Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"What is this?"

Wu Wenzhou and others were very surprised when they saw the telegraph machine.

Young people like Wu Tianxing are quick to react.

He asked with a trembling voice:

"Is this something that can communicate remotely?"

"Yes."

Qin Ming nodded seriously without any concealment.

A long time ago, Wu Wenzhou and Wu Tianxing noticed that Qin Ming's troops' reaction speed exceeded the normal limit.

They believed that their family's intelligence capabilities were the strongest among the Four Pillar States.

But in front of Qin Ming, he was as childish as a toddler.

Qin Ming's speed of transmitting information made them think that he was a god several times.

This also made Wu Wenzhou and Wu Tianxing guess that Qin Ming had a way to quickly pass on the message.

And today they finally saw a telegraph.

"That's what we use to pass on intelligence."

"Show them."

Qin Ming spoke to several soldiers, and then they immediately started fighting face to face.

Soon, the two sides received news from each other on the telegraph machines.

Qin Ming walked up to Wu Wenzhou with the message they had passed to each other.

"This is a telegraph. It can transmit information to each other over long distances."

"Just this method of transmitting intelligence remotely would require several years of technical accumulation and the coordination of various materials before it could be mass-produced."

"You have no skills, no knowledge, and no resources to manufacture telegraphs. Thinking you can reach Daqian's combat capabilities simply by building a military factory is truly wishful thinking."

Qin Ming's words silenced everyone present.

They naturally understood that what Qin Ming said made sense.

Sometimes it takes time for technology to mature.

If they don’t have the corresponding foundation, even if the blueprints are thrown in front of them, they will just treat them as a book written in heaven and it will be of no use at all.

But Wu Wenzhou still didn't give up.

He continued to ask:

"If you don't support the Wu family, once the Yan royal family takes action, we will have absolutely no chance of resistance. The counterattacks from those big families below will kill us without a burial place."

"There are too many big families who want to take the throne. You should have known this from the Yun family a long time ago."

Qin Ming nodded slowly and said:

"Of course I know, but Daqian's troops can protect you. After this... I wonder if you are interested in submitting to Daqian?"

"What!?"

Qin Ming's words made everyone present stunned.

No one expected that he would say such vicious words!

This statement is even more outrageous than what Wu Wenzhou said just now.

"The Yan Dynasty's system is backward, and it has abundant resources but doesn't know how to utilize them. Conflicts between the upper and lower classes are intensifying. Even if you didn't fight Daqian, could you guarantee that your family would prosper steadily for generations?"

"The Yan royal family won't just sit there and watch you prosper. This is an unsolvable problem. You've been here long enough to see things more clearly than I do. You should understand that what I say is true."

Qin Ming's words silenced everyone present.

At this time, he began to continue to make big promises to others.

"If you are willing to transform and become an overseas territory of Daqian, you can be crowned kings starting today. Your rights and responsibilities will remain unchanged, and you will also receive my support."

"All kinds of weapons and equipment, whatever you ask for! Technical support will also be provided, and of course, there's also trade..."

Qin Ming displayed his strength without hesitation.

Everyone couldn't help but be moved.

But Wu Wenzhou was still very worried.

He stared at Qin Ming with suspicion.

"That's fine now, but if we completely fall out with the royal family and find ourselves in a difficult situation, you might change your attitude again."

Qin Ming waved his hand decisively and said:

"Of course not. I have always been honest in my business dealings. If you agree today, it will be like we have completed a big deal."

"If you don't believe in my credibility, you can ask around in this world."

"Without credibility, Daqian wouldn't have come this far!"

Qin Ming's words made Wu Wenzhou and Wu Tianxing hesitate. They were indeed very tempted.

At this time, Wu Tianxing remembered an extremely important situation.

"I heard that Your Majesty had previously evacuated all the local people. I wonder where they have gone now?"

"Outside the northern border of Daqian, arrangements have almost been made."

"If you two still have doubts, you can arrange for someone to go to the northern border to see what their living standards are like."

"I have the confidence to guarantee that their lives there are much better than those of ordinary nobles here."

Qin Ming calculated that his plan to promote the heater should have been fully implemented.

It should be a warm place over there now. Apart from being a little cold, there are no major problems with food, clothing and other necessities.

This is much better than many ordinary Yan Dynasty nobles!

"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to go over there now."

Wu Tianxing still had no experience, so he prepared to arrange someone to go to Qin Ming's side to check the situation.

If Qin Ming is really as powerful as he says, the Wu family will definitely cooperate with him and even serve as their overseas base.

But just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by his father.

"Alright, there's no need to do such undignified things anymore!"

"You kid, too! You insist on running inside to look. Doesn't that make us look inferior?"

"Since Your Majesty has said so, you must be absolutely confident. There is no need for the Wu family to visit again."

His words saved both his face and his substance.

After laying the groundwork, he slowly stood up and offered Qin Ming a glass of wine.

"Your Majesty is right. We are willing to cooperate with you."

"But there's no need to talk about surrender. The most we can do is cooperate."

Qin Ming had long seen that Wu Wenzhou had great ambitions.

If you let such a person work for you, you have to be on guard against him being an ungrateful person.

Since he was unwilling to surrender, Qin Ming was happy to have some free time, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

"Well."

"But we have to start our business. If the Yan Dynasty royal family takes any action again, I will help the Wu family."

"No problem, let's talk about something specific."

After determining the attitudes and positions of both parties, Wu Wenzhou began to discuss specific matters in detail with Qin Ming.

Finally, after much coaxing and persuasion, he got the blueprints of several weapons from Qin Ming.

There is still more or less the possibility of expanding military strength and improving the level of warfare.

Everyone talked until late at night before finally disbanding.

When they left this time, Wu Wenzhou and others did not hide their whereabouts like the Yun family did. Instead, they walked straight out of Qin Ming's military camp.

Qin Ming sent them out of the military camp as usual.

Looking at their departing backs, Qin Ming stroked his chin with a deep look in his eyes.

I don’t know how many tricks the Wu family has prepared behind the scenes, but judging from their aura, it seems that they are going to reveal their cards to the royal family.
