Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 136: Fighting with the Village Bully

The two came in front of the crowd.

Li Erniu was still excitedly talking about his ideas, and openly obstructing the personnel allocation of the textile factory.

"His Highness is here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted first, and then everyone made way.

Qin Ming walked in from the outside, and Li Erniu's momentum suddenly weakened.

He who was still shouting just now also stopped at this moment.

"I'm asking you, who said they'd reduce your wages?"

Qin Ming's voice came slowly.

Everyone looked at Li Erniu, who had been so arrogant just now.

As for Li Erniu, he was hesitant at the moment:

"Isn't that what the notice means..."

This matter was originally his own imagination.

The reason why he didn't want to let people go was because he had people from several different areas under his command.

These people were very close to the workshop and dyeing house, and they all begged to leave.

Seeing that they were eager to leave, Li Erniu naturally didn't want to let go.

He had worked so hard to train them into his confidants that they could even act tyrannically in the textile factory.

If they leave, I will replace them with a new group of people.

Then my status in the textile factory will definitely be greatly reduced.

Ultimately, he's still pursuing his own selfish desires.

"Do not."

At this moment, Qin Ming waved his hand decisively, then turned around and assured everyone:

"We're splitting up the factory just for the sake of production efficiency! We absolutely won't reduce your wages!"

"I'm putting this on notice. From today on, anyone who dares to lower your wages will be hacked to death immediately, and I won't hesitate!"

……

The crowd fell silent.

Li Erniu's face looked very ugly.

Qin Ming made such a strict guarantee.

This made his previous behavior seem like a clown.

Now many people are looking at him, hoping that he will come forward to explain.

Qin Ming didn't indulge him either.

"Li Erniu, have I made my statement clear enough?"

"Brother Erniu, what's going on?"

"His Highness said that he would not reduce our treatment, so let's..."

The younger brothers behind him could no longer contain themselves and hurriedly came up to ask Li Erniu.

Being pushed to this point, Li Erniu also became furious and gritted his teeth and started to throw dirty water on Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, what you said sounds good! Our factory has so many people but they are inefficient. If we transfer some of them out, will efficiency be improved?"

Qin Ming glanced at him helplessly.

Any factory has a maximum number of employees it can accommodate. If the number exceeds this, efficiency will inevitably decline.

This is a very profound form of learning.

But many workers, including Li Erniu, could not read a single word.

At this time, there is no way I can explain it to him, and even if I do, they won't understand.

"Yes, reduce the number of people and improve efficiency."

Qin Ming spoke seriously, but found that Li Erniu was laughing.

Even the many originally neutral workers around Li Erniu looked at him strangely.

"Your Highness...this doesn't make sense."

"What exactly do you want to do? Can you tell us the truth, Your Highness? We don't want to be sent out without knowing the reason."

More and more people began to doubt Qin Ming.

Song Dingsheng was a little annoyed.

"Shut up! You won't understand even if I tell you. His Highness will never harm you!"

"Sir Song, aren't you just making far-fetched arguments?"

The workers at the front shrank their necks and muttered a few words even though they were afraid.

"What the hell did you say!?"

Song Dingsheng walked up and grabbed the other person by the collar.

"Okay, don't do it."

Qin Ming saw that something was wrong and reminded Song Dingsheng.

When dealing with outsiders, Qin Ming doesn't mind using the fastest means to physically eliminate the other party.

But now, all the people in these factories are Qin Ming’s own people.

If Song Dingsheng were to take action in front of so many people, they would inevitably become disunited and their reputations would be ruined.

"Your Highness, you'd better tell us the truth, otherwise no one will believe you."

Seeing the situation reversed, Li Erniu took the initiative to attack with a slight smug look on his face.

Now everyone is waiting for Qin Ming's response.

Qin Ming shook his head slightly and said helplessly:

"Li Erniu, you are one of the production team leaders, right?"

"Yes."

Li Erniu shrugged and looked at Qin Ming suspiciously.

"How about this? I'll give you twice as many people as I have. In three days, let's compare our production."

"You want to compete with me in productivity? And you only use half the staff?"

Li Erniu couldn't believe his ears.

"Yes, I want to prove to everyone present here that sometimes having more people is not necessarily a good thing. Many people don't seem to understand the principle of three monks carrying water to eat."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

The reason for such confidence is that Fang Qingyuan has already calculated the optimal number of people to make the textile factory most efficient.

Since he could calculate, Qin Ming divided the factory into two areas and compared them with Li Erniu.

"I could use twice as many people, but you won't play tricks, will you?"

Li Erniu is very confident in himself. He is one of the production team leaders and is familiar with all the processes.

With twice the number of people, his output will definitely be higher than Qin Ming's.

"illiteracy."

Song Dingsheng snorted coldly beside him.

He has learned a lot from following Fang Qingyuan these days.

Looking at Li Erniu now is like looking at a fool.

Li Erniu straightened his back a little when he saw that he had gained the upper hand.

"Don't scold me, I just don't want the textile factory that I built with so much effort to decline."

"By the way, Your Highness, since we're making a bet, shouldn't there be some kind of prize?"

Having said that, Li Erniu looked at Qin Ming and rubbed his hands greedily.

He was so bold that he even dared to blackmail Qin Ming.

"of course can."

Qin Ming smiled and took out a silver note worth one thousand taels.

"You win this and the textile factory policy will be cancelled."

Qin Ming restrained his smile and continued in a deeper voice:

"But if you lose, you'll be fired. Linjiang City and all the businesses under the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce will never employ you or your family again!"

hiss!

Everyone gasped.

Now everyone knows that Lingnan is completely the territory of King Qin and the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.

If neither of these two sides gives him food, Li Erniu will be finished!

"Okay, I promise you, but you have to promise not to cause me any trouble after I win."

Li Erniu looked at Qin Ming deeply. Until now, he was still very confident.

Winning this match is a foregone conclusion.

However, we must prepare for Qin Ming's revenge in advance.

"I would never do such a thing. There are so many people watching here, so don't worry."

"Good! Your Highness is indeed a straightforward person. Erniu admires you!"

Li Erniu laughed out loud.

"Let's start now, Old Song, go get Fang Qingyuan."
