"So Aiqing's intention is to allow those remnants to gather in Chengdu Mansion and then destroy them?"
Liang Hanmin narrowed his eyes, "But what if the border war breaks out by then, but the Chengdu Forbidden Army fails to wipe out these remnants, or is even...defeated by them?"
He was obviously not satisfied with Su Zai's reply.
"this……"
Su Zai, on the other hand, refused to give in any more, life or death.
Maybe he promised Liang Hanmin here, and then what he had to pay was many nights of sleepless nights.
The officials in the six ministries under his ministerial authority, especially those in the Ministry of Revenue, and then to the officials and minor officials in the counties, states, and counties below, may even have to break their legs.
In an era like this, raising food and supplies has never been easy.
As for the grain storage in various granaries in Dayu, officials from the Ministry of Revenue have already calculated it themselves, and it is probably not enough for the emperor to make such drastic measures.
Because except for the food prepared for border wars, which has been shipped to the border one after another, there are not many reserves left in the granaries in various places.
These must be accumulated in the granary at all times to deal with natural disasters.
Even if they try hard, the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs can't get more grain out of the granary.
It can only be collected from the private sector.
“Donate food!”
At this time, Liang Hanmin waved his hand and said: "Let the nobles from all over the country donate food!"
Wang Zai, Su Zai, Xiang Lu and the housekeeper couldn't help but look shocked when they heard this.
They really did not expect that Liang Hanmin would say such words.
"emperor……"
Su Zai's face twitched slightly and he said: "Actually, I have already discussed this with the nobles of the dynasty, but they don't have much food left."
He knew that Liang Hanmin would not believe this, but he had no choice.
Because the biggest force behind him is the nobles in the court, and he represents these nobles to a large extent in the court.
This is why sometimes, he even dared to argue with the emperor.
Even Wang Zai doesn't have such courage.
"Oh."
Liang Hanmin glanced at Su Zai, who would rather make himself angry than show his position, and chuckled, "I won't let them donate in vain. Those who donate food will prevent them from going into battle to kill the enemy."
Su Zai and others were even more shocked.
In Dayu, things like marching and fighting are all assigned. Those who hold titles, even if they are the ancestors of Yuyin, when something happens, it is still okay and they have no choice.
Even those nobles with deep foundations would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and be said to be a vegetarian.
Liang Hanmin's move was a first of its kind.
Donate food and avoid going into battle.
If this is the case, there must be many nobles willing to donate large amounts of food to the court, especially those with few heirs.
Because even if the prince goes to the border, he may not be able to come back.
And no matter how high the title, no matter how much wealth, if there are no descendants who can inherit it, it will be nonsense.
"hiss……"
Su Zai couldn't help but take a breath, secretly looked at Liang Hanmin, and his attitude changed instantly, "I dare to ask the emperor, how much food can be donated to avoid going into battle?"
"hehe."
Liang Hanmin still smiled, "It's up to you, Su Aiqing, to discuss such matters with them! I just need to ensure that the enemies are killed on the border and that the soldiers who are suppressing rebellion at home have food to eat. That's enough."
"this……"
Of course, Su Zai would not agree wholeheartedly, and only said: "I will try my best to share the emperor's worries."
"Be quick."
Liang Hanmin didn't comment on his words and just said:
Then he waved his hand, "There's nothing else to do, you can go down!"
"I'll take my leave."
Wang Zai, Su Zai, Xiang Lu and the housekeeper sang in unison and slowly retreated outside the imperial study.
They retreated to the outside of the royal study room, and when they turned around, Wang Zai and Su Zai looked at each other, but said nothing and continued to walk out with a calm expression.
…
Inside Xishan Yechuan Village.
If we put aside the danger of being wiped out by the imperial minions or the army at any time, Lu Fang is quite satisfied with his current life in the village.
The poet Lu Zhaolin of the early Tang Dynasty only envied mandarin ducks and not immortals, and he even less envied mandarin ducks and not immortals.
Accompanied by Liang Siqi, Chen Youxi and Zhu'er, Lu Fang felt that if he wanted to be envious, he would have to be a mandarin duck envying himself.
As for the poverty of life in the village, that is nothing to worry about.
Although Liang Hanmin already knows his identity, it seems that he does not intend to make this secret public. At least up to now, Lu Fang's admiration value is still rising normally.
This must have been brought about by the manuscripts I gave to Xu Zhen.
As long as Lu Fang takes a little bit of these worship values, he can completely satisfy his appetite.
It's just that I don't dare to use too many worship points for the time being, because I don't know when I may "run out of food."
Furthermore, there is no movement in the hatred value. It is probably impossible to improve the cultivation level in a short period of time.
In fact, Lu Fang thinks it would be pretty good if he could live his life peacefully like this.
He doesn't even need to have a high level of cultivation.
But this is obviously impossible.
Lu Fang knew that hiding and having an ostrich mentality was useless, so while accompanying Liang Siqi, Chen Youxi and Zhu'er, he also spent a lot of time in the fields.
Only with food can we resolve the situation where copycats become the target of public criticism.
Only with food can people work hard for their lives.
When he was farming in Ningyuan before, Lu Fang had never been so concerned.
Just like that, time passed slowly, and half a month had passed since Xu Jinnian was rescued and returned to the village.
The potatoes planted by Lu Fang have passed the seedling stage and have begun to enter the fruiting stage.
But it was also at this time that crisis quietly came to Shanzhai again.
