Compared to the heavy snow in western countries, the year-round sunshine in Adak is really decadent.

Occasionally it will rain lightly for a few days...

Heavy rain in the desert is a lifesaver.

A rainy season may usually last for several days, and these heavy rains will replenish water sources for many oases. For most oases in the desert, this is the only time they can replenish water, otherwise they can only wait for sporadic rainfall.

Sean didn't go anywhere these days. He either stayed in the palace to relax, or looked at Claude to see if there were any new things he could use.

Generally speaking, as the prince of Jagun, Sean did not touch most of the things he was responsible for. His reputation had reached an unprecedented peak on his way back from Keselk. However, just when everyone was expecting him to do something, Sean seemed to suddenly disappear from the public's reputation.

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

hiss~

That’s true.

It has been a long time since I heard from Prince Sean. Even in the palace, there is rarely any news about him... There seems to be no story about him in the series of policies recently issued by Jagun.

Even in cities a little further away, the story of the prince only lasted until he passed through this place.

In fact, not only the people but also many officials rarely saw Prince Sean in the hall. They thought that he would be more active after receiving praise from the people this time. However, on the days when he occasionally appeared in the hall, he rarely spoke and mostly listened.

Even when the Sun King asked him, he just gave ordinary answers.

They rarely expressed their opinions like before, or tried their best to obtain conditions that were favorable to them. Instead, the other two princes and princesses were more active.

But once Sean's opposition was gone, neither Prince Mudan nor Princess Seriya seemed to be able to find any point to target.

Many times it even turned into arguments between the two siblings, or disputes between them and other ministers... In any case, Prince Sean's role in it became smaller.

Many ministers would rather hope that Prince Sean could step forward to preside over some of the political affairs in the hall, but only a few people who are most familiar with the political ecology of Jagun can see the purpose of Prince Sean's doing so.

During this period, the Imperial Minister Lubin presided over the daily political meetings in the hall.

In fact, most of the content is repetitive.

This may also be related to the habits of the Jagun people. The desert people are relatively leisurely people.

If you say that it has been true since ancient times, it has been verified... Because in the desert, if you are too diligent and work too hard, it is easier to consume the energy and water in your body. There are few oases in the desert area, and if you want to survive, you must spend more time resting, so your descendants have this problem.

Anyway, this conclusion was made by those scholars, and I don’t know whether it is true or not, but it basically reflects the situation of this country.

Therefore, the number of matters discussed in the hall was not very large, but each one would take a long time to discuss, even for several days...

There has been a long debate recently over whether to send troops to the east to strengthen defenses.

The reason was that someone reported that the eastern countries seemed to be secretly training soldiers and raising a large number of flying dragons and armored cattle. Although the number was not large, it was worthy of Jagun's attention.

Are these eastern countries starting to become unruly?

Of course, there are also many opposing voices...

The main reason is that it is time for the eastern countries to increase their troops, and precisely because Jagong had fought battles in the past two years and some soldiers died in battle, so more troops were added, which aroused the vigilance of their countries.

This is an inter-military competition and we shouldn’t be too nervous!

We have been discussing the normal deployment of troops for three days, and will continue today.

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

"Lord Brown."

The other person turned around and looked surprised when he saw Lubin.

"It's Master Lubin, you've come so early today..."

"You're up early too." The two smiled at each other.

As ministers in front of the emperor with a clear division of labor, the two were in charge of different places respectively, but their status was equal, only lower than that of the royal family. Since there were only a few members of the Jiagong royal family, the status of these people was actually equivalent to that of the entire nation. However, there were checks and balances on power, and they might not be able to let go!

Brown smiled, suddenly noticing the stack of scrolls in Lubin's hands.

"Are these the agenda items for today?"

"It's all the same old thing."

There would be many officials in the hall every day, including great nobles living near the capital.

On weekdays, they would live somewhere closer to the imperial city, and only return to their respective territories to live when they were resting, including when they were retired...

When the people around saw the two ministers walking together, they didn't dare to say hello. They could only watch from afar and follow them.

"Speaking of which, Lord Lubin, do you think we should send more troops to the east this time?" Brown raised a question that everyone has been discussing recently.

"I think it's right. We have always been the leader among the desert countries. Our status must not be underestimated by others. The purpose of increasing troops is to give the other side a warning!" Lubin said casually.

"I wonder what Lord Brown thinks..."

"Me?" Brown paused deliberately.

"I don't think so. I think it's much easier to show goodwill to the eastern nations than to suppress them. Furthermore, in the past two years, we've been on an expedition to Zambutar, and then encountered the incident in the capital. We've also suffered considerable losses in subsequent campaigns against pirates... While these were only minor injuries, they were still damage. It wouldn't be wise to exacerbate the border standoff now."

Although what he said made sense, he had actually said it many times in the hall.

The Sun King hasn't made a decision yet, probably because he's ready to think about it again.

It's mainly about the economy... Increasing the troops means expenses, but the cost of the army can drive industries in many places, and eventually their tax revenue will come back.

It requires a precise calculation to calculate how much the actual loss will be, or how much can be earned...The Sun King is a wise emperor and will not make hasty decisions without careful consideration.

"Lord Brown is right, but I also have my own persistence."

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

With just one sentence, the topic that the two people really wanted to talk about was finally brought up.
