Farm Gate Business Tycoon

Chapter 191
After hearing her words, the fourth prince hastily knelt down before the emperor, "Your Majesty, Gu Qingmei's words are useless, please forgive me!"

But the emperor glared at him displeasedly, "Who said she was out of words, I haven't heard such frank words for a long time, Gu Qingmei, tell me, what is your idea to resist the aggression of the Tartars? "

"It's like this, my little girl heard from the Fourth Prince and Young Master Murong today that the border gates stretch for thousands of miles, but there are only a few gate cities. After they burned, killed and looted, they rushed to clean up the mess, which was useless for defense. So the little girl thought, why not build a city wall stretching thousands of miles on the border of our Suye Dynasty to resist foreign aggression? "

"Nonsense!" Bai Laoxiangguo had just suffered a loss from her, and he was already extremely angry in his heart. Hearing what she said, he immediately scolded. "How much manpower, material and financial resources will be spent on a city wall that stretches for thousands of miles? You little girl knows nothing, so you dare to come up with random ideas!"

Gu Qingmei saw that this old Bai Xiangguo was making trouble for her several times, so she couldn't help but retorted again: "This old man, no matter how much manpower, material and financial resources are spent, it is better than the people of my Suye Dynasty being killed by the Tartars. My Suye The food and money of the dynasty were plundered by the Tartars, and if this city wall is built, it will last for generations to come, and the emperor will be famous in history!"

"I'm afraid it will be infamy!" Old Bai Xiangguo said angrily. "Since the emperor came to the throne, he has been implementing benevolent government, low taxes, and the treasury has always been empty. Do you know how much it will cost to build a city wall that stretches thousands of miles? You are a little girl who sits in a well and looks at the sky. You don't understand anything. What a big breath!"

Gu Qingmei couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't say that the emperor should build the city wall in one day? Let alone a city wall that stretches for thousands of miles, it is impossible to build a city in a day, let alone a day, a year It may not be possible to build a city. This is a matter of great success, and it will naturally take a long time to do it. We can first build the path that the Tartars used to take, and use the lump sum to divide the border. The method, self-taught, extended to the two wings, and finally connected into a line."

"When it was built, a beacon tower was built every mile. There are not many beacon towers, just a few people stationed there. Report it out. In the end, only a few heavily guarded gates will be left, so that the Tartars can come in through normal channels to trade with us, using their cattle, horses, and hides to exchange our grain and cloth, and then accept them tariffs and increase the court's tax revenue."

"When the people have a place to live in, they can naturally farm and live in peace and security, and the number of robbers and bandits everywhere will decrease. With this city wall as a guarantee, the border gates will no longer need to be heavily guarded, and the court will save money. A large amount of military salary expenditure can be used to build the city wall. And the soldiers have all disarmed and returned to the fields, and went home to farm, so the fields no longer need to be left unused. Excuse me, my lord, where did I sit and watch the sky?"

She said the last sentence while staring at Old Bai Xiangguo.

Old Bai Xiangguo didn't expect her mind to be so active. Every word she said was well-founded, and she couldn't help but couldn't refute a single word. She stood there with a red face that was extremely fair and embarrassed. speechless.

Several adults around were also looking at her with admiration. One of the elders looked at her, and then at Murong Yu who was standing beside her with a proud expression, his eyes flashed thoughtful.

After a long while, he finally said, "Gu Qingmei, once my Suye Dynasty makes such a big move to build the city wall to protect the country, then the Tartars will definitely jump over the wall and move on hearing the wind. What if there is another military disaster?"

Gu Qingmei said in a deep voice, "Hit!"

"What if you can't beat it?"

Gu Qingmei sneered and said: "If it's a group arena, the individual's strength is very different. Some people win and lose, but it's another matter when two countries fight. Soldiers are tricky. When fighting, it depends on whose general has more evil spirits." Now, whoever studies the art of war thoroughly will be able to win the battle. My lord, do you think that the generals of my Suye dynasty are inferior to the Tartars in art of war?"

The old lady was not angry when she questioned her, but said calmly: "But for decades, we have been suffering under the hands of the Tartars. They only relied on guerrilla warfare to defeat us."

"The purpose of the Tartars is to rob things. Naturally, they will use guerrilla warfare to rob and leave, but if the purpose of the Tartars is on our land, they will not rob and leave." Although Gu Qingmei does not understand military affairs, But anyway, I have learned a few years of historical knowledge, so I talked about it.

"The Tatars are not fools either. They know that if we start building the city wall to protect the country, they will definitely use all the strength of the whole country to attack us in order to occupy our land. If this is the case, they will never engage in guerrilla warfare again, and they will definitely drive in with a large army. Occupy our cities. At that time, we only need to be prepared to abandon a few cities. After they enter the city, we will surround them with heavy troops and cut off their supplies. Even if they are hungry, they will starve to death. Destroy their leaders Troops, go northward, kill the capital of the Tatars, and force the King of the Tartars to write a letter of surrender. Although this battle is very dangerous, once it succeeds, it will buy us at least ten years to recuperate. Ten years , enough to build a city wall to protect the country.”

Old Bai Xiangguo sneered from the side, "You woman, you are just talking on paper, it's easy to say!"

When Gu Qingmei saw that he came to find fault with her again, she couldn't help but get angry, "I said, you old man, you grew up eating chili peppers, right? Why do you get so angry when you talk? You can't say anything." Is it easy to say? Yilaomaailao is talking about people like you! My Suye dynasty is a huge country, but I have been bullied by mere tartars for so many years, because there are too many people like you who are greedy for life and afraid of death in the court!"

"Nonsense, when did Ben Xiangguo become greedy for life and afraid of death? I ask you, if there is a war, where will the soldiers come from? Where will the money and food come from? It's not just people who fight in wars, but money and food!" Old Bai Xiangguo was so angry Lao Gao pouted his beard, and threw a series of questions to make things difficult for Gu Qingmei.

Gu Qingmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My lord, seeing that you speak so loudly, your position must be quite high, but I doubt it. How did you become such a high-ranking official? Let me ask you, Suye Dynasty, the most vicious People, where are they?"

When the old man next to her heard her question, his eyes lit up suddenly, and two balls of light burst out, as if he had figured something out.

Old Bai Xiangguo obviously didn't understand the meaning of her question, and said angrily: "Of course they are all locked in prison!"
