"Stop. If you don't stop, I'm going to shoot." An aristocratic soldier shouted with the flintlock in his hand.

"Run." The Chu people in front of the country fled frantically. They knew that if they stopped, they would be a dead end. Stop, still a death. Don't listen to those greedy noble soldiers, they won't give you such an opportunity at all.

"Run." Chu people fled one after another. To them, noble soldiers were untrustworthy, so when the incident happened, they chose to escape.

"Shoot, shoot, hit his mother." A man with the appearance of an aristocratic officer brandished the knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Bang, bang. Bang." The bullets were fired out one after another, but helplessly, the opponent had already run away. A few bullets jumped over, they were still holding old-fashioned muskets, and the bullets shot out like a drunkard. Whether you can hit the opponent depends entirely on luck.

"Damn it, ran away again." An aristocratic soldier cursed.

"Forget it. All their cargo is left. Brothers, take a look, what's the good thing?" One of the soldiers had already checked the cargo.

"Look at it, sugar, this is a good thing." A soldier had already grabbed a handful of sugar and sweetened it with his tongue.

"Yeah. Good thing. I heard that the people of Qin State put sugar in the tea water. It tastes very good, and I will taste it later." The soldier holding the sugar said excitedly.

"Let's take a look, what else is good." The other soldiers gathered around, and they were extremely excited about their spoils.

"Haha. Now, there are tea leaves." A soldier opened a load, and he saw tea leaves wrapped in greased paper.

"Look, what is this?" A soldier draped a piece of silk on his shoulder.

"I want to give the orchid a piece of silk like this." The soldiers have already opened the spoils. These things are often smuggled. They are also willing to do such things. Once the spoils are captured, some of these things will belong to them. These things can be sold at a good price, and they can do a lot of things with the money.

"This is mine, mine." Two soldiers scrambled for a silk. The two sides are tearing.

"Puff." A noble officer chopped off the head of the Chu country smuggler.

"Gudong." The officer kicked the opponent in the head.

"Fucking. Something," the officer cursed.

"Leave it all down to Lao Tzu, and you can grab all the good things." The officer scolded dissatisfiedly. Hearing this, the soldier had to put down what he was holding and looked at the officer.

"Go around me. I have already told you." The beaten boy with a swollen nose begged for mercy. At this time, the soldiers were all concerned about robbing things, no one was watching him at all, and he could run away by himself. However, he did not do this because he was afraid of being beaten. He was afraid of becoming the fate of those smugglers on the ground, and his head was chopped off.

"Come here." The officer shouted while sitting on the cargo load. The teenager shivered with fright.

"Come here." The officer yelled again.

The young man was terribly scared, but he crawled over slowly.

As soon as the young man climbed in front of the officer, the officer was about to slash the opponent's head with the sword in his hand.

"Stop." Just then came the voice of stopping.

"Puff." But it was too late. The boy's head has been chopped off. The officer seemed very comfortable.

"Gudong." The officer kicked the opponent's head. Laughed out.

"Stop, who let you kill the innocent like this?" shouted to the officer with indignation.

"Who are you?" The officer cast a disdainful look at Ning Chu and asked.

"Bold, this is Lord Chu." A middle-aged man behind Hou stood up and scolded.

"Let him see." The middle-aged man behind the fate took out a census.

The officer knew at this time that he had met a big man.

"Why are they killed?" Ning Chu looked at the corpses on the ground and the messy goods. He knew that these people were all killed for smuggling. He saw too much along the way. Many merchants ventured to the north in order to make high profits.

"Master Hui, they don't pay taxes because of smuggling. Such a person is really bad for me, Chu State. The subordinates can't be angry." The officer explained.

Ning Chu glanced at the corpse on the ground, and closed his eyes helplessly. After all, the one killed was from the Kingdom of Chu.

"It's okay to catch it later. Don't just kill casually." Gongzi Hingchu ordered.

"Here." The officer agreed.

"Clean up the corpse," Ning Chu ordered.

"Here." The officer waved his arm, and several soldiers stepped forward and lifted the body.

"I have to take these goods to the north. You can pack them up for me." Ning Chu ordered.

"This." The officer hesitated. It took them so much effort to get something like this, and they got it with a bit of order. This makes it difficult for them to accept.

"What?" Ning Chu looked at each other.

"Are you going to disobey the order?" asked Su.

"No, I dare not." The officer lowered his head and said.

"Okay. Everything is ready for me. I'll be on the road in a while," said Ning Chu. The officer had no choice but to let his subordinates prepare, but those subordinates were also savvy people. Some took the opportunity to put some sugar and tea into their arms. They could get them quickly, otherwise they wanted to get them all. Can't take it.

This time, Ning Chu was going to the north to discuss railway matters, because he heard that several great aristocrats in Chu wanted to do railway business, so he also wanted to give it a try.

But along the way, what he saw made him feel a little bad. There are too many levels set up by the nobles. The big and small levels are really tiresome. He hadn't walked twenty miles, but he encountered fifteen levels, and they were set up repeatedly. And along the way, the smugglers walked around, and they didn't dare to walk on the road. People's heads were hanging everywhere at the checkpoints, and those smugglers and traffickers were arrested.

The levels set up everywhere made him feel very annoyed. Because this severely hindered Chu's trade, Chu originally had a great trade advantage. The growing tea trade could bring huge income to Chu, but the Chu people actually restricted themselves. Tea cannot be exported to the north.

There are also silk, sugar, and various minerals. These are all items that bring huge profits. The people of Chu people can't get the benefits. The domestic prices are falling terribly, while the foreign prices are very high. It is really contradictory. Ning Chu didn't want to do business at first, but he wanted to give it a try, to try out how many affordable things there are in this trade. So he can know more.
