"Your Majesty, I think this matter is slightly inappropriate. The Ministry of Punishment certainly needs help. As far as I know, most eunuchs are illiterate."

"Such cooperation may be counterproductive."

"Secondly, wouldn't it be a joke if we let these eunuchs help? No dynasty in the world would use eunuchs. Although the Wei Dynasty is a bit weak now, not all scholars are dead."

"If the Ministry of Punishment really does not have enough people, we can select a group from among the scholars."

Yang Ning opened his mouth and asked the eunuch to take charge. Isn't this a joke? Especially when so many important departments are all interfered with by eunuchs, who would want to do that?

What Yang Ning said was not just for himself, but also for officials in the DPRK and China. However, the two parties are now competing to change rice into mulberry, so they are silent.

However, the officials were silent, but they were deeply shocked in their hearts. Under such a struggle between the two parties, the empress found every opportunity to cultivate a force of her own.

This is really smart.

To be honest, this kind of method is definitely not something that a new emperor can do. There must be someone behind it, and they can't think of who the instigator is.

But Liu Yanming, Yang Ning, Li Jie and others quickly knew who it was.

Yao Guangyun is known as a genius in the world.

He was the only one who understood the struggle in court, and this is how imperial power slowly emerged.

It's a pity that Jiang Ling is still too young. She shouldn't bring up this matter at this time. A more mature emperor would have brought up this matter when the two princes actually entered the scene.

Because this is called exchange.

It is equivalent to the prince who has benefited from giving up part of the benefits so that the empress can get her benefits, and the prince also gets his own benefits, so that things can be handled smoothly.

If you want to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits, you need absolute strength, which Jiang Ling obviously does not have.

Faced with Yang Ning's words, Jiang Ling seemed to be well prepared on the throne. Xu Shouyun had said before that after raising this matter, he would use the goals of the three parties to play the game.

She clearly knew that if she wanted to handle this matter smoothly, she could just wait a little longer. After King Qin and King Yan were completely involved in the situation, she would come out and make an equal exchange.

But she didn't do this. The deal with King Qin and King Yan was not to establish the East Factory, but for the key thing Xu Shouyun said.

Food!

This is the most critical thing. Whether the conversion of rice into mulberry can be successfully completed, aside from the struggle, the biggest core point is food.

As long as there is sufficient food, even if rice is forcibly converted into mulberry, then this is a good thing.

When the mulberry fields are planted, as long as the people have enough food and earn money, they will start rolling, like a snowball, rolling little by little into a huge snowball.

This is the ultimate goal.

If there is a shortage of food at a critical moment, even if the conversion of rice to mulberry is successful, what will happen if the people have a large amount of mulberry leaves on hand and produce a large amount of silk?

Selling grain for dozens of taels of silver and one stone is not enough to make someone else's wedding dress, and it is more likely to lead to civil unrest.

You don’t have to wear clothes, you don’t have to make money, but keeping the people hungry is the top priority in the world.

After thinking about this clearly, Jiang Ling's voice immediately sounded.

"What Aiqing said is absolutely true."

"If this is the case, and Aiqing has such an opinion, who does Aiqing think is most appropriate to entrust this site selection right to?"

Yang Ning was stunned when the Empress of Wei said this.

The topic I am discussing is the matter of eunuchs exercising power. Why are you talking to me about site selection rights?

Who doesn’t know that this is a hot potato? I just want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, waiting to see Liu Dang’s misfortune. If you asked me before, I would definitely choose Li Dang.

Now that the two princes are on stage, you want me to step in and cause trouble? Are you sick or am I sick?

Yang Ning was silent.

Yang Ning was Liu Yanming's enemy before, but with the addition of Li Dang, he became a neutral faction and could stand by and watch the two families fight.

Because no matter who is fighting, he can make Liu Yanming unlucky, so he can achieve his goal without any effort, which is called winning in a political struggle.

Now that King Qin and King Yan are coming forward, King Ning will stop talking. This guy is a bit weird in his own right. It is impossible to expect him to actually enter the scene.

But even so, Yang Ning didn't want to offend King Qin and King Yan. If he really did, even if Liu Yanming fell, it wouldn't be his turn.

It’s not that the superiors don’t allow everyone to fight among themselves, but they must fight within the rules and not harm the superiors. This is the meaning of struggle.

If you are involved, no matter what your purpose is, then you deserve to die.

For a moment, Yang Ning shook his head: "Your Majesty, it is difficult for me to make a decision on this matter, so it is up to Your Majesty to decide."

Let alone deciding on the right to choose the site, in the whole world, only the Empress of Wei is the most suitable. She is the emperor and bears the consequences and responsibilities of everything.

In addition, the emperor himself is a separate force, whether it is the King of Qin or the King of Yan, civil servants and military generals, in a sense, everyone is in a hostile relationship.

As the environment changes, it can be a friend or an enemy. If anyone takes the initiative to help Jiang Ling choose, then this person is not far from death.

“It’s hard for you to decide on such a big matter of location right.”

"If I set up Dongchang, Aiqing will be able to explain the principles in a clear and logical manner."

"It's really ridiculous."

The empress's voice was a little cold. Yang Ning lowered her head instantly and bowed to Jiang Ling: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am just giving some opinions."

For a moment, Yang Ning became a little depressed. He didn't want to stand up and speak just now. If it wasn't for his own interests, he would never have come out. It's all Liu Yanming's fault.

"No one in the civil or military circles of the dynasty had any opinions. Only Yang Aiqing had such opinions. This proves that Yang Aiqing is talented and a pillar of the country."

"Since the East Factory is not going to be built and you gave so many reasons, the right to choose the site will be left to you, so as to avoid quarreling all day in the court and delaying other state affairs."

The empress immediately started acting rogue.

Either you join in and become the target of public criticism, or you just shut up, choose one of the two, and stop talking.

As soon as this move came out, Yang Ning's face suddenly turned ugly.

All of a sudden, all the civil and military officials in the court became quiet.

Liu Yanming really wanted to say something, but he knew clearly that now the empress was using rice as a bargaining chip. If he objected, the matter would be even more troublesome.

As for Li Jie and other officials, all of them had indifferent expressions. Li Jie might still be hesitant, but the officials under Li Jie were happy to hear it.

They are neutral factions, they are the third party in the court, their presence is not very high, and neither of them holds much power.

So they don't care about this kind of thing at all.

Since it has not directly harmed their interests, he naturally does not care. Liu Yanming is even sure that he or his people will seriously stand up and say something.

This group of people will immediately jump out to criticize. Not only will they criticize, they will also support the establishment of Dongchang.

This is called being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Awesome.

Liu Yanming really didn't expect why the empress had such a method, she simply kept everyone under control.

There is no way out.
