While Tianshi Xue was trying not to laugh at Empress Li Xiu's presentation on how they could make livelihood for the people in the slave's quarters, Prince Qui was in a meeting of his own with his father and the crown prince.
Meetings with them mostly involved a few more other high-ranking official who present reports about the progress in different fields of Heping like crime rate and how well was the military doing and were the kingdoms underneath them still progressing in the same pace as they were.
The only papers that Prince Qui was interested in were, of course, the ones relating to soldiers. He had made a subtle suggestion last meeting that they should try to recruit more and enforce a more rigid program in the training. He got a few confused looks but they all made a note of it in their papers.
