Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"That's it!"

Chang Baishan immediately gave a thumbs up.

They felt relieved after knowing Qin Ming's arrangements.

Under Qin Ming's arrangement, some wars soon broke out in the Western Regions.

First, the Wusun Kingdom launched a war against the Loulan Kingdom.

The rest of the kingdoms soon followed.

What is unusual is that these countries that initiated the war actually have newer equipment.

Once these things were deployed on the battlefield, they dealt a huge blow to other kingdoms.

And everyone knows the source of these equipment.

Only Qin Ming and his powerful dynasty could produce so much equipment through their countless arsenals and quickly deploy it on the battlefield.

But it was clear that they were now in conflict.

No one had time to care whether the weapons they asked for from Qin Ming or were provided by Qin Ming voluntarily.

As for whether Qin Ming started the war, it doesn’t matter at all.

After they were embroiled in conflict, bad news came from the major kingdoms in the Western Regions.

At noon that day, Xu Youjia was waiting for a reply from the Western Regions.

However, his men rushed in hastily from outside, knelt down in front of Xu Youjia, and shouted loudly:

"Oh no, sir. All the goods and money we sent over are gone."

"What? What do you mean by gone?"

Xu Youjia's head exploded with a buzzing sound.

He could never have imagined that his family's years of hard work would disappear so quickly after he arranged for someone to send it out.

Originally, he had hoped that the Western Regions could provide him with shelter.

But since receiving the news that the civil war in the Western Regions has begun.

He never felt at ease for a moment and was worried all day long.

As for his father, he had already taken people to the Western Regions to investigate the situation.

All the major families are now in panic and were originally preparing to rebel against Daqian.

But since this incident happened, no one has mentioned anything about resisting Daqian again.

They almost devoted their whole hearts and minds to saving their own property!

"It seems that because they were at war, many of the things we sent over were temporarily requisitioned. Now there is no one responsible for us."

What his subordinates said at this time made Xu Youjia feel like he was struck by lightning.

Every word was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart.

Xu Youjia could no longer stand steadily. He fell to the ground weakly, feeling extremely confused for a moment.

He had never encountered such a big crisis.

Is it possible that all the wealth of the Xu family will be destroyed in this generation?

When I thought of this, tremendous pressure came over me like a tide.

puff!

After a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Xu Youjia’s eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

The same thing happened in the territories of many other families.

After Qin Ming collected the wealth of major families in the northwest in one breath.

Soon, a report from Chen Shimao was received.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Chen has sent a letter."

After Qin Ming took a quick look at the letter, he was shocked by the numbers on it.

"One hundred and eighty million taels of silver?!"

Such a huge number made even Qin Ming gasp in shock.

You have to know that they can only get tens of millions of taels of silver every year.

For things like building a canal, once it is done, the money on hand will be spent in large amounts.

Sometimes we even spend more than we earn.

But Qin Ming also did a lot of construction, which made the roads in their entire Daqian territory well developed.

Whether it is concrete roads, railways, or even canals, they have all reached their peak.

But the cost is also obvious.

Just when Qin Ming was worried about where to get the money.

These major families in the northwest actually contributed so much directly.

Looking at the national treasury that was about to overflow, Qin Ming was overjoyed at this moment.

"In the future, the canal will not necessarily need to be taken over by the big families in the northwest."

After having this money.

Qin Ming no longer needs to rely on these big families to take over various sections of the canal.

If we let them take over, sometimes the quality of the built canal may be different in different areas.

This kind of uneven quality may cause trouble in the future.

It was for this reason that Qin Ming decided to take the responsibility of this matter himself.

Anyway, these big families have already paid enough money.

Soon, someone found Qin Ming.

The person who came was Wan Shu.

"Your Majesty, this cannot go on."

"Are you here on behalf of the Wan family?"

Qin Ming felt a little strange when he saw Chen Shimao.

Logically speaking, this is a busy time for all aspects of the capital to collect revenue.

But Wan Shu put down what he was doing and came in person.

It was obvious that Wan Shu had noticed something wrong and came to inform him personally.

"The Wan family has discovered that the county towns in various regions have begun to collapse. After the fall of the local major families, refugees have spread everywhere, especially in the northwest region."

"The number of refugees has reached 700,000."

The moment he heard this number, Qin Ming immediately understood what Wan Shu meant.

Although the major families have done a lot of bad things over the years.

But they also indirectly support the local economy.

If they were allowed to fall like this, the subsequent situation might have a huge impact on Qin Ming.

For the safety of the entire Northwest, Qin Ming would be better off keeping these big families in a half-dead state.

Only in this way can stability be maintained.

"What's the situation in the Western Regions? Is trade possible now?"

"Not yet. Their war may last for one or two years. During this time, we only need to sell arms."

"Well, withdraw the troops now. I will be leaving after a few days."

Qin Ming is not going to continue to put pressure on the major families.

As for the stability here and the maintenance of the factory, Qin Ming will arrange Wan Shu to be in charge here.

It is a good opportunity to take over the factories that are difficult for the major families to maintain, thereby expanding the power of Qin Ming and the court.

"When will these 700,000 refugees be dealt with?"

After Qin Ming made the request, he quickly asked Wan Shu about the time.

Wan Shu thought for a moment and then said:

"Restarting those factories should bring them back within a month or two. As for the half-dead state of these large families that you requested, I can also achieve that quickly."

"Well, I'm counting on you then."

Qin Ming and Wan Shu were talking, and it was dark when they finished.

After looking at the sky, Qin Ming and Wan Shu looked at each other.

Both of them understood, walked into the room, and closed the door and curtains.

The candle is blown out, and another night of spring breeze comes.
