"Oh, why?" asked His Majesty Osvid, looking at Mu Li's faction.

In a way, Suya's proposal is completely error-free, but it will be cumbersome to operate.

"Hmm...... Has Your Majesty ever heard of the 'marginal effect'?" Mu Li asked, his eyes searching around, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Osvid's surprised gaze, and casually picked up the leftover plate of dim sum on the table.

"Marginal effect? Is this a new word you invented?"

Mu Li grinned, pointed to the dim sum on the plate, and said, "The so-called marginal effect...... Take this plate of dim sum as an example, when you just asked someone to serve it to me, I was very happy, I just wanted to eat and eat, and I was in a very good mood, but as I ate more and more, this happy feeling became less and less, until now......" lightly threw the plate back on the table, "I am full, and now this plate of dim sum does not cause any pleasure for me, this is the marginal effect." ”

Osvid nodded while thinking about it, and said, "That makes sense, what does it have to do with sending troops?"

"I think this principle can be used in the military, in a war, after the investment of troops exceeds a certain scale......" Mu Li suddenly stopped, a satisfied smile bloomed on his face, and raised his hand to signal Osvid to listen carefully to the voice in the conference room.

Osvid was wondering when he heard the sound of the summer breeze coming clearly.

“...... After the number of troops exceeds a certain scale, the increase in the number of troops will not bring about a corresponding increase in our combat strength, but will drag down the development of the army's combat effectiveness and even seriously affect the logistical supply because of the increase in troops. As far as the current local war is concerned, we have invested enough troops......"

Osvid looked at Mu Li with a curious smile: "You two have discussed?"

"I'm tired of being a dog all the way back, and I don't have time to discuss it, okay?" Mu Li said miserably, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have explained to me these messy relationships in the empire just now." ”

"What about you...... Xia Feng has always rarely expressed his opinion clearly, which is really unusual. ”

Mu Li leaned back on the sofa with a scowl and smiled: "Xia Feng is too lazy to quarrel with them, as long as at the critical moment, the key place is enough to guide the direction of the discussion of the topic, I call it ...... Art...... Yes...... Heh......"

Osvid looked at Mu Li, who was beginning to be confused, the light in his pupils gradually faded, and there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, and he looked at the little girl next to him so seriously for the first time, and at the same time, he was shocked to find that his youngest son had already been unconsciously out of his control and cognition.

As if sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Mu Li squinted his eyes and waved his hand: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, I'm really tired and sleepy, just let me ...... Sleep a little ......."

Osvid's nerves, which had just tensed, couldn't help but relax, smiled self-deprecatingly, beckoned the waiter to cover Mu Li with a blanket, and continued to listen to the previous discussion.

"Fighting a war is nothing more than three things," said Elder Kayi, "money, this year's tax is more than enough to support this war; food, national warehouses, and the army are well stocked, and the problem is not big; and in terms of troops, the northern army has been fully engaged in the battle, so this time, I am also in favor of selecting elite troops to facilitate dispatch and action." ”

Some of the ministers nodded, some hesitated, and they were buzzing.

"Transferring an elite soldier from the Western Army in Naston Province is the fastest plan at the moment. An officer said.

"Mobilize the Western Army?" another officer objected, "Isn't that our own expansion of the war?"

"But now the elite of the Northern Army has its own tasks......"

The meeting was back in an infinite loop of bickering, but everyone knew it was almost over.

At this time, Xia Feng and Su Ya chatted as if no one was around.

"If Naston can go to the army, I'm not against it. Su Ya said with some excitement.

"It's a good thing to get a rare opportunity to exercise. Xia Feng said with a smile.

Naston is Suya's fiefdom, which belongs to the western army's control area, although because of his age, Suarez has not yet taken office in the fief, but he can win the opportunity for the army in his fief to make contributions, which is very beneficial to improve his prestige.

Unlike Xia Feng in the Otherworldly Province, Su Ya already has his own fiefdom, whether he is there or not, all the affairs of the fief are closely related to him, and although Xia Feng is in charge of the military and political affairs of the Otherworld, in fact, everything in the Otherworlds has nothing to do with him at all, in short, he is just helping Mu Li.

"In fact, there have been no large-scale wars in the country for many years, and many troops, including young generals and colonels, have slackened. Xia Feng continued nonchalantly, "I've heard that many armies have become casinos now, is that true?"

