0371 Economic Strategy, Cultural Invasion
Chu Yan quickly fell into deep thought.
In the past, he only knew that the barbarians liked to go south and knock on the border, and they had a feud with them, and they could never finish killing.
But they never thought carefully about why the barbarians did this, and even they could find another way to let the barbarians rob others!
Now listening to Su Jinli's analysis, he actually has a feeling that he has seen the sun and suddenly opened up!
He's not stupid, he's just never been told this before, so he never thought he'd be able to do it!
"My father once commanded soldiers to fight outside the pass, but those barbarians were so poor that after every fight, there was not much benefit at all except burning and killing, but the consumption was not small.
Now that I think about it, the reason why those barbarians went south to raid was because they knew that there were more benefits to going south to raid.
However, just like this, the mutual market was opened, and the king still felt that it was cheaper for them. β
Chu Yan had already decided to persuade Emperor Yong'an to open a mutual market, but he really didn't have a good impression of those barbarians.
So when he spoke, his tone was still reluctant.
And he couldn't think of any benefit to the Tianlong Kingdom in addition to reducing the war.
But after finishing speaking, he suddenly became nervous again, for fear that Su Jinli would be unhappy.
So he subconsciously looked at Su Jinli, wanting to hear what she would say.
But I heard Su Jinli say: "It's just that if that's the case, it's really cheaper for them." Doing so now is just a delaying tactic.
When our soldiers and war horses are more majestic, they can naturally fight out and grab the place.
Not only that, but it can also send embassies and merchant missions to various countries, establish embassies, promote Confucian culture, and develop trade.
Embassies and schools can be built by them, and we can send people there when the time comes.
The Celestial Dragon is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it is their honor that we are willing to send envoys to our subjects to teach the scriptures and lectures. β
"This ......" Chu Yan looked at Su Jinli in surprise, "It's too cheap for them!" β
In his opinion, those subject countries were barbarian lands, and sending envoys to the past not to mention it, but also to teach scripture lectures, would be too exalted to them.
Su Jinli shook his head secretly when he heard this, Chu Yan was too naΓ―ve, and he didn't know the horror of cultural invasion.
She smiled and said: "The imperial court sends envoys over, and the daily needs of the envoys should naturally be provided by the subject country.
In order for the envoys to feel at home, it was necessary to send merchants to open liquor shops and teahouses.
In order to protect the safety of the envoys and merchants, another guard should be dispatched. The daily necessities and salaries of these guards should naturally be provided by the subject countries.
The prince thinks that all the things add up, how many people should be sent? β
When Chu Yan heard this, he quickly understood what Su Jinli meant.
He may not understand business matters. But he is very sensitive to this guard arrangement.
The imperial court has always had strict regulations on the number of guards for the vassal kings in various places, because as long as they are not fools, they know that once there are more guards, the vassal kings will have the capital to rebel!
The imperial court sent envoys, and the number of guards was certainly not comparable to that of the vassal king.
But as long as they send people, they can plant nails in the past.
Chu Yan asked curiously, "What if they don't agree?" β
This kind of condition, a fool will agree, right?
Su Jinli chuckled and asked, "The imperial court is willing to send Confucians to teach them the science of saints, who would refuse?" If you can even refuse the learning of the saints, isn't it willing to be a barbarian, disloyal and unjust? β
Chu Yan didn't have a good impression of those sour Confucians, and when he heard Su Jinli say this, he still felt incredible.
What is there to learn about those things that are so important?
But this time he didn't say more, but secretly made up his mind to discuss it with his henchmen tomorrow.
Many of his staff members were Confucian scholars, and it was most appropriate to ask them about lectures.
Su Jinli didn't say any more, after all, it was too early to say this.
She deliberately said this to Chu Yan, hoping that he would be able to propose it to Emperor Yong'an.
If Emperor Yong'an can be convinced, just by opening a mutual market and sending envoys, economic warfare and cultural invasion will have an absolute effect.
Those who can listen to lectures in subject countries are definitely the children of the powerful.
can also take the opportunity to brainwash and cultivate their loyalty and patriotism. When the time comes, recruit another wave of international students, and you can make another profit.
However, it will take time to build embassies and academies, and I am afraid that there will be some trouble in this matter.
Su Jinli touched her hair and found that it was almost dry, so she stood up and prepared to lie down and go to bed.
As a result, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Chu Yan: "This king's hair is still wet, Su Bao'er, don't you want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?" β
Su Jinli glanced at him, raised her eyebrows and asked, "But I just told the prince so much, and the prince wants me to wipe my hair, what benefits do you plan to give me?" β
Chu Yan frowned: "When there are no outsiders, you can call this king's name." β
Su Jinli was as kind as a stream, and asked with a smile: "So, what benefits does Ah Yan plan to give me?" β
When Chu Yan heard this "Ah Yan", he only felt that the flame in his heart was ignited instantly, and the blood all over his body became hot.
He opened his mouth, but his voice was unusually hoarse: "You ......"
As soon as he said a word, he couldn't go on. His body is getting hotter and hotter, and he is afraid that he will make a fool of himself if he is not careful.
Su Jinli looked at his instantly flushed cheeks, and couldn't help but laugh and tease: "Ah Yan just wants me to help you wipe your hair, but doesn't plan to give me benefits?" β
Chu Yan asked nervously, "You...... What benefits do you want? β
"I think-" Su Jinli deliberately lengthened her voice, "If you live alone, Ah Yan will promise me?" β
"Alone?" Chu Yan seemed to have been poured cold water on his head, and his face instantly became condensed, "Su Bao'er, do you want to be angry with this king!" This kind of thing is impossible! You are the princess of this king, and you can only live with this king! β
Su Jinli secretly rolled her eyes, she knew that Chu Yan would not agree.
Is it necessary to be so angry, though?
Isn't it just sleeping in separate rooms?
How normal.
People are so big, don't you think it's unaccustomed to multiple people in bed?
She scolded for a while, looking at Chu Yan's handsome face, but she wasn't very angry.
Although Chu Yan didn't agree, his face was still very eye-catching.
Su Jinli comforted herself silently, but said, "Ah Yan, you hurt me." β
Chu Yan subconsciously let go of his hand.
Su Jinli immediately dodged, flew to the bed, wrapped in the quilt, and looked at him triumphantly: "Since Ah Yan refuses to agree, then let's wipe my hair by myself." β
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a puff of white smoke rising above Chu Yan's head!
Su Jinli's eyes widened: "!! β
Chu Yan came to the bedside step by step, and his hair became drier and drier.
He was originally angry, but looking at Su Jinli's dumbfounded appearance, he suddenly felt less angry again.
"Su Bao'er, you didn't expect that, right?"
