"Red grapes? Really red grapes? What's the yield?" The high priest was so excited that his blood boiled and he asked quickly.
"Of course it's true! This is definitely a high-yield variety and the taste is very pure!" said the Prime Minister affirmatively.
"Great! Great! God bless our city! God bless our city!" The high priest couldn't help but burst into tears.
"What do you mean by 'God bless my city'? It was clearly discovered by my king!" Lillian on the side reminded.
This word woke the dreamer up. The high priest and the prime minister looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
So scary!
As soon as the negotiations concluded, Wang immediately rushed to the garden to look for grape vines. Furthermore, he actually found a variety that could be widely promoted!
This kind of insight and knowledge is truly admirable!
It’s really wrong to say that it’s God’s blessing!
In fact, it was entirely Wang’s personal credit!
Thinking more deeply, perhaps when the king invited the Second Prince to eat cake, he already knew that there were red grapes in the garden.
If that is the case, this matter will be even more unbelievable!
It can only be explained by foresight!
"What about the other plant?" Lillian reminded again.
The two shocked old ministers finally came to their senses and remembered that Xia Zhe was pointing at two plants, not just grapes.
"I have never seen this species, but it is definitely not an olive tree. Olive trees are trees, and this is just a kind of grass, completely different!" The high priest frowned.
"I have never seen this kind of plant before. It looks like a natural hybrid of cabbage and kale. Forgive my stupidity, but I really don't understand what my king means." The Prime Minister also shook his head in response.
However, even though they couldn't understand it, out of their inexplicable confidence in Xia Zhe, the three of them still carefully examined the plant.
It was a herbaceous plant, about half a meter tall.
There is a thick green main stem in the middle, pointing straight up.
On both sides grew broad green leaves, not much smaller than cabbage leaves.
The most eye-catching thing is the top of the main stem, where clusters of small yellow flowers are in full bloom, attracting several bees to come and collect nectar.
After looking at it for a while, the three of them couldn't figure out what the connection was between this herb and olive oil, which comes from wood.
"Did you understand what I said?" Xia Zhe couldn't help but remind them.
What's going on?
I have clearly shown the true nature of a tyrant. I even used the much-needed war preparedness funds to grow flowers!
Why don't you question it?
Why don't you curse?
You actually have the leisure to look around and chat endlessly?
"My king is extremely wise, and we shouldn't make assumptions! I'll do it right away! Right away!" the Prime Minister replied hurriedly.
Xia Zhe wanted to remind the Prime Minister that it was time to lose his temper, but the Prime Minister completely misunderstood him.
He thought Xia Zhe was dissatisfied with their slowness. He thought they were not smart enough, but they were still dithering and not taking action quickly.
After responding to this, the Prime Minister bowed and left, and immediately began to arrange Xia Zhe's request without asking any more questions.
The high priest blushed, bowed silently and stepped back, chasing after the prime minister.
"Are all these people sick today?"
Xia Zhe was puzzled and cursed in his heart.
Where’s the promise of getting angry?
What happened to your promise to denounce the king for his nonsense?
Also, when you first came, didn’t you have something important to report?
Why did they run away one after another without saying anything when I interrupted them?
Besides being angry, Xia Zhe could only comfort himself.
Anyway, that traitor should be going to carry out my plan, and this matter will sooner or later become known to everyone.
I hope you're just sweet-mouthed and treacherous. Just go along with my wishes first, and then come out and reap the rewards once the people are outraged.
This way, all my hard work in protecting you will not be in vain!
His stomach started to growl, and Xia Zhe looked up at the sky, only to find that the sun was about to set without him noticing.
"I have no appetite today. Please ask the kitchen to deliver dinner directly to my bedroom. After eating, I want to have a good rest. I'm tired after a day and I'm so sleepy." Xia Zhe stretched and instructed Lillian beside him.
In fact, apart from sitting in the study, sitting on the dragon chair in the meeting hall, and relaxing in the garden, Xia Zhe was not tired at all and didn't even say a few words.
However, in order to sell his image as a tyrant, he had to say this.
"Yes!" Lillian answered quickly, her face showing worry, tears about to fall.
Yes, it is really not easy to be a good king.
Lillian was with me throughout today's events. She saw everything with her own eyes and was deeply impressed.
He made light work of important matters in the meeting room, broke through the negotiation deadlock in the study with clever tricks, and identified treasures in the garden in an astonishing way.
These may seem easy, but Wang Neili has put in a lot of effort.
She secretly vowed to pay extra attention to take good care of the king's food and daily life!
Before they knew it, they had returned to their bedroom.
After a quick dinner, Xia Zhe went to bed as soon as it got dark.
However, he had something on his mind, and he tossed and turned, feeling more and more unsafe the more he thought about it.
There are very few ministers who are disobedient!
He is a traitor and an old fool, and on the surface he is becoming more and more timid.
I really don't feel safe relying on them alone to take care of my plans after class.
I still need to be more down-to-earth and start directly from the people.
If I lose the support of the people and public resentment boils over, even the most timid ministers will have no choice but to cooperate in removing me.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhe rang the bed bell and called in Lillian and three other maids who were waiting outside.
"Come on, all three of you tell me. What do the people least want the king to do?" Xia Zhe asked.
Instead of figuring it out on your own, it’s better to conduct a questionnaire survey.
The princes and ministers are too far away from the people.
