Chapter 517 Let’s have a brief debate first!



Zhao Hao looked at Wu Song and said, "Second Brother Wu, let Miss Bluebird follow me into the palace. You go and inform Miss Redleaf."

"Bring her to the first floor and have dinner together tonight."

Wu Song nodded: "Thank you, sir!"

Zhao Hao, along with Qingniao and two guards, got on a carriage and headed for the palace.

Pepper House Palace.

When Zhao Hao arrived, Jiang Wan'er was discussing state affairs with several important ministers including Lu Liuliang.

After hearing Eunuch Qu's report, he couldn't help but smile and said, "While we were talking, this kid came."

"That's great. Let him in."

Eunuch Qu immediately walked out in small steps, and after a moment, he led Zhao Hao in.

As soon as he came in, he saw several ministers there, so he quickly took a few steps and stood beside them to greet Jiang Wan'er.

Jiang Wan'er said softly, "Zhao Hao, I and several ministers are discussing your strategy to pacify the barbarians."

"It's a good thing that you're here. As the author, you might as well explain it in detail in front of the adults."

Zhao Hao was a little confused when he heard this.

Let him speak?

say what?

This is mindless...

Seeing his bewildered expression, Jiang Wan'er continued, "Tell me briefly why you think that you can completely incorporate all the tribes in the south of the desert into my army."

“Where does confidence come from?”

Zhao Hao still didn't understand, and subconsciously said: "Isn't this a very normal thing? Why?"

He was truly confused.

Zhao Wenxiang, who was standing next to him, frowned and said, "His Majesty is asking you the reason. What kind of answer is that?"

Turning his head to look at his father, Zhao Hao was speechless.

"Master Zhao, I still don't understand. What exactly are your questions?"

Zhao Wenxiang said in a deep voice: "Our question is, why do you think your method can be effective?"

Zhao Hao suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is."

The left prime minister, Lu Liuliang, said softly, "Lord Zhao, we have all read your plan to pacify the barbarians."

"The things written in it are indeed a bit too fanciful."

“And it’s also quite complicated.”

"Every one of these is something we have never tried before."

“There’s not even a reference.”

"Therefore, we really have no way of judging whether the methods in your strategy to pacify the barbarians are effective."

"Your Majesty, if you follow the method in the strategy of pacifying the barbarians to manage the grasslands south of the desert, I will have to completely adjust the methods I use towards the grasslands."

"And it will take us a lot of time and resources."

"If it works, it would be a great thing."

"But if not..."

"That is an absolutely unacceptable result for me."

"When we work for the country, the last thing we can accept is being too imaginative. We must always put stability first."

Lu Liuliang's words were full of persuasion and sincerity.

The pros, cons and consequences of the matter were all explained.

Zhao Hao nodded calmly and said, "Left Prime Minister, and the concerns of all the adults are very reasonable, I think."

"The left prime minister said that when it comes to the country, stability should be the priority."

“I quite agree with that.”

"When a country formulates any policy or issues any decree, it must undergo comprehensive and in-depth understanding, extensive and long-term discussion and verification."

“These are all correct and very good.”

“It’s the safest way.”

"However, things that you do not have a deep understanding of and do not have any reference to may not be truly fantastic."

"If you gentlemen have any doubts, you may as well list every item in my strategy for pacifying the barbarians."

"Then verify one by one whether it is feasible."

"I can give you some hints on the angle of verification."

"In order to make the verification results more complete, we can probably do it from several main angles, such as history, culture, personality, economy, military, business, agriculture, income, expenditure, etc."

"After mastering these, I can roughly know whether my strategy of pacifying the barbarians is really feasible."

Hearing what Zhao Hao said, Zuo Xiang and others were a little surprised.

On the other side, King Kang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Zhao Hao, you are too arrogant."

"What culture, history, or character do they have?"

"As for commerce and agriculture, there is even less. Everyone knows that they live by nomadism."

Zhao Hao immediately rolled his eyes, then looked at the Left Prime Minister Lu Liuliang and his father Zhao Wenxiang.

"Left Prime Minister, and the other gentlemen, you are not like King Kang, thinking that the wilderness has no history, no culture, and nothing at all, right?"

"If that's the case, then please forgive me..."

Before he could finish, Zhao Wenxiang glared at him fiercely, and glared back at him the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

No one else saw the conversation between the father and son, but Jiang Wan'er, who was sitting behind the desk, saw it clearly.

Seeing Zhao Hao being humiliated, Jiang Wan'er couldn't help but chuckle.

Jiang Wan'er said calmly: "Zhao Hao, what do you want to say? Don't be afraid, even if you say something wrong, the ministers are all your elders and will not blame you."

When Zhao Hao heard this, he felt a little happy, but still shook his head.

If he says it now, he will only offend people.

The truth is often unpleasant to hear.

Although I'm not afraid, it's better not to offend anyone if possible.

Besides.

It’s okay now, but when I get home later, my dad won’t know what to do with me.

So, forget it.

"Your Majesty, it's actually nothing. The main thing is that I feel that you gentlemen don't seem to have a very deep understanding of the wilderness."

"Especially King Kang, who actually said that barbarians have no history and no culture. This really surprised me."

I can only talk about King Kang.

Among these people, except for his father Zhao Wenxiang, he has the best relationship with Prince Kang.

When King Kang heard this, he immediately exploded: "Hey, you little brat, did I say something wrong?"

"That's a barbaric place, full of nomadic tribes, they don't even have their own writing system. Can you tell me where their culture and history come from?"

"As for commerce and agriculture, where are they?"

"If you can't give me a clear answer, I will never let you go today!"

Zhao Hao was speechless. He asked you to take the blame and what you said was true. Is it necessary to be like this?

However, now that he had come this far, he could only continue.

"Since the pre-Qin period, our Central Plains dynasty and the tribes on the grasslands have coexisted."

"For thousands of years, we have been in a state of hostility."

“Isn’t this wild history?”

"In addition, they are rough, heroic, good at fighting, worship barbarian gods, and have their own unique moral code and laws."

“Isn’t this culture?”

"As for business and agriculture, we can only say that they are very few and very small, but we can't say that they don't exist, right?"
