Chapter 193: Find a way to solve the food problem in the northern border

While he was drinking tea, all the subordinate officials of Youyun City arrived.

After they met Yun Chenyu and Shen Li one by one, they each found a seat and sat down.

"Your Highness, you saw it when you came here. It's icy and snowy outside. The snow isn't that heavy in Youyun City, so it's hard for people to walk outside. The further you go towards the northern military camp, the harder it is to walk.

The spies just reported that the snow is still falling over there and is already one and a half men thick."

"Yes, Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to find a solution. We have thought of everything we can think of and done everything we can do. But it is indeed difficult to transport the food and fodder within ten days."

Hearing this, Yun Chenyu's face darkened and his originally relaxed brows instantly furrowed.

He glanced coldly at the officials present with a piercing gaze and said sternly, "Does the difficulty serve as an excuse for you to do nothing?"

The transport envoy, Lord Liu, sighed.

"Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to make a difference! We haven't missed a single thing that needs to be done.

Look, I've even sent people to shovel snow on the road leading to the barracks! But, as you know, the snow is incredibly thick, a full man and a half tall! And we don't even know where to put the shoveled snow.

They worked hard for half a day, but only managed to shovel out a ten-meter-long road.

At this rate, even if we were given another month, we wouldn't be able to reach the military camp!"

Another official exchanged glances with the prefect Luo Yimin as he spoke.

"Your Highness, in my humble opinion, this heavy snowfall is truly a natural disaster, absolutely beyond human control. Perhaps this is a will from Heaven?"

Think about it, to the almighty gods, aren't we humble mortals like ants? If the gods want to take someone's life, no matter how much we resist, it's useless.

"You bastard!" Yun Chenyu was immediately furious when he heard this. His eyes were wide open and he raised his big hand and slammed the table in front of him.

There was a loud "bang" sound, which shook the teacup on the table and splashed a lot of tea inside.

"Stop talking nonsense here and misleading the public with lies! This king has never believed in any nonsense or monsters. This king only believes in his own ability and judgment.

If I had believed in those illusory things about ghosts and gods, I would have died long ago, buried in a mountain of corpses!"

Yun Chenyu shouted angrily, his voice was like thunder, chilling to the bone.

After hearing Yun Chenyu's words, the officials all lowered their heads, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

At this time, Luo Yimin on the side narrowed his eyes slightly. Although there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, that smile looked so malicious and hypocritical.

He said respectfully to Yun Chenyu, "Your Highness, we, the humble ministers, have racked our brains to think of and do what we should do.

If you have any other instructions, please feel free to tell us and we will do our best to carry them out!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Chenyu glanced at Luo Yimin coldly.

At this moment, Luo Yimin's attitude was extremely respectful and his words were extremely gentle, making it impossible to find any fault with him at all.

However, Yun Chenyu knew very well in his heart that Luo Yimin, who was as cunning as a loach, was clearly throwing the problem back to him, the prince, cleverly.

But it doesn’t matter, Yun Chenyu thought to himself, let him be happy and free for a few more days.

When the time is right and we have caught him, we must eradicate him completely in one fell swoop.

Before coming, Xiao Jingyan had reported to him that the prefect of Youyun City was a man of Prime Minister Shen and the Crown Prince. He was a cunning and treacherous person who relied on his power to plunder the people's wealth. The people in the city had long been suffering.

Once he solves the food and grass problem for the 100,000-strong army, he will settle the account with Luo Yimin!

“How much salt is left in the city now?

"After all, using salt to melt snow is a good idea. If you can spread a lot of salt, it will definitely speed up the melting of snow.

Luo Yimin thought for a moment and then replied, "Your Highness, there are still about 100 kilograms of salt left in the warehouse."

One hundred pounds...

One hundred kilograms is too little, just a drop in the bucket.

It is absolutely impossible to store 100 kilograms of salt with such heavy snow now.

"Go buy some! Just buy as much salt as you can!"

"Yes."

Luo Yimin curled the corners of his lips. It was just buying salt. He would just buy some to get by.

Yun Chenyu pondered for a moment and said, "How many people are there in the government office? Send them all out to shovel the snow!"

Sprinkle some salt and add more people, and it will always be faster.

No matter what, we must use all the methods we can think of.

Luo Yimin's eyes rolled, and he said, "Your Highness, this is absolutely inappropriate! These yamen runners are responsible for guarding the government office on a daily basis. If we send them all out to shovel snow now, won't the entire government office become empty and defenseless? If any emergency or accident occurs in the city at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable. By then, the situation will probably get completely out of control and fall into chaos!"

"Is there any extremely valuable treasure hidden in your government office?"

Shen Li sat leisurely on a chair beside him, picked up a piece of exquisite dessert with his right hand, put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Facing Shen Li's questioning, Luo Yimin, who was standing below, couldn't help but sweat on his forehead. His eyes were a little evasive, and he replied in a whisper: "No...no."

As he spoke, his voice unconsciously lowered.

At this moment, Yun Chenyu said in a sharp tone, "What could be more important than the 100,000 soldiers guarding the border? Do you really want to sit back and watch these 100,000 soldiers starve and freeze to death in the ice and snow?"

Hearing this, Luo Yimin hurriedly bowed and explained in a panic, "No, no, no, I have absolutely no such intention."

If he were to be given such a title, not only would he lose his position as prefect, but even his life would be in jeopardy!
