Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"The Fire Baiting Nation has fought numerous wars to annex the surrounding territories, and now the people are filled with resentment."

Ji Zhun introduced the situation of the Fire Worship Kingdom to Qin Ming.

"Aren't they short of money and food now?"

Qin Ming had experienced battles at the border, and at that time he had only repelled three armies of the Southern Barbarians, which had already cost them a huge price.

Food and silver flowed out like water, without regard for loss!

It is expected that the consumption of the Fire Worshiping Nation is also extremely huge.

"Yes."

Ji Zhun nodded. They had witnessed the war in the Fire Worship Kingdom with their own eyes.

"They are short of money and food right now, so they will definitely not get close to you."

Hu Haisheng and Chu Huaishan began to explain, while observing Qin Ming's expression.

"He thinks it's impossible for me to provide the Fire Bai Kingdom with the money and food it needs?"

Qin Ming looked a little strange.

"Not only that, they also need weapons and equipment. The current situation in the Fire Bai Kingdom is turbulent, and only with weapons and equipment can it be resolved."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Qin Ming's expression became even more exciting.

Fang Qingyuan, who had been sitting next to him and had been silent, frowned slightly.

No one knows Qin Ming's current situation better than him.

Wu Qingye still controls the mines in Nanman.

Their iron ore resources are transported to Linjiang City without any restrictions.

The output of the standardized steelmaking workshop alone is higher than that of the Ministry of Industry’s workshop.

But Bai Mo went to the court instead of Qin Ming.

Even with just a quick glance, you can tell that the situation here is definitely better than that in the imperial court.

Unfortunately, his arrogance got him killed.

"What's the matter, Your Highness?"

When several people saw that Qin Ming's face looked a little strange, they asked in confusion.

Qin Ming scared them as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I have all these things."

"All? But Your Highness, they need quite a lot. After all, they directly support the territories of several small countries..."

"Yes, there is."

Qin Ming spoke slowly, his face full of seriousness.

“How… is it possible!?”

Now, everyone looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.

"Your Highness, the Fire Baiting Nation has taken over the territories of several small nations and needs a huge amount of supplies!"

Fang Qingyuan explained:

"When His Highness first arrived in Lingnan, he repelled the Nanman invasion and occupied several mines outside the Great Wall. Furthermore, he established a textile factory. With the farmhouses and cultivated fields complementing each other, he has a wealth of supplies on hand."

"this……!"

Hearing this, all three of them were very excited.

"Why don't you contact Bai Mo and ask him to apologize to His Highness."

Fang Qingyuan thought about it and made a suggestion.

He didn't have much opinion about the Nanyang merchant caravan.

As long as they can make money, that's fine.

Hu Haisheng and Ji Zhun exchanged glances, and all three of them shook their heads.

"No, weapons, equipment and food can be provided to us."

Qin Ming's heart moved and he immediately understood.

"You want to deal with the Fire Worship Nation?"

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The rapid development of the Fire Baiter naturally aroused the fear of the three major countries in Southeast Asia.

This time, they wanted to earn some supplies through trade and then go back to strengthen their army to defend their country.

However, they didn't expect that Qin Ming could solve all their problems in one go.

Food, supplies, weapons and equipment...

"To be honest, we really need to be on guard against the Fire Worship Nation."

"Your Highness, the Fire Worship Nation is the troublemaker in the entire Nanyang region. They don't follow the rules at all. Many small nations have approached us, hoping to curb their development."

"Can you give us some supplies?"

The three of them looked at Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was a little hesitant.

The situation in Lingnan had just stabilized, and he didn't want to get involved in the turmoil in the Southeast Asian countries.

But just as they said, eliminating the troublemaker Zoroastrianism would be in their best interest.

Once the people of the Fire-Baidu Nation control the discourse power of the South Sea countries, the transactions between the South Sea caravans and themselves will not be as smooth as they are now.

"Yes, but this matter must be carried out in secret."

Reselling military supplies is extremely profitable, but once discovered by the imperial court, Emperor Qian will probably send troops to encircle and suppress him.

This is the same principle as arms trafficking in later generations.

"clear."

The three of them nodded.

Soon, the carriage stopped in Yinshan County.

Qin Ming brought the people from the Nanyang caravan here, had some food, and then let them stay here.

In a few days, all the silk from the textile factory will be delivered.

In addition to silk, the caravans also asked for some linen and cotton.

In one breath, all of Qin Ming’s production capacity for the past six months was cleared out.

Looking at all this, Qin Ming was very satisfied.

Early the next morning, Qin Ming wanted to take them to visit his textile factory.

But Chang Baishan suddenly came.

"Your Highness, a representative from the Fire Worship Nation went to Linjiang City last night and colluded with Li Lianshan."

"According to our investigation, the person who kept causing trouble and trying to get something for free the past two days was also sent there by Li Lianshan!"

"What? How did they get together?"

The amount of information was so overwhelming that Qin Ming couldn't react.

"Li Lianshan has the support of the Sun family. The Sun family is a local wealthy family with great influence."

Chang Baishan explained everything quickly.

Qin Ming suddenly remembered the news Wan Shu had told him before.

"The guesthouse we messed with a few days ago belongs to the Sun family?"

"Yes, this is an industry controlled by a branch of the Sun family, not the real industry of the Sun family."

"What is the Sun family's business?"

"Salt."

hiss!

Hearing this word, Qin Ming took a breath.

He immediately understood why the Sun family was so arrogant and even instructed Li Lianshan to continue attacking him.

In this era, salt was controlled by the government.

However, it was impossible to completely control the salt industry in various places with the manpower of the imperial court.

At this time, salt merchants came into being.

They could help the court control their areas and ensure that salt smuggling did not occur.

To achieve this kind of monopoly behavior requires enormous power.

Therefore, each salt merchant has great power.

"Bai Mo is quite lucky to have such a big shot. Has he spread the news about me?"

The most important thing now is to avoid being discovered smuggling.

Once Bai Mo tells the Sun family the news, it will pose a huge threat to Qin Ming.

He has already decided to kill!

As long as the other party makes any unusual moves, Chang Baishan will be arranged to take action and kill the person directly.

As for the Zoroastrian Kingdom, it is nothing to be afraid of.

Qin Ming can support the three major countries in Southeast Asia with weapons and equipment so that they can eliminate them as soon as possible.

"Probably not yet. Bai Mo knows how important this matter is. If I tell anyone, I will definitely not be able to get away."

Chang Baishan immediately shook his head.

Based on their observations of Bai Mo and Li Lianshan, Qin Ming is still safe at this stage.

But as Bai Mo's contact with the Sun family deepens, it is unknown whether he will be willing to keep his mouth shut after finding a backer.

"Let's go back to Linjiang City."

Not wanting to waste time, Qin Ming asked Fang Qingyuan to stay and handle the delivery of goods with Wu Shizhong.

He took Chang Baishan and quickly rushed towards Linjiang City!
