The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

The crowd lowered their heads and fell into deep worry and thought.

Even Xue Xingchen didn't speak again.

Qi Ji turned around and bowed deeply to Jian Rin Sakura, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for the offensive words just now, I just want to remind you that until this premise is resolved, there is no point in talking about any war." ”

"No, you're saying it well." Kenrin Sakura smiled with satisfaction, then calmly glanced at the crowd and said with supreme majesty, "War is always the last and worst means of being the least efficient and more costly. ”

"However, there has not really been a war yet, and we have given up on the speculation of a veteran?" Some people questioned.

"yes, isn't that cowardice before ...... fight?"

"Shut up!" Xue Xingchen shouted.

The entire hall was silent.

"Those who have never been on the battlefield, never question the dead soldiers who were born and died and guarded you with their lives, unless you also go into battle yourself!"

As soon as he said this, everyone gasped, and even a few people moved their steps backwards slightly.

"The specific analysis of combat power, as well as the odds of victory against the Lijian Country, can only be determined when the generals and the metropolitan governors come." Kenrin Sakura comforted everyone bitterly.

"But again, as long as there is the slightest chance of a peaceful solution, we should not risk using the means of war."

She scanned the crowd with a determined gaze, "We need time. ”

"But we just don't have time!" Xue Xingchen looked at Jian Rin Sakura with a sharp gaze, "Are you going to wait in such humiliation for the outbreak of the food crisis, waiting for millions of people to starve to death, and then use their hands to overthrow your high throne?" ”

When he asked these words, Guo Kaiyu, who sensed that something was wrong, silently took a step back.

If the contradiction cannot be resolved externally, then according to the Dream Sword Country, no, it should be the traditional practice of all countries, that is, let all those who have accumulated food and wealth take out their own and share it.

As a representative of a large landowner and vassal, he didn't want to set himself on fire.

At this moment, Guo Kaiyu wished that he had disappeared, and everyone couldn't see him.

Kenrin Sakura frowned, "I know this is a dilemma, and today's dispute just exposes the two possibilities. I don't think it's been for nothing so far. ”

She laughed happily and looked at Xue Xingchen firmly, "Therefore, when the national crisis is at hand, it is the time when we need to unite. ”

Guo Kaiyu's heart jumped, and it happened that Her Majesty's gaze also took advantage of the situation.

"Let's first gather the rich people under their respective domains, count all the accumulated grain, distribute it, and then distribute some crop seeds that can be harvested quickly, and increase the number of people to expand the planting area. I will let a few people stay and agree on the specific implementation bill. “

She turned her gaze to Prime Minister Huo Jing (yes, he has now been promoted from the manager of finances to the minister of a country. ）

The other party also bowed slightly, smiling at His Majesty.

Although these contents are sketchy, they are at least the best solutions that a few of them can think of in a short period of time in the morning.

Guo Kaiyu let out a miserable scream in his heart.

He originally hoped that he could send troops to leave the Sword Country, on the one hand, to obtain resources and benefits, and on the other hand, to increase the king's dependence on vassals and landlords, so that these people could regain control of the voice after the implementation of the new tax law.

I didn't expect this to be the result in the end......

I don't know how I'm going to explain to those people when I go back.

Out of the corner of his eye, many of his colleagues who were in the same boat with him were glaring at him fiercely with eyes that wanted to kill him.

"Then, I will find a way to solve the problem of grain imports as soon as possible." Jian Rin Sakura restrained her smile, her face was majestic, and she looked like she was dominating the world.

"As for the war," she looked at Xue Xingchen, who was about to speak, "I have already sent a summons to the Metropolitan Governor and the General, and I will wait for them to arrive." ”

As her final decision fell, all the ministers looked at each other, and even a thousand words were choked back into their stomachs, and there was no way to speak.

"Your Majesty is wise."

The crowd waited and bowed to the ground.

……

When Emiya saw his female ticket again, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

By special invitation, the swordsmiths of the Chongjian Kingdom were granted permission to dine with Her Majesty the Empress.

While eating, Jian Rin Sakura didn't say a word, and her face was unusually gloomy.

It was obvious that she was not happy.

Emiya cast a pleading look at the surrounding maids, and asked the nearest person next to him with his mouth, "What's wrong with her?" ”

The other party stiffened as if he were facing a great enemy, and shook his head at him.

If you look at the others, it's basically the same expression.

Well, the atmosphere is about to explode.

Emiya helplessly lowered his head and ate the food in front of him, thinking quietly.

She wasn't like this in the morning, so if there was anything to change, it would be today's court meeting.

I don't know what those ministers said to her when she was in the court, which angered this majesty.

Moreover, the chopsticks he was outstretching out stopped halfway through.

Emiya frowned and looked at the food on the table uncomfortably.

Two plates of small dried fish, I don't know how much salt was put in them.

A plate of sauerkraut, well, I don't know how much salt was put in.

A pot of seaweed soup is a little lighter, but the splash in it is too clear, and there is almost no oil.

What's even more terrifying is that there is a series of dishes to go with rice, but there is not much rice.

Two or three potatoes plus a pot of steamed buns that are hard as a stone.

Oh my God, is this really a royal feast?

"What's wrong?" Ken Rin Sakura looked at him suspiciously, "I don't see you have much appetite. ”

"Nope." Emiya looked up, trying to squeeze out a smile, "I'm just thinking about what to eat first." “

He picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, and then took a bite of the small dried fish.

"By the way, have you been losing weight lately?" Emiya munched on the food in his mouth as he muttered, "Eat so lightly. ”

Hearing what he said, a trace of waves swelled in Kenrin Sakura's gloomy eyes.

She stopped the chopsticks in her hand and smiled hard, "I'm sorry to let you eat this kind of thing with me." ”

Emiya shook his head.

"We are short of food now, so from today we have ordered that food throughout the country should no longer be sold and purchased as a private commodity, and that relief food should be received on a per capita basis. As the ruler of a nation, I must lead by example. ”

Kenrin Sakura pursed her lips and looked at Emiya apologetically.

"I see."

He probably guessed why His Majesty was so upset.

"Emiya." The other party suddenly made a sound, startling him.

"Well, yes, Your Majesty."

"Don't ......" Jian Rin Sakura frowned, looking at the people around her with fear, although she didn't like Wei Gong to call her Your Majesty, but considering the current occasion, she could only do this first.

"I'll take you to a place when I'm done eating."
