Chapter 640: The Inscrutable Prince

Compared to the heavy snow in the western countries, the perennial sunny environment here in Edak is depraved.

Occasionally, there will be light rain for a few days......

Heavy rain in the desert is a lifesaver.

A rainy season can traditionally last for several days, and after these heavy rains many oases will replenish water, and for most oases in the desert, this time is the only time to replenish water, or wait for scattered rainfall.

Shaun doesn't go anywhere these days, either to relax in the palace or to see what new things Claude can use.

On the whole, as the prince of Jagon, Sean has not touched most of the things he can carry, and his reputation has reached an unprecedented peak on the way back from Kselk, but just when everyone is looking forward to what he can do, Sean seems to have suddenly disappeared from the public's reputation.

Many people can't help but be stunned for a few seconds when Prince Sean is mentioned after dinner.

Hiss~

That's true.

It's been a long time since I've heard from Prince Sean, and even the palace rarely hears from each other...... There seems to be no story about him in some of the recent policies that Jagon has enacted.

Even in the farther away cities, the story of the prince is only when he once walked through this place.

In fact, not only the public, but even many officials rarely see this Prince Sean in the main hall, and I thought that he would be more active after receiving the praise of the people this time, but on the occasional day in the main hall, he rarely spoke, and more listened.

Even when the Sun King asked him, he only gave an ordinary answer.

It was seldom to make his own remarks as before, or to try to get as much as possible in his favor, but the other two princes and princesses were more active.

But once there is no opposition from Sean, neither Prince Mudan nor Princess Seriya seems to be able to find a point to target.

It even turned into a pole for their siblings in many cases, or an argument between them and other ministers...... Prince Sean's role in it has become less of a matter anyway.

Many ministers hope that Prince Sean can stand up and preside over some of the affairs of the palace, but only a few people who know the political ecology of Jagon best can see the purpose of Prince Sean's doing.

During this time, the former minister Lubin has been presiding over the daily council of the main hall.

In fact, most of the content is repetitive,

This may also have something to do with the habits of the Jagon people, who are relatively laid-back people.

If you want to say that it has been verified since ancient times...... Because you are too diligent in the desert, too much work is more likely to consume the energy and water in the body, there are few oases in the desert area, and if you want to live, you must spend more time resting, so your children and grandchildren have such problems.

Anyway, this conclusion is said by those polymaths, and I don't know if it is true, but it basically reflects the situation in this country.

Therefore, there are not many discussions in the main hall, but each of them will be discussed for a long time, even several days......

Recently, there has been a long debate about whether to send troops to the east to strengthen the defenses.

The reason for this is that it has been reported that the eastern kingdoms seem to be training their soldiers secretly, and they have also bred a large number of flying dragons and ironclad cattle, although the number is not very large, but it is also worthy of Jiagong's attention.

Is it that these eastern countries are beginning to disobey discipline!

Of course, there are many voices of opposition......

The main reason is that it is time for the eastern countries to increase their troops again, and it is precisely because Jagon has increased his troops in the past two years when some soldiers have been killed in battles, so it will arouse the alarm of their country.

This is an inter-ministerial contest and should not be overly stressed!

The matter of sending troops for normal has been discussed for three days, and it will continue today.

Lubin still entered the imperial city on time every day as usual, and happened to meet an acquaintance at the gate.

"Master Brown. ”

The other party looked back and looked surprised when he saw Lubin.

"It's Lord Lubin, you're here so early today......

"Aren't you early, too? The two looked at each other and smiled.

Also as one of the imperial ministers with a clear division of labor, the two are in charge of different places, but their status is equal, only lower than the people of the royal family, because there are only a few of the Jiagong royal family, so the status of these people is actually equivalent to the entire people, but the power checks and balances each other, and they may not be able to let go!

Brown laughed, suddenly noticing the stack of scrolls that Lubin was holding in his hand.

"These are all proposals for today?"

"It's not all the same. ”

Every day, there will be many officials in the main hall, including the great nobles who live near the capital.

On weekdays, they will live close to the imperial city, and only when they are resting will they return to their nearby territories to live, including when they are old......

The people around didn't dare to say hello when they saw the two imperial ministers walking together, so they could only watch from a distance and follow.

"Speaking of which, does Lord Lubin think we should send more troops to the east this time?" Brown posed a question that everyone had been discussing lately.

"I think it should be, we have always been the head of the desert countries, and our status must not be underestimated by others, and the increase in troops is also to give the other party some warnings!" Lubin said casually.

"I don't know what Mr. Brown thinks......"

"Me?" Brown was deliberately stunned.

"I don't think so, but I think it's far easier to show goodwill to the eastern nations than to suppress them, and in the last two years we have been on an expedition to Zambutar and then encountered the events of the capital, and the subsequent crusade against pirates has caused a lot of losses...... Although it is only a flesh wound for us, it is still a wound, and it is not wise to intensify the confrontation on the border now. ”

Although it makes sense, these words have actually been said many times in the main hall.

The Sun King has not made up his mind, probably because he is ready to think again.

The main thing is economic...... Increasing the number of troops means expenses, but the cost of the army can bring a lot of local industries, and eventually their tax revenues will come back.

It takes an accurate calculation to calculate how much the real loss will be, or how much it can earn, requires an accurate calculation...... The Sun King is a wise emperor who does not make hasty decisions without thinking them through.

"Master Brown is right, but I have my insistence. ”

"Haha...... Anyway, the final decision is made by the Sun King. By the way, hasn't Lord Lubin met with Prince Sean recently?"

In a word, it finally provoked the topic that these two people really wanted to talk about.
