Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 764: Unbridled Development, No One Cares

Qin Ming still had some doubts about the strength of the Datong Sect.

In the fight between multiple parties, each force used all its means.

But at this moment, none of them had expected that such a huge force would emerge in the chaotic war.

Chen Shimao knew Qin Ming would ask this question, so he smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, why don't you ask them how much silver they will give to purchase our arms?"

"How many?"

"Six million taels of silver."

The number Chen Shimao said surprised Qin Ming.

"Did they get all this from this war?"

"Yes."

Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"War is still the fastest way to make money."

Qin Ming knew very well how those people made money.

They don't have any property of their own.

Since the war began, they have been constantly recruiting believers.

And the entire battlefield was brought under surveillance.

As long as there is any sign of trouble, they will take action.

Especially when seeing the carriages transporting silver and weapons and equipment.

They will try to snatch some of it back.

When the looting started, Chu Ying and the Western Regions coalition forces hated them deeply.

Out of ten shipments of supplies, only seven or eight may be received.

Although there will be losses when transporting supplies during normal times.

But ever since the appearance of the Datong sect, their losses have become increasingly greater.

This led them to continuously suppress the Datong sect in the initial period.

But in the process of suppression, they found that the other side was developing very quickly and was everywhere.

No matter how hard we tried to clean them up, people from the Datong sect would still show up.

These guys are refugees who have experienced war and are not afraid of anything. Once they get stuck, they are like taffy and cannot be shaken off.

It's impossible for me to turn the entire Western Region upside down.

That would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but you might also be killed by the enemy.

As time went on, both sides discovered that the people of the Datong sect were not only robbing themselves but also their enemies.

This reduced their aversion to the Datong Sect.

Later on, the Datong sect became even more cultured.

The number of people they stopped and robbed each time was only around 20%.

At least when someone sends ten supplies, you can still get seven or eight.

After discovering this problem.

Chu Ying's militia and the Western Region coalition forces miraculously found it acceptable.

When this thought came up, they themselves felt embarrassed...

But you really have to accept it.

Anyway, you can’t kill them all, so whoever wants can kill them.

The Datong sect is very vocal, but has never caused any major trouble.

Since we only lost a portion of the supplies, we won't bother with them.

The Western Region coalition forces and militia forces who had this idea all lay down.

Just grab it.

It was because of them that the water was released.

The development of the Datong sect also began to become more rapid.

"They encountered several major events during this period, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to create so many supplies and silver."

Seeing that Qin Ming was somewhat unconvinced, Chen Shimao mentioned some other experiences of the Datong sect.

"You mean those three banks?"

Qin Ming knew that the Western Region coalition forces had launched a siege for several days around the three banks under Chu Ying.

During this period, huge amounts of silver were being transferred from the banks all the time.

This directly created a paradise for the Datong sect.

They robbed any convoy transporting silver.

During this period, the Western Region Allied Forces took control of a money house and frantically transported silver out.

Chu Ying was afraid that the other two banks would fall into the hands of the enemy, so he also frantically transported silver out.

One was trying to rob, the other to preserve their property, both were in a hurry.

Even if there were sect members looting, which would cause huge losses, they still went ahead with it...

No one has ever counted how much silver was lost in the war, let alone who got the silver.

What they could not have imagined was that the biggest winner was actually the Datong Sect.

Such unscrupulous looting gave them unprecedented confidence.

They even included Western Shu in the scope of looting.

Western Shu would certainly not tolerate them. Unlike the militia and the Western Regions coalition forces, they did not let them go and chased and fought them for nearly half a month.

This caused heavy casualties to the Datong sect.

And because of the involvement of Xishu, the Datong sect's recent robbery has not been going well.

Finally, they were forced into a real rage.

This led to the matter being reported to the higher authorities, and several elders joined together to find Chen Shimao.

"You mean to say that you hope I can give them arms and let these people wipe out Xishu first?"

"That's what they mean now. After all, Xishu's interference will create a lot of uncertainty in the situation."

"Besides them, there is also Fang Yuanjian."

Qin Ming added another goal.

It was indeed inappropriate for Fang Yuanjian to stretch his hand so far.

Daqian was so close and hadn't taken any action yet, but Fang Yuanjian actually ran to the Western Regions to take charge of things.

If there is a chance, it would be best to kill this group of people first, so that you can take over the Western Regions in the future.

"Don't worry about that. I've asked them to do it, but Fang Yuanjian's men seem to be very well behaved recently. They haven't dared to provoke anyone other than the Western Region Alliance."

Fang Yuanjian is an extremely smart person.

He didn't want to make enemies everywhere when the situation was extremely chaotic.

What's more, he is now being chased and attacked by the imperial court in the territory of Shenmu Kingdom. He is in a difficult situation and can hardly save himself.

"Alright, have someone deposit this money into the national treasury and prepare to invest it in the research and development of electricity."

Ever since Qin Ming invented the generator and built some small power plants.

The entire dynasty has the momentum to enter the new technological level.

Just entering the electrical age still requires a lot of research and development and investment.

Even though Qin Ming has some basic theories, actual practice still requires various materials and continuous attempts by top craftsmen in the workshop.

Therefore, the expenses during this period are naturally very high.

However, the continuous wars in recent times have caused huge losses to the national treasury.

In order to maintain the operation of the court, Qian Cai resisted Qin Ming's pressure and directly cut the workshop's expenses by half.

This also made many senior craftsmen in the workshop very dissatisfied with this guy.

Qin Ming heard that the Ministry of Revenue had issued an order to cut spending.

When Qian Cai returned home that night, someone threw a dung bucket at his courtyard wall.

Fortunately, after the factory had been running for a period of time, Qin Ming had enough goods to trade overseas and brought back a large amount of silver.

This silver, together with the silver given by the Datong Sect, should be enough to continue research in the electrical age.

As long as they can produce some technological products of the electrical age, perhaps Daqian's strength can be further advanced.
