The emperor was a little helpless. He had already seen that Chu Qing began to pretend to be her "ignorant village woman".

But it is understandable. In the eyes of the emperor, a person who is so "true" has now become careful to hide his edge, fearing that he will cause trouble. Isn't he scared by those in the court?

The emperor said, "Then tell me, what books can't be sold?"

This can make money from printing again. Well, I have to designate a bookstore to do this, so don’t slip into the money from outsiders.

Also, the emperor wanted to know what useful books were in Chu Qing's eyes.

"Apart from the Nine Classics, all sales are banned!" Chu Qing said.

emperor:"……"

The emperor's first reaction was that the bookstore could not make much money, but he immediately understood what Chu Qing meant: astronomical, current affairs, and military border books cannot be sold.

Technology books will increase the other party's productivity and will make it impossible for the Daxuan to restrict and interfere with its economy;

Astronomical prophecies, techniques, numbers and divination can make speculators plan to usurp the throne;

The current affairs gains and losses are the most important things. On the one hand, we must keep the secrets of national defense, and on the other hand, we must strictly prevent spies and ordinary people from destroying current affairs, shaking public sentiments, and spreading the world.

"It makes sense!" the emperor nodded.

Chu Qing: "I am ignorant, just talk casually!"

The emperor curled his lips: "Well, ignorance! Your ignorance should be used by all the civil and military officials in the court!"

Hu Hengqiu said at this time: "I think that when it comes to the big land, Vos is not worse than my big announcement. If war is inevitable, with my current strength, I will not be afraid of him."

Alas, men are still warlike.

What's more, expanding territory is the great ambition of every king and the goal they pursue throughout their lives. Hu Hengqiu's words can be said to be in line with the emperor's thoughts.

From the perspective of "the king has no outside", the emperor imagined the political significance of going to war with Vos, such as strengthening national defense and ensuring the security of the propaganda; for example, promoting exchanges and exchanges between various ethnic groups and regions, etc.

Hu Hengqiu analyzed the summary of information from various places in the Secret Investigation Department in recent years, such as the conflicts between tribes in the Kingdom of Worth, the appearance of the royal family members, the real number of armies of each garrison of Daxuan, the composition of the troops, etc.

The two were chatting in full swing, and Chu Qing didn't speak, so it had nothing to do with her, so she simply went to meditation.

The breathing of thoughts and breathing naturally comes in and out, the mind and breath depend on each other, and the mind and qi follow each other without interference. This method of following breath seems to be free and casual, but it can enhance immunity with the minimum space and minimum physical energy consumption.

The body is the capital of revolution.

"Chu Qing, what do you think?" The emperor's voice came, and Chu Qing was very resentful: "Ah?"

Chu Qing's "Ah?" made both the emperor and Hu Hengqiu hear that "family affairs, state affairs, the world is all about me."

Hu Hengqiu glared at Chu Qing: Are you so brave? Who are you with? This is the emperor!

"If a person has no long-term plan, he will have immediate worries. War is never something you can't stop if you don't want it." The emperor said, "What do you think?"

What can I think? If you want to fight, just fight! You are the emperor and you have the final say.

I can think so in my heart, but I can't just say it: "Master, what is the purpose of war?"

Don't tell me it's for peace.

"What do you think?" The emperor threw the question back to Chu Qing. He had just talked about the political significance of the war. Chu Qing still asked this, do you disagree?

Chu Qing said: "As the same thing, I am a village woman, and I can't think too far;

However, when I settled in Wukeshu Village, the village chief was kind-hearted and arranged for me to be the chef in the school. At that time, the children would fight for food, so that they would eat more and eat more, and they would not be able to eat if they could not grab it;

I think back now that it is about resources... that is, materials, plundering materials is a nature. Therefore, with my meager insight, I think I have to seek something when going to war with the Kingdom of Vos;

The Kingdom of Vos is a country with a vast land and sparsely populated country. Its products are not rich, but it is developed and utilized poorly. If we attack it, I will first settle the accounts...

Oh, I can’t calculate it. Do you have to ask the Ministry of Revenue, how much was the military expenditure in the year of the war with Donglun?

How much has the impact on the people's livelihood? Is there a fiscal deficit? If so, how much is it? If not, what is the balance?

Let’s compare how much the national treasury has been filled in recent years, and then we can figure out whether it’s a good deal to fight a war?

Also, if we win, what can we get? How many cities or destroy Vos as a whole? Is it necessary to migrate the people at that time and how to rule the occupied land?

Well... If you lose... I am guilty! We can't lose, we won't lose!"

"Slippin! Tell me your real idea!" The emperor looked stern.

Chu Qing felt wronged: "Your Majesty, I only know how to do small business, and I only think about whether it is cost-effective from the perspective of doing business;

I have said before that if you use Vos's products and Vos's manpower to improve your living standards for Daxuan, and the products you've paid can meet their living needs without them developing handicrafts...

It is to make them rely on our big propaganda, which seems to be similar to the effect achieved by defeating the country of Vos?"

Chu Qing added: "It's mainly to save military spending."

In fact, the effects are essentially different. War can change Woth's surname to Daxuan, which is the real expansion of territory. Of course, it may also be the other way around. Chu Qing's method cannot achieve the purpose of expanding territory.

So, it is useless to ask Chu Qing whether to fight or not, and the emperor has the final say.

"But..." Chu Qing said: "No matter whether the war starts or not, the Nine Classics will be sold!"

Emperor: “…why?”

Chu Qing: "To improve their comprehensive quality of the people, whether from population, history or knowledge, our Daxuan should be a great country in the country and have the responsibility to educate all peoples;

Let them know that if they are obedient, they can eat enough and make money;

Let them know that having money requires planning to spend it in the long run;

Let them know that their wives and children are their greatest pursuit in life..."

The emperor understood that Chu Qing was not talking about using Daxuan’s culture to assimilate the other party, but about numbing the other party!

Chu Qing explained in time: "Education, we must go from shallow to deep. I am ignorant, and even if I am deep, I will not understand."

The one who least wants to fight is Chu Qing. It would be fine if she was a civilian landlord. In danger, she would have to spend money to move a house. But she was an official of the Secret Investigation Department and was in charge of Voss's intelligence. If she really fought, she would not be sent to the front line?

It is better to make money in peace.

Putting aside the issue of war, the emperor and Hu Hengqiu still agree with Chu Qing's proposal to "sell books".

As a monarch, the first thing that ruled the world is the hearts of the people. The means can be some kind of thought or some kind of religious culture, etc., or you can do a multi-pronged approach.

When relatively weak, backward cultures are in contact with relatively strong, advanced and perfect cultures, they will naturally be influenced by strong cultures and then assimilated, and books can accelerate this process.

As Chu Qing said, "Let Vos rely on Daxuan from body to heart."
