Chapter 282

Wu Zhao looked at the charred Chu soldiers' bodies on the battlefield that began to smoke, and spoke.

"I fear this will disappoint Your Majesty; just this battle has used up a quarter of the stock, and I fear the alcohol is not enough."

"So much?"

Wu Zhao was a little surprised.

Gao Yang nodded, "There are many citizens on the walls of Changancheng, and they need battle after battle to complete their transformation."

"In this first battle, I naturally want to give them confidence; as the saying goes, as one grows, the other wanes; if our army is strong, the Chu army is weak; whether it is arrows or alcohol, a lot was used, plus this battle caught the Chu army off guard, which is why it had such an effect."

"In the next battle, after the Chu army is prepared, I fear the consumption will be even greater; the time is urgent, and there is little fine wine; relying on this inventory, it is not enough."

Gao Yang hinted, wine is brewed from grain, and the price is not cheap.

This must be suppressed by Wu Zhao with a strong hand.

Wu Zhao understood instantly.

"The major wine shops in Changancheng must have private goods, and the major aristocratic families also have a lot of fine wine stored."

"I will send people to grab it immediately!"

Wu Zhao's voice was cold, and her tone was unquestionable.

Gao Yang coughed twice and said, "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong; under the whole heaven, is it not the king's land; on the shores of the land, is it not the king's subjects; within Great Qian, as long as it exists, it is Your Majesty's thing."

"Taking your own things, how can this be called grabbing? At most, it's called borrowing!"

"Even if Your Majesty wants to borrow their heads, it's fine!"

Wu Zhao: "..."

This makes a lot of sense.

"Then I will send people to find them to borrow it immediately; this matter is not negotiable."

Wu Zhao said authoritatively.
