"This is simply a pirate!"
"I heard that the church also carried out such robbery under the banner of uprightness. Don't they even try to cover it up?"
"Your Majesty, I think it would be better to give them a warning first and then talk!"
There was chaos in the hall, but Emperor Jing did nothing to stop it.
Fang Zhengyi remained silent, observing everyone's reactions.
The civil servants' reaction was relatively positive, advocating a display of national strength and continuing the negotiations.
However, the military officers were obviously excited, and those who usually kept a low profile also had vicious expressions on their faces.
The situation in Dajing is very good now, but the military is still the most confident.
Not to mention the newly replaced cannons and rifles, the mining boom brought about by the railway led to the discovery of many new iron mines in Dajing.
With the addition of new mining auxiliary equipment, the price of steel is slightly lower than the previous market price.
With the help of steam engines to mass-produce armor, the military's strength can be further enhanced!
However, due to limited budget and the fact that a lot of it has been invested in the development and production of warships, mass production has not yet been implemented.
Right now, no one around Dajing dares to fight. If a war breaks out overseas and the budget doubles, these generals will support it with both feet...
Military merit is not as easy to gain as before.
The group of strong young men under his command eat better than before and are in good health, but they have no chance to fight in actual combat.
If this continues, we may have to downsize.
Moreover, we all fought our way through battles when we were young, and now seeing that there is no hope of promotion, we just lie at home and trade stocks, and we have lost a lot of money. Is this appropriate?
The quarrel in the court became more and more intense, to the point where some people began to curse loudly.
Lai Gou'er was extremely embarrassed. He had originally been reminding the court to make preparations early, but now it seemed that his words were getting more and more biased. Everyone wanted to attack directly.
Stop doing business and start robbing?
Fang Zhengyi also pulled a face.
These people are too impatient and are just thinking about going to war.
The speed of making money in war is not faster than business, and doing business overseas now is not much different from robbing money.
Moreover, war will undoubtedly occupy a huge amount of resources and affect industrial development.
As long as the industrial system is thoroughly established, we can do whatever we want in the future, right?
After listening for a while, Fang Zhengyi felt more and more desperate. Why didn't he realize before that these people were even more bandits than him!
The civil servants also started to argue, and the situation gradually got out of control.
The discussion has roughly reached a conclusion.
Now, the war faction believes that they should advance one country at a time, directly reach the Holy City and then capture the Pope.
The moderates believed that the Holy City should be attacked directly and the Pope should be captured alive.
"Okay, stop arguing and listen to what he has to say." Emperor Jing's voice interrupted the noise in the hall.
