Chapter 2712 An accident at the military horse farm
As soon as he heard the word silver, a trace of greed flashed in Chu Tianyu's eyes.
He asked, "Sir, does it cost a lot of money to raise a war horse?"
Yuan Zhen saw the greed in Chu Tianyu's eyes, and frowned calmly, saying: "Of course, the number of war horses represents the military strength of a country. The one who rides the horse will win the world, and the war horses will protect the country."
It is the most important strategic material for defending the country, so it is very expensive."
"It's very expensive? It's just raising a horse. How much does it cost?" Chu Tianyu looked unconvinced.
This horse is just a beast, is it more expensive to raise than a human?
Yuan Zhen said: "First Prince, you don't know something. The cost of raising a horse for one year is enough to feed more than twenty people!"
"No way? Is the life of a human being worth less than the life of an animal?" Chu Tianyu couldn't imagine it.
Seeing Chu Tianyu's reaction, Yuan Zhen knew that this Chu Tianyu was a big pustule.
If he knew a little bit, he would know these principles.
But since Chu Tianyu took over the military horse farm, he didn't care about these issues at all.
He leaves everything to the people below him to handle, while he himself acts as a hands-off shopkeeper. He only knows how to eat, drink, have fun and indulge in sex every day. How can he understand these principles.
If such a person leaves the country in his hands, he will only cause endless harm.
Now Yuan Zhen feels more and more that her choice is the right one.
The Kingdom of Chu must be left in the hands of a talented and strategic person like King Li. If it is handed over to a disaster like Chu Tianyu, the people will suffer.
Seeing the greed in Chu Tianyu's eyes, a dark glint flashed in his eyes and he said: "First Prince, it's not that human life is worth less than the life of animals, but because of the climate conditions in our country, it is not suitable for raising horses at all.
These horses are imported from abroad. They are not adapted to the climate and conditions here and die easily, so it is very expensive to feed them."
As he said that, he pointed to the pile of hay in front of him and said: "Just like this pile of hay, although the quantity is small, this pile alone costs five thousand taels of silver."
"What? Just this pile of scrap fodder, it costs five thousand taels of silver?" Chu Tianyu rolled his eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
Just a pile of fodder costs 5,000 taels. Will this money be withheld?
If others can withhold money, maybe he can too.
Yuan Zhen keenly caught Chu Tianyu's eyes. He rolled his eyes and said: "These war horses have very picky mouths. The fodder they eat must be particularly fine, high quality, and nutritionally complete. This month
Just buying fodder will cost us hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."
"What? Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a month?" Chu Tianyu was shocked.
He curled his lips disdainfully.
Just this pile of scrap fodder, so much money?
He didn't see anything special about the fodder.
He didn't believe that these horses had to be fed with high-quality fodder. They were just livestock, so what kind of fodder was not used?
Maybe the people at the military horse farm said this in order to defraud the father of his money.
At this time, he saw a large number of saddles and stirrups in front of him and said, "Aren't these harnesses also very expensive?"
"These horse gear are made of high-quality materials and are more expensive than fodder. Although raising horses is expensive, only by having a large number of war horses can our country's military strength be improved, so no matter how much money is spent, we must raise them. Here
You can't save a penny on it," Yuan Zhen said.
Hearing this, Chu Tianyu nodded on the surface, but dismissed it in his heart.
He didn't believe it cost so much to raise a horse.
He is short of money now. Without money, no one will do things for him.
Now that the military horse farm is under his management, if he replaces all the high-quality fodder and horse gear with inferior ones, wouldn't he be able to embezzle money from it and line his own pockets?
In this way, he will have money to recruit more customers, and those customers will not run away again!
Thinking of this, Chu Tianyu felt happy.
Seeing Chu Tianyu's proud look, Yuan Zhen's lips curled up with a chill.
-
The expenses of the Jin Palace were very high, and Chu Tianyu was in urgent need of money, so after he made up his mind to embezzle, he asked his confidants to handle the matter.
Now he is in charge of the military horse farm, and he decides where to buy fodder and what fodder to buy.
Originally, the military horse farm ordered fodder from Zhu's Ranch, but Chu Tianyu thought the fodder from Zhu's Ranch was expensive, so he replaced it with low-quality fodder from Gao's Ranch.
He also replaced all the harness with inferior quality ones, and all the money he saved was embezzled by him.
In this way, he embezzled a lot of money.
After Yuan Zhen learned about this, she quickly told Chu Xuanchen through Fei Ge.
When Chu Xuanchen saw the contents of the letter, his lips curled up coldly.
Chu Tianyu really started to seek death again!
Well, then he will wait and see what happens.
This time, even if Chu Tianyu doesn't die, he still has to get rid of half of his life!

Prince Li's Mansion
"Your Majesty, something happened at the military horse farm!" It was night, when Chu Xuanchen was reading official documents in the study, Mo Li walked in.
Chu Xuanchen was not nervous when he heard this.
He put down the book and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What happened?"
Mo Li looked solemn, "In order to embezzle money, Chu Tianyu replaced all the high-quality forage that the war horses ate with inferior forage. After the war horses ate the inferior forage, most of them suffered from diarrhea, and more than a dozen horses died."
"Not only that, Chu Tianyu also replaced all the best harnesses with inferior ones. When the soldiers were competing on horseback, the harnesses accidentally fell off and shattered, and several people were injured."
Chu Xuanchen narrowed his eyes coldly. He had expected this day.
Chu Tianyu is a person who is itching all over unless he wants to die. There is no need for them to do anything, Chu Tianyu will seek his own death.
He said in a deep voice: "Moli, go to the military horse farm quickly to collect information about Chu Tianyu's corruption. After collecting all the information, give it to General Dong and others and let them impeach Chu Tianyu. This time, I want Chu Tianyu to be impeached.
I can never turn over again!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Moli said.
-
The next day, in the court hall.
As soon as Emperor Hongyuan came to court, several generals headed by Dong Changfeng came forward and impeached Chu Tianyu.
Dong Changfeng stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, I have this to say."
"It's accurate." Emperor Hongyuan yawned and said calmly.
Seeing Emperor Hongyuan's listless look, Dong Changfeng shook his head angrily in his heart and said: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach the eldest prince."
"Tianyu? What happened to him?" Upon hearing Chu Tianyu's name, Emperor Hongyuan's expression immediately became serious.
His incompetent son wouldn't have done anything bad again, right?
Dong Changfeng said sternly: "Your Majesty, I received an urgent report last night that more than a dozen war horses died at our military horse farm. Not only that, but a large number of horses also had diarrhea. I immediately rushed to the military horse farm to investigate and found the fodder for the war horses.
They were all replaced with inferior fodder. After eating these inferior fodder, most of the war horses became sick, and some even died!"
"What?" Emperor Hongyuan stood up awkwardly, his face becoming gloomy and terrifying.
