If Xia Huan's proposal only made Emperor Qi frown, then for those small and medium-sized families in the court, their faces changed.

Qi despises businessmen, but no one doesn't like money.

The big family can rely on the power in their hands to directly monopolize the goods from the Chu State. However, for these small families, in addition to picking up leaks, they can only make some articles from tolls.

However, now Xia Huan's proposal is tantamount to infringing on their interests.

The person who originally hoped to befriend this Chu envoy suddenly looked at Xia Huan's gaze, and he was a little unkind.

"Your Majesty, businessman, valuing profit over righteousness, and not adding it with miscellaneous taxes, I am afraid that it will become a big disaster for my Qi country in the future."

Just when Emperor Qi was thinking about the pros and cons, someone had already jumped out.

Emperor Qi was stunned for a moment, looked at His Royal Highness's people, and only felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember who it was.

However, this person's words were quickly widely approved. All of a sudden, the court was full of opponents.

Emperor Qi looked at Kuai Mu with some embarrassment, with a bit of inquiry.

These people, if they were on weekdays, I am afraid that a light cough would be enough to silence them.

However, now is the time when there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.

In particular, now it seems that the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military equipment are all opposed, which makes Emperor Qi and Kuai Mu unable to speak.

Above the court, there has always been no shortage of people who feel good about themselves.

Especially in the case of the "boiling" of the Manchu Dynasty, even Emperor Qi and Kuai Xiang could not face their edge, which fueled their arrogance.

Immediately, someone shouted, "Humph! The State of Chu sent a childish man over, obviously to deceive me and no one in the Qi State. Your Majesty, please take this person down, and you will definitely seek justice from Emperor Chu! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Take him!"

For a while, Xia Huan seemed to have become the target of everyone.

Xia Huan's identity, Emperor Qi obviously knows. And the reaction of those ministers was indeed beyond Emperor Qi's expectations.

However, just as Kuai Mu was about to speak, Emperor Qi suddenly gave Kuai Mu a look. Motioned to Kuai Mu to be silent.

Xia Huan's conditions are actually harmless to the royal family and the big family. Even, even if Emperor Qi agreed, those small families would not sprinkle all their grievances on Emperor Qi.

Therefore, Emperor Qi at this time was not in a hurry. On the contrary, he looked at Xia Huan with considerable interest, wanting to see how this prince of Chu would react.

Xia Huan looked around and didn't seem surprised. Even if it was a person above the court, the foul language was extremely ugly, but it did not affect him.

"I don't know Your Majesty Emperor Qi, what do you think?"

Xia Huan arched his hand again at Emperor Qi above the main hall, as if he hadn't heard those shouts, and kicked the contradiction at Emperor Qi's feet again.

Emperor Qi raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, up and down the court, everyone once again set their eyes on him.

"Taxation is the foundation of the country and cannot be easily shaken. I don't know if Chu Envoy has other ideas? After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Qi finally shook his head.

Listening to Emperor Qi's words, many courtiers breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Emperor Qi would not be able to withstand the pressure of the Chu State, so they agreed.

"Since this is the case, then please ask His Majesty the Emperor of Qi to agree, and the State of Chu will open a workshop in the Qi country." Xia Huan said almost without any hesitation.

"Open a workshop?"

Emperor Qi was stunned for a moment, and the courtiers below were stunned for a moment, and their hearts suddenly became ecstatic.

The reason why things in Chu are so expensive is that in addition to the many taxes along the way, there are also monopoly reasons.

The papermaking technology of Chu is good, whether it is Han or Qi, you can find out a little, although the quality is not as good as that of Chu, but it can also be used.

Only the porcelain-making technology has always been well protected by the Chu State, and has been limited to the upper range of the Chu State.

Even those porcelain craftsmen are under the strict control of the government.

Porcelain, in fact, is the real business leader of the Chu State.

If the Chu people can set up the workshop in the Qi country, then at that time, these things will not all be their Qi people.

Even if these small and medium-sized families can't get the technology of porcelain-making, they can make a lot of money by sharing some soup.

Emperor Qi couldn't help but glance at Kuai Mu again, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be beneficial to the Qi State.

Could it be that now that the battle has been lost, instead of losses, there are benefits?

Not only Emperor Qi was puzzled, but even Kuai Mu was also surprised.

Before, when they talked about the conditions, Xia Huan just said that he would ask for some benefits on top of the business road.

Therefore, at that time, Kuai Mu agreed.

Even if Xia Huan insisted on the previous conditions, Kuai Mu would not be unacceptable.

After all, that money has little to do with the treasury, and it has little to do with him personally.

"How, Your Majesty thinks, what about this condition?" Looking at the somewhat noisy courtiers, Xia Huan asked Emperor Qi again.

"Accurate!"

Since Xia Huan was so insistent, Emperor Qi naturally would not push away the benefits that were handed over to him.

It's just that although Emperor Qi agreed, his eyes kept a suspicious look.

However, Xia Huan has always maintained a polite appearance, which makes it really difficult for Emperor Qi to find any flaws.

The main conditions have been met, and the rest will be discussed.

Moreover, the courtiers who originally looked at Xia Huan a little unpleasantly, looked at Xia Huan differently at this time.

Where is the envoy of the Chu State, it is clearly a stupid fat sheep.

……

Returning to the post house, he hurriedly wrote a letter and handed it to a palace guard, asking him to quickly bring it back to the state of Chu.

Shen Shen's neck, a letter, Xia Huan thanked him for most of the hour.

No way, there are so many things that need to be explained. Not only the role of these workshops, but also the pros and cons of the national level, need to be clearly stated.

Everything he talked about with Emperor Qi today, even everything he talked about secretly with Kuai Mu, if he didn't get the support of Emperor Xia Ze of Chu, then everything would be empty talk.

As for whether those unacceptable words could be accepted by Emperor Chu, Xia Huan was not worried at all.

Not to mention that Xia Ze is a person who is good at accepting advice and accepting new things. Just from the fact that his grandfather is also a time-traveler, he can also guess that Xia Ze's thinking will more or less surpass that of contemporary people.

Next, Xia Huan still needs to stay in Qi Country for a few days.

On the one hand, it is necessary to wait for the reply from the Emperor of Chu and complete the contract with the State of Qi. On the one hand, it is also necessary to supervise Qi Guo, whether there will be some small actions.

Moreover, Xia Huan believed that without the support of the Qi State, although the strength of the Han army would not have much impact, the morale would definitely plummet.

Even, with a little benefit, Xu Qizhao could also attack the Han State from the north bank of the Yellow River.

Xia Huan, who was in a good mood, put down the pen, looked at the time and saw that it was still early, and couldn't help but say to Sun Qian: "Go, follow me to the street and take a look at the style of this thousand-year-old capital of Qi." ”
