As for those reports and the discussions among court officials, Sun Kejian didn't care at all.
Because he knew what he was doing, and he had a bad reputation since he was a child.
So I just choose to ignore it.
As long as the border trade is done well, I believe everyone will have nothing to say.
In this regard, Song Gongwen naturally chose to agree. After all, what Sun Kejian said was very reasonable.
The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the country's money and grain. If outsiders knew that there was no silver, who knows what kind of trouble would happen.
"So that's how it is." Zhang Zhengming nodded.
In fact, at the beginning, he didn't have a very good impression of Sun Kejian.
First of all, the other party is from the Sun family, and is also a merchant family. Knowing his character, I don’t understand why Your Majesty appointed him as the Minister of Revenue.
But later, after hearing Song Gongwen say that the other party was able to agree on the two ideas of border trade and maritime trade.
I immediately understood that this man was a man of great talent, even though he might not have any talent in governing a country.
But when it comes to economics, he has different ideas.
So he was against Sun Kejian.
The impression also began to change.
Because governing a country requires many conditions.
Whether it is politics, military or economy, it is indispensable.
His student Song Gongwen had the talent for reform and innovation, while Sun Kejian was able to find ways to improve the court's economy and treasury revenue.
As for the military, although Marquis Shenwu is old, he is still strong and vigorous. Today's Wei Dynasty can be said to be full of talented people.
He could already foresee that in the hands of these people, the power of the Great Wei would surely flourish!
As an old minister who wholeheartedly serves the country and the people.
Wouldn’t it be gratifying to see this scene?
"Your Majesty, you really have a keen eye for talent." At this moment, Zhang Zhengming couldn't help but sigh.
"That's right." Song Gongwen immediately laughed and said, "Sun Kejian, you may have lost money in the family business, but if you were placed in the court, you would be able to fully display your talents. Just like when I was a student, I was not good at judging cases, but Your Majesty, despite the opposition, promoted me to this position. Otherwise, I would not have been able to realize my dream of serving the country."
After saying this, he and Zhang Zhengming looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.
As the saying goes, there are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers.
Even if a person has talent.
But if there is no opportunity to show yourself, then you are just like an ordinary person.
What's important is that someone discovered his talent and gave him the opportunity to show it.
In the eyes of both teacher and student, Your Majesty is such a mentor.
In the eyes of others, Sun Kejian is a person who can't even manage the family business. How can such a person be suitable to be an official?
But His Majesty happened to see his uniqueness and promoted him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
This is something no one understands.
But that's why.
This makes your Majesty's unique vision more realistic.
Song Gongwen felt the deepest about this, because he was discovered in this way.
But soon, his eyes changed slightly at this moment, and he couldn't help but sigh, as if he was worried about something.
But Zhang Zhengming, as smart as he was, saw it at a glance and immediately said with a smile: "Gongwen, are you worried about your son?"
Before the capital was in turmoil because of the Sun Kejian incident.
The most discussed.
It is about Song Hongzhi's appointment as the commander of Liaozhen.
A young man from a scholarly family, a dandy boy at that, was not fit to be a general. Yet, Your Majesty did just that, and even handed over the battle with Gaoyang State to them.
If there were no generals in the court who could stand on their own, perhaps it could be explained.
But the problem is that the Wei army is full of powerful generals.
It's easy to pick out a general.
Nothing else to say.
Take the former General Zhenbei, son of Marquis Shenwu, Zhao Jiguang, for example.
Although Gaoyang Kingdom has suffered some losses in fighting against the grassland tribes over the years, it is still far inferior to the grassland tribes.
If he were to be appointed commander, he would surely be able to achieve victory even if the number of his troops was smaller than that of the local forces.
So everyone was very confused at that time.
But now the matter is done.
There's no point in saying anything more.
But as a father, Song Gongwen couldn't help but keep thinking about this matter.
After all, a war could break out there at any time and anywhere, and his son had only been in the Royal Guard for a period of time, and other than that, he had no military experience at all.
In this situation, once a war really breaks out, even if the opponent is proficient in martial arts, how much power can one person have?
"Actually..." Zhang Zhengming thought for a moment and said immediately, "I don't think you need to worry about this, Gongwen."
"Besides that, Hongzhi has a group of capable lieutenants who will ensure his safety."
"Even if a war really breaks out between the two countries, does Gaoyang really dare to become an enemy of Wei?"
He chuckled softly and continued, "Besides, how can you believe that your son truly has no military talent at all? You yourself said that Your Majesty has a discerning eye and can spot strengths that others fail to see."
"Perhaps Hongzhi can truly win this battle and achieve a unique outcome?"
Although Zhang Zhengming was a little skeptical at first.
But he always felt that there must be a deep meaning behind His Majesty's arrangement.
After all, the war between the imperial court and Gaoyang State concerns the dignity of the Great Wei and cannot be underestimated.
