This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue!
And now, when the court is spending large amounts of money and grain, the Ministry of Revenue stays silent, allowing the court to keep causing trouble until a problem arises, then they just spread their hands: "See, I already warned you this would cause chaos, but you wouldn't believe me. Now you understand the consequences, right?"
This trick isn't complicated, but it's effective and deadly against Zhao Hong, a new sovereign who is still unfamiliar with governmental affairs...
And it's also difficult to catch them red-handed, after all, they are executing the emperor's orders.
Fang Ke listened, half-understanding, and after racking his brains for a moment, he asked, utterly puzzled, "But what's the point of them doing this? As soon as the grain supply is restored, the shortage will be relieved... Are they setting up such a big game just to spite His Majesty?"
"Well said!"
