Chapter 575: The Headache of the King of Chu

The King of Chu had just finished attending the morning court and returned to the harem with a frown on his face. The Queen invited the King of Chu to go for a walk in the back mountain.

"Why is your Majesty unhappy today? Recently, a batch of sky blue whale meat has arrived from Huaxia. Your Majesty will have a good time at noon. Remember that the sky blue whale also came from Huaxia last time? It is hard to forget the taste once you have tasted it." The Queen of Chu took the King of Chu's arm and said to him.

"I am worried about Huaxia!" said the King of Chu.

"Why is your Majesty so? Seven years ago, when the King of Qin was defeated by the King of Huaxia, there have been rumors in Chu that Chu will soon be occupied by Huaxia. This rumor has spread to this day, and no Chinese soldier has been seen entering our Chu.

Your Majesty, don't worry too much and don't listen to the words of the King of Qin. I think it is the right way for us to do business with Huaxia normally. The lives of the people of Chu have become more and more difficult in recent years!" The Queen of Chu sighed.

"You don't know that Huaxia is now almost as powerful as the Great Zhou Dynasty ten thousand years ago, and Hua Kai is the world's number one saint, with four holy books and nearly a hundred masterpieces. His future achievements... are hard to predict!

If our Chu country continues to get close to Huaxia, it will inevitably be assimilated by Huaxia and occupied by Huaxia in the future, leaving nothing behind." King Chu said.

The Queen of Chu didn't say anything when she heard this, and motioned the King of Chu to continue.

"But now I'm in a panic! Huaxia has cancelled all the mountains on the border. Many people in Chu are so hungry that they have no choice but to go to Huaxia. We don't have extra food to help the people, so we can't stop them from leaving Chu.

In this way, our Chu country is getting weaker and weaker. In the past few years, Huaxia has occupied all the intermediate buffer areas that we have abandoned. Various merchants smuggled into Chu. The more we ban Huaxia merchants, the more Huaxia merchants there are. Now even Yingdu is full of Huaxia goods. These noble families don't take me seriously at all, just like those Huaxia merchants." King Chu said angrily.

"Your Majesty, what will happen if we punish the noble families?" asked the Queen of Chu.

"The noble families think that I have cut off their financial resources. They don't say anything on the surface, but they are against me behind my back. Some of them will quietly flee to Huaxia." said the King of Chu.

"What if we deal with those Huaxia merchants?" asked the Queen of Chu again.

"The people of Chu have cut off Huaxia's goods. The noble families will tell them that all this is my responsibility. If those Huaxia merchants resist, we kill the Huaxia people, and Huaxia may send troops to capture Chu." said the King of Chu.

"Then if we go to war, what is the chance of winning?" asked the Queen of Chu.

"There is no chance of winning. Huaxia has eight people in the Jindan realm, and the elite army is not something that Chu can resist. Chu has no possibility of resisting. Even if Qin keeps its promise and borrows troops from the Qiang to attack Huaxia together, the chance of winning is less than half." said the King of Chu.

"Then what are you waiting for?" asked the Queen of Chu again.

The King of Chu didn't know how to answer. What was he waiting for? Wait for Huaxia to fall? Or wait for Qin Zheng to break through the realm of transformation and kill Hua Kai, so that he can reap the benefits?

All this is simply a fantasy, but he still listened to Qin Zheng's words, because he was unwilling to see Chu fall, and Huaxia would eventually unify the world.

"Today, Huaxia merchants came to Yingdu, and the people were all happy. All the concubines, maids, and eunuchs in the palace were also very happy. The streets were much more lively than usual.

Only you, the king, are not happy. I know that the king may say that others don't know, but are you really the only one in Chu who knows how Chu should go?" The words of the Queen of Chu began to have a strange taste.

The influence of the Chu family in the entire Chu State has been getting smaller and smaller in recent years. Now the Chu family actually controls less than a county. Today, Huaxia merchants came to Yingdu and made a fuss, even though the King of Chu had strictly ordered not to trade with Huaxia.

The King of Chu looked at his queen and suddenly understood that the entire Chu State hoped to live in peace with Huaxia State and to develop trade with Huaxia State.

The noble families blamed the King of Chu for the starvation and escape of the people of Chu State. Now the reputation of the Chu family among the people has dropped to the lowest. The noble families have chosen their path, and his queen is just a messenger.

"Queen, are you going to leave me on your back?" The King of Chu looked at his queen, feeling indescribably melancholy.

"My king, if you have even a glimmer of hope, I will always follow you and will try to persuade my family to follow you, but you are pushing the entire Chu State into a dead end.

The royal family, noble families, and common people of Chu State are becoming weaker and weaker, while Huaxia State is becoming stronger and stronger. The grain of Huaxia State has always remained at 220 bone coins per stone, while the grain price of our Chu State has reached 1,600 bone coins per stone. Ordinary people can hardly earn 10 bone coins a day, and the money earned from working non-stop for a year cannot support a family of two.

