Nan Yan was stunned when he heard it.
Although I have heard them discuss state affairs before, but this time I realized that there are so many big and small problems in governing the country.
And Zhu Feng, who was born in the army, would also have the idea of expanding the Western Regions and maritime trade.
It's not easy!
After hearing what they said, Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "Could it be that our dependence on the silk from the Yue Kingdom is so strong?"
Jian Ruocheng and Ye Zheng looked at each other silently, without speaking.
But the answer is self-evident.
Zhu Feng thought for a while and said, "If so, how about we change the rice into mulberry?"
Jian Ruocheng hurriedly said: "Last night, I also calculated this account, it's not worth it. Our country mainly produces silk in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, but the terrain in this area has seven mountains, one water and two fields, and the rice grown by the farmers can barely support them. If we replant mulberry seedlings—not to mention that mulberry seedlings will take many years to survive and supply, if there is no food in the farmers’ fields, I’m afraid they will starve to death that year.”
Zhu Feng frowned even more after hearing his words.
He said: "However, it is not a good thing to rely too much on them."
Jian Ruocheng said: "This is the second question I have considered."
"Oh? Say it."
"Our trade with Yue is mainly raw silk and grain. Our country needs raw silk, but what Yue needs is grain."
"..."
"We have a great demand for raw silk. Once the supply is cut off, our trade will be affected, but people will not starve to death."
"..."
"Food is not."
Zhu Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Jian Ruocheng said again: "Your Majesty, although they depend on each other, there is a distinction between primary and secondary."
"..."
"Moreover, we let this dependence continue to strengthen. Once this dependence is broken, whichever side suffers more damage will have a greater chance of winning!"
Zhu Feng looked at Jian Ruocheng, and after a while, he said with a half-smile, "Ruochen, I thought you were just a scholar."
Jian Ruocheng said: "Reading is for understanding, and understanding is for the peace and stability of the country."
Zhu Feng said: "If it's what you think, and you can solve this matter without bloodshed, it will be a merit of all ages."
Jian Ruocheng smiled.
Zhu Feng said again: "However, are you really going to the camp of the Yue Kingdom? What if Xia Houjiu attacks you?"
"He didn't dare. He lost two games in a row, and now he is still having a headache, how to go back to the country to explain to the monarch and ministers of the Yue country."
"..."
"In this case, he needs to accomplish one thing, whether it is a war or a peace negotiation, he must have a result to show to the monarchs and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, otherwise, his reputation will be ruined."
"..."
"So at this time, we throw him something, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely pick it up."
"Then, how many people do you take with you?"
"No need, I can do it alone."
"you alone?"
Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment.
And Nan Yan at the side was shocked when he heard him say that.
He went to the enemy country's military camp alone, and it was last night—no, it should be this morning, the military camp that was just attacked by Yan country's army. In this situation, can he still live
Ye Zheng also said, "This won't work."
"..."
"At least there must be a time for relaxation. They have just been attacked now. I am afraid that the corpses have not been disposed of. If you go at this time, there will be more or less bad luck."
Nan Yan was beside her, and although no one asked her, she nodded.
