Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine

Xinping also understood at this time, she opened her eyes wide, looked at the long barren fertile fields in the distance behind her, and said slowly: "No wonder when we came, those seedlings were sparse, because more than 70% of the Seeds are impossible to grow food."

Zhu Feng said: "It's also because these seedlings are out of power that the predecessor of the Yue Kingdom met with us. After he got new food, he let people trample on those seedlings without pity."

Zhu Chengjun said: "It will completely cut off their food route here!"

Zhu Feng nodded.

Xinping stood there and was silent for a while before saying, "My son understands. The group of people in Jinling, who robbed the grain carts that were transported to Yue, must have discovered this, and the royal father wanted to keep it a secret. No one can know that the father is going to use troops against the Yue Kingdom, so he has played with food, so—"

She raised her head and looked at Zhu Feng: "My father only let them kill them all..."

Zhu Feng's eyes were firm and a little soft, and he said, "I told you just now that those who achieve great things are informal."

"…"

"There is another saying, "If you want to achieve great goodness, do not stick to small evils."

"…"

"As the emperor, my plan is for the well-being of the people in the world. If anything goes wrong in this battle, the lives and deaths of the people on the border that have been destroyed in front of me, and what will be implicated in the future, may be the safety of the entire Yan Kingdom."

"…"

"So, I killed them."

"…"

Xinping didn't speak, as if he was chewing this sentence, and at the same time as if he was thinking about the meaning of his persistence these days, the small and thin body trembled slightly.

After a long time, she said softly: "My son understands the concerns of the father and the emperor."

"…"

"However, Erchen also hopes that such 'little evil' will not happen again in the future, at least, not often."

"…"

"Those, after all, are also the children of the father emperor."

Zhu Feng didn't speak, just looked at her calmly. After a long time, he smiled and gently stroked her face: "It's your mother's daughter after all."

At the same time, Li Wushang had already whispered the first of the three national policies listed in the credentials.

This, he was not surprised.

When he was aware of the food crisis in the country of Yue, he gradually understood Zhu Feng's strategic layout over the years, but it was too late whether he was scolding Li Wuyu for being short-sighted or sighing Zhu Feng's scheming.

In the matter of food, they had almost no bargaining chip to negotiate with Yan Guo, and could only let it go.

Besides, the trade of raw silk and grain between the two countries continues, but the price of raw silk will drop by half, which is not necessarily a bad thing for them. Only if their own country can support their own people, they will not be like this time. Stuck neck.

So, Li Wushang said, "I accept this first rule."

Nan Yan was not surprised, she lowered her eyelashes and nodded: "Yes."

She said by saying, "Then the second rule, I believe Your Majesty can accept it."

"…"

Li Wushang did not speak immediately.

The second article of the credentials is to require the five cities on the border of Vietnam to open ports for trade.

This requirement is actually an additional condition of the previous requirement. Since the country of Yan wants to start the trade of raw silk and grain with the country of Yue again, and the country of Yue is currently in such a large shortage of food, it is natural that a large number of merchants will follow. Reciprocity, only opening Doubei Town is naturally not enough to meet the needs of this situation.

If the public sector is not open, the merchants below will open the black market, and as a result, taxation will be a big problem.

Therefore, it is better to let go of the five cities directly.

This is good for both the Yan Kingdom and the Yue Kingdom.

However, Li Wushang remained silent and did not speak.

Nan Yan has been looking at him calmly. In fact, she has more patience than Li Wushang, but, in such a hot weather, everyone is like a fire on a baking tray, almost drying up.

So, she said lightly: "Why, does Your Majesty still have concerns about this?"

When Li Wushang looked up at her, although his eyes were full of haze, his tone was subconsciously softer. After a while, he slowly said, "Is this his handwriting again?"

Nan Yan smiled lightly, and there was a bit of coldness in the smile.

"This is a national letter. Since it is a national letter, it is naturally at the behest of a country's monarch. Is there any problem?"

"…"

"Or, you can't accept this second rule?"

"…"

"If this is the case, then I am afraid that this palace will also doubt the sincerity of your peace talks."

Li Wushang said solemnly, "You don't have to force me like this. You should know that this second clause seems insignificant and is not enough to be written on the credential. The reason why he wrote it down is because of the third clause!"

In the pergola on the other side, the two children are still racking their brains thinking about how to write in the credential.

Xinping shook his head: "Erchen really can't think of it."

"…"

"Erchen can only think of raising the price of food so that they can no longer take advantage of us. For the rest, I really don't know what to do with them."

Zhu Feng looked at her for a long time, but in the end he just smiled, pinched her gently, and said, "My daughter is benevolent and kind, and she is a kind person."

Xinping was not happy because of this compliment. Instead, he glanced at Zhu Feng cautiously and said, "Father, your son shouldn't be too kind, right?"

Zhu Feng said: "Ci is not in charge of soldiers."

"…"

"You are my daughter, the princess of golden branches and jade leaves, and you don't need to go out to fight, naturally I hope you are honest and kind."

Although this sentence was meant to comfort her, it was for Zhu Chengjun, the king of Han, who was on the side.

From the first day he entered the military camp, he was told that he would not be merciful and not command the soldiers. Those who were too kind not only could not command the troops, but especially as a prince, he could not even live in that turbulent world, so he was at peace. The princess can't think of it, and she doesn't have to think about it, because she can live under the protection of her father all her life, but he can't.

He must shoulder his responsibilities, protect his mother and sister, and even protect the entire Dayan Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chengjin bit his lower lip, his small face full of solemn expression.

After a long time, he said: "Father, my son has thought of one."

Zhu Feng looked up at him: "Oh? Tell me, what will you write on your credentials?"

Zhu Chengjun said cautiously: "My son will ask them to have no military mansion in the border cities, and their permanent troops should not exceed 5,000."

"…"

Zhu Feng did not speak, but a light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
