words, growing high-yield food means saving the lives of countless people and strengthening the entire country. This is a great joy. What? You can't see the Xuanqing country so well? Will it chill the hearts of the common people?"
Shi Xingping frowned and said, "I didn't mean that, and I didn't let His Majesty reward him, just..."
Wei Jingxuan said quietly: "Isn't it true that others can get an official position so easily? And you all came here after studying hard for more than ten years through the imperial examination window, right?"
Shi Xingping choked and was speechless.
He just wanted to maintain the impartiality of the selection of officials, otherwise what would be the situation for those students who were studying hard in the poor window.
The Minister of Rites glared at his son, and what he said was too direct.
Wei Jingxuan ignored his father when he saw this, just turned his head away and didn't look at him.
You are embarrassed to say it, only him.
Wu Benyan and Shi Xingping have known each other for many years, and he also knows a little about his inner thoughts. He sarcastically said: "I think you are really stupid for reading. It’s also for the future.”
"Think about it, the people of Zhi Ye Zhai have done so many good things that are beneficial to the court after coming back for a year. I believe that after they get the reward, they will definitely make persistent efforts to do more things that are beneficial to Xuanqing."
"You nerd, why don't you know how to work around your brain? Maybe when the Murong family gets excited about getting an official position, their family will grow two thousand catties or three thousand catties of grain per mu. If that's the case, it's a great fortune for the country. ."
Shi Xingping was stunned for a while, with the end of the Minister of the Household first, after thinking for a moment, knowing that the Murong family is now the emperor's treasure, he had to compromise: "Your Majesty is right, it is Wei Chen who is wrong, and Wei Chen listens to Your Majesty. ."
Helian Rongjiu saw that he was sensible and smiled and said, "Since everyone has no opinion, then it's settled."
