Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After hearing this.

Ren Pingyang and Lu Lianda both looked very unhappy.

In desperation, they once again used the name of Emperor Qian to suppress Qin Ming.

"We heard that the war in the north is going strong, and Daqian's new weapons are very effective."

"We are currently under pressure from them. If we comply with Daqian's demands, it will be very difficult for His Highness to handle the situation."

Seeing that the two men's true intentions were revealed, Song Dingsheng was extremely angry.

"You bastards! How dare you use Daqian to pressure us?"

What they dislike most are those people in the imperial court.

Now these two guys have stepped into the minefield accurately again, which naturally makes everyone present a little agitated.

Qin Ming sneered twice and nodded directly.

"Don't worry, the two of you. Even if Daqian wins the war, they won't dare to attack me."

"As for you, if I withdraw all resources, I hope you can keep your tears down."

"Also, if you find me again when supplies are in short supply, the prices of those goods will not be the same as before."

Qin Ming's words made the two of them feel cold in their hearts.

He thought that Emperor Qian and Daqian were standing behind him, and that he could make a huge amount of silver by asking Qin Ming for favors this time.

But now it seems that they were thinking too much.

Qin Ming didn't even take them seriously.

"Well, since you are so arrogant, we won't stay any longer."

Lu Lianda looked around and found that all of Qin Ming's men were staring at him with eager eyes.

He suddenly felt like a thorn in his back.

He didn't even dare to stay here any longer and turned around to leave.

Ren Pingyang, who was standing next to him, also noticed this situation.

At this moment, he stood up and clasped his fists towards Qin Ming.

The negotiations between the two sides have completely broken down.

After they left, Qin Ming discussed with the people present.

Song Dingsheng said:

"Your Highness, these people are truly greedy. From now on, I will not deliver goods to them and will not give them any silk or grain."

"It's not just silk and grain, what they lack most is actually salt."

Qin Ming spoke calmly and pointed out the key point.

When they heard this, everyone around was extremely surprised.

Only Chen Shimao nodded with satisfaction and continued:

"Your Highness is absolutely right. Without the supply from the factories in Lingnan and Jiangnan, they wouldn't even be able to eat refined salt."

The technical level of the Western Regions and Western Shu is shockingly low.

This also widened the gap between their productivity and Qin Ming's.

Especially on something delicate.

For example, Qin Ming can purify these crude salts on a large scale and then make refined salt.

But this is not the case in the Western Regions and Western Shu.

They have neither skills nor strength.

You can only buy cheap and low-cost refined salt from Qin Ming.

But if Qin Ming cuts it off, their living standards will drop significantly due to the lack of food and salt.

"Teacher, can you cut off these supplies completely?"

Qin Ming turned and looked at Chen Shimao.

If they want to sanction these guys now, the first thing they need to do is to prevent any goods from flowing into their market.

Chen Shimao nodded lightly and said to Qin Ming in a decisive tone:

"No problem. As long as we block the border and don't let any caravans pass through, they won't be able to receive anything. Even if it's smuggling, I can catch them all."

"Yes, the blockade should be more thorough."

Song Dingsheng also spoke quickly.

But at this time Qin Ming smiled.

"A blockade is a blockade, but we don't care about the smugglers."

"Why?"

Several people looked at Qin Ming with some doubts, and Qin Ming explained to them:

"They can't get it at all, so they definitely don't think about these things anymore."

"But what if it's a resource that they've gone through so much trouble and spent a huge price to obtain?"

Chen Shimao quickly understood Qin Ming's meaning.

"You want to give them a little stab and keep them thinking about it? That's a good idea."

After doing business for so many years, Qin Ming also understood how to arouse the greatest interest of customers.

At this time, everyone felt that what Qin Ming said made sense.

So I immediately included this matter in the plan.

After leaving the restaurant, they immediately asked their soldiers to look for tangerine peel.

Chenpi is a general stationed at the border and is very familiar with the border.

Letting him do this will make it less noticeable.

As for Lu Lianda and Ren Pingyang, they also started discussing on the official road after leaving.

Ren Pingyang frowned and said to Lu Lianda:

"We shouldn't have taken out Daqian. We told Qin Ming about the court's affairs. Now, things have gone wrong. I don't know if I will be punished when I return."

"Can you blame me for this? Look at his attitude. If we continue to do business with him, we'll probably be led around by him."

After a pause, he comforted himself:

"It's actually a good idea now. I can completely cut off ties with him. Maybe I can get more things from Daqian."

"Are you going to tell the Emperor of Daqian about this when you return?"

"Of course, we both paid a lot for coming here this time. Are we supposed to bear these losses ourselves?"

"That makes sense..."

After the two of them had discussed it, they left.

At this time, in their hearts they still didn't take Qin Ming's words seriously.

After all, Qin Ming only occupied three prefectures.

Such a small range cannot possibly pose much threat to them.

After thinking about this, the two of them said no more and went back.

It hadn't been half a month since they left.

Soon, problems arose in the countries of the Western Regions.

The price of their cloth was driven up to the sky.

Silk, which originally cost ten taels of silver per piece, is now being sold for three hundred taels per piece.

Hard to come by!

At this time, Qin Ming also disguised himself and brought Sun Miao to the Western Regions.

When the two men arrived, they brought more than a dozen carriages of goods.

It just happened to be all silk.

Standing outside the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions, Sun Miao smiled and asked Qin Ming:

"My Lord, we only brought less than a thousand pieces of silk this time. What on earth do you want to do?"

"Of course, we'll use these things to beat them into submission once and for all. This way, we'll have less trouble doing business in the future."

Qin Ming spoke lightly and answered Sun Miao with a smile.

"You're pointing at such a small thing and want to speculate on it?"

Sun Miao is a businessman.

He saw through Qin Ming's thoughts at a glance.

However, he didn't say anything along the way because he didn't know how Qin Ming wanted to influence the price of the other party's goods with just this little thing.

"This is simple. We have too many ways to do it."

Qin Ming spoke with a smile.
