Emperor Wei felt that Qin Ming had made countless enemies now, and it was impossible for him to really come and make enemies of Wei Guo for the sake of some businessmen.

However, he knew that the line of governance that Chu was taking now was to reduce taxes and value commerce.

It can be said that agriculture is the foundation of national security, and commerce is the law of national wealth.

Nowadays, the agriculture of Chu has been unprecedentedly good, and mercantilism is the development trend of today.

Emphasis on agriculture should allow the people of the country to be well fed and well-fed, so that the country has strong grain reserves.

And the importance of commerce is to let the people live well, have money to spend, and make the Chu State rich.

During this period of heavy commerce, it also really began, making the people rich, and it can be seen through the tax revenue of the commercial tax that a steady stream of silver, with the labor of the people of Chu State, was earned back from foreign countries through the trade of merchants.

It is feasible to strengthen the country with agriculture and commerce.

Therefore, Qin Ming attaches great importance to commerce and trade, and attaches more importance to the fact that merchants are robbed and killed in other countries.

Of course, the most important thing is that even if the Chu State has many enemies, it is definitely capable of dealing with it, and it will not put the defense of the country in its eyes.

The army of 10,000 pioneer battalions is not here to scare anyone.

The next day, noon.

The general of the pass received the emperor's order, and shouted at Xue Rengui below at the pass:

"Listen to this general of the Chu State, my Majesty has an order, wait for you to leave the border of my country, otherwise, I am afraid that my country will also stand on the opposite side of the State of Chu and regard your move as an attack!"

Below, Xue Rengui sneered and said, "Since that's the case, then let's attack!" ”

"Hahaha, this general is really good at laughing, you are only 10,000 people, and you are going to attack my pass? Although there are only a few hundred or thousands of people at this pass, the terrain is steep, condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

You don't have a day, you can't attack at all, and in less than half a day, tens of thousands of garrisons at our border can rush over, and when the time comes, you won't be a dead end? Therefore, General Ben advises you to ......"

"Come on, prepare the bomb and blow up the pass!" Xue Rengui ordered.

The next moment, several soldiers took out a few bombs and lit them, and without saying a word, threw them at the gate of the pass.

Before the guard could react to what was going on, there were a few loud noises, and the pass was broken.

The guard was stunned, girl, just now he was still chattering about how difficult it is to break through this pass, this side of the cattle batch has not been blown yet, over there, people have broken the pass again?

In an instant, his face darkened, and at the same time, he didn't know what to do.

Does this count as a declaration of war by the State of Chu?

Does this count as a Chu army raid?

Does that count......

Come on, what's the use of thinking about this?

The passes are all broken, and hundreds or thousands of people are directly exposed in front of tens of thousands of people on the other side.

In the distance of the pass, many merchants of Chu gathered more and more, because the Chu army came, the pass was closed before, and the route of this trade road was closed, and many merchants could only wait quietly.

But they all understand that Chu State is doing this for the sake of thieves and thieves.

Now, seeing that the army of Chu State directly broke through the pass easily, many merchants of Chu State were excited.

Some people even shouted: "That defender of the country, didn't he threaten our Chu State just now, thinking that our Chu State would not dare to do anything to you?" See it now? Attacking your defense line is as easy as farting. ”

"That is, how much benefit does the road of commerce and trade bring to your country? Our Majesty the Emperor of Chu asked you to deal with the thieves and rogues, and you are still playing the score? Now continue to put on the score, do you really think that our Chu State is easy to bully? ”

"This patriotic country, it's really a death, our Chu country is in full swing, they still have to raise the bar with Chu country, now it's okay, isn't it embarrassing?"

"If my army is killed, they will know that it is powerful, hahaha......"

Hearing these words, the guard was really intimidated, the army of Chu was brave and good at fighting, they knew it, so they wanted to run, however, they saw that Xue Rengui did not order the army to rush in.

Take a closer look, none of the troops of the Chu State rushed into the pass.

Xue Rengui snorted and said to the soldiers and guards of the Guannai Guard:

"Wait a minute, the purpose of this time is not to attack the country, but to break through the customs just to enter the customs. The primary purpose of the general is to follow the snack road all the way to exterminate the thieves and bandits.

However, if you dare to have soldiers come out to block or make enemies, or have other sensitive actions, then General Ben does not mind stirring up the world at your patriotic borders. Convey the words of this general to your emperor as they are. ”

The guard swallowed and said, "Are you serious?" ”

"General Ben speaks, naturally seriously, the purpose is to get rid of thieves, as long as the rules of defending the country are pointed, General Ben will not be embarrassed." Xue Rengui deserves to be a famous general.

So......

It's night again, and many ministers are in the Weiguo Palace, and at this moment, they are all looking at the guards at the border pass.

The guard general was repeating Xue Rengui's words to the emperor, only to see him with a serious face, his head held high, majestic and domineering, trying to learn Xue Rengui's appearance, and said word for word:

"Wait a minute, the purpose of this time is not to attack the country............ But...............

Then General Ben doesn't mind making a big deal about you defending the borders of the country. Convey the words of this general to your emperor as they are. ”

After speaking, the guard immediately accepted the posture, quickly bent down and said:

"Your Majesty, that's what the general of the Chu State said at that time, it's not bad once......"

Emperor Wei swallowed his spit and said, "This Chu State ...... is so exciting, and so serious...... Is it just to get rid of thieves? Not really, right? ”

"Your Majesty, this Chu State obviously attaches great importance to the Snack Road, and the merchants of the Chu State are not allowed to have the slightest accident or loss on the Snack Road." A minister's analysis.

The emperor nodded and said, "It can only be explained in this way, but the benefits brought to the Chu State by this snack road are probably really amazing, and it makes my eyes red, why don't I also encourage our merchants who defend the country to do business on this snack road?" ”

"Your Majesty, let's defend the country, there is nothing to sell...... a minister said.

The emperor said, "Why not? Grain? ”

"We people may not all have enough to eat, how can we sell food?" Some ministers were speechless.

The emperor said, "Salt? ”

"What country doesn't have salt?"

The emperor said again, "Cloth? ”

"The weaving technology is not as good as that of Chu, and the cloth is good and cheap, so we can't sell it......"

The emperor said: "Iron? ”

"Your Majesty, iron can't be sold, how can folk iron be sold, and you still want to export it to other countries? So that they can make weapons to fight us......" The minister hit mercilessly.

The emperor was stunned: "Let's defend the country, just do nothing?" Can't sell anything? ”

The ministers shook their heads, and one of them spoke: "We don't have special products that other countries need, some of us have them, and ours are not as good as others, so we really don't have anything to sell." ”

The emperor said: "There are many prostitutes in the Qinglou in our country, let them go to other countries to sell, a million profits!" ”

The minister below was completely speechless: "Your Majesty, do you think you have a good sense ......of humor?"
