After getting married, Qin Ming was bent on strengthening the country and enriching the people, and he hardly cared much about some things in other countries.

And now the state of Chu is strong enough, and it is absolutely impossible for the surrounding countries to provoke, as long as the state of Chu does not attack others, other countries can be regarded as burning high incense.

Therefore, in this case, the state of Chu has no foreign enemies and can go all out to develop its national strength.

In addition, some trade exchanges between the ten countries and other countries were also very smooth, resulting in the rapid industrial development of the Chu State.

Because during this time, Qin Ming not only vigorously developed bicycles, tricycles and other means of transportation, but also made some very practical modern chairs and a large number of iron pots.

These are some of the daily necessities that are commonly used.

Especially in an iron pot, it is much better to stir-fry in an iron pot than to cook in a copper pot.

Anyway, the state of Chu has a lethal weapon like a bomb, so there is no need to continue to control iron tools.

Therefore, a large number of various iron tools were produced and sold for export.

Other countries are crazy about acquisitions, because whether it is this iron pot or other iron tools, it is very important for other countries, some of them are bought as tools, and some are stored to make weapons.

In addition to these daily necessities, in the snack area, Qin Ming also continued to use his brain.

In addition to making more patterns such as cake skewers, I also started to make spicy sticks, as well as various potato chips and shrimp crackers.

These snacks are also very popular.

As a result, there are more and more industries in the Chu State, and almost everyone can find a suitable job and then make money to support their families.

Gradually, there were many more factories in the state of Chu, some of which were officially managed, and some of which were run by the people themselves.

What are the things, such as salt and iron, which are managed and made by the government, and some snacks and furniture are usually made by the people themselves.

Moreover, Qin Ming also made a rule that whether it is a factory managed by the imperial court or a factory run by the people themselves, there must be one day off a week, and this day is Sunday.

When encountering some special festivals in the Chu State, there must also be corresponding holidays.

Driven by these rules and regulations, the lives of the people of Chu became more and more modern.

And Qin Ming, the emperor, is more and more loved by the people among the people.

The reason is very simple, just because Qin Ming has only been the emperor for more than a year, he has already raised the lives of the people to such a point, and it is unimaginable what kind of situation it will be in the future.

Therefore the people do not love him, but who do they love?

There is no doubt that the life of the people of Chu is very desirable to other countries, so gradually there is such a group of people who are similar to immigrants, who came to Chu from other countries, and then tried every means to obtain the household registration of Chu.

Therefore, the population of Chu is slowly increasing invisibly every day, but fortunately, there are many things in Chu today, and there will be no bad situation because of too much population.

Time passed quickly, nearly half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past six months, Qin Ming has successively done some tasks and received some systematic rewards.

The strength has also improved from the original six grades to the current seven grades, and he can be regarded as a seven-grade master.

Everything is still going on as usual, and nothing bad has happened in the past six months.

However, because the state of Chu has developed too rapidly in the past six months, now, to some extent, it seems to have surpassed the ten countries in the southwest.

Although the Ten Kingdoms don't want to admit it, the development of the Chu State in the past half a year is obvious to all, which makes the Ten Kingdoms very envious, and even some countries are still very jealous, including the Ice Country.

Because the emperor of this ice country had a conflict with Qin Ming from the beginning, he had developed very well in the Chu country, but he was still not satisfied.

At the beginning, the Ice State had instigated other countries to negotiate with the Chu State, wanting to increase their countries' taxes on merchants and make the Chu State lower its own taxes.

Qin Ming didn't agree, and that matter ended in failure.

But in half a year, the emperor of the Ice Kingdom became more and more jealous of the Chu State.

Because the Chu State has developed too fast, the sum of their ten kingdoms cannot be compared.

So, on a cold winter's day, the Emperor of the Ice Kingdom gathered the emperors of several other countries in the Ten Kingdoms and began to discuss the issue together.

He didn't call Han and several other countries, because he knew that the female emperor of Han and Qin Ming were on the same front, and several other countries also had good relations with Chu.

Therefore, the Ice Kingdom only invited, and it seemed that they were not very satisfied with the rapid development of the Chu State.

In a warm hall in the Ice Country, the Ice Emperor looked at the other emperors below and said:

"Well, everyone, in the past half a year or so, although good progress has been made in the cooperation between our countries and the Chu State, our countries have also achieved strong development.

But there is no doubt that Chu Guo is the real beneficiary of our cooperation, and his interests are dozens of times that of ours, I want to ask everyone here, are you really willing to make a wedding dress for Chu Guotu? ”

Several emperors looked at each other, and one of them said:

"We are all very clear about this problem, but the state of Chu has indeed driven our development, greatly improving our economic strength and people's lives.

But this kind of promotion is undoubtedly helping the Chu State and making the Chu State stronger. This does make me feel a little, uncomfortable. ”

The other emperors could also nod their heads, and the Ice Emperor smiled and said:

"Since everyone feels this way, then we should think of a countermeasure. We can't use the cooperation between everyone to greatly help the Chu State to improve, and we only take a small profit. ”

The other emperors all looked at the Ice Emperor, waiting for his next words.

The Emperor of the Ice Kingdom stood up and said with a serious expression:

"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, not only the economy, but also the military of Chu is already very strong, as long as this continues, it is only a matter of time before Chu becomes the largest country in the southwest.

And it will far surpass us, is that what we want to see? I don't think you want to see that happen, do you? ”

The other emperors shook their heads one after another, obviously they were not willing to let the Chu State become a powerful existence.

The Ice Emperor smiled with satisfaction and continued:

"Therefore, I have a bold idea, that is, to destroy the state of Chu, only by destroying the state of Chu, can we obtain real benefits.

Only by destroying the state of Chu can we maximize the economy, and there will never be a threat of Qin Ming again. ”
