Chapter 103

Until now, they suddenly found that the position of Minister of Agriculture is so important!

No wonder Ying Su said he had to handle Sima Yan and change the Minister of Agriculture to Xiao He!

Damn it!

The Minister of Agriculture is in charge of the money and grain of the world!

And without money and grain, what can you do?

"This rebellious son!"

Ying Zheng was furious, and hammered the table with a hard fist!

Feng Feng Qiji said: "Why not... I go beg the new Emperor? Suppressing the rebellious thieves is related to the Great Qin society! Although the new Emperor is mischievous, he shouldn't be confused about such major events!"

He said, at this moment, he also had a huge headache!

However, just as he said this, Ying Zheng waved his hand to interrupt:

"No!"

"I will not beg this rebellious son!"

"This money and grain, let's draw it from my inner palace!"

"My inner palace has thirty thousand shi of grain, and two million coins!"

"Is this money and grain enough for this battle?"

"Ah?"

Once these words were spoken, Wei Wei Liaozi was stunned.

He estimated that at least five million coins and fifty thousand shi of grain were needed!

After all, this is a thirty thousand army, just the consumption along the way, plus the confrontation, etc.

This battle might last at least two months; two months, thirty thousand shi of grain and two million coins are really not enough!

Then... then what should we do?

Wei Wei Liaozi was really numb!

068. Wang is not Xiang, strength is not Ba! Xiang Yu vs Li Li Yuanba!

In the courtyard!

At this moment, it's not just Wei Wei Liaozi who has a headache.

Wang Ben, Meng Tian, Meng Wu, they are all having a headache for this!

The food and clothing for the thirty thousand army, thirty thousand shi of grain, two million coins are really not enough!

However, just when everyone was having a headache, Zhao Gao said in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, the inner treasury is in... Xianyang Palace!"

"Hmm?"

"The inner treasury is in Xianyang Palace?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone felt dizzy!

Ying Zheng's anger surged up!

"The inner treasury is in Xianyang Palace?"

"What do you mean?"

Ying Zheng was boundless in his anger!

Others were trembling!

But at the same time, they were also somewhat desperate!

Because... this means that even thirty thousand shi of grain and two million coins cannot be taken out.

After all... this is returning to Xianyang Palace!

But Xianyang Palace is guarded by Ying Su's garrison troops, how can it be so easy to enter?

"This... this how?"

Everyone's scalp went numb!

Ying Zheng thought again and again, does he want to return to the palace?

Or, does he want to go beg that rebellious son?

But... he really doesn't want to go!

Even knowing that this rebellious son probably won't refuse, he doesn't want to go!

He doesn't want to lose face in front of the rebellious son!

Ying Zheng was boundless in his annoyance!

At the critical moment, Zhao Gao spoke again:

"Your Majesty... I... I... can donate the money and grain in my home to help the Emperor!"

Once he said this, everyone reacted!

Meng Wu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I also have surplus grain in my home to help the Emperor!"

Feng Feng Qiji, Wei Wei Liaozi, they all bowed, indicating they could help!

Even Wang Ben expressed his intention!

But... after everyone reported the quantity, it was still not enough!

Because, the total amount added up was only thirty-five thousand shi of grain, and one million five hundred thousand coins!

Still short of fifteen thousand shi of grain, and five hundred thousand coins!

"Your Majesty, the army can move first, occupy the favorable terrain first, and the money and grain can be discussed later!"

"Or perhaps, this battle cannot be fought for two months; after all, Xiang Yu is just a reckless man, and his forty thousand army is just rabble!"

"And our thirty thousand people are elite!"

"They are all Great Qin soldiers who fought in the six countries in the past!"

"Xiang Yu's soldiers definitely can't beat us!"

Feng Feng Qiji bowed and explained!

And his words, no one dared to agree.

Xiang Yu, no matter how weak he is, is a descendant of a famous general; although he hasn't led troops, no one dares to underestimate him!

Forty thousand people, although they are rabble, have a gap of one hundred thousand people.

And in past battles, like this kind of great war with seven hundred thousand people added together, let alone fighting for one or two months, it is normal to fight for one or two years!

For example, the famous Battle of Changping, the Qin army of six hundred thousand fought against the Zhao country's four hundred thousand, and it took three years!

Even if you count from the famous general Bai Qi against the new general Zhao Kuo, it took a full five months for Zhao Kuo to surrender!

Those private troops look like rabble, but in terms of individual combat ability, they are private noble troops, and everyone's combat effectiveness will not be too bad!

Speaking of Xiang Yu, even if he is weak, he won't be weaker than Zhao Kuo!

This person is a descendant of a famous general after all!

This battle, fighting for two months, is just the lowest budget!

This battle can only be fought for a longer time, not shorter!

So, at this moment, everyone is very anxious!

And looking at the crowd in front of him, Ying Zheng thought for a long time and said to Zhao Gao:

"Stop the Lishan Mausoleum, and extract two million coins and twenty thousand shi of grain from the budget that has already arrived!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Then, everyone knelt on the ground with a thud!

Feng Feng Qiji cried: "Your Majesty, even if I smash the pot and sell the iron, I will raise enough money and grain for this battle for the Emperor; Your Majesty, the Lishan Mausoleum cannot stop work!"

Wei Wei Liaozi also said: "Emperor, my whole family lives by tightening our belts, but we cannot let the Emperor stop the Lishan Mausoleum!"

Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Meng Tian, they also expressed that they could think of other ways!

If it really doesn't work, go find Ying Su!

And Ying Zheng's eyes were extremely firm: "Zhao Gao, do as I say!"

"But you, this battle can only be won, not lost, and... this battle must be fast!"

"It's not just the money and grain problem, there is also the Xiongnu border!"

"After Meng Tian finishes this side, he must return to Shangjun immediately!"
