Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Looking at the silver bills piled up like a small mountain in the warehouse.

Qin Ming's heart was pounding.

Picking up the account book, he took a quick glance and noticed the number recorded in the lower right corner.

Three hundred and thirty thousand taels!

It only took less than half a month to prepare and make a single trip, but he made a profit of 330,000 taels of silver!

“This is like picking up money!”

Although this is enough to make them take risks.

But Wan Shu whispered to Qin Ming:

"This business can only be done two or three times at most, and then it can't continue."

If they do this a few more times, they can exchange most of the scarce supplies in the entire Lingnan.

The rest is for internal circulation, used for construction and military camp expenses, etc.

This way most of the money will not be used to pay taxes.

They only needed to maintain the most basic trade and pay part of the so-called 60% tax to the court.

Based on Qin Ming's understanding of Emperor Qian, this old man certainly does not want to leave behind a reputation as a tyrant.

If the 60% tax continues.

Qin Ming didn’t know about other people, but the people below him would definitely curse him every day.

I also have to make a voodoo doll for the old Emperor Qian at home.

"The last two or three runs will be enough to last until the tax increase is lifted."

Once I solve the problem this time, I will have millions of silver.

This money can not only be used to pay off the debt owed to the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce during the previous invasion by the Southern Barbarians, but also to make up for the military pay owed in the military camp.

You might even have a few extra months of money left over.

"Yes, but recently merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang seem to be reducing their contact with us."

"Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the Xiao family's territory, right?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly.

These two places were very wealthy. With the support of Concubine Xiao Shufei, the local Xiao family took control of many businesses in just a few years.

Not only did it provide the court with more than one million taels of tax every year.

It also made the family rank among the best in the entire Daqian and become extremely powerful!

The reason why Concubine Xiao Shufei had such strong confidence in the court was partly due to the support of the Xiao family.

"Yes."

Seeing that Qin Ming knew the situation of the Xiao family, Wan Shu didn't say anything more.

"I'll check it out, don't act rashly."

Qin Ming frowned slightly when he thought of the Xiao family's status in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Did the couple in the palace have a plan?

After finding Cao Chuan, Qin Ming told him about the things in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"Recently, people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang have come here. If they use our highways for business, please pay more attention to their situations."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will keep a close eye on them."

Cao Chuan is very down-to-earth in his work, and now he is in charge of military affairs in the Wuwei camp.

Liu Chuang was training his troops, while the stationing of soldiers from outside the Great Wall in mines and other places and their exchanges with the Southern Barbarians were controlled by Wu Qingye, who had been guarding the mines.

Seeing Wuweiying thriving and gradually getting on the right track, the future is promising.

Qin Ming's own pressure was reduced a lot.

Walking in the military camp, Qin Ming filled a bowl of their multi-grain porridge, drank it in a few mouthfuls, and then came to the farm.

Song Dingsheng has been staying here recently.

The improvement of animal husbandry has a huge impact on the entire Linjiang City.

Meat, which was rarely available before, is now a little more abundant.

"How's the breeding going lately?"

Qin Ming walked forward and asked Song Dingsheng.

Song Dingsheng looked embarrassed.

"Your Highness, there were several outbreaks of chicken plague a few days ago, and a bunch of them died. I'm raising them separately now, so at least they won't die in large numbers just because of the disease."

After some trial and error, Song Dingsheng and his team have begun decentralized breeding.

The farm was divided into several locations in the east, south, west and north of Linjiang City.

In these areas, pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese are evenly distributed for breeding.

This method prevents the spread and development of diseases in poultry and livestock.

Although this is a stupid method, the medical and health level in this era is really too low.

Just like the penicillin that Qin Ming told Wan Shu before, it is actually useful for breeding.

It’s a pity that it hasn’t been done yet.

The difficulty lies in collecting Penicillium from moldy food and fruit and cultivating it.

This has very strict environmental requirements. Wan Shu and his team have just started trying it, so the progress is naturally slow.

Seeing Qin Ming lost in thought, Song Dingsheng thought that His Highness was blaming him for his poor performance.

So he quickly changed the subject and started to announce the good news.

"But your highness, we can now produce hundreds of eggs every day, and each one costs two cents."

"And the pork, when it's fattened up and slaughtered, it can be sold for ten taels of silver."

"Those sheep are easy to raise. Find a few kids and have them herd them every day. I estimate the number of sheep can be increased several times in a year..."

Song Dingsheng chattered to Qin Ming about the results of the breeding.

Seeing Qin Ming's frown finally relax, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's supply these eggs, such as chicken, duck, and goose eggs, to the military camp first."

Qin Ming started farming in order to increase the nutritional intake of soldiers in the barracks.

Only by eating well can you have the strength to fight.

Although we are not able to provide them with meat every meal yet.

But if you lower the standards, eggs can also be considered a meat dish.

"Huh? That probably won't be enough to eat."

Song Dingsheng knew how many people were in Qin Ming's Wuwei Camp now.

With so many mouths to feed, the current breeding scale can only supply about a thousand people at most.

"It's okay. Take as much as you can. Take the things out on the basis that you can cover the cost and make half the profit."

"The Huxi Chamber of Commerce will probably sell low-priced poultry and livestock to you again in the next couple of days. I'll give you another batch for breeding then."

He Jiaming, the president of Huxi Chamber of Commerce, is a ruthless person.

He knew Qin Ming's situation and guessed that no one would dare to do business with him.

So they took the least valuable poultry and other things from their place and sent them to Qin Ming to make money.

In Huxi, an old sow of similar weight might only be worth eight taels of silver.

But if it is sent to Lingnan, where supplies are scarce, it can be sold for ten taels.

The poorer you are, the more expensive certain scarce things are.

Qin Ming naturally knew what this guy was thinking. Seeing that he had no choice, he wanted to take advantage of him without any hesitation.

But what the other party doesn't know is that for others, they have to rely on purchasing and let others take advantage of them.

It's a win-win situation in Qin Ming's hands.

After all, his farm has been almost completed.

Now that the infrastructure is guaranteed, the next step is to expand the scale and improve the quality of these farmhouses.

Just like the structure of the chicken coop, insulation, permeability, etc., all need to be properly handled.

Qin Ming stayed at the farm for a few days and collected a batch of eggs.

On this day, he was preparing to go to the military camp.

Looking at the entire tricycle full of eggs, Qin Ming's mouth curled up.

There is definitely not enough eggs to eat in the military camp.

It was just right to select a group of soldiers to be used as the trump cards of the Wuwei Camp.
