Chapter 133: Special Supervisor
After listening to Xu Dayin's words, the face of the lord of the country did not change, but he was very unhappy in his heart. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Let's not say that Feng Shanyue's true identity is his daughter, just the fact that Xu Dayin opposes the edict he has issued in front of the civil and military officials makes him very unhappy.
Xu Dayin, who was anxious to stop the plan of the horse gambling farm, did not see the change in the mood of the lord of the country, and he looked at Feng Shanyue triumphantly to see how this stinky kid refuted himself.
Yushuai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ā
The lord of the kingdom nodded and motioned for him to speak. Xu Dayin was overjoyed, Yushuai is the commander of the army, and the matter of this horse is closely related to him, he will definitely stand on his side and oppose Feng Jiu's gambling on the horse farm.
Yu Shuai said: "Over the years, all the horses used in the army have been bought from Quchi Country. It's not that I, as the commander, shirk my responsibility, to be honest, a small half of the defeats of our Fire Phoenix Kingdom are because of horses. Therefore, now the high priest's disciples have come up with a good way to establish a gambling horse farm to solve the problem of war horses once and for all, and the minister agrees very much. Your Majesty!"
"You...... Yu Shuai, what do you mean?" Xu Dayin raised his eyebrows, "The army has lost the battle, why should the responsibility be put on the war horse? Isn't it the reason why your soldiers themselves are not good at fighting? Maybe it is because your soldiers are timid and run away as soon as they see the enemy, which leads to defeat!"
Yu Shuai raised his head suddenly and looked at him coldly: "Xu Dayin, what you said just now was said with a touch of conscience? Where were you when my soldiers fought bloody battles with the enemy? Where were you when my soldiers were killed by the enemy because of the weakness of their war horses? In order to prevent the enemy from attacking the people's villages, there were no war horses available, so they could only use their bodies to form a wall of flesh, and when they fought to the death with the enemy, where were you?"
"I ...... I ......" Xu Dayin was asked by Yu Shuai and kept retreating.
"You know every day that you are having fun in the Qinglou of the capital, and then you hear that our army is defeated and say these cool words. Do you know that those war horses are sent to the battlefield, either sick or weak, and the horses of the Ma Fang Kingdom are strong and strong, how do you let our soldiers fight each other? Feng Jiu came up with a way to solve the problem, and you desperately opposed it, what are your intentions? Do you want our Fire Phoenix Kingdom to only buy horses from Quchi Country forever?"
Yu Shuai almost said directly that Xu Dayin was seeking personal gain in the horse trade between the two countries, and other officials also pointed fingers at Xu Dayin.
Xu Dayin's face was flushed, and his expression was panicked, "I'm ...... What nonsense are you talking about? How could I have such an idea? Of course, I also hope that our Fire Phoenix Kingdom can have our own horses! However, what I said is also the truth, the cost of building a gambling horse farm is huge, and I don't know what the benefits are, can the money of the treasury be wasted like this?"
Feng Jiu said with a smile: "Xu Dayin is too worried, in fact, we don't need to rebuild the horse farm, we only need to renovate the horse farm of King Yiyang, so that we don't need so much money." ā
The high priest, who had not spoken all this time, also came out and said: "As for the money for the construction of the horse farm in the early stage, there is no need to use the state treasury. My Vermilion Bird family is willing to donate their family wealth to support Feng Jiu. Because I am very confident in Feng Jiu's plan. ā
Feng Jiu looked at the high priest with emotion, he didn't expect that he was actually willing to donate his family wealth to help him, such a master is really good.
The minister is also willing to donate some money to fund the horse farm. Yu Shuai also said.
"You guys ......" Xu Dayin saw that they all supported Feng Shanyue, and he didn't know what to say.
"Alright," the Lord of the Kingdom said, "Since the High Priest and Yu Shuai both said so, then let Feng Jiu try it, if it succeeds, it can be regarded as a great thing for the Fire Phoenix Country." ā
Xu Dayin had no choice but to shut up and return to the queue in a huff.
The next day, the newly appointed special envoy Feng Jiu came with his retinue from Xiao Wu to the Hunting Division.
"Meet the Envoy of the Prison, please forgive me if you miss the distance!" Fang Dayin learned of Feng Shanyue's arrival, and hurriedly greeted him out of the door and saluted respectfully. Since Feng Shanyue's official position was conferred by the lord of the country, although the official rank was not high, the clear-headed officials knew that they were polite to him.
"Fang Dayin doesn't have to be polite!" Feng Shanyue returned the salute, secretly glad that he was dressed as a man at this time, otherwise Fang Shan would know that his daughter died for him, and he didn't know how he would be mad!
"I don't know what the overseer is doing when he comes to the Hunting Division?"
"Oh, yes. I heard from the king that King Yiyang's horse farm was under the management of the Hunting Division, so I came to see Fang Dayin, hoping that Fang Dayin could take me to the horse farm to have a look. ā
Fang Dayin knew that Feng Shanyue planned to gamble on the horse farm, and he said with a sad face: "The supervisor wants to see the horse farm, and this official should not shirk it, but there have been some problems with the horse farm recently, and there may be no way to use it anymore." ā
"What's the problem?"
"This ......" Fang Dayin looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Recently, there have been monsters in the racecourse, and all the horses will vomit every night. Over the course of the days, all the horses had become emaciated, and some had died. ā
"Is it only at night?" Feng Shanyue frowned, what kind of horse disease only occurs at night?
"Yes. During the day, the horses look good, grazing, and running. But at night, I vomit and cramp in severe cases. ā
"Have you seen a horse doctor?"
"Look, the horse doctor who was originally in charge of Yiyang Wang Racecourse has changed many prescriptions, but he has never been able to heal. Therefore, we suspect that it is the monster that is doing it. At present, there are only a few slaves who are herding horses in charge of the horse farm, and the others dare not stay in the horse farm. ā
"Why hasn't this been reported?"
"Because ......" is actually because the lord of the country usually doesn't ask about the horse farm at all, and the hunting department doesn't take this matter seriously, where would he think of reporting it?
"In that case, then you can take me to see it!" Feng Shanyue doesn't believe in any monsters, she is determined to use the horse farm of King Yiyang.
"Yes!"
Accompanied by Fang Dayin, Feng Shanyue came to King Yiyang's horse farm. Looking at this horse farm, Feng Shanyue was very happy, this horse farm was built towards the sun, the ground was flat, full of emerald color, and the edge could not be seen at a glance, and it seemed that the area was very large.
"Fang Dayin, how big is this horse farm?"
"Three hundred acres. ā
"Three hundred acres ???" Feng Shanyue put up her hand, stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance, "Is it so big?"
"Yes, at the beginning, the king was sympathetic to King Yiyang, and deliberately set aside this land for him to make a horse farm. King Yiyang has spent a lot of effort on this horse farm, and the stables inside are also very well repaired. ā
The more Feng Shanyue looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and it was really a good idea to choose Yiyang Wang's horse farm as the racecourse.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look, shall we?"
Fang Dayin hesitated a little, "Master Supervisor, the official has already told you that there are monsters in this horse farm, and it may be dangerous to go in." The overseer is a high disciple of the high priest and a person trusted by the king, and the official does not dare to let you take this risk. ā
Feng Shanyue hooked her lips and smiled, "Fang Dayin, have you forgotten? I was originally a wizard!"
