Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"how many people?"

Qin Ming did not agree directly.

Their current military strength can no longer support too many laborers.

In addition, some of Daqian’s technology will be applied during the construction of the railway.

The other party arranged so many people to come here. Even if the technical protection of the atmosphere is very good, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no technology leakage.

"To be honest, there are quite a lot of people... I wonder how many Daqian can take?"

When she said this, Liu Qin felt a little embarrassed.

As soon as these words came out, Qin Ming and Cao Chuan, who was sitting next to them and listening to them, felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.

Originally, according to Liu Qin's intention, the matter was to cooperate and make some money to subsidize Xishu.

But once these words were spoken, the situation became much worse than they had imagined.

The other party is counting on Daqian to make a lot of money.

The meaning of a lot of people is that it far exceeds Qin Ming's expectations.

"Thirty to fifty thousand?"

Qin Ming sighed and tentatively said a number.

Liu Qin smiled awkwardly, shook his head and said nothing.

"Eighty or ninety thousand?"

Qin Ming increased the number again, thinking that it was already a lot no matter what.

But Liu Qin still didn't say anything.

With an embarrassed look on his face, he lowered his head, took a full glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"You tell me yourself."

Qin Ming no longer wanted to guess.

When poor relatives come to visit, the most they can do is eat and take things away.

Liu Qin, on the other hand, came to Qin Ming's house with the intention of emptying it out.

"A little less, 150,000, is that okay?"

In the end, he gave Qin Ming a shocking number.

"One hundred and fifty thousand?"

Qin Ming was frightened. Liu Qin was really rude.

But now that King Shenmu has passed by, he and Fang Yuanjian are still needed as a buffer zone, and he is now also a member of Daqian.

From the way he spoke, 150,000 wasn't even their limit.

Bringing such a large number of laborers here would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver every day.

And they don’t even take their wages.

"Too many. Why do I need so many people?"

Qin Ming declined without hesitation.

Western Shu has experienced some wars and now there are refugees everywhere in the country.

It costs money to manage these refugees. Food, shelter, medical treatment, any one of them is a huge expense for the Western Shu court.

Unfortunately, after many wars, Western Shu no longer had much silver on hand.

Now he has no choice but to ask Qin Ming for money with a flattering face.

Although the words sound nice, I am here to seek cooperation.

But in fact, their behavior is just to ask for money.

Without silver, the Western Shu court would be in name only.

Liu Qin is a man who can bend and stretch.

Since I have taken refuge with Qin Ming, I will be humble and hope that he can understand me and help him deal with some refugees.

Having said that, he didn't waste any more words and told all the problems of Western Shu.

"Western Shu is overrun with refugees, and the imperial court has insufficient cases and has long been unable to control them."

"You can't even take the territory allocated to you?"

Hearing this, Qin Ming suddenly realized the most important issue.

He allocated a piece of land in the Western Regions to Liu Qin.

When the other party knew that they could expand the territory, they immediately agreed excitedly.

But now it seems that they don't even have the power to expand their territory.

"This one……"

Liu Qin was speechless.

In fact, he didn't want to talk about this when he came here today.

He just wanted to send his troops over as soon as possible after Qin Ming took over a group of refugees.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming could not hide his little thoughts at all.

"Seventy thousand, I only want seventy thousand."

In the silence, Qin Ming finally spoke slowly and said a number.

There are too many people in the Western Regions to use up, let alone Liu Qin's people.

Even if Qin Ming got these 70,000 laborers, he had no idea where to put them.

In the end, they even had to pay them a few months' wages for free, provide them with food and drink, and then send them back to Xishu.

Liu Qin could see the gradual disappointment in Qin Ming's eyes.

Not only could they not help, but Xishu was actually dragging its feet.

"Okay, that's all for today. Enjoy your meal, everyone."

After Qin Ming said the number of 70,000, he did not give Liu Qin any chance to argue. After drinking the last glass of wine, he turned around and left.

Cao Chuan followed out and whispered:

"Your Majesty, with 70,000 men, we don't even have enough tents to split up. The ordinary laborers from the Western Regions are now sleeping with our troops, with more than 30 people crammed into one tent."

"They were too afraid to turn over every day. Some soldiers even developed sores on their bodies."

Cao Chuan and his men have been leading their troops to take over refugees from all over the place.

Thanks to their efforts, many people have successfully integrated into their construction team.

The refugees in the Western Regions have basically been dealt with.

But this has reached their limit.

If we squeeze more people in, I'm afraid Cao Chuan and his men won't be able to hold on.

"Don't worry, they have somewhere to go."

Qin Ming has already thought about how to accommodate them.

Hearing this, Cao Chuan asked curiously:

"Where?"

"Hua Yuanzheng, he said the last emperor of the Snow Country seemed very wealthy."

"That's too far. If they go there, will they be able to return to Xishu?"

The method of sending it by the website is indeed good, but there is a small problem now.

The labor force was sent from Western Shu in order to earn money.

They don't necessarily really want to abandon these populations.

"As many as can be brought back, let them come back. Do you really think Liu Qin will take the trouble to bring them all back?"

Qin Ming saw through this matter very clearly.

After they agreed to take over this group of laborers.

The next day, another train arrived in the city.

The person who came was Hua Yuanzheng.

The war in the Western Regions ended, and along with it, the turmoil in the surrounding kingdoms also ended.

Those who come here now all want to take advantage of the situation when everything is in ruins.

“This train is really something.”

As soon as he got off the train, Hua Yuanzheng praised Cao Chuan who came to greet him.

After the two introduced each other, Cao Chuan brought him to Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty of Daqian, I am on a Chinese expedition."

Hua Yuanzheng greeted Qin Ming very warmly.

Qin Ming also smiled and chatted with him for a few words.

"I already know the reason why you came here today. Don't worry, I have already arranged for someone to handle the matter in the Snow Country."

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"

Hua Yuanzheng saw that Qin Ming had already nodded before he even opened his mouth.

At this moment, I suddenly felt overjoyed.

Just when he was filled with joy, Qin Ming suddenly asked him:

"I heard that you have been contacting restoration forces in various kingdoms recently."

"This……"

Hua Yuanzheng's expression suddenly changed.

He did this very secretly and thought it was flawless.

But at some point, it was discovered.

Qin Ming actually already knew what he was doing behind the scenes.