"Where can training compare to real warfare. Su Ya was a little annoyed, "If you can get them all to go to the battlefield, it's best to practice." ”

Xia Feng smiled: "You can mention this matter to my father." Ah, by the way, do you have any suggestions for transferring people from the Western Army? Don't wait a while to ask unprepared. ”

"Hey, hey, don't compare me to you, do you think I'm just like you and do nothing every day?" Su Ya said dissatisfiedly, "The Iron Blood Knights of Grey Castle are also the highest in the ranks of our entire empire's military establishment, which is enough for elite soldiers." ”

Xia Feng nodded lightly, and his smile deepened: "If you are a cavalryman, you have the best maneuverability, and it is indeed the first choice." ”

The two of them had a casual discussion without a match, and before they knew it, the meeting was over, everyone left one after another, and many things did not have a clear result.

Mu Li was woken up by the chaotic sound outside, opened his eyes in a daze, and found that His Majesty Osvid did not know when he had left, and replaced Hiss to guard him.

"Is it over?" Mu Li lifted the blanket covering her body, but the people around her changed but she didn't know, it seemed that she had been with Xia Feng for too long recently, and she had even lowered her vigilance.

"It should be over, the ministers are gone. Heath.

"Aha-" Mu Li shouted, jumped up and ran forward: "Great, I can finally go home......"

Hiss exclaimed, and when he wanted to stop him, Mu Li had already disappeared behind the door, leaving only his annoyed **.

"Xiao Fengfeng!" Mu Li rushed into the conference room without any scruples, and while greeting him, he bypassed the chaotic crowd and went straight to his familiar figure, jumping over in three steps and two steps and hugging Xia Feng's arm.

The abrupt intrusion naturally attracted a lot of strange eyes, but who Mu Li was, he didn't care at all.

"Xiao Fengfeng, I'm sleepy, take me home!"

Xia Feng's face stiffened, smiled apologetically at everyone around him, and reached out to take the little girl to the corner.

"Didn't you say you should go back first?"

Mu Li lazily threw himself into Xia Feng's arms, muttering dissatisfaction: "I don't want to go back alone......"

Xia Feng had a headache: "Long Er, go back first obediently, I won't finish it yet!"

"Huh?" Mu Li looked up stupidly, "No...... Is it all over?"

Turning his head to look at the ministers who had left, he was even more sure of the guess in his heart, but why did the two princes and the important ministers of the empire, such as Elder Kayi, Prime Minister, and Marshal, still not leave, and seemed to be still staring at him.

"Uh, I'm sorry......" Mu Li Mu apologized, and subconsciously hid in Xia Feng's arms, as if he was embarrassed, "You still want to continue?" muttered impatiently, "What did you do just now......?"

"Big things don't matter. Xia Feng smiled, hugged Mu Li hard, and said, "Good, go back and take a shower first, your body stinks!"

"Huh!?" Mu Li screamed, attracting everyone's attention again, because the meeting had ended, and several young people who were also waiting outside were also coming over to greet them warmly.

Kay and Edmonton left the back of the conference room with their dissatisfaction with the unruly young man, and then went straight to the main hall of the Hall of Justice, where His Majesty was probably already waiting.

It is customary for the emperor and important ministers to have a real decision after the regular meeting.

Mu Li greeted everyone casually, raised his arm and put it in front of his nose and sniffed it again, didn't it stink? It's just a little dusty. Just as he was about to ask Xia Feng to clarify, Su Ya had already called him away. Mu Li showed an ugly smile at Su Ya, and sat down on the seat next to him depressedly, damnable!

It's a real nuisance for them to do things!

The people who came to say hello were all Mu Li's acquaintances, because they were not enough to participate in the meeting, and now that the bigwigs are gone, the huge conference hall is occupied by them, and the atmosphere is also a lot more relaxed and pleasant, because of Mu Li's sudden appearance, the topic is inevitably around her.

"You've been away from Haina City for more than half a year, and you came back once last month and went to Tanta right away, and everyone didn't have time to get together, so you can't run away this time. ”

Am I familiar with you guys?" Mu Li smiled dryly at the people who spoke, these people, some of them were seniors they had met in the Royal Academy before (none of their contemporaries had yet graduated), and some were opponents of the Martial Arts Competition and the Phantom Beast Competition, and now they had begun to cultivate as the future of the Empire.

"Yes, you don't know, since you made a lot of noise at the engagement banquet of the Third Highness, there have been a lot of legends about you, and you are now a news person. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Mu Li raised her eyebrows incredulously, she trained a champion team and didn't become a newsmaker, but because of this kind of thing, everyone knew about it, why did she think it was so ridiculous?

"Xia Feng and I rushed back from the Duchy of Kragg, and we walked day and night for five days, and we were too tired to go with you. Mu Li told the truth and refused without hesitation.

"Five days and five nights, ...... That's half a month's journey under normal circumstances, Your Highness he...... Is it okay to be physical?"

"It's a quick march, hahaha!" Mu Li continued to smile perfunctorily.
