If they increased the money, the treasury would certainly not be able to hold up.

All the civil and military officials looked at Prince Prince Fu Su.

It was a good thing that Prince Prince Fu Su stood out.

If the Emperor blamed them, he shouldn't punish them either.

After all, Prince Prince Fu Su was standing in front.

"What ideas do you have?"

Ying Zheng looked at Prince Fu Su with surprise.

Since Prince Fu Su managed the treasury, he had become much more silent.

Or it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was biding his time.

"Father Emperor, can we dispatch the Xiongnu captives who went to Nanyue to come back?"

"Although there are only twenty or thirty thousand captives, this number is still a bit small."

"But letting them do some heavy work, and letting the laborers do lighter work should be enough."

Prince Fu Su didn't want to use the treasury, so he could only wrong the Xiongnu captives.

He couldn't have done such a thing in the past, but times were different now.

He was not as pedantic as before, and he didn't learn that set of Confucianism anymore.

"Nanyue is crucial."

"Those captives who are repairing the road cannot be moved."

Ying Zheng shook his head slowly; he had also thought about this aspect.

The road between Nanyue and the Peacock Dynasty must be opened up.

The manpower there certainly could not be withdrawn.

If the road was not repaired, supplies could not be transported conveniently.

He still wanted to send more manpower to help open up the road, so how could he withdraw the people there.

"Then... this son also doesn't know what to do."

Prince Fu Su smiled bitterly and retreated.

This couldn't be moved, that couldn't be moved.

This matter was truly difficult to handle.

Ying Zheng's brows were tightly locked, and he lowered his head in thought.

The vast Qilin Hall suddenly became silent.

The atmosphere also became dull.

The ministers stared at each other, just not daring to speak much.

Because they really had no way, and were afraid that the Emperor would blame them.

Therefore, they just didn't speak.

Just when everyone was at a loss.

A loud high-pitched voice of a eunuch came from outside the hall.

"War report from the northern border has arrived!"

People in the Qilin Hall heard this and turned their heads to look outside the hall.

At this time—

A scout soldier rushed in quickly.

When there was an emergency military situation, the scout did not need the Emperor's summons and could enter the hall directly.

The soldier entered the hall quickly, bowed, and saluted.

"See the Emperor!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Report to the Emperor, this is a victory report from the northern border."

"A letter written by the Crown Prince himself!"

The scout held up a bamboo tube with both hands. ===== CHAPTER 1294 =====
