Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

As the telegram was sent, Qin Ming, who had completed part of the construction in the Western Region, soon received the news.

"Snow Country...Yelang Country?"

Looking at the information in his hand, Qin Ming was confused.

These are countries that suddenly emerged.

If he hadn't told me, he really wouldn't have noticed.

After asking some local people in the Western Regions, he finally found out the level and scale of these countries.

For example, the Yelang Kingdom was previously an extremely marginalized country among its many allies in the Western Regions.

Normally, no one will notice what you have done.

Of course, they themselves don't have much strength.

If it weren't for the Snow Country's troops stationed there, which gave them some confidence, and if it weren't for the fact that the major allies in the Western Regions never took action against these small countries in order to demonstrate unity and cooperation, it would have been difficult for them to survive until now.

"Your Majesty, the Huayuanzheng troops that were disbanded were only a few tens of thousands. Together with the Snow Country's troops, there are less than 100,000."

"Tongbao Pavilion can definitely take care of that."

Elder Song and Xuanfeng reported the information they had collected to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded lightly and put down what he was holding.

"Let's talk about it when Hua Yuanzheng comes to us."

He was not in a hurry. Recently, part of the reconstruction work in the Western Region had just been completed, and it was the time for them to accumulate strength.

Qin Ming also didn't want his troops to get involved in too many disputes.

"By the way, Your Majesty, Liu Qin from Western Shu has also arranged troops to come with them these days."

"Oh?"

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows.

Ever since he occupied the Western Regions, he has attracted the attention of various forces.

Some time ago, Fang Yuanjian arranged for someone to come here specifically, saying it was a visit, but actually it was to build relationships.

Hua Yuanzheng is 18,000 miles away from here, but he also said he wanted to come.

Now that Western Shu has come to visit, it is said that the Southern Barbarians also want to arrange for someone to come and pay a visit.

The reason for doing this is actually very simple.

The Western Regions was originally a very prosperous trade route.

Connects many areas.

Controlling this place means they have the initiative in doing business.

In the future, many trade routes will pass through the Western Regions.

In addition, Daqian’s transportation facilities are very advanced. If you can establish good relationships with them in advance, you will be able to make money very quickly in the future.

No kingdom can refuse to make money.

Therefore, after seeing that the reconstruction work in the Western Regions had been progressing smoothly, many major forces came to pay a visit.

Of course, compared to those who are trying hard to move up, there is an exception.

That is Hua Yunhong.

The Shenmu Kingdom has been in turmoil in recent days. Countless old ministers have been constantly chasing and blocking Hua Yunhong, hoping that he can continue to develop the art of mechanical engineering and establish it as the national art of the Shenmu Kingdom, so as to maintain the identity and status of the older generation.

Therefore, even if Hua Yunhong wanted to meet with Qin Ming to discuss trade with Daqian, he had no chance.

"When will it arrive?"

Qin Ming asked the two of them.

"This afternoon."

"So fast."

"Yes, after they entered the Western Regions, we arranged for Liu Qin to come here by train. It was very fast."

"Well, you guys make the arrangements. I'll meet him tonight."

"Yes!"

In the evening, Liu Qin arrived at the Lotus City in the Western Regions.

This is a capital city recently selected by Qin Ming, which originally belonged to the Dayuezhi.

"Your Majesty of Daqian, hello."

As soon as Liu Qin came in, he saw the legendary ferocious being.

But to his surprise, the other party was not as green-faced and fang-toothed as the legend said, but was just a young man with a heroic look on his face.

"Please take a seat. You all from Western Shu have come from afar. I have prepared a little wine. I hope you will forgive me for any inadequacy of our hospitality."

"You're too kind."

Liu Qin immediately sat down at the table.

Several of his trusted aides also joined him at the table.

As soon as they sat down, they picked up their chopsticks, tasted a few bites, and praised the food repeatedly.

"I heard that the food in Daqian is delicious, and today I see that it is indeed true."

"Your Majesty is truly valiant and extraordinary. I am honored to meet you today..."

……

Their actions were actually a bit exaggerated.

The distance between the Western Regions and Western Shu is not far.

It also borders Daqian.

What good things Daqian has, the ordinary people may not have enjoyed, but these officials certainly have.

But they acted as if they were eating Daqian’s food for the first time.

There is a saying that goes "sweet words, but a sharp knife in the heart."

What these people say sounds nice, but no one knows what they are thinking.

Qin Ming had seen too many such scenes before, so he didn't fight back. He just smiled and chatted with them, playing Tai Chi.

After consuming more than a dozen bottles of Daqian's Jiutanchun, many people present were already feeling better.

The atmosphere gradually became right.

Seeing this, Liu Qin, who had not forgotten his business, finally spoke.

"Cough cough."

He coughed twice, and the noisy crowd eating and drinking suddenly quieted down.

Even the officials who came to Qin Ming to flatter and toast him stopped moving.

Qin Ming's heart moved.

Liu Qin has always disguised himself very well and looks harmless.

But in fact he is not a mediocre person.

On the contrary, he managed the officials in the court well.

You can tell from their reaction just now.

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are building a railway recently. This is a huge project."

Liu Qin walked forward and personally filled Qin Ming's glass with wine.

This scene made many Western Shu officials who came with him open their eyes wide.

Liu Qinhe was the emperor of Western Shu. He was of noble status and second only to the emperor.

Originally, any official with sufficient status could visit Qin Ming.

But he came in person.

This is already very respectful.

But coming here in person wasn't enough, he even personally poured wine for Qin Ming at the banquet...

When Qin Ming saw this scene, his expression did not change at all.

But in my heart, I was also impressed by Liu Qin's adaptability.

"It's indeed a massive project. I'm sure you've heard that there will be dozens of new railway lines."

"Yes, the railway we took when we came here by train should be the newly built one."

Liu Qin immediately followed Qin Ming's words.

He also took the opportunity to drink the wine that was poured for him in one gulp.

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

Seeing that the other party's attitude was so upright, Qin Ming didn't beat around the bush.

Liu Qin smiled and said:

"In fact, there are many laborers in Xishu. I can send them to you whenever you need them."

"I heard that the treatment here is not bad. If we can provide them with food and clothing and work for a few years, it will be considered as helping Xishu solve a big problem."

At this point, he finally expressed his thoughts.

It turned out that he brought the people of Western Shu to Daqian to make money.
