Chapter 485: Isn’t this a bit too cruel?

After Chu Fan finished speaking, Chu Zhenglin, Liu Ruyan and other women all thought in their hearts: How much does His Majesty hate Japan, to come up with such a cruel plan to deal with them.

Chu Zhenglin said, "Your Majesty, this plan is a bit too cruel. If we really spread this glass waste across all of Japan's territory, then no one in Japan would be able to survive in the future."

Chu Fan said, "Are you questioning my decision? Do you think what I did is too cruel?"

Chu Zhenglin quickly replied, "I have absolutely no such intention. I was just thinking that after the people of Wa died, Wei would lose a lot of labor after occupying Wa.

After all, our Wei Kingdom only dropped some things on the Wa Kingdom, so how could we be the murderer who harmed the Wa Kingdom? Our Wei Kingdom has always been helping the people of the Wa Kingdom resist the invaders, otherwise the Wa Kingdom would have been divided up by other countries on the Shengwu Continent long ago.

In addition, people from other countries killed Japanese people in order to compete for these "glasses". That was entirely caused by their greed and had nothing to do with our Wei State.

When the people of Wa are few and far between, we, the Wei Kingdom, can openly send troops to Wa under the pretext of avenging the people of Wa and completely occupy the island. In this way, we, the Wei Kingdom, can not only obtain all of Wa's territory, but also leave a good reputation as a benevolent and righteous army on the Shengwu Continent.

Moreover, the forces of other countries on the territory of Japan will not only compete for these "glasses" from the hands of the Japanese people, but may also compete for each other's "glasses". At that time, the forces of these countries will consume each other, and it will be smoother for Wei to send troops to conquer the world in the future.

By the time those countries fight to the end, they will definitely suffer some damage, and when Wei State and the warriors and soldiers of these countries fight, they will be able to reduce some casualties."

Chu Fan said, "It's good to know. When doing this, you must do it cleanly and neatly. Don't leave any traces for the people of Japan or other countries to know that it was us from Wei who did it. You just need to act according to my will. I will take care of the rest."

Chu Zhenglin couldn't help but sigh that the elders had great vision. Chu Fan was indeed more suitable to be the emperor of Wei than himself. Chu Fan was very kind to the people of Wei, but he was cruel and ruthless when planning to deal with Japan. These were things he could not do.

Chu Zhenglin replied, "I know what to do. Your Majesty, rest assured that I will handle this matter flawlessly."

Chu Fan opened his mouth and ordered again: "You should prepare now. Remember, the sooner the better. It will only be a few months before our Wei army sets out. During this time, we must make all the countries on the Shengwu Continent hostile to each other and plunge the Shengwu Continent into chaos.

Also, remember to have the Royal Daily publish an article stating that I deeply feel that Heaven has brought too many disasters upon Wei over the past two years. I urge the royal family, court officials, and all the people of Wei to refrain from frivolous purchases, especially those involving flashy items like glass.

Chu Zhenglin asked quietly, "Should we educate the people of Wei about the true value of 'Liu Li'? Otherwise, some of the aristocratic families and wealthy merchants in Wei are likely to be deceived by it and buy and hoard it. When the royal family sells the finished glass products, the 'Liu Li' in their hands will be worthless."

When their interests are damaged, they will focus all their resentment on the royal family and the court, which may affect Your Majesty's reputation and plans. Therefore, I still believe that it is very necessary to educate the people of Wei about the true value of "Liuli".

Chu Fan said nonchalantly, "If the people believe in the royal family and the court, then after reading the contents of the Royal Daily, they will follow my policy and not buy these defective 'glasses'.

Those who still choose to buy after seeing the message sent by the Royal Daily must be those who do not fully trust the royal family and the court. It is best to let such people learn a lesson. Only after their interests are truly undermined will they truly understand that the royal family and the court are truly worthy of their trust.

Chu Zhenglin also understood Chu Fan's deeper meaning. In fact, this was also a test of the loyalty of the people of Wei. Screening out those who did not trust the court would also be very beneficial to the future stability and development of Wei.

Chu Zhenglin said, "If Your Majesty has no need, I will go down and make the arrangements right away."

Chu Fan said, "Ask your father-in-law to cooperate with your work. There are many times when tasks that can only be completed by warriors can be completed by the eunuchs in the palace."

Chu Zhenglin bowed and said, "I obey your command."

After saying this, Chu Zhenglin took Eunuch Li away from the steelmaking workshop where Chu Fan was and began to make preparations.

While Chu Fan and Chu Zhenglin were negotiating, he walked aside to leave enough space for them to discuss.

Changsun Pingting asked Liu Ruyan, "Sister Ruyan, His Majesty has always been a gentle and wise monarch. Why did they just say that His Majesty was so cruel during their discussion?"

Liu Ruyan said, "Because what Your Majesty ordered the Wei warriors to do next was truly too cruel. If we hadn't witnessed Your Majesty using sand and other materials to burn glass, we would have thought that these glass residues were the so-called colored glaze.

When the Japanese people and the warriors and soldiers of other countries stationed on Japanese territory saw these glass fragments, they would believe that they were the extremely precious glass. At that time, in order to compete for these "glasses", the Japanese people and warriors of other countries would further persecute the Japanese people and force them to hand over the "glasses" they had obtained.

However, the people of Japan, already embroiled in war, finally secured a piece of "glass" only to be coveted by the greedy eyes of foreigners. Some might even resist the invaders. A bloody conflict would ensue, further damaging their already fragile hearts and lives.

You must know that Your Majesty is saying that if the glass waste is spread throughout the territory of Japan, no one in Japan will be spared, and all will die because of it."

After hearing this, Changsun Pingting felt that Chu Fan's actions were indeed a bit too cruel, but Changsun Pingting still firmly believed that Brother Chu Fan was a good person, and the reason why Brother Chu Fan did this was also for the future of Wei State.

Changsun Pingting asked, "But Sister Ruyan, if all the people of Wa died, wouldn't Wa be completely deserted? Why would Wei occupy Wa's territory?"
