Chapter 53: The Court (II)
The ministers kneeling on the court all wanted to see how Chen Yi should answer His Majesty's question, Wang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, at this time his heart was like a knife cut, but he didn't expect that the Qilin talent who spread all over the capital was such a young descendant, and it would never work if it went on like this, if such a pillar of talent was not controlled, let the development of the pillar of talent I am afraid that the pillar of talent will be crooked by then, and he must find an opportunity to let this Qilin talent go to school in the country.
"Your Majesty, then Weichen will give a simple example." Chen Yi remembered in his heart that before the early dynasty, Luo Pengfei, the Duke of Fuguo, had said that Lord Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Industry was bluntly admonished, this is not the otherworldly version of Wei Zheng and Tang Taizong is Li Shimin, and it is not easy to give an example.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that her husband can dress properly with copper; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Taking people as a lesson can make you aware of the gains and losses. Your Majesty was able to give your Majesty advice frankly, and often expressed his views in the court, and His Majesty was able to listen to correct opinions, so during His Majesty's reign, the politics were clear and the society was stable, and the Great Yuan would have a prosperous economy and a strong national strength. Of course, this is also what the people of the whole world are looking forward to, and it is also the goal that we, the Great Yuan officials, and Your Majesty, are striving for. Chen Yi was secretly proud in his heart, relying on his talent in his previous life, fooling them was not a matter of being caught.
"Good! A good husband takes copper as a lesson and can be dressed properly; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Taking people as a lesson can make you aware of the gains and losses. Wang Aiqing didn't expect you to have another bosom friend. Emperor Yuanjie said happily, he didn't expect the eldest sister's child to be so talented.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen never thought that this Chen Yi Gongzi is so outstanding, Wei Chen believes that when Chen Yi Gongzi grows up, he will definitely be the pillar of our Dayuan." Wang Ze, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said with a red face, he knew very well that he could dress properly by virtue of being a husband and taking copper as a reference; Taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Taking people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses, these few words. It is enough to make His Majesty and himself a celebrity for eternity, isn't this the dream that he has pursued all his life.
"Your Majesty, there is still one matter that has not yet been resolved." Yelu Churen reminded His Majesty that His Majesty said that before the matter was resolved, they would definitely kneel in the main hall, and the military attachés were all martial arts practitioners, with rough skin and thick flesh, and there was nothing to do when they knelt on the ground, but they were suffering from these civil officials, and their backs hurt after a while.
"Not to mention that I have forgotten, Chen Yi, I have one thing I want to test you, the provocation between the children of the nobles in the capital, do you have a good plan to offer? If I am not satisfied, I will punish you to kneel on the top of the hall like all Aiqing, and think about it. ”
A group of old foxes, this matter is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say that it is not simple, if you want to solve this matter, you must offend a group of nobles and princes and ministers, these ministers are all thieves and thieves, and they don't want to offend others, it is really a good calculation, and you still have to think about it carefully.
"Your Majesty, before answering the question, I would like to ask the ministers a question." Chen Yi stood on the main hall and said without humility.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Wechen wants to ask, what is the key to a country's survival and development?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the survival and development of a country, in addition to having a wise monarch like His Majesty to rule, the key lies in national defense, national defense is born after the formation of the country, is the country to resist foreign aggression and subversion, defend national sovereignty, territorial integrity, safeguard national security, unity and development, and carry out military and military-related economic, scientific, technological, cultural, educational, diplomatic and other aspects of construction, national defense is the security guarantee for the survival and development of the country. Countries with different historical periods, different systems, and different policies have different characteristics of national defense. ”
"What Lord Feng said is very true, the survival and development of a country, in addition to having a wise monarch like His Majesty, the focus is on national defense." The rest of the ministers said one after another.
"Your Majesty, the last general is just a rough man, he doesn't know what national defense, he can only lead troops to fight, but the last general knows that in addition to weapons and grain and grass in war, the most important thing is the soldiers, if there are no soldiers, there are good weapons, more food and grass, then what's the use." A military attache with a tiger's back said.
"This lord said well, this is also what Weichen wants to say, the most basic element of war is soldiers, and national defense is the same, if there are no outstanding talents, then everything is on paper." Chen Yi gave the military attache who spoke, and handed you a look that I am optimistic about.
