Chapter 954: The Pressure of the Little Princess
The murderous intent that the little princess showed just now actually surprised Qin Mingdu, it seems that during his absence, the little princess was also forced to have some aura and momentum that a king should have.
So Qin Ming comforted and said: "Don't be angry, their country is in danger, so they took the risk to bring me over, I helped them, and reached a cooperation with them, and after we have built the economy of the southwest land, we can make Chu and the big countries in the southeast also start to carry out commercial and trade cooperation." ”
Of course, when he said this, Qin Ming was actually a little helpless.
Because he drove for so many days, he returned to Chu from Tang State, which shows that the distance between the southwest and the southeast is really far.
To be honest, it will not be too easy for these two regions to cooperate in business and trade.
Because the distance is too long, the journey between merchants is too long, and the cost will increase.
In this way, the money earned between merchants and merchants may not match the amount of time they put in, and such a trade is not so easy to achieve.
Unless it's really like Qin Ming's previous idea, make a steam engine, and then build railways and trains.
In this way, it will be possible to achieve further economic exchanges!
But obviously taking the train and taking the steam engine were out of reach for Qin Ming.
He doesn't have that much knowledge, and being able to make popsicles is already good.
Thinking of this, Qin Ming shook his head, put these cranky thoughts behind him, and then said to the little princess:
"During my absence, did anything happen in the state of Chu?"
The little princess thought for a while and said, "Something has also happened, the main thing is economic cooperation with the ten countries." In the past month, although we have tried our best to block the news of your disappearance, it seems that the ten countries have also received some news. ”
"After all, the heritage of the Ten Kingdoms is not comparable to our current Chu State, they have more masters, and it is estimated that there are also a lot of their eyeliner in this palace.
Therefore, a week after your disappearance, a few of the ten countries began to make some demands for cooperation with the Chu State.
For example, in the commercial transactions between the two sides, the state of Chu was required to reduce the amount of taxes. As for the merchants of our Chu State, in the commercial transactions of their countries, they need to pay some more taxes to them. ”
Hearing this, Qin Ming sneered and said, "Asking us to lower our taxes, but they want to raise them, hmph, they will really take advantage."
It seems that they also found out that the merchants of our Chu State made some money from them, so they wanted to use the way of raising taxes to harshly cut some of the money from the merchants.
It's just that in this way, wouldn't it be the merchants of my Chu country, who have worked hard to earn the money, and they have to divide some of their countries? ”
The little princess nodded and said, "Obviously, that's what they mean, they obviously think that our Chu State has made more money in business and trade cooperation, but it is reasonable for us to earn more!"
After all, we are a big exporter, and we sell our things to them, shouldn't we make money? There's no way we're going to sell them our stuff and lose money, right?
So this incident also made me angry, and after negotiating with them, I have not compromised, and I have not given an inch until now. ”
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Then did they take any measures?" ”
The little princess said: "Yes, they sent some people to the Chu State to discuss, although it is a consultation, but the meaning revealed openly and secretly is very obvious, probably if our Chu State does not agree to reduce taxes and do not agree to them to raise taxes, the two sides will give up cooperation." ”
Qin Ming looked at the little princess and said, "How did you deal with it?" ”
The little princess snorted and said, "Of course it's impossible for me to regress, I'll tell them that if they don't cooperate, they won't cooperate, and I can't let the merchants of our Chu State do business, but they will lose money, right?"
If you don't cooperate, at least you won't lose money! After hearing my words, the people who came to negotiate with us were very angry, so they angrily decided to go back and cut off business relations with us.
However, after they returned, after only two or three days, they found that the people of their countries had become interested in the various businesses of our Chu State.
In particular, all kinds of snacks, coal mines, books, cheap clothes, various vegetable seeds, etc., these are all needed by the people.
Therefore, even if their country no longer intends to trade with our Chu State, these people will still take the initiative to trade with our merchants.
This made the countries understand that it was impossible to break off the cooperation with the Chu State, so they sent people to negotiate with us again, and this time their attitude was still firm, and they did not intend to retreat.
It's just that in the negotiation, the words seem to be vaguely trying to express something from time to time. For example, from time to time, I asked to see the emperor. From this point of view, they probably already know about your disappearance at the time.
That's why I deliberately brought you up, wanting us to understand a truth, that is, the Chu State is without you, try not to anger them. Probably, it is to tell us in disguise that we are not qualified to bargain with them. ”
Qin Ming smiled again and said, "Then what should they do now?" ”
The little princess said: "They are still in the Chu State, it is estimated that they will come to talk to us tomorrow or when, I am with so many ministers this afternoon, that is, I am discussing how to deal with them." ”
Qin Ming snorted and said, "Okay, don't worry now, I'm back, leave everything to me." Didn't they just see that I wasn't there, so they dared to bully Chu Guo, tomorrow, let me talk to them and see where they got the strength to make these requests. ”
The little princess grinned and said, "Actually, it can be seen that those countries are actually afraid of you, especially that ...... Ice Country! ”
Qin Ming laughed and said, "Xue Rengui broke the ice country with thirty people, and I killed him to protect him back then, can he not be afraid?" ”
The little princess suddenly realized: "No wonder, so, if you are here, they must be honest, and if you are not there, they will be rampant." ”
Qin Ming smiled and nodded, then looked at some officials and asked them all to go back to rest, and then Qin Ming took the little princess and went back to the outside of the Qingxin Hall with her.
"Yan'er, I'll show you something good, you close your eyes first." Qin Ming said with a smile.
The little princess did so, Qin Ming took out the car from the system and said, "It's okay." ”
When she opened her eyes, the little princess looked at the huge black iron box in front of her and said, "Huh? What is it? ”
Qin Ming opened the car door and asked the little princess to get in the car and sit down, Qin Ming also sat in the cab, and started the car.
This frightened the little princess, and said in surprise:
"What is this...... Will move ...... on his own."
