Chapter 322 Ye Yanyi [2]

"It's just some lowly grass-roots people. How can they compare with those soldiers from our Dongyu Kingdom?" Taiwei Hong had a faint smile in his eyes, and he looked calm and composed. "The soldiers galloped on the battlefield and defended their country. We must ensure that the soldiers have enough food and clothing, so that they can have the strength to protect the country and protect His Majesty."

His words were justified and sound, undoubtedly saying that he was going to find Zhang Tiezhu to build a workshop for this potato flour recipe.

Other ministers attached the words of Taiwei Hong, saying that he was right.

Ye Xiange's eyes were filled with coldness. This old man who was so sly and slick, and these fence-skinned grass!

"Ha..." A sneer filled with mocking overflowed from Ye Xiange's lips. He took a step forward and swept his sharp eyes straight towards Taiwei Hong, "Dare you ask Taiwei Hong, where are the soldiers who defend their families and the country coming from?"

"Five lakes and all the seas."

"What did these soldiers from all over the world do before? What family did they come from?"

Taiwei Hong was stunned and didn't say anything, his eyes slightly sank.

Prime Minister Zhu Mingxu said: "Some are children of the gentry, but most of them are farmers from the countryside."

"Yes, most of the soldiers come from the countryside, and they are 'unfairmen's despised by you, Taiwei Hong,!" Especially when he said the last two words, Ye Xiange augmented his voice, "Every time there is a war, it is precisely because they charge in front of them to defend their country, you who have high officials and generous salaries can enjoy peace in this Shengjing city, listen to music and watch opera.

Some of them joined the army to protect their territory from foreign invasion, some to protect their wives and children, and some to serve their country loyalty!

And who is the one who provides military rations to these soldiers? Or what you call a "untouchable" you look down upon! Without the hard work of farmers, where can we get the firewood, rice, oil and salt? Could it be that you, Taiwei Hong, planted it?

At that time, the flood had just passed, and all the crops planted by the farmers were destroyed. If Zhang Tiezhu had not cultivated potato seedlings, there would probably be more people who starved to death! Fortunately, potato flour would have been used to fill the soldiers' hunger during this frontier battle, and they could eat a bite of hot noodle soup in the cold winter. What did you, Taiwei Hong, do during this period? It was so happy to sing and dance every day!"

Taiwei Hong's face turned black by Ye Xiange's words, and a trace of furiousness surged in his eyes.

This damn Ye Xiange, there will be no good things once he returns to the capital!

He gritted his teeth and quickly looked at Xiao Yinglong on the Dan Palace and explained: "Your Majesty, the old minister has never been able to sing and dance every day. Since the war, the old minister has been worried, and he cannot sleep at night! Recently, the old minister has lost weight because he has been thinking too much in his heart!"

"Clever words make people look good." Ye Xiange snorted coldly.

Taiwei Hong said angrily: "Criminal Ye, don't be too much! Every word I say is true. When did you ever have any clever words or despicable?"

Ye Xiange curled his lips: "Since you said you were worried that you would not think about food and food and could not sleep at night, why didn't you open the warehouse and release grain when flooding occurs to help the world? The first batch of potatoes planted by Zhang Tiezhu at that time were donated to all the victims of Zhongyun County for free.
