Chapter 597 Economic Warfare
Today, the diplomatic envoys arrived in Beijing, but Zheng Sisi did not go to watch because she knew that Sheng Zhen would attend the welcome banquet.
Emperor Yongshun brought his three adult sons with him. After all, this dinner could be considered a royal welcome banquet.
Sheng Zhen had a cold face throughout the whole process and returned to the Princess's Mansion immediately after the banquet.
However, the eldest prince and the second prince were much more active than him, and they were chatting enthusiastically with the foreign envoys.
When Zheng Sisi saw Sheng Zhen coming back, she gave her seat at the mahjong table to Rose, and then followed Sheng Zhen into the study.
Lily pulled a chair and sat at the entrance of the hall, staring at the study door from a distance and not letting anyone get close.
Zheng Sisi poured Sheng Zhen a cup of hot tea and asked impatiently, "How was it, did everything go well today?"
Sheng Zhen held up the teacup to warm his hands, his lips curled up slightly, "Not bad, they just arrived in Beijing, so they don't dare to do anything. I have asked Minister Li to arrange for someone to take them to visit various places in Beijing in the next few days."
Zheng Sisi nodded: "That's good. By the way, I heard that Baiyun Temple has also arranged two days. This way, they should have even less time to do anything."
Sheng Zhen looked at Zheng Sisi, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Well, but we still can't take it lightly. These people are well prepared, and we must always be vigilant."
Zheng Sisi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will be careful. It's just..."
She paused and said with some concern, "These foreign envoys don't really want to start a war, do they? If a war really breaks out, what should we do?"
Sheng Zhen comforted him: "Don't worry, judging from the current situation, they just want to test our bottom line."
"As long as we stick to our principles, they won't dare to take action rashly. And if a fight does break out, we're not afraid."
Zheng Sisi nodded, feeling a little relieved. She believed that Sheng Zhen would be able to handle this matter well and protect the safety of the country and the people.
Sheng Zhen said seriously, "The person we need to be most wary of this time is Murong Yu, the crown prince of Yan."
“If he acts in another capacity in the capital, it may not be convenient, so he is likely to act with the reception group.”
Then he added: "Of course, we can't completely rule out the possibility that he will stay alone. Once he comes to visit, we can only make a decision based on the specific circumstances."
Zheng Sisi expressed her understanding and nodded, saying, "Some things are indeed difficult to prevent, but we can respond flexibly and adapt to circumstances."
"It would be best if we could avoid a war."
Sheng Zhen's eyes flashed, and he asked expectantly: "Sisi, do you have any better ideas?"
Zheng Sisi pondered for a moment and replied: "War is always a cruel and helpless choice, especially for the people. Once a war breaks out, they will face the plight of food and clothing shortages and displacement."
"So, can we find a new way to solve the problem without war?"
Sheng Zhen asked curiously: "Then, what kind of path can prevent the war from happening?"
"Economy! Economic war!" Zheng Sisi said firmly: "My hometown was also in the midst of war decades ago. But under the leadership of a great leader, the war finally ended."
She went on to say: “Then, we began to vigorously develop our economy and strengthened our national strength in the process. Today, my country has an important voice on the international stage.”
She added: "At the same time, our country is one of the safest places in the world. There is no war or gunfire, and people live a stable and happy life."
"You have learned so much knowledge and should be able to understand the logic behind it. We can fully learn from these experiences, trade with other countries while strengthening our own strength, so that other countries will not dare to easily wage war against us in the future." Zheng Sisi emphasized.
Sheng Zhen nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.
Zheng Sisi suddenly remembered something and said excitedly: "Sheng Zhen, we have another secret weapon - gunpowder! This is a weapon with great destructive power. No country can withstand its power."
Sheng Zhen was very excited. He smiled and nodded, then looked at Zheng Sisi seriously and said.
"In this case, why don't we go to the palace again and tell the emperor these ideas? Maybe he will listen to our suggestions and change the status quo."
Zheng Sisi shook her head: "Don't be impatient. This matter is not so easy to decide. It requires fierce debate and discussion among the court officials before they can finally decide whether to implement it."
"So now, let's just live our lives peacefully."
"However, we should pay more attention to the movements of the envoys from various countries."
