Chapter 700 Give way
Xia Wanniang looked at the generals who were making solemn promises and said, "I would like to advise the generals to put aside this dangerous idea. Wolves and jackals are both protective and vengeful animals."
"Unless they voluntarily entrust their cubs to you, you will definitely be hunted down." She was not exaggerating.
Several generals were like deflated balls: "It seems there is no chance."
Xia Wanniang: "There is a chance."
Everyone looked at her: "Princess, do you have a solution?"
"I think you can go find the Duke of Zhenguo. Wolves and jackals are more powerful than horses, and they can give birth to more than one baby in a litter." Xia Wanniang gave a friendly reminder.
Several pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Chiye in unison: "Stop, if you want to, you have to think about whether you can raise them. These guys are not bragging about eating meat."
They were woken up by Xiao Chiye's cold water, and they all started to scratch their heads again: "Is there any other way for us to make money?"
Xiao Chiye called several generals aside and said, "There are many mountain bandits and water bandits in your territory. They have been entrenched for many years. I believe they have a lot of good things."
"What do you mean?" Why did the generals feel like this man was setting a trap?
“Fight to support the war. Think about it, you not only train the soldiers, but also help the people eliminate hidden dangers, and you can also get spoils of war. These are all said to belong to the army.” Xiao Chiye patted their backs.
Several generals felt that what he said made sense. Training soldiers was a very good thing. It could also help the people eliminate hidden dangers. Moreover, they could get money.
It seems that if they have money, they can raise wolves, and the problem of food will be solved.
Xia Wanniang gave Xiao Chiye a thumbs up. The things Xiong Da and the others had given her before had finally solved the problem.
Xiao Chiye walked over to her and stood beside her: "Actually, I was also thinking about what I read in the book. We can't relax even if there is no war. When the time comes, I plan to go back and discuss with Brother Yu and the others to fight separately."
"I think it's feasible. I will provide you with equipment at that time, which will make it easier to calculate the death toll." Xia Wanniang agreed.
It doesn't mean there will be no training if there is no war. The current training is to prepare for the future. We should not be afraid of the past but be prepared for the worst.
The palace gate slowly opened and officials began to enter the hall one after another.
The Eighth Prince has changed a lot now. He has focused all his attention on state affairs and seems to care less about whether he sits in that position.
He found that sitting in that position brought him more responsibilities and things to do, and with those two around, it would be difficult for him to be lazy. It would be better for him to be a prince. Even if he was lazy, they would not care too much.
After realizing this, he even felt a little sympathy for Wu Hanyu.
Wu Hanyu was confused by his gaze. What was wrong with this guy?
Wu Xiao sat in the main seat and looked at the ministers in the court below. More than half of the court officials here were newcomers, and the old ones were also those who finally sat on the throne, not those with any party affiliation.
After the worship, the ministers were waiting for Wu Xiao to speak his first words.
"My dear ministers, today is the last time I will attend court."
Everyone looked up at Wu Xiao with an expression of disbelief and shock, not even knowing what was going on.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" The Palace Censor stepped forward.
Wu Xiao smiled and looked at them: "Don't be so nervous, I just feel that I am old and it is time to step down and let others take over. I want to see the Great Xia country that I have guarded all my life, and see the people of Great Xia."
All the ministers were stunned. Since ancient times, emperors who abdicated and gave way to wise men were all forced to do so. Now it doesn't seem like Wu Xiao was forced to do so!
Wu Xiao naturally understood what they were thinking: "I know what you are thinking. I was not forced to abdicate. I just think that the prince is already capable of taking on this important task. We old guys have to give young people a chance, right?"
Some of the old officials who were older than Wu Xiao came to their senses. Was this because they were too old? Was he asking them to step down and let others take over?
Wu Xiao said with a smile: "I'm not talking about you old guys. I just feel a little tired and want to rest. I don't want to get up early every day, review memorials every day, or worry about trivial matters."
After he said that, he looked at Wu Hanyu and said, "From now on, I will give up my throne to Crown Prince Wu Hanyu." After that, he looked at Yuanjiu and asked him to read the imperial edict.
