Chapter 21 Flying (Ch 21)

Building schools is to restore people’s livelihood? !
After hearing these words.
All the ministers in the Golden Palace were stunned.
I don’t know why.
After looking at the future of Chen Huaixin predicted by the Jiantian Mirror.
They were confused and puzzled a lot more.
Previously deduced the future of those on the gold list.
Even He Wanlin, who had persisted for five full years, only managed to keep them silent for a long time.
But everything Chen Huaixin did was beyond their expectations every time!
And this time.
What Chen Huaixin said.
It even caused many ministers to reveal expressions of astonishment on their faces!
“Can building schools also restore people’s livelihood?”
“Isn’t this a waste of money and effort?”
“Chen Huaixin has a good talent in military affairs. He can do a good job of logistics even for a large army marching. But when it comes to people’s livelihood, he is just messing around!”
“…”
Many ministers could not help but start discussing.
Even though he was slapped in the face by Chen Huaixin before, that was more or less related to the military aspect. Even Jingping Pavilion and Jingling Hall could be seen as extensions of the military aspect!
As for the story about the Dacheng treasure notes that was told in front of the campfire outside Yuanju County at the beginning, it was just to provoke the anger of the militia!
now.
This is the first time that Chen Huaixin is truly governing the country!
In their eyes, those ideas and methods were just childish pranks!
As civil servants, they may not know much about military affairs, but do they know how to govern the country?
At least they have never seen anyone restore people’s livelihood like Chen Huaixin!
so.
this time.
They will never be slapped in the face again!
“Minister Wei.”
“You are also the Minister of Revenue.”
“What do you think of Chen Huaixin’s idea?”
Perhaps in order to gain more approval, some civil servants turned their attention to the Minister of Revenue Wei Taihe.
Wei Taihe was calm and didn’t say anything, but the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mu Xiuqi, who was standing next to him, immediately understood that his superior didn’t want to show too strong a tendency to avoid any embarrassing incident, so he took the initiative to step forward and speak.
“Chen Huaixin is very suitable for joining the army because he is indeed talented in that area.”
“But governing a country and restoring people’s livelihood is not as simple as marching and fighting.”
“If he had listened to the advice of my Chengguo Revenue Department doctor, he would have been able to help the Yu Kingdom hold out a little longer.”
“But if you continue to act arbitrarily and do whatever you want, you can restore people’s livelihood.”
“It is only a matter of time before Yu Country is engulfed in flames!”
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Mu Xiuqi, spoke with great confidence.
He seemed to acknowledge Chen Huaixin’s military ability, but in fact he was just belittling the general!
That man who had a talent in military affairs and whom the Duke of Weiguo even wanted to teach personally was not as good as the doctor who worked in a low-paying office in the Ministry of Revenue among their civil servants!
As for marching and fighting, it is not as difficult as governing a country!
Although the generals are upright, they are not fools!
After hearing Mu Xiuqi say this, the look in his eyes when he looked at him seemed a little strange.
Ji Changling even said directly: “Minister Mu, don’t be so confident. Is it possible that your level is not enough to understand Chen Huaixin’s ability?”
“Indeed, it seems that none of you have discovered before that the Dachengbao Note has such a huge hidden danger!”
“Even Minister Wei didn’t dare to speak, and you, a minister, dare to make a rash conclusion?!”
“…”
It begins with Ji Changling.
Naturally, other generals followed suit.
Mu Xiuqi didn’t dare to offend Ji Changling. He could only snort coldly, looking disdainful of arguing with you.
But the eldest daughter of the emperor, Ji Changning, shook her head and said, “To restore people’s livelihood, we should reduce taxes, reduce corvée labor, and let people rest and recuperate. Building schools is not a good idea.”
“Your Highness is right!”
“Moreover, not only did Chen Huaixin not let the soldiers lay down their arms and return to the fields, he also seemed to be preparing to launch a war against the barbarians. All these things will only cause the new dynasty to collapse faster and make the people live in misery!”
“…”
After seeing Ji Changning stand up, the civil servants seemed to have found a backbone and began to respond.
This was not what Ji Changning thought. She was simply comparing Chen Huaixin’s idea with the commonly used method of restoring people’s livelihood, not to support the civil servants.
She opened her red lips slightly, wanting to say something else.
But the Fifth Princess Ji Changqing, who had not spoken for a long time, spoke up at this moment: “Chen Huaixin’s idea must be correct! He is an expert in poetry and lyrics!”
Hearing this.
Neither the civil officials nor the military generals wanted to continue arguing.
Their discussion at least seemed to be well-founded, but Ji Changqing simply believed Chen Huaixin without thinking. No matter what Chen Huaixin did, she thought it was right!
Instead of talking about it anymore.
It would be better to continue watching the deduction.
Both sides stopped fighting and looked towards the Jiantian Mirror.
And the deduction about the future is not over yet.
【After hearing what Chen Huaixin said. 】
[The Minister of Revenue was stunned on the spot.]
[He looked at Chen Huaixin, as if asking, Your Majesty, are you sure you didn’t make a mistake? !]
[“Is the purpose of building schools to restore people’s livelihood?”]
[“This is a project that will be carried out in all parts of Yu Country!”]
【“In the early days of the founding of the country, there was a large-scale construction project.”】
[“Your Majesty, do you think Yuguo has been around for too long?”]
【The Minister of Revenue was full of confusion.】
[He was thinking about how to dissuade Chen Huaixin from this idea in a more tactful way.]
[But Chen Huaixin seemed to see what he was thinking, smiled and shook his head, and said: “Just proceed according to my plan. Anyway, there is still some money left in the treasury. If it really doesn’t work, we can just stop it.”]
[Seeing Chen Huaixin’s resolute look, the Minister of Revenue also knew that persuasion was futile, so he could only nod his head, but he sighed slightly in his heart.]
[The first year of Jingping, October.]
[Since he crushed many aristocratic families, he gained a lot of wealth from them. 】
[Chen Huaixin does not have to worry about the problem of a deficit in the national treasury in the short term, which also allows him to realize many of his ideas without too much pressure.]
[For example, building schools was one of the ways to restore the people’s livelihood and economy through work-for-relief. In addition, he also reduced taxes, built water conservancy projects, and arranged for people to measure the land and count the population across the country.]
[“I only know the specific situation of Yuguo.”]
【“Only in this way can we develop better!”】
【Chen Huaixin is very clear about this truth.】
【but.】
[Just when he was thinking about what approach to take for the army, whether to establish a full-time army or a military settlement system, someone suddenly came to report.]
[“Your Majesty, we have found the princess of the previous dynasty in Chang’an City!”]
[“Huh? There is actually a princess from the previous dynasty in Chang’an City? How did you find out?”]
[“Because…she flew.”]
【“???”】
