The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 373 Both children and children
However, the result of their final discussion is that granaries are only set up in a few important cities, because the country has not yet been unified, and it is impossible to set up granaries in every prefecture.

In fact, the most important thing is that Song Dynasty is far from being so rich, and far from being able to prepare and build so many granaries. Now it is only building a few that may be used most urgently in the future.

The four of them talked very late and all of them left separately. Zhao Xu did not return to his East Palace immediately, but went with Miao Xun, Zhao Pu and the others to meet Cao Bin, the new minister of the Ministry of War.

Cao Bin was also his confidant, and he was even more loyal to the imperial court. Zhao Kuangyin used him at ease because he took a fancy to him.

"How about Cao Bin, can this Minister of the Ministry of War still adapt? Do you feel very uncomfortable?" Cao Bin used to lead troops to fight, but now he is in high-level management.

Naturally, there is a stage of incompatibility. It is estimated that relying on his ability, he can definitely adapt to this position in a short time.

"Prince, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Miao, you are here, come and sit, I will serve you some good tea." Cao Bin saw that there are so many big men here, and his military department is really flourishing, can he not are you happy?
"Hey, being a minister is really tiring. When I was a general, I always felt that the Ministry of War was too easy. I didn't expect this job to be too tiring. Is it not as fun as fighting?"

"Cao Shangshu is not allowed to talk nonsense, this is the emperor's kindness to you, how can you say that?" Zhao Pu is also Cao Bin's current boss.

Seeing that his subordinates are so ignorant of "promotion", he couldn't help scolding him, saying that he is still not happy, as many people think that they will not be able to get this position.

Now Cao Bin is still complaining here that being a minister of the Ministry of War is not as good as being a general who led the army before?
I don't know if he said something sarcastic or if he responded to that sentence, he doesn't know how to cherish what he gets, and he will always be in turmoil if he doesn't get it.

"Prime Minister Zhao, I know what you want to say, but what I said is true. I am grateful for the emperor's grace, but I just can't adapt."

Cao Bin, who was called a Confucian general by later generations, should be a person who knows more about etiquette in Zhao Xu's opinion.

I didn't expect to talk quickly here, and I didn't care about it at all. If I said these things in front of other people, I would have been reported to Zhao Kuangyin a long time ago.

Fortunately, these people don't know how to do it, or they don't bother to do such a thing. This is Cao Bin's good luck.

"Cao Shangshu, you let the truth tell you what's good about you. Others can't get such an opportunity. Now you actually say that, but if you let other colleagues find out, what will they think of you?"

"The truth is that you should do your job well and repay the emperor's kindness."

When Cao Bin heard this, it was obvious that his boss was encouraging him:

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your teaching. Although I am not talented, I will not underestimate myself. I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."

"Okay, don't talk about anything else, Cao Bin, it's normal for you to be uncomfortable when you just became Minister of the Ministry of War, but don't use the saying that you are a layman to make excuses for yourself. Get acquainted as soon as possible."

"I'm here to tell you the result of the discussion between the emperor and us today, and let your military department send a document to the local government to explain this military reform."

Then Zhao Xu talked about sending the imperial army to the place, which was also the result of discussing with the emperor.

"Enen, this is a good decision. In this way, our army will be more obedient to the central government, and its combat effectiveness will also increase. But should the prince say hello to the Privy Council?"

Cao Bin has quickly integrated into the role of Minister of the Ministry of War, at least he still knows to say hello to the Privy Council.

He also knew that the Privy Council and his Ministry of War were connected with each other, and even more restricted by each other. Perhaps Cao Bin said this to show that he did not mean to act arbitrarily.

"There is no need for this. The Privy Council only has the power to deploy troops. They have no power to intervene in these matters. Besides, the father has given me full responsibility for military affairs. If something happens, I will take care of it for you. You can do it boldly."

Zhao Kuangyin said that Zhao Xu was fully in charge of military matters, which meant that as long as it was about the military, he could make the decisions himself.

These people in the Privy Council didn't necessarily know anything about military affairs. Now Zhao Xu had an idea, which was to turn the Privy Council into a staff organization.

Didn't those people like Shi Shouxin lose their military power? They were given the position of vain Jiedushi, and they still received the imperial salary.

If this is the case, it would be better to let them go to the Privy Council as an honorary staff officer to formulate a battle plan or something, which is also good.

But now he has no chance to implement this idea. The most important thing now is to firmly control the troops in various places in the hands of the court.

Zhao Xu then arranged a few words for Cao Bin and left in a hurry. Zhao Pu and Miao Xun did not leave, and they needed to explain some things to Cao Bin face to face.

Zhao Xu left so quickly because a little eunuch from the East Palace came to look for him, and it was Wang Linger who was in a hurry to give birth.

Although he is already the father of two children, by the way, he is also very nervous about the upcoming child.

Now that he heard that another child of his was about to be born, he ran back in a hurry, without any demeanor as a prince.

But he was still one step too late, when he returned to the East Palace, the child had already been born, and all the important people in the harem were here.

The queen was naturally here, and when she saw Zhao Xu came back, she immediately scolded him, saying how could he come back so late.

Zhao Xu just kept bowing his head to admit his mistake, and he couldn't say anything. When he entered the room, Gao Guiying and Fu Xuetong were there.

Both of them held their children beside Wang Linger and said:
"Look baby, this is your younger sister, called younger sister!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu already knew that Wang Ling'er had given birth to a daughter, but he didn't care about it and walked over quickly.

"Haha, it's actually a daughter. I finally have a daughter. Linger, you are amazing. I finally have a daughter."

Seeing that there was no smile on Wang Linger's face, Zhao Xu looked directly at his daughter and said excitedly.

Sure enough, Wang Ling'er, who was still full of sorrow just now, lit up when she heard this;
"You mean you like your daughter, you didn't lie to me?"

"Of course I've always wanted a daughter, and now it's finally come true. By the way, our little princess is so quiet. Let her name be Zhao Jing."

In fact, Zhao Xu said this to comfort Wang Linger, but he really liked his daughter very much.

I already have two sons, and now I have a daughter. I finally have both sons and daughters. At the age of 20, I have both sons and daughters. Can you be unhappy?

　I finally have both sons and daughters, everyone hurry up and vote, don't know if the chapter from last night is now displayed?
