Chapter 286 Great Wei's National Power Is Terribly Strong
Chapter 286 The national power of Wei is terrifyingly strong
Then, Zhao Feng flipped through it casually and found the ninth-grade Zhongzheng volume.
Zhuge Liang looked at the scroll with expectant eyes. After just a moment, he could see his shock from Zhuge Liang's expression.
With an expression of great joy, he looked at Zhao Feng with a look of admiration.
"His Majesty is indeed born with the talent of an emperor. Kong Ming is so impressed by his ability to govern the country."
"Most of the original officials were recommended by the police, and the remaining ones were from famous families. However, the new system created by your Majesty completely suppresses the glitz and glamor of wealthy and famous families."
It is extremely difficult to completely reform official positions. Through the ages, Zhao Feng naturally knew that just the ninth-grade Zhongzheng system was enough to surprise Zhuge Liang.
Zhao Feng smiled lightly and said: "It's just that this ninth-grade Zhongzheng system is not perfect."
As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Liang was extremely shocked. He had never seen anyone like Zhao Feng before.
For example, he took out an extremely rare gem and said it was garbage.
"Then Your Majesty"
Zhao Feng nodded and continued: "Yes, I have a more complete system, but now is not the best time."
I saw that Zhao Feng was not stingy at all and took out another scroll from the side with the words "Three Provinces and Six Ministries" written on it.
At this time, Zhuge Liang was stunned on the spot and had nothing to say. It would take more energy and time to formulate a plan for the official position system.
But now Zhao Feng took out two sets at once.
He suppressed his beating heart, picked up the "Three Provinces and Six Ministries" and read it briefly.
Then, the pupils of both eyes shrank instantly.
They were completely different. The two sets of official positions had nothing in common. Zhuge Liang was extremely shocked.
His mood now cannot be described in terms of shock, nor can it be described in words.
Then he took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Feng and asked: "Since Your Majesty is not going to directly change the official position system, what are you planning to do?"
Zhao Feng showed a stern look in his eyes and said with a smile: "Put down the alien race!"
really!
It's another morning court, this is already the fourth morning court this month, and every time Zhao Feng proposes something extremely cunning, directly hitting the court's pain points.
For example, the official system was completely reformed and the nine-level Zhongzheng system was established. For example, the thirteen states in the world became the land of nine states.
The officials below have long been accustomed to it, and there are even special personnel to record Zhao Feng's court meetings.
In less than half a month, the government has already shown improvement and made huge changes.
Zhao Feng looked at everyone. Under his instruction, Zhuge Liang already knew what to do.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhuge Liang stood up straight and said: "Your Majesty, I have a script to start."
Zhao Feng said calmly: "Kong Ming, please speak."
Zhuge Liang immediately looked to the north and said: "Since ancient times, the foreign tribes at the border have repeatedly invaded our land of Jiuzhou. Now that the Wei Dynasty has risen, these foreign tribes have no peace at all."
"How can we not do something? This is simply an insult to the prestige of the Wei Kingdom!"
At this point, Zhuge Liang looked at Zhao Feng and bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we send troops to crush the foreign tribes to show the power of the Wei Kingdom. How can we let these foreign tribes touch the land of Jiuzhou!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Is this going to send troops to attack foreigners?
Some Confucian scholars who were stuck in their ways stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Wei Dynasty is now in a stable stage. It should develop its internal affairs and wait until the soldiers and food are abundant before considering sending troops."
Then as soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Liang turned around and said calmly: "It's nonsense, it's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
Zhuge Liang looked at that man's eyes with sharp eyes, and the other eager advisers also said lightly: "Since you mentioned food and grass, then I will ask you."
"Do you know how much grain reserves the Wei Dynasty has? How much capital reserves there are? Or do you know how many reserve troops our Wei Dynasty really has?"
"Did you know!"
As soon as he said this, the man showed a trace of hesitation, "This"
Although he was a court official, he seemed completely unaware of the current national power of the Wei Dynasty. Looking at Zhuge Liang standing in the center, he was speechless.
Zhuge Liang smiled again.
"Or how much do you know about current border affairs?"
"The Xianbei tribe repeatedly invaded the territory of the Wei Dynasty while the soldiers of the Wei Dynasty were recovering the territory. How much do you know?"
"Do you know how much General Gongsun has contributed to our great Wei Dynasty!"
As he finished speaking, some officials who had not even left Xuchang showed embarrassment on their faces. They had no idea what Zhuge Liang said.
Looking at the speechless people below, Zhao Feng smiled. Sure enough, Zhuge Liang's sharp tongue was no joke, and he immediately left everyone speechless.
Zhuge Liang looked around and said again: "Ignorance, ignorance, now Wei's national power can mobilize troops to attack anywhere!"
Seeing that the officials behind him became quiet, Zhuge Liang smiled secretly, looked at Zhao Feng above and said, "Your Majesty, can you?"
All this was designed by Zhao Feng. He naturally understood and said calmly: "Zhicai, tell me about our current military rations."
Seeing Xi Zhi below, he bowed and said calmly: "Now our army is storing grain."
Everyone showed curiosity and looked towards Xi Zhicai.
They were all curious about how much grain they would have in reserve after being exempted from taxes for three years before they could make such a decision.
Just listen to Xi Zhicai say: "Our army has tens of millions of dan in grain reserves!"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials present took a deep breath.
"hiss"
Many of them were veterans from the Han Ling Emperor's time, and all of them looked shocked at this moment. Even if the Han Dynasty had the highest morale, their total food supply for a year was only about one million dan.
What Xi Zhicai said was grain storage, even tens of millions, which made them think endlessly. How terrifying this was. Just hearing this number made people feel numb.
Zhao Feng also showed a confident smile. The yield of sweet potatoes is no joke.
The yield per mu is hundreds of kilograms. In addition, all kinds of industries are waiting to be developed. With the promotion of the farming system, countless people are participating in farming.
The granary is full every year, and the granary is being expanded every year.
Food is the least need to worry about, and because the food and clothing of people across the country have been met, the population is also growing by leaps and bounds.
After Xi Zhicai saw everyone's reaction, he continued: "The number of soldiers recruited now is about 700,000, all wearing excellent armor."
"If necessary, more than 500,000 soldiers can be summoned from all over the country to form an army."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was even more shocked.
Based on such a detailed calculation, the current military strength of the Nine Provinces of Wei Dynasty may have exceeded one million. With such terrifying strength, why can't they send troops?
