At the end of April, there was a major event in the imperial court.

Today's imperial frontier is quite stable, although there are occasional conflicts with neighboring countries, but both sides are quite restrained and controlled within a small range.

And there were no large-scale conflicts.

There are tens of thousands of border troops stationed in the frontier, and with these people guarding it, the court can be as stable as Mount Tai, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

It's just that the grain, grass and silver of tens of thousands of border troops every year is a huge expense.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the grain and grass of the army here must be transferred from the land of rich fish and rice to the border pass with the strength of the whole country.

Where there are waterways, it is fine, but where there are no waterways, you have to rely on mules and horses for transportation.

Especially near the border passes, there is a drought, and most of the living materials have to be transported by mules and horses.

Therefore, more than 200 miles near the border pass, there is a Chicheng County, because the county seat is hilly on three sides, and there is not much land that can grow grain.

It is suitable for raising horses, and the imperial court has two horse farms in Chicheng County, which are specially stocked for mules and horses that transport military rations.

Mules and horses have heavy loads and strong endurance, although they are not as handsome as horses, but they also have their own uniqueness.

With these mules and horses, the grain and grass can be continuously transported to the hands of the border army every year.

But early this morning, Chicheng County went to the fold, saying that there was a problem with this year's horse farm for raising mules and horses, and the number of newborn mules and horses was seriously insufficient.

If this continues, the old mules and horses will be eliminated, and the newborn mules and horses will not be able to keep up with the number of eliminated, and I am afraid that in the next few years, there will be no mules and horses to transport military rations and materials.

Don't look at it as just a small mule and horse birth rate, but the problem derived from this is a big one.

If there is a shortage of mules and horses, the military rations cannot be delivered in time, and the border army does not have enough food and materials, how can they hold the frontier?

If the morale of the army is shaken, if this enemy country takes advantage of the situation and is afraid that a big war is imminent, it will not be a small problem.

Therefore, when they got this news, from the emperor onwards, the military department and the household department attached great importance to it.

In the court, this has been debated for a long time.

It was divided into several factions, some said that they would pursue the responsibility of the county order of Chicheng County, some said that the top priority was to go to other places to collect a sufficient number of mules and horses, some said that they would go to neighboring countries to buy them, and some said that they wanted to find out why the birth rate of mules and horses was insufficient. Did someone poison it? Or is it something else?

For a while, the entire center of the imperial court was breaking their hearts and wearing out their mouths for mules and horses every day.

Song Chongjin knew that it was coming from the moment he knew the news!

These people from the Hanlin Academy, the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, naturally all know about it.

Although they have just joined the company, it is not their turn to worry, but after all, it is a matter of national security, and everyone is concerned.

When there was nothing to do, everyone also got together, and when it came to the problem of mules and horses in Chicheng County, they expressed their opinions, and they also fought for a red face and a thick neck, and there was no half of the past.

Song Chongjin was also dragged there every day, but he listened to a lot of opinions, including the opinions of people of insight or wild imagination.

He memorized them all in his heart, and when he went back, he carefully transcribed them and prepared them.

For several days in a row, the DPRK and China were almost arguing over the issue of Akagi.

The emperor just held a court meeting and asked the civil and military officials, they have been arguing for so long, but what kind of regulations have been arguing?

In this court meeting, even Song Chongjin and their seven or eight-grade officials went to the court, and in the huge hall, all the ministers were in the palace.

These low-grade ones can only stand by the door, and the emperor above can't hear clearly, let alone see people clearly.

Song Chongjin is better, after all, his ears are amazing, and he can still hear what the emperor says.

As soon as the emperor said this, there was silence in the hall for a while.

Then he was listed as a minister, rolled up his sleeves one by one, quarreled again, and barely reached a reunification, whether it was to first transfer mules and horses from all over the country to temporarily alleviate the urgency of transporting military rations, or to go to neighboring countries to buy mules and horses, that is a later story.

The Akagi Prefectural Decree must be held accountable, and an edict has been issued to the church to hold the capital accountable.

The question now is who will take over the post of Akagi Prefecture Commander, find out the problem of the declining birth rate of mules and horses, and slowly increase the number of mules and horses.

As soon as this conclusion came out, the entire hall was cold again.

Everyone knows that the position of the Chicheng County Commander is a hot potato, and whoever takes it will smash it.

Even if you take it by virtue of being alone, who knows how to breed mules and horses? If two or three years later, this mule and horse are still insufficient, the fate of the current Akagi Prefectural Commander is an example.

No one is stupid, jumping out at this time, that is self-defeating!

For a while, civil and military officials, you look at me, I look at you, they all want to pick out a substitute ghost from the other camp.

At this moment, I saw a person come out of the crowd and stepped forward to play: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a suggestion." Lao Chen remembered that this Chicheng was the place where Wei Guogong was stationed, and he should know a lot about Chicheng. Wei Guogong has been in the frontier for many years, and he also had cavalry under his command at the beginning, and he also has his own unique means of raising horses. Now there are successors of Wei Guogong, the son of Wei Guogong is young and promising, the tiger father has no dogs, he grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he should be no stranger to raising livestock and horses. ”

"Thinking about it, it is the most suitable for the prince of Weiguo to go! One has the feelings left by Wei Guogong back then, and the locals must be more acceptable. Second, the prince of Weiguo is young and bold, and the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, so such a thing should be exercised by young people......"

The one who said this was Qi Guogong.

Song Hong's face changed, and he stared at Qi Guogong's eyes and couldn't wait to eat him!

Bastard! Actually yin him at this time!

Outrageous! He is a dignified son of the country, but he is also a descendant of the current department, Hanlin reviewed, in his mouth, he actually had to be released to manage livestock and raise mules and horses?

If this happens, where will he put his face as a defender?

Immediately stood up to stop it: "Your Majesty! Never! It's not that Weichen is obstructed, but the dog is young and has never seen the world, how can such a heavy task be entrusted to a yellow-mouthed child like him? This is about the grain and grass of tens of thousands of troops on the frontier, is it child's play? Although the right dog grew up in the countryside, he also read the books of the sages wholeheartedly, where did he know about raising mules and horses? If he really went, he would not only delay the military affairs, but also live up to His Majesty's expectations! Is it not a sin that deserves death? ”

"I also implore Your Majesty to appoint someone who is in charge of the matter to take charge of this matter!"

As soon as the words fell, someone said: "Wei Chen thinks that Qi Guogong is reasonable!" Although the prince of Weiguo does not know about raising mules and horses, if he really lets the prince of Weiguo go, he naturally does not need to understand this! Doesn't he just need to allocate manpower and let people who know how to raise mules and horses? ”

"The identity of the prince of Weiguo, only when he goes to Chicheng can he take over smoothly without twists and turns. Wei Guogong, if the prince of Wei Guo can help the court solve this problem, it will be a great achievement! Wei Guogong can't forget his public because he feels sorry for the world! ”

The person who spoke was no stranger, it was General Ruan, the father of the Ruan family.
