Since the war started, the memorials in Jiayang Pass were sent to the capital two or three times a day.

And the emperor finally couldn't help but start to get angry.

"You see it yourself! Ministry of Revenue, this is how you raise military rations for my soldiers in Mingxia? Look at what you have sent to the soldiers! You still have the face to stand here and shout!"

After another round of courtiers' confrontation, the emperor was so angry that his face turned green.

The Minister of Revenue was trembling, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. The minister of the military food did not dare to be greedy at all, and he was indeed sent to the border."

Qin Dong stood up and sneered, "Yes, you dare not be greedy. But they are both borders, so why do you say that Hongyang Pass receives all fine grains, while Jiayang Pass receives all sweet potatoes and corn? If the soldiers only eat this, they will have the strength to fight?"

Two months ago, the emperor had already allowed Qin Dong to join the Ministry of War for training.

I am also qualified to attend court.

The Minister of Revenue is the in-laws of the Empress's family, so he is naturally on the side of the Seventh Prince.

"The prince is careful. I am not willing to be careless when doing things for the emperor and raising military rations for the soldiers. How dare I be careless? I dare not be even more selfish. Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly!"

Qin Dong was not willing to be outdone, "Yes, you must investigate clearly. Look at where the food from the Ministry of Revenue has gone. He is so tired that his fourth brother has to ask for food from the local wealthy businessmen. My royal face is simply being stepped on by people like you!"

If the emperor was just angry before, now he heard Qin Dong’s words, he would be furious!

"Dongzi, what did you just say?"

"Returning to the emperor, a few days before the war started, there were signs of food being cut off in the army, and the imperial court's military rations were not allowed to be allocated. The fourth brother had no choice but to entertain local gentry and wealthy businessmen in his private name. Fortunately, the local people were still very wise and donated grain and materials, but they barely collected food that would allow 50,000 soldiers to live an extra month."

These words are simply heartbreaking!

50,000 soldiers live one more month?

The Minister of Revenue was shocked.

Fortunately, my years of experience as an official is not fake, so I immediately started to think about it.

"The emperor clearly investigates. I really don't know why there is such a strange thing. I did give the people below the white rice and white flour. The prince of Jin's prince said nothing and said nothing. This time, he slandered me. I would like to ask the emperor to investigate!"

After saying that, he kowtowed heavily in the hall, as if he was so innocent.

Qin Dong snorted and didn't speak anymore.

However, a small official who was barely qualified to attend court stood up tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report!"

The emperor glanced at him and said, "Tell me."

"As we all know, Weichen was born in a poor family, and his father and mother still live in the village, less than fifty miles away from the capital. A few days ago, Weichen returned to the village to visit his parents and accidentally found several letters from his family. Weichen was frightened and did not dare to be careless, so he quickly went to the nearby village to inquire. Now he is also invited to the emperor to visit him."

The thick letters from home made everyone understand what this was.

The emperor winked and the general manager immediately went down to take it.
