Chapter 247: Plundering the People

He couldn't do anything to them at all.

Now that Fusu mentioned the issue outside the Great Wall, General Chen couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

The environment outside the Great Wall is indeed very complicated, and they have no idea about it at all.

Of course, we have also mastered some roadmaps over the years.

They also learned some information about the migration routes of tribes near the Great Wall.

If a fight really breaks out, General Chen is confident that he can scare those people away.

They may not be able to deal with the tribes far away, but they can still find a way to wipe out the tribes close to the Great Wall in one fell swoop.

What a pity. What a pity.

Your Majesty is old and no longer has such ambitions. He just wants to develop steadily.

This allowed the barbarians to overwhelm them.

Fusu heard what General Chen said.

But I don’t think Ying Zheng is old.

Fusu thought for a moment and said, "Now is not the time to fight. Although the world is peaceful, the people are not well-educated and the treasury is not well-off. War is extremely costly and costly."

"If we are not well prepared, the court will suffer even greater losses if we lose this battle. Your Majesty should make further preparations until the treasury has silver and the population has recovered."

"This war is about to begin. It's only a matter of time. Only then will we be able to deal with those nomadic tribes. For now, we must hold our breath. Your Majesty is responsible for the well-being of the entire world, so we must not act rashly."

Thinking of this, Fusu shook his head.

If everyone is as reckless and impetuous as General Cheng, how can the imperial court continue to function?

It must be nice to have a fight.

No need to endure this kind of bullshit anymore, but after the fighting, how many people lost their sons and husbands.

How many more families have been destroyed?

Fusu knew that the current population could no longer support a large-scale war.

And to eliminate those nomadic peoples, a large number of people would be needed.

That was a war outside the Great Wall, and the nomadic people were more wild than those in the inland areas.

Once the war breaks out, it will probably be a protracted war.

That requires the court and the national treasury to be able to support it.

Fusu could understand Ying Zheng's thoughts.

Although it's hard to hold back this anger.

The border is harassed from time to time, and it is difficult for the people living on the border to have a peaceful time.

Many people's lives have been disrupted, and some border villages are often harassed.

But the stability of the people in the Central Plains should be put first.

This is the base of the Qin Dynasty.

It is not acceptable to engage in excessive military spending, as it can easily lead to collapse. Your Majesty, who controls the world, should not act arbitrarily.

Fusu knew that the court had discussed the issue of how to deal with the nomadic peoples outside the Great Wall many times.

But Ying Zheng suppressed it several times.

In particular, the military generals were clamoring to fight and let the nomadic peoples see the strength of the Qin Dynasty.

The civil servants in the court were opposed because their treasury was really poor.

General Chen naturally knew about the discussion in the court.

There were also several arguments during the grand court meetings.

General Chen sighed deeply and said, "Alas, this is indeed the case. The national treasury is indeed too low on silver, and I don't know when it will be restored. Otherwise, how can we, the great Qin, have any dignity left if we are bullied by a nomadic people?"

"Other small nations around us might become aggressive when they see us being so cowardly. Once our treasury is full, we must frighten them into submission and destroy their nations and clans. Otherwise, we will be sorry for the injustices suffered by the people of our Great Qin."
