But then again, Xiao'er's medical skills seem to be quite good. Her mother was already in very bad condition before she entered the palace, but just now His Highness heard that her mother spoke fluently and was in good spirits. It can be seen that it was Xiao'er's contribution.
Moreover, I heard that the illness of the king of the town was also very serious, and the palace was preparing for his funeral. As a result, Xiaoer went to treat him and brought him back from the hell.
Could it be that Xiaoer can also heal his leg? If he could stand up again, he would fight for His Highness until his last breath so as to live up to their great kindness.
Nangong Yitian told everyone about the current situation, and also told Min Xiang that he intended to implement the New Deal, and that military spending would increase accordingly, which would be used to manufacture weapons, improve military food, recruit troops and raise horses.
"This time Beiying is making trouble because of military expenditures. It's okay to cause trouble, but they took the lead in rebellion and caused this chaos. In fact, the annual military expenditures of Wei Dynasty are far lower than other The country, plus after a battle with the Rong people, we lost troops and generals, and the weapons have not been updated, so it is just a small fight, but once we encounter a major war, our army will not be able to resist."
Min Xiang said: "Weichen has understood this matter. The increase in military expenditures has been mentioned before, but it has always been rejected. The veto was still proposed by Leng Zhenhuan, but Weichen remembers that the emperor agreed at that time. Why does the emperor not agree now?" "
"In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of money after the war, and we have to spend money everywhere. The country is indeed facing this problem now. There is a reason for the emperor's objection. It is too difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, we can't suffer the military defense. No No matter how well the military defense develops, it will eventually become a piece of cake in the mouths of others."
"Yes." Min Xiang was convinced. During the years he had been exiled in the border town, the enemy had always tried to invade. Although there was no large-scale invasion, he had to be prepared for this.
There is a strong military defense force. If you can fight, you can fight. If you don't fight, it will at least be a barrier to protect the development of the Wei Dynasty.
"But the problem is that the court can't come up with the money now." Min Xiang said.
Nangong Yitian paused, "It's not that it can't be taken out, but both the emperor and the cabinet believe that they won't be able to afford war in the next ten years, so they deducted the originally increased military expenditure and prepared to use it elsewhere."
Min Xiang doesn't know much about these situations yet, but since His Highness has told him what he wants to do, he will definitely think of a solution in this regard.
However, what he found strange was that when the war started, the emperor and Leng Zhenhuan had a lot of confrontations, and that was the consolidation of military defense. Why did the emperor not do it now that Leng Zhenhuan had stopped him? Woolen cloth?
The emperor is far-sighted. It is impossible that because there is no war now, he feels that the border defense is stable and there will be no enemy invasion.
Recalling the conversation with the emperor, Min Xiang's heart sank. He felt that the emperor seemed to be setting up difficulties for His Highness and deliberately making things difficult for him.
This may be the emperor's test of the prince, but it may also be the emperor's fear of the prince.
This time, if the matter in Beiying was not handled by the King of Zhen and handled directly by His Highness, the military morale would be somewhat lost.
If this was to suppress the prince, and he did not hesitate to use it to disturb the morale of the army, then the emperor's move was a bit excessive.
But if you say no, you can talk about increasing military spending slowly, instead of saying it directly and giving people the opportunity to use it to incite military morale.
In addition, the emperor did not deal with the mastermind this time, and was not even allowed to investigate, so it is very likely that King Jin's actions were tacitly approved by the emperor.
