With popsicles, the ministers ate a dozen popsicles one by one when it was dark from dawn to dawn.

But if you eat too much, it's easy to have diarrhea. So, when they got to the back, the ministers lined up one by one with their pants and crotch to the thatched house.

Qin Ming, who watched this scene, was speechless and helpless.

The popsicle was very fast, and it spread in the harem, and the people in the harem also ate it.

Then Qin Ming told the method to Hubu Shangshu, let him produce popsicles in large quantities, and then recruit people to sell them, which is definitely a big income for the treasury.

So, in the next period of time, popsicles became a favorite thing for everyone in the imperial capital.

And this thing, everyone heard that the emperor invented a method to get it, so the people respected Qin Ming, the emperor, more and more.

Even, many people already regard Qin Ming as a god-like man.

Today's Chu State is very strong, and some small countries around it often come to pay tribute and meet Qin Ming, and Qin Ming has become accustomed to it.

However, in this kind of day that gradually calmed down, Qin Ming received a letter.

It is an invitation letter to the 10-nation exchange meeting in the southwest region.

Qin Ming read the content, which probably means that every year in the southwest region, a meeting of the Ten Kingdoms will be held, and the general content of the discussion is the exchange between the emperors, and the cooperation between each other, etc.

This is an exchange meeting between the great powers, because between the great powers, it is almost impossible for a battle to happen.

Everyone is working hard to develop the economy and national strength, and in many cases, it is no longer by fighting wars to make themselves stronger, but by improving themselves in all aspects to surpass other countries.

The 10-nation talks are about cooperation and exchanges between each other, so that everyone can benefit and become strong together.

I have to say that the pattern of big countries is different, the smaller the country, the more it likes to rely on plundering to strengthen itself, to put it bluntly, this kind of barbaric behavior is destined to be a small country, blindly plundering, in the end will only make itself the object of plunder.

Qin Ming is different, under the consistent battle, he always emphasizes that he wants the people to be rich and the country strong, and then fight.

That is, in any case, the people of Chu have food and money, and they can easily support Chu to fight, so Chu is getting stronger and stronger.

Rather than blindly relying on plunder.

Moreover, basically, the battles of Chu are all won steadily, and they are all to ensure that the strength of other countries is far stronger, and then fight.

Returning to the ten countries in the southwest region, their strength cannot be underestimated, if there is a war, even if one country wins, the price paid and the loss of economy are enough to make this country not as good as before, and even kicked out of the ten countries.

On the contrary, Qin Ming's purpose of developing the economy, making the people rich and the country strong will fight all the way, and he has the economic conditions to take care of the captured land, so he will only be stronger if he does not lose his national strength.

This is also the reason why after he Chu has such a large geographical area, he can immediately be included in the top ten strongest countries in the southwest.

"I didn't expect that the strength of my Chu State was recognized by the ten southwestern countries......"

Qin Ming sighed in his heart.

In his understanding, the strongest country in the southwest, the Han State is counted as one.

However, although the area of Chu and Han is almost the same, there must be a gap in overall strength.

But no matter what, everyone recognized the strength of Chu and invited Qin Ming, this Ten Nations Conference, Qin Ming really didn't want to participate.

Moreover, this meeting was held in the Han Kingdom, and Qin Ming had already been to the Han Kingdom, so there was nothing he would not dare to go.

Anyway, the trade routes of Chu and Han have made both countries very profitable, and the relationship between the two countries is okay, and there is nothing to go.

made a decision, Qin Ming saw that there were still ten days left, so he made some arrangements, and Xue Rengui served as the escort, with some entourage, with the specifications of the emperor's patrol, set off towards the Han Kingdom.

After all, the current state of Chu is a big country, and the emperor is out of the house, and the pomp and circumstance cannot be small.

Therefore, everywhere I passed, I knew that the Chu State was going to the Ten Nations Conference.

In the state of Chu, when the people saw Qin Ming, they spontaneously knelt down from afar, shouting Long live His Majesty the Emperor.

Qin Ming is still relatively happy, the people love him so much, which shows that everything he has paid is worth it and has helped everyone.

In this way, in the territory of Chu State, it took three days to reach the southwest border pass and enter the country.

To go to the Han Kingdom, you have to walk from the snack road, passing through the Wei Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, and the Zhao Kingdom.

When I arrived at the border pass, the pass of defending the country, the pass that was bombed here, was still under construction, but it was only for countless days. The merchants of Chu State are still passing back and forth.

After Qin Ming's dragon chariot arrived here, the merchants of the Chu State and the merchants of the Han State who came to the Chu State to do business knelt down and shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Chu......

Including the soldiers and soldiers at the Patriotic Pass, they all knelt down and shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor of Chu......"

Qin Ming nodded, looked at the thousands of merchants present, and said, "Dear merchants from Chu and other countries, this snack road is an important business road for rich countries, rich merchants, and rich people.

I hope that when you enter and leave Chu through here, you will understand that you are not only doing business, but also spreading friendship and culture between countries. Comrades, this road is very important. ”

Everyone nodded and looked at Qin Ming seriously,

Qin Ming stood on the dragon chariot and continued: "It is precisely because it is extremely important, so I have one. I hope that everyone will pay attention to it, promote commercial and trade transactions between countries, make it convenient for others and themselves, and make friends with business, enrich the people with business, and strengthen the country with business. ”

"Good ......"

Many businessmen applauded excitedly, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Everyone wrote down Qin Ming's words, and Qin Ming also told everyone seriously, these words, not to say, let everyone, don't just listen, we must listen carefully to the policy of the Chu court, implement the speech of Chu Emperor Qin Ming, adhere to the concept of developing a strong country on the snack road, and take the cultural output of the snack road and commerce and trade with various countries as the main strategic cooperation.

These important speeches were carefully recorded by the merchants.

In the end, in the warm applause, Qin Ming's dragon chariot entered the territory of the country.

Patriotic Palace.

When Emperor Wei heard the report, saying that Emperor Qin Ming of Chu had entered Wei Guo, Emperor Wei immediately ordered:

"Tell me to go down, where the Emperor of Chu passes, the local government will welcome and open the way, and present the best food hospitality from all over the place, and we must not slack off."

People are so realistic, some time ago, when the State of Chu was busy dealing with the battles of various countries, the country was very crazy, thinking that the State of Chu was lacking in skills, and there were a lot of things about themselves, and it was impossible to defend the country well, so he didn't care about the thieves and thieves.

It's different now, when I heard that Qin Ming was coming, I sent myself to open the way in person.
