Chapter 125 Self-Raising Military Food
The next day, Qin Rubing went to the palace again to pay her respects to the Queen.
After meeting the Queen, Qin Rubing told her the countermeasures he and Chu Tiancheng had discussed.
"Mother, the prince wants to bypass the Ministry of Revenue and raise military rations on his own."
The Queen thought for a moment and said, "That's a good idea. Okay, I'll talk to the Emperor in person in a few days."
There is a rule in the palace that on the first and fifteenth day of every month, the emperor must spend the night in the queen's palace.
The queen is the master of the harem, and this is also the queen's right as the legal wife.
June 15th, at the time of Shen.
As night fell, the Queen's palace was filled with fragrance.
The Queen personally went into the kitchen and prepared some of the Emperor's favorite dishes, hoping to give him a surprise.
As soon as Emperor Dong arrived at the gate of the Queen's palace, he saw the Queen coming to greet him in her best attire.
The queen wore a gorgeous long dress with intricate patterns embroidered on the upper part, which complemented the hem of the skirt.
Her collar revealed her fair neck and collarbone, with elegant and charming lines.
Her hair was tied into a noble bun, adorned with exquisitely crafted jewels, sparkling with brilliant light.
Perhaps because of the beauty mask Qin Rubing gave her, the queen's facial skin became more delicate, tight, white and bright.
Her eye makeup is deep and charming, and her lips are painted with bright lipstick, exuding radiant charm.
Overall, the queen's dress fully demonstrated her beauty and nobility, which immediately attracted the emperor's attention.
When the Queen saw the Emperor, she immediately stepped forward with a smile and said gently and considerately:
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard all day. I have specially prepared some of your favorite meals for you. I hope you will enjoy your meal."
Emperor Dong laughed, took the Queen's hand and walked inside.
When I saw the table filled with my favorite food, I couldn't help but smile.
He looked at the queen gratefully, his eyes full of tenderness and joy.
After Dongdi sat down, he tasted the delicious food and felt extremely satisfied.
As he ate, he exclaimed: "Zichan, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time."
The queen smiled and responded: "As long as the emperor likes it, I will be satisfied."
During dinner, Emperor Dong and the Queen chatted about some family matters.
They shared each other's moods, interesting things in the palace, and their expectations for the future.
The whole atmosphere is warm and harmonious, making people feel the deep affection between couple.
After dinner, the Emperor Dong and the Queen sat together in the courtyard to admire the moon and enjoy the quiet time.
"Zichan, I think today's food is delicious." Emperor Dong said leisurely.
The queen smiled and told the maid to prepare a pot of good tea.
A moment later, a palace maid came over with an exquisite teapot and two teacups, placed them on the table, and skillfully filled a cup for each person.
Dongdi picked up the teacup and took a sip. The aroma of tea filled his nose, making him feel very comfortable and relaxed.
"This tea is really good," Dongdi praised, "It has a mellow taste and a fragrant aroma."
The queen glanced at the Emperor Dong, dismissed the palace maids at the right time, and said softly:
“Your Majesty, this is the new tea that Cheng’er specially sent people to pick from Luocheng.
The other day, Rubing came to the palace to see me, and Cheng'er asked her to bring her here."
"Well, Cheng'er is thoughtful." Dongdi nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty, Cheng'er really wants to share your worries.
Ru Bing said that Cheng Er told her that regarding the issue of food and grass, Cheng Er decided to raise all of it himself. "
"Oh? Is it true?" Dongdi was very interested when he heard it.
He did a quick calculation in his head.
The food and fodder problem was indeed a major headache for him.
To say that Wu Congshan was causing trouble is actually a small matter, and that is an understatement.
To put it in a broader sense, even if the prince went to war and Wu Congshan gave his full support, the food and grass would still be far from enough.
The total grain output of the Eastern Country is almost half less than that of the Southern Country, so raising military rations is indeed a difficult task.
What's more, military rations are a bottomless pit. No one knows how long this war will last. If military rations are not supplied, not only will the army on the front line be ineffective, but people will starve to death.
Although the people in the rear can donate food to the army, they cannot be left to starve.
So overall, the Eastern countries are not strong.
In terms of fighting alone, the soldiers of the Eastern Kingdom are definitely braver than those of the Southern Kingdom. Not only are they taller, but their war horses are also more powerful.
There is no problem with these, but the only shortcoming is food.
This is also the reason why the Eastern Emperor has been slow to make up his mind to select a head coach.
If we just talk about fighting, Chu Tiancheng is definitely stronger than Chu Tianxing, after all, he has combat experience.
But the issue of food is actually a disadvantage for both of them.
However, Chu Tianxing seemed a little better because of Wu Congshan's great help.
However, it would be a good thing if Chu Tiancheng could solve the food problem by raising grain from the public.
On the one hand, he must issue a military order that there must be no problems with military rations.
On the other hand, after he solves the problem himself, the food problem of the people in the country will not be affected by military rations.
Seeing that the Emperor had listened, the Queen nodded and said slowly:
"Cheng'er has already arranged everything, and was thinking of giving you a surprise in a few days. It's all my fault, I let it slip when I was so happy."
After the queen finished speaking, she chuckled to herself, her cheeks flushed.
The Emperor of the East grasped the Queen's hand, his voice trembling, "Zichan, Cheng'er helped me solve a big problem."
Hearing this, the queen slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tears, like two crystal clear gems, which made people feel pity for her.
Her eyes revealed a deep emotion, as if containing endless tenderness and love, which made people intoxicated.
Emperor Dong was attracted by these beautiful eyes. He was dazed for a moment and felt inexplicably moved.
At this moment, a faint blush appeared on the queen's face, as charming as the sunset in the sky.
Emperor Dong was fascinated by the appearance of the Queen. His gaze became softer and the affection in his eyes became more intense.
At this moment, the queen gently reached out her hand and stroked Dongdi's face.
Her fingers gently stroked Dongdi's cheek, as light as the breeze blowing across the lake.
Emperor Dong felt the Queen's tenderness and his heart melted instantly.
He held the queen's hand tightly, feeling the warmth from her fingertips.
The queen leaned gently into Dongdi's arms, and Dongdi couldn't help but hug the queen tightly in his arms and hugged her hard.
The queen's head rested on Dongdi's shoulder, her eyes looking forward, but not focusing on any object in front of her, but looking far away.
Her eyes were as deep as the sea, and slowly, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
