Lin Yu's actions in the Jin Kingdom had already captured the heart of Princess Jin Zhixian.
As long as Lin Yu stays, he will naturally become the son-in-law of the Jin Kingdom, and as a king of equal rank, the Jin Kingdom will inevitably be under his control in the future.
However, as a married man, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't agree!
Moreover, this involves national issues, making it even more serious!
"I am a citizen of Great Xia, and I will die as a member of Great Xia. I can only appreciate the King's good intentions!"
Lin Yu replied in this way.
Are you really not going to reconsider?
Jin Zaishen was somewhat unwilling and said, "As long as you agree, Jin State can immediately become one with Fengfu. I know your father, Marshal Lin's, ambition. At that time, our Jin State can become your Lin family's backyard!"
Clearly, Kim Jae-shin had done his homework before extending the invitation to Lin Yu.
He knew that the world order would change sooner or later, and that the Jin Dynasty was weak and needed something to rely on.
He believed that Fengfu was the best support for the Jin Dynasty!
But Lin Yu clearly disagreed. He said, "Your Majesty, your idea is dangerous! Fengfu is an inseparable part of Great Xia, and my father has never had any ambitions! You are playing with fire by talking to me like this!"
"Mr. Lin, please don't misunderstand, that's not what my dad meant!" Jin Zhixian quickly tried to explain when she saw Lin Yu was angry.
Jin Zaishen waved his hand to stop her, "Daughter, you don't need to explain. I'm just stating the facts and speaking out for the Feng family!"
Jin Zaishin stared into Lin Yu's eyes and said, "I have a very thorough understanding of the history and development of the Great Xia Dynasty. In its early days, the Fengfu made great sacrifices to support the Nine Provinces! It continuously donated its own blood!"
"Qing City's oil, He City's coal, Shi City's magnesium mines, Ha Prefecture's airplanes, and the Protectorate General's automobiles, high-speed rail, railcars, medical care, education, and military industry—aren't they all at the forefront of the world? If we closed ourselves off and did everything ourselves, we'd be richer than Katar!"
"But look at what's happened now! Heavy industry has turned into agriculture! On the contrary, those who made their fortunes through light industry have risen to the top, swaggering around and looking down on others!"
"What a waste!" Kim Jaeshin kept shaking his head and sighing.
"Young Marshal Lin, why don't you take my advice? Let's do it ourselves behind closed doors. I can definitely lend you a hand! Even if I can't make you unify the world, I can still make you a carefree king!" Jin Zaishen said again in a sincere tone.
It's like an old eunuch inviting a new emperor to ascend the throne.
Lin Yu scoffed, "King Jin, for the sake of the princess, I'll pretend I didn't hear those words. But if you continue, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"You!" Jin Zaishen blushed, and for a moment, he didn't dare to say anything more, because he knew that Lin Yu was serious.
Lin Yu turned around, looked at his hometown of Fengfu, and said calmly.
"Our Feng Prefecture has never lagged behind; we've simply been at the forefront. The future of the Great Xia Nine Provinces will all follow the same path as Feng Prefecture!"
"Besides, only the person on the road knows whether it's comfortable or not. Although Fengfu's economic figures are not high, the standard of living is not bad at all, and even better than in developed areas. The people there live more easily and happily!"
"We have abundant resources, are self-sufficient, and have no shortage of food and clothing. It's not as bad as you say! We live our own lives! We have never felt inferior!" Lin Yu said calmly.
Having grown up in this land, only Lin Yu knows the true lives of the people of Fengfu.
While it may not be the best, it is certainly better than the worst. After all, it was the first region to complete urbanization, and it is far happier than most other regions, despite their superficial prosperity.
"Furthermore, all the resources of Fengfu do not belong solely to Fengfu, but to the nation! Without the nation, where is the home? How could you possibly understand the strategy of national and familial unity? We, the kind-hearted people of Fengfu, work hard without complaint. Even if some people misunderstand us or even look down on us, we will still do our best and love this land!"
"Like the eldest brother in a family, we are willing to be your servant and suffer injustice, but we do it all for the sake of our family! For the sake of our nation and the world!"
Lin Yu said proudly, "I know there are many people stirring up trouble online right now, and many hostile forces trying to undermine us from within! But we, the people of Great Xia, will not fall for it if we have any brains!"
"They have undermined the unity of the people of Great Xia!!" "Because of our unity, we have the wonderful life we enjoy today!! The achievements of Great Xia are evident to all! Great Xia stands tall in the East, becoming the great dragon it is today, all thanks to this spirit of unity! We, the people of Kyushu, are all one family, one big family! Any attempt to sow discord is useless! Mr. Jin, the same goes for you! I hope you will never have any improper thoughts!"
These words made Jin Zaishen blush with embarrassment, and he also fully witnessed the strategic vision of the young marshal of Fengfu!
It seems that his idea was indeed wishful thinking and an unrealistic expectation.
Lin Yu, unwilling to continue the argument, nodded to Kim Ji-hyun and led his men home.
"Sigh, what a pity!" Kim Jae-shin couldn't help but sigh.
Kim Ji-hyun shook her head. "Dad, I've told you before, but you just don't believe me. He won't agree to your proposal!"
Kim Jaeshin said speechlessly, "Your ideal man ran away, don't you feel any regret?"
Kim Ji-hyun shook her head and said, "A person who doesn't love his country doesn't deserve respect! If he really agrees to your proposal, I'll be truly disappointed!"
Kim Jaeshin said irritably, "My Kim country is weak. Aren't I just trying to find a support for your future and the future of the Kim country?"
Jin Zhixian shook his head again, "Dad, you've never understood that a sense of security always comes from within! You should have seen the spirit of the Great Xia Dynasty in Mr. Lin! Self-reliance and the responsibility of a great power! If our Jin Kingdom had this spirit, no matter the storms, the calamities of war, as long as one Jin person survives, our Jin Kingdom can make a comeback and rise again!"
Kim Jaeshin looked surprised, then shook his head and sighed, "Maybe! Dad's getting old!"
"You're young, so you're open to new things!"
"By the way, there's an opportunity to visit and cultivate relationships with Daxia recently. I wonder if you'd be willing to go?" Kim Jaeshin's lips curled up slightly.
"Really?" Kim Ji-hyun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Then won't I be able to see Mr. Lin more often?"
Kim Jaeshin grinned mischievously, "See? You've revealed your true feelings, haven't you?"
"Dad..." Kim Ji-hyun couldn't help but whine.
Kim Jaeshin couldn't help but shake his head. "Alright, alright! I won't tease you anymore! If you really like him, of course Dad will help you! Even if he can't come to Kim Country in the future, Dad hopes you can find a good husband!"
“I got to this position in my early twenties, and my whole life has been bound by this so-called mission! But I hope you, my daughter, can try a different life. Dad just wants you to be happy forever!” Kim Jaeshin said with a loving and doting expression.
Kim Ji-hyun's eyes instantly reddened. "I know, Dad! I will!"
She clenched her fist and looked out at the vast black earth, her heart filled with anticipation!
