After an in-depth discussion with Chu Fan, Chu Anping now knew his position in the court, and he would no longer be easily seduced by power. Chu Fan was also very confident in letting Chu Anping continue to handle the government affairs of Wei.
Chu Anping returned to the Royal Government Affairs Office with the task assigned by Chu Fan and began to work on the construction of textile machines and textile factories. He also had to find suitable merchants to go to the Xiongnu territory to purchase large quantities of mutton and wool. Next, the Royal Government Affairs Office and the six ministries would be busy.
After Chu Fan and Chu Anping talked with Liu Ruyan and other women in the palace, Chu Fan told them the general situation.
Chu Fan asked, "Do you think I am a cruel monarch who wants to completely wipe out the Xiongnu from the Shengwu Continent?"
Liu Ruyan and others were still calculating how much profit their family could gain from Wei's purchase of Huns' mutton and wool, but at this moment they heard Chu Fan ask such an incredible question.
Liu Ruyan said, "Your Majesty, there's nothing wrong with what you're doing. As a king, shouldn't you consider your own soldiers and civilians? This isn't harming your own people, so how can it be so cruel?"
Although I am the daughter of Emperor Canglan, I also know that in the past few hundred years, the Xiongnu have never stopped invading Wei. Your Majesty, you have adopted this strategy only to protect Wei from the Xiongnu invasion.
This is a good thing for the State of Wei, benefiting both the nation and its people. Although it is inconvenient for us women to participate in government affairs, we understand your Majesty's efforts, and you do not need to feel guilty about this."
In reality, Chu Fan's worries were completely unnecessary. The women around him were all from powerful families. They valued Chu Fan's ability and status above all else, and their decisions were based more on the interests of their families and the State of Wei, rather than purely on moral grounds.
For them, profit is the most important thing. As for the moral controversy, they are not like some women who think that doing so is immoral and too cruel. They only know that as long as what Chu Fan does is beneficial to Wei and to them, they will fully support him.
Liu Ruyan continued, "Your Majesty, your strategy not only solves the livelihood issues of Wei, but also allows Wei's soldiers and civilians to gain an advantage in the upcoming war. What's so cruel about such a strategy?
Compared with letting Wei's soldiers and civilians bleed and sacrifice on the battlefield, such a strategy can avoid more bloodshed and sacrifice for Wei, and it is also a kindness to Wei's soldiers and civilians.
So, Your Majesty, you don't need to feel any burden about this. Although it's not convenient for us women to participate in government affairs, we will do our best to support your decision."
Chu Fan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Liu Ruyan's words. He knew that the women around him were not ordinary people. They could understand and support his decision.
Mu Xi also spoke up, "Your Majesty, I thank you on behalf of the generals and soldiers at the border. Thank you for always considering the soldiers of Wei. It is a blessing for the people and soldiers of Wei to have such a wise ruler as Your Majesty."
Because the Mu family has been a military family for generations, countless men have died on the battlefield. And now Mu Yundian is the Minister of War of Wei State, and Mu Yunfeng is the general of Wei State. Not to mention that other members of the Mu family serve in the Wei army. It can be said that the entire Mu family is tied to the Wei army.
Mu Xi's father, Mu Yunfeng, is still stationed at the border. Every battle brings casualties, and every time the drums of war sound, it is heartbreaking. But Your Majesty, your strategy can reduce unnecessary sacrifices and, in the long run, protect the future of Wei.
Our Mu family will fully support your majesty's decision. Our men are willing to sacrifice their lives for the State of Wei, but if we can use wisdom and strategy to reduce bloodshed, that would be the greatest mercy."
After hearing Mu Xi's words, Chu Fan completely let go of the guilt in his heart, because if he did not adopt a strategy to weaken the strength of the Huns, Wei would face more severe challenges and higher sacrifices if it sent troops to fight the Huns in a few months.
Although Chu Fan wanted to complete the system mission and return to Blue Star, he also didn't want to see the Wei soldiers die in vain. Therefore, he had to think of various ways to make sure that when he left this world and returned to Blue Star, there would be no major changes in Wei State.
You have to know that once a war is launched, it will not be easy to control. What Chu Fan needs to do is to ensure that even after he is no longer in Wei, as long as Wei can maintain the policies he has formulated, both the war and the economy can remain stable, and Wei will not experience too much turmoil.
In fact, when Chu Fan had these thoughts, he began to think of himself more and more as a true monarch of Wei. Although he still missed Lan Xing a little, he had been the emperor of Wei in this world for more than a year.
Even though he spent most of his time playing with Mu Xi and others in the palace during this year or so, he had to admit one thing, that is, whether it was Liu Xueyu, Qiu Ya, or Mu Xi and other women who had a relationship with him, they were all people of this world.
They all have their own relatives and friends in this world. If I ignore Wei State in order to complete the mission, then after I take them away from this world and return to Blue Star, they will not be able to see their relatives and friends. So where will they go at that time?
If he couldn't take responsibility for their future, even if he returned to Blue Star, he would still have irreparable regrets. Furthermore, if he didn't arrange all the strategies and layouts properly, Mu Xi and the other women wouldn't be willing to follow him.
Because the relatives and friends in Wei State also occupy an important position in their hearts. Therefore, Chu Fan must make good arrangements for the future of Wei State before leaving this world and ensure that Wei State can develop steadily. Only in this way can he take them away from this world to Blue Star with peace of mind.
Chu Fan thought that if there was a transmission channel that could freely connect the two worlds, it would be even more perfect. At that time, he would not have so many worries. He could be the emperor in this world and be a free farmer on Blue Star. At that time, the identity issues of Mu Xi and others returning to Blue Star would also be properly resolved.