"Your Majesty, please listen to the ministers, whoever produces the future young man will also be responsible for the young man. If the youth of the whole country is a teenager, then my great yuan will be the country of the future, and its progress will be immeasurable. So that the youth of the whole country is also the boss, then my great yuan is the country of the past, and its gradual death can be waited for. Therefore, the responsibility today is not for others, but for my youth. The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, the strength of the youth is the strength of the country, the independence of the youth is the independence of the country, the freedom of the youth is the freedom of the country, the progress of the youth is the progress of the country, the youth is better than other countries, the country is better than other countries, the youth is stronger than the Great Yuan, and the country is stronger than the Great Yuan. The red sun is rising, and its way is bright; The river flows out of the subterranean flow, and the ocean is poured out; The hidden dragon soars into the abyss, and the scales and claws are flying; The milk tiger roars in the valley, and the beasts are terrified; The falcon tries its wings, and the wind and dust are blowing; Strange flower firstborn, the emperor; The cadres will be hairy, and there will be their mangs; The sky wears its blue, and the earth wears its yellow; Throughout the ages, there are eight wildernesses; The future is like the sea, and the future is long. Beautiful, my young Dayuan, and the sky is not old! Strong, my Dayuan boy, with no borders with the country! ”
Yuan Jie never thought that his nephew would have such a great talent, and such a talent must be firmly grasped in his hands.
"Chen Yi, did you write this article? Can it be named? The emperor said with a flushed face.
"Your Majesty, this article was made by Wei Chen, and Wei Chen named it Young Da Yuan." Chen Yi said shamelessly. I thought that I would make such an article again, but I just misappropriated it, Mr. Liang Qichao's young China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and revised it slightly.
Under Chen Yi's subdued and frustrated recitation, every sentence was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the officials, causing resonance among the officials, and the officials present were all excited.
"Your Majesty, so Weichen believes that every young man of Dayuan should fight for the country all his life, and the minister thinks that a national defense school should be established in the capital, this school does not distinguish between identities, as long as it is the child of Dayuan, they can enter the school for training, and those noble children who have nothing to do all day long should be given a chance to change their evil and return to righteousness, so that they can become the pillars of the motherland."
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty." The officials congratulated one after another, never expecting that these officials were so shameless, patting sycophants and fighting with themselves, and they had a long way to go.
"Since you raised this matter, then it is up to you to handle it, and you will have to cooperate a lot when the time comes, so you all get up." Emperor Yuanjie remembered that Chen Yi also had two factories under his name, a paper mill and a printing chief, which could save a lot of silver taels for the treasury.
"Chen Yi, how many taels of silver do you think will be needed to establish such a national defense school?" Emperor Yuanjie said meaningfully.
"Your Majesty, three million taels in the early stage will do." Chen Yi thought for a moment and said.
"Three million taels will not be too little, what do you think of five million taels?"
"Your Majesty, if there are five million taels, Wechen can create a one-of-a-kind school, and Wechen guarantees that every penny will be invested"
"Okay, then five million taels."
"What's the matter, how can Your Majesty be so generous today?"
After Chen Yi heard it, he looked at Emperor Yuanjie's meaningful smile, and secretly screamed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, due to the perennial war, the treasury is tight, and I am afraid that there is no extra silver taels to build a school." Seeing the emperor's gesture in his eyes, Hubu Shangshu hurriedly said.
"In this case, since the solution is proposed by you, the cost of setting up a school will be borne by you, if it is not enough, you can find a way, I know that you have two factories under your hands, and you have a lot of income every month." Didn't you dig a hole for yourself.
"Your Majesty, Weichen..."
"What? You don't want to? The emperor looked at Chen Yi, who was pouting and frowning slightly, and said gloomily.
"Doing things for Your Majesty is a blessing for Weichen." Chen Yi had no choice but to say listlessly, what a dime is a dime a dozen, eat me, and let you return it sooner or later.
"Since the money can't be given, I will send a team of Imperial Forest Army, and if anyone dares to make trouble, let the Royal Forest Army severely punish them."
"Retreat."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." After the emperor left, the ministers walked out in twos and threes.
