The standing of the Han Kingdom also made other countries uncomfortable.

I thought to myself that your Han Kingdom is also one of the best in the Ten Kingdoms, why now, you still support others not to join the Ten Kingdoms.

However, at this time, it is useless for anyone to be dissatisfied, after all, if you are dissatisfied at this time, you may end up being beaten into a sieve.

Therefore, everyone did not speak, indicating silence.

It can be said that the 10-nation talks did not go well from the beginning, and the first meeting ended in silence and careful thinking.

In the evening of the same day, a feast was held in the palace of the Han Kingdom, and the emperors of the eleven countries, together with the relatives of the Han civil and military officials, enjoyed the singing and dancing performances, eating, drinking and having fun.

At the banquet, the ministers of the Han State were respectful to other emperors, and they were afraid of Qin Ming, the emperor of Chu State.

The reason is very simple, because a few months ago, the female emperor of the Han State invited Qin Ming here, and as a result, the civil strife in the Han State was terminated.

At that time, Qin Ming and the female emperor of the Han State stood together in the court of the Han Kingdom, and the majestic and domineering spirit that once suppressed the hundred officials was breathless, and now, they are also in awe of Qin Ming.

Sitting on the seat next to the female emperor, Qin Ming ate the dishes and said to the female emperor of the Han Kingdom:

"This water spinach is a seed from our Chu country, right?"

The female emperor of the Han Kingdom said: "Yes, there are too many kinds of dishes in your Chu Kingdom, many of them are particularly delicious, and our Han Kingdom has basically imported them, which has greatly improved the diet of our Han people, which is your snack road, and the benefits it brings." ”

Qin Ming smiled and said, "That's the contribution of the people of our Chu Kingdom, besides, didn't you earn the money of your Han Kingdom." ”

"Hehehe, by the way, I recently bought a batch of bicycles from your Chu country, but I always can't learn them!" The female emperor of the Han State was a little embarrassed.

"If you can't learn, just ride a tricycle, ahahahaha." Qin Ming laughed.

The female emperor of the Han Kingdom was speechless for a while, the two of them chatting here were happy, and the other emperors were playing their own games.

A few emperors ate the various snacks and delicacies on the table and asked what they were.

As soon as they inquired, they learned that they were snacks processed with some ingredients imported from the Chu State, and these emperors immediately became interested.

One of them opened his mouth and asked Qin Ming: "Emperor Chu, I heard that most of these delicious foods are imported from Chu State?" ”

Qin Ming thought to himself, the business came to the door, so he said: "Yes, my Chu country is a big agricultural country, there are many kinds of food, there are more types of snacks, and the Han country has the snack road This business road, therefore, the Han country will have so many kinds of new things." ”

"Snack Road ......" several countries listened carefully, and in the end, they all became interested.

The emperors of several countries also spoke, and they also hoped to open the snack road with the Chu State.

Qin Ming had no opinion on this, and said, "I, the Chu State, welcome cooperation with other countries. ”

However, the cold-faced emperor was upset, sneered, and said:

"Emperor Han, you are one of the ten countries, you should cooperate with our ten countries, how can you cooperate with others? Isn't this harming the interests of our other nine countries? ”

At this time, several other countries also reacted.

Indeed, among the ten nations, the greatest benefit is to maintain their status as ten nations.

However, if you want everyone to want to join, then you have to have benefits.

Therefore, the commerce and trade between the ten countries is also a very large interest group.

Now, so many things from the Han State are imported from the Chu State, isn't it, among the ten countries, the other nine countries have less cooperation with the Han State?

The female emperor of the Han Kingdom frowned, and she was speechless for a while.

The few emperors who wanted to cooperate with the Chu State were also silent.

Qin Ming smiled and didn't say anything.

The cold-faced emperor slowed down, but he still made a mistake.

He thought that if he just said that, the State of Chu would be impatient to join the Ten Kingdoms because it could not cooperate with a few big countries.

However, it didn't, Qin Ming looked very indifferent. It's as if the trade between these countries doesn't matter whether they want to or not.

Thinking of this, the cold-faced emperor couldn't hold his breath first, he thought that Qin Ming didn't realize that he could cooperate if he joined, so he reminded:

"However, it is not difficult to cooperate with the ten countries, if you join us, we are an interest group, so all cooperation can be carried out."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Ming and waited for Qin Ming's reply.

However, Qin Ming shook his head and said, "As for the way to join your Ten Kingdoms, I don't like it, and I don't approve of it, so it's not necessary!" ”

The cold-faced emperor frowned: "Do you think that joining the Ten Kingdoms has to kick out a big country, which is cruel?" ”

Qin Ming said: "No, I think it's very mentally retarded!" ”

"Mentally retarded?" The cold-faced emperor and the other emperors all looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming said: "It's not just mentally retarded, it's just ridiculous." ”

"Why do you say that?" The cold-faced emperor was angry, and several other emperors also had bad faces.

The cold-faced emperor continued: "The alliance of the Ten Kingdoms has been around for hundreds of years, and although the pattern has changed, occasionally some countries have been kicked out and new ones have joined.

However, we have to admit that those who enter the ten countries can basically guarantee their interests and status, and this is the meaning of the ten countries, so that the pattern of great powers in the southwest has never changed greatly.

And now, you actually say that this alliance and pattern of ours is mentally retarded? Boy, you're young and ignorant, and I can understand it, but you have to remember not to be too crazy! ”

Qin Ming snorted disdainfully and said, "Still pattern? What pattern? It's to form a ten-nation alliance, maintain your own level, and suppress countries that are likely to surpass you, and this is your pattern?

If that's the case, then I'm sorry, I'm still saying that, your pattern is too small, and it's very mentally retarded, and it's funny. ”

"You, why do you say that?" The cold-faced emperor scolded!

Qin Ming stood up abruptly and said, "Do you want to listen?" Okay, I'll tell you about it today. First of all, your alliance of ten nations is indeed the strongest ten nations in the southwest.

But without your alliance, there would be more powerful nations in the Southwest. Perhaps it is the nations of you. And now, has the strength of your countries not been improved basically?

The reason is very simple, the alliance of ten countries makes you feel that you have suppressed those countries that want to surpass you, but as everyone knows, it is also a cocoon that binds yourself and restricts yourself! ”

These words faintly made everyone seem to have an epiphany, but there was no epiphany.

And Qin Ming continued: "It's like my Chu State, if I grow up normally, I will definitely surpass you." And if you are prepared for danger in times of peace, and you don't want the Chu State to surpass you, so you each work hard to develop your national strength, then whether our Chu State can surpass you, you will definitely be stronger.

But you just want to build a ten-nation alliance, ostensibly win-win cooperation, but in fact use force to prevent a powerful country from surpassing you, and you have always been like this, not thinking of forging ahead, relying on the elimination of potential stocks, to achieve your so-called great power, isn't it a stupid act? ”
