Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

shhhhhh...

Liu Chuang, who didn't know many words, clumsily picked up a pen and paper and began to write and draw on the map of the South Seas countries.

"You see, this area is considered one of the Nanyang countries."

He drew a circle on the white paper and then pointed to the area of ​​the South Sea countries on the nautical chart.

"In the eastern waters of the Nanyang countries, after a three-day journey, there is an extremely prosperous area. Here, there lives an extremely terrifying dynasty called the Yan Dynasty. Their army even numbers millions!"

"They unified the entire continent. There was no talk of vassal states at all. Once they conquered a land, they would annihilate all the surrounding small nations and make them their own."

"After unifying that continent, they set their sights on overseas..."

Having said this, Liu Chuang stopped.

"You mean, their next stop was originally the Nanyang countries, but we got there first, causing the Yan Dynasty's plan to be stranded."

Qin Ming frowned slightly. During the heyday of Daqian's military strength, the number of troops barely reached one million.

The Yan Dynasty was so terrifying that it had a standing army of millions.

It seems that they are indeed a very rich area. Not to mention anything else, the grain production alone has reached an extremely high level.

"Their food... can feed everyone in the dynasty and still make them wealthy enough to support an army of millions?"

Qin Ming always felt something was strange, so he asked to confirm again.

"Yes, Your Highness, I also think it's impossible, unless they are gods."

When Liu Chuang was asked this question, he was a little hesitant.

When it comes to the highest yield, it must be the black soil.

The black soil is highly nutritious and has a high yield, which can feed many people.

Daqian is not without black soil, but no matter how vast the black soil is, Qin Ming does not think it can support such a huge dynasty.

unless……

“I think it’s a matter of growing plants.”

Qin Ming slowly stated his speculation.

If the other party's territory is full of fertile land, it will be difficult for Qin Ming to seize it.

But if their crop yields are extremely high, Qin Ming will be able to find an opportunity to get the crops from them.

If transplanted onto the land in one's own hands, it can feed millions of people.

"How about I arrange for someone to go and take a look?"

Liu Chuang also became interested. If it was a problem with crops, they could actually find it easily.

"Send a letter to Cao Chuan and ask the Nanyang countries to give it a try."

Qin Ming speculated that people in the Southeast Asian countries should know about these crops.

It's just that they are all small island countries, so they don't have the opportunity to grow crops, and not many people have even thought about this issue for many years.

But if we tell them this key, we might be able to get some help from them and obtain these crops.

"it is good."

Liu Chuang was a little excited and immediately arranged for someone to send the letter.

After finishing everything, Qin Ming asked him again:

"Have those scattered Japanese pirates appeared on the Japanese islands recently?"

When mentioning them, Liu Chuang immediately shook his head and said:

"No."

"That's good."

Qin Ming nodded slowly.

Time passed quickly. Half a month later, Qin Ming had gathered millions of people from the Central Plains.

At the same time, the imperial court did not stop and continued to put pressure on Qin Ming.

Emperor Qian has been closely following Qin Ming's movements.

But for some reason, after countless people were sent to Qin Ming.

The imagined overwhelm did not occur.

On the contrary, Qin Ming seemed to have built several more factories.

This made Emperor Qian anxious.

On this day, he called Cao Lian to his presence again.

"Why has the recent population migration been so ineffective?"

Faced with Emperor Qian's questioning, Cao Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't know how to explain for a moment.

His resignation had already been submitted to the Ministry of Personnel.

But this old man Emperor Qian is extremely shameless.

Seeing that no one in the court was willing to use him, he asked the Ministry of Personnel to submit all the resignations to the Imperial Study.

Then, on the grounds that the backlog of resignations was too large, the request for officials to retire and return home was delayed.

Now many officials are just continuing to work in the court despite their difficulties.

Everyone is superficially close to Emperor Qian but actually at odds with him.

Not to mention caring about the government.

Therefore, even Cao Lian was somewhat negligent in his duties and didn't quite understand the situation on Qin Ming's side.

"I don't know the humble position."

After a long time, Cao Lian finally spoke.

Emperor Qian slammed the table and said:

"You don't know, do you want me to check it myself?"

"Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter immediately... but the number of people that the King of Qin's territory can currently accommodate may exceed our imagination."

Cao Lian sighed and reminded Emperor Qian to make preparations.

If Qin Ming could really eat so many people in one breath, things would be troublesome.

"Impossible! There's no way they can feed so many mouths!"

Emperor Qian knew what was going on with Qin Ming.

Qin Ming has always claimed that he has excellent treatment.

It can allow every citizen who goes to Lingnan to live a much better life than in Daqian.

The wages of avarice is death.

This even made some people who would not be affected by the war want to move to places like Jiangnan.

Cao Lian thought about it carefully and realized that if Qin Ming wanted to maintain the stability of his territory, he needed food.

Food was a very important thing in feudal dynasties.

"Your Majesty is right..."

After the two finished their discussion, a graceful figure appeared in the imperial study.

The person who came was Concubine Xiao Shufei.

Her identity is now the queen.

After experiencing the entire court targeting her and wanting her dead, Empress Xiao completely stopped hiding it.

He often entered the imperial study to discuss state affairs with Emperor Qian in front of the ministers.

"My lady..."

When Cao Lian saw the other person, his expression immediately changed.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

He quickly bowed to Empress Xiao and then said goodbye to Emperor Qian.

Officials in the court generally believed that the root cause of Emperor Qian's frequent stupid decisions lay with Empress Xiao.

So my impression of her is getting worse and worse.

This even affected officials from Empress Xiao's lineage.

Many people were so afraid that they could not hide away when they saw Empress Xiao.

"Go down."

Emperor Qian and Empress Xiao looked at each other, and Cao Lian immediately turned and left.

After he left, Empress Xiao said with a face full of resentment:

"Your Majesty, why are you still keeping these rubbish? It would be a good thing to let them leave early."

She pretended to be indifferent to the officials' reactions.

But in fact, he was already very angry.

Just to maintain the government, he could only reveal it in front of Emperor Qian.

"Don't worry, we'll replace them all once the situation stabilizes. Is there any news from Yan Chao?"

Emperor Qian had no news of the Yan Dynasty.

Now the Xiao family is the only channel left, which is why he insisted on not killing Queen Xiao.

This is also the backstage of Emperor Qian.

"It is because they have news that I came to see you."

Empress Xiao's words made Emperor Qian's eyes light up.

"Quick, show me!"
