After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 658 You are our blessing
"Robbed?" Su Jingyuan was quite surprised.

I have indeed never heard of this matter. I guess my sister has reliable sources of information.

The three of them sat down, and Yu Linlang handed the letter to Su Jingyuan.

"If this batch of grain is robbed, the prince's 200,000 troops will be in trouble." Since it was related to the war, Su Jingyuan did not dare to be careless.

"The Ministry of War should receive the news soon. However, the lost grain and fodder numbered tens of thousands, and there were thousands of people escorting them. We need to send someone to investigate what went wrong."

Su Jingyuan stood up and walked back and forth. "According to the news, more than half of the grain escort officers and others were killed or injured. Was it the grassland people who did it, or is there a problem within us..."

Yu Linlang looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "I don't care if it's a problem with the grassland people or if there are traitors in your court. Anyway, I just want to know, have you prepared the next batch of grain?"

The food rations for 200,000 people cannot be lost in such a mess.

With her around, there was no way any of Huaizhi's soldiers would starve to death.

A soldier has been through hundreds of battles and can die on the battlefield, but he is absolutely not allowed to starve to death!
"I don't have time to wait. I have already had the news spread, and the emperor will probably summon you to the palace soon."

"I want you to tell the emperor. I'll give you two hours to get the next batch of grain before dark. I'll bring people to the Ministry of Revenue to get it."

"As for what I'm going to do next, you don't need to know too much. Just give me the food."

Su Jingyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you just come with me to the court?"

"Hey~" Yu Linlang raised her little hand and waved it vigorously, "That won't do. I'm no longer an official of your court!"

Su Jingyuan laughed, "Nannan, are you really planning to send her to the border town yourself?"

"That's right. Those weaklings in the court can't be trusted. I'll deliver it myself and retrieve the grain as well."

"The grain was lost at Heifengpo and can't be transported far. Just imagine, tens of thousands of stones of corn and beans, it's impossible to push them far." Just think of your ancient small cart, Yu Linlang chuckled again.

It's not that she wants to attack from a lower dimension. Now that this matter has been brought to her Huaizhi's head, she must take sides without any reason.

"Okay, then I..." Before Su Jingyuan could finish his words, he saw a servant running in hurriedly and bowing.

"Second Master, someone has come from the palace and is urgently summoning you to attend a small court meeting."

Yu Linlang gave him a look that said "you know what I mean" and waved her hand to let Su Jing go away.

"Brother, how are our parents doing in Weizhou Prefecture?"

"Everything is fine, you don't have to worry. Everyone is settled in."

Yu Linlang nodded.

"That's good. I've been busy lately. I'll go see them when I get back from the border town."

"Okay." Su Heng smiled slightly.
-
Two quarters of an hour later, when the emperor and the six ministries ran in from the back door of Shanhai Restaurant, their eyes met and Yu Linlang was silent for a moment.

She never thought that Ye Chuanxin would come to find her directly with Lord Lu and others.

Lu Qian's father, the Minister of War, Lord Lu, was extremely anxious when he saw her. "Miss Yu, what's going on? Do you know who robbed our grain?" Yu Linlang: Who am I? Where am I? How do I know?

She just received a short message saying that the grain was robbed in Heifengpo. As to whether it was robbed by the grassland people or by an insider, she is still confused.

Liu Deng, the Minister of Revenue, was also very anxious. "Lord Yuhu! Please tell us the truth. It is not easy for the Ministry of Revenue to raise a batch of grain. You also know that our treasury is empty. It is indeed... very difficult to raise a second batch of grain in a short period of time!"

Yu Linlang looked at them expressionlessly, "I really don't know!"

"That's why I'm going to look for it because I don't know!" Yu Linlang said unhappily, "Hurry up and stop nagging. Give me the food you've collected within two hours and I'll take it with me."

Liu Deng, the Minister of Finance, fell to the ground beside Yu Linlang's legs, not caring about his appearance at all, and cried loudly, "Lord Yuhu, raising grain is not a small matter. The last batch of grain was raised by us, the whole court, by tightening our belts."

"During this period, many wealthy locals have provided us with a lot of support. The common people don't have much food left! We can't just go and rob people!"

Yu Linlang's eyes twitched, and she suddenly felt that Minister Liu was somewhat funny.

What happened? Before, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, but today he suddenly looked a little kind.

"Okay, hurry up and get up. Why are you crying, man?"

"Calculate how much you can give me. I don't want much. Just give me two or three thousand shi, black beans or red beans, whatever."

Minister Liu cried so hard, you picked out black beans and red beans, where are the beans left?
"The food we collected last time is enough to support the prince and his men for ten days! I thought I could relax and have a good sleep these few days! Who knew that such a large batch of food was robbed! Lord Yuhu, you are the people's Jade Justice, you have to take care of this matter!"

Minister Lu could no longer bear it, "Shut up! Listen to what Miss Yu has to say first."

Su Jingyuan looked helpless. He reached out and lifted up his Shangshu Lord, brushing off the dust on his body. "Sir, Lang'er just wants to help us. Don't cry first. Tell us the actual situation before you cry."

Yu Linlang's face was tense. "Okay, how much can your Ministry of Revenue pay?"

Liu Deng blushed, "In just two hours, even if we hang everyone in the Ministry of Revenue, we can only produce another 500 dan of millet at most!"

"You are simply so stingy!" Yu Linlang wanted to point at Liu Deng and curse him, but when she saw his red face that was stained with tears, she was instantly speechless.

"Alright, five hundred dan is five hundred dan, give it all to me! Take it all away. Also, you have to continue to collect food. We don't know when this war will last, so get ready first!"

Ye Chuanxin said seriously, "We will definitely continue to collect grain. The grain output in Junzhou is relatively high this year. We will further collect grain after we settle down in Junzhou."

"Yes, Junzhou is a rich and vast land, so there must be surplus food."

Yu Linlang glanced at them and said, "The big landlords and local gentry in various places only want fame and fortune. Emperor, please write a few more plaques for them and take more food from them."

"Forget about the small tenant farmers! Ordinary people have to make a living too."

"Especially you high-ranking officials! You should set an example. If you don't have food, donate some money, three months' salary! I will get you some food."

Everyone:...

It's such bad luck to have you here!
How come this is exploited on them...

Yu Linlang looked at them sideways. The emperor was knowledgeable and was the first to speak out, "I will take out 100,000 taels from my private treasury. Please help me buy grain, Lord Yuhu."
