Chapter 303 - 305: Bad News
"You know about Sister-in-law Li’s matter. The Mu Family Army’s provisions were washed away by thirty percent, and with the Mu Family Army’s deployment imminent, although Emperor Yongye is quite dissatisfied with the inefficiency of Prince Mu and his son, he will still prioritize the overall situation."
Dugu Wu had just returned from the palace, and he did not further inquire about the severe flooding Feng Bailing mentioned, giving Feng Bailing a sigh of relief.
Except for Hua Wushang and Dongfang Li, everyone agreed with Prince Mu’s statement, and after a moment of consideration, Emperor Yongye agreed to Prince Mu’s request.
"The Mu Family Army doing such things, the villagers cannot possibly provide them with military provisions again."
Feng Bailing said indignantly.
Moreover, if it weren’t for helping Dugu Wu, she wouldn’t have offered her help; she detests war.
In that lifetime, Emperor Yongye had suspicions towards their Princess’ Mansion.
This lifetime, although relations have improved somewhat, as long as she and her sons bear the blood of Beiqi, Emperor Yongye will always favor the old ministers he trusts.
"As it turns out, the villagers don’t need to provide military provisions anymore. Prince Mu and his son proposed to requisition the farmlands of Xinqi Village. They will plant the lost provisions themselves."
"Using the land of Xinqi Village? That cannot be without compensation. I need to debate this with the Emperor, that land was bestowed to my mother by the late Emperor, they can’t just declare requisitioning it, they must provide payment if they really wish to."
