Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

As soon as the notice was issued.

The next day, Wan Shu came to the military camp and found Qin Ming.

"You want to expand your business to the west of the lake?"

"To be precise, I want to make back the money from Huxi."

Qin Ming explained seriously.

Just doing business in Lingnan, no matter how big it is, there is only so much money to be made.

But it’s different in Huxi. If you do business there, you can earn back other people’s money.

This can be regarded as expanding their local market share.

"I see."

Wan Shu raised the corners of her pretty mouth and smiled cunningly.

"I wonder if there's a chance for me to help His Highness?"

"How do you want to help?"

"Give the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce tax exemptions so we can do business and make the money back."

Daqian’s commercial taxes were too heavy.

Under the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, commercial taxes can be as high as half.

So they really hoped that the court would exempt them from taxes.

As long as it's tax-free, you can make money no matter what you do!

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment. This woman was the most greedy person he had ever seen.

First they wanted rubber, then they wanted penicillin, and now they even want tax exemption.

If I marry her, she will be plotted against and killed.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming immediately shook his head.

“Tax exemption is not possible, but reduction is possible.”

"How do you reduce it? 10%?"

Wan Shu's eyes lit up.

Qin Ming glanced at her and continued to shake his head.

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. If you waive 10%, the reduced cost will be enough for you to go out and compete with your peers without restraint."

"If the scale of your transactions becomes too large and is discovered by those in the imperial court, I can protect you within Lingnan, but will you be able to leave Lingnan in the future?"

"Then how can you exempt me?"

Wan Shu stared at Qin Ming, wanting to hear his opinion.

"It's simple. I'll give you some tax-free credits every month to help offset some of your taxes. How about that?"

"So stingy? How dare you open your mouth?"

An expression of disbelief appeared on Wan Shu's face.

"I'm already stressed out by the free highways, so let's not even count it."

Qin Ming pushed the freshly ground ink aside, and Wan Shu immediately pounced on him.

"Humph, yes, of course!"

"But can we negotiate the price?"

"Maybe I can trade myself for more with you?"

The soft body leaned gently on Qin Ming.

A faint fragrance lingers at the tip of the nose, which is not pungent, but rather tempting. A warm breath coming from the ears makes people feel itchy.

Wan Shu, this woman, is definitely using high-end products. Even someone like Qin Ming who doesn't know much about rouge and powder can smell it.

Qin Ming first took advantage of the chaos to touch the other person's thigh, then picked him up and straightened him up.

"Impossible. With my small fortune, how can I go against the wealthy Shang Zong?"

"I think you're afraid of being discovered by Xiaoyue?"

Wan Shu gently took her little fist and hit Qin Ming's arm.

Qin Ming looked at her coquettish look and tried to tease her.

Suddenly he walked forward gently and grabbed her soft waist.

"Wouldn't that be more exciting?"

Wan Shu's face changed slightly and he quickly took two steps back.

She was startled by what Qin Ming said.

She straightened her clothes and blushed as she quickly changed the subject.

“How much reduction are you going to give me?”

"How big a fuss can you make? As far as I know, there's no conflict between the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce and the Huxi Chamber of Commerce. If you make a big fuss and create enmity, the losses will be huge, which is not in line with the style of a businessman like you."

"That's true, but compared to them, Your Highness, your value is clearly greater. We businessmen are very good at making choices."

Wan Shu explained seriously.

She has a good eye and I don't think she will make a mistake.

"Then it's thirty thousand taels. If you perform well in the future, I'll increase it."

……

"After all this time, it's only thirty thousand taels? Pah!"

Hearing the price, Wan Shu spat, flicked his sleeves and left.

Qin Ming looked at the graceful figure leaving and felt a little worried.

I hope this girl won’t get angry and quit.

That's a bit of a loss.

In the evening, Cao Chuan and Liu Chuang ran back to the military camp, followed by a row of empty tricycles.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ming stepped forward with some doubts and said:

"Where did it come from? Did you rob Zhuge Facai?"

"No, the Huxi Chamber of Commerce quit, so we bought it at a low price."

"That's not right. Even if Zhuge Facai is gone, the tricycle can still be used by them."

Qin Ming frowned, Cao Chuan smiled and said:

"The Huxi Chamber of Commerce may not know about this yet. Zhuge Facai is as timid as a mouse. He uses his position as the hall master to do many things secretly."

"So when we found those rickshaw drivers, they had nothing to do because Zhuge Facai was arrested, and even their rickshaws were stored there."

"As soon as we proposed the idea of ​​buying a tricycle, they eagerly stuffed the things into our hands and went home with the money for the trip."

After listening to their explanation, Qin Ming was speechless.

Actually, it is understandable if you think about it. After all, they are just people who do their work, and naturally they have no friendship with an employer like Zhuge Facai.

What's more, Zhuge Fa Cai and Ku Chan didn't treat them as human beings.

Now that the big tree has fallen, the best option is to sell the things and leave yourself some money to run away.

"That's perfect! The mine has recently sent a batch of supplies over. We don't need to take the tricycle anymore. Let's start forging weapons and equipment!"

Qin Ming waved his hand and began to arrange the affairs of the military camp.

Their weapons and equipment had already suffered considerable damage in the invasion of the Southern Barbarians.

Today, the Wuwei Camp has not only expanded, but also added more than 20,000 soldiers.

With so many people around, things are bound to become a little troublesome.

Qin Ming has managed to collect some military rations and wages recently.

But the weapons and equipment are really inadequate.

I can only ask Wu Qingye to transport the things over as soon as possible so that I can make some supplies for the military camp myself.

"Your Highness, Wu Qingye seems to have done a lot of things in Nanman. Would you like to go and take a look?"

At this time, Cao Chuan asked tentatively.

Only then did Qin Ming remember that he had indeed said before that he wanted to go to the border mine.

"Then let's do it in the next few days. I'll wait for the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce to finish its business before leaving."

Hearing Qin Ming say this, Cao Chuan frowned and said:

"Your Highness, is there anything else you haven't finished?"

"It's hard to say. I don't know what they will do."

The Lingnan Chamber of Commerce is going to Huxi to do business, and this trip is like a dragon crossing the river.

The Huxi Chamber of Commerce has suffered a great loss and will definitely not sit idly by.

If he was not there, Qin Ming was worried that Wan Shuping would not be able to handle the matter.

"That's fine."

Cao Chuan didn't bother about it. Many things were beyond his control. He just bowed and left.

Qin Ming looked at the sky and rushed towards Linjiang City.

He wanted to discuss tax exemption with Song Dingsheng.
