Chapter 559: Two Hundred is Enough

“What are you up to, your highness?”

“Nothing,” Su Yu shook his head and leaned back in the chair, looking drowsy.

Seeing Su Yu in this unbecoming state, everyone felt helpless. Moreover, no one dared to say anything, as even the emperor didn’t care. What right did they have to intervene?

“Never mind about Su Yu. Let’s continue discussing the previous matter. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War should quickly turn the excavated iron ore into weapons, preferably new ones. We shouldn’t waste the iron ore that has been mined,” Xuan Feiran said.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu, who seemed to be dozing off, suddenly opened his eyes, went to Xuan Feiran’s desk, and began to write and draw with pen and paper.

Xuan Feiran and the other ministers looked at Su Yu in surprise. After a while, Xuan Feiran’s eyes lit up, and he stood up, making way for Su Yu. “Xiao Yu, come here to write.”

It was indeed uncomfortable for Su Yu to write while lying down. Ignoring the shocked expressions of the Prime Minister and others, Su Yu continued to write and draw while sitting on Xuan Feiran’s dragon chair.

The Prime Minister twitched his mouth as he watched Su Yu, who dared to sit on the dragon chair.

After about half an hour, Su Yu finished writing what he had to: “This is for you, Your Majesty.”

It was a guide to refining high-quality iron, something he had accidentally acquired in his previous life, but had never used. If he hadn’t heard Xuan Feiran mention it today, he would have forgotten about it.

Xuan Feiran held the document written by Su Yu, his eyes filled with joy. “Someone from the Ministry of Works, come and take a look. Can you do this?”

The Minister of Works and his assistant walked over, and after reviewing the document, their eyes lit up. “The steps are written very carefully by His Majesty, and it will definitely work.”

“Good.”

Later, he took out several design drawings of weapons and looked at the Ministry of War. “After the Ministry of Works refines the high-quality iron, you should produce the weapons on these designs as quickly as possible.”

“Yes.”

The Prime Minister also leaned in to take a look. After a while, his gaze fell on Su Yu, and the overly intense look made Su Yu furrow his brow. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Your Highness, I suddenly feel that both you and the princess are treasures of Xuan Empire.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu shuddered, feeling goosebumps rise on his skin.

“Are you being serious?” Su Yu looked disgusted.

Xuan Feiran chuckled softly. Although the Prime Minister’s words were a bit cloying, they were also true. Both of them were indeed treasures of Xuan Empire.

Seeing their increasingly strange expressions, Su Yu stood up and said, “I’m going back.”

As Su Yu fled in a panic, Xuan Feiran burst into laughter.

Su Yu had always acted mature, so this was the first time he had reacted this way. It seemed more fitting for his age.

Hearing the laughter coming from the study, Su Yu’s lips curved slightly. It felt nice.

After Su Yu left the palace, he belatedly remembered that he had something to discuss with Xuan Feiran.

He hesitated, wondering whether to go back in or come back another time.

After some consideration, Su Yu turned back, intending to settle the matter to avoid forgetting about it later.

Xuan Feiran was discussing matters with the ministers when he heard that Su Yu had returned.

“Didn’t you leave?” Xuan Feiran asked when he saw Su Yu.

Clearing his throat and touching his nose, Su Yu said, “I forgot to mention something.”

“What’s the matter?” Xuan Feiran set aside the discussion with the ministers to address Su Yu’s question.

“I plan to call back some people from the Forget Sorrow City,” Su Yu said.

Xuan Feiran looked surprised. “Why?”

He knew Su Yu wouldn’t bring people from Forget Sorrow City without a good reason.

“I want them to go to Xie Family Village and guard the granary.”

The granary was full of grain, and it wouldn’t be good if it was stolen or set on fire.

Without much explanation, Xuan Feiran understood what Su Yu meant.

“Can you control them?” Xuan Feiran asked Su Yu seriously.

Su Yu nodded with a smile. “I can.”

“Alright, that’s settled then. I’ll let you and Xiao He have personal guards, prepare two thousand people each. If you don’t have enough, you can select more from the military camp.” Xuan Feiran trusted Su Yu greatly. If he said it, he could definitely manage those people.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. However, we don’t need the soldiers from the military camp. Just give me and Xiao He some people who have been injured and can’t go to the battlefield,” Su Yu said. These individuals were unable to fight but were still capable, making them suitable for guarding the granary.

“It’s best if they are from the surrounding areas of Fu’an County, so they can frequently return home after going there.”

“Alright, come to the morning court tomorrow. You can discuss these matters with a few generals. It’s fine to have more people, and you must ensure the security on your end,” Xuan Feiran said. Reminded by Su Yu, Xuan Feiran realized the importance of Xie Family Village, especially Wang Jinhe’s granary, which was crucial for the next year’s harvest.

“Yes.”

The Prime Minister and others didn’t find anything unusual in the conversation. The seeds in the princess’s place were the most important now. Even if it meant having ten thousand people, it wouldn’t be excessive.

“Your Majesty, the ministers think that since the prince wants to select people, it’s better to prepare the manpower all at once to avoid future trouble,” the Prime Minister suggested.

“Yes, Your Majesty. You can have the prince go back and ask the princess if there are any other seeds. If there are, we will definitely need more people. There won’t be just one granary, and these people might not be enough by then. It’s better to prepare the manpower all at once,” the Prime Minister added.

Xuan Feiran looked at Su Yu. “What do you think, Xiao Yu?”

After considering for a moment, Su Yu agreed, “That works.”

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you. After you go back, discuss it with Xiao He and make preparations for tomorrow. As for the people from Forget sorrow City, how many do you plan to call back?” Xuan Feiran asked.

“Two hundred people will be enough,” Su Yu replied after considering for a moment.

“Okay,” Xuan Feiran agreed without hesitation. He only asked to know the number, and he entrusted Su Yu with full authority to handle the rest.

“Then I’ll head back now, Your Majesty.”

“Alright.”

After returning home, the gatekeeper informed Su Yu about Qi Ming’s visit.

Upon hearing that the gatekeeper had turned Qi Ming away, Su Yu felt very pleased.

“You, go find Yuan Bao. I’ll double your wages this month as a reward,” Su Yu instructed.

“Thank you, young master,” the gatekeeper’s staff expressed their gratitude with delight.

Their young master was so generous, giving them a month’s wages as a reward.

After returning to their courtyard, Su Yu went to find Wang Jinhe, only to discover that she was still asleep.

Sitting by the bed and looking at Wang Jinhe, who was sound asleep, Su Yu couldn’t help but feel helpless. “She can really sleep.”

It was unclear whether Wang Jinhe had heard him, but she opened her eyes sleepily and looked at Su Yu sitting beside her. “You’re back?”

“Yeah. By the way, are you planning to plant other types of seeds in the future?”
