Dongning Island, Dream City, Imperial Palace, Hall of Light.

As a minor crown prince, he was originally not qualified to handle government affairs, and the queen generally handled it on his behalf.

But last time, Wen Yi tried the vaccine and crowned him in advance, so that he had the qualifications to hold power from the Fa Li.

Therefore, at only 16 years old, he has already handled government affairs like an adult.

Although most of the time it was handled with the assistance of the Empress and the Auxiliary Minister, no one dared to ignore his opinions.

After a few months of training, he grew rapidly, and the childishness on his face gradually faded and was almost invisible.

At first, he still needed to be taught by hand, but now he can handle most things independently, and only consult with the Auxiliary Minister to solve major problems.

Of course, this does not mean that he can really be completely in charge, after all, he is only the crown prince and not the emperor, and his decrees need to be signed by the auxiliary ministers before they can take effect.

After receiving the order to send Wen Yi back urgently, he summoned his mother Xie Daoyun and the ministers.

"This is the will that my father just sent back, and the original battle plan has changed, so that the country can cooperate."

He handed the edict to Xie Daoyun, then to Xue Dayuan, and then returned to him after a circle.

"How do you think we should cooperate?"

Xue Dayuan was the first to speak: "The officials have already been prepared, a total of 35,900, and they can set off at any time. ”

"The key is the deployment of materials, the extension of the battle plan has a greater demand for materials, and more materials must be transferred to the Central Plains."

Wen Yuan turned his gaze to the three Shangshu of households, workers, and soldiers, and asked, "There is no problem with material reserves, right?" ”

Wu Yi replied: "Our food reserves are enough to feed 25 million people in the Central Plains for two years, and Your Highness doesn't need to worry. ”

Zhang Hong said: "The materials on the Ministry of Industry were originally prepared according to the standard of 500,000 people for one year, and they are still in continuous production, enough for the needs of the army. ”

Wei Ran finally said: "Everything else is fine, but the pressure of meat and pasture is a bit great. ”

"The grass is easy to solve, and the planting scale has been expanded, and the new grass will be harvested in three months. Mostly meat, which is only enough to last for three months at the current rate. ”

Wen Yuan said: "Three months? Not enough, far from enough, the Ministry of Industry must speed up the production of canned meat to supply the needs of the army. ”

Zhang Hong said helplessly: "Our livestock reserves are only so much, unless we do our best to fish." ”

Wen Yuan frowned and said, "Is there no other way?" Isn't there a lot of private livestock stock? ”

Wu Yi took the initiative to say: "Our population base is still too small, and the burden of meat for hundreds of thousands of troops is very large. ”

Wen Yuan also began to have a big head, how to solve this problem? Is it necessary to cut the rations of the fighters?

Not to mention that Wen Yitong disagreed, he didn't want to do it himself.

The soldiers were born and died, what happened to eating a meal of meat? If even this cannot be satisfied, he will be too incompetent as a prince.

But what if you don't cut rations? Fishing with all their might, regardless of long-term development, buying a large number of private livestock?

This approach can indeed solve the problem of meat in the short term, but what after this period of time?

If the war can be resolved in a short period of time, it will be forgotten, but looking at the current situation, there is no end to it in a year or two.

You have to think long-term.

What a dilemma, what to do?

Chai Ben opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Xie Daoyun with her eyes, and everyone knew that she wanted to train him, so she kept silent.

Wen Yuan thought about it for a while without the slightest clue, but instead made himself irritable.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said, "Let's talk about the transfer of troops to Lingnan first, which brigade do you say is better to send?" ”

On the contrary, the matter was relatively simple, and the decision was quickly made.

Then everyone discussed the plan for the transportation of materials and the steps for the transfer of officials, and the meeting was over.

Everyone left according to the plan and went their own way to deal with the mess they were responsible for.

After everyone left, Wen Yuan began to think about meat again.

Xie Daoyun shook his head, and finally spoke, "Do you know what mistakes you made today?" ”

Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "I...... Please give me advice. ”

Xie Daoyun said: "There is a saying that your father often hangs on his lips, leaving professional things to professional people to do. ”

"What you need to worry about is who to give the problem to, and how long it will take him to get it right, and to what extent, rather than worrying about being with someone like this."

