Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"The people of the Datong Sect all believe that the previous state of the thirty-six nations in the Western Regions, where they helped each other and were closely united, was the best."

"It was Daqian's Hexue technology that caused the rift between them."

"So these people's goal is to destroy all factories and kill all skilled people, so that the entire Western Region will regress to its original state."

"Whether it's the wealthy businessmen who control the factories or the rulers who are now fighting on their own and abandoning the alliance, they have all become their enemies."

After hearing the teachings of the Datong Sect, Qin Ming was stunned.

I didn't expect that such a force would emerge in the Western Regions.

If they really did that, it would cause serious damage to the Western Regions.

It will also bring about huge changes in the trade and relations between Daqian and them.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming frowned.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

He turned to look at Chen Shimao, hoping to hear what Chen Shimao thought.

Faced with such a chaotic surrounding situation, Chen Shimao seemed like an outsider and did not express any opinions.

He shook his head slowly and said:

"Your Majesty, the current situation is unclear, so there is no need to intervene."

"Ok?"

At this moment, he actually said something like a bystander, which is completely different from Chen Shimao's previous character.

Qin Ming suddenly felt something strange. He looked at Chen Shimao deeply and realized something in his heart.

Just as they were talking about this, Song Dingsheng next to them suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, recently all the wealthy merchants in the Western Regions have sent letters in their personal names."

"what did they say?"

"It seems that they heard the news of your return and wanted to come to visit you."

The choice at this point in time is to act in the name of the individual rather than the name of their country.

There is no need to say more about this behavior.

"It seems they are trying to win my support."

"How far has the fight gone?"

Qin Ming was very curious about how far these wealthy businessmen and the leaders of the major countries could go.

It now seems that the Datong sect should be the weakest group.

In comparison, the competition between the wealthy businessman and the king is the highlight.

Chen Shimao, who was standing by, was very familiar with the situation.

After hearing this, he explained to Qin Ming:

"Some rulers have already ordered tax increases and severely restricted the number of people hired by factories."

The methods used by these kings were very direct. They levied taxes in order to get more silver from these wealthy businessmen.

As for limiting the number of people recruited by factories, the means are even more blatant.

After the number of people is limited, the number of people recruited by all factories is fixed.

If they want to expand their scale, they can only build more factories in various places to expand their scale.

But no matter how the factory is built.

These factories are always located within the territories of the major lords.

It's someone else's stuff.

Using this kind of method is no different from robbery, and the wealthy businessmen will definitely not agree with it.

As a result, many officers and soldiers began to have conflicts with the people in the factory.

Under the instigation of wealthy businessmen, many conflicts even occurred in various places.

After listening to their description of the situation, Qin Ming nodded slowly.

"Let them come over, I will see them."

"Yes."

The dinner was over quickly.

Within the palace walls where candlelight flickered, Qin Ming personally escorted Chen Shimao and others out of the palace and then returned to the harem.

Guan Yue had already been here, holding the child, waiting for him.

After Qin Ming teased the child for a while, he sat next to Guan Yue.

The two hadn't seen each other for many days, so this reunion was extremely rare.

Qin Ming gently held Guan Yue in his arms.

"You've worked hard during this period."

Guan Yue didn't say anything, but just gently leaned her head against Qin Ming's chest. Qin Ming gently stroked the black hair on Guan Yue's forehead.

Then he blew out the candle.

……

"Your Majesty, the people are coming."

That morning, Song Dingsheng came to Qin Ming with a dozen people.

"See Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty has an extraordinary demeanor and is truly a hero of the time."

"I have long heard of your Majesty's great reputation. I am honored to meet you today!"

These wealthy businessmen are different from ordinary people.

They have all traveled a lot and are knowledgeable.

He says what he wants to say to whoever he meets.

Now that they finally met Qin Ming, whom they had been thinking about for a long time, everyone was full of praise for him.

Qin Ming felt a little uncomfortable with this flattering look.

However, he did not show it, and simply pointed to the seats and food that had been prepared nearby.

"Have a seat, everyone."

Everyone immediately sat down in the seats on both sides in order.

Everyone looked at the middle-aged man in the lead.

It seems that this is the person who called them together to meet Qin Ming.

As expected, as soon as he sat down, he stood up, holding the wine glass and respectfully introduced himself to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, I am Chu Ying, the president of the Western Region Chamber of Commerce."

"When did the Western Regions have a Chamber of Commerce?"

When Qin Ming heard the words "Western Region Chamber of Commerce", he frowned slightly.

Originally, when they traded with the Western Regions, they did so on a country-by-country basis.

They are also of the same blood and trade with Qin Ming together.

Although later due to insufficient dissemination and distribution of technology.

Many countries have become self-reliant and isolated from cooperation.

But even at this point, trade between the two sides is still based on countries.

There was no Chamber of Commerce at all.

I didn't expect that after I came back from fighting a battle outside, they had even established a chamber of commerce.

The development of the Western Regions is still very rapid.

It can also be seen from the side that these people really want to separate themselves from the leaders of the major countries and form a situation of confrontation.

"Your coming this time is not just to pay me an audience, right?"

Qin Ming went straight to the point and asked Chu Ying about their purpose. Chu Ying nodded with a smile.

"Your Majesty truly has a keen eye. We have come here hoping to gain your support. You are aware that the pressure from the various rulers has reached an unbearable point."

"If this continues, we will have no choice but to rise up in rebellion."

"You've established so many factories and accumulated strength over the years, yet you've gained the power to challenge the armies of major nations."

Qin Ming was a little curious. With their strength, they were able to form such a force in a short period of time.

You have to know that although these wealthy businessmen have money and connections, they don't have armies or weapons.

"That's the problem. We hope to purchase a batch of equipment from you. If you agree, our trade will go more smoothly in the future, and we can also give you more profits."

"In addition, after successfully obtaining the rights we deserve from the rulers of the major countries, we will also ask them to provide you with more convenience."

Chu Ying’s conditions were quite attractive. Not only did he give Qin Ming a large number of orders, but he could also give Qin Ming some concessions on profits.

In a large-scale transaction like this, a slight difference in profit can make a world of difference.
