"My Qi country is the richest country in the world, do you think 10 million taels of gold can let me see it?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Huang Xie and asked.

"Qi is the richest country in the world, the king of Qi is the richest person in the world, 10 million gold, not much for Qi country, but for my Chu country, it is a very heavy value, this is also my Chu country in order to give a sincere explanation to the king of Qi!" Huang Xie looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Qi Xiaobai looked at Huang Xie and said, "I heard that Chu is rich in peppercorns and tea!" ”

Huang Xie nodded: "That's right!" ”

"I want 10,000 catties of peppercorns and 5,000 catties of tea!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Huang Xie and said.

Tea and peppercorns are the fastest-selling things in the trade, and their value is extraordinary, Huang Xie knows, but now the entire ocean of the empire is monopolized by Qi merchants.

If the people of Chu want to sell tea and peppercorns, they generally have to go through the hands of Qi merchants, of course, if they don't want to, they go to Song merchants.

Although the Song State does not have the ocean, but there are many people, they can sell it to maritime merchants for you, of course, there have been merchants in the Chu State, but the Chu State does not attach importance to the ocean, and the goal has always been the Central Plains.

Therefore, people with business acumen have all immigrated to Qi State, from Chu merchants to Qi merchants, of course, there are also some people, although the sea and land cannot go, but they can go inland, go inland themselves, transport to Qi country, and sell to Qi merchants who have ships.

Of course, as for them wanting to buy a ship and go it alone, it is impossible, because Qi prohibits non-Qi people from using ships and trading, which is a kind of maritime monopoly of Qi State.

As for the Chu State, they also thought about building a navy, but the navy they built was often attacked and defeated by pirates, and the navy was a very money-burning thing, and the goal of the Chu State was the Central Plains, so it gave up this thing over time.

If it weren't for Qi Xiaobai being a traverser and knowing the importance of the ocean, he would not have developed the navy, among the princes, the navy was a chicken help, but here in Qi Xiaobai, little by little it was not a chicken help, but a very valuable thing.

But now it is impossible for Chu to develop a navy, because the navy of Qi has risen, and they have a monopoly on the sea, you stab you when you are an ally of Qi, you are not allies, and Qi can attack you in the ocean.

Moreover, if you are wiped out on the ocean, it is basically the whole army destroyed, and after the Chu State learns the news, it can only be determined that it was the pirates who eliminated your navy.

And the actual situation was wiped out by the Qi country.

And the amount of tea and pepper that Qi Xiaobai asked for is actually quite huge, but this is something that Chu can take.

Huang Xie also didn't expect Qi Xiaobai to ask for these things, he originally wanted to give the Qi State gold, with the help of peppercorns and tea, to restore the economy of the Chu State.

However, once the pepper and tea are given to the Qi State, then the economic recovery of the Chu State will have to wait for a while.

At least for two years, troops cannot be used, but the State of Qi has just experienced the Four Kingdoms Invasion of Chu, and it does not need troops in the reconstruction stage, but reconstruction also requires money.

However, looking at Qi Xiaobai's appearance, he knew that this was Qi Xiaobai's bottom line, if he didn't agree, the war would not break out, but he couldn't get the Qi Chu Peace Agreement.

Although the purpose of this trip was to destroy Qi as an ally, nominally to rescue those insignificant Xiong members, the actual purpose was to sign a non-aggression pact with Qi.

Only with this treaty can he get a proper opportunity for development, so that he can slowly become strong and prosperous again, and once again come to the position of competing for hegemony.

With those few inconsequential Xiong family members, it is not worth this money, Qi Xiaobai will kill if he wants, but this non-aggression pact is worth it.

Of course, this treaty may be torn up by the Qi State, but as long as he can maintain it for a year, it will be enough for the Chu State.

And after the Qi State signed the treaty, after getting the money, it is unlikely that he will immediately turn his face, otherwise who will dare to sign a treaty for you in the future? If you sign a treaty and turn your face, aren't you a big country almost like a ruffian?

"Lord Huang, if you think about it carefully, this king's requirements are not high, I am not guilty of the disappearance of the crown prince, and I will also let go of your Xiong clan's clansmen, and I will also sign a two-year non-aggression pact with you!" Qi Xiaobai said to Huang Xie.

Huang Xie pondered for a while, then looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Okay, King Qi Huan, I will sign such a treaty with King Qi Huan, and I hope King Qi Huan will keep his word!" ”

"The proudest thing in my life, Qi Xiaobai, is to keep my word, not to mention that you have no jokes!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Huang Xie and said.

Huang Xie agreed to Qi Xiaobai's request, for the Chu State, these things are something they can bear, and for the Qi State, this is what they want.

As for the two-year non-aggression pact, Qi could also agree to it, because Qi did not want to go to war with Chu, and their real target was Song.

For the Qi State, they wanted to swallow the Song Dynasty, and for the Chu State, they wanted to rest and rebuild their homeland.

Of course, two years later, the state of Chu will become strong, and the state of Qi will miss the best opportunity to strike the state of Chu, but within two years, the state of Qi will destroy the state of Song, even if the state of Chu becomes strong, so what? When the time comes, I am afraid that it will not be the enemy of his Qi country in a war.

Moreover, the peace treaty is also very beneficial to the Qi State, once it triggers the joint attack of the Qi countries, the Chu State may not attack the Qi State because of the treaty.

Of course, it is also possible if the State of Chu gives up this excellent opportunity, but once it is ready to swallow the Song Dynasty, then the State of Qi must also be completely prepared and ready to usher in the unity of all countries.

Subsequently, Qi Xiaobai asked Shusun Tong to draw up two agreements, one was the Qi and Chu non-aggression agreement, the statute of limitations was two years, and within two years, Qi and Chu could not wage war against each other.

Once the agreement is violated, the princes of the world will be punished, and the other is the compensation given by the State of Qi because the crown prince disappeared in the State of Chu.

Although it is this compensation on the surface, everyone knows that this is a peace agreement that the Chu State spent money to buy.

In fact, if Qi and Chu had not broken the alliance, the state of Chu could develop peacefully within two years, but the king of Chu gave up this opportunity because of Gongsun Long's lobbying, which was also a helpless situation for Wu Qi.

He wanted to finish this war and develop the Chu State with the help of the Qi-Chu Alliance, but the King of Chu Mourning destroyed the Qi-Chu Alliance.

This paved the way for the future of the Chu state, and Wu Qi had to send people to ask the king of Chu to sign a non-aggression pact with the king of Qi Huan to ensure that the state of Qi would not attack the state of Chu.

As long as the Qi State does not attack the Chu State, the rest of the countries will not attack the Chu State.
