Chapter 292: The Emperor's Student 3

After saying that, Jiang Lang looked at Xu Zhi and asked, "I wonder if there is any solution to my Ming Dynasty lack of war horses? Should I spend more money to buy from Watshu every year, or should we send troops to attack Watshu and steal their grassland?"

Xu Zhi was stunned, still kneeling on the ground, thought for a while, and said, "We can reclaim the pasture and raise horses."

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xu's method may be good, but I want to ask, how many ranches are most suitable for us to cultivate? How many war horses do we need to raise to be suitable for our Ming soldiers?"

After asking Xu Zhi, Jiang Lang turned his head to look at the others and then said, "You may as well think about it. This is not only the emperor's problem, but also the Ming Dynasty problem. You may as well come up with ideas when doing it. Think about how many pastures we need to cultivate to raise enough war horses?"

No one was willing to say anything, and almost no one present could answer this question. The Ming Dynasty lacked the most war horses and the most ranch. If enough war horses really needed, there would be enough ranch. This is a big number.

Xu Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't say anything anymore, and he couldn't answer this question.

Seeing that no one present could answer, Jiang Lang shook his head slightly. This situation was expected, so he continued: "Even if we have enough land to use it as a ranch, how much time does it take to convert this land into a ranch? How many people do it take? After the ranch, the stallion comes from where. Our Ming horses are not suitable for war horses at all. I think everyone present knows."

After pausing, Jiang Lang continued: "This one seems a bit unworkable, so the second one is to attack Wasai and steal their grassland. Our Ming Dynasty just fought with Wasai, and the elite troops in the country suffered serious losses. The cavalry of Wasai naturally had his own strength in the grassland. Even if we send troops to attack them, it would be a tragic victory. After occupying the grassland, we have to send troops to defend, and how can Wasai be willing to let go? In this way, we will fight for each other, and use the lives of countless good men in the Ming Dynasty to get a grassland. I don't know how long it will take for the grassland. Everyone thinks it is worth it!"

Xu Zhi was snatched by Jiang Lang's words and had no chance to speak. Now, when Jiang Lang paused, he immediately said: "It is natural for a good man to sacrifice his life for the country. Is there anything worth it or not?"

Jiang Lang's heart was suddenly a little angry. These nerds were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality to serve the country. In fact, their mouths were even more powerful than the enemy's sword, and they could not see any blood when they killed people.

However, this was in public after all, and Jiang Lang was not in a state of anger. He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "In the eyes of the adults, it is not convenient to see the lives of soldiers too clearly. Like you, they are all born and raised by their parents. As the Minister of Rites, he naturally understands these things better than those of us, but the lives of soldiers so despised is inconsistent with your official title. Moreover, when those soldiers were desperately trying to defend their families and the country, did the adults also take weapons to the city wall? Do adults think that they are officials of the court, or they are a literati? The thing about defending their families and the country is what our martial artists should do? You must know that this Ming Dynasty is not just our home, but it is the home of the adults."

Jiang Lang's words were not very good, but military generals were different. There were not only civil officials to attend to the dinner tonight, but there were also many military generals. As soon as Jiang Lang said this, someone shouted: "Mr. Wang said it is reasonable. It is indeed our duty to quote for the country. As generals, we should naturally do what we should do? Brothers sacrificed their lives for the country, bleeding and sweating were just for the people. It is not what you, the Minister of Rites, said, "Your Majesty, are you talking about. Next time there is an invasion, will it be a master? Maybe when others see you as the Minister of Rites, they will be scared back, and there is no need for us to fight each other desperately. In the eyes of the Lord, we are not worth it even if we die."

"Mr. Wu is right..."

Someone took on the topic and said, "When we fought desperately against the thorns, I didn't see you, Lord Shangshu, climbing the city wall. I wonder if you are hiding at home and holding the book of sages? If this book of sages can save your life, what do we do?"

More and more generals took on the topic, as if a barrel of explosives was ignited by Jiang Lang. Many rebukes at the scene pointed at Xu Zhi, and there were many swear words. Thinking about how many of these generals were elegant people, the impulse naturally spoke out.

Jiang Lang couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that his words would cause reactions from many generals present. Xu Zhi was almost flooded by the saliva of these generals. The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner that was originally reunited was as messy as if it had been boiled.

However, Jiang Lang immediately woke up, waved his hand quickly, and shouted: "Everyone is calm!"

After using enough strength to roar, the voices on the spot were quiet, and Jiang Lang felt relieved and said to Xu Zhi: "Mr. Xu, although defending the country is the responsibility of us, it does not mean that we like to fight. The adults present and the soldiers all want to live a peaceful life, enjoy the joy of family with their families when they are old, and there is no one willing to die in the battlefield. What Mr. Xu said just now is indeed inappropriate. Moreover, I would like to ask Mr. Xu again, why can't this little prince with thorns be the emperor's student? Entering the Imperial College? Is it because they are foreign countries? Or are they afraid of raising tigers? Or do they think the little prince is not worthy of being the emperor's student?"

Xu Zhi was still kneeling on the ground. The words he had no thoughts just now made him suffer. Now Jiang Lang asked, but he couldn't get up and didn't answer.

Seeing Xu Zhi's scoundrel performance, Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh and said, "The two countries have been fighting for many years. The result is not only the death of soldiers, but also the displacement of the people. Sir, you should understand this. If you don't understand, you can naturally go out of the city to take a look."

"snort……!"

Xu Zhi snorted coldly: "You are worthy of talking about these things, but you didn't see you being merciful when you killed someone. Now I'm telling me these great principles, are you worthy of them?"

The third prince and Yu Qian's expressions changed at the same time. Without waiting for Jiang Lang to speak, Yu Qian said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu, your words are too much. Don't forget your identity. If the dignified Minister of Rites says these words, wouldn't he lose his identity?"

Even Emperor Jingtai changed his face slightly. After Yu Qian finished speaking, he continued: "Xu Aiqing, your words are indeed inappropriate. You and Wang Aiqing are at the same time, and I am sharing my worries with you. Moreover, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am pre-registering this prince as a student. That is a good thing. If you object, you will naturally have your ideas. But if you say such a beautiful scenery, wouldn't it be a big shame!"

"I know the crime!"

Xu Zhi had nothing to say, and he kowtowed.

"Forget it, forgot!"

Emperor Jingtai waved his hand and said, "You get up too. I am determined now. You don't have to say more. This matter was not a hasty decision. But I have considered it for a long time. The Ming Dynasty and Wats are adjacent, so we should naturally get along well. However, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the two countries have been fighting continuously, and countless soldiers were killed and injured, and the people were even displaced. I saw it, and it hurts in my heart!"

"The emperor is kind!"

The ministers present knelt down almost at the same time and said in unison.

Emperor Jingtai raised his hand slightly and said, "All the ministers have risen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After a neat thank you, the ministers present stood up.

Emperor Jingtai held the little prince's hand intimately and said, "The reason why I wanted to accept this prince from Watana as a student is that he wanted him to learn the culture of the Ming Dynasty and the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. After he ascended the throne and became the Khan of Watana in the future, he would always think about our Ming Dynasty. At that time, the two countries trust each other, even in just a few decades, which would allow the people to recuperate, which would be of great merit."

After pausing, Emperor Jingtai continued: "Take the issue of war horses that Wang Aiqing mentioned just now. If we are friendly with Wats, we can get war horses from them more cheaply. Similarly, they can get what they need from us. During this period, we can cultivate our ranch by ourselves. It will not take long before our Ming Iron Cavalry will be invincible in the world."

"The emperor is wise!"
