Long live the best

"All follow me to the Tai Chi Hall!"

"I know it's no good for you to kneel here, and there must be trouble again!"

"Oh." He sighed.

The civil and military officials smiled awkwardly and quickly followed.

Half an hour later, Tai Chi Hall.

Overcrowded, the atmosphere is depressing.

There are many thorny issues, all of which happened during Qin Yun's absence from the palace, which need to be resolved by himself.

But it's not a big deal.

There is only one thing, one thing makes Qin Yun very upset!

A choice was placed before him.

There is a shortage of food, where will the 20 Jiangnan soldiers go?

"boom!"

Qin Yun slammed the table and said furiously, "Why do you always hold me back!"

"Xiliang, you only need to besieged for a short period of time before you can go to war and recover quickly!"

"Why is there not enough food?"

As soon as the officials trembled, they knew that His Majesty was going to be angry, so they couldn't help lowering their heads.

"Guo Ziyun, you are the Minister of the Household Department, tell me, what's going on?"

"Once the 20 troops are forced to retreat, Xiliang will have no checks and balances. How can I guarantee that Xiliang will be isolated and helpless, and we will attack at any time?" Qin Yun frowned and said loudly.

Chapter 395 Your Majesty, I'm Dissatisfied!

Guo Ziyun stood up and frowned.

"Your Majesty, the original budget of the Household Department is 20 troops. The war will start immediately and end within three months. The imperial court is gritting its teeth, and the food can support it."

"But I didn't expect it to be a protracted war. More than half a month has passed, and the war has not even officially started."

"During these days, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of mouths is too great. The court can support it, but it can't just keep some food, right?"

Hearing this, Qin Yun remained silent.

Guo Ziyun will not tell lies, this old man is loyal and capable, since he has put forward such opinions, it shows that the Ministry of Household Affairs is really in trouble.

After all, Daxia's money and food are not only for Xiliang.

Every state capital and every territory has to spend.

Zhao Heng, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood up.

Proposed: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households have communicated. In this situation, there are only two options."

"How about destroying Wang Min at the speed of thunder and regaining Xiliang."

"What do you want, retreat!"

"Wait after the spring harvest, when the food is more abundant, then fight again."

Qin Yun was excited: "It will take another three months?!"

"When we have enough food, Xiliang will be relieved, so what else will we fight then?"

Zhao Heng was silent.

Although the civil and military ministers did not speak, they were obviously more inclined to withdraw their troops.

Otherwise, I will not make a statement.

Qin Yun was very unhappy, and said in a bad mood: "Since there is not enough food, then we should transfer it from the state capitals!"

"Yangzhou, Yunzhou, Jiangnan and other places are rich, so I will send a batch of them here."

Guo Ziyun looked troubled.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has already thought of a solution, but people in all the state capitals say that the food that can be transferred is limited, and it is estimated that it is only enough to support an army of 20 for half a month."

"We'll have to consume food for several days on the way here, let alone attacking Xiliang. When the imperial army runs out of food, all previous efforts will be wasted and we will be forced to withdraw our troops!"

Qin Yun's face was ugly, and there was not enough food, so he definitely couldn't fight.

Even if you are sure to fight in a short time, it will not work. There is not enough food, which is a taboo for military strategists.

When Zhuge Liang left Qishan six times, he basically lost because of insufficient food.

wrong!

He came to his senses, stood up abruptly, his eyes sharp.

"What are the officials in the state capitals doing, are they corrupt?"

He roared angrily: "There isn't much grain in these places in Yangzhou? How many granaries are there?"

"When I am a fool?"

"You want to be fooled by the fact that food is limited?"

Everyone was startled and explained one after another.

"Your Majesty, there are many granaries, but not all of them are full."

"Taking Yangzhou as an example, it is indeed rich, but most of the tenants are gentry and nobles who farm the land. The tenants get [-]% of the grain per mu of land, and the grain tax collected by the court will not exceed [-]% at most."

"The major granaries are all in a state of dissatisfaction."

"Leave spare food, the rest is indeed like this."

"This is also the first year since the reform of the system, and the benefits will definitely have to wait until after the spring harvest."

Qin Yun glanced at Guo Ziyun.

With a bitter look on his face, he nodded, indicating that it was indeed so.

"Son of a bitch!"
