Chapter 302: Li Gefei is Promoted to Minister of War!Three more!

After Wu Zhi looked at Li Gefei, to everyone's surprise, the courtiers present thought that Wu Zhi would recommend which official from Zeng Bu's side.

Who knew that Wu Zhi looked at Li Gefei and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Li Gefei has been a member of the Ministry of Officials for six years!

Weichen sees that this person is serious in his work, not arrogant or impetuous, he handles things in an orderly manner, and has the potential to be a great leader, so he thinks he is a good candidate! "

"Why don't you let Master Li be promoted to the post of Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Wu Zhi's voice was unhurried, but as soon as these words came out, the audience erupted.

Cai Jing's gang couldn't stand anymore.

Liang Shicheng said at this moment: "King Yan, this Li Gefei is just a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wai Lang, how can he be the Minister of the Ministry of War in terms of seniority? Isn't this nonsense?"

Liang Shicheng said again: "The Minister of the Ministry of War is in charge of many things in the Ministry of War. If Lord Li takes up this position, he will definitely be in a hurry and cannot manage the Ministry of War well. I feel that anyone is better than Lord Li!"

"King Yan, although the two people you recommended before have made contributions to Da Song, we all know Li Gefei, how can he be in this position!"

Another person from Cai Jing stepped forward.

"That's right, I feel that the position of Minister of the Ministry of War is very important, so I can't make a decision carelessly!"

"Weichen thinks so too!"

Many courtiers came out against it.

But at this moment Li Gefei was sluggish, he thought he had heard wrongly, let him be Minister of the Ministry of War?
This, Li Gefei felt a little appalled.

He dreamed of being a doctor of the Ministry of Officials, but the King of Yan suddenly asked him to be Minister of the Ministry of War, which jumped several levels in one fell swoop!
He didn't even dare to think about this position.

What everyone in the court said was not unreasonable. How could he have such experience, and he would definitely encounter a lot of troubles by then.

Of course, if he is really asked to do it, he can do it. After all, he still has the ability to do things, but it is difficult!

Everyone present was against it, but basically no one agreed.

Li Gefei was a little nervous at the moment, wondering why King Yan promoted him so much?

But in fact, Wu Zhi just looked at him as Li Qingzhao's father's face. In one place, Li Gefei can also be his own. He is not from Cai Jing's side. This is very important. If he can be promoted, he is just a minister of the Ministry of War anyway. It seems that Wu Zhi is actually not a big official position.

Now Wu Zhi is the king of Yan, and his status surpasses that of the prime minister. If Wu Zhi, a minister of the Ministry of war, wants to be promoted, it is not easy.

He was almost certain that Song Huizong would listen to his opinion. As for Li Gefei's management after taking office, Wu Zhi believed that Li Gefei had this ability.

And if he was Minister of the Ministry of War, Wu Zhi would naturally take care of him, such as building weapons, it would not be difficult to count as Li Gefei's achievements, and even let people from the Ministry of War come over to make more armor and the like.

Wu Zhi helped him, there was no other problem.

At this moment, Wu Zhi's proposal was opposed by many people. Song Huizong also felt that Li Gefei did not seem to be qualified enough, because the position of Shangshu had to be promoted by at least a fourth-rank official, and Li Gefei was only a sixth-rank official.

Where is this qualification.

However, thinking that Wu Zhi was very accurate in judging people, Song Huizong saw so many people objecting, and said: "My dear friends, I have already said last time that this candidate is recommended by the King of Yan. Before that, Yue Fei and Wu Song were recommended by the King of Yan. You have done a good job, I believe that the person recommended by King Yan will not be bad, Li Gefei!"

"Wei Chen is here!"

Li Gefei walked out tremblingly at this moment.

All civil and military officials glanced over, he was under a lot of pressure.

Song Huizong: "Since the King of Yan recommended you, I agree, and I will let you be the Minister of the Ministry of War. Are you competent?"

When Li Gefei heard this, his mind went blank.

Minister of the Ministry of War!
In his eyes, this is a high official.

It actually fell on him?

Li Gefei was a little dazed, and then suddenly knelt on the ground: "My minister, I can do it!"

"Okay!" Song Huizong nodded: "I will let you do this job!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your promotion! I will definitely be a good Minister of the Ministry of War in the future, and will not let Your Majesty down!"

Afterwards, Li Gefei withdrew.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhi nodded in relief.

This incident made the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty uneasy for a long time, and many people still opposed it, but Song Huizong had already made a decision, and no one could do it.

