A hundred years ago, there was a sage who said, "There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust." Although in the common understanding of the world, this "Tao" refers to the path of benevolence. But Chu Jiangmian never thought so.

Only state-to-state relations that combine the greatest common interests can be the most stable "avenue". This is a philosophy that he has been actively instilling in his followers from now on. Just as there is no hate without a reason in the world, and there is no love without a reason. In the midst of the chaos of the princes in the world, if you want to truly become the center of power, it is absolutely impossible to rely on strong force alone. And the so-called benevolence and righteousness are even more pedantic. Only enough interests to attract is the absolute king!

"How good is it for everyone to make money happily together? Isn't it all about making the people of your own country as good as possible? There is a better way, why go through war...... The violent means of beating, killing and killing can only bring trauma and destruction. The so-called poor soldiers, dethroned by the military, labored the people and lost money, and in the end, everyone fought back and forth, making the whole world a miasma, and no one would get benefits. ”

The distant mountains are verdant, and the flowers are blooming. Lan Lingjun, who was sitting cross-legged and listening intently to the explanation of the young man opposite, had a look of admiration on his face from the heart. In a trance, he seemed to have a delusion. Chu Jiangmian's gaze may be able to see far away, and nothing in this world can escape from his eyes.

"A conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years! Wuzhao and the king really met late! Although the country of Qi is known as rich, in fact, the people are poor and suffer from hunger for a long time! Needless to say, these are not to be said. If there are more ways to increase the revenue of the national treasury and solve the problem of food and clothing for the people, it is my greatest wish all along. It's just that even though I have this heart, there are many times when I can't do anything...... I hope the king will teach me more! ”

Lanling Juntian Wuzhao has always had great ambitions. Unlike other noble sons who only know how to have fun, when he traveled to the people since he was a child, he had a deep understanding of the suffering of the people. Over the years, he has entered the royal court, but he is not a person who covets power, even if he wants more power, it is only to do more. It's just that the low productivity of the people and the distress of factions within the royal court made him achieve little even if he put in a lot of effort.

The world only knows that Lanling Jun is good at raising soldiers, and relies on them to spy on the development of the various vassal states in the world. In fact, he didn't understand that the real purpose of his doing this was not to help Qi achieve any ambitions and hegemony, but just to learn from other people's strengths and emerging things as much as possible to change the status quo within Qi State.

It's just that it's not so easy to get a huge harvest through this means. None of the princes and kings of the world are fools. I have something good at home, or something innovative, and the secrecy work is very strict. If you want to spy on it, it's even harder than climbing to the sky. Just like the Wei Ying Revolution of the Qin State decades ago, the world only saw that they had achieved fruitful results and great national strength. It is not known what exactly it is. There is only the envy of emptiness.

And Lanling Jun Tian Wuzhao never thought that Chu Jiangmian, who had only seen one side, would give him and Qi Guo such a rich feedback in a row. This made him feel grateful in his heart, but also a little scared. Therefore, in front of Chu Jiangmian, he has always put his identity very low.

Chu Jiangmian naturally understood his thoughts. Through the information of Qianji Pavilion, he knew very well the personality of this Lanling Jun, this was a person who could cooperate with him, and he was trustworthy. So, he replied with a faint smile.

"Lanling Jun doesn't have to be so humble. What you have done is something I have always admired. Among the four princes in the world, Lan Lingjun is the one who is truly open-minded and works for the well-being of the people...... Rest assured. The cooperation between Zhao and Qi will be multifaceted. This is mutually beneficial, and it is of great benefit to both parties. It is no exaggeration to say that within half a year at the fast or a few years at the latest, the improvement of people's livelihood and the enhancement of national strength will have immediate results, and the results will be seen soon. Please tell King Qi when Lan Lingjun goes back, let him not worry, just wait and see! ”

Hearing his confident and sincere tone, Lan Lingjun was filled with emotion. Of course, he believed that Chu Jiangmian had such an ability. In fact, the benefits that I received from him in the early stage were important enough. Whether it is winemaking, fine salt refining, or the production and promotion of looms, for Qi Guo, the huge benefits that will be obtained can be imagined. And today, he has promised to help Qi develop the Great East China Sea. Just listening to his brief mention of the values that can be used, Lan Lingjun is already excited. Since the East China Sea is such an inexhaustible treasure house, with the help of Zhao Guo, the future of Qi is really worth looking forward to!

