The grain stored in the Tongzhou granary could not be transported to the capital in the short term, and some of the court officials present at the meeting were worried that they would be used by Wara, and they advocated that the grain should be burned.

Jin Lian, the head of the household department, agrees with this idea, fighting a war is burning money, and a series of bills put forward by Chen Xu ask for money everywhere.

The imperial court sent 200,000 troops to the north, and every expenditure on military salaries, grain and grass, weapons, and armor was not a small amount, and the household department was already tight, and the 200,000 soldiers in the first battle of Tumubao were all wiped out, and the huge pension was simply the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Jin Lian was anxious during this time, walking on the street and seeing the lead bumps were picked up to see if the white silver was covered with dust, he looked at everyone like a forced debtor, especially when he saw the people in the military department, he couldn't wait to let his subordinates tell the people that their leaders were not there.

Chen Xu mentioned transporting grain, and Lord Jin's first reaction was that there was no money.

Grain is the most precious gift of life given by God, Jin Lian proposed to burn the grain is really helpless, do not consider whether it can be transported to the capital, millions of stone grain can not be stored in the open air, do you need money to build a granary? Manpower, material resources, these are all expenses.

The imperial treasury is stretched thin, and I really can't afford it right now.

Mr. Shi seconded.

As the lord and faction responsible for receiving the envoys of Warat, after Chen Xu buckled his hat, he didn't want to have anything to do with Warat anymore. If he insists on transporting the grain to the capital, once it is intercepted by Wara, this is a disguised enemy, with Chen Xu's villain temperament, how can he let go of the opportunity to attack himself?

When it comes to eloquence, Master Shi is very afraid of Chen Xu, this guy can tell things that he doesn't have as if they were real things. Strong words can also speak lotus. He's simply a villain among villains.

"Lord Jin, Lord Shi, Yang believes that these grains are the key to this battle, if there is no grain and grass, the army will collapse without a fight, so we should take a measure to ensure that the grain arrives in the capital before the large-scale invasion of Warat."

Qin Zheng and Wang Zhi agreed with Yang Yunrui's statement that food is the foundation of survival, and famine not only affects the combat effectiveness of the army, but also directly affects the stability of Dayan. However. This argument related to the national economy and people's livelihood is not recognized by the majority of people.

Some people agreed to transport grain at any cost, and more insisted on burning grain and grass, claiming that even if Dayan was full of graves, it would not be cheap.

The so-called democracy. Generally speaking, it means that the minority obeys the majority, and according to this principle, Jin Lian, Shi Daren and others should be able to obtain tongguò. According to the modern society, democracy comes first, and then centralization, and centralization is the guidance and result of democracy. In a country like Dongyi, called the United States, the method of relying on the will of the people to choose who is the leader of the country is a floating cloud.

Chen Xu stood behind Meng Yao, and he put his hands on Meng Yao's shoulders. It seems arbitrary, but he has the right to veto the bill.

"I agree with General Yang that grain must be transported to the capital." Chen Xu's eyes swept over the adults present, "Since that's the case." That's it. ”

After Chen Xu finished speaking, the ministers who held opposing views looked at each other.

"Lord Xiao Chen, since you have a plan, why did you summon us and others? Do you think everyone else is as idle as you are? ”

Meng Yao held a pen to record the minutes of the meeting, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but look up at Master Shi, are you idle? Others don't know, but she, as a wife, knows the hard work of her husband. Meng Yao really wanted to argue with Master Shi, but she knew that this was not the place for her to speak, and she might be able to have sex at home, but never outside. Otherwise, others are only laughing at each other.

"Since Master Shi thinks it's unfair, we might as well vote, and the one with the most votes represents the final result." Chen Xu looked at Meng Yao, and he said again, "Qin Guan." Cut some square paper and send it to all the adults here. ”

Chen Xu watched Meng Yao hand out the square paper, and Feng Che suddenly whispered. "Third child, most people don't agree to transport grain, you let them vote, isn't this lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot?" As he spoke, he glanced at Yang Yunrui again, "You and the boss insist on transporting grain to the capital, is it really necessary?" I think we didn't have food when we fought in and out of the Warat army? ”

Chen Xu lowered his voice and said, "Did I say that I would go public to sing the votes?" As for your second question, with your IQ, it's hard for me to explain it to you. ”

Feng Che nodded, and then said, "What do you mean?" Why am I listening to you so awkwardly? ”

Chen Xu: "......"

Meng Yao couldn't figure out why Chen Xu chose to vote publicly, wouldn't he really want to burn millions of stone grain in Tongzhou? Every time Meng Yao collects a vote, she will take a look, but the more she looks, the more worried she becomes.

Food is the foundation of survival, and it is a curse to burn so much grain in one fire.

Meng Yao uneasily handed the ballot to Chen Xu, and wanted to say something but felt that the occasion was wrong, so she sat down sullenly.

Chen Xu sang the vote, and Meng Yao was responsible for counting the vote.

"One ticket for transporting grain."

……

"One ticket for transporting grain."

"Burn a grain ticket."

"One ticket for transporting grain."

……

Meng Yao clearly remembered that the top piece of paper said to burn grain, but she didn't expect her husband to read it and turn it into transporting grain. Thinking about Chen Xu's "trick", her expression suddenly became light.

Chen Xu said whatever she said, she wrote whatever she wanted, which is called husband singing and wife following.

The result of the vote count was unexpected, and only five of the more than 20 people present at the meeting agreed to burn grain. Chen Xu has to find a notary public to notarize the ticket after singing, and there is a premise for being a notary public, and he must be highly respected. He sent the ballot to Wang Shangshu, the minister.

Wang Zhi didn't approve of burning grain, how could he break it?

Wang Shangshu proved that the counting was correct, Chen Xu took the ballot, and he was "careless" and the ballot fell into the basin. The handwriting of the brush was soaked in water, and the black mass was no longer recognizable.

"Lord Xiao Chen, regarding the transportation of grain, the household department can't take out so many silver taels."

According to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, Chen Xu's tiyì is obtained through guò. Jin Lian knew that Chen Xu was making trouble, and he threw out this most critical question in desperation.

Chen Xu couldn't help frowning, it's difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, who will do things for you without silver?

"Lord Jin, how many taels of silver can the household give?"

"Lord Xiao Chen, you have sent people to ask for money every day these days, and the treasury is empty, and you can't take out a tael of silver right now."

Jin Lian didn't deliberately make things difficult for Chen Xu, the imperial court used soldiers and was in urgent need of silver, Chen Xu spent money like water these days, and Jin Shangshu couldn't make up so much money if he tightened his belt.

After the meeting was adjourned, the officials attending the meeting left one after another.

"Third child, I'll go to the barracks."

After Yang Yunrui left, Chen Xu sat on the chair and picked his hair, silver, silver, he hated to turn himself into silver. Meng Yao saw that her husband was worried, and she massaged his forehead distressedly.

"Xianggong, don't worry, the silver matter will always be resolved."

Chen Xu looked at Meng Yao's face, and he put his backhand around her waist to make her sit on his lap. A woman who loves deeply can best relieve tension.

"Meng Yao, let me kiss my face."

Meng Yao looked at no one around, she pouted and brought her face to Chen Xu's mouth.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "bang".

"Third child, I have thought of a way to solve the urgent need." Feng Che went and returned, and he rushed to Chen Xu in a hurry. "In addition to gold and silver, we also have copper money, copper is not scarce, and there are copper molds in the household, so we can make money."

Meng Yao's face was originally flushed, and when she heard Feng Che's words, she couldn't help but say, "Xianggong, this method is really feasible." (To be continued......)
