"The Prime Minister wants those people to learn how to farm to produce more food?"

Shen Yizhen asked, is that so?

"Of course."

Xie Ji thought of this. He naturally didn't know the skills in this area, but there were many talents in this area in ancient times. All he could do was promote these technologies.

And once the food problem is solved, many problems will be solved easily. What is the most lacking thing in this era? The answer is food.

There are so many wars caused by food, so the food problem must be solved first.

When Xie Ji thought about this matter, he had to do it quickly and find the right person to do it.

"A skinny person will naturally not think about creating value. The first thing they think about is food and clothing, and they do not have the kindness, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust of so many people. Naturally, they will not think about how to lift the food up."

"Therefore, the first thing to solve is their food and clothing problem. Using temporary benefits to create long-term benefits is what we should do, instead of just focusing on the small profits in front of us."

After Xie Ji finished speaking, these dozen people were a little confused. They didn't need long-term benefits.

They just hope to gain enough benefits during their time as officials.

"Meng Tao." Xie Ji said, since His Majesty agreed to hand it over to him from the Ministry of Revenue, he would not ask any further questions.

Then it should be no problem for him to appoint a new Minister of Household Affairs.

"exist."

Meng Tao was a little surprised when Xie Ji called him, always feeling like something was going to happen to him.

"After the Minister of Hubu resigns, you will be the new Minister of Hubu."

Xie Ji is about to get down to business.

???

People around were shocked.

Secretary of the Ministry of Finance?

Even Meng Tao didn't expect anything. Xie Jiyou told him before that he would be promoted, but he didn't expect it to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

this……

It can’t be fake!

How can this be.

This unscientific.

This is simply impossible!

Even if they were dissatisfied with Wei Zhenzhi being appointed as household minister, they wouldn't be that surprised!

This surprise is as surprising as a beggar suddenly becoming a prince and aristocrat.

This person immediately ascended to heaven!

"Prime Minister, did you make a mistake?"

Meng Tao looked at Xie Ji with a very puzzled expression.

Prime Minister, are you mistaken?

You can't be kidding!

"That's right, the truth is carefully considered."

Xie Ji said calmly that he had indeed considered the matter carefully.

The person he felt he could fully understand was Meng Tao.

After all, he often serves the original person.

Moreover, Meng Tao did not take bribes like other officials, let alone seek wealth.

Moreover, Meng Tao was a good person and did not use his status to shout around at his servants.

He has always been neither humble nor arrogant towards his original self, and handled some affairs without being sloppy.

Much better than those old fried dough sticks in the court.

And Xie Ji now obviously trusts Meng Tao more than others.

Furthermore, Meng Tao had no other forces behind him, and his family was just him and his old mother.

Such people will never be controlled by others.

Besides, His Majesty has entrusted the entire household department to me, so I can't let him down.

Looking at those officials, it's not that I, Xie Ji, doesn't believe it, but their actions make him unable to believe it.

What's more, the original person basically doesn't care about them and doesn't know what kind of people they are.

Although there is information, it still makes Xie Ji feel a little unreal.

Xie Jijue and his fellow court officials are not trustworthy at all.

Even among those who are called Xie Ji's faction, there are a few who really stand on Xie Ji's side.

I see that many people just want to use their original names to make money.

Then let the original person take the blame.

There are many such things, and that's what the Changling County Magistrate was like.

Moreover, he will do a lot of things next.

You can't let a nobleman take the position.

No matter how fair and selfless he is, he will inevitably not be affected by other aspects.

Meng Tao is indeed more suitable, not to mention his age is an advantage.

I feel it is better to promote a young and energetic person than an old and senile person.

Those people's habits have been formed and are not suitable for their next actions.

As for Wei Zhenzhi, he is also young, and he is also close to the position of Minister!

Xie Ji wanted to ignore him.

Why does he think Wei Zhenzhi likes to lose his temper?

What's more, he has never done anything practical since he entered the court. He only eats melon seeds and watches the fun.

Moreover, although he will not take bribes, he is not good at eating and appearance.

He likes to take advantage of others, especially running around to get food.

This miser is not what he wants either.

What's more, he didn't see Wei Zhenzhi do anything.

I know too little about him.

Apart from knowing that he is a miser who is lucky and takes advantage of others, little is known about the rest.

Even if it's the original person? I only know that he is really easy to take advantage of.

Twelve hours a day, either at home or on the way to grab a meal.

Although I have a monthly salary of 7,000 taels, I haven’t spent a few taels of silver at all in the past few years.

This wouldn't be like this for normal people.

Not to mention he is still a high-ranking official.

Moreover, this luck must be too good.

Good can't really be too good.

Therefore, Xie Ji felt that this person was not as harmless as imagined.

Meng Tao is more at ease.

"Prime Minister, this is unreasonable."

Meng Tao continued, this, this is simply a pie in the world!

He really felt that Xie Ji had gone too far.

It would be fine if you upgrade one or two levels, but this is a direct jump to the second level.

I used to be a little-known official.

He just jumped up and became such a high-ranking official.

"Prime Minister, what Meng Changshi said is that since ancient times, no one has jumped from a small official to a high official. Even if you want to be promoted, you have to do it one level at a time. You cannot skip several levels at once."

Shen Yi was dissatisfied at first, why, why is this Meng Tao?

I think he is just a Taipusi Temple Minister, a third-rank official. Although his name may fool people, he is actually in charge of horses. To put it mildly, he is in charge of all the horses in the world.

He always hated this position, and he had no real power, so he was a little unhappy with Meng Tao.
