Xie Xiuwen is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Once the imperial court uses troops, he will not be idle here.
Don't think that fighting is just a matter for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. All yamen must cooperate.
The Ministry of Works needs to build equipment for the soldiers, the Ministry of Revenue needs to prepare food and grass, and the Ministry of Personnel needs to step up the selection of civil and military officials, etc.
When a war is fought, civil servants must also contribute. After the war, basically 90% of the work must be done by civil servants.
Therefore, Xie Xiuwen, the Minister of Civil Affairs, also needs to prepare early. He cannot just say that if he arrests someone here and takes the lead, big trouble will happen.
The fifth prince may appear to have a gentle personality, but he is actually a decisive person.
Just like whether this time it is a main battle or a peace, the fifth prince is firmly on the side of the main battle.
And his choice caused dissatisfaction among many civil servants, which made his brothers quite happy, because in this way, the fifth brother had offended most of the civil servants, and it would be difficult to win over them.
Emperor Jingwen looked at the intrigues among his sons and naturally made a decision in his heart.
Of all the sons, only Lao Wu is the most like him.
The Turks are deliberately looking for trouble right under their noses, why should they endure it?
It is simply an unforgivable sin!
However, as an emperor, he also knew that if the court wanted to go to war, all parties must prepare and cooperate. Among other things, the food and grass must be mobilized first.
"You all should take a look. This is the urgent report sent from the border last night. If you follow your tolerant attitude, I am afraid that in less than a month, I will let the Turkic King sit on my dragon throne. !”
This is too strong a statement.
Everyone knelt down to apologize. At this juncture, no one dared to provoke the Holy Wrath again.
"Hmph! Where is the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance?"
"Wei Chen is here!"
"How is the food and grass that I ordered you to prepare before?"
"Back to the Holy Spirit, half a million catties of grain have been raised and can be transported to the border first."
"Go first? What about the food that follows?"
The Minister of Civil Affairs wiped his sweat and said: "Back to the Holy Spirit, we are already raising money. Within half a month, we will definitely be able to raise another 500,000 catties of grain."
It sounds like a large amount, but it also depends on how many people the border has to feed.
Facing the Turks, the border commander said that he would increase his troops by 100,000, but he was afraid that these 100,000 would not be enough and more troops would have to be added when the time came.
"Where is the Minister of War?"
"Wei Chen is here."
"Do you have any good generals you would recommend?"
…
When Xie Xiuwen was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, the Holy Emperor finally showed mercy and ordered them to disperse.
As soon as Xie Xiuwen entered the house, he called to Douzi: "Hurry up, I'm starving to death, put it on the table quickly."
"Yes, sir. It just happened to be warmed up just now. It's just right to eat now. It's not cold or hot."
This food box was sent from home, so the food will naturally be good.
In fact, everyone knows that there will be a battle at the border sooner or later, and now there is friction between the two sides, and human lives are involved. If I, Dazhi, can tolerate it, then it means I am easy to bully. People are waiting to see that the people of Dazhi Dynasty are incompetent, and then they So that we can continue to grab the benefits.
While the court was still arguing, an urgent report from the border came back from eight hundred miles away!
A Turkic cavalry actually attacked the pass, causing twelve injuries to our Dazhi soldiers and six deaths.
The border war is about to break out.
Nowadays, no one talks about making peace or not, or being tolerant or not.
let's hit!
Xie Xiuwen was a civil servant and did not know how to fight, but he knew what was needed for war. Therefore, before any decision was made in the court, he had already contacted Xie Rongzhao and obtained hundreds of thousands of bunches of pancakes, thousands of kilograms of fried noodles and various meats. Dry.
For emergency marches, this kind of dry food is naturally the best to carry and easy to eat on the road.
After Xie Rongzhao received the news, he directly expanded the scale of production and coordinated with several merchants. When the country goes on an expedition, everything must first be focused on the military needs of the court.
With these rations, among the 100,000 troops assembled by the imperial court in the capital, 20,000 cavalry rushed to the border to help, fearing another accident.
All the measures were taken into account, whether related to the official department or not, Xie Xiuwen took them into consideration, which made Emperor Jingwen very pleased.
A capable minister should be like this.
Xie Xiuwen is now a cabinet minister, and the position of Minister of Civil Affairs is enough to establish his position in the court.
There are currently five cabinet ministers in the Dazhi Dynasty, and Xie Xiuwen ranks fourth. The three in front are all elders of the two dynasties, and are older than Mr. Xie.
In fact, Emperor Jingwen wanted to support the new cabinet ministers, but it was difficult to make it too obvious.
Nowadays, among the five cabinet ministers in the court, in addition to Xie Xiuwen, another one has also come in to fill the position. However, he is seven or eight years older than Xie Xiuwen, and his resume is not as good as Xie Xiuwen's. However, he comes from a family of officials, so this is There is a foundation.
Xie Xiuwen is now the youngest minister in the court. It is precisely because of his youth that the courtiers outside will call Xie Xiuwen Lord Xie, or Shangshu Xie, but no one calls him Mr. Xie Ge directly. He is too young. Shengge always can't shout out.
But occasionally, someone would call him that. Xie Xiuwen didn't care about it, it was just a title, it didn't matter.
This battle lasted for more than a year.
Fortunately, there is finally good news.
The Turks were defeated and handed over a letter of surrender.
It was winter again. Xie Rongzhao looked at the tidied dormitory and suddenly felt a little emotional. He didn't know what he thought of, and his face turned slightly red.
Wang Zizhen came over and took a look at the bed, then went to the ear room to take a look at the hot water prepared: "Miss, it's time to take a bath."
"Well, Aunt Wang, do you think anyone will laugh at me when I come back this time?"
Wang Zizhen understood what her master was worried about and said with a smile: "What's so funny? You don't want to give birth, but it's not that you can't give birth."
Xie Rongzhao sighed: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. After the Chinese New Year, I will be nineteen, and sister Ying is already a mother."
"If Miss, you want to have a child, then we can ask the doctor to check your pulse later. If nothing happens, you can also mention it to my uncle."
Xie Rongzhao thought of Cheng Jingzhou's words that day, his eyes flashed, and he said unconfidently: "It should be possible."
Cheng Jingzhou was transferred back to the capital. The specific position has not yet been determined, but according to his father's wishes, he will most likely stay in the capital.
No matter how good it is, if she can stay with her parents, if she really gets pregnant in the future, she will feel more at ease.
The couple rested for one night, had breakfast the next day, and then went to Xie's Mansion with the New Year's gift.
Liu Ruolan just said a few words to Cheng Jingzhou, and then hurriedly pulled Xie Rongzhao to the backyard.
"What's going on? You haven't healed your body yet?"
Liu Ruolan was afraid that she would be unable to have children again because of her weak body. If that was the case, she would have harmed her daughter.
Xie Rongzhao shook his head: "Mom, I'm fine. I'm fine. If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor to diagnose my pulse."
"Then why are you still not pregnant? Now it's Chinese New Year and you're nineteen. Look at Zhao Ying, she's already a mother. There's still no movement here. Do you know how many people in the capital are staring at your husband? ?" (End of this chapter)
