Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Funan Kingdom, Phnom Penh.

Prime Minister Zhu Zheye hurriedly entered the palace to meet the monarch Libaduo, and gave him a news like a bolt from the blue.

The people of Chenla sent a surprise soldier to take a detour to attack the rear of the Funan Army's grain and grass at night, and burned hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass in the army...

When Li Ba Duo heard the bad news, his eyes darkened, his body shook a few times, and he almost passed out on the spot.

Although he has never heard of the fact that the three armies have not yet moved, food and grass go first, but he also knows what food and grass mean to an army that is fighting outside. After all, no matter how brave a soldier is, no matter how loyal he is to the country, he still has to open his mouth to eat. If the country cannot guarantee The supply of food and grass for the army can lead to the collapse of morale and chaos in the army, giving the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it, or it can cause the army to mutiny or even fight back.

"The despicable and shameless people from Chenla actually resorted to such insidious means to burn my food and grass and mess up the morale of our army... Ji Nusu is such a waste, it's useless for me to use him so much, and let the people of Chenla casually fire him So much food and grass have been burned!" At this moment, Li Baduo was in a state of disarray, completely lost the bearing that a monarch should have, and directly yelled at the Chenla people and the frontline generals.

Zhu Zheye sighed silently. He had read a lot of classics from the Central Plains, and he had also heard about what it means to be a soldier who never tires of deceit. It's all, it's not uncommon. It's not uncommon to blame Zi Neng for the incompetence of his generals, who didn't protect their own food and supplies, so that the Chenla people could take advantage of it.

But now it is useless to pursue the responsibility of the frontline generals. Now that the grain and grass are being burned, the morale of the frontline army is unstable. , the Funan army will collapse without a fight.

"My lord, since the Chenla people succeeded in sending people to burn our army's food and grass, the next step is to launch a counterattack against our army. We need to find a way to raise food and grass to send to the front line as soon as possible, otherwise once our army's food and grass are exhausted, the consequences will be disastrous."

"That's right, that's right, what the Prime Minister said is right. The top priority is to raise food and grass as soon as possible and send it to the front line. I will send people to buy food immediately." Li Patuo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, in his heart All of a sudden, he calmed down a lot. Now that the situation is critical, fortunately, there is still an old minister, Zhu Zheye, who is giving him advice and guiding him.

Fortunately, the weather in Funan has always been good and the weather is good, and the harvest is almost every year. Presumably, the people and businessmen still have a lot of surplus grain. , Enough to temporarily relieve the urgent needs of frontline soldiers.

Zhu Zheye nodded, and now it can only be like this. Fortunately, some time ago, Ningguo merchants bought special products at high prices in Funan Kingdom. A lot of food was sent to the front line.

But what Libaduo and Zhu Zheye couldn't think of was that someone in Phnom Penh City had heard the news that the food and grass of the frontline army had been burned. The Chenla people would call at any time, and rumors spread all over the capital. , It is even rumored that the Chenla people have defeated the Funan army on the front line and are about to approach the city of Phnom Penh. The people are panic-stricken and everyone is in danger.

Under such circumstances, the common people began to spontaneously snap up food on the market. After all, once the people of Chenla really came to fight, they would only have food in their hands to save their lives.

Fortunately, some time ago, everyone made a lot of money by selling Funan specialties to Ningguo merchants, enough to buy a lot of food for their families.

But what no one expected was that when many people rushed to the grain store to buy life-saving grain, they were told that there was no grain to sell in the grain store, and they asked several times in succession.

Panic and anger began to spread, and many people thought that these businessmen saw that everyone was rushing to buy food, and planned to hoard it to make a fortune.

Seeing that no matter what they said, these profiteers refused to sell grain. I don't know who took the lead. The people began to spontaneously smash, loot and burn every grain store in the city. But what made them desperate was that the grain merchants did not lie to them. There are almost few shops and warehouses left in every house, or even empty.

The merchants also want to cry without tears. At the beginning, it was rumored everywhere that Ningguo would migrate a large number of Han people to the hometown of Linyiguo. The grain production increased sharply, and the price of grain would drop to worthless. They all sold a large amount of grain in their hands. At that time, I was still rejoicing that someone was willing to take over the whole thing. I didn't expect that the situation has changed suddenly, and there is not much food in such a huge capital.

The common people were in despair carrying heavy money bags one by one. They couldn't buy food to eat, no matter how much money they had, they couldn't eat.

But what makes them even more desperate is that the soaring price of food has led to soaring prices, but at a critical moment, no one dares to sell anything easily. As a result, the currency of Funan Kingdom has depreciated sharply. When it comes to a bucket of rice, even thousands of pennies can't buy a bucket of rice.

Everyone now suddenly finds that the Funan copper coins that they have been accumulating so hard have turned into a pile of inedible and unusable scrap copper and rotten iron, completely thrown into their hands.

The anger of the people was finally unstoppable, and riots began to break out in the city. Many people began to spontaneously attack the wealthy households in the city in groups, and looted their food. I don't want to take a second look.

What's more serious is that even the officers and soldiers sent to suppress the riots began to mutiny and cause trouble, because Funan Kingdom gave them military salaries in copper coins. Now food is scarce and copper coins are worthless. They and their families will not be able to survive. up.

Today's Phnom Penh City has become a mess. What's even more frightening is that the news has spread and the riots have begun to spread outside Phnom Penh City. The house leaked and it rained all night, and news came from the front line. The Funan army's morale is not stable, and they are attacking aggressively, and they are about to be unable to hold on...

The entire Funan country has fallen into a precarious situation.

The monarchs and ministers of the Funan Kingdom were also at a loss for what to do about it. Li Patuo also sent people to the nearby Siam Kingdom to buy food from them to survive the crisis, but he was also told that the grain depot of the Siam Kingdom also caught fire for no reason, and they themselves were food shortages. If there is a shortage, I still want to buy food from Funan Kingdom.

Li Baduo had no choice but to send people to the hometown of Linyi Kingdom, which is now Jiuzhen County and Rinan County in Daning, to buy grain, but was told by the local government that the governor had ordered that the sale of grain to other countries was strictly prohibited, and they did not dare to disobey the order.

When the matter developed to this point, no matter how stupid Li Baduo was, he understood that the people of Ningguo were behind it all.
