Chapter 1717 Logistical Issues

"Miss Jiaojiao is loyal and caring to Your Highness, and Your Highness cannot let it go."

Seeing that Li Chen was in a pretty good mood, Wu Qingcang said a joke while talking about the topic.

Li Chen stood up and said, "Well, I'll talk while eating."

When he walked to the table, Li Chen picked up a steamed bun, turned his head and asked, "Have Wu Shuai used it?"

"Your Highness Xie is concerned. You have used food before." Wu Qingcang said immediately.

Li Chen nodded, and the steamed bun was covered with a stack of pickles, a small piece of river fish, and a bowl of rice porridge. This was his supper.

In the barren Ganzhou, it is already good to have such a meal, but for Li Chen's identity, it is a bit too shabby.

Wu Qingcang knew that Li Chen was not a show. Over the past period of time, Li Chen's food and clothing were so simple that he couldn't believe that he usually eats lightly and has very few dishes, but he can almost finish it every time. He took him to eat with him twice. Wu Qingcang even wondered that the imperial crown prince was even worse than him.

"Your Highness is strict with yourself and advocates frugality, so why worry about the country's prosperity?" Wu Qingcang said sincerely.

Li Chen was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "I am so serious. Actually, my diet is lighter. If the oily food is too heavy, it makes me feel uncomfortable after eating it. I don't want to eat those top-quality delicacies, but I always feel that these things are more at ease when I eat them, and I have not considered anything else."

Wu Qingcang said seriously: "It is precisely this that your highness seems to be innocent and unpretentious. In the past few days, he has eaten some light food with His Highness. Not to mention, he really feels much more refreshed and his body feels much more relaxed. It can be seen that a light diet is good."

Li Chen waved his hand and said, "No need to do this. You are marching and fighting. You must ensure that you have a lot of money every day. The food of the soldiers below cannot be light. The daily supply of meat must be sufficient. This is a waste of savings."

When Wu Qingcang heard this, he immediately said: "Please rest assured that the whole army has now guaranteed sufficient supply of meat, but..."

Hearing Wu Qingcang's words, Li Chen turned his head and frowned and asked, "It's just what?"

"It's just that the delay of food and grass supplies has become increasingly serious. At the beginning, it was only one day or two days delayed. This is not a big problem. It was originally a long journey, and due to the weather, it was normal and reasonable to delay a period of time. However, this delay has not been alleviated, but has intensified. The latest batch of food and grass supplies should have been delivered three days ago, but there has been no movement today."

"I will send someone to inquire, but I learned that it seems that the court cannot allocate money because the money in the rear is not enough, and the court cannot allocate money. This situation has been going on for a while. It is said that some merchants who supply goods have been owed for at least one month and are really unable to support it, so they stopped supplying."

Wu Qingcang bowed and said, "The current food and grass of the entire army can still last for a while thanks to the previous reserves, but the decisive battle is about to begin, and the daily consumption is astronomical. If the logistics problems are not solved, it will probably cause chaos. Moreover, the consumption of the Jin army is also a big family."

Li Chen frowned slightly.
