When Leng met Mai Qinghua, the two of them had some interactions in the past, but not much, Leng mainly interacted with his mentor.

Mai Qinghua has two mentors, one of whom was once driven out by Princess Anda, and then he became the teacher of the great sage Mr. Shanju. Mr. Shanju is the best friend of the Leng Master. The two always gather together to talk about the current situation in the world.

Mr. Shanju took Mai Qinghua to meet Leng's assistant. He originally wanted to recommend it to the assistant, but this kid had no intention of imperial examinations and civil servants. He was devoted to practicing martial arts and wanted to march to experience it.

With his family background, how easy is it to join the army?

If he really goes, Princess An Da’s temper will go to the army to make a fuss, who can bear it?

Hearing Mai Qinghua asked for help to protect the media so directly, Leng Jung waved his hand, "No, I am not interested in these matters of aunts and sisters, but from what I know, one of them is particularly interested and is ready to take action. If this person takes action, you will definitely succeed."

When Mai Qinghua heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Who is it?

Can you ask the chief assistant to recommend it?”

Leng Shoufu smiled, "It's not impossible to recommend it, but this person has a strange temper. He said that he only matches those who are willing to serve the court. You, you have no intention of officialdom and have no intention of loyalty to the country. I'm afraid he is unwilling to help."

Mai Qinghua said: "No, I also want to serve the court. I know that the court will hold the top martial arts scholar exam at the end of this year, and I plan to take the top martial arts scholar exam."

"Why do you have to take the general's route?

You know that the value of martial arts top scholar and literary top scholar is not the same as the same thing."

Mai Qinghua said: "Since the imperial court opened a vocational examination and won the military, many scholars have been squeezing forward. The court has not short of scholars, but in contrast, military generals have shown signs of being incompetent in recent years. I know that if I can get the top scorer, I will have a future. However, I have practiced martial arts over the years, read military tactics, and have also studied weapons a little. If I join the army, I may be able to contribute to the current situation of military generals being incompetent in the past few years. Moreover, I have increased my military pay three times in succession in recent years, which is to encourage more people to join the army and build a solid defense line for our Northern Tang Dynasty."

When Leng heard this, he was quite surprised, but he said leisurely: "Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and there is no disturbance outside. Some officials even proposed to dismiss 200,000 troops, and the emperor also allowed to discuss this matter. How can we see that the emperor hopes more people will join the army?

You should know that with more troops, the court's spending on military supplies will increase significantly every year. If idle soldiers spend money, why can't the court calculate this?

Wouldn’t it be better to spend money on raising soldiers to build roads, bridges and improve people’s livelihood?”

Mai Qinghua shook his head and said calmly: "I can't agree with the words of the Chief Minister. Now it seems that the world is peaceful, but ambitious countries and tribes are still eyeing us. I believe that this is the case today, so that we will continue to increase military pay and improve the status of military generals. As the Chief Minister said, raising soldiers requires a lot of money, which will inevitably cause certain troubles and pressure on the court. However, why do we attach so much importance to economy and border trade in the past few years?

We just need to make more money, accumulate grain and build high walls in peacetime, and powerful soldiers are our strong walls."

Leng Zuogong laughed, "Okay, you said this well, Qinghua, you are a well-educated man, brave and resourceful, but if you want to defend the military, you don't have to be a military general by yourself. Nowadays, the court mostly decides civil servants. As long as you have a place in the temple, you can make policies that are conducive to military and military affairs. Although the emperor can make decisions, the emperor must consider too many things and must not act arbitrarily. If most officials in the court support him, it will be more convenient and quick to implement policies. The emperor needs his right hand and needs a sickle to wipe out the weeds for him. You can be this sickle."

Mai Qinghua was stunned for a moment, and then began to think deeply.

The Prime Minister's words seemed to be a wake-up call, hitting his inherent thinking hard, but it was not straightened out for a while. It doesn't matter if it doesn't straighten out, but he has something more important.

"I wonder who the Prime Minister is talking about?

Can he really protect the media for me?"

As the saying goes, starting a family and starting a family, and becoming a family, he will be able to start his own career when he is stable.

And he couldn't wait any longer. She was so likable. If she went later, she might be snatched away.

The chief minister said: "You have to become the top scorer first so that he can take action, and once he takes action, he will keep you from marrying the woman you like."

"Is he?"

The chief minister took a sip of tea and glanced at Mai Qinghua with fox-like eyes, "It's what you just said. On the day of Feng Zhongyong Hou, he said that Xu Tangtang's marriage was contracted by him, and he would only marry her to the top scholar."

Mai Qinghua let out a thud, then turned around and ran out, unable to even give up the gift.

"where you go?"

The chief minister shouted in the back, which seemed anxious, but in fact he was joking.

“Preparing for the exam!”

Mai Qinghua left without looking back.

Shoufu Leng nodded with satisfaction, and liked this kind of practical style that just says it.
