Why did they get the grain and seeds given by the emperor? Prince Yan had no idea. He was not afraid of embarrassment when he said such things.
"Prince Chen, I am discussing this matter with the Emperor and it has nothing to do with you."
"Are you discussing this? Are you questioning me?"
…
Xuan Feiran and Su Yu watched the argument between the two calmly. When the argument was almost over, Su Yu spoke up: "No."
Prince Yan turned and looked at Prince Yu: "What does Prince Yu mean?"
"Why is my royal brother willing to give 30,000 kilograms of grain seeds to Prince Chen and Prince Huainan? Prince Yan, don't you have any idea? We don't even have enough grain seeds ourselves. Is Prince Yan trying to get something for nothing?" Su Yu looked at Prince Yan sharply.
Prince Yan smiled gently: "They are all from Xuan Country. Prince Yu, are you favoring some over others?"
"I'm not partial to one over the other, but Prince Chen and Prince Huainan are willing to exchange 100,000 soldiers for their power. What does Prince Yan plan to give in return? If Prince Yan is willing to hand over the 100,000 soldiers in his hands to his elder brother, I can give you 30,000 kilograms of grain seeds. What do you think?" Su Yu accepted the soft rejection from Prince Yan and pushed it back to Prince Yan.
Prince Yan's face looked very ugly. Su Yu's words were really straightforward.
I'm just short of saying directly, I just want the military power in your hands, it's up to you whether you give it to me or not.
It’s easy if you give them the seeds, but forget it if you don’t.
Prince Chen stopped talking and stood happily at the side, ready to watch the show. This Prince Jade was really interesting.
Taking a look at Xuan Feiran who was sitting on the dragon throne, Prince Chen's eyes flickered slightly.
It seems that the Emperor really trusts the Jade Prince. He does not interfere in these matters and directly leaves them to the Jade Prince to handle.
The prime minister and the others also lowered their heads and said nothing.
They knew clearly what kind of character the Jade King had, and at this time they should just stay by themselves instead of interrupting.
"Su Yu, you are so bold that you even dare to covet military power."
"Well, that's what I'm dreaming about. If I wanted to have 400,000 soldiers in my hands now."
"Prince Yan, if you want grain seeds, think carefully before you act. If you voluntarily surrender your military power, you will be treated like Prince Chen and Prince of Huainan. But if you surrender your military power passively, you will end up like Prince of Zhenbei." Su Yu dared to say that not only did he covet the military power, but he also dared to threaten him as a vassal king.
The corners of Prince Chen's and Prince Huainan's mouths twitched. Should they be glad that they handed over the military power instead of letting Su Yu do it himself
Prince Yan was so angry that he was shaking all over, seeing that he had no way to deal with Su Yu at all.
He is now somewhat afraid of Su Yu, worried that Su Yu might have something on him. Who knows when Su Yu will take direct action
"Your Majesty, will you just watch Prince Yu act like this?" Prince Yan couldn't convince Su Yu and was worried that Su Yu would suddenly take action, so he could only turn the conversation to Xuan Feiran.
But more importantly, he wanted to sow discord between the two of them.
"The grain seeds issue has always been the responsibility of Xiaoyu and his wife. It's useless to find him and come to me." Xuan Feiran pretended not to understand Prince Yan's provocation and said with a smile.
Seeing that Prince Yan stopped talking, Xuan Feiran did not continue speaking. He said something else and left the court.

Su Yu did not rush back but went to the imperial study: "My royal brother, both Qi and Ling came to me yesterday. I did not agree and pointed out that they wanted to attack Xuan."
"Aren't you worried that they will cause you trouble?" Xuan Feiran said with a frown.
"It doesn't matter."
"The generals have been training their troops for some time. I really think I should go and take a look." Su Yu thought for a moment and said.
I told them about the training methods last year. Now a year has passed, it shouldn't be that there is no progress at all, right
“You can go anytime you want.”
"Go before you leave."
"Okay, go check on Hongyi and his sister later. They've been heading to the Jade Palace every day lately."
"Then I'll take them there to stay for two days?" Su Yu thought for a moment and asked Xuan Feiran.
"good."

After Su Yu finished talking to Xuan Feiran, she took Hongyi and the other two back to the palace.
Xiaobao and Xiaozhi were very happy to see the two of them.
The four children played together in the house.
Instead, Su Yu went to find Wang Jinhe who was making clothes nearby.
"Xiao He, we'll be going back at the end of the month." If we don't go back, some things will be very troublesome.
"good."
"I will go to the military camp in a few days to see how they are training. We never know when the war will start. After that, I will start to instruct them to prepare food and medicine." Su Yu found that he really had a lot of things to do.
He rubbed his brows with his hand. Why did he want to be a prince
After becoming a prince, he no longer has time for himself.
"We can ask Huangqi and others to make some special medicine." There shouldn't be any big problems with more people.

"We'll plant some medicinal herbs for external injuries after we go back." Wang Jinhe said after thinking for a moment.
The medicinal materials diluted with spiritual spring water and then watered should have better medicinal effects than other medicinal materials and be more suitable for use on the battlefield.
Since Su Yu is going to start preparing for war, medicinal herbs must be available.
"After we go to Xiejia Village, we will go find Luo Su and the others and ask them to save all the grain they grew this year, just in case." They should give this face. They are not taking so much grain for nothing. They will also pay.
Su Yu smiled and nodded: "Okay, you are more suitable than me to talk about this."
Wang Jinhe deals more with those families.
"good."
"In that case, some workshops should be opened after we return." Wang Jinhe said with narrowed eyes.
"Workshop? What is it used for?" Su Yu asked
"We can make some convenient foods, such as noodles, instant noodles, sausages and biscuits. I will also draw a few kinds of military backpacks for you. You can have people make them in advance. A team of people going to the battlefield should be prepared at least one. Put some supplies in them so that they will not go hungry even if they are forced to separate. Then put some finished medicines in them." Wang Jinhe was thinking about making a medical bag with some medicines in it.

"good."
"Any other ideas?"
"In my era, most of the weapons used were hot weapons, which are not suitable for this era. However, a friend of mine studied weapon design and was keen on cold weapons. I once saw the crossbow carts and catapults she researched. I still remember the details. I can draw them. You can tell my brother to let the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War work together to make them. However, there is one thing that must be kept secret and the news cannot be leaked."
"good."
Wang Jinhe went to get paper and charcoal and started sketching.
It took me about two hours to finally draw the crossbow and catapult.
When Su Yu saw the crossbow cart drawn by Wang Jinhe, he suddenly had an idea. If a large crossbow cart can be made, then can a small crossbow for personal use be made as well
Seeing that Su Yu seemed to be thinking about something, Wang Jinhe didn't bother her and washed his hands and continued to make clothes.
