"Prince, the Imperial Court is becoming more and more excessive. The grains and forage sent to the Northern Land in recent years are decreasing, and now even the military salary is in severe shortage. Our Northern Land has a small population and chilly weather. Other places can grow crops twice a year, whereas here we can only grow for one season, and we can't even grow wheat and rice. If we only rely on our taxes, I'm afraid we won't be able to last for long." Another military general spoke angrily.
Chu Suifeng's brows furrowed slightly. The generals felt uneasy, and how could he not?
The Northern Land was his territory, and the late emperor decreed that neither he nor his descendants shall return to the capital. The emperor's recent decree was like stabbing him behind his back. With the Tatars lurking at the border, without provisions, would the Imperial Court not fear losing the fort or believe that losing a Northern Land does not matter to Daqin?
