As the crown prince, he served as the young prime minister, opened a government office, and managed the military and political affairs of the country.

This is to directly allow himself to manage the entire country and hand over the power of governance to his prince in advance!

"Father, this..."

"Don't think too much."

Seemingly sensing Qi Lan's doubts, Qi Yun immediately waved his hand and said relaxedly:

"As a father, I just want you to discover the method of amber crystal sugar first, which will bring a lot of wealth to our country. You will also develop the method of composting and retting, which can greatly increase the food supply. At the same time, you will act calmly and moderately, and you will be quite talented in governing the country. In the future, you may be able to do what Yi Yin and Fu Shuo said. If you have talents and ideas that can benefit the country, you should have the authority to try and implement them."

Yi Yin and Fu Yue were both well-known ministers in the history of the Shang Dynasty. They were not only good at governing the country, but also had high achievements in other fields.

The former improved the manufacturing of bronzes, and was also proficient in brewing, seasoning, and cooking. He was the ancestor of decoctions in the history of traditional Chinese medicine. The latter improved the art of building and built many innovative methods in city defense, roads, and building construction.

Qi Lan made yellow rock sugar from malt sugar and standardized and improved fertilizers, which could greatly increase grain production. Viscount Changxi compared these two great sages to Qi Lan, which can be said to be appropriate and highly praised.

"I understand, kid. It's just that the affairs of the country are complicated and the young master has many responsibilities. I'm afraid..."

Qi Lan cupped her hands towards her father.

"No need to worry, your father, I still know that your focus now must be on martial arts, bravery and diligence, and the trivial matters of governing the country. My father is not old yet, and he has many doctors to assist him. You only need to use this power when you think you need to use it."

"Thank you father."

That night, the front hall of Changxizi Mansion was brightly lit and full of people.

A feast is a big banquet where everyone celebrates together, and it has etiquette requirements.

Although it is said to be a grand feast, the scale is naturally not comparable to that of the great princes, but for Changxi State, it is already a rare event throughout the year.

In the hall, several large cauldrons are lined up, cooking pigs and sheep.

Clan elders, ministers, army commanders, warriors from various families, as well as prominent craftsmen and wealthy households in the town, filled the front hall and the side halls on both sides.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was getting hot.

"Young Master has advanced in martial arts and entered the realm of the earth at the age of sixteen. He is actually the first person in Changxi in several generations. It's a revelation!"

An elder from the clan raised the Tao Jue and congratulated loudly.

Qi Lan stood up with the wine in hand and drank the wine in one gulp.

On this occasion, all he had to do was drink, receive congratulations, show stability and magnanimity, and there was not much else to say.

While he was drinking, a figure leaning on a dove staff walked slowly over from the side hall.

Thank you for your praise, thank you Taigong.
