Farming and teaching across different worlds

, but it didn't show on the face, but he replied modestly: "That's not the case, it's just that this is the first time for an official to attend the court meeting, and Xiu Ran is just worried."

When Wang Shangshu heard this, he laughed and said: "With this general here, I will take care of Master Shi, Master Ji can rest assured."

After hearing this, Shi Jingchen cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Then thank you General Wang."

Chapter 176

As soon as Maoshi arrived, the gate of the palace opened wide, and everyone lined up to enter.

When the emperor's ceremonial guard arrived, everyone knelt down to salute and greet them. At this time, Yu Mi, who was sitting on the throne, swept the crowd indifferently, and then slowly said: "Your honor is flat."

Everyone got up, Lieban stood up, and the grand court officially began.

Since it was the first big court meeting this year, of course we had to sing praises at the beginning, and then we would report on the situation across the country during the New Year period.

After this routine procedure was over, it was time for everyone to play at will. After everyone discussed the matters to be played, Yu Mi raised her eyes to look at everyone, and said with a heavy voice: "What happened a few days ago, It shocked me, now that all the ministers are here, let’s listen together.”

After speaking, he signaled the palace people around him to come forward and read out the military report sent earlier.

After the palace servants finished reading it, among the people standing below, those who had heard about it for the first time began to discuss in whispers.

The person who was called into the palace by the emperor before stood there quietly with a serious face.

After everyone had discussed it for a while, Yu Xiancai said coldly with a stern tone: "Anyone who offends me will be punished no matter how far away he is."

After speaking, he glanced around the crowd, and then continued to speak slowly: "The fleet was attacked this time, and I decided to send troops to attack the overseas barbarians."

After everyone heard the emperor's words so firmly, those who wanted to advocate no war before did not dare to speak again.

Even the most stubborn representative of the conservative faction, Mr. Shoufu, honestly dared not say anything at this time.

He had been slapped with face by the emperor in the imperial study room before, so he has learned to be a little better.

Ever since he was punished by the emperor, Mr. Shoufu also seemed to be scared out of his wits. He completely lost his toughness before, and became timid in doing things. No wonder the emperor looked down on him more and more.

The emperor scanned around, seeing that no one raised any objection to his decision to play, he nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Ji Xiuran, who was standing in the crowd, was a little surprised. When he attended the Great Court Meeting, the emperor would use an inquiring tone to ask everyone to discuss something before making a conclusion.

But today, he changed his previous style and suddenly became tough. He didn't give other people a chance to raise different opinions, so he directly made a decision.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuran couldn't help frowning, raised his head and scanned the crowd to see the expressions on their faces.

It was clear that some people's faces clearly showed that they disagreed with the battle, but under the strong suppression of the emperor, they did not dare to express their opinions.

Ji Xiuran was a little worried. For a king of a country, it's not a good sign to talk like this without listening to the opinions of the people.

He frowned, looked up at the seat with worry in his eyes, accidentally caught a glimpse of Gongsun Zizhan standing second on the left, paused for a while, thought carefully, and then he was relieved.

No matter how the emperor changes, he is just an ordinary courtier, and he can't do anything except increase his troubles, so why not let those who have some weight in the emperor do the troubles.

Thinking of this, he let go of his frowning brows, and returned to a calm look, listening to the progress of the matter in the hall.

At this time, Yu Mi, who had resumed his casual sitting posture, sat on the throne, looked down calmly, and asked, "Is there anyone willing to fight?"

As soon as the emperor's words fell, everyone fell silent.

Great Xia naturally has no shortage of generals to lead troops to fight, but it is not just anyone who can crusade against overseas people and command naval battles like this.

During the silence, the air in the hall seemed to freeze, making everyone breathless.

Looking at the reaction of the people below, Yu Mi narrowed her eyes coldly and scanned around.

Just when everyone was about to kneel to the ground, their legs were so weak under the pressure of the emperor, a tall and straight figure walked forward slowly, prostrated themselves on the ground, and said loudly: "Commander Chenjin Haiwei, Shi Jingchen begs for orders."

Seeing the person who was slowly walking forward and prostrating to the ground, Yu Mi nodded in satisfaction, the oppressive aura on her body dissipated in an instant, and said in a joyful voice, "Shi Aiqing, let's get down."

After speaking, he relaxed and leaned on the throne, and said lightly: "Order the commander of Jinhaiwei, Shi Jingchen, to be the commander in chief of this overseas battle, to lead [-] troops to crusade overseas and to promote our country's prestige."

After receiving the emperor's appointment, Shi Jingchen immediately bowed to the ground and kowtowed to Long En.

Ji Xiuran looked at the kneeling man in the center of the hall, sighed in his heart, closed his eyes, and murmured helplessly: "Forget it, what should come will always come."

After the court meeting, Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen fell into even more busy preparations.

