Chapter 430 Buying Grain and Grass

He shook his head, stepped forward helplessly, and said, "Your Majesty, of course we need to find out about this matter! But the most urgent thing now is to prepare food and grass to be transported to the frontier, otherwise we won't be able to fight others, and we will be in chaos."

"Xilingbo is right! Your Majesty is still putting food and grass first." After Xilingbo finished speaking, Prime Minister Gao also stepped forward to second the proposal.

Emperor Yunzhao knew very well that what Xilingbo said was the most important thing at the moment, so he took a few deep breaths to calm down the anger in his heart.

"Where is the Minister of the Household?"

"Chen is here!"

"Shangshu of the Household Department, I order you to immediately take the left and right servants of the Household Department, Yuan Wailang and others, and hurry up to coordinate the food and grass. All the food and grass must be in place within five days. I will have at least a batch of food and grass to reach northern Xinjiang in half a month."

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Emperor Yun Zhao finished speaking, the Secretary of the Household Department hurriedly stepped forward again, "Your Majesty, the food and grass left in the Household Department are not enough for the three-way army at all. The rest is only enough at most. The army along the way supported for half a month."

Hubu Shangshu was about to cry, let alone within five days, even if he was given thirty days, he would not be able to raise so much food and grass.

"What did you say?" Emperor Yun Zhao was shocked, he didn't expect that there was only this little food left in the household department.

Not to mention Emperor Yunzhao, even the ministers said, "Minister of the Household Department, why is there only this little food left in the treasury?"

"Your Majesty, my large grain-producing mansion in Da Viet is basically in the area of ​​Lin'an Prefecture. However, due to the flood in Lin'an Prefecture a few years ago, Lin'an and Lin'an Prefecture were exempted from taxes for three years. Besides, in the past two years, there have been various natural disasters in other places. In case of man-made disasters, my tax in Da Viet is already light, and the tax collected year after year is only enough for all kinds of expenses, and there is no savings at all. Moreover, in order to resettle the victims, the Quan Rong and the Northwest Garrison oppressed the people a while ago. Tens of thousands of grains. Although the autumn harvest has passed, the harvested grains have been transported to the frontiers earlier, and the remaining part of the tax has been confiscated. The emperor's old ministers also want the Ministry of Households to produce more grains, but within five days Even if I kill the minister, the minister will not be able to collect the food and grass for the hundreds of thousands of troops from the three routes."

The more Shangshu Hubu said, the more he felt wronged, and he was helpless without food.

"The Ministry of Accounts transfers money, go out to buy! Buy from various merchants for me!"

Hearing what Emperor Yunzhao said, the Minister of the Household Department opened his mouth to say something else.

But Emperor Yunzhao took the lead, "Don't tell me that the Ministry of Households can't even get the money to buy Liang?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs is so nonchalant that he dare not speak out, but in fact he really wants to say yes.

But at this time the emperor is in a fit of anger, so he should not talk about it for now, wait until two days later.

When Emperor Yun Zhao saw that the Minister of the Household Department finally stopped talking, he snorted and asked the little eunuch to retreat.

After returning to the imperial study room, I saw several decrees spread out quickly.Emperor Yun Zhao leaned on the dragon chair, groaning coldly in his heart, he wanted to see who was playing tricks on him.And that person was able to destroy all the food and grass within the territory of Dayue, which shows that there must be someone from him in Dayue, and even the DPRK and China may have the other party's secret work, or it may not be a conspiracy.It seems that some people want to take this opportunity to do something.

But I'm afraid that those people will be disappointed. Do you think that the three kingdoms can destroy Da Viet?Haha, I'm afraid no one would have thought that he, Da Yue, would have such a magical weapon in his hand.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yunzhao's haze caused by the matter of grain and grass finally dissipated a little.

It's just that at this time someone came to report again, saying that it was the second prince who asked to see him.

But before he announced people in, someone came to report that it was Concubine Mei asking to see him.

Emperor Yun Zhao slightly frowned slightly between his brows.

"Let the second prince come in first!"

"Yes" the little eunuch went out to deliver the letter after hearing the words.

But the little eunuch backed in before reaching the door, and Emperor Yun Zhao raised his eyes to see that it was Empress Liu who broke in.

"Empress, why are you here?" Emperor Yun Zhao was a little displeased with Empress Liu's unreasonableness, but it was only because she was the mother of a country that she didn't get angry.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something important to ask for his permission."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, this is a happy event!" Although Empress Liu was hurt by the incident between the second prince and Mei Ruoyan, she was her own son after all, and it happened in public. As a prince, that must be done. Give an explanation.

And she guessed that the emperor didn't know about it yet, if she knew, she didn't need to think too much about how angry the emperor would be and how disappointed he was with the emperor.

But there is no way to stop this matter, so many people have seen it, and it will be a matter of time before it reaches the ears of the emperor.Instead of waiting for the emperor to ask, it is better to take the initiative to speak out and bear the consequences, at least let the emperor know that her emperor is still responsible.

In addition, she knew that Concubine Mei's bitch was also outside, so she broke in regardless, in order to get ahead of Concubine Mei and prevent him from talking nonsense to the emperor.

Thinking of this, Empress Liu smiled stiffly, and then continued, "Your Majesty, our son has grown up and knows to share our royal worries. He said that the war of the Four Kingdoms is now raging, but as a descendant of the royal family, he can't even go to the battlefield. It was because of guilt, so I went to Huguo Temple the day before yesterday, and specially asked Master Yuanji to perform a Dharma prayer for the soldiers of the three armies, and bless the three armies to return smoothly and triumphantly."

When he heard that he was going to pray for the three armies, Emperor Yun Zhao's face, which had been gloomy all morning, finally looked better.

It's just that when he saw that Empress Liu was hesitant to speak, he felt that there might be a follow-up to this matter.

Sure enough, the queen went on to say, "Your Majesty, this Huguo Temple is worthy of being our first temple in Da Viet. Master Yuanji said after doing this, the peace of the four kingdoms can be achieved in just one thought."

"Really?" Emperor Yunzhao answered lightly.However, he didn't really believe that as long as the battle started, it wouldn't end in a single thought.It's just that he thought again, this bald donkey who passed away never spoke empty words, since he dared to say that, it showed that he had a certain basis.But why would he say that?Could it be?Emperor Yunzhao thought of the explosive that he called a magic weapon, and he was overjoyed immediately.

When Empress Liu saw the smile on Emperor Yunzhao's face, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine still has a happy event to report to the Emperor."

"Oh, what else is there?"

"Our emperor is going to accept a side concubine. Isn't this a happy event. After all, when he is old, he knows that he will spread the branches and leaves for our royal family."

Emperor Yunzhao glanced at Empress Liu with narrowed eyes, and asked with a smile, "Oh, whose girl is the second child?"

"It belongs to the Mei family, Miss Mei Ruoyan."

"Who did you say?" Emperor Yun Zhao thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.

"The eldest daughter of the Mei family, Mei Ruoyan."
