568 The identity of the corpse-3

“The two Da Feng granaries, Yu Prefecture and Zhang Prefecture, don’t have much left. I can’t gather it.”

“They’re being deployed from various states,” Emperor Yuan jing said.

The Minister of Revenue replied, ” even if there is shipping, it will take a lot of time and effort to collect grain from various states. By the time it is transported to the border of Chuzhou, I’m afraid there will be less than half left. This is not a good plan.

As he was speaking, the eunuch stopped at the door of the Royal study.

Emperor Yuan jing raised his hand and interrupted the Minister of Revenue. He looked at the eunuch at the door and said, “”What’s the matter?”

“Duke Wei is here.” The eunuch said.

“Let him in,” Emperor Yuan jing said indifferently.

The eunuch left. Ten seconds later, Wei Yuan stepped into the Royal study. As usual, he stood in his seat and did not make a sound.

this won’t do, and that won’t do either, ” Emperor Yuan jing said unhappily. do you all only know how to refute me? ”

Imperial censor of the left Yuan Xiong’s heart skipped a beat. He seized the opportunity and stepped forward, saying, “”I have a plan.”

“Please speak, Minister Yuan,” Emperor Yuan jing nodded.

Yuan Xiong said,”the Imperial court can temporarily add a service called the grain transport service.” Order the people to be responsible for transporting the rations.”

Emperor Yuan jing’s eyes lit up. This was indeed a good plan.

The so-called conscript labor was a labor activity that the Imperial court recruited people from all classes to engage in free of charge. If the people were responsible for escorting the grain and the soldiers were to supervise, then the Imperial court only needed to bear the food and use of the soldiers, and the people would have to settle their own food.

This way, not only could they ensure that the grain would not be consumed when it was transported to the border, but they could also save a large amount of grain transportation costs.

“This is a good plan!” Emperor Yuan jing laughed.

Yuan Xiong heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the Emperor accepted his plan, the consequences of the imperial examination fraud case would be minimized.

After the court examinations, once Xu Xinian achieved good results, he would be met with the counterattack of the eastern Pavilion Grand Secretary, Zhao tingfang, and Wei Yuan.

His position as the Imperial censor of the left had not yet been stabilized, and he might be shot down. He had to save himself.

Chief advisor Wang stepped forward and bowed, “”This plan is a disaster to the country and the people, Yuan Xiong must be killed!

“Your Majesty, it’s spring plowing and the people are busy with farming, so we can’t add corral labor. Since ancient times, food was the most important thing to the people, and nothing could disturb them during spring plowing.

in addition, there were many natural disasters last year, and the people did not have much food left. This plan is no different from adding oil to the fire and forcing people to die.

The Left Censor-in-Chief, Yuan Xiong, raised his eyebrows and was about to retort when he heard Chu Xianglong sneer, “”Chief Assistant Wang loves the people like his children, this general is impressed. However, were the people of Chu Zhou not considered citizens of Da Feng?

“Chief advisor Wang, are you turning a blind eye to their deaths?”
