Although he didn't want to admit it, Li Bingchen nodded honestly again, saying, "But it would be too frustrating to just give it to them like this!"
Yun Duo looked at Li Bingchen and said, "We can't beat them. Even if we're not afraid of our homes being destroyed, or that many other homes being destroyed, they'll still steal our things."
"At that time, we will feel even more aggrieved, and we will lose face and dignity, and the losses will be much greater than they are now."
"Since that's the case, why not use them to exchange for some real benefits? After all, there's an 80% chance they won't be suitable for planting. We can exchange a small quantity of rice that can only be used for food for a lot of benefits. It's practically like getting something for nothing. Why wouldn't we do it?"
“Yes, why not do it?” Li Bingchen nodded along with Yun Duo, then came to his senses and looked at Yun Duo, saying, “Because we are still children. This country is in charge of my father and his family. No matter how much we think or say now, it’s useless.”
Yun Duo now felt that Li Bingchen had truly underestimated his place in His Majesty's heart. He knew immediately about every proposal submitted by the Co-Government Council and every event that occurred; what else could His Majesty be doing but grooming him?
Therefore, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective.
Yun Duo glanced at Li Bingchen subconsciously, her eyes revealing a strange emotion.
Li Bingchen didn't understand, and just looked at the clouds and asked, "What?"
“No.” Yun Duo shook her head and said, “As the saying goes, those involved are often confused while bystanders see clearly. I think that His Majesty the King and those who hold power in China are the ones in control, while we two children are the bystanders. The ones in control are blinded, and we, as bystanders, can actually give them a heads-up.”
“It’s no use.” Li Bingchen shook his head uncertainly and said, “How could Father possibly listen to me…”
“Okay.” Yun Duo nodded and said, “Then when my dad comes back, I’ll talk to him, and he’ll listen to me.”
“It’s no use.” Li Bingchen shook his head again and said, “Even if your father says something, it won’t make much of a difference. Besides, he is a diplomatic official after all. It’s not appropriate for him to say these things. It will make people question him.”
This kid is pretty impressive.
Yun Duo couldn't help but give Li Bingchen a thumbs up in her heart.
I don't know if it was the king's training or his own innate sharpness, or perhaps... both?
Yun Duo nodded and said, "That's right. No matter who says these things, they won't get any good results, especially my dad. I'll go talk to my teacher later."
“Dr. Zhou?” Li Bingchen shook his head vigorously: “Although Dr. Zhou holds a somewhat extraordinary position in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and even in the whole of China, he is, after all, just a scientist, not a government official. In matters involving international affairs, he has no say.”
"Besides, he did come back from abroad after all, and if he talks too much, it will only raise questions."
“The teacher doesn’t need to say too much,” Yun Duo said to Li Bingchen. “He just needs to tell a few appropriate people—for example, your father, our King—that the rice cannot be used for planting. With your words as a prelude, His Majesty should make a choice that is more beneficial to our country.”
