"Father, I think that we don't have to rely on war to build the country. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds to make Great Xia stronger and the commoners more well-fed?"
"If it's really as Official Zuo said and we give up on everything else and focus on Xiongnu, even if we win, the price Great Xia has to pay can't be made up for in just three to five years."
"Official Zuo, don't tell me that the food can be planted again and the new law can be used again. I only want to ask, how do you think we can compensate the people who have lost their families because of the war?"
Imperial Censor Zuo was rendered speechless, but the Emperor was very touched. He turned around and asked.
"Crown Prince, what do you think?"
The Crown Prince retracted his resentful gaze from Rong Yan and took a deep breath. "I think what Third Brother said is too idealistic. Who can guarantee that Xiongnu will obediently wait for Great Xia to make preparations?"
