Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Oh?"

It just so happened that Qin Ming was also a little curious about their situation.

So he took the letter handed to him by Song Dingsheng and glanced at it briefly.

As expected, Hua Yunhong hid a lot of things from him.

According to the intelligence obtained by the spies arranged by Qin Ming.

The reason for the changes in the Shenmu Kingdom was still Daqian.

Ever since Hua Yunhong entered Daqian and was severely slapped in the face.

The mechanical technology they were proud of became a joke in front of Qin Ming.

After returning to the court, Hua Yunhong brought some basic technologies of Daqian, wanting to learn Qin Ming's advanced experience.

Thereby making his dynasty more powerful.

In theory, there is nothing wrong with such behavior.

Qin Ming didn't stop him either.

But the key point is that outsiders like Qin Ming did not stop it, but many different voices emerged within their group.

The influx of new technologies severely impacted the mechanical skills that they had once been proud of.

Many of the sophisticated machines they originally made are now about to be eliminated.

Some related industries were even directly impacted and wiped out.

At this critical moment of transition from the old to the new.

The entire court of the Shenmu Kingdom was divided into two factions. One faction wanted to learn Qin Ming's advanced technology and integrate it into the ancient mechanical art.

It can be regarded as extending the life of mechanical technology and continuing the foundation of the dynasty.

In this way, many mechanical engineering masters in their palace and among the people can continue to survive and have a job.

But there is another group of people who are somewhat radical.

They feel that existing technology is capable of completely abandoning the ancient mechanical techniques.

As for those old guys, it’s time for them to exit the stage of history.

Originally, if they were all cleared out, and mechanical engineering was abandoned, more energy would be put into the research of new technologies, which would make the entire Shenmu Kingdom more efficient from top to bottom.

But there is one thing that the radicals did not think of.

That is, all these people in high positions are masters of mechanical engineering.

How could they possibly do something like destroying their own jobs? So a struggle broke out between the two factions.

At this time, one of the representatives of the radicals.

Even their seventh prince Fang Yuanjian felt extremely tired after rounds of struggle.

He believed that continuing the fight like this would be bad for both sides.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, he was ready to withdraw from the court struggle.

He returned to his fiefdom and introduced new technologies according to the radical reform line.

Completely abolish the original mechanical techniques, and then play with them by yourself behind closed doors.

See how your territory develops after fully investing in new technologies.

If it is effective, this method can be extended to the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

Unfortunately, a prince with ideals and ambitions like him would be a thorn in the side of any crown prince who was about to take over the throne.

For example, Hua Yunhong was extremely dissatisfied with him.

In addition, Hua Yunhong is a staunch conservative and will not give up on the preservation of mechanical technology.

This puts Fang Yuanjian's position in the court in jeopardy, and even his living space is infinitely compressed.

In the past two years, he has given in everywhere.

But one day, after returning from the palace to report on his work, he was suddenly declared a traitor by the court.

In desperation, Fang Yuanjian picked up a butcher knife and started fighting with them.

Obviously, there are still doubts as to whether Fang Yuanjian is a traitor.

"I haven't found out what happened when he entered the court to report on his work."

Qin Ming asked Song Dingsheng.

"That would be too troublesome. After all, the secret guards have just entered that place and have no chance to find out more deeply."

Song Dingsheng shook his head.

The struggle for the royal family may also be a confrontation between two factions in the court.

If they can find out such secret things, they must be gods.

What's more, Qin Ming only arranged a small group of secret guards to go there.

It's good enough to be able to find out these basic situations.

"Teacher, you can take a look too."

Qin Ming handed the letter to Chen Shimao.

Song Dingsheng is very sensible. This is what Qin Ming instructed him to do.

Even if Chen Shimao knew the situation, when the news was first delivered to Song Dingsheng, he did not give it directly to Chen Shimao.

Instead, he waited for Qin Ming to come back, handed it to Qin Ming personally, and asked him to read it before making a decision.

Sure enough, after reading the letter, Qin Ming immediately handed it to Chen Shimao.

After entering the hall, Chen Shimao sat next to Qin Ming and carefully read the information sent back by the secret guard.

"Your Majesty, the situation here is similar to that in the Western Regions, but the Western Regions are now divided into three factions, and it's become a chaotic mess."

Qin Ming was stunned by what Chen Shimao said, and then he immediately asked:

"What happened?"

The Western Regions are different from the Shenmu Kingdom. The Shenmu Kingdom is thousands of miles away from Qin Ming, but the Western Regions are the small countries next to their Daqian.

If there is chaos over there, the impact on Qin Ming and the imperial court will definitely be the most direct.

"It's not a big deal. It's just a conflict between the wealthy businessman and the rulers of other dynasties."

"Then why are there three factions?"

"Because there is a group of people who want to completely destroy all the leaders and wealthy businessmen."

According to Chen Shimao, since Qin Ming's advanced technology reached the Western Regions, they had experienced similar changes to those in the Shenmu Kingdom. However, the changes were more dramatic. The wealthy merchants, who previously controlled vast resources and wealth, now held even greater power. They built factory after factory, each managing at least several thousand people. They even began absorbing populations from other countries. Some small nations were completely drained of their populations, leaving them unable to retain them without the strength of their own countries.

The growing power made all these wealthy businessmen start to swell up, and some of them even became rich enough to rival a country.

Even the original rulers felt a deep sense of crisis.

Although they had military and economic power, all of it was in the hands of those wealthy businessmen. In addition, those wealthy businessmen were in charge of thousands of civilians. If they acted rashly against them, it would only lead to a lose-lose situation for themselves and the entire kingdom.

As a result, the struggle between the two sides began to intensify. After their struggle began, the lives of the lower-class people naturally became a little difficult.

In this gap, many people who hate science and technology were born.

They are deeply aware.

More advanced science and technology cannot bring any happiness to people. It may even destroy their original lives and drive everyone into factories.

They spontaneously organized themselves and formed a sect called Datong Sect.

And their teachings are extremely violent!