In addition, many ministers in the court began to respect King Yan very much, and no one except Cai Jing dared to object.

At this moment Wu Zhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the matter of shipbuilding that I proposed to His Majesty last time is now going to be implemented! However, shipbuilding requires money consumption, and some of it has to be taken from the treasury."

The last time Wu Zhi asked Song Huizong about shipbuilding, Song Huizong nodded: "How much silver does King Yan need?"

"100 million!"

Wu Zhi spoke.

Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.

It was 100 million at the first opening!

Oh my God!
Why so much money?

Even Cai Jing, who built the Longevity Mountain, only dared to ask for a part of it. Wu Zhi asked for 100 million taels of silver, which is quite a lot.

Song Huizong: "I agree!"

"Your Majesty, the shipbuilding King Yan mentioned, is this building ships at sea?"

Cai Jing asked.

Song Huizong said with a smile: "Exactly, King Yan wants to build more powerful ships and form a sea army in the future, which will benefit the development of our Great Song Dynasty!"

Cai Jing: "But Your Majesty, shipbuilding is not something that happens overnight!"

Wu Zhi: "You don't need to worry about this, Lord Cai!"

"I build a ship to form a sea army, which is of greater benefit to the Song Dynasty. No matter how much it costs, it is a strategy for a strong country. There is a vast sea area on the border of the Northern Song Dynasty. If we build a strong sea fleet and load enough For food and grass, we will be able to enter the territory of the Kingdom of Jin to the north at that time, where we want to go ashore, when, where, and what means of attack, we all have the initiative, and the Kingdom of Jin will be caught off guard!"

"In this way, the opponent can only defend and lose a lot of land advantages!"

Cai Jing: "Maritime troops, ships, soldiers, food and grass, and construction all need to be consumed by the state treasury. If they are taken out of the state treasury, how much can it be?

Weichen suggested that the construction should be stopped, and the money of the Song Dynasty should be used wisely. In the future war between the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, we will need to spend a lot of money to participate in the war. Where will the money come from to build ships! "

"And there is no need to go to sea at all. You, King Yan, will lead troops to fight, and you can disintegrate them directly from land."

Cai Jing gets angry when he sees Wu Zhi now.

Don't let Wu Zhi do whatever he wants, you can do whatever you say?It's too domineering.

However, Wu Zhi said: "Your Majesty, Master Cai does not understand the importance of the sea army, but as long as your majesty trusts the humble minister, the humble minister will naturally build a large number of naval troops and strengthen the Song Dynasty!

Master Cai stopped me, probably out of personal revenge, right?This is clearly a way to strengthen the country, why is Mr. Cai so opposed?Could it be that Lord Cai doesn't want Da Song to become stronger? "

"..." Cai Jing stared at Wu Zhi.

It's a pity that there is no way to take Wu Zhi.

In the end, the official said: "Money is not a problem, I just ask the Ministry of Households to transfer it, King Yan, just go ahead and do it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Zhi ignored Cai Jing.

At this moment, Cai Jing seemed to have vented his resentment in the soil, and it was useless. He could only hold back the aggrieved heart.

Sometimes, he doesn't even want to be the prime minister anymore.

The officials listen to Wu Zhi in everything, so why should he be a prime minister?
But he didn't dare to say that.

Everything is done according to Wu Zhi.

The most important thing is that Song Huizong knew that Wu Zhi could produce something that would benefit the Song Dynasty, so there was no reason not to support it.

Moreover, the Wuzhi Business Division is making a profit, and the money in the treasury can be used to maintain consumption.

After everyone retreated.

Cai Jing and other popular people left quickly.

But at this moment, Li Gefei walked over outside the main hall, with tears in his eyes, very excited: "King Yan, I never expected that King Yan would promote me to be Minister of the Ministry of War, and I succeeded! Repay King Yan's kindness!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Master Li, this is just a trivial matter. Your daughter Li Qingzhao is my righteous sister. What is this, but you have to do well in this position, don't embarrass me!"

"Don't worry, King Yan, I, Li Gefei, just lost my life, and I have to do a good job in the Ministry of War!"

"That's not the case. You just took office and you still need to familiarize yourself with a lot of things. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me!"

"Thank you King Yan!"

Li Gefei left with apprehension and excitement.

When he returned home, Li Qingzhao asked him about the situation in the early court today: "Father, did the King of Yan promote you to be a doctor in the Ministry of Officials today?"

　Wu Dalang: That's all for today. .
