Qi Xiaotong's words made Qi Yu understand a strange thing that he had not understood before.
According to the information reported by the spies, Tianzhu's preparation for war and the increase of troops were to snatch an uncertain agricultural and sideline product.
Qi Yu had never been able to figure this out, but when he arrived, it suddenly dawned on him.
Isn't this aphrodisiac a kind of agricultural and sideline product?
In other words, they came to snatch the poppies!
The reason why he was not in a hurry to seek a war was probably because King Charles had taken back some of his past gifts from other heads of state. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to survive this challenge.
Qi Dalang is 100% sure about this.
well……
Duan Zicheng, Duan Zicheng, how could you cause such a big mess?
Based on the profound lessons from later generations, Qi Yu has been strictly controlling this substance. Except for medicinal purposes, it will never be allowed to be circulated at all.
But he didn't expect that his strict defense would eventually lead to a loophole.
Compared with the Afurong War in the previous life, this life is significantly different.
In the former, people are forcing us to buy; in the latter, people are begging us to sell.
Although the triggers are the same thing, they are completely opposite in nature.
"Father, is this thing really as scary as the Grand Master said?"
“In my opinion, it’s only better than anything else!”
"real?"
"Um!"
When Meng Lanshan was still alive, he doted on Qi Xiaotong very much, so he would teach her some medical knowledge from time to time. And poppy derivatives were one of them.
The old gentleman once told her very seriously: This thing is both a bodhisattva that saves people and a demon that kills people. It must not be taken lightly. It would rather die in the hands than be spread outside.
Although Qi Xiaotong was not sure about its specific harm, he kept these words in mind. Of course, Qi Yu's special instructions also played a crucial role.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that she did not dare to export this product to foreigners.
From a causal perspective, Tianzhu's crisis is actually very easy to resolve.
As long as you sell aphrodisiac to them, the relationship between the two parties will immediately take a 180-degree turn, and they will directly stop making peace and turn enemies into friends.
"God's Coming"
However, Qi Yu's stance on this matter is very tough and insists on sticking to the moral bottom line.
A gentleman will do something and not do something, and money will be earned and not earned.
Although it is said that harming foreigners can vent the hatred in one's heart, this is actually harmful to the world.
If you do this, you will not only lose your descendants, but you will also be sent to hell to be tortured after death!
"In my opinion, this war is inevitable. All we can do is to prepare for it!"
"Father, isn't there any clever way to resolve it?"
Yes, if we can avoid fighting, we won’t fight.
After Qi Xiaotong took over Dahua, he truly felt the importance of development. Only when the country is peaceful and the people are safe can the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Moreover, a war of this nature does not bring any benefits, and it only wastes money and wastes people's lives.
Therefore, it is best not to start a fight.
However, Qi Yu shook his head and said: "If those who eat aphrodisiac are ordinary overseas people, then this war can be artificially suppressed. However, it involves the monarchs of various countries.
, this is a bit difficult to handle..."
"You may not have the concept of 'it' yet. In front of Poppy, no matter how tough he is, he will bow his head and submit. The monarchs of all countries are no exception. I am very sure that they will not be able to survive its torture."
, and then, I will fight for it at all costs!"
"This..." Qi Xiaotong frowned again when she heard this, showing an unprecedented dignified look.
Compared with her entanglement, Qi Yu was more open-minded.
"Foreigners are ambitious and have been coveting China for a long time. Even without the stimulation of drug, the two sides will eventually have a war. It's just that this thing has advanced the trend."
"It's a blessing, not a curse. You can't avoid it. Since there will be a battle after all, why not face it calmly?"
ah!!
What a word that awakens the dreamer!
This sentence made Qi Xiaotong feel enlightened, clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, and immediately broke free from the difficult entanglement.
She was not the kind of person who was afraid of trouble. Since she couldn't avoid it, she might as well face it bravely.
"Father, what should we do next?"
"The first choice is to develop with all our strength without delay. Only when you become strong enough can you be able to protect one party. If you just make up your mind in vain and shout slogans, you will only fail in the end and make people laugh."
In the previous life, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered China, the old lady in Cixi believed very firmly that the Qing Empire, which was firmly ranked first in the world, was capable of fighting them.
In terms of determination, there is absolutely nothing to say, it is simply stronger than steel.
However, her complacency and misjudgment brought serious consequences to the Chinese nation.
Therefore, generally don’t talk about war lightly. If you really want to fight, you have to show your true skills!
The general policy is decided!
In the coming time, we must step up preparations for war in case of emergencies.
Opportunity always favors those who are prepared, and the same is true for military victory.
After deciding on the strategy, Qi Yu finally thought about tasting the herbal tea.
Just after taking a sip, he suddenly remembered something again.
"Oh, by the way, why didn't I hear you mention Harry's condition? Is he staying in Great Britain now, or has he returned to Great China with you?"
"You mean...him?"
For this foreigner, Qi Xiaotong has always used it and defended it.
Yongnai means that he should give full play to his own advantages to spread China's splendid culture; and defense means that he should not be allowed to come into contact with military power no matter what.
Familiarity will return to familiarity, and things will become things again.
It’s better not to discount the caution you should have towards people who are not of our race.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.
It was precisely based on the above thoughts that Qi Xiaotong tried to trick him into going abroad.
In this way, he completely broke away from the political arena of Dahua.
But Harry was more enlightened than he thought. With just a little prodding, he readily agreed.
However, after arriving in Great Britain, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity with home. So he decided to settle down here.
He has been wandering for half his life and has never settled down. Now that he has returned to his hometown as an old man, where can he still move his legs?
"You mean, Harry, he stayed in Great Britain?"
"Yes, he enjoys the sense of accomplishment brought by spreading culture very much, and he has the intention to spend his whole life. Because my plan encountered a sudden change, I tried to persuade him to come with me before leaving, but he could not be persuaded.
