The Prime Minister's room was full of people, including the four Imperial Internal Affairs Overseers, the General Staff Officer, the two Army Commanders, and the Prime Minister's wife, all of whom were full of anxiety.

Abu's transformed Cohen sat next to him very aggrieved, as if he had just been taught a lesson.

Vitamins. Al Qada nodded at Abu, "Speak!"

"Yes. Abu looked up and said, "Here are the words of the master. 」

The people in the room looked at Abu in astonishment.

"Guys, I'm going to go out. Abu's mouth was clear as he said what Cohen wanted him to convey, and even the expression on his face was vivid: "I don't care what people think of me. They say I'm irresponsible or impulsive, and I can't expect forgiveness from all of you. I'm just an ordinary person, I can't afford anything beyond my ability, and I can't change anything in the face of the current predicament, if I have any other way, I don't want to leave you, my family and friends. 」

"Because of me, Fichat is dead┅┅" Abu's deep voice was apologetic, "I've thought a lot about it these days, but I haven't thought of any good way, he's my brother, I don't know what to do without him┅┅ Now the troops can't attack, I can't implicate other innocent people for my revenge plan, I will avenge my brother in my own way." 」

"For me, Fischette represents more than just a friend, a majesty. Without him, a lot of what I do is meaningless, and even our dreams are connected. 」

"And now, even if I have a qiē in the world, what if I have no one to share my joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and it doesn't matter if I succeed or fail┅┅"

"Of course. I have family. I still have friends. But for various reasons, you still don't really understand me. The one who understands me is just a Fichette. 」

"I don't know what I'm going to do this time, I've never been so confused, I don't know what I'm after, I don't have a purpose┅┅ or it's a stupid thing again, but that's who I am. Cohen. Al Qaeda┅┅Forgive me, everyone, and thank you for your continued tolerance and humility towards me┅┅."

The people in the room bowed their heads and savored the words, which Cohen conveyed was irrational, but not unreasonable.

"I see, Uncle Viso. After a long time, Commander Moya looked up and said, "Let's keep looking!"

"It's difficult!" the prime minister shook his head, "He even had a stand-in ready before leaving, and besides, with his mind, can he let us find it? He will not come back until he has achieved his purpose. 」

"But father, it's very dangerous for him to go out like this!" Dill said. Merlin said eagerly, "He, he's only one man. 」

"I checked. He should be with his own guards. Carlos said, "This man of the rocks, who usually looks relatively stable, how can he be dizzy with him?"

"It's useless to say anything now. Minister Visu said, "Think about what can be done. 」

"It's imperative not to let anyone know that he's out, so that everyone thinks he's still in charge of the Dark City. Carlos replied, "I will immediately give Amaterasu an order to watch out for unusual events in the rebel forces. 」

"At the same time, an order should be given to Marfa to spread rumors and disturb the public in the rebel-strong areas. Philin added, "Let this impending event look like it was planned in advance, so that the rebels don't think about him." 」

"And this afternoon's meeting. Winsley glanced at Abu worriedly, "Your Majesty must come forward. 」

"I guess it's fine!" The Prime Minister also turned to look at Abu, "After all, even we were hidden, didn't we, Cohen?"

Abu's personality comes from Cohen, and in the face of his father, who even Cohen is in awe of, the smart Abu doesn't even dare to raise his head.

"Cohen. Visu walked up to Abu and touched Abu's head, "Cheer up and complete your mission." 」

"Hmm. 」

"You can't show such a shy expression in front of others!" Wei Su commanded softly, "Be like Cohen, heaven and earth are fearless. The better you do, the safer he is. 」

"Yes, Father, Father!"

"Now go back to your room and take a closer look at the letter he left for you. The Prime Minister said, "Be in good spirits for the afternoon meeting!"

"Got it. 」

Watching Cohen leave, Cathering couldn't help frowning, no one was more worried about her son than a mother.

Wei Su looked at his wife tenderly, comforted her, and said, "Don't worry! 」

"Maybe we didn't take his feelings into account. Cathering whispered, "He has always been so strong, who knew it would be like this this time, as his mother, I don't know when he changed. 」

"Either way, Cathering, you have to understand that Cohen is no longer the Cohen he was when he was a child. Visu sat down and said, "As he grows up, his mood has changed, and it's normal for him to be a little alienated from his parents. 」

"You talk, I'll go out for a walk. 」

"It's fine. Viso nodded and said, "We'll have to wait a while before we can get things done. 」

After Cathering left, Visu pulled out the letterhead Cohen had left behind from his pocket.

