Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Soon, all the troops from Changbaishan returned.

"Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission."

When they saw that Qin Ming only let the guard commander around him command the war, everyone at the scene suddenly felt shocked again.

Qin Ming didn't care about that. He turned to look at the people in the Western Regions. He opened his mouth and suddenly talked about another thing.

"Have there been any problems with the railways in the Western Regions recently?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Xishu and Nanman didn't know what had happened yet and just thought Qin Ming was showing ordinary concern.

Their railways often need repair, and the area bordering the Western Regions and Daqian is extremely vast.

Therefore, the railway between the two sides is very long, and problems are likely to occur. It is normal for Qin Ming to ask such questions.

But the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions that had done something wrong were quiet at this time.

After a long time, someone finally said:

"Well... that railway did have some minor problems and is currently under repair. We may need your assistance to safely transport our goods within the next year or so."

They reacted quickly. Since Qin Ming had already pointed it out, if they still didn't understand, they would have wasted all these years.

Knowing that they are in contact with the nomadic tribes in the north, we can just correct it right away.

Qin Ming didn't point it out, so they just handed over the management rights of these railways.

In this way, Qin Ming would no longer worry about them providing weapons and equipment to the nomadic tribes in the north.

The speed at which the Western Regions changed their attitude was so fast that even Chang Baishan was stunned.

"Your Majesty, they are..."

Qin Ming waved his hand at him, indicating that he didn't need to talk about the issues in the Western Regions here.

Then he turned around and continued to speak to the people in the Western Regions:

"Okay, since you are all so sincere in asking for help, I will send someone over in a few days."

"I hope that everyone can cooperate with us at that time to facilitate our management."

"Of course, of course."

This wave of survival by losing an arm in the Western Regions is textbook-level.

Handing over the management rights to Qin Ming and his team reduced some costs and also reduced some of their ambitions. However, the business can still be continued, which can be regarded as minimizing the losses.

But their behavior surprised both Western Shu and Southern Barbarians.

As bystanders, they had no idea why the people of the Western Regions would so obediently hand over management rights to Qin Ming.

No matter what time, it is safest to have management rights in your own hands, right?

"Well, I recently arranged for a batch of overseas food to be delivered to this city. You can enter with the troops later to taste the fresh food."

Qin Ming never hesitates after such large-scale events.

Generally speaking, the layout is very good.

Just like the banquets he arranged, the ingredients used were specially sent from Yan Dynasty.

Naturally, everyone had no reason to refuse, so they quickly followed Qin Ming in. During this time, many people approached Qin Ming and wanted to establish a relationship with him.

Soon the banquet dishes were served, and everyone saw some novel ingredients as soon as they sat down.

Whether it was the staple food, the dishes, or even some fruits, they were all things they had never seen before.

"Your Majesty, where did you get these things?"

The king of Dayuezhi asked Qin Ming with some curiosity.

In addition to him, the ruler of Western Shu was also amazed.

"These things are so rare, I've never even seen them before."

The elder of the Nanman tribe, who had remained silent until now, spoke up:

"Could it be... from the Yan Dynasty?"

After hearing the word Yan Chao, everyone present suddenly widened their eyes and looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.

It seemed like she was waiting for his confirmation.

Qin Ming also shrugged and admitted it frankly.

"Yes, the battle against Yan Dynasty was a great victory. We have signed an armistice treaty and established a cooperative relationship for the next few years."

"The things you have in front of you are what we purchased from there."

After hearing these words, everyone's mouths opened so wide that several goose eggs could fit in.

They all knew that Qin Ming won the war.

But no one expected that he would even start a business!

Isn't it a pyrrhic victory?

This……

The many kings who had been constantly speculating about Qin Ming's strength were all shocked at this moment.

The ruler of Dayuezhi is now truly convinced.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

He stood up very servilely and drank three full glasses of wine in succession.

Qin Ming just nodded lightly at him without even picking up the wine glass.

But the King of Dayuezhi still laughed, as if he didn't care at all.

Seeing this, the surrounding kings were not willing to be outdone. They quickly picked up their wine glasses and congratulated Qin Ming repeatedly.

Seeing that the situation here has stabilized, Chang Baishan, who was sitting next to Qin Ming, muttered:

"Your Majesty, seeing how they are, it will be difficult for us to take action later."

Ever since he learned that people from the Western Regions could change their minds faster than turning the pages of a book, Qin Ming had already put them on his blacklist.

Since they provided weapons and equipment and damaged the interests of Daqian, they naturally have to pay the price.

Therefore, no matter how well they perform at this time, Qin Ming's plan will still be implemented.

"It's okay, the teacher will continue."

Qin Ming shook his head lightly and whispered to him.

Chang Baishan immediately gave Qin Ming a thumbs up.

"As expected of His Majesty, their compliments are truly overwhelming. I'm afraid you'll forget the purpose of our visit after they've praised you enough."

Qin Ming shrugged helplessly.

"These are all appearances."

After ending this military conflict, Qin Ming returned to the court.

It's already spring at this time.

As spring arrives and flowers bloom, the streets of the capital gradually become bustling.

However, when Qin Ming passed by these noisy streets, his face was full of worry.

Guan Yue, who came to greet him, gently placed her hand on the back of Qin Ming's hand after seeing this scene.

"Your Majesty, are you worried about the situation of those northern troops?"

"Well, I'm going to go and see it myself in the next few days."

Qin Ming just opened his mouth when Guan Yue whispered:

"You should go back to the palace and check on the smuggling situation in the Western Regions. I just took over the train tracks you mentioned a few days ago, and I found a lot of smuggled goods."

As soon as he heard these words, Qin Ming frowned deeply.

Those people from the Western Regions speak better than they sing, but when it comes to actually doing things, they often want to cheat others.

"I see. Let's go check it out."

Qin Ming nodded slowly and soon came to the imperial study.

In the imperial study, Guan Yue had already asked someone to prepare the account books.

Qin Ming picked it up and flipped through it casually, then he was slightly stunned.

"Why is there so much smuggling in the Western Regions? Is there any collusion within the imperial court or in the border areas?"
