Not caring about anything else, Lin Fufu took a step closer to Princess Ruoshui, and his tone became very serious, "Your Highness, what do you mean, we have to fight Bei Rong again, so that they can experience our injustice. Is it annoying?"
Princess Ruoshui froze.
She also wants to fight. In her dreams, she wants to give Bei Rong a hard lesson in her lifetime. It is best to fight Bei Rong so that she will not dare to violate the border in the future.
But just as Lin Fufu guessed, Wei's treasury didn't have much silver left.
In the past, slowly accumulating millions of taels of silver, but recently the few moderate wars in the southwest frontier and the true west frontier have almost cost them.
Even if there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver left, they still have to be reserved for officials to pay their salaries.
Fortunately, it is now the day of the autumn harvest, and it is also the day when the common people pay taxes...
Lin Fufu saw that Princess Ruoshui was deep in thought, but she really wanted to start a war. She was silent for a while. It is best to deal with this situation calmly. If there is a disagreement and a war starts, it is of course not a good thing for the people of the two countries.
"Gospel, depending on what you mean, we'd better not use force?" Princess Ruoshui looked at her intently.
Seeing Princess Ruoshui asking her again, Lin Fufu immediately nodded, "Gospel doesn't think using force is the best choice!"
It wasn't that she turned her arm outwards, or that she admitted cowardice. It's just that when it comes to national affairs, it's about interests, not whether you or me are right or wrong.
"Then do you think we still have to open up the border counties and counties to do business with Beirong?" Princess Ruoshui's eyes flashed murderous, she was now angry and disappointed with Lin Fufu's performance.
Lin Fufu knew that Princess Ruoshui was actually a militant in her heart, and she actually had the same psychology for Beirong as the old emperor of Beirong had for Wei.
If she could eat Bei Rong, she would have eaten Bei Rong long ago and become the territory of Great Wei.
But Lin Fufu knows that at least for now, it is impossible!
Not to mention the actual strength of Great Wei, but Beirong has a Huangfu Jin, Princess Ruoshui's idea will be lost.
"Gospel, you have to know that this is clearly Bei Rong's mistake. They have already bullied us to the door. At this time, we still have to negotiate and trade. Wouldn't we let our people down and the court's inaction? Maybe Bei Rong sees us as weak Will bully us even more!"
Princess Ruoshui fixedly stared into Lin Fufu's eyes.
She deliberately used this question to test Lin Fufu, even if she was angry because of this matter again, and wanted to beat Bei Rong severely, and beat Bei Rong to be honest, she knew it was not now.
What makes her even more angry now is Lin Fufu's attitude.
Even if Lin Fufu told her that he would fight Beirong when Wei became stronger in the future, she would consider her to have passed the test.
But now
Princess Ruoshui was a little hesitant about what was to be announced tomorrow.
Lin Fufu was still young, so he didn't see that Princess Ruoshui wanted to test her.
Seeing that Princess Ruoshui was so excited or assertive, she also felt a little angry or disappointed in her heart.
She felt that Her Royal Highness Princess Ruoshui shouldn't be like this, and it had to be based on the national conditions of Great Wei.
Lin Fufu pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Ruoshui, "Your Highness, you know much more than Gospel. You should know that Beirong herdsmen harassed the common people on the Wei border. Wei is going to send troops to attack you to teach you a lesson? Actually? I dare not say whether we can withstand the exhaustion of fighting this war, nor whether our soldiers can win, even if we win this time, Bei If Rong counterattacks vigorously, how will we end?"
Princess Ruoshui didn't expect Lin Fufu to say such a thing, and she saw it so profoundly, she was stunned for a moment.
Lin Fufu raised his eyebrows, and continued: "Our Great Wei can't fall into the quagmire of war, right? If we really fall into the quagmire of war, the people will suffer, but we can guarantee that those restless countries bordering on the border will not take advantage of the fire ?"
If Princess Ruoshui is a powerful old politician, she naturally knows the meaning of Lin Fufu's words. She was dazed before but it was accidental that Lin Fufu thought clearly.
Now that she came back to her senses, she looked at Lin Fufu and smiled slightly, the corners of her lips curled up in satisfaction, "Well said!"
Seeing that she suddenly changed her tone and praised her, Lin Fufu was stunned.
"Let's talk about it, what should we do about this matter?" Princess Ruoshui stretched out her hand and patted the desk lightly.
Only then did Lin Fufu realize that Princess Ruoshui was simply trying to test her out, and it was inevitable that Princess Ruoshui really meant that she was an old fox.
But she knew that Princess Ruoshui's test was not over yet, and she also didn't want Princess Ruoshui to look down on her, so she lowered her head and thought carefully, then raised her head abruptly.
Princess Ruoshui saw that her aura had changed, and she became confident and firm, which filled her with strong hope again.
Regarding the disappointment she felt about Lin Fufu earlier, she also felt a little uncomfortable.
Lin Fufu has already talked eloquently.
"Your Highness, I think you should first send a trustworthy and capable confidant to the northwest border to investigate the authenticity or severity of this matter, and formulate a strategy according to the situation."
If Princess Water Chief nodded in approval, she would certainly be an unqualified decision-maker to make a decision based on a memo from the Chief Secretary of the Northwest.
Lin Fufu paused and continued: "If the situation is not true, His Highness should investigate the selfishness of the person who handed over the paper. If it is true but not serious, Gospel still thinks that it should be resolved through negotiation. If it is true and serious, then look at Bei Why on earth are the border residents on Rong's side harassing our border residents..."
"Well, well said, the specific problem will be solved in detail." Princess Ruoshui smiled, and she became more and more satisfied with Lin Fufu, but then changed the subject, staring into Lin Fufu's eyes and asked: "If it is true, It is also very serious, what do you think should be done?"
"If the Beirong herdsmen came to harass our border residents for food for the winter, then let the Beirong open their territory for trade. After all, we have already opened Qinglian County in the Great Wei Dynasty." Lin Fufu replied with bright eyes. Looking at Princess Ruoshui.
Princess Ruo Shuichang's eyes brightened when she heard the words, she had to say that she hadn't thought of how to deal with this matter, but was reminded by Lin Fufu, and she thought Lin Fufu's idea was very good.
But, it's not over yet.
"If it's true, we also proposed to let Beirong open the trade area, but they refused?"
Lin Fufu smiled slightly, and said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid Beirong is willing, after all, they are very envious of the prosperity of Qinglian County."
"What if they just refuse to open the trade zone because they are afraid of being infiltrated by the power of our Great Wei?" Princess Ruoshui stared at Lin Fufu with a smile in her eyes.