Wen Yuan argued: "What can they do about this kind of thing? We can't force people to do it. ”

Xie Daoyun said: "How do you know that they have no way? Have you asked them? ”

Wen Yuan was speechless: "This ......"

"I know why you're doing this, to prove that you're smarter than everyone else, to impress everybody. You're right to think so, but you're doing it in the wrong way. ”

"No one is omnipotent, everyone has what he is good at and what he is not good at."

Xie Daoyun said bitterly: "You are the prince, you will be the emperor in the future, what you have to do is not to be smarter than your subordinates." ”

"It's about putting the right people in the right places and using their ingenuity. If you can do this, you are the Ming King, and everyone will surrender to you. ”

Wen Yuan seemed to understand and said, "But...... What does this have to do with tackling meat? ”

Xie Daoyun said angrily: "Why are you so confused, what you just said was in vain?" Ask, so many courtiers can always think of a way. ”

"The dozen or so people who attended the meeting just now know how to solve it except for you. But if you ask, it will be solved a long time ago. ”

Wen Yuan obviously didn't believe it, and said, "How is it possible, what can they do to solve it?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Why is there no way? The meat of an animal is meat, but the meat of a fish is not meat? ”

"The fish in the sea are inexhaustible, and if you set up a few more fishing teams, all problems will be solved."

"Ah, how did I forget that." Wen Yuan exclaimed, and then his face flushed.

Xie Daoyun said: "Now you know? People are sometimes easy to get into the horns, and they can't understand very simple questions, so the best way to do this is to ask other people. ”

"You are the crown prince, so you must learn to use the wisdom of your courtiers to help you solve problems, instead of making it difficult for yourself."

Wen Yuan suddenly realized and said, "Xie Niang's teachings, I understand." ”

Xie Daoyun said with relief: "It's good to understand, and it's not in vain for me to tell you so much." ”

Then her face changed, and she said solemnly: "But now there is something more serious, and you must be vigilant." ”

Wen Yuan said: "What's the matter?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Xian Yun and Yu Wang Yuanrong. ”

Wen Yuan said: "What's wrong with them, they dare to betray the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Xie Daoyun said: "If they dare to have different intentions, I will be relieved, I am afraid that they will have thoughts that they should not have." ”

Wen Yuan finally understood what she was going to say, and frowned: "What are you talking nonsense, the fourth brother and Xian Jieyu have always been very respectful to us. ”

Xie Daoyun glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "If there is no now, it does not mean that there will not be in the future, who will not be tempted in the face of the supreme position in the world?" ”

"Xian Yun is the high priest of 600,000 slang people, with a high status and powerful power. Now your father has allowed her to send troops to attack Lingnan, and then the military merits will be there. ”

"Do you think she'll be honest? Don't forget, she has always refused to enter the harem for the sake of power. ”

Wen Yuan's eyes flickered as if he was moved by her, and after a long time, he became firm again, and said, "I believe that the fourth brother will not do this." ”

"What if he had his mind? I have such a big first-mover advantage, if I am still compared to him, it will be my incompetence. ”

Xie Daoyun's lungs were about to explode, but before she could open her mouth to reprimand, she heard Wen Yuan say confidently:

"I am the crown prince of the empire, now and in the future."

Hearing this, Xie Daoyun was stunned for a while, and looked at his son's face carefully, three points were like his father, but seven points were more like himself, which made his appearance look handsome.

Although it is still a little immature, it can no longer hide the perseverance, self-confidence, and arrogance above, and this temperament is usually called Tianziqi when it appears in the king.

She smiled with relief, and before she knew it, her son had really grown up.

"If you know what to expect, I won't say anything."

After sending his mother away, he returned to the Hall of Light and stared at the seemingly ordinary seat on the main seat, Wen Yuan's eyes showed unconcealed desire.

Born in the royal family, how could he not know what this position meant.

No matter how well you disguise it in front of people, deep down you have an infinite desire for this position.

My father said that losing one's mind makes one stupid, and having no desire makes one lose the motivation to move forward. ’

But extreme sanity is the destruction of human nature, and excessive desires can turn people into demons, and the two must be balanced. ’

I will not harm anyone, but I will not allow anyone to covet what belongs to me. Fourth, I hope you don't think you shouldn't have it. ’

Only three people have sat in this position so far, Wen Yi, Xie Daoyun, and himself.

