For several months, the king only occasionally participated in meetings, rarely expressed his views and listened. The sudden summons must mean something big!
Rushing to the gate of the palace, the Prime Minister and the high priest met unexpectedly.
"The king has been ruling by doing nothing these days and has achieved fruitful results! I, Stobi, have actually succeeded in providing five-star food to all the people! This has attracted a large number of immigrants to settle down! Such a great achievement cannot be achieved by the major barbarian forces in the north, not even Macedonia, which dominates the north!" The Prime Minister sighed.
"The Prime Minister also deserves some credit! The promotion and cultivation of the two new species was instigated by the Prime Minister! Selling beef originally used for military supplies to the public was also your idea, Prime Minister. Otherwise, how could the public have so many kinds of ingredients, and how could every family make five-star delicacies?" The high priest said with a smile.
"High Priest, please don't praise me too much! All of this, from beginning to end, was the king's brilliant plan. I am just an executor. Being able to do it in a way that the king always approves and does not cause any major problems is already the limit of my ability!" The Prime Minister replied sternly.
While talking, the two came to the study.
I saw Xia Zhe sitting on a chair with his brows furrowed, looking worried.
"Are you here? Sit down! I have something to discuss with you two." Xia Zhe said.
After sending the message, Xia Zhe reorganized his ideas.
At this moment, he was already confident.
"What? Expand the city?"
"The king wants to expand the city of Stobi tenfold, and also expand the palace and temple as well?"
The Prime Minister and the High Priest looked at each other in shock and could not help but speak.
With a bumper harvest and so many new immigrants, it was not surprising that the country expanded its city walls as its national strength increased.
However, the king’s appetite is too big!
It expanded tenfold in one go!
To undertake such a large project, the resources and financial resources required are simply astronomical! How could Stobi City possibly come up with the money?
More importantly, such a large project requires a huge amount of manpower.
With so many new immigrants joining Stobi, food pressure suddenly increased.
At this moment, we need to vigorously develop agriculture and find ways to feed these people!
If everyone goes to work on engineering, where will the food come from?
Once a food crisis occurs, those newcomers will have no attachment to their homeland and will definitely leave again!
It is said that it is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away.
The departure of those people will take away not only the population, but also the hearts and reputation that Stobi has worked so hard to build up!
Everything you have done before will be wasted!
"My king, please think twice! Although expansion is good, there must be a limit! There are too many foreign populations now, and the people are not united. It would be safer to stabilize for a few years before seeking development!" The Prime Minister said after consideration.
"Yes, yes. Even if we want to expand, we can't come up with so much money and materials!" The high priest agreed.
People are not united?
No financial resources?
Nonsense, of course I know this.
Otherwise I wouldn’t have proposed this troublesome plan!
It is because of the desire for grandiose achievements that people’s lives are made miserable!
I can only leave the get out of class when the project is halfway done, the money is gone, and all the people have left!
There are many examples of this kind of thing in history.
Didn’t the glorious Qin and Sui dynasties end like this?
If such a huge empire can be destroyed, it will be even easier for a little Stoby like me to fail!
After all, there are a lot of foreigners coming in these days. These people have no loyalty at all!
If I'm unhappy, I'll leave at any time!
Of course, Xia Zhe was able to think of this trick because it was related to a disastrous defeat he suffered when he first started playing the game!
At that time, he didn't know how to balance domestic affairs, so he bought a bunch of five-star foods and put them on the market.
Seeing the houses being upgraded one after another and the population booming, I was filled with joy.
However, the good times did not last long!
When the purchased food was eaten, the houses began to deteriorate again.
A large number of residents fled, resulting in all urban facilities being extremely short of staff and unable to function normally.
Then, fires broke out everywhere and houses collapsed one after another. It was simply hell on earth!
Xia Zhe tried desperately to demolish various unnecessary buildings to protect himself and reduce manpower, but it was impossible to save it!
The final outcome is a big Gameover.
He didn't even get the chance to lead his troops out to fight!
Xia Zhe still remembers the reluctance and helplessness he felt at that time.
Now that he's in a real otherworld, he plans to do it again. Let everyone in Stoby experience the bittersweet feeling of gaining and then losing!
In that case, Xia Zhe believed that the motion to remove him would be passed unanimously!
"If you want to do big things, there will definitely be difficulties! If you rely on the leader, oh no, rely on the king when you encounter difficulties, what are we still needing you for?" Xia Zhe said with a stern face.
When he was a corporate slave, Xia Zhe heard such words almost every day.
At that time, he wanted to jump up and slap his leader twice!
However, as time goes by, when I say these words now, I actually feel an indescribable pleasure!
"This? Fine! Let's go back and figure it out!"
This was a well-honed tactic from the 21st century, and it left the Prime Minister stunned.
He didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he had to agree reluctantly.
"Go back and think about it! Don't be in a hurry, think it through before you do it! But, do it quickly!" Xia Zhe said meaningfully.
You traitor, why are you pretending to be me?
The opportunity is right in your hands, why don’t you make good use of it?
Go back and think about how to trick me before you take any action. I'm not in a hurry.
