"No gifts are not allowed. I'll hear you all the time from afar that you've been arguing in the palace. Do you want me to open the palace gate and let the people in the city come in and take a look?

The six tribes and pillars of the country are like sluts in the market. They are so blushed for a little money and grain that they can fight for. They almost fought. It really makes me feel embarrassed when it is spread!"

Liu Ce strode to the Jinsei Chateau that belongs to the center, turned around and sat down, showing the majesty of the emperor who ruled the world.

Xu Wenjing immediately bowed and said, "What Your Majesty taught me is that this move has indeed failed to be a ruthless official manner and will definitely improve in the future."

Liu Ce stopped and signaled everyone to sit down, scanned the six ministers in the hall, and then asked Qin Mo: "Shangshu Qin, what is the situation of the locust plague in Jingdi?"

Qin Mo bowed and replied, "Report to Your Majesty, I have sent 200,000 stones of grain to Jingdi with the people from the Relief Department the day before yesterday.

Moreover, from the secret documents reported by the Intelligence Department, the situation of the local people is consistent with the reports of local officials. Although there are disasters, they are all within controllable range.

The stock of the local government office can be maintained until at least mid-October, and the food stored in the people's homes is enough to last until the end of the disaster due to His Majesty's policies over the past two years."

Liu Ce nodded and said, "That's good. I don't want the people under my rule to become refugees due to natural disasters and repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty.

Of course, you must also use this to whip yourself even more. How to deal with disaster prevention in the future should also become a compulsory subject for the Ministry of Revenue."

Qin Mo bowed respectfully: "I have recorded it."

Liu Ce looked at Ye Bin again: "Shangshu Ye, I have read all the changes in the Education Department you mentioned before.

Very good. As you agree, the National Academy will be added next year and will be open to the people. If the Han Dynasty wants to develop for a long time, it cannot be separated from the educated and knowledgeable people.

Anyone who is interested in knowledge, I welcome them to refer to any books in the academy!”

Ye Bin stood up and thanked: "Thank you for your support. I believe that in the near future, our Han people will be full of vitality and be reborn."

Liu Ce smiled slightly and looked at the calligraphy script of the Ministry of Justice: "Shangshu, how did the revision of the laws of the Han Dynasty proceed?"

The Law and Ji replied: "Report to Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly. By the latest, the shortcomings of the law will be revised and improved."

Liu Ce Qingshu's eyes: "The law is one of the keys to maintaining the operation of the country. I hope that my great men, whether powerful or civilians, can abide by the law.

Why did the previous dynasty be destroyed? The original reason is that the rule of law is corrupt, and the powerful regard the "Zhou Law" as dirt. The contradiction between the gentry and the common people is completely ignited by the unfairness of the law.

I hope this will not happen in this dynasty, or even never."

Law and law: "Please rest assured that my Majesty, I will revise a complete Han law to benefit the people of this dynasty!"

Liu Ce nodded slightly and said to Gongyang Gao directly: "Shangshu Gongyang, you have really made me worry about this period. The documents impeached you from all over the world will almost fill my bedroom!"

Gong Yang Gao said: "Report to Your Majesty, I am doing things strictly according to your will. How can I tolerate unqualified officials?

It is said that it is better to have nothing than to be abusive. Even if the impeachment paper is overwhelmed, I will never ignore what they have done!"

Liu Ce nodded in praise: "Do you know why I made you the Minister of Personnel in an extraordinary way? Not for anything else, it is your enthusiasm that makes me very satisfied.

It is precisely because of your selfless attitude that I am very relieved to give you this important position in the Ministry of Personnel. Do you think so, Shangshu Xu?"

In the last sentence, Liu Ce said it at Xu Wenjing, with an indescribable meaning flashing in his eyes.

When Xu Wenjing heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty has a wise eye. No one is more suitable for the position of the Minister of Personnel than Gongyang Shangshu."

As he said that, he glanced at Gong Yang Gao slightly, and then said word by word: "Shangshu Gong Yang is selfless, honest and never merciful. He is such a rare good official. It is a blessing for our dynasty and the people."

Everyone present was not fools, so of course they could hear the strong dissatisfaction with Gong Yang Gao expressed in Xu Wenjing's words.

At this time, the best way is not to answer the conversation and let the matter be exposed like this. After all, Xu Wenjing is not easy to mess with.

But Gong Yang Gao said directly to Xu Wenjing: "Thank you for your kind words. For the kindness of Xu Shangshu, I feel sweeter than eating honey!"

"Hmph..." Xu Wenjing snorted coldly and stopped replying, but judging from his expression, he was quite unhappy at this moment.

Liu Ce looked at the two of them quietly, then asked Xu Wenjing: "Shangshu Xu, I heard that Han Kuang asked you for a giant catapult when you asked for it, but you didn't even approve it?"

Xu Wenjing immediately regained the momentum that he should have as a minister and said to Liu Ce: "Your Majesty, the memorial written by Han Kuang wants to have a giant stone catapult at Xuanwu Pass, but I think it is not suitable.

First, the giant catapult is inconvenient for long-distance transportation, and second, it is too bulky and will only become a living target when it is placed on the head of Xuanwu Pass.

What's more, the catapult can only play a real effect when attacking the toughest. It is a waste to defend the city, and it is far less harmful than the iron cannons thrown by the catapult cart to the enemy!

Therefore, I did not assign a catapult to Xuanwu Pass, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to take a clear look."

Liu Ce narrowed his eyes and said, "But Han Kuang said in the letter that there were also catapults in the Mongolian army, and its range was half as big as catapults.

It is very frustrating to be beaten but not fight back. It will cause great morale fluctuations to the defenders. Don’t you really plan to transfer a few catapults to go over?"

Xu Wenjing replied: "If Your Majesty insists on transferring the trench machine, then the Wei Minister will naturally cooperate and can transfer twenty giant trench machines to Xuanwu Pass at any time.

But Weichen learned from the front line that there were at least a hundred catapults in the Monroe army. Since this is the case, the adjustment or non-regulation of the twenty catapults still had no effect on the war."

Liu Ce: "But it's not a big deal to be beaten like this, right? Xu Shangshu, this problem must be solved."

Xu Wenjing smiled and said, "Your Majesty is very much. In fact, I am ready for countermeasures. If the situation is really uncontrollable, then send twenty new artillery cast by the general factory to the front line.

The new artillery has a maximum range of 550 steps, which is enough to reverse the range advantage of the giant trencher. However, this is a major concern, and His Majesty needs to nod his head."

Liu Ce immediately said, "Do you still have to ask me? Of course you have to transfer it. The lives of the 100,000 defenders in Xuanwu Pass are not a joke. You should start dealing with this matter immediately."

"I obey the order!"

Xu Wenjing got Liu Ce's approval and sat back in her seat with a spring breeze on her face.

For Xu Wenjing's ability, especially in military affairs, even if Gong Yang Gao is provoking him like this, he has to privately praise him far inferior to him.

It's no wonder. After all, Xu Wenjing has been trained all the way with Liu Ce from a sea of ​​swords and fire. Such experience is by no means something you can learn by just reading a few military books.
