Chapter 1439 Consideration
"Once we start a war with Dongyi Kingdom, it will drag the whole country down. At that time...we will need to mobilize food and grass. The land of Yan Kingdom is implementing the new law of the Great Zhou. Your Majesty, do you want to mobilize it?" Dong Qingping spread his hands, "If you don't mobilize...the court of Yan Kingdom will be dissatisfied! If you mobilize...the people of Yan Kingdom have not yet felt the benefits of the Great Zhou's new law. Instead, if they want to mobilize food and grass, the people will be dissatisfied with the Great Zhou's new policy? What will happen in the future? Will it better cooperate with our Dazhou officials? Your Majesty... this is not worth the candle!"
Lu Taiwei also nodded: "Your Majesty, you can move your whole body with just one hair. The old minister agrees with what Dong Situ said. The old minister knows that your Majesty can't swallow this tone. We can send envoys to Dongyi to return the body of King Hancheng, and let Dongyi give it to you." Let me say this, promise Dongyi Kingdom... If the Seventh Prince is in our Dazhou, our Dazhou will definitely send him back, warn Dongyi Kingdom to be more peaceful, and tell you bluntly... Our Dazhou is now betting on the country and does not want to cause trouble. But if the Dongyi Kingdom is restless, we Dazhou don’t mind destroying this tiny country first, what does your Majesty say?”
Taiwei Lv pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a compromise.
"Yes!" Dong Qingping nodded again and again, "If you want to live in peace, or destroy the country, as long as the monarch of Dongyi Kingdom is not a lunatic, he will choose!"
"Sister, Mie Dongyi, I'll go..." Bai Qingyu said.
"Ayu!" Dong Qingping's eyes widened, as if he felt that at this juncture, if Bai Qingyu didn't help persuade Bai Qingyan, why would he add fuel to the fire and say to destroy Dongyi?
Bai Qingyan looked at his sister, he could understand her anger... and her grief, as well as her guilt.
The Dongyi Kingdom will not be destroyed, and the anger and guilt in Ajie's heart are hard to overcome, and... Dongyi dared to stab Da Zhou, just as Ajie said, he should bear Da Zhou's anger.
Bai Qingyu raised her eyes to look at her uncle, and said in a low voice, "Uncle, Lu Taiwei, Dongyi Kingdom is now taking the initiative to provoke, if our Dazhou endures this tone, it will be equivalent to being pinched by Dongyi Kingdom. Let them think that our Great Zhou is betting with the Yan Kingdom, so they dare not fight with their Dongyi Kingdom, so they become more and more rampant!"
Bai Qingqi also agreed with Bai Qingyu's statement, nodding her head: "And Dongyi Kingdom has tasted the sweetness, and it will definitely make progress!"
"Besides making progress, Dongyi Kingdom will also be afraid that our Da Zhou will win the betting country this time, and after taking Yan Kingdom into its pocket, we will trouble Dongyi Kingdom with them..." Bai Jinxiu lowered her eyes and said slowly "Naturally, the Dongyi Kingdom will be closer to the Yan Kingdom, and will spare no effort to prevent Da Zhou from winning this gambling country!"
"So, since we still have to fight in the end, why bother... this time to send envoys into Dongyi to swallow his anger? It should be the envoys who will bring back Master Liu and all the treasures that Master Liu brought back!" Bai Jinzhi couldn't hold back anymore. "Otherwise, who knows that the Dongyi Congress will use the treasures sent by our Great Zhou as military resources, and together with Tianfeng Kingdom and Yan Kingdom, will trip up our Great Zhou!"
Lu Taiwei and Dong Qingping also understand that what these princes said is reasonable, but right now they think... the safest way is to stabilize Dongyi and win the gambling country first!
Otherwise, if it was because of this battle that Dongyi was destroyed, it would be a relief, and if he lost the game of gambling, he would not be making wedding clothes for the country of Yan!
At that time, Bai Qingyan will be the first emperor in history who lost his country because of a gamble!
Dong Qingping, as Bai Qingyan's uncle, and Lv Taiwei, as Bai Qingyan's most trusted minister, naturally couldn't just watch such a thing happen.
Bai Qingjue, who has never said a word, knows in his heart that the best way is to subdue the Dongyi country, or even destroy it, but...he is also worried that because of the First World War, the gambling country will lose. The infamy of the king, his eldest sister... I dare not say that she is the best emperor in the world, but she must be the emperor who cares most about the people. He does not want to see such a result.
"Your Majesty, Lord Wei Bugong has arrived..." Wei Zhong stepped into the palace gate and reminded in a low voice.
Bai Qingyan raised her eyes and said, "Let Wei Bugong come in..."
Taiwei Lu heard that Bai Qingyan was going to call Wei Bugong in, so he knew that Bai Qingyan was determined to attack the Dongyi Kingdom, and he was probably asking Wei Bugong to raise food and grass.
Lu Taiwei's palms tightened tightly, and the princes also made it very clear that there are disadvantages in not fighting, so...Since His Majesty has already given up, let's fight!
Dong Qingping also listened to Bai Qingyu's words and the words of the other children of the Bai family. He who originally supported not to fight is also vacillating now.
Soon Wei Bugong hurried into the hall, saw several princes, Lu Taiwei, and Dong Situ were all there, saluted, and was called by Bai Qingyan to come in and sit down.
Although Wei Bugong is also an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the first time he has experienced such a situation where His Majesty has no airs and sits with his ministers to discuss matters, and he is still a little cautious.
"Come to think of it, Ayu and the others understood what Lu Taiwei and uncle said!" Seeing that his brothers and sisters had understood everything, Bai Qingyan picked up the imperial decree he had written just now from the table and handed it to Lu Taiwei, "Lu Taiwei and uncle are nothing more than worried that after the fight, the distribution of food and grass will affect the gambling country when it involves the promotion of the Zhou Law by the Yan Kingdom."
"Great Zhou State Bonds?" Lu Taiwei looked at the imperial decree, but he didn't understand, so he knew all these four words, and he didn't know what they meant when they were added together.
Wei Bugong cheered up when he heard Da Zhou Bond. Isn't this... something he and His Majesty have talked about several times now, but he didn't name it in his mind or in the memorials he presented to His Majesty. , and now... Your Majesty even named it the Great Zhou Kingdom Bond, but it is very appropriate.
The bonds of the Great Zhou Kingdom, as the name suggests... are the debts owed by the Great Zhou, allowing those who have spare capacity in the country to spend money to buy bonds, just like lending money to the Great Zhou... After a period of time, the Great Zhou will Return the principal and interest to the person who bought the bond.
"Once upon a time, when Master Wei Bugong led the order to go to the disaster relief, in order to prevent starvation from happening everywhere, he issued IOUs with other cities to transport food. This incident gave me a lot of inspiration, so... Wei and I Disrespectful to discussing the country, if there is any emergency in Da Zhou and the tax money cannot be collected, can this kind of IOU be introduced in Da Zhou... a method of receiving money from people who have spare money in the hands of the people! "Bai Qing spoke slowly. She and Wei Bugong have discussed this matter many times, and Wei Bugong also handed in several implementation measures.
Originally, Bai Qingyan wanted to think about it again, but now if he wants to go to war with Dongyi Kingdom, he can no longer think about it.
