Prince Jin sat in Qingzheng Hall, with Grandmaster Geng, Prime Minister Liu, and others standing before him.
Prince Jin spoke indifferently, "The drought situation is now under control, but the people still lack food and clothing. Minister Liu, send word to other countries asking them to prepare and transport grain to Jin Country to relieve our drought situation. Moreover, Lu Country is situated in a rich and fertile land, let them send more."
Prime Minister Liu bowed, "Yes."
Grandmaster Geng observed Prince Jin, "Your Majesty is wise, indeed it is appropriate to borrow grain from other countries to support our people."
"Borrow?"
Prince Jin raised an eyebrow, "How is it borrowing? Did I say borrow? I am having other countries supply grain for the sustenance of my subjects."
Uh?
Grandmaster Geng didn't know what to say.
This behavior of Prince Jin was indeed shameless, but it was very beneficial for Jin Country.
He wanted to say, well done.
