Qin Ming accepted the surrender of the Aolai Kingdom and also agreed to the request of the Emperor of the Aolai Kingdom.

Isn't it just eating and drinking without worry, accompanied by beautiful women?

Qin Ming will definitely be satisfied.

But the king? It is impossible for Qin Ming to give him the title of king.

As for eating and drinking, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything good.

Accompanied by beautiful women? Isn't it fragrant to forcibly marry the ugliest and fat woman to the princes of the Five Kingdoms, that is, the current emperors of the Five Kingdoms, last time?

What more beauties?

Qin Ming can be sure that if he surrenders, the emperor of the Aolai Kingdom is wise, and he will regret it if he comes to the Chu State to eat and drink without worrying about the company of beautiful women.

After accepting the surrender, Qin Ming sent people to take over the Aolai Kingdom.

At this point, the country of Aolai will cease to exist.

Including Qingguo, Mongolia, Baiguo, and Nanguo.

Today, there is only one country, and that is the state of Chu, whose territory is twice as large as before.

Today's Chu State, the geographical area, is not worse than the Xicang Kingdom, and the Western Cangguo will never look at the Chu State as before.

Emperor Xicang understands this very well, and he knows that the state of Chu is strong.

He also knew that Qin Ming was also terrifying.

So far, he and the old emperor have been fooled by Qin Ming, and they can't admit it.

However, the elixir of immortality, he wanted, so he still had to help Qin Ming deny the news of the elixir of immortality in the state of Chu.

Of course, what he was thinking about right now was how to deal with the three major families.

After thinking about it, if you want to deal with it, you have to learn from Qin Ming, with enough books, break the monopoly of the family on knowledge, and let the poor people in the world study, and break the monopoly and control of the family on the court officials.

To put it bluntly, a tool is a book.

What to do? Although there are many books in the library of the Xicang Imperial Palace, all of them can be sent out, and there are not enough for many poor students.

The three major families also have books, but it is impossible for people to take them out.

What to do?

Just when the Emperor of the Western Cangguo Kingdom was worried about dealing with the three major families but had no books, Qin Ming, who was planning everything, threw an olive branch.

He wrote to the Emperor of Xicangguo: "We are still allies......"

At these words, the Emperor of the Western Cangguo looked disgusted, but in the next sentence, the Emperor of the Western Cangguo's eyes lit up, and he saw that the next thing was written:

"I know that you have had a headache dealing with the three major families recently, so I have decided to pass on your experience, and besides, I have a lot of books in this Chu country, you can come and buy ......"

Come on, this is obviously because Qin Ming wants to make money from Xicang Kingdom, so he has the idea here.

"Wait...... How did Emperor Chu know that I was fighting with the three major families? Inexplicably he is so well-informed? No matter what, what he said is not a bad way, there are not many books in Cangguo in the West of China, and you can buy them in Chu at a normal price.

In this way, it can not only deal with the big families, but also make the cold family of Xicang Kingdom rise, which is a good way, this investment is still very necessary? ”

When the emperor of the Western Cangguo Kingdom thought of this, he made up his mind to buy books.

So he wrote a letter to communicate with Qin Ming.

Qin Ming looked harmless to humans and animals, and said that according to the price of books on the market, Qin Ming would give him a 20% discount.

But the price of books on the market he said is not the price of books on the market in Chu.

The emperor of the Western Cangguo also did not know the price of books on the market of the Chu State, the previous Chu State was the same as the current Xicang Kingdom, and a book cost five taels of silver.

A 20% discount is four taels of silver, which saves a lot. Suddenly, the Emperor of Xicang Kingdom felt that Qin Ming was not bad.

But how did the Emperor of the Western Cangguo Kingdom know that these books are less than one or two taels of silver in today's Chu State......

The manufacturing cost of a book is less than 100 points, and even with the maturity of paper-making and printing technology, the cost is already dozens of yuan.

In other words, this transaction, Chu Guo made a blush.

Where did the Emperor of the Western Cangguo Kingdom know this, so he couldn't wait to sign an order with Qin Ming to order 10 million books and 40 million taels of silver.

In this business, both parties feel that they have made money, and they are both happy.

……

In addition, after a month of communication and efforts with the Han Kingdom, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Rites have also preliminarily planned a snack road.

This snack road is nearly 2,000 miles long, and it takes at least five or six days by horse-drawn carriage.

That is to say, if the people of Chu bring enough goods and go directly to Han to sell, it will take more than ten days to go back and forth, and it will take about ten days to sell goods in Han, and it will take a month to ship this shipment.

But the goods they bring, excluding expenses and costs, can earn a few taels of silver, and that is considered to be earned.

Moreover, along the way, they will pass through several countries, and the goods will be sold before they reach the Han Kingdom.

This is the road of business, not only has a big customer, but also through the exchange with the big customer, meet some customers between them.

In this way, Chu's foreign trade will become bigger and bigger, and the income will be more and more at that time, and the economy will get better and better.

After all, silver is of the same value in any country in this world.

Bringing other people's wealth to one's own country through labor and wisdom is economic development.

Today, the territory of Chu has expanded, the population has increased, the army has continued to develop, and commerce and trade have opened up the snack road and book cooperation with the Western Cangguo.

In this way, there will be more and more places to make money.

The state of Chu will also get bigger and bigger.

In this regard, Qin Ming was very happy, less than a year after he became the emperor, the Chu State had undergone such earth-shaking changes, how could he not be happy?

Fortunately, it did not disappoint the first emperor.

Thinking of this, he is still very relieved.

During this time, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Qin Ming was in the palace every day, dealing with some problems in the regions of the several countries he ruled.

For example, to crack down on the families that existed in these countries such as the original Qingguo, Mengguo, and Aolai Country.

For example, to clean up the corrupt officials left behind in these countries, crack down on the evil forces that exist in these countries, and so on.

It's always been busy, but it's also relatively chic and comfortable, and it's rare to have this kind of stability.

However, at this time, the system that had not moved for a long time suddenly bubbled:

"Ding, host, there's a new quest released!"

Qin Ming was dealing with the government in the Qingxin Palace, put down the pen, and asked in his heart:

"What task?"

"Ding, rescue Ye Xiaowu!

Time: Within one month!

Location: Jinguo Palace!

Reward: One random draw!

Punishment: Forfeit all rewards! ”

Qin Ming frowned: "What's wrong with Ye Xiaowu?" ”

"Ding, the system doesn't know!" The system says.

Ye Xiaowu had failed to assassinate Qin Ming in the Jin Kingdom before, but was seen naked by Qin Ming, and later because Qin Ming threatened the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he put forward a condition to let Ye Xiaowu, the princess of the Jin Kingdom, be his maid.

After staying by Qin Ming's side for a year, Qin Ming let her go back to Jinguo.

At that time, the little girl seemed to be reluctant, but she probably missed her mother, so she went back to Jinguo.

But what is the situation now? The system asked Qin Ming to rescue Ye Xiaowu? What happened to Ye Xiaowu?

When he was puzzled, Qin Ming also suddenly realized a problem, it seemed that in the past few months since Ye Xiaowu left, there had indeed been no news of her.

Qin Ming was really a little worried, it had nothing to do with the task, but Ye Xiaowu, like Yan Lingfei and Luo Ziyi, could be regarded as Qin Ming's confidante, if something really happened, Qin Ming couldn't stand by and watch!
