In the south of the Dayan Dynasty, there is also a large country, the Yue Kingdom.

Compared with Tan country and other small countries around it, this country is not very rich and powerful, because most of the country's land is full of mountains and forests, which are not suitable for farming or grazing, so people in this country can only They live mainly by hunting, supplemented by silkworms.

However, compared to their poverty and weakness, the vast territory and rich products of the Yan Dynasty became fat in their eyes, and they plundered across the border from time to time.

The most plundered are actually people and food, after all, their country cannot be self-sufficient at all.

Compared with the aggressive Tan Kingdom in the north, which has been invaded several times by large armies, the behavior of Yue Kingdom is like a child scratching someone with a branch. Although it is uncomfortable, there is no way to beat it, because its territory is full of In the mountains and forests, once the Great Yan sends troops, it is easy to be trapped by the harsh geographical environment and return without success.

There have been such lessons several times before.

As soon as Zhu Feng heard about the Yue Kingdom, his heart was on fire: "What are they doing again?"

Jian Ruocheng said: "They crossed the border, burned down half of the city in Yongzhou, took away half a million shi of food from the border town, and there were some casualties. They are currently-"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Feng's fists were already clenched, and his finger bones were crackling.

Jian Ruocheng had seen him angry before, so he stopped talking at this moment.

Nan Yan thought for a while, and immediately stepped aside, wanting to make him a cup of tea to calm down his anger. Xiao Shunzi, who had been standing behind the emperor and serving him, also came to help, Zhu Feng frowned, and only glanced out of the corner of his eye, coldly He said coldly, "No need, I don't want to drink tea."

As soon as Nan Yan touched the teacup, she stopped.

Xiao Shunzi froze for a moment, looked at him, then at the emperor, and wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to speak after all.

The Hall of Martial Heroes fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Zhu Feng said coldly, "Yongzhou is the fiefdom of Prince Jing."

Jian Ruocheng said: "Yes."

"Prince Jing wrote about this matter, what else did he say?"

"Prince Jing also said that rebuilding the damaged city requires at least 10 million taels of silver. In addition, horses and troops need to be recruited from the imperial court to strengthen the defense of Yongzhou."

Zhu Feng laughed angrily: "As a prince, he asks the court for tens of thousands of shi of grain, tens of thousands of guan of money, horses, silk, tea, and even the prince's guards. Now, Yongzhou is burned. Half the city, he reached out to the court again."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at the "Da Yan Tong Bao" on the table beside him, and said with a sneer, "It seems that I minted these new coins for them."

Nan Yan frowned slightly as she listened on the sidelines.

In the past, she only worked as a selection servant and maid of honor. She had no idea that the imperial court still had to bear so many things. The imperial court was like a bullock cart with a mountain of haystacks on it, and there were people sitting on it to enjoy themselves.

Ye Zheng hurried over and said softly: "The emperor calm down."

Zhu Feng waved his hand, pretending not to be angry, but seeing the veins on both sides of his forehead bulging, he was obviously very angry.

He suddenly said: "Jian Youcheng, you came to report this matter, don't you have anything to say?"

Jian Ruocheng was silent for a while, and said: "I dare not speak out about the crime of alienating flesh and blood."