"What you hear now will be the most secret thing in the Empire at this stage. "From now on, I want you to realize that you are not only Cohen's friends, but also the most important ministers of the Empire. Among these two capacities, the status of the Imperial Minister is especially important!"

"Yes. The crowd agreed in unison.

"His Majesty the Emperor has two plans, one for the interior and one for the military, which details all the development goals for the period between now and next autumn. Wei Suyang raised the letter in his hand: "I have already read it cursoly, and it is quite difficult to complete these two proposals, and of course, it is not impossible with everyone's efforts. 」

"What kind of plan is it?" asked an anxious Hailt.

"Brigadier General Hailt, Your Majesty has a special order, for the sake of your impulsive character. You can't see the full text of this plan. Visu looked at the already famous general, "The only order you get is to follow the orders of the Chief of the General Staff, Carlos. Such as disobedience. The General Staff Officer has the power to remove you from office. 」

"I┅┅" Even Helt didn't dare to turn the sky in front of Wei Su: "I accept orders. 」

"From now on, the three military generals will return to the front line and hold the border, and the most important thing is to ensure that the Dark Province and the Dark Moon Province are not attacked. "The command of the front is to be taken over by the General Staff Officer Carlos, the Second and Third Army Corps to be placed under the command of the General Staff, and the First Army to defend the Dark Province as a general reserve. 」

"Yes!"

"As for the defense of the Darkmoon Province, General Martin is in charge, so you don't have to worry. Visu added, "Facing the main forces of the rebels. The three of you have a lot of responsibilities!"

"Uncle Wei Su don't worry. Moya, who had not spoken, said, "I will not let a rebel set foot on the land of the Dark Province. 」

"It's the same with me. Helt glanced at Carlos, "If a rebel soldier breaks through my lines, it's a dereliction of duty!"

"Of course, it's good to have fighting spirit, but we need to be careful, we can't afford to lose anymore┅┅Okay, let's go back with Cohen's letter to you!" Wei Su said, "As for military rations, we will try our best to solve it. The three of you don't have to attend the afternoon meeting of the Interior Department, rest and rest, and go straight back to the front tomorrow. 」

"Yes!"

The three generals went out, and Cohen's wife was left in the room.

"Father, Cohen made such a plan. Philin asked, "Is that just that?" He won't be back until next year's autumn harvest?"

"It won't be that long, will it?" Kelly was horrified by her sister's words.

"When he will return, who will know? Who knows what Cohen is thinking?" Wei Su sighed: "No matter who it is, anyway, he has a relationship with Cohen, and he doesn't want to live an ordinary life in this life┅┅ From the moment he landed, Cathering and I are used to being scared. On the contrary, the milks have to work hard again. 」

"Speaking of which, it's really not easy to be Cohen's wife!" Winsley shook Deere's hand, "Can you still hold it?"

"I'm fine. Dill forced himself and said, "I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly. 」

"This is the third time. Kelly said hatefully, "Sometimes I want to just leave him and leave him alone. 」

"This is an internal arrangement. After listening to the complaints of the daughters-in-law, Wei Su shook the letter in his hand: "In addition, the afternoon meeting is very important, and we have a lot of decrees that need to be communicated. In addition, food, grain is one of the most troublesome problems. 」

"Yes!" said Philine, nodding, "Food┅┅"

At this time, Eva. The Earl of Merlin also received the first order in his temporary residence. This order was given by the Imperial Department of the Interior, which ordered Eva. The Count of Merlin immediately reported to a certain department of the Interior Office for a not very important deputy.

Look at the order issued by the Minister of State, and the signatures of the four Interior Overseers, Eva. Merlin couldn't help but smile wryly. He didn't expect that his old bones would have a chance to enter the official career.

In the early years, before his wife died, Eva. Count Merlin is just a noble farmer in the Riva Empire, and in the Riva Empire, such farmers are not a hundred but eighty, and they are so ordinary that they can't be more ordinary.

The only obligation that Count Eva had to the royal family at that time was to be responsible for the royal family who had exhausted the delicious food in the world, providing coarse grains grown in the wild, and so on.

Compared with other imperial royal families, the royal family of the Riva Empire is quite interested in "eating", requiring unique dishes every day and every meal, in addition to paying attention to the combination of tastes. For royals who are accustomed to greasy food, dim sum made from whole grains is quite satisfying.

