Eat and Sleep Well

 "I can understand if His Highness wants food. If he asks for pigs, cows, and sheep, I can treat it as if His Highness wanted to eat something good. However, this request for cloth, weaving looms, and grain seeds… Gosh! Why does it look like something is amiss?"

 Those who could become the Imperial Family's trusted aides were not fools. They could discern something amiss with just a moment's thinking.

 "Could it be that His Highness has encountered some trouble over there?"

 What kind of trouble would require grain seeds to solve?
