Chapter 919
Changancheng.
Recently, Qin Mu's attention had been entirely focused on the Western Regions.
If the Western Regions were not in chaos, then Su Dingfang should have been able to conquer the Arabian Empire by now, right?
The rise of the Arabian Empire was entirely built on the head of Persia, and now its national fortune was flourishing.
If they were to forcibly fight the Arabian Empire to the death, Great Qin's losses would not be small.
Let's stabilize for a while first.
The Great Tang side should also know about the chaos in the Western Regions.
Back then, the major clans had sent quite a few people to participate in Great Qin's imperial examination.
The true intention of cooperating with the Great Tang.
Those peripheral clan disciples were all sent to the Western Regions by a single order from Qin Mu.
They suffered greatly in the Western Regions, but it was also just right for them to notify the Great Tang of the current situation.
Would the Great Tang take action against the Western Regions?
This was also one of the purposes of Qin Mu establishing the June Alliance.
People in the martial arts world have keen eyes and ears.
Once the Great Tang wanted to take any action against the Western Regions, it would inevitably not escape the eyes and ears of the June Alliance.
Therefore, Qin Mu was not too worried.
"Your subject Xin Qiji, greets Your Majesty!"
As soon as Xin Qiji received the order, he rushed back from Runzhou without stopping.
At this moment, he was covered in dust.
Qin Mu raised his hand slightly, signaling him to rise.
"General Xin, you are clear about the task of cooperating with the Great Tang to fire porcelain this time, right?"
Xin Qiji hurriedly replied.
"Your Majesty, I rushed back to Changancheng with all speed because there are still some places I do not understand and I need to ask for instructions from Your Majesty in person."
"Hmm?"
Qin Mu was somewhat surprised.
"What else do you not understand?"
Seeing the Emperor's attitude, which seemed not very satisfied, Xin Qiji became nervous.
"For this porcelain firing cooperation, Your Majesty specifically instructed that the technology must not be leaked.
But the types, quality, and quantity of porcelain clay required will all be known to the Great Tang side.
Perhaps they could try to manufacture it?
Should we forcibly prevent this situation?"
Qin Mu understood that Xin Qiji's so-called forcible prevention meant killing to silence them.
Killing Great Tang commoners within the borders of the Great Tang to silence them would be a serious provocation.
It seems Xin Qiji still did not understand his intentions.
"General Xin, it is not that the technology cannot be leaked, but that it cannot be leaked so easily.
It is fine to let the Great Tang side figure out the porcelain firing technology through long-term exploration.
There is no need to guard against it so strictly in this matter."
Oh?
"Your Majesty, I still do not quite understand. If this technology is leaked to the Great Tang, it will no longer be exclusive to Great Qin.
What is the benefit of doing this?"
Xin Qiji truly could not keep up with Qin Mu's thinking.
Generally speaking, technical confidentiality is very necessary.
If only Great Qin could fire such exquisite porcelain.
They could earn very high profits by exporting the porcelain.
Once this technology is known to the Great Tang, the two sides will form competition. Great Qin's interests might be halved.
Xin Qiji could not figure out why the Emperor could be so indifferent to this visible huge loss.
Qin Mu actually attached great importance to this cooperation.
He designated Xin Qiji to be personally responsible.
He also did not want Xin Qiji to be completely confused while doing this important thing.
"General Xin, I hope you understand, do not have such heavy sectarian prejudice in your heart. What is beneficial to the Great Tang and not beneficial to Great Qin?
The craftsmen of the Great Tang and the commoners of the Great Tang will all be Great Qin's in the future!
So, do you understand now?"
Xin Qiji never expected such an answer.
His heart was violently shaken.
"I am dull and failed to possess the broad-mindedness to love the world like Your Majesty!
I understand now; leaking it to the Great Tang is actually also cultivating new Great Qin craftsmen!"
Qin Mu nodded.
Things are just that simple.
The so-called technical confidentiality against the Great Tang is just a smokescreen.
Qin Mu is not afraid of the Great Tang learning it, because no matter what the Great Tang does, it cannot stop Great Qin's pace of unifying the world!
"Besides this, is there anything else you do not understand?"
Xin Qiji felt very ashamed.
The problem he had pondered over and even rushed back to Changancheng for was solved by the Emperor in a few sentences.
The remaining questions were probably also very absurd and ridiculous.
But if Xin Qiji did not ask, he truly could not think of the answers!
"Your Majesty, there is also the fact that wherever there is profit, there will inevitably be clans intervening.
Should I cooperate with the Great Tang clans?"
In Xin Qiji's view, cooperating with those powerful clans might also hollow out the Great Tang bit by bit.
But the Emperor hates clans very much; he did not know if he would agree?
