The Village Doctress Chapter 490: Test
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 it Ours is not easy to mess with?"
Princess Ruoshui froze.
She also wants to fight, and in her dreams, she wants to give Bei Rong a serious lesson in her lifetime.
But just as Lin Fufu guessed, Wei's treasury did not have much money.
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 for the common people to 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.
"Fufu, according to what you mean, we'd better not use force?" Princess Ruoshui looked at her intently.
When Lin Fufu saw Princess Ruoshui asking her again, he nodded immediately, "Gospel thinks that using force is not the best choice!"
It's not that her arms are turned away, nor is it that she admits 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 the counties and counties on the border to trade with Beirong?" Princess Ruoshui's eyes flashed murderous, she was now angry and disappointed with Lin Fufu's performance stand up.
Lin Fufu knows that Princess Ruoshui is actually a militant in her heart, and she actually has the same mentality for Beirong as the old emperor of Beirong did for Wei.
If she could eat Bei Rong, she would have eaten Bei Rong long ago and become the territory of the Great Wei.
But Gospel Lin 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 thoughts will be lost.
"Gospel, you have to know that this is obviously Bei Rong's mistake. They have already bullied us at 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 Seeing our weakness 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 Bei Rong when Wei became stronger in the future, she would consider her to have passed the test.
But now?
Princess Ruoshui is a little hesitant about what will 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 arbitrary, she also felt a little angry or disappointed in her heart.
She felt that Her Royal Highness Princess Ruoshui should not be like this, and she had to consider the national conditions of Great Wei.
Lin Fufu pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows and looked at Princess Ruoshui, "Your Highness, you know more than Gospel. You should know that Beirong herdsmen harassed the common people on the Wei border. It was Beirong's fault. , my Great 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, and I dare not say whether our soldiers can win, even if we win this time Now, if the Beirong counterattacks vigorously, how will we end?"
Princess Ruoshuichang didn't expect Lin Fufu to say this, 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, and we can guarantee the other restless countries bordering on the border. Don't they take advantage of the fire?"
Princess Ruoshui is a powerful old politician, so she naturally knows the meaning of Lin Fufu's words.
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.
It was only then that Lin Fufu realized 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 made her feel strong hope again.
For 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 Shuichang nods her head in approval, she is certainly not a qualified decision maker just to make a decision based on the notes of 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 It depends on why the border residents on the Beibei side want to harass our border residents..."
"Well, well said, the specific problem will be solved in detail." Princess Ruoshui smiled and 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, how do you think it should be dealt with?"
"If the Beirong herdsmen came to harass our border residents for food for the winter, then let Beirong open their territory for trade. After all, we have already opened Qinglian County in the Great Wei Dynasty." Lin Fufu's eyes were bright. Brightly looked back at Princess Ruoshui.
Princess Ruoshuichang'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 is 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 refuse 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.