'The fourth person to sit in this position must have me decide......

"Squeak!" The sound of the door shaft turning sounded, accompanied by a crisp voice: "Little carp, I just made braised pig's trotters, can you taste it." ”

As she spoke, a tall and beautiful twenty-eight girl walked in, followed by two maids carrying food boxes.

It is Chai Miao, the eldest daughter of Chai Ben.

Wen Yuan was a little ridiculous, the fiancée in the script gave osmanthus cakes, lotus seed soup or something, she was good at sending braised pig's trotters, it didn't sound romantic at all.

But he took a bite and said, "I can trust your craftsmanship, and it must be delicious." ”

Chai Miao's eyes narrowed with joy: "I think so too." ”

Wen Yuan smiled dumbly.

Chai Miao came to him all the way, put away all the folds and the like on the table, and put aside a space, and put the steaming pig's trotters on it.

And then...... Naturally, she sat in the seat that represented the supreme being.

Wen Yuan: "......"

Chai Miao leaned to the side, patted the space that came out and said, "What are you doing in a daze, sit down and taste it." ”

Wen Yuan hurriedly said: "Oh, it's okay, I just remembered a little bit about government affairs." ”

Sitting down beside her, a faint fragrance came to his face, and his heart fluttered.

I couldn't help but look at her, the white and flawless face, and the perfect side curve, a burst of impulse arose in the bottom of my heart.

Chai Miao didn't notice it, pulled the plate to the side, and said, "Taste it quickly." ”

"Oh? Oh! Wen Yuan came back to his senses at this time, his face was a little hot, and he pretended to gnaw on pig's trotters to hide the panic in his heart.

didn't notice that the girl's pupils flashed with pride and cunning.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious, delicious." Wen Yuan didn't have the heart to care about this, he just subconsciously replied.

Chai Miao said with satisfaction: "That's good, I'll make it for you later." ”

After gnawing half of the pig's trotters, Wen Yuan finally regained his composure, remembered the question just now, and asked meaningfully, "What do you think of this chair?" ”

Chai Miao blinked her eyes and said, "It's not good, it's too big and a little hard, you can't lie down and be lazy, just change it someday." ”

"My chair is fine, why don't you move it over and change it?" No, no, no...... In that case, I won't have a chair, so I'd better find a craftsman to build a new one......"

Seeing that the more she talked, the more energetic she became, Wen Yuan shook his head and smiled.

What's wrong with me today, I was reminded by my mother and started to be nervous, and even she wanted to test it.

Speaking of which, she has often sat on this chair since she was a child, and sometimes adults have no time to take care of her when discussing political affairs. When she was tired of playing, she lay down on it and slept, I don't know how many times.

Wait, sleep?

His mouth that was gnawing on the pig's trotters stopped, and the impulse that had just risen quickly swelled.

Slowly putting the trotters down, he said to the maid, "Stand down, and let no one come near without my orders." ”

Soon there were only the two of them left in the hall, Chai Miao's eyes flickered, and he said, "What are you doing when you kick them out?" ”

Wen Yuan stared at her and said softly, "This chair is indeed uncomfortable, but it has a benefit. ”

Chai Miao subconsciously continued: "What benefits?" ”

Wen Yuan slowly approached her and said, "Wide enough, long enough......"

Chai Miao's eyes dodged, and said, "You...... What's wrong with you, the eyes are so scary. ”

Wen Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "Is it terrible, then why don't you run?" ”

Chai Miao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that she had been tricked, angry and ashamed, grabbed the pillow behind her and smashed it:

"Little carp, you bastard, bastard......"

Wen Yuan got up and ran, and the two of you chased me and started fighting.

After playing around for a while, he panted and said, "Okay, okay, stop, stop, I apologize for my mistake." ”

"Hmph, look at me telling my mother, it's good to have you." Chai Miao said angrily.

Wen Yuan smiled: "Do you really want to tell your mother?" Don't be afraid that she will laugh at you. ”

Chai Miao knotted: "You...... Bastard. ”

Wen Yuan put away his smile and said seriously, "You turned sixteen last month, right?" ”

Chai Miao's expression froze, and he lowered his head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Hmm." ”

Wen Yuan nodded, suddenly changed the topic and said something seemingly unrelated: "I really hope this war will end soon." ”
