Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Oh, can you hear me out?"

Ning Fan said calmly.

When Qin Bao heard what Ning Fan said, a sneer appeared on his face: "What you mean is to attack when winter is coming and the Huns are short of food and livestock!"

"But have you ever thought that this is often when the Huns are at their craziest! They harass the borders and plunder the people frantically. The biggest characteristic of the Huns is that they come and go like the wind, very fast! This is not the case at all. Find a way to defend yourself!"

Qin Bao said excitedly.

Ning Fan listened carefully. After listening, he gave Qin Bao a thumbs up and said: "It seems that you have indeed understood it, and you know it comprehensively!"

"But let me tell you, there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved."

Ning Fan smiled lightly.

"Haha, that's too crazy!"

"Impossible! Unless we destroy the Xiongnu, there is no other way to deal with this matter."

"That's complete nonsense!"

Many people sneered at Ning Fan's words.

Everyone generally felt that Ning Fan was an expert at writing poetry, but in terms of military matters, he was an absolute layman.

Qin Bao, in particular, looked at Ning Fan with eyes full of contempt.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, if things are as simple as you say, then we, Da Kang, won't have to fight for years!"

Qin Bao sneered.

"That's right, there are so many famous ministers and generals, are they not as good as you?"

"Haha, that's too crazy!"

……

There were waves of questioning voices all around.

Ning Fan was not in a hurry anymore. He sat down and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Everyone, we are discussing things, not criticizing. I haven't finished speaking yet. How do you know it won't work?"

"Look at the problem, don't look at it from a fixed perspective."

"Before today, who among you would have believed that I, Ning Fan, could compose poetry? How about now?"

Ning Fan said calmly.

After hearing Ning Fan say this, the surrounding area finally became quiet.

But pairs of questioning eyes showed that no one believed Ning Fan.

"First of all, we must understand that war is just an extension of politics! Only when politics cannot solve things, war will be used!"

"Secondly, there are many levels of war. It is not just about killing the opponent's active forces. Economic war and cultural war are also part of war!"

Ning Fan felt that it was necessary to provide these young masters with some science knowledge.

After all, most of these people will become officials of this court in the future, and their thoughts will affect the happiness of the people of Dakang.

"War is just war. What does it have to do with economy? What does it have to do with culture?"

Many people raised questions, and even Xiao Lingxi looked at Ning Fan with some doubts.

"Don't be impatient, please listen to me slowly."

"Let's talk about the economy first!"

"As we all know, the Xiongnu have the habit of fighting the autumn wind! It is because in autumn and winter, they do not rent food and grass, so it is difficult for them to survive the winter!"

"But have you ever thought that if our Dakang merchants sell grain and cloth, they will not be short of these materials, and will the interference to our border be reduced?"

Ning Fan smiled.

"You're not doing business, you're doing business with the enemy! If the Xiongnu had enough food and grass, their warriors would be more effective!"

Before Ning Fan finished speaking, Qin Bao was the first to stand up and refute.

Ning Fan was not angry and continued: "What you said may be a possibility! But what I want to say is a cultural war! If our Dakang culture spreads to the Xiongnu, and everyone in them will yearn to respect our Dakang, How many of them will participate in the war?"

After hearing what Ning Fan said, everyone fell into deep thought.

Their brows were knitted into knots, and they wanted to refute Ning Fan, but couldn't find a reason.

"Of course, what I'm saying now is just a rough idea!"

"Let me tell you, the means of war must be the power of thunder. You must not fall into a stalemate battle, because this will continue to consume national power!"

"Either we don't move, or if we do, there will be a thunderous thunderstorm that will sweep across all parts of the world!"

Ning Fan clenched his fist and said.

Everyone around him seemed to be infected by Ning Fan's emotions, and everyone fell into excitement.

Xiao Lingxi's eyes turned red with excitement. She was deeply shocked by Ning Fan's words.

"Let me say one more thing. When we do business, we do not invest in enemies, but bring great benefits! We can use things like silk and tea to exchange for some ironware, horses, meat, leather, etc. These things will be stored in the future. Strategic materials. And things like silk and tea will not be used by the Huns against us in the future!"

Ning Fan said again.

Perhaps what Ning Fan said was far beyond the understanding of people of this era, so for a while, the entire ship was silent.

Everyone was immersed in deep shock.

Even the crown prince and the fourth prince remained silent, lost in thought.

Only when there is a country, there is a family. First, the prosperity of the country must continue, so that everyone can continue to live a stable life.

Small frictions and conflicts in daily life do not actually hinder everyone's consistency in major military and national affairs.

……

A cultural gathering has become a nightmare for several people.

The Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, Bai Wenyuan...

These people who should have been the center of attention and enjoyed the popularity of everyone have become uninterested this time.

On the contrary, Ning Fan, who everyone regarded as a bad guy, suddenly became the center of attention and became the absolute c-position!

This literary event can be said to be Ning Fan's personal show!

Not only did Xiao Lingxi's view of Ning Fan change greatly, but also some other people who came into contact with Ning Fan for the first time had doubts in their hearts.

Are those rumors really not deliberately spread by someone?

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, my lady wants you to wait. She still has a few questions she wants to ask for advice!"

The cultural gathering ended, and when everyone left, Ning Fan was left alone by Xiao Lingxi.

Seeing this scene, the men became more and more crestfallen.

Especially the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince almost had their teeth broken.

The two of them looked at each other and both felt that if this old man didn't suppress it, he might become lawless in the future.

……

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, I'll ask Xiaoyu to prepare some wine, and we can go boating in the lake and chat while eating, how about that?"

Xiao Lingxi said with a smile.

"May I?"

Ning Fan was a little flattered.

After all, Xiao Lingxi had just rejected her the day before yesterday. How come that in the blink of an eye, Miss Xiao's attitude towards her had completely changed?

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! If I don't ask you clearly today, I'm afraid Xi'er won't be able to sleep at night!"

Xiao Lingxi said shyly.

"Okay, I won't be pretentious anymore! Let the boatman sail the boat, and let's go over there and have a long chat under the shade of the willow trees!"

Ning Fan said simply.

Before traveling to this world, Ning Fan was a special soldier.

The military career created Ning Fan's straightforward and rough character. I like to sit with my back straight, speak with a loud voice, and do things vigorously and resolutely, and don't like to be coy.

However, Ning Fan's appearance made him even more masculine in Xiao Lingxi's heart.

Born in a general's residence, the men Xiao Lingxi admired were rough-edged men like Ning Fan, not those fair-skinned, effeminate scholars.
