In the book, the princess of the fallen country saved the country by eating melons

Mo Sheng was suspicious.

Mo Jinyi and the prince's faces froze. Wasn't this a bit too happy? They almost got exposed.

Mo Jinyi said seriously.

"I don't know if this recipe is true or not, so I'll copy one and give it to the imperial kitchen to test it first."

Everyone nodded, absolutely, absolutely.

The imperial chef brought the prepared milk tea to the imperial study according to the recipe.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they smelled the scent of milk tea. The milk had the fragrance of tea leaves.

I don't know what this tastes like.

Li Desheng and the palace servants put the milk tea into small bowls and handed them to the waiting adults.

[Ah, this long-lost taste]

Mo Sheng didn't really like milk tea, but drinking it occasionally did enjoy its unique flavor.

I miss it terribly when I smell it now.

[Father, I want to drink too]

Mo Jinyi held the milk tea bowl and moved it a little further away, fearing that Mo Sheng would reach out to grab it.

[Father, you are going too far. I was the one who provided this recipe.]

"Sheng'er, you are still young, you can't drink tea"

Mo Jinyi spoke in a gentle tone.

[Huh, I’m angry]

Mo Sheng tilted his head and Mo Jinyi smiled slightly.

The ministers were still not satisfied and nodded repeatedly.

However, the imperial kitchen only cooked for the experiment and didn’t cook much, so each person only had a small bowl and it was gone.

"Your Majesty, although this milk tea is not as delicious as pure tea, it still has a unique flavor if you drink it occasionally."

Rong An picked up the bowl of milk tea and pointed it out.

"I think this milk tea tastes better than pure tea. The smooth and mellow milk aroma accompanied by the tea aroma is very memorable."

Yang Yanlei glared at Rong An. He was still angry about not calling him to take the last exam.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed a good way to make money."

Lord Tian also nodded in agreement.

He grinned, knowing that with this recipe he could make another fortune.

After the issues of money and food were almost discussed, Mo Jinyi wrote a self-criticism edict.

Tell the world.

"I am blessed by heaven and earth, and I inherited the great power of my ancestors. I lead all nations and inherit the great rule. However, I am not virtuous, which has caused unrest in the world and unrest among the people. This is my great fault.

Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent in government affairs, but I am not virtuous and talented enough, which has led to spies from other countries infiltrating Beiyun and redundant troops on the border, threatening Beiyun to hand over the spies and bullying Beiyun. I cannot bear to see the country being as weak as it was during the time of the previous emperor, and I am determined not to bow my head again.

Today, I blame myself and reflect deeply that this action failed to maintain domestic stability and resist foreign aggression, and caused unrest on the border and the people to suffer. I feel deeply guilty and distressed.

I will personally supervise military affairs, strengthen border defenses, and safeguard the territory. I will also identify the people living on the border in advance and provide them with new places to settle down.

After the victory of this battle, I decided to reduce taxes for three years to allow the country to recuperate.

I know that this edict of self-blame cannot eliminate the suffering of the people, but I hope that this edict can arouse the resonance of the people of the world and work together for the prosperity and strength of the country. I will take this as a lesson and never make the same mistake again, so that the world can be peaceful and the people can live in happiness.

This edict has been issued, and everyone should obey it. "

The whole world was in an uproar.

In the following days, the people of Beiyun were discussing this matter.

"Hey, fellow, what's posted here?"

A passerby passing by the bulletin board was confused, so he pulled the person who was reading the edict aside and asked.

"Oh, this is the edict of apology issued today, saying that we have to go to war, and we are sorry for the people of Beiyun."

The person being asked explained.

"Is there going to be a war? Alas, in the end, the people will be the ones who suffer."

The pedestrian shook his head with a bitter look on his face.

"That's not what your Majesty is thinking. It's really that Qi State has gone too far. Not only did they send spies to our country to steal intelligence, but now that they've been caught, they've dared to send troops to threaten us to hand over our people."

The person standing in front of the notice board was filled with indignation. The others who were reading the notice also looked indignant.

"Then we should fight back. We can't just endure it like we did during the time of the previous emperor."

"I heard that the late emperor was so afraid of death that he asked for peace."

Someone said quietly.

"Who told you this?"

The others also asked in a confused whisper.

"I heard this from the daughter of the sister of the daughter of my aunt's uncle's son. She was working in the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo and accidentally heard the drunk Duke of Zhenguo talking about the late emperor. He said that he had clearly won the battle, but he still wanted to make peace with the enemy country, which was very cowardly."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. I have heard about this before. It was said that it was because of fear of death that all the silver in the national treasury was sent to the enemy country to seek peace."

"Yes, those years were tough. When the treasury ran out of money, they increased taxes on the people, which made us, the common people, suffer terribly."

"After the current emperor ascended the throne, he helped the people reduce taxes, and the people were pulled back from the brink of starvation. In the past few years, there have been many natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the treasury has long been out of money. In addition, we have been ridiculed by people from other countries in those years."

"That's right. Now the Qi and Jin countries have come to bully us. We can't tolerate this."

"I believe that your majesty and the soldiers of Beiyun will definitely defeat those countries that have bullied us."

“We support the current emperor’s decision on this matter.”

"Drive these bullies out of our land."

The masses responded one after another.

"Your Majesty said that the treasury is out of money. Although we don't have many copper coins, we have harvested in autumn recently, so we can donate more food and fodder to the army."

"Yes, yes."

The crowd was excited and was thinking about what they would donate.

The atmosphere among the crowd has been set.

The person who was among them at the beginning and made the noise quietly retreated and went back to report.

imperial study room

At this time, Mo Jinyi was coaxing the angry Mo Sheng.

"Sheng'er, don't be angry. Your mother has already agreed to my request."

Mo Sheng turned his head away and ignored him.

Angry.

"Your Majesty, the mission you assigned us has been completed. The people are very excited. When I left, I heard that they were going to donate food to the soldiers."

Mo Jinyi stood up from Mo Sheng's cradle and stood with his back to his subordinates.

He spoke calmly and lightly.

"You have done a great job in this matter. You originally planned to come up with a few more waves later. It won't work if only the court is involved in this matter."

"Go down and find your leader to claim your reward."

At this moment, Mo Sheng was really unhappy that her father had taken her to the border without her permission.

Complained about the road.

[Father, you have a really dirty heart. You are still calculating the food of these people. I don’t know if your conscience will be punished by God.]

Mo Jinyi felt tired. He couldn't coax this little Sheng'er anymore.

The people clearly gave food voluntarily, and I did not force them.

Besides, you said my heart.

This strategy was obviously proposed by you, I just improved and utilized it.

If you're talking about the heart, it should be your heart.

Mo Jinyi signaled his subordinates to go down and continue to coax Mo Sheng.

"Sheng'er, please don't be angry. This is father's fault. It's because father didn't discuss it with Sheng'er."
