Chapter 459 Want to drive away tigers and wolves?I'm afraid you're thinking too much

The next morning, Weiyang Palace.

Cao Chao asked Zhu Ying, Feng Quji, Wuming, the old patriarch, Liu Paopao, and Sun Shiwan to discuss the matter together.

After everyone arrived, a big news was thrown out immediately.

"Yesterday afternoon, the envoy of Chu State came to meet with the widow, promised to provide food and grass for our army, and asked the big man to send troops to help on the condition of ceding the two counties of Changsha and Jiujiang.

"The widow has already agreed."

After everyone listened, they looked at each other, as if in a dream.

This sounds a little unreliable.

That's a full half of the territory of the Chu Kingdom. If it is ceded like this, can the King of Chu agree?

However, Cao Chao had already seen everyone's expressions, and he guessed what these people were thinking at once.

So he slowly took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Ying.

"This is the letter of credence signed by Chu envoy Xiong Qi yesterday, you can take a look."

Everyone gathered together and looked down.

Sure enough, it was written in black and white that Xiong Qi asked Han to lend a helping hand on behalf of Chu.

As long as the big man is willing to send troops, Chu State will be responsible for all the food and grass for the army.

In the future, as long as the Han army can repel the rebels and break the siege of Shouchun, Chu State will cede Changsha and Jiujiang counties to Han State as a reward.

"This……"

After reading it, everyone was completely petrified.

I didn't expect this to be true.

This is too outrageous, how did the king do it?

However, before they could react, Cao Chao continued:

"Earlier this morning, the envoy of Chu left Chengdu and returned to Chu with his credentials.

"The widow has also made a promise. As long as the widow receives the official letter of credence signed and printed by the king of Chu, the big man will send troops immediately, and there will be no delay."

"This……"

Everyone looked at Cao Chao with incredible expressions in their eyes.

I still remember the way Xiong Qi bit him to death in the main hall and didn't let go.

However, after only half a day, there was such a big change in attitude that he was willing to cede half of the territory.

If there is no king operating inside, no one would believe it!

But what exactly did the king do here, what role did the king play, and everyone couldn't figure it out for a while.

I can only say one thing,

The king is awesome!

But those present are all smart people, knowing that this matter is not that simple.

After all, although the credential has a certain effect.

But if the other party is really shameless, this thing will be useless.

However, at this moment, it was the time when the king was most proud.

All the ministers look at me and I look at you. For a while, no one is willing to stand up to persuade and do that disappointing thing.

In the end, it was Wuming who was the most upright and stood up first.

"I think this matter is not that simple. Your Majesty still needs to be careful to prevent the other party from cheating."

With Wuming taking the lead, Zhu Ying stood up and echoed:

"I think this may be Chu's plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves.

"I just hope that the big man and Lord Chunshen will lose both sides in a fight, and the people of Chu will stand by and enjoy the benefits."

The old patriarch also stood up and said:

"And if the Chu people control the food and grass of our army, once they run out of food in the future, the army will be in danger of overthrowing at any time."

After hearing this, Cao Chao didn't get angry, instead he nodded with a smile.

"Don't worry, dear ministers, what you think of, the widow has already thought it through.

"I just need to wait like this... Chu people can't help me wait"

"Wonderful! This plan is great!"

"Sure enough, a clever plan!"

"The king is awesome!"

Chapter 460 The Advent of Arabic Numerals

After finishing the business, Cao Chao rushed to the chamber of commerce without stopping.

Half a month has passed, and he wants to see how the chamber of commerce is doing.

After all, this involves his private coffers.

……

After a slight tilt, the carriage stopped near a bustling downtown.

Under Feng Quji's proposal, the big man canceled the city gate tax and curfew.

Residents are allowed to set up stalls privately without hindering the road, so the handicraft industry and commerce of Dahan are particularly prosperous.

The streets and alleys in the city are filled with vendors of all sizes every day, and there is an endless stream of hawking.

Although it is a bit noisy, it has a strong atmosphere of life.

The Chamber of Commerce in Shudi is located in the middle of such a busy city.

After getting off the carriage, Cao Chao looked up.

The chamber of commerce building is four stories high, only slightly shorter than the royal palace.

Not bad, quite stylish!

Nodding in satisfaction, Cao Chao raised his leg and walked inside.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he was recognized by the guards and quickly invited him in.

As the president, although Cao Chao didn't care about things, Qin Qing always reserved the largest room on the top floor for him as the president's office.

Stepping in slowly, Cao Chao pushed open the window and found that he could overlook half of the city of Chengdu, and felt refreshed.

For a while, his favor towards Qin Qing increased a lot.

Not bad, not bad!

It seems that Qin Qing is a pretty reliable woman.

Both able and capable!

As a result, as soon as the white figure appeared in his mind, the door was pushed open.

Qin Qing was coming in with tea.

Women today are still dressed as widows.

The white Ru skirt, with a bunch of white silk tied around the waist, made her figure even more graceful.

Especially the bulge on the chest, which is a size larger than Qinyue's by visual inspection, and she walks tremblingly.

However, the dignified and reserved face reminded all men all the time that this woman is not a casual person.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Even if there is no one around, Qin Qing still abides by etiquette.

After all, others don't know, but she knows the identity of the person in front of her very clearly.

This is the entire city of Chengdu, the actual controller of the entire Han Kingdom, and the king here.

One word can end the existence of tens of millions of people.

"No need to be polite."

Cao Chao just glanced at the pretty widow, then looked away.

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip, he showed a gentle smile.

"Thank you king."

Unexpectedly, the other party was so easy-going, Qin Qing's impression of Cao Chao improved a bit.

He is in a high position, yet he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he doesn't even have airs.

Such a man is rare in the world.

Moreover, although this great king is young, handsome, talented, and gentle, he does not have the arrogance of a young man. Instead, he gives people a very stable feeling and a full sense of security.

It's no wonder that looking at the appearance of my best friend recently, she seems to be ten years younger.

Can you be happy to marry such a man?

Thinking of this, Qin Qing couldn't help feeling flustered, and couldn't help but sneak another glance at Cao Chao

God!

What am I thinking.

He is the husband of his best girlfriend.

When she found that the other party was drinking tea intently, her heart finally relaxed.

However, for some reason, there was a sense of depression and loss in my heart.
