Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Your Majesty, we have recently sent out a lot of gold mine output. Most of it has been delivered to the Shenmu Kingdom and exchanged for goods."

"Why don't you want us to keep the wealth?"

Liu Chuang took a sip of tea and suddenly asked a question.

He was very surprised by Qin Ming's arrangement.

Qin Ming smiled. He had already expected that Liu Chuang would come to see him today. He must have some other ideas.

He felt that now he had a gold mine in his hands.

The most important thing is to get the output of these gold mines into your hands.

But Qin Ming did not nod, but asked them to send the things to Tongbao Pavilion in exchange for goods.

Or the food they need.

Qin Ming did not explain to him why he did this.

Liu Chuang, who was on the front line, naturally had to do what Qin Ming said.

Now, just before Liu Chuang came back, he sent another batch to Chu Ying.

As the main force in gold mining, he was naturally unwilling to continue transporting it like this, especially to the Shenmu Kingdom.

After all, no one wants to hand over such precious gold that they have worked so hard to obtain to others.

Although Tongbao Pavilion also provided some assistance during their gold mining development.

But they are the ones who really make the effort.

"It's normal for you to have such thoughts."

As an emperor, Qin Ming often had to face questions from many subordinates.

After practicing like this for a long time, I can naturally understand the thoughts of the people below me just by listening to a few words.

"Then your majesty, what should we do?"

Liu Chuang's eyes lit up, and he was looking forward to Qin Ming saying what he wanted to hear.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming did not ask him to confiscate the gold mines and return them to the national treasury. Instead, he asked:

"Do you know what you're lacking lately?"

Liu Chuang was stunned for a moment, then spread his hands and said:

"They're definitely short of everything: food, craftsmen, and the military pay for our brothers..."

Liu Chuang did not hide it at this time.

He told Qin Ming all the problems he had.

"You're certainly right about that, but isn't fuel what you're most short of late?"

Qin Ming spoke lightly, but his words made Liu Chuang's eyes widen immediately.

Speaking of which, Liu Chuang and his team have been really short of fuel recently.

Since the technology of internal combustion engines began to be researched and gradually advanced.

The internal combustion engines produced can not only be used as propulsion tools for tanks, but can also be used to make other tools.

These tools can achieve twice the result with half the effort when used to mine minerals.

They just still need the court to continue to provide them with fuel.

Liu Chuang was not a frugal person, and his Huozi Camp received sufficient supplies from the court all year round.

Therefore, he always used these instruments lavishly.

The court sent him a batch of fuel, which was quickly used up by him in a few days.

When Liu Chuang heard Qin Ming mention fuel again at this time, he rubbed his hands and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, are you looking for something good for us out there again?"

"That's natural."

Qin Ming nodded slowly, and then told Liu Chuang about the recent mining incident.

Now that I understand the whole process.

Liu Chuang smacked his lips and snorted:

"Your Majesty, these people are too scheming. There must be many people hiding in the shadows within the Shenmu Kingdom who are constantly doing evil. What's the point of fighting them? It's a waste of time and energy!"

"If you ask me, we might as well just push them over in one fell swoop and defeat them. That would save us some energy!"

After hearing what he said, Qin Ming shook his head softly.

"Things here are not as easy as you say. What they need now is not conquest, but a stable path to develop in cooperation with us."

"Besides, do you think I really want this?"

Qin Ming had actually thought about whether he should attack the Shenmu Dynasty before.

But the final conclusion was that it was not appropriate for them to attack directly.

The reason is actually very simple, that is, there are too many people in this place.

They are a gathering of the surrounding small countries and the indigenous people of the Shenmu Kingdom.

Every group pulled into the Shenmu Kingdom has their own thoughts.

It's even more chaotic than the Western Regions.

Although the Western Regions have never been completely unified.

But many of their kingdoms here are very united.

A Western Region Alliance was originally formed to specialize in commercial activities.

Each kingdom distributed the wealth it obtained according to its contribution.

Long-term accumulation has also made the Western Regions very wealthy.

But it is completely different in the Shenmu Kingdom. After they gathered together, they did not become richer, but instead fought among themselves.

Even if Qin Ming captured it, he would have to keep distracted to deal with the troubles on their side.

As a feudal dynasty, their territory is already large enough.

There is absolutely no need to cause yourself trouble by creating a new area.

So in this situation, Qin Ming no longer had any intention of attacking them.

Instead, he wanted to gain more benefits from the details so that Daqian could become more prosperous.

For example, their recent acquisition of oil mines was perfect.

Now they have even negotiated the price with Du Zi, and the next step is to transport the output of the oil mine to the various areas they need.

"Their place isn't suitable for unification. There are simply too many different kinds of people mixed together. Stability in the Western Region, combined with the isolation zone built by Xishu and Fang Yuanjian, is enough."

Qin Ming originally had a very grand plan, which was to get Xishu and Fang Yuanjian to join in.

Fang Yuanjian and Xishu were also able to obtain some land.

By then, with the help of Daqian, they can form two isolation zones to separate Qin Ming's Western Regions from the Shenmu Kingdom, and the friction and conflict between the two sides will naturally be much smaller.

After learning what Qin Ming said, Liu Chuang no longer had much objection to his decision.

At this time, he even took the initiative to offer to help Qin Ming transport the gold mine.

"Your Majesty, I understand. How about I send you another batch of supplies in the next two days?"

Liu Chuang was ready to hand over all the gold mines they had recently earned.

After hearing what he said, Qin Ming waved his hand and whispered to him:

"Don't worry, send me some silver first."

"Why?"

"Two days ago, Elder Song and his men were in financial distress and came to ask for money. I don't want them to become dependent on me, but if anything goes wrong, I will still cover the cost."

After Qin Ming took charge of such a huge dynasty, he always had two plans for everything he did.

Although he has always been concerned about the finances of the Western Regions.
