The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1113

Chapter 1113: Chapter 936, Dai Sun Receives Gifts

Prince Ping eagerly said to the ministers present after receiving the emperor’s bestowed name for his grandson, "My legitimate grandson’s full-month celebration will be held at the Prince Residence. Everyone must attend."

The emperor was somewhat speechless, "Your grandson is still in Xiliang."

Prince Ping solemnly said, "Although the child is not here, it doesn’t delay the full-month celebration. Brother emperor, Yeyang’s son is also your grandson, don’t forget to send a gift on the celebration day. Alright, I won’t hold you up from discussing official matters."

After saying that, he swiftly left the Council Hall.

The news came a bit late, and his grandson’s full-month celebration was just a few days away. He needed to quickly invite various princes and ministers.

After receiving gifts from everyone, they would be sent together to Xiliang for his grandson.

Watching Prince Ping leave in a hurry, the emperor smiled and shook his head.

The ministers present were somewhat envious; Prince Ping really enjoyed royal favor. Among the Imperial Clan, princes, and ministers, only he dared to be so unrestrained in front of the emperor.

Not long after Prince Ping left, several ministers also left the Council Hall.

As soon as they came out, they started discussing Prince Ping.

The Minister of Revenue sighed, "Our prince is indeed fortunate. With the emperor covering him from above, and a competent son below, he doesn’t need to worry about anything. In Beijing, there are few who can live as comfortably as him."

Thinking about the stacks of demands for grain and silver on his desk, the Minister of Revenue couldn’t help but feel a headache.

Fortunately, he had Yan Zhigao under him, which allowed him to successfully levy high-yield crops from the Yan Family.

Just now, the emperor mentioned that the Crown Princess in Xiliang had developed high-yield, drought-resistant, and cold-resistant cotton and corn seeds. After returning to the Ministry of Revenue, he needed to find a way to get some from Yan Zhigao.

The Minister of War agreed, "Exactly, when Xiao Yeyang was demoted to Xiliang, almost no one was optimistic about him. Yet, he managed to establish a firm foothold there."

"Capturing Dan River, establishing military towns and horse farms, his rank rose a level in less than two years. Now, he’s also leading the Xiliang Border Army against Xiliao. If he wins this battle, I believe the Princely Heir will be promoted again."

The Minister of Revenue sighed, "Having a good status really makes a difference. If we went to Xiliang, we definitely couldn’t establish ourselves as easily as the Princely Heir."

Hearing this, the Minister of Personnel spoke up, "Xiao Yeyang’s ability to establish himself in Xiliang is not just because of his status. The situation in Xiliang is not as simple as you think."

"Not to mention winning over the border army, take the Wei Family who has been operating in Xiliang for generations; they wouldn’t just sit by and watch Xiao Yeyang grow and strengthen."

"Moreover, Xiliang is barren, and it’s not easy to sustain hundreds of thousands of border troops."

"As far as I know, a substantial portion of the expenses for the construction of military towns came from Xiao Yeyang himself."

The Minister of Works then spoke, "Xiao Yeyang has money. Don’t forget, the first Glass Factory in Daxia was built by him, and he has made no small amount of silver over the years."

The Minister of Revenue continued sarcastically, "Crown Princess also controls high-yield grains. Last autumn, I personally saw during my inspection in the Beijing Suburbs that the crops in the fields owned by the Princely Heir and Crown Princess grew the best."

"I initially wanted to levy those, but they planned to transport all to Xiliang."

The Minister of Personnel added, "Yes, having silver and food, although we all have these, who among us dares to spend them on building Xiliang like Xiao Yeyang?"

At this, the ministers fell silent.

They had their own clans to consider; indeed, none had the audacity of Xiao Yeyang, nor were they willing to sacrifice as much.

The Minister of War continued, "Currently, the war between the Xiliang Border Army and Xiliao is still at a stalemate, it’s uncertain what the outcome will be."

The others were somewhat silent.

As people of Daxia, they naturally hoped for the Xiliang Border Army to win, but whether it was food or military supplies, the Imperial Court couldn’t support Xiliang.

They had just been discussing the matter of military provisions with the emperor.

Currently, Daxia wasn’t only facing conflict in Xiliang. The Navy in the East Sea and South Sea had been fighting against pirates for nearly a year.

It’s likely that the Xiliao people chose this time to launch their campaign because they knew about this, aiming to take advantage of Daxia being preoccupied, to seize Xiliang.

At this moment, the ministers suddenly felt somewhat relieved.
