After seeing off the Minister of Civil Affairs, the little vassal king came back without seeing his father. He knew that he must have gone to the secret room. His father was touching the dragon chair again, one step closer to the goal. He was very happy and couldn't help laughing as he touched it:"Haha, Haha...it turned out that I wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone."

"Father, we are kings, how can we obey him?"Little vassal king

"Of course, we cannot leave it to the mercy of a single minister, but we still need the support of the ministers. We already have soldiers and horses, and with their support, it will be more secure.

The little vassal king said:"Father, is there any conspiracy?""

"Conspiracy is not possible. According to what I heard, the Minister of Dao was not very old, and his opinions in the court were at odds with theirs, which caused resistance. Those wily ministers had no way to deal with him, so they wanted to get rid of him, but they killed Dao. It's a pity that Shangshu is also a talented person."King of Yi vassal

"Does the father mean to recruit Daozhi? Will he come to Yifan?"

The King of Yi Fan seemed to have made a plan, and smiled and said:"The Yi Fan Kingdom will be here by then. I heard from the envoys that when the matter of asking for food was discussed at court, the Minister of Dao agreed to give them food. It was not complete. As the Minister of Libu said, without his support, this matter would not have gone so smoothly. I think the Minister of Dao is releasing goodwill to us."

"The Master of Tao has no friendship with us. Why is this?"

"Presumably the Minister of Dao is not optimistic about the future of Dongfu Country. Staying in Dongfu Country will not lead to a good life in the future. He should be planning for the future."King of Yi vassal

"My father is saying that he has no choice now, but if he recruits Daozhi, will the Minister of Civil Affairs and the others be unhappy?"

"The Minister of Dao hindered the affairs of those ministers in the court and was a thorn in their flesh. If he was allowed to go to the Yi Fan Kingdom to command the army, he would no longer hinder them, and there would be no essential contradiction. When the time comes, he would give the Minister It shouldn't be a big problem if we prepare some nice gifts, say some nice words, and give you enough face."King of Yi vassal

"I think that since we want to get the support of the officials and ministers, we should directly kill Dao. For his sake, offending several other ministers would not be worth the gain."

"We need to take a longer view and let you take charge of the army. General Ma criticized you a few times and even though you called him the nickname Ma Niangniang in public, you actually killed him. General Ma is a veteran and he is the only one who has been on the battlefield."King of Yi vassal

"He was always the son of a mother-in-law and couldn't keep up with his brains. With Xilu Kingdom's superior soldiers, he didn't need experience. Besides, the child was the commander-in-chief of the army. He made it difficult for the child to get off the stage. How to lead the army in the future, the child also established military prestige."The little vassal king explained

"Military prestige is not established in this way, it must be convinced by the soldiers, not by killing people."King of Yi vassal

"Isn't fighting just about killing people?"

"You, be more open-minded. If you want to be a king in the future, you should make your father feel at ease when handing over the country to you. And don’t be so harsh on your brothers and sisters. Your sister said something to you, but you actually forbade her. Leaving the house, this is too outrageous"

"She did not agree with her father's national policy, and she gathered some people in the house to praise the goodness of Dongfu country. The child was also afraid of causing some trouble before getting married."Little vassal king

"Although this is the truth, she is a woman. Although she doesn't understand anything, she is your sibling after all. How can you lock her up and let other brothers and sisters see you? If you want to find a way to make them serve you willingly, you must go to the west. King Lu learned from him, and the old prince, young prince, general Chaoran and others all devoted themselves to assisting King Xilu in managing the Blue Lake."King of Yi vassal

"What my father taught is"

"The support of those few ministers is only temporary. If the Minister of Dao can submit, he will always be of use to us. With him, we no longer even need the assistance of the Xilu Army."King of Yi vassal

"That's true, the Xilu Army is here, and our vassal army must obey their command."Little vassal king

"These are all trivial matters, and there is nothing we can do if we come or not leave."King of Yi vassal

"My father had foresight to collect their food, and then leave, wouldn't it be a bit dishonest?"

"This batch of grain is not a small amount for the Yi vassal. Can you find another reason? If there are ministers in the court who are causing trouble, and if the minister of the Ministry of War surrenders, the Dongfu Kingdom will definitely collapse. It doesn’t matter if there is no reasonable reason. There are people, food, and soldiers. A, haha...haha...it doesn't matter that the country of Dongfu is in dire straits."King of Yi vassal

"Father, the child is puzzled. At the banquet, I proposed to replace him with the Minister of Civil Affairs. Why did he laugh and say nothing? Doesn't he want to be king?"

