Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Although the imperial court issued a ban to block the passage between Huxi and Jiangnan.

But when the order was carried out at the local level, there were no soldiers given.

The situation of a good cook cannot cook without rice arises.

Countless people gather at the border all day long, and they are not waiting here in vain.

When a large number of people have gathered, Qin Ming will lead his soldiers to break through the checkpoint with a kind face.

In front of all the prefects and the governor, all the people were taken away.

But the officials of Daqian could only sigh in despair.

There’s nothing we can do, they came here carrying cannons.

The imperial court didn't give them any cannons, let alone soldiers, so who would dare to stop them?

This is not like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm...

So, after dozens of days, ferry crossings on both sides of the river popped up like mushrooms after a rain.

The wisdom of the people is infinite.

They cut through mountains and built bridges across rivers. Just like at this time, some smart people started to do passenger ship business.

He has to make at least dozens of trips a day. Not to mention the money he earns, he even helps Qin Ming share some of the pressure.

The news that the people were evacuating on a large scale, especially towards Lingnan, soon reached the court.

Minister of Revenue Cao Lian went to see Emperor Qian with a bitter face.

"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people have been taken away by the King of Qin. If this continues, the Central Plains will be deserted!"

Emperor Qian's face was gloomy. He had known the news for a long time.

However, no solution has been found in the past few days, so the matter has been put on hold, waiting for the ministers to discuss it.

I didn't expect Cao Lian to come to me on his own initiative.

"Didn't they have a ban on leaving? What are the people down there doing?!"

Emperor Qian began to pass the buck as usual.

Cao Lian's mouth twitched. Who doesn't know that the orders given by the court to the subordinates are all empty promises?

Emperor Qian had written so many times that his brush wore out that it was useless even if he issued dozens or hundreds of orders.

Without the support of the imperial court, no one could stop the King of Qin.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qin's attack is fierce. How about... we find some help?"

Cao Lian spoke tentatively.

Emperor Qian had previously found an extremely powerful overseas dynasty, which was said to have the strength to even confront Qin Ming.

If we can get the other party to arrange someone to help again, maybe the situation will improve.

But Emperor Qian shook his head with a dark face.

"Not yet."

Emperor Qian never told anyone about the conditions offered by the other party.

That is to allocate Lingnan and Jiangnan to each other and maintain trade between the two countries for three years.

This is such a disadvantage.

In addition, when the other party came to support last time, they saw with their own eyes the mechanism that Qin Ming could fly high into the sky.

It has been more than a month since Emperor Qian sent the letter, but the other party has been pretending to be dead and has not replied.

"That……"

Cao Lian was helpless. Neither this nor that would work. Could they just watch Qin Ming turn the people of Daqian into his subjects?

Just as the two fell into silence.

Emperor Qian suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution.

"By the way...you said that in just a few days, they absorbed hundreds of thousands of people?"

"Yes."

"Then let them absorb it. You arrange for people from the court to spread his news among the people. I want to see how many people they can accommodate!"

Emperor Qian sneered, a sinister look appearing on his face.

Qin Ming's abilities are limited.

If hundreds of thousands or even millions of people could be moved there in one go.

With the strength and resources of the three regions of Huxi, Lingnan and Jiangnan, they probably cannot support so many people.

"I see!"

Until now, Cao Lian has not realized how stupid Emperor Qian's move was.

Seeing that there was a solution, he quickly joined forces with many officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to carry out Emperor Qian's wishes.

When the court was making strange moves, Qin Ming had already invited Chen Shimao.

The two of them arrived at Xiasha City in the west of the lake. Standing in front of the factory gate on the outskirts of the city, Qin Ming looked at the wilderness in the distance and said to Chen Shimao:

"Teacher, the number of people is a little beyond my expectations."

Qin Ming had not originally expected that so many people from Daqian would come.

But recently the court's reactions have become increasingly strange.

There were so many people coming that it was impossible to count them.

If this continues, even if we build several-story buildings, we may not be able to accommodate them.

This period also involves some issues such as personnel deployment and how to properly place them.

If Qin Ming had someone around him who was capable of properly resettling millions of people.

Then it can only be Chen Shimao.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Chen Shimao spoke slowly, without a trace of panic in his tone.

He still has the ability to bring peace to the world.

"Then it's up to you."

Qin Ming spoke solemnly.

Chen Shimao waved his hand and said:

"It's better to say that Your Highness has helped me solve an urgent problem. Recently, our track construction, as well as the construction of new shipyards and other areas, require a large number of manpower."

Chen Shimao originally helped Qin Ming move some of the people in the factory from Lingnan to Jiangnan.

Now there are two or three factories in each of the three state capitals, covering various industries such as weaving mills, salt mills, iron foundries, etc.

Each factory needs thousands or even tens of thousands of people to help.

This alone can help Qin Ming share the pressure of countless people.

"Teacher, do you think it is still necessary to absorb the people now?"

Qin Ming looked at Chen Shimao curiously.

Chen Shimao stroked his beard and asked Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, have you ever felt that the imperial court has recently relaxed its vigilance against you, and even stopped the people from migrating?"

"There is a feeling that they want to break through Lingnan in this effortless way."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ming gave the answer that Chen Shimao wanted.

"That's right. Opportunities and risks coexist now. If we can get through this, we won't be affected by population growth in the future."

Since the imperial court had no troops to confront Qin Ming head-on, they used the method of letting nature take its course and made him take a deep breath.

But if Qin Ming wants to accept so many people, he needs to have the strength to support it.

If they could not accommodate so many people, they would lose their composure and even cause chaos, resulting in many casualties among the refugees.

Those people will definitely not come again.

His plan to absorb the people into his rule and weaken Daqian was naturally shelved.

"I understand. Let's continue."

After being enlightened by Chen Shimao, Qin Ming raised a smile.

Qin Ming directly ordered the army to be divided into dozens of groups and began to accept the people who wanted to seek refuge in the Central Plains.

That night, Liu Chuang, who had gone to arrest Morocuo, also returned.

"We used excessive force during the torture and the man died. Your Highness, please punish us."

As soon as he came back, Liu Chuang found Qin Ming to admit his mistake.

"Have you found out the truth?"

Qin Ming didn't care whether Morocuo was dead or alive.

What he needed was intelligence.

"I found out a lot of things."

Liu Chuang took out a sea chart directly from his arms.

Then he placed it in front of Qin Ming.

"Your Highness, if I say... the world overseas is vast beyond our imagination, would you believe me?"

"Of course I do."

Qin Ming nodded seriously.

This surprised Liu Chuang a little, but when he thought about it, it was Qin Ming, he could understand it.

Then he said seriously:

"Okay, then, what I'm going to tell you next is the situation overseas..."