In addition to keeping an eye on the soldiers' training, Shi Jingchen also had to travel around to supervise the preparation of military supplies.

In addition to the food, medicine, and other food and clothing that the Ministry of Households must prepare, there are also weapons, armor, etc. that the Ministry of War is responsible for preparing.

In addition, keep an eye on the manufacture of new ships at the shipyard.

In short, the coach Shi Jingchen is the busiest of all.

Ji Xiuran was also busy with official duties. In addition to preparing the supplies for the battle, the preparations for the establishment of commercial and taxation departments all over the country could not be separated from him to preside over the overall situation.

After the Commercial and Taxation Department is completed, it needs a lot of manpower to support this structure.

This part needs to communicate with the Ministry of Officials, and some officials from all over the country will be transferred to fill in the commercial and taxation system.

When the emperor made the decree, he clearly instructed Ji Xiuran to have the right to appoint freely.

Therefore, the manpower required by the Commercial and Taxation Department this time must be deployed by him.

In this way, he will have to cooperate with the official department.

However, dealing with these officials from the six ministries was exhausting, so during this period of time, Ji Xiuran was indeed exhausted.

In addition to the officials dispatched through the cooperation of the Ministry of Officials, he also had to allocate all the people he had trained before.

Most of these people were brought out by him from Qingshan Village. Because these people didn't have any fame, they could only be petty officials in various places.

But what Ji Xiuran wanted was this effect. He put these people in various places, and the main purpose was to let them supervise the implementation of the new business and taxation policies in various places.

In this way, it is easier to act as a humble official.

This is also Ji Xiuran's countermeasure because he really had no other choice.

In this era of underdeveloped communications, he could not immediately get news of what happened in the capital.

After all, after the commercial and taxation departments in various places were established, the officials in power in the commercial and taxation departments were all drawn from all over the place.

These people want to deceive others while carrying out the orders of the imperial court. Without their own source of information, they will be very passive.

That's why he carefully cultivated a group of his own manpower and placed them in the commercial and taxation systems of various places to monitor the real situation of the implementation of the new commercial and taxation policies in various places.

Looking at the list in his hand, Ji Xiuran secretly sighed, his foundation is still too shallow, and when employing people like this, he would be so stretched.

During their busy month, they still took time out of their busy schedules to give Wang Chenglin a ride.

Sure enough, Wang Chenglin was appointed by the emperor as an imperial envoy, as he said before, to inspect government affairs in various places on behalf of the emperor.

Not long after sending Wang Chenglin away, their family wanted to send away Dahong and his wife again.

Lu Xiangyuan had studied business and taxation with Ji Xiuran before, and this time around the establishment of a commercial and taxation department, Ji Xiuran would of course consider sending people to other places to experience it.

In this way, he was given the post of county envoy of the Commercial and Taxation Department, and he was sent to work in Licheng County, Jinzhou.

This big red couple is leaving Beijing to take up their posts, so no matter how busy Ji Xiuran and the others are, they will find time to send them off.

But Da Hong and the others are juniors, so elders like Yu Li and the others cannot go out of the city to see them off.

Just send them out of the house and watch them get into the carriage.

Everyone came out of the house together, and Dahong and Lu Xiangyuan went to them to say goodbye.

Ji's father and Ji's mother raised their hands to support the two of them, Ji Xiuran looked at Lu Xiangyuan, and finally instructed: "On business matters, uncle won't say more, but it's a long way to go, so we must take good care of Hongyuan."

Lu Xiangyuan listened, bowed and saluted, and replied: "Don't worry, uncle, nephew Xu will definitely do his best to protect his wife."

Seeing him like this, Ji Xiuran nodded in satisfaction, didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Dahong who was beside him.

At this moment, when Dahong heard Ji Xiuran's words, his nose felt sore, and the circles of his eyes turned red.

Seeing her like this, Ji Xiuran immediately reprimanded her in displeasure: "I'm going to be a mother, why is she still acting like a little girl?"

When Dahong heard Ji Xiuran's words, her face turned red, she lowered her head, wiped her eyes gently with a handkerchief, and then softly replied: "Thank you, Uncle, Hong Yuan for protecting you."

Hearing her words, Ji Xiuran turned his head away, waved his hands, then turned his head and said to Lu Xiangyuan who was beside him: "It's getting late, you guys go on your way."

The two bowed to everyone for the last time before turning around and getting into the car.Before leaving, Dahong still couldn't help turning her head with red eyes, and looked at everyone reluctantly.

Mother Ji looked at Dahong like this, and her eyes turned red with reluctance.

Ji's father at the side saw Ji's mother like this, and said reproachfully: "You are acting like this, how can the child be willing to leave, put away your tears."

After hearing this, Mother Ji felt that she was being hypocritical, so she turned around and wiped her eyes.

Ji Xiuran
