Chapter 312: Discussion between Chu Yuanwu and the Elders

As for why Chu Fan had established such strict ancestral precepts, it was because once the printing press was set up, it would print a fixed amount of banknotes every month according to the established program. In such a world, no one except himself would know how to operate a computer. If it were only the people of this world, it would be almost impossible for them to master computer operation technology.

However, since he could travel to this world, it was possible that someone from Blue Star would travel to this world in the future. If this traveler happened to be a member of the Wei royal family and learned about the existence of a money printing press, he might use it to mass-produce paper money and thus disrupt the financial order of the Wei Kingdom.

Therefore, another profound meaning of the ancestral precepts is that even if someone knows the secret of the printing press in the future, they will not be able to use it easily because of this regulation, thus effectively protecting the stability and security of the country.

Third Uncle immediately stood up and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We will obey the decree and strictly abide by our ancestors' teachings."

Other elders of the clan also stood up and expressed their opinions, saying that they would strictly follow the ancestral teachings and would never allow future emperors to use paper money to make money in troubled times.

Although they were all Chu Fan's elders, Chu Fan was the emperor of Wei, and they had to give him enough respect and support. After all, every decision Chu Fan made was related to the future prosperity and decline of Wei. They knew that only by strictly abiding by the ancestral precepts could they ensure the long-term stability of the country.

Chu Yuanwu looked at Chu Fan, who was already very tired. He stood up and said to the elders present:

"Everyone, let's go back first. His Majesty has just discussed many things with me in detail. When I return to the clan, I will explain the whole incident and His Majesty's plans in detail. Now, please do not linger here any longer, so as not to disturb His Majesty's rest."

Although the elders still had some doubts and concerns in their hearts, after seeing Chu Yuanwu's resolute attitude, they had no choice but to obey his instructions and return to the clan to await Chu Yuanwu's explanation. After all, what His Majesty did tonight was like arranging his will after his death, which inevitably made the elders feel uneasy.

However, they knew very well that Chu Yuanwu had always acted cautiously. If even he allowed everyone to go back without worry, then it was certain that there should be no serious problems regarding the situation on His Majesty's side, or it had been properly handled.

After all the elders returned to the royal residence, Chu Yuanwu faced all the elders in the conference room and explained in detail the plans and tasks that Chu Fan was about to carry out.

After listening to Chu Yuanwu's explanation, the elders generally agreed that there wasn't much of a problem with Chu Fan's plan. They even felt that His Majesty's concerns about the matter seemed a bit unfounded.

After all, if a war against the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom were to be launched, the royal family and many forces within the Wei Kingdom would all participate and face the war together.

There are also sectarian forces among the Xiongnu and Gan Kingdom. If you want to completely occupy the Xiongnu and Gan Kingdom, you need to mobilize forces from all sides and unite the sectarian forces to fight together.

At that time, the wars between mortals will be left to ordinary soldiers and generals, while the imperial court and the Wei clan forces will need to deal with the warriors in the Xiongnu and Gan countries. After all, if the enemy warriors cannot be completely eliminated, it will be difficult to maintain long-term stability even if the enemy's territory is occupied.

Only by completely eliminating the threat of force from the enemy can we ensure that the newly occupied territories are firmly in our own hands and achieve lasting peace and stability.

In this case, even if Chu Fan personally went to the front line of the battlefield, his life would not be in any danger, because the royal court of Wei State is now strong enough, and they are fully capable of protecting Chu Fan's safety in the entire Shengwu Continent.

On the other hand, Chu Fan's decision to attack the Xiongnu and Gan State excited some of the younger elders. This was because when the Xiongnu and Gan State invaded, the imperial court and the Wei clans had been in a stalemate with the Xiongnu and Gan State clans, waiting to see the outcome of the battle between ordinary people.

Although there were casualties in the later confrontations between the two sides, at the beginning of the war, both the ordinary troops of Wei and the sects suffered heavy casualties. This was also a blood debt that Wei needed to recover.

The Wei royal family and all the court officials had never imagined that the Xiongnu would directly invade Wei. After all, Wei had stood on the Shengwu Continent for nearly a thousand years. This sudden attack by the Xiongnu caught everyone in Wei off guard.

To make matters worse, news of the previous emperor's death in an ambush by the Xiongnu on the border reached Wei, creating a power vacuum and a severe blow to morale. The state was plunged into an unprecedented crisis.

With such a tragic past, Your Majesty's decision to send troops to the Xiongnu and the Gan Kingdom is not only an opportunity to wash away the humiliation of the past, but also a moment to demonstrate the strength of the State of Wei. Under Your Majesty's wise leadership, the State of Wei has become strong and powerful enough to avenge the past and restore the glory of the country.

An elder said with emotion: "We really did not choose the wrong emperor. Your Majesty always puts the interests of Wei State at the most important position in your heart, and is always thinking about how to make the country stronger and more prosperous.

Furthermore, His Majesty's decision to send troops to the Xiongnu and Gan states to avenge past humiliation was not a rash act, but rather a thorough preparation for the worst, considering all possible risks. This is in stark contrast to his two predecessors, who often focused solely on personal freedom and pleasure, while neglecting the safety and long-term development of the country.

Chu Yuanwu also sighed and said: "Yes, Chu Fan was the child we least expected before, but he is the most qualified emperor among the recent emperors. Even during this expedition to the Xiongnu and the Qian Kingdom, His Majesty arranged the lives of all soldiers and civilians in an orderly manner after the war;

He even considered carefully whether his death would cause domestic unrest. This makes one sigh that Chu Fan is truly a good emperor who cares about the Wei Kingdom wholeheartedly! "

The royal family of Wei State was not greedy for power, but they still had feelings for Wei State. After all, it was their homeland that they had protected for generations. Of course, if they encountered a crisis that they could not solve, they would withdraw without hesitation.
