Most of the warriors were excluded and looked down upon in the court. However, although Ye Chunqiu was a military man, his status was special, so even though he had many contributions, he was finally not afraid of others and was impeached and attacked. Otherwise, the outcome would not be too wonderful.

This is a strange system that has been born after greedying for more than a hundred years, making anyone no longer be prepared for danger in times of peace. It puts the importance of civil servants in the most extreme position. Even a small civil servant of the sixth and seventh rank can scold and ridicule and ridicule military officers of the third and fourth rank. Even if he is a high-ranking minister and becomes a general officer, he has to tie up his tail and pursue a set of worldly philosophy of the doctrine of the mean.

Ye Chunqiu felt that the only thing he could be glad was that the Portuguese were far away from the Ming Dynasty at this time. Although there were threats, it would not really be too harmful. If the group of Japanese pirates who had been troubled by the Ming Dynasty for decades were replaced by a group of real-time soldiers, and harassed or invaded the Ming coast with the actions of the state, the entire Ming Dynasty might not be able to afford it.

Ye Chunqiu could only tell himself: "Building to do his own thing well, these ills cannot be eliminated by himself. What he can do is just inject some fresh blood into this dynasty."

This is why Ye Chunqiu wanted to make a spiritual chicken soup that could kill people. Although it is poisonous, it can leave a great impression on those scholars and officials. At least... it will not make the new army students in Zhenguo fall into the ranks of others, and let the elites of this dynasty maintain their last respect for Ye Chunqiu, a very few warriors.

Zhu Houzhao seemed depressed. He found a location in Portugal on the map and said contemptuously: "Hmph, this is just a small country with a big booster, and he dares to show off his power."

Ye Chunqiu just smiled and looked like he was not commenting. He said goodbye from the palace. Just as he was about to leave the Meridian Gate, someone came to say, "Duke Zhenguo, Duke Liu asked Duke Zhenguo to go to the cabinet for a while."

As soon as he heard that Mr. Liu wanted to see him, it must be the same as the cabinet ministers. Ye Chunqiu did not dare to neglect and immediately set off.

After arriving in the cabinet, they still met in the teahouse. Ye Chunqiu really saw Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, father-in-law and Xie Qian were present. The four of them were smiling. Ye Chunqiu went forward and bowed respectfully.

Since Jiao Fang collapsed and Wang Hua entered the cabinet, the atmosphere in the entire cabinet was quite good. The four cabinet ministers were all old acquaintances, and Ye Chunqiu was quite good in their impression, so the four of them smiled at the polite Ye Chunqiu.

Liu Jian took the lead and said: "No need to be too polite. The Duke of Zhenguo has become a little more heroic. Haha, but he is taller."

Ye Chunqiu is almost seventeen years old, and he is still at the critical point of development at the age of seventeen. However, Ye Chunqiu is indeed not small in size and has improved his figure by 1.75 meters. In this era, such a height is outstanding, enough to instantly defeat countless young men of the same age.

Liu Jian took height as the entry point. In Ye Chunqiu's mind, it was obviously a pretending to be intimate. Ye Chunqiu smiled humbly.

Liu Jian looked at each other with several other cabinet ministers and then said, "What's the matter with the new army in Zhenguo?"

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but think that chicken soup is indeed effective.

This Taibai Collection has excellent sales. It is said that this episode sold 250,000 copies. Such a crazy circulating speed will inevitably cause a lot of controversy. However, Ye Chunqiu's chicken soup article must have won many people's favor for the Zhenguo New Army. Otherwise, how could Liu Jian suddenly come to express his concern for the Zhenguo New Army?

After all... the Chief Secretary is very busy, and there is no time to take care of you. But he is famous and won the praise of scholars all over the world.

The people here actually care about the "public opinion". However, this people are by no means ordinary people, but people with fame and fortune. These people with fame and fortune can influence the Qing Dynasty, and sometimes the cabinet ministers also need to look at the trend of the scholars.

Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said, "It's okay if you have any trouble Liu Gong is thinking about it."

Liu Jian stopped and smiled and nodded, "What's the difficulty? You can tell me that the new army of Zhenguo is from Zhenguo Mansion. In theory, the cabinet will not interfere, but after all, they are still people of our Ming Dynasty. I will not go beyond the kitchen for other matters, but if there is any inconvenience, I must ask about it."

The atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant, and Ye Chunqiu knew this routine: "The new army in the country was frightened, and they were so virtuous that they could not help but care about it."

"Haha...but..." Liu Jian paused here, but changed the subject: "I also heard something that said that the new army in Zhenguo would spend 400,000 taels of silver in a year, right?"

When Ye Chunqiu heard this, he knew what Liu Jian was going to say next.

Liu Jian continued with heartache: "It was not my turn to worry about this country's government, but it was too extravagant. The court raised millions of troops and horses, and the amount of money distributed was only this. Although the military households had their own fields, the court would occasionally give out some food, but I always couldn't sleep after hearing this."

I spent my money, Liu Gong, you can't sleep? Ye Chunqiu was a little speechless.

Xie Qian, who was standing beside him, also said, "Yes, whenever I think of this, I feel heartbroken."

Wang Hua didn't say anything, but like Li Dongyang, he shook his head.

Prodigal sons are definitely prodigal sons. In fact, it is understandable to think about it. These cabinet ministers are squeezing the expenses of the court every day, and sometimes even bothering about tens of thousands of taels of silver. More than 400,000 taels of silver, which is nearly 20% of the Ming Dynasty’s cash income, but they are all used as military expenses. How many people are given? It is now 600, and there may be more in the future, but it will never exceed 2,000.

Thinking of this, Liu Jian and others sighed. Even if the Duke Zhenguo’s money cannot be deposited, it cannot be entered into the treasury. However, in the court, it is hard to argue about a little money and grain every now and then. Ye Chunqiu is good. This is simply not using silver as money.

"Spring and Autumn, to be honest, isn't this money too much? In fact, according to my husband's opinion, 40,000 taels is enough. Don't worry, I didn't care about the thoughts of Zhenguo Mansion, but I just felt uncomfortable watching such a luxurious thing happen. After all, you are younger generations. We are experienced people. We always have to remind you a few words."

Xie Qian was a little excited at this time, and followed Liu Jian's words and continued: "What Mr. Liu said is very, 40,000 taels is a luxury, 400,000... Alas... I really feel terrible when I think about it."
