Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Your Highness, it must have been Zhuge Facai who did this yesterday. This guy is so shady!"

I remembered the threats Zhuge Facai made to them before leaving yesterday.

At this moment, Fang Qingyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Their workshop is very impressive and they were able to produce many similar tricycles in a short period of time."

Fang Qingyuan's words stunned all the soldiers present.

They hadn't reacted just now, but now they understand that they seemed to have caused a big disaster.

"It was so dark last night, they came with more than a dozen people and pushed us into the fields."

"When we caught up with them, they had already loaded the things onto the carriage and ran away. A few of them even had a fight with us..."

They quickly recounted what happened last night.

"Can you recognize the person?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly and looked at several people.

"I can't recognize them, Your Highness. They were all wearing black veils to cover their faces yesterday and they ran very fast. Plus, it was so dark, I couldn't tell who they were at all."

"He's such a seasoned veteran."

Hearing this, Qin Ming sighed deeply.

Cao Chuan and Fang Qingyuan were both silent. Is it really possible that they can't make this business?

Fang Qingyuan sat on the ground dejectedly.

Some flames of revenge were ignited yesterday, but they were extinguished in an instant.

As long as the other party also masters the technology of tricycles, it will definitely deal a huge blow to Qin Ming. Their freight costs will be reduced and the price of cloth will also be reduced.

Just when they were completely desperate, they found that Qin Ming, who had sighed, suddenly raised the corner of his mouth with a playful look on his face.

"Fortunately, I have other means."

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Fang Qingyuan and Cao Chuan's eyes lit up.

"What kind of tricycle did he move yesterday?"

Qin Ming did not reply, but they asked a question.

Several soldiers immediately explained:

“It’s just an ordinary tricycle.”

"Yes, in that case, we'll install the tires in a few days."

Qin Ming smiled slightly.

What he said made Cao Chuan a little confused.

"Your Highness, what does this have to do with tires?"

Fang Qingyuan suddenly understood.

"Are you going to cheat them?"

"Yes, it won't be too late to wait until they have made the tricycles. Once they start delivering goods, we can install those tires on them. The tricycles will be fast and save energy, and we can still suppress them."

Qin Ming's words stunned them all.

"I see."

Hearing this, Cao Chuan burst into laughter, and several people's faces showed understanding.

On the other side, he asked his men to carry the tricycle back to the yard where he lived.

Zhuge Fa Cai was already extremely excited.

"This King Qin is really capable. He can even come up with such a time-saving and labor-saving tool."

"With this thing, we can just find some laborers and have them transport things along the official road. It's cheaper than using horses, haha."

This statement made the surrounding subordinates hesitate.

"Master, Huxi is very far away from Lingnan. Even by horseback it would take seven or eight days to get there. If they were to use this thing and travel day and night, it would be faster, but they would be very tired."

"What? Are you still worried that no one will do it?"

Zhuge Facai glanced at them and said disdainfully:

"Isn't the price of horse fodder much more expensive than these untouchables?"

"I've noticed you guys just don't know how to save money. Every day, no wonder you brainless bastards can't become hall masters!"

After being scolded, everyone had to lower their heads and dared not say anything.

Take advantage of the time when all the shops are open during the day.

Zhuge Fa Cai found a few carpenters and asked them to dismantle the tricycle.

After studying the structure inside and drawing a map, he quickly had it sent back to Huxi.

"Hurry up! It must be delivered within three days. I want to see it delivered within ten days."

A look of pride of revenge appeared on Zhuge Facai's face.

With this thing, the price of your goods will be lower when doing business here.

By then, even if Qin Ming and Fang Qingyuan came and knelt on the ground begging for mercy,

He will never give it a chance!

When I think about the fact that in a few days they might come to me and admit their mistakes, I feel really bad.

At this moment, Zhuge Facai felt relaxed all over.

"Let's go out for a drink."

Walking on the street, he met Qin Ming and Fang Qingyuan coming back from outside the city at the same time last night.

"Oh, isn't this His Highness?"

Fortunately, Zhuge Facai did not seek to humiliate Fang Qingyuan this time, but came directly to Qin Ming in a carefree manner.

"Why, wasn't the beating you received last night enough? You're trying to get your face in front of me again today?"

Qin Ming looked at him coldly.

In order not to alert him, I pretended to be angry and repulsive.

Now both sides know what Zhuge Facai has done.

There was no need to hide Zhuge's wealth.

"Haha, Your Highness, I came here today to thank you!"

"These past few days I've noticed several uniquely shaped tricycles in your city. I happened to be researching them, and last night, I somehow figured out how to make them!"

"So I'm telling you in advance today that if our Chamber of Commerce also has a tricycle in a few days, I hope you won't be surprised, hahahaha..."

His wild laughter echoed through the streets.

Fang Qingyuan couldn't help it immediately.

"You shameless bastard! Having a businessman like you is a disgrace to Huxi!"

"Are you furious? It's okay! When I get the things back in a few days, you'll know the price of punching me."

Zhuge became very ostentatious in his wealth, relying on the productivity of their workshops in the west of the lake.

It is definitely possible to make something within a few days.

In addition, there is the support of the Governor of Huguang behind the scenes.

As long as this mission is completed, Qin Ming's business will be successfully destroyed.

Then after he returns, he must not record it in the merit book!

The next president of Huxi Chamber of Commerce must be me!

"You'll pay the price."

Qin Ming spoke lightly, sounding like he was threatening Zhuge Facai.

But in the eyes of Zhuge Fa Cai now.

Qin Ming's threat had no force at all.

Instead, it seemed like a joke and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhuge Facai pointed to the restaurant next to him and asked Qin Ming with a smile:

"Your Highness, I'm in a good mood today and I'm going to have some wine. How about you come with me?"

"I can treat you to a drink. I heard that you have been in Lingnan for such a long time and have never enjoyed yourself!"

"You don't have any money, do you?"

It is well known that Lingnan is very poor and Qin Ming has no support from the imperial court.

Just as he was mocking Qin Ming, a voice suddenly came over:

"Your Highness, we never charge you for drinks at our restaurant. We're so polite to you! It's just that he's busy with government affairs and doesn't want to come!"
