Chapter 119: Entering the court for the first time 6
An old official from the Three Dynasties said: "Your Majesty, there is a famine in the area of ​​Jiangcheng again. Please Your Majesty allocate funds to relieve the disaster."

An old general immediately objected: "I think that now is not the best time for disaster relief. Jiangcheng has a large population and the cost is huge. The current treasury is not sufficient. In addition, the Nanxiao country is attacking with troops, and it is time to need military expenses."

Bei Yeling didn't say anything for a long time, glanced at the people in His Highness, and finally fixed his gaze on the calm man in black, "What's Mo Aiqing's opinion?"

The eyes of all the ministers fell on Mo Yang, and they even wore the same color robe as His Majesty.

If Bei Yeling is the king of the world, then the people in front of him will look down on the world; if Bei Yeling's majesty makes people tremble, then his indifference makes people tremble.

Mo Yang sneered in his heart, wanting her to be the target of public criticism, he gave her a high official position yesterday, and suppressed her severely today, "I think there is no need for disaster relief, as long as some people move out of Jiangcheng, or some people die, the situation will naturally improve , Disaster relief is only a temporary solution, not a cure.”

His voice was cold like his own, but the content of his words shocked everyone, including Bei Yeling.

After a long while, the old minister who proposed the disaster relief just now finally came to his senses, and said excitedly and angrily, "Master Mo, as an imperial doctor, is so heartless that he puts our people's lives at risk!"

Mo Yang said again: "Jiangcheng is located in a barren and densely populated place. Almost every year there is famine in winter and spring, and plague in summer. Not only did the tribute not be paid, but the court also had to provide disaster relief. But as long as the population decreases, the food needed will decrease. The cultivated land will increase, and the chance of plague in summer will also decrease.”

The ministers relaxed their frowns a little after hearing this.

Just now the old minister said again: "But you can't just give up a life, it is a citizen of our country."

Mo Yang thought to himself, this person is patriotic, but stupid and loyal, and he is still an old antique, "You can recruit young men and women in Jiangcheng to join the army, and then issue conscription subsidies, which can not only solve the living problems of the old and young in Jiangcheng, but also recruit new soldiers."

"Women can also serve as soldiers?" Some ministers disdain.

"Even if a woman can't kill the enemy, she can at least cook and bandage wounds."

"Just follow Mo Aiqing's instructions, what else is there to tell?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Nanxiao Kingdom has captured two cities in our country, please send troops to support it quickly."

"Bei Yeying, Chi Yi, and Mo Yang obey orders. Feng Bei Yeying is the commander, Chi Yi is the deputy commander, and Mo Yang is the military doctor. They will lead an army of [-] and go to the border in two days to retake the city."