And the grain of Huaxia State is so cheap that we would rather starve to death than buy it. Can the king tell me what we are doing for? How long do we have to wait?" asked the Queen of Chu.

The King of Chu stared at the rockery in the distance without saying a word. He ignored his queen. After a while, the Queen of Chu left alone, and the King of Chu sighed deeply.

He knew that he actually had no choice. If the noble families of Chu State surrendered to Huaxia State together, what should the remaining Chu family do? Continue to hold on? Or follow and surrender?

In any case, the Chu family is the most difficult choice, and now the Chu family has chosen a good choice for the Chu family. In line with the olive branch thrown by Huaxia, the two countries will get along with each other first, and there will be no exchanges between the royal families. As for the future, it is not up to the King of Chu to decide.

The King of Chu sighed deeply. He has the late Jindan realm cultivation, but he has no way to deal with the development of the domestic situation. To be honest, the royal family is also one of the aristocratic families, the largest aristocratic family in the country. Unlike Huaxia, the power of Chu is in the hands of the aristocratic families, while the power of Huaxia is determined by the law and Hua Kai.

The changes in Chu began quietly. The King of Chu turned a blind eye to the exchanges between the major aristocratic families and Huaxia. He began to concentrate on the livelihood of the people in the country and strive to enhance the influence of the Chu family in the country. As for the agreement with Qin Zheng, it was no longer something he could think about.

Hua Kai killed four sky blue whales in Xiandao County in three days, but none of them was longer than 140 meters. The energy contained in some sky blue whale meat was incomparable to that of the 160-meter-long whale. Despite this, the Huaxia world still loved the newly appeared sky blue whale meat very much. The powerful families all bought some to try. In just a few days, the newly put into the market sky blue whale meat sold a million kilograms, and the meat price of the whole Huaxia country dropped by more than 20%.

At the end of August, more than 30,000 people were sent to Dongxian Island for the last time. Hua Kai has not put down the creation of "Pangu Creates the World" this year, because more than 400 gods and demons centered on Pangu in the virtual space have begun to establish the rules of the chaotic world. It has become much easier for Hua Kai to construct gods and demons again.

Hua Kai felt that there was something pushing him to create "Pangu Creates the World". Often when his gods and demons could not go on, some accidents happened, giving him inspiration to continue to improve "Pangu Creates the World".

This thing is even more mysterious than the system on his body. Hua Kai can feel that he is very close to the transformation realm, but he still doesn't know how to enter the transformation realm.

After sending the fifth ship of people, Dongxian Island now has a population of 280,000. The immigration from the mainland to Dongxian Island can be temporarily suspended. These people are enough to cultivate 5 million acres of arable land and produce more than 50 million stones of grain per year, which is enough to make up for the food shortage in Huaxia.

On September 9, this year's Huaxia Blind Date Festival was held in Guangling City. Hua Kai went to Guangling City in person to give a speech. He found that there were quite a few Chu people participating in the blind date conference this year, which made the atmosphere of the entire event very good. Different cultures made the event more colorful.

The original plan to go to Java Island had to be abandoned because of lack of time. In mid-September, the temperature began to get colder. Hua Kai looked at the bare branches on the ground. This drop in temperature caused many trees to freeze to death. Many fruit trees have not borne fruit for many years. The impact of the cold climate is getting bigger and bigger. Many creatures in this world may become extinct because of this big drop in temperature. If the temperature continues to drop like this.

On September 26, Huacheng began to frost, and on October 3, it began to snow. In recent years, the population of Huacheng has begun to increase, and the population of the northern counties has moved south. The prices of major cities in Huaxia have begun to rise, and the lives of civilians have become more and more difficult.

Fortunately, Huaxia has a perfect education system. Children under the age of 12 in each urban area only need to pay a small amount of textbook fees to go to school. The rest is funded by the State Council. Children can eat for free in school, which has relieved a lot of pressure on many poor families.

However, the number of people in the rescue stations, orphanages, and nursing homes in various urban areas under the charge of the State Council has skyrocketed in recent years. The advantage of China's population explosion over the years has gradually weakened. What remains is the burden of the poor without labor force on the entire country. If these problems are not dealt with, the impact on China's future will become greater and greater.

On October 10, China's 18th National Day, the whole country celebrated happily, and many workshops gave workers a holiday. In recent years, because there are more and more workshops in China, various domestic products have begun to be a little oversupplied. The various labor protection laws issued by China have made various workshops, departments, chambers of commerce, and organizations recruit a large number of staff, and they are also under great pressure.

Hua Kai sat in the main seat of the family space [Conference Hall], and all the core members of the Hua family were present. Today they were going to hold a seminar on the problems existing in China, because China has many problems that have to be solved.

"Everyone is here. Everyone knows about China's current problems. Today we are here to discuss solutions. You can talk about any problems you have. Now let's talk about the most pressing issue, China's economy. Second uncle, as the Minister of Finance, please tell us about our economic situation in recent years!"
