"I don't dare to-"

With such a big hat, the Taipu Temple Qing's face turned pale and she quickly knelt down. The poor nine ministers were trembling under the emperor's light words and dared not speak.

"Okay, get up!" Li Jia smiled indifferently. Looking at his fearful look, he felt that his regency was getting stronger and stronger. He felt more and more joy in his heart, and said disrespectfully:

"I know what you mean. Someone is not arbitrary. If you have any advice, it will be good, no matter whether it is right or wrong, it will be good. Let's open up the road to speech!"

"Your Majesty said so much!" The Taipu Temple Minister wiped his sweat and nodded. Hearing the emperor's words, he felt relieved.

"The Xiangjun is indeed too much!" Li Jia thought for a moment and felt that Xiangjun had no money. Her advantages were obvious, but her disadvantages were more obvious. The inferiority outweighed the advantages. Xiangjun really wanted to have no need for it.

"Let Shaofu Temple take over the Xiangjun, don't make things difficult for Shaopu Temple!" Li Jia casually ordered Tian Zhong who was beside him.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Minister of the Taipu Temple immediately exclaimed. Anyway, the emperor had enough money. After giving this hot elephant army, his task was finally completed.

After he left, Li Jia asked, "The cost of the Xiang army is so great? Don't you just eat some grass? Even if it is fruits and vegetables, there are some in the south. Lingnan is like spring all year round, and it is still lacking in this thing?"

Not to mention other things in the south, some plants, trees, melons and fruits can be picked at will. The streets and alleys are full of vendors selling candied fruits, which shows that they are extremely cheap and are loved by the people.

No matter how much you eat five or six hundred elephants, if you convert them into food, you will actually wait for the food of two ordinary people.

Logically speaking, this is easy to support.

"Your Majesty, although the war elephants are not eaten much, they serve many people. Usually, two or three people are required. If they are incorporated into the battle formation, there will be three or four ordinary archers, and there will be no less than ten people in the traction and cooperation infighters."

The one who served on the side was Tian Zhong's godson Tian Fu. He was about twenty years old and was diligent and neat. Tian Zhong usually worked on the affairs of the eunuchs and ministers, and the one who served on the side was his godson.

Li Jia really couldn't change the habit of eunuchs' recognition. It was a practice for one or two thousand people to be a man. As long as his godson was not an ordinary civil servant or military general.

"In other words, if an elephant raises ten soldiers?" Li Jia said in surprise.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Tian Fu said.

"Let's go and have a look!" Li Jia became interested in an instant and said freely, very frivolous.

"I'm ready now!" Tian Fu saw the emperor's appearance and knew that he was about to leave the palace again. Everyone got used to it.

On duty, Yuan joined the army immediately arranged two hundred people to guard the carriages, and the carriages were ready, so there was naturally no shortage of clothes.

"Let's go to Shaopu Temple to take a look!" Li Jia was very excited.

"My husband, the saint is out of the palace again!" Zhao Cheng and others, who were reviewing the memorials, received the news.

"When the saint is interested, make good arrangements and never make mistakes!"

As the prime minister, due to Sun Zhao's pressing step by step, Zhao Cheng was tolerant and extremely obedient to the emperor in order to stabilize his position, and the emperor was also satisfied with the prime minister.

"Where are the saints going?" On the side, Sun Zhao was like a prime minister, and asked correctly.

"I heard that I went to Shaopu Temple. Early this morning, the Minister of Taipu Temple asked to see Your Majesty, wanting to dismiss the Xiang army and make a fortune!" The visitor said softly.

"Nothing!" Sun Zhao frowned and his whole body became serious: "The Ministry of Revenue has no money and food, what is Taipu Temple's minister doing?"

"When I write a letter, my salary will be deducted for half a year!"

As one of the nine ministers, although the Taipu Temple Minister had no power, he had a high status, and Sun Zhao could not dismiss him and could only deduct his salary as punishment.

"Have Mr. Sun made a big fuss?" Zhao Cheng said casually: "It is a good thing to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and Taipu Temple is doing it very well!"

"Where is no mistake in inducing the saint to leave the palace?" Sun Zhao confronted him in a tit-for-tat way without giving in.

On the side, Sun Guangxian and Deng Bin, one was promoted by the prefect of Jingnan, and had a shallow foundation; the other was promoted by the Minister of Personnel, who knew the principles of being a low-key person, so he ignored it and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

So, in the huge political affairs hall, hundreds of people watched the two priests confront each other.

"Hmph, the saint has his own reason to leave the palace. Isn't it a matter of patrolling Taipu Temple?"

Zhao Cheng did not give in at all. He wanted to maintain the majesty of his prime minister and said in a deep voice: "Do you think the saints are wrong when they leave the palace? Do you have any objections?"

"You--" Sun Zhao was choked in an instant. If he responded and the emperor knew about this, even though he pleased all the officials but he was evil to the emperor, his position would be unstable.

"Haha, Mr. Sun, you must be fair in your heart!" Zhao Cheng smiled. It was rare to see him holding him in. He smiled happily and returned to his office with the memorial.

"I'll let the censor impeach the Taipu Temple Minister later!" Zhao Cheng sat upright and said to the officials behind the hall next to him.

"Here!" The person who could serve him personally was naturally the confidant. He was slightly stunned when he heard this and quickly responded.

"Let the Ministry of Revenue allocate some money to the Xiangjun!" Sun Zhao sat down, whispered, and then began to review the memorial as if nothing had happened.

The huge court, ten prefectures, hundreds of counties, nearly ten million people, and the affairs are complicated. They are so hard-working that they are so prime ministers who are not busy on weekdays.

Moreover, officials of the fifth rank or above must report to the Emperor Ming to approve it. Although the prime minister has great power, there are many restrictions.

But it is said that Li Jia came to Taipu Temple, which is located outside the city.

Hundreds of elephants were indeed majestic and domineering, either playing in the water, eating, playing, and life was leisurely. There were hundreds of servants serving on the side, busy all the time.

Elephants are both old, weak, sick and disabled, and their development is different, so their combat power is naturally different.

"Maybe it's like raising war horses, fostering strong war elephants?"

Li Jia suddenly had a whim. If he cultivated a war elephant that was not afraid of fire, so that the strong male elephant had the right to mating, while the weak elephant had no mating, he would definitely be able to screen for war elephants suitable for war.

"Your Majesty, the elephant is extremely smart, no less than human beings!" The officials who raised the elephant did not expect the emperor to have such a strange idea, so he quickly bowed:

"Most of our elephants are purchased from Dali and Annan, and they are domestic elephants. The wild elephants, unless they are lonely elephants, will not be captured, because they are like humans, holding grudges, and they are as if nothing is done on weekdays, but they suddenly take revenge and trampling on them, how can they be perfect?"

"So?" This was the first time Li Jia knew the origin of the Xiang army.
