Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

"By the time you finish your investigation, the soldiers on the front lines will be starving!"

Zhao Gou's voice was icy, his tone filled with deep disappointment.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!"

Cai Jing kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead hitting the gold bricks with a resounding thud.

The entire court was silent, as if trembling with fear.

No one dared to utter a sound.

"The grain is lost?"

Liang Shan stood in the third row, trying his best to minimize his presence.

The Song Dynasty in this world was extremely powerful.

The national treasury is full.

It has a profound and rich cultural heritage.

It was precisely because of this that Yue Fei, at the front line, had no worries about his rear and led his martial arts army to firmly block the invasion of the Jin Dynasty's demons.

but……

Martial arts masters are all made of flesh and blood, and they also need to eat and drink.

Now, three million bushels of grain have vanished.

It had a huge impact on the fighting on the front lines.

If not handled properly, at best the defenses will collapse, and at worst the Song Dynasty will be destroyed by demons!

"My esteemed ministers, do you have any good strategies?"

Zhao Gou's gaze swept over the assembled officials, and he asked a question.

Inside the main hall.

The ministers looked at each other and remained silent for a few seconds.

Cao Zhengchun stepped forward first: "Your Majesty, the amount of grain, three million shi, is enormous. For it to disappear overnight is something that ordinary demons could not have accomplished."

"you mean?"

Zhao Gou's brow twitched slightly.

"This matter is most likely the work of a Celestial Realm demon from the Jin Kingdom."

Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice, "To retrieve the grain, we must first capture this demon."

"What you say makes sense, my dear minister."

Zhao Gou nodded slightly, then asked, "How should we capture this demon?"

"The other party is at the Celestial Realm, and their whereabouts are elusive, beyond my ability to detect."

Cao Zhengchun shook his head and looked at Zhu Wushi, who was standing at the head of the group, and said, "I have long heard that the intelligence-gathering methods of the Dragon Guard Manor are first-rate in the world, and the Divine Marquis is the strongest person in our Great Song Dynasty. He will surely be able to capture this demon."

"You neutered dog, stop talking nonsense!"

Zhu Wushi glanced at him and sneered, "This demon is at the Celestial Realm. Are you trying to send me to my death?!"

"God Marquis, please calm your anger."

Cao Zhengchun wasn't annoyed. He explained with a smile, "You are at the peak of the Grandmaster realm, just one step away from entering the Celestial Realm. You also have three top secret agents under your command, Tian Di Xuan, who have practiced combined attacks for many years. You are more than capable of fighting this demon!"

"Oh!"

Zhu ignored him and turned his head away.

Seeing this scene.

Liang Shan's lips twitched a few times.

Although Cao Zhengchun had ulterior motives, he was indeed polite.

He addressed each person as "Divine Marquis" repeatedly.

Zhu ignored it.

Lack of manners.

That's so rude.

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree with Eunuch Cao's words."

Just then, Yu Huatian also stepped forward.

"Oh?"

Zhao Gou looked at him.

"Catching demons may seem difficult, but it's actually not simple at all."

Yu Huatian cleared his throat and analyzed seriously: "As far as I know, I currently know nothing. But the most urgent task is to find the key issue. What is the key issue? It is to find the key to the problem first."

"If we can't find the key to the problem, then it's impossible to solve the key problem."

"Once we find the crux of the problem, then it's equivalent to finding the key problem..."

The entire court was dumbfounded.

Collective silence.

Liang Shan, standing in the crowd, also stared wide-eyed. He hadn't expected Yu Huatian, the chief steward of the West Depot, to be so good at spouting nonsense.

This is simply a natural-born bureau chief.

To be able to stand in the Song Dynasty court, one must have some ability.

"Minister Yu, why don't you rest for a bit and have some water?"

Zhao Gou, sitting on the dragon throne, rubbed his temples, feeling that his blood pressure was a little high.

"I obey your decree."

Yu Huatian bowed and took a step back, his expression unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

"My esteemed ministers, do you have any other opinions?"

Zhao Gou turned his gaze to the others, glancing over Liang Shan intentionally or unintentionally.

Liangshan remained unmoved.

Take half a step back.

He shielded his ministers in front of him.

"His Majesty."

Cai Jing stood up, his forehead bleeding, and suggested, "Your Majesty, I believe that investigating the demons of the Celestial Realm is too difficult. It would be better to start with the three million shi of grain."

"What do you mean, my dear minister?"

"According to my understanding, there are hundreds of mountains outside Kaifeng, and there are many wild animals on the mountains. If we just gather hunters to go into the mountains to hunt, we may be able to gather three million catties of meat to solve the urgent needs of the front line."

Cai Jing stood tall and proud, his smug gaze sweeping over the assembled officials in the hall.

All of you gentlemen.

When all other options were exhausted, he actually came up with a solution.

It seems.

He was the smartest man in the Song Dynasty.

"Three million catties of meat is no small amount. Can hunters gather that much on their own?"

Zhao Gou stared at him, frowning as he spoke.

"sure."

Cai Jing affirmed, "I have learned that a hunter can hunt 300 catties a month. If we gather 10,000 hunters into the mountains, we can raise 3 million catties of meat within a month."

The voice just fell.

The assembled officials stared wide-eyed once more, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Liangshan...

They also cast shocked glances at Cai Jing.

Heroes of the world.

They were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Yu Huatian spouted a lot of nonsense, and Cai Jing even came up with the suggestion of causing cerebellar atrophy.

Do you really think the wild animals in the mountains respawn at fixed times every day?

"Cai Jing! What utter nonsense are you spouting!"

A burly, bearded general suddenly erupted, pointing his finger at Cai Jing and yelling, "Three million catties of meat, without a single grain of rice! Won't the soldiers choke?!"

really.

Where there is a sleeping dragon, there must be a phoenix chick.

Liang Shan couldn't help but cover his face; he always felt somewhat out of place with this group of people.

"General Zhang, please calm down."

Cai Jing remained unfazed: "I am merely offering a suggestion; whether or not it is adopted is entirely up to Your Majesty's decision."

"I suggest you fucking swear!"

Another military officer stepped forward, his voice so loud it shook the hall: "The soldiers on the front lines are fighting bloody battles, and you're not even feeding them rice, only wild game? Is that a balanced diet? Why don't you go eat shit?!"

"General Wang, please watch your words."

Cao Zhengchun frowned and reminded him gently.

"I'm watching your grandpa!"

General Wang glared at him, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed forward.

then……

"Bang!"

A figure was sent flying backward.

Cao Zhengchun, his clothes slightly dirty, said softly, "General Wang, please forgive me."

"You son of a bitch!"

General Wang was enraged.

Led by his generals, a large group of people charged towards Cao Zhengchun.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A few breaths.

Dozens of ministers then joined the melee.

Although Cai Jing was a civil official, he also rushed into the fray, dodging left and right, and took the opportunity to kick General Wang.

"Gurgle!"

Liang Shan stood in the back row, dumbfounded.

This is the imperial court of the Song Dynasty.

The level of openness is too high.

Civil and military officials were hurling insults at each other in public, using foul language, and the emperor did nothing about it?

He secretly glanced at Zhao Gou on the dragon throne.

Zhao Gou was seen slowly sipping his tea, his face expressionless, as if he were used to this scene.

"Isn't this better than Bo Ran?"

Liang Shan felt his chest throbbing with excitement.

Honestly, if he weren't lacking in skill, he would also like to join this group activity.
