Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 297 The theft plan in the Western Regions

Along with a new batch of goods sent to the Western Regions.

A new round of discussions among the countries in the Western Regions has also begun.

The King of Loulan and the King of Tubo are still leading the charge.

On this day, the Yuezhi, Uighur, Mohan and Kucha.

Even the rulers of extremely distant countries such as Dayuan and Wusun gathered together.

The King of Loulan looked at the people gathered together, and said with a helpless look on his face:

"Everyone, we may have to go through some hard times recently, but fortunately, the Daqian Dynasty is still trading with us, and a new batch of silk will be delivered soon."

"But they are now caught up in a war. This batch of supplies may arrive a little later, but it will definitely help everyone solve their urgent needs."

Such meaningless remarks were directly interrupted by the King of Dayuan.

"King of Loulan, don't make it sound so easy. Our problem now is the silk. Isn't it the lack of refined salt?"

"It's fine for the common people, but we can't even supply the royal family!"

"Shouldn't your country, Loulan, be the one to figure out a solution? If you and the Tubo countries hadn't called on everyone to join forces and put pressure on Qin Ming, how could we have ended up like this?"

The power of Dayuan was also very strong.

But they do not border Loulan and Tubo.

The location is in the more western area.

Not afraid of Tubo and Loulan at all.

Just say what you need to say.

His words made the King of Loulan look a little ugly.

"We agreed to this together, but now you're singling Loulan out and asking us to bear the so-called responsibility?"

"Is our alliance meaningless?"

It has come to this.

The King of Dayuan immediately frowned, showing displeasure and obviously unwilling to accept it.

However, since it involved the stability of the alliance, he did not continue the conversation.

The King of Kucha said:

"We, the people of Kucha, have little influence and cannot influence your opinions, but the recent situation is indeed a bit troublesome. As far as we are concerned, we want to ease the relationship with Qin Ming."

"What are you talking about? Are we, the Western Regions, afraid of them?"

At this time, the Uighur king next to him immediately frowned and retorted.

They were a small country next to Loulan.

Everything naturally follows the lead of Loulan and Tubo.

It seemed that everyone was about to start arguing again.

The King of Loulan immediately slapped the table and signaled everyone to be quiet.

"Stop arguing, everyone."

"What we should be thinking about now is how to overcome this difficult time together! The reason the Western Region is so prosperous and stable is because of unity! If we can't even maintain this last bit of unity, we'll be playing right into the enemy's hands!"

His words still carry weight.

Everyone also understood that if a small country like theirs released any one of them.

In front of the behemoths of Daqian, Xishu and the northern tribes, they are nothing.

The reason why we have been able to develop stably for so many years is unity.

This is something that no one can violate.

But at this moment, the Tubo King sneered.

"Unity? I want to laugh when I hear these two words now. You may not know that some people have taken advantage of our unity to secretly gain benefits from Qin Ming!"

"What!?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present suddenly widened their eyes.

"who is it!"

The King of Loulan, the King of Dayuan and others immediately turned their attention to the King of Tubo.

"That's too many. I recently arranged for someone to investigate the countries that previously obtained silk. I got some strange news from these countries."

"Some of the nobles in their country have already started using refined salt!"

"Isn't this ridiculous? Even the places closest to Lingnan, like me and the King of Loulan, haven't obtained refined salt, yet they somehow managed to get it!"

"Here's the list, everyone can take a look!"

The Tubo King threw the list directly on the table.

When they saw this scene, the faces of several kings who were implicated around them all turned pale.

"Let's go back and interrogate those guys right now. They're such traitors!"

They were equally angry.

The King of Loulan has already noticed that the atmosphere is not right.

So the meeting was stopped immediately.

"Everyone has come from afar, please rest here for a few days. I will entertain you. As for this matter, let's wait a few days to find out more before discussing it."

"agree."

The King of Dayuan nodded.

People from countries such as the Uighurs and the Yuezhi also expressed their agreement.

After they were all gone.

The King of Loulan kept the rulers of Dayuan, Tubo, Wusun and other major countries.

"Everyone, Qin Ming's infiltration into the Western Regions has exceeded our imagination. Now if we want to be self-sufficient, it is actually very difficult. I have a solution, and I hope you can work together to help me."

"Tell me about it."

The King of Dayuan nodded lightly.

"We can make our own silk and refined salt, and then develop local mines. This way, we can completely break free from Qin Ming's control."

"This is a big project. Qin Ming has several factories. We don't have the resources to do that, do we?"

Everyone was a little hesitant.

To be honest, there is not much they can do at this stage.

They are also unable to build factories, which require high technical content.

"Don't worry about that. I will arrange for someone to go to Lingnan specifically."

"As long as we can sneak into Qin Ming's factory and learn their technology, we can also build a factory by imitating them."

"I see."

After thinking about it for a moment, everyone felt that it made sense.

"I have some people under my command who I can give to you."

"I'll send some too."

They are all very proactive.

They arranged people to steal technology from Qin Ming.

Seeing that they could all be persuaded, the King of Loulan continued:

"Everyone, this may be our most difficult period, but I believe that as long as we get through it, we will be able to subdue Qin Ming. Then we can re-plan the tax ratio for trade and make countless fortunes."

"understood."

Although everyone knew that what he said was just empty talk.

But it is tempting.

After this small meeting, the King of Loulan and other people gradually dispersed.

That night, a group of people rushed towards the Lingnan area along the border.

At this time, Liu Yueli had already returned to Qin Ming.

"Your Highness, according to our spies, a large number of troops have been dispatched from the Western Regions to enter Lingnan."

"They seemed to have some internal debate, but in the end they didn't fall apart."

Liu Yueli quickly reported the news to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was not surprised that the Western Regions remained strong.

Solidarity is also their means of survival.

It was these people who were suddenly arranged here that made Qin Ming feel a little strange.

"You said a large group of people came. What do they want to do?"
