Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Yes, they arrived together. On their way here, they saw our rubber hose and were amazed. They talked to us for a long time."

"They want to see you."

Several craftsmen told Qin Ming the news in unison.

Qin Ming and Chen Shimao looked at each other, and Chen Shimao smiled and said:

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect them to come together. Let's settle them first and negotiate with them tomorrow."

"Row."

Qin Ming nodded slowly.

The fact that these two parties came together was beyond his expectations.

Qin Ming's original plan was to divide them.

It is best to be close to the Western Regions and stay away from Western Shu.

This will cause instability in the power among the three parties, allowing him to better control the situation.

But now that both parties have come together, this plan no longer works.

After thinking about this, Qin Ming turned around and went back home.

After a careful discussion with Chen Shimao for a whole night, he called both parties to the Lingnan Restaurant at noon the next day.

The King of Loulan, the King of Tubo, the King of Dayue, the King of Dayuan and others did not go upstairs, but waited downstairs instead.

"King Qin, this is King Loulan, this is the King of Tubo, Dayuan..."

As soon as the King of Loulan saw Qin Ming, he walked up to him and greeted him enthusiastically.

Qin Ming glanced at everyone present calmly, and just as he was about to speak, the Shu Emperor came over with Lu Lianda, smiling.

"I've long heard that the King of Qin is a man of great valor and an emperor. Seeing him today, he's truly extraordinary!"

"We have come here today, specially bringing with us a Nine-Dragon Spitting Pearl Tripod. We wish the King of Qin the speedy unification of the Central Plains!"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and a dozen people carried a huge tripod and placed it in front of Qin Ming.

"It's really troublesome of you to come here and be so polite."

Qin Ming was a little surprised. The Shu Emperor was really smart. He gave Qin Ming a big tripod right at the beginning, which was both financial and respectable.

In fact, Qin Ming didn't know that the Emperor of Shu was originally planning to go up and wait.

But Lu Lianda below discovered that the scheming King of Loulan and others were waiting below like lackeys.

This put the Shu emperor at a disadvantage.

There was no choice but for them to come down directly from upstairs and show their gifts.

This way you can be one step faster.

Seeing this, the faces of King Loulan and his men turned green.

When they saw the Shu Emperor coming with them, they felt a sense of crisis.

Now, look what happened: someone is carrying a tripod directly!

"Your Excellency, Prince Qin, we have also brought a batch of supplies, all of which are high-quality goods from the Western Regions. I also have a piece of jade that has been passed down from generation to generation..."

The King of Loulan gritted his teeth, pulled out a jade disk from his waist, and handed it to Qin Ming with a smile on his face.

His action was immediately understood by the forces including Dayuezhi and Tubo.

The Tubo king took off an agate ring from his hand and handed it to Qin Ming while boasting about it.

The King of Dayue brought his warhorse.

King Mohan drew out his sword inlaid with thirty-six gems of different colors.

What's worse, like the Uighur king, he even pushed his concubine forward.

The most ruthless one was the King of Dayuan. He thought the things given by everyone were good, but when it was his turn, he couldn't take anything.

After thinking about it, he asked the restaurant owner for paper and pen and wrote the agreement on the spot.

"The King of Qin is well-informed and knowledgeable. Ordinary things will certainly not catch your eye."

"I am not very talented, but I am good at raising war horses. I will give you three thousand Dayuan horses!"

hiss!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped.

Qin Ming and Chen Shimao were even more shocked.

"How can this be possible!"

"A gentleman's word is as good as gold. Just keep it!"

The King of Dayuan forcefully stuffed the thing into Qin Ming's arms.

Qin Ming discovered that when this group of kings gathered together, they had even begun to compete with each other for status.

The person with the ugliest expression on the field right now should be the Emperor of Shu.

I originally thought that giving the Nine Dragons Spit Pearl Cauldron as a gift was the most prestigious thing I could do.

The things of the people in front are indeed not as good as his.

But the last three thousand war horses were still Dayuan horses!

It can be said that he was directly crushed.

In this round, the Western Region has a slight advantage.

"Since you are visiting Lingnan, please give us a chance to show your hospitality. Please go up."

Chen Shimao smiled and asked everyone to go up.

If they don't leave now, this farce might continue.

"Your Highness, I saw the water pumping device you made on the road..."

When going upstairs, the Emperor of Shu was quick-witted and directly pushed aside the King of Loulan and the King of Tubo, standing next to Qin Ming to talk.

His humble attitude in seeking advice made the rulers of the Western Regions who saw this scene around him sneer at him.

No one knew how many times they secretly cursed the Shu Emperor in their hearts.

However, the Shu Emperor had practiced for many years and had become extremely thick-skinned, so he didn't think there was anything wrong at all.

"This is mainly a water pumping device. If there is flat land, it can be used for large-scale irrigation and farming."

Since the opponent came, Qin Ming naturally had to show his technical advantage.

Only in this way can resources be exchanged, making the territory in one's hands stronger.

"Hey, isn't this a coincidence!"

The Shu Emperor slapped his forehead in an exaggerated manner, staring and saying:

"We have fertile land in Western Shu, with vast expanses of flat land!"

"If the King of Qin doesn't mind, I'll give you three thousand acres! You just hand over the water pumping and farming technology, and everything you grow will be yours. How about that?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone stopped.

This move by the Shu Emperor is extremely shameless!

It seemed that he was giving the land to Qin Ming, but in fact he wanted to steal his technology.

At that time, Qin Ming's pumping equipment and farming equipment will be sent to Western Shu.

Although they gave away 3,000 acres of land, it was just a drop in the bucket for them.

After plagiarizing Qin Ming's technology on his own territory, all the remaining land can be irrigated using this device.

As for their contribution, it was only three thousand acres of land.

This old bastard!

The King of Loulan spat out of the window without any concealment, his face full of indignation.

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows.

Three thousand acres of land, this is a huge temptation.

"Of course I can, but I want to find an area closer to Lingnan for farming, which will be more convenient."

"Great! The King of Qin is indeed far-sighted!"

The Shu Emperor gave a thumbs up and praised them a lot, and his words almost made the rulers of the Western Regions jealous.

"How about this? I'll give you all the flat farmland near Lingnan!"

"King Qin, just focus on farming and don't worry about anything else! How do you do it?"

"Thank you very much."

Qin Ming clasped his fists in thanks.

Before they even went upstairs, they had already discussed such a big cooperation on the stairs.

This made the Emperor of Shu in a good mood, and he wanted to put his arm around Qin Ming.

Although he was more than ten years older than Qin Ming, he could almost blurt out the word "brother".

Just at this moment, the Shu Emperor suddenly felt an irresistible force pushing him aside.

When he turned around, he saw that it was the King of Dayuan and the King of Tubo.

Both of them were tall and strong. At this moment, they were staring at him fiercely, fearing that he would take advantage of them again.

In the center of the two guards, King Loulan had already approached Qin Ming, smiling and ready to speak.
