Chapter 872: An Agreement is reached

That's right, Qin Ming wanted to open up the trade between Chu and Han.

In order to develop the economy, it is not possible to rely only on domestic and neighboring countries.

Therefore, Qin Ming set his sights on the powerful and wealthy country of Han.

If the two countries can be opened up for commerce, with the coal mining business, food business and paper printing business of Chu State, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money in Han State and improve the economy of Chu State.

He is a person who has never suffered a loss, he was inexplicably brought here, he was involved in the internal strife of the Han Kingdom, and he was injured, this matter, Qin Ming did not intend to give up.

Now talking to the emperor of the Han State, since he has the heart to help her, he must also have the attitude of getting benefits.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming made a plan to open up trade with the Han Kingdom.

Opening up commerce and trade with a big country like Han is not only a trade with Han, but also a lot of countries on the road from Chu to Han for about 2,000 miles.

Such a road can be developed into a commercial road.

Qin Ming has thought of the name, it's called the Snack Road!

There is no way, the type of business that has a strong momentum in Chu now is snacks, which has developed throughout Chu State.

And these snacks, such as skewers, fried chicken, grilled gluten, cold noodles, umeboshi baked cakes, stinky tofu, etc., are not available in other countries.

The development of commerce and trade should give priority to the export of food, and then the development of coal mines, paper making and printing books, etc......

In this way, in a short period of time, the state of Chu will definitely become strong by absorbing the economy of the country through which the Han State and the Snack Road passed.

After listening to Qin Ming's request, Han Guohe thought about it and said, "That's it? ”

Indeed, this request does not seem excessive, because there is already commerce between countries.

It's just that most of the countries that are close to them have them, and those that are a little farther away are not.

Because the distance is long, the cost is high.

"That's right, that's it!" Qin Ming nodded.

The Emperor of Han said: "However, the distance between Chu and Han is two thousand miles, and it is difficult for these two countries to make profits in commerce and trade." ”

"You don't understand this, the specialties of my Chu country, transported to the Han country, will definitely be wanted, even if it is a little more expensive. And the specialties of the Han Kingdom, transported to the Chu State, are also wanted.

In this way, the economies of the two sides have come and gone, and their respective specialties have a market. As for the problem of long distance and high cost, doesn't it just solve the problem of employment for many people? Qin Ming said.

Indeed, just because it's a six- or seven-day trip doesn't mean they don't have to make money.

This is a bit similar to making jobs prosperous, but it can solve a lot of employment problems.

Besides, Qin Ming didn't think that because of the distance, the merchants of the Chu State would lose.

He is confident that when these snacks arrive in the Han Kingdom, if they increase by one-tenth of the original price slightly, the people of the Han Kingdom will definitely eat them, and this one-tenth is enough to become the person who transports the snacks, and the cost of a few days of travel will even make more money.

This is just a snack, and in winter, the coal industry will be more profitable.

As for papermaking and new books, even in the Han Kingdom, there was no such technology, so a large number of papers and books must be needed by the people of the Han Kingdom.

Seeing that Qin Ming was very confident, the Emperor of Han also nodded and said, "Okay, after this incident, I will sign an agreement with you on business and trade cooperation between the two countries in the name of the king of a country!" ”

"Exquisite!" Qin Ming nodded, very satisfied.

"So, what do we do now? My enemies, to be honest, are many! The Girl Emperor spoke.

Qin Ming smiled: "As long as you are the emperor and you have already sat on this throne, what if there are more enemies?" ”

"King Jing was good at leading troops to fight, so there were many military generals who supported him, and there was no precedent for women to be emperors in the Han Kingdom, so some pedantic civil officials also supported King Jing, so it can be said that most of the civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty supported King Jing, and there were not many supporters of me."

Qin Ming pouted: "Just take out the thunder means, from now on, whoever does it right for you will be killed." The first to take it out and start the knife was the person who assassinated me when I came yesterday, and the commander Zhao who blocked my way and wanted to kill me. ”

"This Commander Zhao is King Jing's people." The Girl Emperor said.

"That's right, you order, let him come over, cure him for the crime of disrespecting the emperor of a friendly country, and kill him!" Qin Ming said that he admitted that he had selfish intentions and was to take revenge on Commander Zhao.

When the girl emperor heard this, he immediately ordered outside: "Come here, call Zhao Wei, the commander of the capital patrol!" ”

The eunuch outside left to leave, and soon, the middle-aged man Zhao Commander entered the imperial study, and after meeting the girl emperor with an expressionless face, he looked up at Qin Ming directly with a look of disdain.

Qin Ming got up, put his hands behind his back, looked at Commander Zhao and said:

"You stopped me yesterday and wanted to kill me, can you be guilty?"

"Heh, this commander is an official of the Han State, how can you have the reason for the emperor of the Chu State to ask for guilt!" Commander Zhao didn't care.

Qin Ming smiled: "Okay, what you said makes sense, but what crime is it that you want to kill your honored guest of the Emperor of the Han Kingdom?" ”

Commander Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "At most, there is a crime of disrespect, Your Majesty, Chen Chen will go and get ten boards." ”

The girl emperor frowned, she knew that it would not be too easy to kill this guy, so she looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming smiled at her, and then said to Commander Zhao, "Ten boards? Are you afraid that I thought that I called you here today for a joke? ”

"And what else do you want?" Commander Zhao sneered.

Qin Ming's eyes were cold: "How?" Hehe, naturally I want you to die here today! ”

"Hahaha, I am an official of the Han State, and you are the emperor of the Chu State, I'm afraid you don't have this strength!"

Commander Zhao sneered, as the commander of a big country, he had the support of a prince who could compete with the emperor behind him, and he didn't even respect the girl emperor, so what, would he treat Qin Ming as a thing?

"You will know if I have the strength or not, now tell me, behind you, is there King Jing to support you?" Qin Ming asked.

Commander Zhao was stunned for a moment and sneered: "This commander doesn't know what you're talking about. ”

"Now, if you don't admit it, it doesn't mean much, I'm actually very curious, if you die, will King Jing be more and more excessive?" Qin Ming scratched his head.

"Let's not say that you can't kill this commander at all, even if you really kill it, King Jing will definitely not let you go." Commander Zhao said confidently.

"That's great, if he doesn't let me go, I can deal with him, the more angry he is, the faster he dies, and as for you, you will be an introduction for me to deal with him." Qin Ming said lightly.

Commander Zhao despised it: "It's a pity, you have no reason to kill Commander Ben, Your Majesty, and no!" ”

Qin Ming's smile became more and more strange: "Who said that?" ”

Immediately, Qin Ming turned around and said to the Emperor of Han: "I sent you to the Han Kingdom to make friendly friends and promote relations and commerce between the two countries.

But one of the commanders of your country actually wants to kill me, intending to destroy the relationship between the two countries, and to plunge the two countries into war.

Such people with bad intentions and harm the interests of the country, if you don't kill the Han State, my Chu State will send troops to fight the Han State! ”

After a few words, the girl emperor was stunned, and for a while, he couldn't enter Qin Ming's routine!