"My father doesn’t know, maybe he wants to see us succeed before he acts."King of Yi vassal

"Father, how can he let his most beloved singer accompany him?"The little vassal king doesn't understand why the Minister of Civil Affairs is here to ask for our help. Why do we need to please him?"

"Why!"The King of Yi Fan sighed helplessly, and then said:"It's a pity to be a father. I reluctantly gave up my love for the sake of the country."

"A flower stuck in cow dung is really a waste."Little vassal king

"Son, this is your mind."The King of Yi Fan taught with some helplessness.

"A father’s mind is boundless and his children cannot match it. Children must learn from their father as a role model."

"Well, go and recruit the three ministers, and we will study the next strategy."King of Yi vassal

The Minister of Civil Affairs returned to Dongfu Kingdom very happily, and immediately reported the situation of the Yifan locust plague to King Dongfu. He claimed that he had personally inspected it and found that it was indeed serious. After his own hard lobbying, the Yifan King agreed to give half of it first, and then suggested Said:"Your Majesty, it is best to send another minister to deliver food.""

"Why is this?"

"To show our sincerity and also to appease them."Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs

"Well, that's okay, then I'll bother the Minister of Civil Affairs and make another trip."King Dongfu

"Your Majesty, it would be inappropriate for me to go again."Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs

"Oh, what's wrong?"King Dongfu

"The matter of money and food was originally in charge of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. Now that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not in the court, it is not enough to let the governor of Chenzhou move. The Minister of the Ministry of War is from Chenzhou and has a good relationship with the governor. It is more appropriate for him to deliver food on his behalf. Besides, in today's world, It is not as peaceful as in the past, and the journey may change, so it is reassuring to be escorted by the Minister of War."Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs

Hearing that the imperial court was going to transport grain to Yi Fan, but there was no food to transport in the warehouse, Su Su was very anxious. Before the new grain came down, the people would be lucky not to be hungry. What should I do? Su Su came to the camp in a panic. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard the sound inside.

"Now is the most chaotic moment in Dongfu Country"

"The world is in chaos, but the situation is excellent."

Then there was a burst of laughter. Su Su happened to hear their conversation at the door. She was very disappointed and turned around to leave. The noise was noticed. Li Lai came out and saw that it was Su Su. Su Su knew that this was not Dao's decision alone. Yes, she didn't understand why His Majesty did this and ignored the people of Dongfu. This was not the Majesty she knew in her heart. How could such a Majesty be supported by others? She didn't understand why Tao Zhi agreed with this matter.

Seeing Su Su's doubts Daozhi understood immediately and pointed into the distance:"Look, the scenery outside is so beautiful today."

Su Su glanced at it. How could she be in the mood to appreciate the scenery at this moment?

"When I went out for a walk, the courtyard was too dull and restrictive."

Su Su said nothing along the way, Daozhi tried to comfort:"Don't worry so much!"

"Worry? Is it useful to worry? The more chaotic the world is, the happier you will be, right?"SuIt broke out all of a sudden, and she never knew what Daozhi and the others wanted to do.

However, Dao Zhi stared at the land and seemed not to hear anything. He rubbed the soil for a while and touched the trees for a while. They came to a highland.

"You see, the same view is different when viewed from inside the house and from here."Daozhi.

Su Su was very angry, and then Daozhi continued to comfort:"We are ministers. After all, the things we can see from the position of ministers are limited. Your Majesty has His Majesty's considerations. You can't be suspicious just because you can't see clearly for a while. As a minister, Your Majesty will never ignore the people."

Su Su slowly calmed down and looked at the scenery in front of her, trying to find something, but she still didn't see any difference.

"Your Majesty has his own plans for providing food to Yi Fan, so you should leave it alone."Daozhi.

Then Daozhi walked down the hillside, touching the soil all the way, and asked:"Is the soil here different from other places?"

"The land here is very sticky and pure."In the past, Su Su and her junior sister often used soil to make earthen pots together, and they also studied soil. Su Su suddenly remembered the dream she had when she was in the hut, and said unconsciously:"This land can grow gold."

"Land this good is gold. Is it warmer this year than usual?"Tao Zhi.

Su Su grabbed the soil, rubbed it, put it in front of her nose and smelled it:"Indeed, summer will arrive early this year."

"It will be harvested early this year."Daozhi

"If you harvest early, there will still be a shortage of crops."Susu

"I heard that there is a Yuan Sitian in Dongfu State who knows a lot about grain cultivation. The increase in grain production in Dongfu State in recent years is all thanks to him. Although he is old and has retired from the court, his research on farmland cultivation has not stopped. , why don’t you pay a visit and invite Mr. Yuan over."
