Chapter 620 Guo Jia's denial, new proposal!

"Your Highness's talent and strategy are admired by this old minister!"

Shen Li looked at Ning Fan with admiration. Once these nine national policies were released, it was equivalent to giving their Zhongshu Province a clear direction for governance. The next focus was to refine these nine national policies!

If so, within three years, Dayu's national strength will be incomparable!

"My lord, these nine policies can be the kingly way and achieve hegemony!"

"However, the struggle for the great world has already begun. For Dayu, we can't wait!"

"If we encounter a prosperous era, we can develop slowly and strengthen the country with national policies. But for Dayu now, the powerful enemies of various countries will not give us time. Therefore, I think it is not applicable!"

Unexpectedly, the first person to deny it was Guo Jia. Ning Fan fell into a brief contemplation after hearing this.

Whether it is the promotion of imperial examinations or strengthening the country, or even any of the nine national policies, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Shen Li also frowned slightly. Zhuge Liang looked at Guo Jia and whispered, "Does Fengxiao have any good ideas?"

"Expansion!"

Jia Xu uttered two words, Ning Fan's eyes condensed, and his mind was instantly enlightened.

Since the way of development is not feasible, the only way to become a strong country is probably to continue to expand outward. To put it better, it is to unify the world. To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than plundering the outside world!

But then again, the reason why Huainan has developed so rapidly is not only because of the officials' hard work, but also because the Nanman has contributed an irreplaceable force!

So, we should thank the Nanman tribes for their strong support and thank the Nanman for their cost-free labor!

"Since Wenhe has spoken like this, I guess he has a strategy in mind?"

Jia Xu did not speak, but looked at Guo Jia who was standing beside him. The latter nodded slightly and said softly: "My lord, two years ago, the time to annex Donghuai was not ripe. Now, the world has changed drastically. If I, Dayu, can annex Donghuai in one fell swoop, with the help of Donghuai's national strength, I, Dayu, can have a chance to breathe in a short period of time!"

"More importantly, the eight barbarians in Mobei have made a comeback. Now the southern barbarians are nourishing Huainan. Why can't we follow the Huainan method and nourish the northern border with Mobei?"

"Plunder!"

"Seize the horses, cattle and sheep of Mobei, plunder their wealth, plunder their population!"

"Use this to feed back to Dayu!"

Shen Li took a deep breath, his eyes full of horror: "Plundering nomadic peoples is something that the Central Plains countries have never dared to think of. If it spreads, will it damage the face of the court?"

"Prime Minister Shen, you are not a pedantic person. How can the barbarians in Mobei treat Dayu?"

"Now, it's just a matter of giving back to them in their own way!"

"Today, if Dayu abides by the so-called etiquette and morality, one day, Dayu's Tens of thousands of people will become slaves and be plundered!"

"I understand!"

Shen Li smiled bitterly and looked at the country and Jia Xu next to him: "It seems that I will have to ask for advice from you gentlemen in the future!"

"Mr. Shen is too polite."

Ning Fan smiled and said nothing. After everyone discussed it, he first looked at the Minister of Revenue Chen Qinghe: "Mr. Chen, now my Dayu needs money from all sides, you have to take care of the money bag for me!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will tighten my belt and tighten it when it is tight and loose when it is loose!"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan smiled and nodded , then looked at the Minister of Works Xie Xingxian beside him: "Sir Xie, the tasks of the Ministry of Works will be particularly important in the next period of time, which is related to the national destiny. The burden on you is quite heavy!"

"Your Highness, now the court is using work instead of relief, which has alleviated many important projects of my Ministry of Works, but there is still a lot of pressure in terms of military equipment!"

"Don't worry about this matter, the king will send a group of capable craftsmen to help you!"

"Yes!"

In the time of a meal, Ning Fan determined the direction of the court's operation for the next period of time. After eating and drinking, everyone left.

"Brother Tongzi, are you awake?"

"Master, I'm here!"

"Tell me, what's the matter with Li Jin's posthumous child?"

"To the master, this system has rewritten Li Jin's personal destiny. After the calculation of this system, the young Li Jing came into the world and implanted his identity as Li Jin's early posthumous child!"

"The young Li Jing will recognize Li Jing in the near future and continue the bloodline of the Li family!"

Hearing the explanation of the system, Ning Fan deducted a capital six. He didn't expect that the system could still do such a trick!

"System, will the Chinese heroes I summoned fall?"

"Yes!"

"If they fall, what will happen to their fate?"

"System error, system error..."

"..."

Ning Fan was completely speechless. Since Brother Tongzi upgraded, it has really degraded more and more. Not only has the original function been messed up, but now even he crashes at any time.

Who can stand this?

"Uncle Lin!"

"By the way, Uncle Lin is not here."

Ning Fan smiled bitterly and said softly: "Huaiyuan, prepare a generous gift. I will visit the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion."

"Yes!"

...

Dayu East Territory.

Yue Fei led his army in pursuit, and Tie Xuanzhen led his army to flee eastward and directly entered the border of Donghuai.

General's tent.

"General, now that the Mobei cavalry is advancing eastward, should our army withdraw?"

"No!"

Yue Fei shook his head, a look of concentration appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Tie Xuanzhen is as cunning as a fox, and he may lead the army back. Besides, Donghuai is weak. If Tie Xuanzhen really attacks the capital of Donghuai."

"We can't just sit there and do nothing."

"Marshal, then we should just march eastward, enter Donghuai, and destroy Tie Xuanzhen!"

"No!"

Yue Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, his eyes also showing a hint of contemplation. So far, there has been no news from the capital, and he doesn't know what the court's attitude is.

"Coo!"

A spirit pigeon flapped its wings and circled outside the tent. Not long after, a figure walked in quickly.

"Marshal, there is a report from the capital!"

"Oh?"

Yue Fei's face showed a trace of concentration. After opening the secret report, his expression was also a bit confused.

"Marshal, what instructions does the court have?"

"Let us stay put, and we can recruit troops and expand our forces!"

"Hmm?"

Not only was Yue Fei's face full of doubts, but even the generals next to him looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What is the imperial court up to?"

"If you are worried about Mobei, let us pursue the victory. If you don't want us to fight, let us return to the imperial court!"

"What does it mean to keep the troops in place?"
