Under Qin Ming's order, the entourage of the Yuan State was erected by the Praetorian Guard.

The prince of the Yuan Kingdom's face changed, looked at Qin Ming and said, "Emperor Chu, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to treat my Yuan State envoy like this, right?" ”

"The envoy of the Yuan Kingdom, Yu Zhen is disrespectful, he confronts me in public, and even with ridicule, the crime should be punished, no need to say more, drag it out!"

Qin Ming's voice fell, and the Praetorian Guard directly dragged the minister of the Yuan Kingdom who had just confronted Qin Ming, went outside, and beheaded the public.

This made the prince of the Yuan Kingdom very unhappy, but he also saw Qin Ming's decisiveness in killing, which made the envoys of the two countries present worried, and they didn't dare to say anything wrong.

Recently, the envoys of the two countries are a little too crazy, and now they have given them a dismount and extinguished their arrogance.

In the court, he fell into depression for a while.

The atmosphere that Qin Ming wanted was finally there, and then it was time to really talk about things.

Just now, the two countries took themselves too seriously, so they didn't take Chu State seriously, so the requirements they put forward were very excessive.

Now, Qin Ming has seized the initiative, sat on it, looked at the princes of the two countries and said:

"I, the country of Chu, have never been afraid of the enemy, if you want to fight the enemy, then in the near future, it will be war!"

The prince of the Half Moon Kingdom and the prince of the Yuan Kingdom frowned slightly, fighting? It's so easy to say, but once the fight starts, the losses are huge.

The prince of the Half Moon Kingdom took a deep breath, the reason why he came to the Chu Kingdom this time to promote cooperation and get a large number of books was not to give the Royal Family of the Half Moon Kingdom a possibility and opportunity?

Where in the world is there no shortage of books?

Now everyone in the surrounding area knows that Chu has the ability to make a large number of paper and print books, so the only way is to obtain it from Chu.

Once they get a large number of books, they also have the strength to fight against the family that monopolizes books in the country for half a month.

However, if the talks fail, not only will the book not be obtained, but the relations between the two countries will deteriorate, which is not a good thing.

Although the state of Chu had just risen and became one of the fifty states in the southwest, in a short period of time, the state of Chu could annex six countries with minimal losses on its own, which is enough to show that the state of Chu is warlike and powerful.

Such an enemy, on the surface, the Yuan Kingdom and the Half Moon Kingdom do not look down on it, but do they really dare to fight?

The prince of the Half Moon Kingdom is very aware of his father's expectations for bringing back a large number of books, if he can't do it, but has a bad relationship with the Chu State, then let alone inherit the throne, he may be punished or even locked up by the prince of the Half Moon Kingdom.

Similarly, the prince of the Yuan Kingdom also has the same worries as the prince of the Half Moon Kingdom.

In this matter, the two of them broke their heads among the princes and grabbed the opportunity, so they came.

If it is done well, it is not impossible to become the prince, and if it is not done well, it is impossible to have the opportunity to be the prince in his life.

Thinking of this, they also realized the seriousness of the problem.

The white-clothed prince of the Yuan Kingdom bowed to Qin Ming: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, just now a bastard under my hand was rude to you, and he deserved it if he killed him."

I still hope that our two countries can get along, otherwise, I would not have brought my sister to your majesty. Therefore, please don't want your majesty to live or die, we can talk about cooperation. ”

The prince of the Half Moon Kingdom also nodded and said, "Yes...... Cooperation can be discussed, you don't want satin cloth, we can change to something else. ”

Qin Ming sneered: "Talk? Hehe, I'll make it clear to you, this paper and books, we only sell them in Chu State. Do you understand? ”

The prince of the Half Moon Kingdom said: "Then, what is the price?" ”

Qin Ming said: "With a 20% discount, the market is generally five taels of silver for a book, and I collect four taels for a book." The paper is also 20% off! ”

This market, that is, according to the market price of other countries, the market price of books in Chu State today is less than one or two silver.

Because the paper printing hall of Chu State publishes too many books every day, which is enough for all parts of the country, the price will naturally come down slowly.

But for other countries, books are still extremely expensive, and there is nowhere to buy them even if they have money.

The prince of Banyue Kingdom felt distressed at first, but he calculated an account in his heart, so he bought these books back at the price of four taels of silver a piece, and there would be a large number of people who bought them at the normal price of five taels of silver, because this book has a price and no market.

In this way, the imperial court can still make a wave, and many people can still study.

In this way, it won't be too much of a loss, right?

Of course, compared with what they thought at the beginning, bartering and exchanging silk and satin cloth would indeed not take advantage.

However, it is obviously impossible to take advantage of Qin Ming.

Therefore, now I can only compromise like Qin Ming, and like Xicangguo, I can buy books from Chu State at a 20% discount.

The prince of the Half Moon Kingdom bowed: "In this way, it is okay, I will write to my father, if he also agrees, he will send someone to send silver, and we will take as many books as we want." Also, can we decide on the type of book? ”

Qin Ming nodded: "Of course you can, whatever book you want, take a sample, and you can get it out as much as you want." ”

The prince of the Half Moon Kingdom smiled and nodded: "So good!" ”

Beside him, the young lady of Wuji Palace also looked at Qin Ming, and was shocked in her heart, this young man who was a few years younger than her was really both civil and military.

On the other side, the prince of the Yuan State was also anxious when he saw that the Banyue Kingdom had reached a cooperation with the Chu State.

Compared with the idea of taking advantage of the Half Moon Kingdom at the beginning, he Yuan Guo is a bit of a bandit, after all, what he asked for in Chu Guo was not books and papers, but technology.

Now, the State of Chu must be very unhappy with his Yuan Kingdom, so the prince of the Yuan State is also extremely nervous, but after thinking about it, he has to compromise with Qin Ming, so he also said:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Chu, the conditions proposed by my Yuan Kingdom before really didn't take it into consideration, but now, I think about it, and like the Half Moon Kingdom, I only buy books."

Qin Ming sneered: "It's good to understand, since that's the case, you each go and decide what books to buy, how much to buy, these things, just communicate with my Chu State Household Department, don't bother me anymore!" ”

The princes of the two countries bowed one after another, and then they took the people away.

Looking at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Qin Ming rubbed his forehead and said, "During this time, I haven't asked, how is the management of the several countries under my rule?" ”

Immediately, some ministers reported the situation one after another.

On the other side, the princes of the two countries left the palace and returned to the Sifang Pavilion.

The prince of the Yuan Kingdom and several ministers were in a room, and everyone was sad.

"Your Highness, what Your Majesty means, if you want to get papermaking and printing, let's just buy books and go back, I'm afraid it's not appropriate......" A minister spoke.

The prince of the Yuan Kingdom nodded: "I know, this time, the dispute with the crown prince depends on whether this matter can be completed, but unfortunately, the Chu Emperor is unwilling to compromise......"

Another minister asked, "What do we do then?" ”

The prince of the Yuan Kingdom squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Steal technology!" ”
