Zhao Huan forced him to interrupt and said in a rough voice: "Come in first!"

Xu Churen was reluctant to go in, looking disgusted.

Today he is reporting to the emperor about food issues and the situation in the northwest and southwest.

As of now, the three most difficult problems facing the Song Dynasty are: one is the food problem, one is the southwest and the other is the northwest.

The local nobles in Jiaozhou in southwest have already surrendered to the court, but the newly enfeoffed Yue and Wei countries faced population migration and military food problems. The most serious problem was that the original nobles in Jiaozhou had the intention to collude with the enfeoffment.

In this way, the situation in the southwest is really messy.

And what about the northwest?

The plump Hetao Plain has entered the snow and ice. The grain production on the front line has dropped sharply in this season. A large amount of grain needs to be dispatched from Guanzhong, which has affected the canal transport to the capital this year.

For a moment, Xu Churen felt that it would be no good to defeat Xia Kingdom.

The Song Dynasty had to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources to manage, and also increase its troops to protect it.

Now, the border guards and the standing troops in the Northwest War Zone have reached as many as 300,000, making it the second largest war zone in the Song Dynasty after the Yanyun War Zone. The consequence is that it has become the bottomless pit for food consumption.

Moreover, the worst thing is that the barbarians on the grassland have already begun to bury grass valleys.

Yelu Dashi, who was shit, now asked for food and weapons again, and this time, the lion spoke up.

These questions are becoming more and more acute now. Emperor, why are you still in the mood to cook in the kitchen?

"Your Majesty, the front is urgent..."

"My pot is also very urgent!" Zhao Huan interrupted Xu Churen's words, "Dazai, stay aside first and see if I make you a delicacy that I have never eaten before!"