It is a simple coarse grain, but because it is for the members of the royal family, it must be specially cultivated and processed. Each kind of "coarse grain" dedicated to the royal family usually has dozens or hundreds of processes from the beginning of seed selection to harvest and storage. And there are so many wild crops that it takes a lot of time to master, so Count Iva has no other skills than knowledge of wild crops.

In the past, this was also an excuse for Count Iva not to help his daughter in business.

Come to mind, the original Diere. It is not for nothing that Miss Merlin chose to plant fruit trees when the mountains and rivers were at the end of her rope!

The Earl, who served as an attendant, changed into his official uniform and was presented with a beautifully packaged wooden box. Eva opened it and looked at it. It turned out that it was the one who had accompanied him for decades. A cane with a jewel at the top.

"This is sent by His Majesty. The chamberlain made a special statement.

The Count was noncommittal. In fact, in his heart, he was still dissatisfied with this son-in-law, but he still took the cane, what can he do?

The newly appointed guards to protect the Count were ready to leave, and Count Iva got into the carriage and sat down, and at the moment of departure, he was a little resistant to this matter in his heart, but in this resistance there was a little expectation, and a little bit of anxiety and worry about the "future". What official did not have such complicated thoughts in his heart? Hoping that he could do something in these troubled times, but also full of ambivalence about the future, the officials' carriages gathered in the square in front of the governor's palace.

After the officials were seated, Cohen in armor. Al Kaida walked into the venue with the prime minister and four internal affairs overseers. For Cohen's dress, the officials have long been surprised┅┅This is Cohen's most normal attire.

It can be seen that Cohen's affection is not very high, he first said the opening remarks of the meeting, and then handed over the responsibility of presiding over the meeting to the prime minister.

The matters that needed to be resolved were put on the table one by one, and the heads of various ministries and departments spoke one after another, and the staff and internal affairs superintendents also interjected. The problem was gradually solved—except for the one that no one wanted to ask.

"Today's agenda went very smoothly. He smiled and stood up, "Next, there is the most urgent problem in the province at present. Food!"

"As you know, because of the underestimation of the total population of the provinces, because of the large number of refugees coming in, and finally because of the devastation of the war, our food supply is very problematic. Minister Wei Su picked up an official document: "As for the lack of food, I don't think you have a clear idea. Then I will now tell you that until the first harvest of the next year, the people of the province will have two months of food shortage, and if they do not do so, a considerable number of people will starve to death in these two months. 」

"Yes, we have carefully liquidated the surplus food in our hands, and the army has halved the supply. Filine then said, "But it still can't fill the gap. 」

An official stood up and asked, "Is it possible to transport grain from abroad?"

"It's impossible, we need a huge amount of food, and the rebels have blockaded us. Philin replied, "We have sent letters to other divine kingdoms, but we have not yet received a reply from them. Personally, they won't sell us grain. 」

"What about other business channels?" someone asked, "Is there a way for the Universals side?"

"In fact, We've been hoarding food for a long time. Dill attended the meeting for the first time as an interior overseer. Merlin replied, "I haven't pulled down a grain of grain that I can hold on to, and it's already counted in the stockpile. 」

"It seems that a large-scale famine cannot be avoided," some of the officials sighed.

"In the current situation, we can do as much as we can!" Wei Su couldn't come up with any good solution: "First of all, explain the situation to the people, let them make good arrangements for food rations, pay attention to saving from now on, or combine it with other edible food, and try to get through this time. 」

"In areas close to the coast, you can catch a lot of fish. An aquarium official stood up and said, "We have a fleet, we can solve some of it." 」

"Fishing can solve some problems, but it can't solve the underlying problem. One official said, "Think about the scene of refugees digging wild vegetables two years ago when the province was first established┅┅."

Speaking of wild vegetables, Eva, who has been sitting among the officials without speaking. Count Merlin looked up, a look of surprise in his eyes—but then lowered his head again.

Vitamins. Who is Kaida, there are dozens of officials in the venue, and who can escape his sight with every move?

"Iva. Count Merlin, this is your first time attending a meeting, and you may not be familiar with the rules of the meeting. Visu immediately called Count Iva by name: "There is no restriction on what we can say at our meetings, do you have anything to say? 」

"I, I┅┅ Hello Prime Minister. It's been a nobleman for so long, but it's the first time I've experienced this kind of scene, Eva. Count Merlin's palms were covered with sweat.

