Rebirth: Lie down with the system

On the way, Murong Jin also asked why his fourth brother Murong Li was not there.

Shi Qing shook his head. He didn't see him much now, and he didn't know what this kid was busy with. He was out of the palace all day long, sometimes staying away from home for several days and nights.

Without Murong Li's company, Shi Qing still felt a little empty.

What on earth did this boy do out of the palace?

If he hadn't watched Murong Li grow up, understood his character, and knew that Murong Li was not a arrogant and licentious person, otherwise Shi Qing would have taken him back with a stick and tortured him.

In just two-quarters of an hour, the two of them arrived at Yuqing Palace.

The Yuqing Palace was not as lively as Shi Qing thought. There were only the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince's two sons, not even the concubine.

Shi Qing looked at Murong Jin in surprise.

Understanding his question, Murong Jin explained, "I am just organizing a full moon banquet for myself in the palace. I don't want to be too extravagant."

Shi Qing could tell that Murong Jin still liked his daughter very much. He always smiled when talking about her daughter.

Shi Qing nodded to express his understanding. He didn't care whether it was hot or not. Just invite him to participate, just to see if the Murong family's genes were still that strong.

The Crown Princess is a beautiful and dignified woman, the granddaughter of Wang Liuqing, the former imperial master. At this time, she is holding a red baby with a loving look on her face.

Seeing the prince leading Shi Qing in, he quickly handed the swaddling clothes to the nanny beside him and stood up to greet him.

After knowing the prince for so many years, Shi Qing had not met the prince a few times. After all, he and the prince always discussed matters. Occasionally, after a long time, the prince would show up and give them some food.

Now that he saw the two of them getting along, Shi Qing realized that the prince and his wife looked respectful to each other, but in fact they raised eyebrows together, and there was a hint of intimacy in their words and actions.

Shi Qing gave the Crown Princess a gift, then took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"A talisman for the little princess. I wish the little princess peace and happiness and a smooth life."

As a family member of the royal family, the Crown Princess naturally knew Shi Qing's name and also knew how special he was, so she took it very gratefully and personally carried it for her daughter.

The amulet was a red rope bracelet strung with small, waxy white warm jade. The jade was engraved with a protective formation, which was perfect for a child to wear.

Shi Qing also took the opportunity to look at the prince's daughter.

To be honest, the face of the newborn who was just one month old was still a little red. He was not as fat and white as Shi Qing thought. He really couldn’t tell what was good about him~

After having a meal with them, the prince took him to the study.

"What? Is there anything else?"

While drinking the tea poured by the prince himself, Shi Qing showed no courtesy at all.

Because he knew that the prince was not a person who cared about false etiquette.

Murong Jin really didn't care about false etiquette, especially when this person was Shi Qing.

After these years of interaction, he admired this man who was several years younger than him but very wise. In fact, the two of them got along more like a teacher and a friend.

He learned a lot from Shi Qing, especially about people's livelihood issues. He felt that Shi Qing knew much more than his father and any minister.

The success of the newspaper not only allowed the father's decrees to be conveyed accurately, but also publicized the criminal law decrees at Shi Qing's suggestion. The common people understood the law, fewer people committed crimes, and the entire Ningyuan Kingdom became more stable. The Murong family The country will be more stable.

In addition, the emphasis on agriculture and commerce proposed by the Qing Dynasty improved the status of merchants, allowing more people to choose to do business, which not only allowed the circulation of goods from various places, but also provided more profitable positions for people everywhere, and the people lived a better life Even better, the businessmen make money, the country receives more tax money, and the court can help more people live a good life.

According to Shiqing, this is called a virtuous circle!

Murong Jin poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip and said.

"The weather is getting colder. In previous years, the Mobei Kingdom in the north would invade our country's border fortresses every winter, burning, killing, and looting local people.

Although our country has organized troops to resist counterattacks, Mobei is a place where horses are raised on the grassland. Not only are the horses taller and more durable than ours, but the Mobei people are also good at riding.

Our soldiers often can only watch as they evacuate quickly after grabbing things, unable to catch up...

The people on the frontier are miserable. Now that our country's treasury is full, the six major families have also weakened, and the strength of the Ningwu Army has also improved a lot, so my father and I have decided to send troops to Mobei. Even if we can't take Mobei in one fell swoop, They will also have to pay a heavy price!

But after all, sending troops involves thousands of people, so I still want to hear your opinion. "

Shi Qing has been in this world for more than ten years. Although he heard that there are frictions on the border, there has never been a large-scale war. Now that he heard that Murong Jin wanted to use the whole country to fight another country, he was still a little shocked and confused. worried.

Now that he, a common man, was asked to decide the future of thousands of soldiers, he really couldn't make up his mind for a while.

For those who invade their own country, Shi Qing will definitely support them and punish them no matter how far away they are.

But that was a small-scale war after all, not the current cold-weapon wars that are fought with people.

In Shi Qing's heart, he still hopes that there will be as little bloodshed as possible. Regardless of whether he wins or loses in a war, there will be casualties.

Shi Qing did not rush to deny the decision to go to war. If he could not think of other ways, war would be inevitable for the sake of border stability.

Murong Jin saw Shi Qing's slender fingers touching the edge of the teacup again and again, obviously thinking, and he didn't bother him.

Mobei, grassland, nomadic...

Shi Qing thought again and again, and his thoughts gradually broadened and became clearer.

It took him a long time to speak.

"It is really a bad idea to waste people and money on a crusade. Although Ningyuan's national strength has increased now, the financial resources required to launch a war are not a small amount. Moreover, once the war starts, the people will be displaced and the soldiers will bleed and sacrifice. How many families will be lost? My family is broken up, my wife is separated from my family, I really don’t want to see such a scene.”

"But letting those invaders go like this is not only irresponsible to the people of our country, but also connivance to the invaders, allowing them to take advantage of them, so we will definitely continue to fight, but we must cooperate with them!"

Murong Jin listened very carefully, knowing that Shi Qing would have a better idea.

"Economic war! Have you heard of it?"

Murong Jin shook his head quickly like a primary school student.

"Appreciate further details!"

"Over the years, I believe you have learned the importance of developing trade, so you cannot underestimate these businessmen. The business they do can affect a person's life or death, or it can affect the survival of a country."

Murong Jin was skeptical when he heard this. Although he already knew that developing business could help the country earn more treasury, he really didn't understand how doing business could affect the survival of a country?

"Don't you believe it?"

Although he was confused, he motioned for Shi Qing to continue. He wanted to listen carefully, what exactly is economic war?
