Chapter 94 Original Reason

Wang Ye listened to the fat quartermaster's words and snorted coldly, "Since you have been kicked by the Prime Minister's foot and figured out that the Prime Minister came here because of suit, then you can talk about it now. Is it because of cooperation?"

The fat quartermaster smiled and pointed to the tent with a pile of tattered armor and many damaged rotten clothes and said, "Is the Prime Minister here because of this?"

When Wang Ye heard this, he suddenly stood up in his chair and kicked the fat quartermaster again, but this time he didn't continue to kick, but his physical strength was really a little tired. After stepping down, he said angrily to the fat quartermaster, "You son of a bitch! I thought you were just a bucket who only knew how to eat and sleep, but now it seems that you can still understand the truth. Since you know that Prime Minister came here because of this, why didn't you do it well!? Don't you know that this matter was appointed by the emperor!? What a dog who doesn't know what death is!"

The fat quartermaster was ready to say what he understood in his heart, and then followed the bitter water in his heart. The prime minister understood the reason and would not blame himself. But he didn't expect that as soon as he said the words, he kicked himself again. The fat quartermaster with a sad face, got up on the ground and knelt down and said to Wang Ye, "It's wrong, Prime Minister! It's not a small thing to do. The little one also knew that the emperor's matter was the emperor's will to prepare for the soldiers who went on an expedition to calm down the chaos. The little one knows the powerful relationship in it. How dare he resist the decree and disrespect it? This protest is already a death penalty, not to mention that this matter is still done for the soldiers who went on the expedition. The small one is not for the emperor, but also for the sake of the soldiers who went on the expedition.

Wang Ye said angrily again, "Since you know that this matter was ordered by the emperor or for the soldiers who went on the expedition, if you can't do it well, you also know the powerful relationship. Then why is it so in this camp!? When I first came here, I didn't see anyone working here!?"

The fat quartermaster said, "Of course I know the powerful relationship. It's not that we don't want to get things done, but there are some things that the Prime Minister doesn't know! If these things are solved, the armored clothes used by the soldiers on the expedition will definitely be ready in a few days.

When Wang Ye saw this fat quartermaster's words, he also had some doubts in his heart. In fact, Wang Ye was also suspicious. There must be something mixed in it. Otherwise, how could he, a small quartermaster, dare to disobey the imperial edict? Do you think you have too much head? As for what the fat quartermaster said was for soldiers, Wang Ye directly ignored it. A quartermaster who knows all year round at a glance, do you still believe that he will do something for the country and the people? I guess I won't even think about it, let alone do it.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye felt that he had just had some impulse. But as a prime minister, it is not easy to show this misunderstanding in front of the subordinate, so it has lost the majesty and demeanor of this class. Still full of murder, he said to the fat quartermaster: "I also guess that you will not be bold enough to disobey the imperial edict. Since you said that there is a reason for this, you can tell me now and listen to the reason. If it is not big and not difficult to do, I will make the decision for you.

Wang Ye also wants to deal with this matter early so that the soldiers can go on an expedition quickly. After all, the rebels in the east will not wait for you to prepare combat supplies at home. After a long time, the emperor knew that his position as prime minister and even his life would not be guaranteed.

The fat quartermaster was overjoyed to hear the words. The prime minister finally made himself suffer everywhere. Hearing this tone, he would not care about his suffering. Even if he said, "I dare not hide the Prime Minister. Xuanyuan court and peace have been stable for decades, and this army has been relaxed for a long time. You must also know this Prime Minister.

Wang Ye nodded and motioned the fat quartermaster to continue.

The fat quartermaster said, "This army is already so loose, so don't talk about the heavy management of quartermasters behind us. Prime Minister, you saw that the armored clothes on our side are so ragged, but it is not much better elsewhere. I'm afraid that only the Firehead Army is normal. There's nothing we can do. People have to eat every day. It can't be abnormal. However, our man who manages armored clothing, as well as those arsenals and so on, have existed in name. The country has been stable for decades, and the army has been so lax, who can take care of these things?

When Wang Ye heard this, he sighed and said, "You said it well. Nowadays, some officials in the DPRK are used to living a stable life. Previously, there were no major events in the country. Every day, he encouraged the emperor to have fun, and he just wanted to sing at night. This country and the major events of the imperial court have been forgotten. The army is like this now, and we can't blame all the soldiers in your army. We feel that most of the responsibility is still in the hands of our group, but we don't know how to work for this country and the people, and only know that they are in the hands of officials who are happy all day long.

When the fat quartermaster saw that Wang Ye could understand the reason so well, he could still say it without concealment. At this time, he also gave birth to a state of awe to see Wang Ye. However, the matter of the officials in the court is not something that a small quartermaster can evaluate, so the fat quartermaster did not dare to follow Wang Ye's words, but continued: "After a long time, some things in the army need to be replaced and repaired. For example, the armored clothes in this camp and the bow and horse weapons in the arsenal need to repair the truth every once in a while. If they ignore it for a long time, they can't be used. Our officials who manage these things all know that these things need to be repaired and polished frequently.

Wang Ye was puzzled and said, "Since you know that these military supplies need to be repaired regularly, haven't you done this? That's what made this happen now?"

"Please also ask the Prime Minister to identify. The responsibility of us quartermasters is to manage these things well. How can we not know these? As the saying goes: It is difficult for a skillful woman to cook without rice. It's just that we can't do nothing about it if we don't provide money for polishing and repairing these materials. The previous officials could still get some repair funds, and the same was true when the subordinates first took office. But later, I gradually couldn't get it. Even if I got a little, the number was greatly reduced compared with before. In recent years, no silver has been sent to this barracks. These armored clothes, knives, guns and swords in the barracks have not been repaired and polished for several years, which is why they are like this.

The fat quartermaster finally met a senior official who had the ability to deal with this matter this time. Although he was a little unhappy and was kicked a few times and scolded, he still could not eliminate the determination of the fat quartermaster to take his heart. For the sake of this imperial army, I have only fished a little oil and water for the past few years. It is said that the logistics in this army is in charge of a lot of oil and water, and it is difficult to find someone to get a position with relatives, but it is not good luck. Compared with those of the predecessors, the oil and water in the pocket is really pitiful. Therefore, after being beaten and scolded by Wang Ye, the fat quartermaster should also insist on taking out the pain in his heart, not for anything else, just for the sake of his own pocket. For the sake of the country? Are you kidding? A small quartermaster has not yet established such a great, noble and sacred ideal. Only for your daily five buckets of rice is true.

Wang Ye listened to the complaint of the fat quartermaster and understood some of the reasons. But Wang Ye is also helpless. Such a thing can't be solved by holding one or two officials accountable. Wang Ye has been an official in this dynasty for decades and is well aware of these things. It's not that there is no silver liang from the top, but there are few officials at all levels left at the bottom. Now, according to the fat quartermaster, he can't go directly to the barracks.