He tried his best to maintain the temperament of "an elegant aristocrat", but unfortunately it backfired: "I want to say that I know a little bit about how to grow wild crops┅┅"

Then. Interior Overseer Dill sitting in front. Mrs. Merlin stared at her father. His eyes were full of encouragement.

was looked at by her daughter with such eyes. Count Eva's heart couldn't stop a burst of excitement, and he immediately let it go.

"Your Excellency, in fact, the lower officials don't know a little. Count Iva lifted his staff and walked forward, his loud voice echoing through the hall: "Actually, when it comes to planting wild fruits, in the Divine Alliance, I'm Ivah. Merlin recognized the second, and no one dared to admit the first!"

This sentence made the officials in the hall not react for a long time, and even Wei Su was caught off guard by him.

"Me. Eva. Merlin. The Count walked to the wall and turned to face the officials, "I am the most skilled farmer in the Riva Empire, and the "mud-legged Iva the Mud" who has been ridiculed by countless people!"

While the officials were staring at each other, Tiff. Lorenzo stood up and walked over to Count Iva.

"If you're really 'Iva the Mud-Legged'┅┅" Dean Lorenzo looked at Count Iva with a very stern expression, "That will be the luck of my Spia Empire!"

"It's not a good reputation, it's a fool. Count Iva smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have long since stopped growing things, I have never changed my habit of wandering around in the wilderness. 」

Dean Lorenzo nodded to the Prime Minister.

"Bring me the map. Prime Minister Wei Su immediately came to the spirit: "The largest one, directly on the ground!"

The map took up a third of the floor of the hall, and everyone had to stand up. Gather around the map and listen to Count Eva.

"First, let's look around Lamp. Count Iva took a long stick and pointed it to the map: "From what I have seen in many years of travel. Dozens of wild crops have spawned around the Chamber. Since it's winter, then we remove the restrictions of the seasons, and there are only seven left. 」

"Isn't that a lot of options?" an official asked in surprise.

"No, because we have to feed so many people, there is only one suitable one right now. Count Iva explained, "Wild cassava. 」

"Can you eat that thing? Everyone knows it's poisonous. An official said, "Even animals don't eat wild cassava!"

"No problem, the cassava processed by guò can be eaten, although the taste will be very bad and rough, but it will not kill people. Count Iva smiled, "It ticks all our boxes, grows fast in winter, survives easily, and doesn't have to worry about seeds. 」

"Why don't you have to worry about seeds?"

"The branches and roots of wild cassava can be used as seeds. Count Iva painted: "A cassava root can be cut into a dozen pieces, and the same is true of the branches, which can live if they are inserted into the soil. In the past, this crop would encroach on farmland and be removed by farmers as a hazard, but I discovered it by chance that it was edible. 」

"But can this thing really be eaten?" asked an official, puzzled.

"Of course, you can't eat it without extracting it, and you have to mix it with other things. Count Iva sold, "If anyone dares to eat it raw, the end will be very miserable." 」

"What about yield?" Wei Su asked the most important question: "Growth cycle?"

"The yield is very high, and after 20 days of planting, it starts to bear fruit, and it keeps bearing fruit. At this time, you can choose to receive it according to the size. Count Iva explained, "The land is small, and we can plant intensively┅┅ When we are destined to run out of food, we can harvest twice. 」

"What are the downsides?"

"It's hard to process, and you can't store it for more than 10 days. Count Iva smiled bitterly and said, "That is to say, when it is ripe, you must eat it quickly. 」

After thinking about it again and again, Minister Wei Su finally made up his mind.

"Well, Count Iva, calculate how much land you need, how many men and money you need. Visu shook Count Iva's hand and said, "The Home Affairs Department will transfer it to you immediately. 」

"The land needs to be re-demarcated because wild cassava is harmful to other crops, and there is not much need for manpower. Count Iwa thought for a moment, "The difficulty is that when the wild cassava matures, it needs to be processed intensively, and a lot of special tools need to be made. 」

"That's fine, you can talk about what you don't need. 」

"Count Eva, this matter is very important, and I hope you can bring us good news. Abbot Lorenzo took the other hand of the count, "Use your knowledge as much as you can, and you can save countless people. 」

Having never been entrusted with such an important mission, Count Iva smiled embarrassedly and turned to look at his son-in-law.

At this time, Cohen was the only one still sitting in the chair, he first looked at his father-in-law quietly, and then the corners of his mouth curled, and he showed everyone a very evil smile┅┅Except for a few people who were close to Cohen, everyone in the hall was frightened by Cohen's smile.
