Chapter 1279 Have an idea

It would be best if Taishi Xu could write the preface.

Moreover, with the reputation of Chu Dunru and Chu Yin, he will definitely not refuse.

After talking about the matter, Rong An asked Chu Dunru again: "Father-in-law, I have already proposed a foreign appointment, but the emperor has always refused. I wonder if there is any way to solve it?"

Chu Dunru stroked his beard and smiled, "Actually, you already have an idea, right?"

Chu Yin couldn't help turning his head to look at Rong An, he had never told him.

Rong An scratched his head, "I just have a rough idea, I haven't thought about it carefully yet.

"What I proposed in my memorial to the emperor is that I want to go to the Northland. Although the weather in the Northland is bad, it has become much better after the past few years of management.

"The most important thing is that there are rich mineral deposits, and I also have a good foundation there, and the defenders there are still my old troops.

"Of course, I know that the emperor will not agree, and this is just a roundabout way.

“When the emperor first ascends to Dabao, what he fears most is the instability of the border.

"I conquered the North, East, and South China Sea before. My contribution has been very high. It can be said that I can't be crowned. I can't be crowned a king with a different surname when I'm less than thirty years old.

"So he wanted to keep me in Beijing and let me make some mistakes, so that the merits and demerits would be balanced and everyone would be in peace.

"So I acted out a scene with Zi Ji, one to make Zi Ji trust him more, and the other to make him believe that I am still the same reckless man as before.

"But if there is any war on the border at this time...if no one is available for the time being, they will still think of me."

Chu Yin's face changed slightly.

Rong An immediately said: "It is said that one general can kill thousands of people, but I don't want to harm innocent people just because of my own selfish desires.

"So this idea is just a prototype, and I haven't figured out how to do it yet."

Chu Dunru thought for a moment and said: "Although Xirong has signed a covenant with us, they have betrayed their trust not once or twice.

"I heard that there is a severe drought in Xirong this year and there is also a locust plague. I'm afraid I might have other ideas."

Rong An was reminded, "Yes, Xirong's life has not been very good recently. They do not have much cultivated land in the country, their food production has not been able to increase, and many people starve to death every year.

"If there is anyone's instigation at this time, they will definitely unite and prepare to go eastward to plunder."

Chu Dunru smiled and said: "That's right, it's best to make them more powerful and gather more troops.

"Didn't you already station some personnel there? Let them evacuate the people in advance. Of course, there will still be necessary losses."

"It's not worth anything," Rong An's eyes became clearer and clearer, "The local people's houses are already very dilapidated, even if they are destroyed, it is not a big loss.

"When the time comes, I'll just have people help them rebuild their houses. It would be a pity if the farmland is destroyed."

Chu Dunru shook his head slightly, "It's not inevitable. It's the time of summer harvest now. As long as the grain is gathered and returned to the warehouse, you can't afford to compensate for the losses suffered by the people?

"If you can't afford the compensation, I will bear part of it for you."

"No, no, no," Rong An waved his hand quickly, "How can I ask my father-in-law to pay for it? If you can provide me with such an idea, my son-in-law will see the light of day!"

"I will leave the remaining details to the counselors to discuss. I believe they will give me a satisfactory answer."
