Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming has a lot of inventory.

Not long after the previous war ended, due to the huge consumption, Qin Ming ordered his subordinates to operate the factory after returning to the court.

The arsenal is constantly being replenished with ammunition.

This means he has a huge inventory on hand.

After Chu Ying arrived here and reached an order transaction with Qin Ming, he took away a large batch of arms in one go.

These things were done very quickly, probably because they were worried that the leaders of various countries would stop them.

But such a sensitive matter as arms trafficking is difficult to conceal no matter how hard one tries.

The day after they left, Qin Ming received news from Song Dingsheng.

"Your Majesty, the rulers of the Western Regions, including Kucha, Tubo, Dayuan, and Dayuezhi, have all come and expressed their desire to see you."

"Are all of them here, or are all going to come?"

Qin Ming confirmed it again, and Song Dingsheng scratched his head and said:

"Yes...all of them are here."

"It seems that this guy has been closely monitoring the major wealthy businessmen."

Qin Ming nodded slowly. It seemed that his prediction was correct. The leaders of the major countries in the Western Regions had been paying close attention to the situation of their opponents.

Chu Ying had just left when all of them arrived the next day.

This kind of efficiency can only be achieved when facing a common enemy.

"Let them go to the side hall and tell the cook Yi to prepare some delicious dishes. I haven't seen these kings for a while."

Compared to those businessmen who forget their principles when they see profit.

Qin Ming's relationship with these kings was slightly better.

What's more, there have been many contacts and exchanges between the two sides.

Although there are also a lot of little thoughts hidden.

But these people are always a level higher than those businessmen.

Qin Ming was also willing to spend some time to entertain them.

"Yes."

Soon Qin Ming arrived at the side hall, which was already filled with kings of various countries.

The leader was the Tubo king.

As soon as he saw Qin Ming, he stood up and came to Qin Ming's side.

"Your Majesty, those arms must not be sold to them!"

Seeing that the other party was so direct in his attitude as soon as we met.

After Qin Ming sat in the main seat, he waved his hand and began to explain his position to them.

"I will not interfere in this incident."

"What you're saying is that merchants come to me with cash to buy things, but I refuse to sell anything. Isn't that just choosing to side with you?"

"This is the Western Region's own business. If I help you, I will be making an enemy of those merchants and the people under their command."

What Qin Ming said was indeed correct. If he cut off the merchants' arms supply as the Tubo king said, the choice of side would be too obvious.

Everyone would think that he was the powerful backer of these Western Region rulers.

But in fact, Qin Ming had already discussed with Chen Shimao that neither of them would help each other.

If they want something, Qin Ming can sell it to them.

But even if they are selling things, it depends on the financial strength they have.

If they didn't pay a penny, Qin Ming would never give them the arms.

The prices offered by these wealthy businessmen from the Western Regions are even higher than the normal prices for purchasing arms.

Qin Ming would be crazy not to make money if he has the chance, unless he has a problem with his brain.

But using the money earned for arms is different from helping Chu Ying and others.

This is also the bottom line Qin Ming agreed with them.

Even if the rulers of the major countries in the Western Regions came, Qin Ming would sell arms to them.

It is impossible to take sides.

"Your Majesty, then we will also order a batch of arms."

The Tubo King seemed to have anticipated that Qin Ming would say this.

However, even if Qin Ming chooses not to help either side and only provides supplies, it doesn’t matter.

They have made all the necessary preparations for this trip.

"How much do you want?"

When Qin Ming just asked this question.

The Tubo King then asked:

"How much do you have left?"

"Probably less than 10 million taels of silver worth of arms."

Qin Ming roughly estimated that they didn't have much ammunition on hand.

Tens of millions of taels of silver worth of ammunition were not even enough to sustain them for three months.

However, what the Tubo king said at this time made him stunned for a moment.

"Okay, we'll take them all."

"But your majesty, if you choose not to help either side in a business deal, can we make a gentleman's deal?"

The Tubo king spoke again and discussed another matter with Qin Ming.

Hearing that he seemed to be prepared, Qin Ming suddenly became curious.

"What's the deal? Tell me."

"We want to take over your arms factory and use a larger order to entrust you to help us produce arms for three months. During these three months, no matter how much arms are produced, our countries will share the cost equally."

When they heard this, Qin Ming and Song Dingsheng were stunned.

It turns out that this was what the Tubo leader had in mind.

Although they couldn't let Qin Ming take sides.

However, it can directly monopolize Qin Ming's orders.

With the existing strength, it is much stronger than those wealthy businessmen.

There is a saying that goes, a centipede dies but its legs remain stiff.

Just like they are now.

Every king could take out a large amount of silver from the treasury.

Once they unite, they can monopolize all of Qin Ming's arms.

All the weapons produced by Daqian in the future will also be taken away.

Completely cut off the possibility for wealthy businessmen from all over the country to purchase arms.

It only takes three months, no matter how powerful Chu Ying is.

Without arms, he is like a cook without rice, unable to make any waves!

"can."

Qin Ming frowned slightly, but his position was very direct. As long as it did not affect other people's war, he would just do business normally.

So he agreed to everyone's request, but at this time he suddenly thought of something.

"How will you pay me? If we're at war, I need the silver first and then the weapons."

Whenever there is a war, one side will eventually be destroyed.

If they were given the arms first, they would give the silver to Qin Ming later.

There will be a risk.

If they were destroyed during the war, Qin Ming would not be able to collect the debt from anyone.

In order to make the transaction more stable, Qin Ming made a request to them.

In comparison, Chu Ying is very knowledgeable about the rules.

He brought the silver here early, and he hoped that the Tubo king would do the same.

"This one……"

After talking about the settlement method, everyone present was a little hesitant.

Even the King of Tubo could not tell Qin Ming exactly how he would give him the money.

"Wait a moment, Your Majesty, let us discuss this first."

The Tubo King pulled everyone out of the store and started talking in low voices.

It was obvious that when they came here this time, they did not bring a large amount of silver like Chu Ying did.

From this perspective, their sincerity is clearly insufficient.

But his appetite was surprisingly big, and he even wanted to take over Qin Ming's factory production for the next three months.
