The next day, when the sky was just getting dark, Fusu was woken up.

After washing up, he jumped on his horse and headed to the palace to prepare for court.

This made Fusu feel that it was not easy to become the prince.

Of course, what is even more tiring is the emperor Ying Zheng.

Fusu clearly remembered that what Ying Zheng drank yesterday was no less than what he drank.

At Ying Zheng's age, Fusu had to admire Fusu for still insisting on getting up early to go to court even after being hungover.

Above the court, when they saw Fusu coming in, the eyes of all the civil and military ministers were instantly attracted.

"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Your Highness please!"

"I have a few questions that I would like to ask His Highness. I wonder when it will be convenient for Your Highness?"

The courtiers looked extremely respectful, which was completely different from what Fusu remembered. Fusu had to realize how fickle the people in the court were.

Fusu responded with a smile and came to his seat..As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, Fusu's position was before the civil and military officials, just below and to the right of Yingzheng. This fully demonstrated Fusu's unique status as the crown prince.

Soon, Yingzheng arrived, and the court meeting officially began.

Daily issues After that, the civil and military officials soon began to argue over a topic.

That was how to deal with the prairie areas such as the Hetao that were newly incorporated into the Qin Dynasty from Fusu.

Opening up territory and expanding territory is certainly a great event, but it is necessary to manage a new area well. Incorporating the land is not an easy task.

Especially in this area, there were no traces of the activities of the Old Qin people. Even if Fusu forcibly moved all the Xiongnu tribes away and wanted to move a large number of Qin people there, It is also very difficult.

The prairie is suitable for nomadic herding, but not for farming. It is not so easy for the people of Qin who mainly focus on farming to move there.

Moreover, the prairie is flat and almost unsafe, so it requires garrisoning. How many troops, how to defend, and how to ensure logistics are also big issues.

"Fusu, what do you think?"

After not receiving a satisfactory reply for a long time, Ying Zheng looked directly at Fusu, who had been silent.

The eyes of all the civil and military officials also focused on him.

"Father, I think the ministers’ ideas are too conservative."

"The prairie is not suitable for defense, but it is very suitable for offense!"

"Since we can't defend, why not use attack instead of defense, defeat the Da Yueshi and Donghu people, or even annex them directly like the Huns? Then we no longer have to worry about the Hetao area being threatened?

Fusu said with a smile:"With such a rich pasture, it would be a waste not to form a powerful cavalry.""

"To solve the problem of lack of manpower, Daqin’s current horse farms and the surrounding people who are familiar with horse breeding can be relocated there. As long as sufficient rewards are given, I believe he will���Will be very happy"

"For Da Qin, this move will not only allow Da Qin to obtain more and better war horses, but also eliminate the need to worry about the subsequent training of cavalry personnel."

"Moreover, in addition to war horses, nomads also produce cattle, sheep and other outputs, which are enough to offset the logistics consumption of the garrison, and there is even a surplus."

"The issue of defense is also very easy to deal with. As long as we firmly control the Hetao Plain and maintain the offensive against Da Yueshi and Donghu, we can form a buffer area of thousands of miles."

"In this case, the construction of the Great Wall does not actually make much sense. We only need to set up fortresses at some important places on the prairie to provide timely warning and hinder the speed of southward movement."

"In short, Erchen's opinion is actually very simple. Defense has no future, and offense is the way to go!"

Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

As an emperor, the greatest achievements are nothing more than two.

The first is the stability of the internal affairs and the people living and working in peace and contentment.

The second is to expand the territory and lay down more land and obtain more resources for future generations..

Ordinary kings may choose the second path.

As the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, as domineering as Ying Zheng, he naturally chose to have them all.

Especially after experiencing the destruction of the Huns, the whole country was extremely excited, and the people's morale was high.

Military generals do not need it even more. Enough to say.

The Qin Dynasty was founded on the military merit system. Attack means military merit, status, and everything.

As a military general, what you fear most is not death on the battlefield, but not being able to fight in a hearty battle until you die. His talents could not be put to use at all, and he eventually died at home.

Of course, not everyone agreed with Fusu's point of view.

The representative of the Confucian sect, Zhang Cang, the censor who once studied with Xunzi together with Li Si and Han Fei, jumped out and refuted loudly road:

"Your Highness, Grand Duke Wang has a message: Although the country is large, if it is warlike, it will perish!"

"Nowadays, our country, the Qin Dynasty, has suffered from natural disasters for many years, the treasury is empty, the people are longing for peace, and they are resorting to militarism. This is not the way of the sages!"

"Yes, fighting is not a simple matter. Regardless of victory or defeat, it will cost a lot!"

"It's okay if you win, but if you lose, the great situation will be in vain!"

"In my opinion, it is okay not to build the Great Wall for the time being. This is not a good policy to continue to put pressure on Dayuezhi and Donghu people. Making friends and showing friendship is the best policy!"

With Zhang Song as the beginning, many civil servants jumped out one after another, and the momentum was very huge for a while.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but have a hint of hesitation on his face.

Although in his heart, he still recognized Fusu more However, what the civil servants said was true.

After the twists and turns of pacifying Baiyue, Great Qin's many years of savings had been almost exhausted. Coupled with the continuous natural disasters, the vitality was really severely damaged.

Hundreds of thousands of people were easily lost. It is really not easy to make up your mind in a big battle of this level.

Ying Zheng once again looked at Fusu.

This son was already impeccable in terms of military strategy, but this civil administration, especially the handling of government affairs, was not. Do you know how intense it is?

This is a real court meeting, after a battle on the battlefield.���It's different, but it's another battlefield that a qualified prince must be familiar with.

What is needed is not to make a prompt decision and kill decisively, but to weigh the pros and cons and choose the most suitable plan.

Ying Zheng hopes Fu Su can understand this.

Looking at Ying Zheng's expectant eyes, Fusu stood up again.

It seems that this time, I need to teach Ying Zheng and Da Qin officials a good lesson and correct their wrong views.

After looking around for a moment, Fusu finally spoke amid the different looks from the civil and military ministers.

"Father, can someone bring a frame in? I have a scroll that I need to show to my father and the courtiers."

A look of surprise suddenly came from the court.

What play was the newly-appointed Crown Prince singing?

They had attended the court for many years and had never seen such a strange request.

Even Ying Zheng couldn't help but He was surprised for a moment, and then motioned to Zhang Han, who was also confused.

Although he didn't know why Fusu made such a request, deep down in his heart, Ying Zheng had inexplicable confidence in Fusu.

And in Ying Zheng's view, As long as Fusu can understand a little more about the ways of the court and learn a little more, it doesn't matter if he makes a few more demands.

But he doesn't know that this time, the person being taught the lesson is himself...................................................................................................................................
