Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 72

"Your Majesty! The Prime Minister is absolutely right. The imperial court's supplies have been looted. Nothing has been left within a ten-mile radius except for the common people. Are they planning to kill the surrounding merchants and nobles? This behavior is truly brutal!"

"Daliang is a country of etiquette. No matter what we do, we must abide by the rules and laws. We must not allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to act on his anger!"

"The transportation of materials requires the involvement of officials of different levels, so mistakes are inevitable. If we investigate each one individually and execute them all if we can't find the truth, it will inevitably cause unrest in the court and panic among the people!"

......

The officials echoed.

"Hmph! Sixth brother! I think you just want to unleash unrest in the court of Daliang. It would be best if there were chaos all over the world!"

Qin Mang took the opportunity to speak coldly and put a big hat on Qin Yu.

Qin Yu looked at Qin Mang as if he were an idiot. He really didn't know how he stood out among so many princes. His IQ was really disappointing!

If you want to be the crown prince, what's the point of winning over as many officials as possible? In the end, you still have to rely on the Emperor Liang's mood!

Even now, Qin Mang, the fool, still doesn’t understand what Emperor Liang really wants!

He was blindly trying to win over officials, which was actually an act of opposing Emperor Liang!

Qin Yu looked calm as he turned to Chen Zhong, the Flying Tiger Marquis. "Flying Tiger Marquis! What do you think of my proposal?"

Chen Zhong immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Highness's proposal really hits the nail on the head. Coming from a military background, I understand the hardships of the soldiers better than anyone else!"

"If His Royal Highness's proposal can be adopted, then the ratio of various supplies for the soldiers will be more reasonable. At the same time, the transportation of the court's supplies will ultimately benefit the soldiers!"

Flying Tiger Marquis Chen Zhong was very supportive of Qin Yu's proposal.

But he also has many concerns.

If Qin Yu's proposal was truly implemented, leading to resentment in the court and even chaos in the political situation, it would be a loss.

"Your Majesty! We all agree that what His Royal Highness says is reasonable. The current allocation of supplies is indeed unreasonable!"

"As an official in the court, he can make mistakes even in transporting supplies. What's the difference between him and a piece of trash? What qualifications does he have to serve in the court?"

"The bandits must be colluding with the surrounding merchants. Your Highness's proposal to destroy every blade of grass within a ten-mile radius may seem brutal, but it will be the most effective deterrent to these scoundrels!"

After Chen Zhong spoke, the generals stood up and expressed their support for Qin Yu.

"Father! You can see that this matter has its own difficulties. Officials in the court find it extremely difficult to transport supplies, and there will inevitably be omissions. And the soldiers in the army also have different needs for supplies!"

"Therefore, I propose to establish a new department called the Quartermaster Department. Three Quartermasters will be appointed to oversee the important affairs of the Quartermaster Department. These officers will rotate among the generals in the army!"

"The Quartermaster Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but it is also directly linked to the Ministry of Revenue. Whenever the army needs supplies, the Quartermaster Department will list them, calculate the required silver, and the Ministry of Revenue will allocate the funds!"

Qin Yu said in a deep voice.

The officials in the court had strong objections to the strict laws to protect the court supplies, and it was obviously impossible to force it through. Therefore, Qin Yu decided to bypass them and save the military supplies first.

"This is a good proposal. I hereby announce the establishment of the Quartermaster's Office. Chen Zhong, Marquis of Feihu, Wang Shouhu, General Hulie, and Lin Bu, General Langchong, will serve as Quartermasters. The silver raised from this fundraising campaign will be temporarily deposited into the national treasury. Within two weeks, investigate the conditions of each military camp, compile a statistical inventory of the military's supplies, and submit a report to me for review!"

After hearing Qin Yu's proposal, Emperor Liang said directly.

This quartermaster's office is truly amazing!

Once established, the Quartermaster Department can bypass officials from various state governments and directly dispatch military equipment and supplies. It can even be given certain military powers to allow them to send soldiers for transportation independently.

"We, your Majesty, will obey your orders and live up to your trust!"

Chen Zhong, Wang Shouhu and Lin Bu immediately knelt down to receive the order.

At the same time, the look he gave Qin Yu was full of gratitude!

The court of Daliang has always been dominated by civil officials. Military officers like them have almost no say. Every time they try to fight for the interests of the soldiers in the army, they will be rebutted by the civil officials.

Now that the Quartermaster Department is established, the interests of the soldiers in the army are protected.

"My dear ministers, if you have anything to report, you may begin submitting your petitions. If not, please adjourn the court and gather the silver within three days!"

Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The officials said one after another.

Immediately afterwards, those who had something to report began to submit memorials. After two hours, all the officials had submitted their memorials. When Emperor Liang announced the adjournment of the court, it was almost noon.

Qin Yu said he was very frustrated. He came before dawn and went back at noon. It might not be so difficult for office workers who work 996 in the future!

Will it be like this when I go to court in the future?

No!

Reform must be done!

When I become emperor, I will never attend court!

As soon as he reached the gate of the palace, Prime Minister Shangguan Xiong stopped Qin Yu.

"Your Highness! It's been four or five days now. Your anger should have subsided, right?"

Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.

"Hmm? Prime Minister, what do you mean? When did this prince get angry?"

Qin Yu looked at Shangguan Xiong with disdain and asked back.
