Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 183
Fortunately, King Qin did not show up today, Gu Qingyou thought it was because only officials were invited.

Chang Le nodded and said: "Well, the day before yesterday, I received a battle report saying that the barbarians in the southeast took advantage of the spring to plant seeds and robbed the towns and counties on the border, causing casualties to the local people. "

Gu Qingyou opened her mouth slightly: "Exterminate directly? Isn't it a little cruel? The barbarians rob food seeds to survive, why not negotiate with them and exchange with other things?"

After being here for a while, she has a little understanding of the landscape here. There are many barbarian tribes in the southeast, and there are constant internal strife among the tribes. Even if they occasionally launch some provocations and looting against the Jin Dynasty, it will be difficult to achieve success.

Because of greed by nature, after the barbarians have harvested a good harvest, unlike the Han people, they have the habit of saving grain. In the coming spring, before the start of broadcasting, they will come to the border areas of Dajin to grab grain.

This has caused hardships for the people on the frontier. Every time this season comes, the doors of every house are closed, and every house even has a very secret cellar, just to prevent the barbarians from stealing the food.

After hearing Gu Qingyou's words, Changle said disdainfully: "It's not that the imperial court never thought of recruiting them, but those barbarians are seldom educated, but they have poor bones, and they refuse to submit to life and death. They made trouble again and wiped them all out in one go, saving future trouble."

Gu Qingyou does not agree with this point of view. After all, it is not easy to completely wipe out a nation. Even if those barbarians have their own schemes, in the face of life and death, they will definitely join hands to defend against foreign enemies. It is really not wise to take a strong attack Method.

As long as they are human, they will have plans. They refused to agree before, and it is likely that the recruiting conditions proposed by Da Jin failed to satisfy the other party.

You can imagine with your knees that the Jin army is strong and powerful, and it is self-proclaimed that it is a big country. When negotiating with others, it is inevitable to assume a superior posture. ?

When Changle was young, he went to the military camp with his father, and happened to encounter a failed negotiation. Taking advantage of their envoy's return journey, the gang of barbarians directly took the man hostage, and then the lion opened his mouth and exchanged several thousand catties with the court. rations.

At that time, the emperor Longyan was furious, he would rather damage a few envoys than let them succeed, at worst he would send troops directly to the border. It is believed that with the disparity in strength between the two sides, the barbarians could be wiped out within five days.

Coincidentally, one of the envoys was Madam Jing'anhou's natal nephew. He went to the border in the name of experience. He thought that going to the negotiation would be a surefire deal, and he just came back for a promotion because of his performance, but he encountered this incident.

Mrs. Jing'an Hou got the news, she entered the palace immediately to ask the queen for help, and asked her to explain to the emperor that she must keep her only nephew, but only one person came out to cause gossip, the emperor couldn't bear the empress's repeated pleas , unintentionally agreed to this condition, which was regarded as humiliation.

Since then, this matter has become a thorn in the emperor's heart, day and night dreaming only to get rid of the barbarians and then quickly.

Now that they are rushing to die, the emperor will naturally not tolerate it anymore.

Listening to her analysis, Gu Qingyou also knew that it would not happen overnight to reach a reconciliation between the two parties, but the soul of a nation cannot be destroyed. The emperor's thoughts on barbarians are just like the Communist Party's treatment of Jews. Ancient.

Enmity is like weaving a web, and it will only get deeper and deeper. Why not dredge the knots when they are budding, so that the exchanges between the two parties are mutually beneficial, and wouldn't it be better to cooperate and win-win?

Chang Le was amazed that she, a commoner, would have such an opinion in governing the country and calming chaos, but she still shook her head and said: "As you said, mutual benefit and reciprocity, pay attention to the word "mutual". What's more, they have nothing else to sell except cattle and sheep, and they have no choice but to exchange them."

"That's not true. The climate in the south is hotter and humid than ours. Besides cattle and sheep, there are also a lot of fruits. These can be traded!"

Dajin people like to eat mutton, but because of its high price, ordinary people can’t eat it often, and cattle are used for farming, and they can’t be slaughtered at will. Even farm cattle that die of illness or old age have to be reported and approved by the government before they can eat meat. , otherwise it can only be buried.

"There is some truth in what you said, but it's a long way from there, and it's hard to transport the cattle and sheep alive. If they are slaughtered in advance, I'm afraid they will already stink when they are transported."

"It's easy to say, we can't transport fresh meat, we can transport bacon, dried meat and fur, or simply set up a post station for exchanging materials at the junction of the two parties, we will send the rare things of Dajin there, and exchange them When the best beef, mutton and fur come back, everyone can get what they need, and there is no need to add casualties, I believe they will be willing."

Chang Le looked at her thoughtfully, and didn't speak for a long time, Gu Qingyou couldn't help but feel a little regretful, did she talk too much today?With Gu's temper, I'm afraid he won't talk about state affairs.

It wasn't until Gu Qingyou was flustered that Chang Le suddenly smiled and said: "You are a young girl who has never been out of the door, not only is your business flourishing, but you are even thorough in politics."

Gu Qingyou repeatedly denied: "These are not something that a woman of the people came up with, I just forgot in which casual book I read the allusion of the trade route established between a big country and a remote small country, thinking that I am asking us about the situation It’s the same, so I’m showing off.”

"This is the benefit of reading more books. No knowledge is superfluous. Unfortunately, reading is what I hate the most since I was a child. Others have their own golden houses in books. In my eyes, those mung bean-sized black characters are like Very sleepy, it makes people sleepy."

Changle laughed at herself. For a long time, she has always believed that those dreams are one of the proofs that they happened in reality, that is, the words in the book. By leaving, I did not intend to leave an impression of being stubborn and ignorant to the world.

Listening to the chat between the two, Tuanzi felt that there was nothing missing. From time to time, he squeezed a piece of popcorn from the table and put it in his mouth, but didn't chew it.

"Aunt Lele, why haven't you arrived yet? I remember seeing the open space very quickly."

The little guy was lying on the window weakly, but the mountain road was difficult to walk, the carriage bumped endlessly, and the little chin that put him on the window sill was painful.

"Usually I ride a horse, so I walk naturally fast. Now that I change to a carriage, if I go so fast, the car will fall apart."

Chang Le took out a piece of candy to coax him: "Persist for a while, it will be there soon - don't tell me that I gave you candy when you go back!"

"Yes! Your Royal Highness!"

After eating the candy, the dumpling's mouth became extremely sweet. Sitting on the couch, dangling her two calves, she said happily: "I knew that my aunt brought the candy, so I would have walked more slowly!"
