Hearing the word silver, Chu Tianyu's eyes flashed with greed.
He asked, "Teacher, does it cost a lot of silver to raise a warhorse?"
Yuan Zhen saw the greed in Chu Tianyu's eyes and calmly raised his eyebrows, saying, "Of course, the number of warhorses represents a country's military strength. The one who has the horse's back controls the world. Warhorses are the most important strategic resource to protect the country, so it costs a lot of money. "
"Costs a lot of money? Isn't it just raising a horse? How much money can it cost? "Chu Tianyu's face was full of unwillingness.
This horse was just an animal. Could it be that it cost more than raising people?
Yuan Zhen said, "First Prince, you don't know, but the cost of raising a horse for a year is enough to raise twenty people!"
"It can't be? Could it be that a human's life is cheaper than an animal's? "Chu Tianyu didn't dare to imagine.
Seeing Chu Tianyu's reaction, Yuan Zhen knew that this Chu Tianyu was a big pussy.
If he had a little understanding, he would know these principles.
But ever since Chu Tianyu took over the military horse farm, he didn't care about these problems.
He left everything to his subordinates to handle, and he himself was a shopkeeper who didn't do anything. Every day, he only knew how to eat, drink, and play, indulging in sensual pleasures. How could he understand these principles?
If this kind of person handed the country to him, it would only cause endless harm.
Now, Yuan Zhen felt more and more that his choice was correct.
The country of Chu must be handed over to The Emperor of Li, this kind of person with great talent and bold vision. If it was handed over to a scourge like Chu Tianyu, the ones to suffer would be the common people.
Seeing the greed in Chu Tianyu's eyes, a dark light flashed in his eyes, saying, "First Prince, it's not that a human's life is cheaper than an animal's, but that with our country's climate and conditions, it's not suitable to raise horses. These horses were all imported from abroad. They can't adapt to our climate and conditions and die easily, so feeding them is very expensive. "
As he spoke, he pointed at the pile of fodder in front of him, saying, "For example, this pile of fodder. Don't look at the amount, just this pile alone costs five thousand taels of silver."
"What? Just this pile of lousy fodder costs five thousand taels of silver? "Chu Tianyu's eyes turned, a sharp light flashing in them.
Just a pile of fodder cost five thousand taels of silver. Would this money be embezzled?
If others could embezzle money, perhaps he could too.
Yuan Zhen keenly caught Chu Tianyu's gaze. He rolled his eyes and said, "These warhorses are very picky. The fodder they eat has to be especially fine, the quality has to be high, and the nutrition has to be complete. This month, we've spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just to buy fodder. "
"What? Hundreds of thousands of silver taels a month? "Chu Tianyu was shocked.
He curled his lips in disdain.
Just this pile of lousy fodder cost so much money?
He couldn't see anything special about the fodder.
He didn't believe that only high-quality fodder could be used to feed these horses. They were just animals, so what fodder couldn't they be fed?
Perhaps the people at the military stables were trying to cheat Imperial Father out of his money.
At this time, he saw a large number of saddles and stirrups in front of him. He said, "Then, these saddles won't be very expensive, right?"
"These harnesses are all made of high-quality materials, which are more expensive than fodder. Although raising horses costs a lot of money, only with a large number of warhorses can we increase our country's military strength. So, no matter how expensive it is, we have to raise them. We can't save a single cent. "Yuan Zhen said.
Hearing this, Chu Tianyu nodded on the surface, but his heart was filled with disdain.
He didn't believe that raising horses would cost so much money.
He was lacking money right now. Without money, no one would work for him.
Now that the military stables were under his management, if he replaced the high-quality fodder and harnesses with low-quality ones, then wouldn't he be able to embezzle money and fill his own pockets?
This way, he would have money to recruit more retainers and those retainers wouldn't run away!
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyu's heart was filled with joy.
Seeing Chu Tianyu's proud appearance, Yuan Zhen's lips curled into a cold smile.
-
The Emperor of Jin's manor's expenses were very large. Chu Tianyu was in urgent need of money, so after he made up his mind to embezzle, he called his trusted aide to do it.
Now that he was in charge of the military stables, he was in charge of where to buy fodder and what fodder to buy.
Originally, the military stables ordered fodder from the Zhu Family Ranch, but Chu Tianyu thought that the Zhu Family Ranch's fodder was too expensive, so he replaced it with the Gao Family Ranch's fodder.
The harnesses were also replaced with low-quality ones, so he embezzled all the money he saved.
In this way, he embezzled a lot of money.
After Yuan Zhen found out about this, he quickly sent a messenger pigeon to Chu Xuanchen.
When Chu Xuanchen saw the contents of the letter, his lips curled into a cold smile.
Chu Tianyu was really looking for trouble again!
Good, then he'll just wait and see.
This time, even if Chu Tianyu doesn't die, he'll lose half his life!

The Emperor of Li's Manor
At night, Chu Xuanchen was reading official documents in his study when Mo Li walked in. "Your Highness, something happened at the military stables!"
When Chu Xuanchen heard this, he wasn't nervous.
He put down the book and faintly raised his eyebrows, "What happened?"
Mo Li's expression was grave, "In order to embezzle money, Chu Tianyu replaced the high-quality fodder that the warhorses ate with low-quality fodder. After the warhorses ate the low-quality fodder, most of them had diarrhea, and more than a dozen horses even died. "
"Not only that, Chu Tianyu also replaced the high-quality harnesses with low-quality ones. When the soldiers were competing on horseback, their harnesses accidentally fell off and shattered, injuring several people."
Chu Xuanchen coldly narrowed his eyes. He had already expected this day to come.
Chu Tianyu was someone who would only look for trouble if he didn't seek it. They didn't need to do anything for Chu Tianyu to seek his own death.
He said in a low voice, "Mo Li, quickly go to the military stables and collect information on Chu Tianyu's embezzlement. After you've collected everything, hand it over to General Dong and have them impeach Chu Tianyu. This time, Wang wants Chu Tianyu to never be able to turn the tables again! "
"Yes, Your Highness." Mo Li said.
-
The next day, in the imperial court.
As soon as Hongyuan Emperor arrived, several generals led by Dong Chang Feng stepped forward to impeach Chu Tianyu.
Dong Chang Feng stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Emperor, this subject has a report."
"Approved." Hongyuan Emperor yawned and lightly said.
Seeing Hongyuan Emperor's listless appearance, Dong Chang Feng angrily shook his head in his heart and said, "Emperor, this subject wants to impeach the eldest prince."
"Tianyu? What happened to him? "As soon as he heard Chu Tianyu's name, Hongyuan Emperor's expression immediately became dignified.
His good-for-nothing son couldn't have done something bad again, right?
Dong Chang Feng sternly said, "Emperor, this subject received an urgent report last night, saying that more than a dozen warhorses died in our military stables. Not only that, a large number of horses also had diarrhea. This subject immediately rushed to the military stables to investigate, only to find that the warhorses' fodder had been replaced with inferior fodder. After the warhorses ate these inferior fodder, most of them fell sick, and the serious ones even died! "
"What?" Hongyuan Emperor stood up, his face became gloomy and terrifying.
