章 718: Chapter 319: Chu State Dominates

"With elite soldiers, abundant supplies, this level of reserves within Great Chu, I owe it all to you gentlemen."

After accounting for the resources at their disposal, Lu Yuan, filled with delight, scanned the ministers present at the gathering and gave credit where credit was due.

"We dare not take the credit."

"This is all due to Your Majesty's effort."

The attendants, one by one, paid their respects, not daring to accept the praise.

"Ha ha!"

At that sight, Lu Yuan laughed loudly and waved to the gathered officials. "Gentlemen, there's no need for this. I could conquer the world, but I couldn't govern it. The only contribution I could make to governance is to appoint the wise and capable, and let everyone do their part.

The present prosperity of Chu State has been possible only due to the contributions of the many talented scholars gathered here. I would not dare to compete with my ministers for accolades."