"King, if you have a chance, I really want to invite you to Qi Country as a guest! One is to express gratitude, and the other is to ask for a lot of unfinished matters that need to be consulted in person...... That's what the queen meant. Hehe! ”

Chu Jiangmian's heart moved. When he raised his head, he understood the deep meaning in Lan Lingjun's gaze. Without hesitation, he nodded and agreed. Although the mediocre Qi King Tian Jiang is not worthy of much attention, the legendary very famous queen Wuyan, he really wants to see for himself how virtuous he is.

Lan Lingjun agreed when he saw him so happily, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart. There is no need to wait for the future, he can almost foresee now that the Zhao State, under the leadership of Chu Jiangmian, will definitely take advantage of the situation and dominate among the princes of the world. If the Qi State follows in its footsteps, it will also usher in a new situation that is very different from the past.

"Is the pearl beauty cream that the king said really that magical?"

All the important things have been discussed. Lan Lingjun asked this last question with curiosity.

"Huh! Lan Lingjun didn't need to doubt it. How can beauty and skin care products made from such a precious thing as pearls be bad? Of course, the effect is excellent. ”

"That'...... How much wealth will this thing bring? ”

It was the first time for Lan Lingjun to talk about money in such a direct way, and he felt a fever on his face. Since ancient times, the way of Shinong industry and commerce, and the way of merchants, has been ranked at the end. It would be a bit embarrassing for a nobleman like him to do these things in person. However, he will not be embarrassed right away. Because what he heard afterwards surprised him a lot.

"Well, how do you say that, let's use an analogy! If this industry is done well, the current annual treasury income of your entire Qi country will not be comparable to the huge profits it brings! ”

Lan Lingjun participated in the government affairs, so he was naturally very aware of the treasury income of Qi in recent years. can be called a great country of princes in the world, and ranked among the top three, the financial resources of Qi are not trivial. But now Chu Jiangmian said that this small pearl can bring such a big fortune? If it weren't for the mouth of the person in front of him, he could only think that he was talking nonsense on a whim!

But since Chu Jiangmian said that he could, he would definitely be able to. He was sure that the young man would never speak outrageously. It's a very exciting commitment.

"All women in the world love beauty. They attach more importance to their appearance than men can imagine! If you don't believe it, Lan Lingjun can do a survey after going back, ask the beautiful concubines around him, and see what they say, and you will understand...... The enormity of this consumer market will be unlimited. In the future, it will be up to us to see how far we can go. And what I'm talking about is just a small part of this huge market. There are many ways to obtain wealth from them, and if Lan Lingjun is interested, we can develop more things in the future. For example, spices, new styles of clothing, all kinds of jewelry, etc., when the time comes, the Qi country will have to expand the treasury tenfold! Hehe! ”

Lan Lingjun, who was dumbfounded, glanced at his entourage who had already listened stupidly, and felt a little dry mouth. He couldn't help but swallow and asked.

"Enlarge the treasury tenfold...... What is this for? ”

"Of course, I'm afraid that money and wealth will roll in, and there is no place for Qi to put it!"

Lan Lingjun Huo Ran got up, and his excited hands were about to tremble. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't lose his temper in front of the mausoleum, he would almost have looked up to the sky and laughed.

"So, we're done! The State of Qi will form an eternal friendship with the State of Zhao. After I returned to Qi, I began to arrange all matters of comprehensive cooperation...... By the way, I look forward to the early arrival of King Zhao! ”

With great longing and hope, the satisfied Lan Lingjun left. Chu Jiangmian watched the back of the Qi people leave, and his heart was also very happy. Connecting Qi to the east is a very important step for him. If he can, he hopes to open the mouth of the East China Sea in the shortest possible time. The vast ocean will carry his farther vision.

"That's weird! Why do you know so much about girls? ”

Murong Qiancheng, who had been listening attentively from the side, looked Chu Jiangmian up and down with a puzzled gaze. She really couldn't understand, how could he know so many things? And the study of girls' psychology is so detailed...... It's just disgusting!

"Haven't you heard? This king has always been spread all over the world in the name of a gentleman! I can't coax girls at all, so how can I be called the first of the four great gentlemen in the world? Hey! ”

Hearing his joking words, Qiancheng raised his good-looking slender eyebrows, squinted at him, and snorted coldly.

"Humph! I already knew that you used to put all your mind on the girl's family. In the palace these days, when I heard those beautiful little palace maids talk about it, they all look like nymphomaniacs. ”

Chu Jiangmian opened his mouth wide in surprise, this is too slanderous! Is this king like that?

Unexpectedly, Murong Qiancheng leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice: "That Queen of Qi wants to see you so much, does she want to marry their princess to you?"
