With this in mind, the Prime Minister spoke solemnly and made a promise.
"I have deeply understood the king's profound meaning! After returning, I will redouble my efforts to realize the king's plan as soon as possible!" said the Prime Minister.
Experience a lot?
Realize my plan as soon as possible?
What does this traitor mean?
Could it be that he has already seen that I am also willing to cooperate with him in his own rebellion?
Xia Zhe frowned when he heard this, not knowing what to say.
On the contrary, the Prime Minister suddenly came to his senses when he saw that Xia Zhe looked unhappy!
oops!
I let it slip again!
The king wanted to keep a low profile and paralyze the Macedonians.
What "big plan" am I proposing?
"What I mean is that you should take on more state affairs in the future and not let the king have fun playing games!" The Prime Minister quickly changed his words.
"Yeah, that's what I mean. From now on, all national affairs will be left to the Prime Minister! You all can step aside, I'm going to play games!" Xia Zhe nodded.
After saying this, he got up and went out, heading straight to the garden sand table.
When walking past Achilles, Xia Zhe was furious and couldn't help but want to tease him.
"Achilles, they say you run the fastest. But in my garden, a tortoise can run faster than you. You'll never catch up with it! Haha, haha!"
The scale of the world map in Xia Zhe's sandbox is more than a million times that of the real world.
A tortoise crawling on a garden sandbox could cover half of Greece in a day. Of course, Achilles in the real world could never catch up.
Xia Zhe said this just to state the facts.
By the way, he ridiculed Achilles for only knowing how to plagiarize and would never reach his level in playing games.
However, all the ministers were stunned by what they heard.
I only know that Xia Zhe's words have hidden meanings, but I can't figure out the deeper meaning.
Looking at Achilles' embarrassed expression, it was obvious that he didn't think Xia Zhe was talking nonsense, he was just embarrassed to answer.
This undoubtedly makes it even more difficult for everyone to understand.
"The king said Achilles couldn't outrun the tortoise? Why? It's so illogical!"
"I don't understand it either. This is so profound! Maybe I'm just too stupid!"
"There's a Zeno in the city of Elea to the west. I hear he can figure out anything complicated. Go ask him when you get a chance!"
…
Amidst whispers, the ministers slowly left the palace.
The Prime Minister returned to his official residence and had dinner.
He was planning to call a few more of his men to discuss the problem of the empty treasury.
The servant came to report that the second prince of the Little Maitali tribe had arrived.
How dare the Prime Minister neglect the distinguished guest?
He immediately went out to the hall to greet him, giving the Second Prince enough face.
"My tribe is delighted to hear that Stobi completely annihilated the Macedonian army in one battle, and we've come to offer our congratulations!"
Before he even sat down, the Second Prince congratulated him loudly.
The Prime Minister was puzzled upon hearing this.
If they are coming to congratulate on behalf of the Little Maitali tribe, His Highness should submit a letter of credence and meet them in the conference hall tomorrow morning.
It was almost dark, and he came running to the Prime Minister's residence. What was he planning?
Seeing that the Prime Minister seemed puzzled, the Second Prince nodded and spoke again.
"The strong are indeed strong, and they can see the big picture from the small details. To be honest, I came to Stobi City this time to meet the Prime Minister!"
Strong one?
When the Prime Minister heard the Second Prince say this word, he seemed to understand something.
Wang’s calculations were so accurate!
As soon as Achilles' theory about the powerful person behind the scenes was published, it indeed aroused suspicion from the surrounding forces.
Little McTally is an ally, so he came directly to inquire.
I'm afraid that enemies like Macedonia are also making wild guesses in their minds.
In order not to disrupt the king's plan, I have to play this scene well.
Because it was already made clear in the palace just now.
The role of "the strong man behind the scenes" is played by myself!
"Your Highness is truly extremely clever. Nothing can be hidden from you!"
The Prime Minister replied with a smile, tacitly accepting the title of "strong man".
The Second Prince was so surprised that he could not believe that the Prime Minister was so calm that he was speechless for a moment.
After a few seconds, he realized his gaffe and spoke awkwardly.
"Haha. The Prime Minister is so quick-witted and outspoken, which is really admirable! Then I will speak frankly. I rode hundreds of kilometers from the northern border to here, and I didn't see a single bandit. I heard that this is all thanks to the new policy of setting up security points. I don't understand, how could the Prime Minister think of doing this?" asked the Second Prince.
Riding for hundreds of miles without seeing a single bandit?
When did my countryside of Stoby become so peaceful?
It was the first time the Prime Minister had heard such information. He was shocked and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Of course, His Highness the Second Prince would never think that the Prime Minister was unaware of this.
He just felt that he must have asked the core of governing a country, which made it inconvenient for the "strong man" to answer.
In order to show that he was no mediocre person, the Second Prince took up the topic and began to talk about it.
"I don't have the Prime Minister's foresight. I'm late to the party, so I can only try to throw out some ideas."
"Prime Minister, this move is truly ingenious! By establishing a large number of spies in the countryside, we can prevent trouble before it happens. The bandits were discovered and suppressed before they could even become a force!"
"Furthermore, the entire nation is using its full strength to develop the copper smelting industry, absorbing a large number of unemployed vagrants! Who would want to risk their lives and become a bad person when they can make money through legitimate channels? Brilliant! Truly brilliant..."
Listening to the Second Prince's endless chatter, the Prime Minister himself was secretly shocked.
I never expected it!
The king’s proposal that day was so far-sighted!
It’s ridiculous that I actually spoke out against it at that time!
Geniuses and mediocre people are indeed from different worlds!
