I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With

Lin Weide could see through this logic, and so could his good friends. When two or three of his good friends learned of the conversation at the entrance of the academy, they immediately rushed to Pine Mountain Academy from all over the capital.

"Your Highness broke the stalemate with the Imperial Court the moment you arrived. It seems that The Great Qi Times is very much intertwined with the Imperial Court. I just don’t know how I should position The Great Qi Times going forward."

"The Great Qi Times is now an asset of the King’s estate. In the future, it will at least still belong to the commoners and the royal family. However, the royal family will most likely not interfere in the management and will only supervise. The officials of the Imperial Court are busy with politics, so they naturally don’t have time to manage The Great Qi Times and maybe will only ask a question or two occasionally."

Lin Weide’s eyes lit up when he heard that. "If that’s the case, it’s really a blessing for the scholars of Great Qi and the people!"

Mu Yangling shook her head and said, "Teacher Lin, in my heart, there is no distinction between civil and military affairs. I hope that there is no bias towards either side in The Great Qi Times either. Civil officials can govern the country, and martial officials can lead the country to peace. No matter when, we cannot do without either civil or military officials. Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang officials all had civil and military talents. Although the Great Qi Dynasty recruited civil and military personnel separately, I don’t wish to see an obvious distinction between civil and military affairs outside of the imperial examinations and military examinations."

Lin Weide understood that it was not good to have one party surpass the other. If the former dominated, they would not be able to protect the country like the Great Zhou, whereas the latter would easily lead to trouble. Therefore, the country had to emphasize both literature and martial arts equally.

Lin Weide said seriously, "Don’t worry, Your Highness. I won’t let you down."

Mu Yangling nodded solemnly.

After a cup of tea, Mu Yangling smiled. "Since Teacher Lin is done asking questions, it’s my turn to ask. I heard that Teacher Lin once discussed the Dao with the family head of the Cheng-Zhu school of thought at Mount Wutai. I wonder who won."

"There was no winning or losing," Lin Weide said. "I couldn’t convince the other party, and the other party couldn’t convince me either."
