This is just a recent concern. If we look at the long term, whether it's the lords of Venice or the noble families and aristocrats in the west of Great Xia, if they lose this large sum of money, can you still expect their private armies and retainers to maintain their powerful and formidable state?
It should be understood that once the orcs change their strategy, first entering the Western Regions and then defeating them one by one in the east and west, the first to bear the brunt will be these powerful families in the Western Regions, which are used as a border barrier by the empire.
Qin Mo spread out a sheet of paper and began to reply to Wang Yushi.
First, he described in detail what he had seen and heard in the Western Continent, and then specifically explained the current strategy and situation of the Western Continent Temple in fighting against the Orcs, as well as the aid from the Great Xia, the importance of the Silk Road to the Western Continent Temple, and the consequences caused by both sides losing control of the Silk Road.
His own fleet could handle the transportation of aid from Great Xia to the Holy Temple, but would the officials of the Great Xia court trust him? Moreover, even if Qin Mo's current ocean-going fleet were to expand several times over, it would still be unable to handle all the trade between Great Xia and the Western Continent. That involved more than just one or two noble families, and Qin Mo was unwilling to get involved in such a troublesome and exhausting affair.
At the end of the letter, Qin Mo expressed his great admiration for the clothes and shoes made by Wang Yushi, and praised her stitching and embroidery skills.
After a final thought, he added a sentence at the end of the letter: "How loyal are the Royal Guards you are building? If I had Type 2 rifles, would they be worth the high price you would pay to purchase them?"

When she saw the last sentence at the end of the letter, she was stunned for a moment, and finally closed her eyes to ponder.
Wang Yushi understood Qin Mo's meaning. The Type 2 rifle was not the problem, but would the Royal Guard, which she had built up over many years with countless sums of money, truly obey her completely? With a single verbal order from Emperor Zhaowu, the Royal Infantry Regiment that she wanted to transfer to Suyab was stopped.
"Loyal and righteous? Ha, he used to be loyal and righteous too..."
Wang Yushi's heroic figure sat alone in the empty Fengning Palace, lonely and forlorn.
"Hmph! My personal guards naturally obey me, and must... obey me!"
