Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

When he arrived at the textile factory, Qin Ming saw Fang Qingyuan standing at the door, seemingly having been waiting for a long time.

“How much inventory is there?”

Qin Ming couldn't wait to speak, Fang Qingyuan said:

"Your Highness, we already have 93,000 pieces of silk, and the market price is eight taels of silver per piece. If the Nanyang merchant caravan purchases in large quantities, the price will be slightly higher, probably around nine taels."

This price made Qin Ming nod with satisfaction.

"Let's go to Yinshan County."

After the matter was confirmed, Qin Ming did not stay. He arranged for someone to deliver the goods to Yinshan County while he himself prepared to go there.

A few days later, they arrived outside Yinshan County.

Wu Shizhong is already waiting here.

"This is Master Fang, right?"

Wu Shizhong respected Fang Qingyuan very much. As soon as he walked up and saluted Qin Ming, his eyes fell on Fang Qingyuan.

"Do you know?"

Qin Ming looked at Fang Qingyuan in surprise.

The other party shook his head.

Wu Shizhong explained:

"Master Fang helped us plan the future development route of Yinshan County, allowing us to develop with the help of shipyards and ports. I was amazed when I read the article written by Master Fang!"

Fang Qingyuan is very capable. Coming from the Ministry of Households, planning a small county town is naturally a piece of cake for him.

However, even though Wu Shizhong admired him very much, he did not react at all.

"In fact, many of my things were taught by Your Highness."

He explained seriously.

"Your Highness taught you?"

Wu Shizhong was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.

Qin Ming calmly agreed to what Fang Qingyuan said.

He did teach Fang Qingyuan a lot, and it was thanks to his own efforts that he was able to reach where he is today.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they entered the city.

"This is also considered smuggling, so many things should not be made public."

Sitting in the room, Qin Ming asked Wu Shizhong to evacuate everyone around him.

After only the three of them were left, he finally opened up to him.

"I understand, Your Highness."

Wu Shizhong nodded heavily.

Since following Qin Ming, the lives of the people in their county have become completely different from before.

After becoming rich, some people even proposed to move one of the three mountains surrounding Yinshan County.

As long as they spend money, they can recruit enough labor to move the mountain.

Anyway, these three mountains are not very high. If they work hard for half a year and knock down one of them, they will be able to communicate with Linjiang City without any obstacles.

If it had happened before, many people would probably think this was a fantasy.

But now there are many people who support it, and even Wu Shizhong has begun to consider the feasibility of this plan.

"How's the ship going?"

"The shipyard has already started construction. They are currently building several large ships specifically for transporting cargo according to your requirements."

Wu Shizhong is very reliable in his work.

After reporting the situation to Qin Ming one by one, Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction.

"We'll arrange a few small boats to intercept any Nanyang merchant ships we encounter in the next few days."

Qin Ming made deals with the Nanyang merchant caravan, who came with hundreds or thousands of people and dozens of ships at a time.

When there are too many people and too many mouths, the news will definitely leak out.

Before that, he needed to make preparations in advance and discuss everything with the Nanyang caravan as much as possible.

"After we stop them, we will arrange for the leaders of their national caravans to meet with us."

Qin Ming wanted to discuss and finalize this matter privately.

"Yes!"

A few days later, Qin Ming and Fang Qingyuan arrived at the port they had secretly built.

This place is called a port, but all the facilities are actually very simple.

There were only some sheds for storing goods and a group of laborers to transport the goods.

"Your Highness, the construction here is average, but it can already be used as a port."

Wu Shizhong also knew that the area he had built was not very impressive.

So he quickly told Qin Ming some good things.

Qin Ming smiled and nodded.

"It's fine as long as it works. If it's built too well, it will attract other people's attention."

Lingnan has been extremely stable recently, so stable that the imperial court hasn't paid too much attention to it.

Although Qin Ming killed all the shadow guards.

But Emperor Qian was busy with other things and couldn't get away to attack Qin Ming.

For this purpose, Qin Ming also specially arranged a group of people to conduct an investigation.

Only then did they discover that a strange sect seemed to have appeared in the Qianzhong area, called Tianyi Sect, with many believers.

The imperial court sensed the crisis and did not want to allow this kind of underworld sect to develop.

So they arranged soldiers to encircle and suppress the enemy.

I guess I'll be busy for a while.

"Has their fleet been found?"

Fang Qingyuan didn't care about the situation here, he wanted to know more about those fleets.

"They will arrive today. There are more than a dozen people in charge of the fleet. Some of them are old friends of Your Highness, so it will be easy to talk to them."

"However... there are also some newcomers who, after learning some news about His Highness, have not been very friendly."

When he said this, Wu Shizhong hesitated.

"Something happened in Nanyang?"

Qin Ming keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Wu Shizhong quickly explained:

"We've only destroyed a few small countries. They're constantly at war over there, so it's not a big deal. It's just that these newly established small countries may require us to spend more effort."

"understood."

Qin Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Soon, more than a dozen fleet leaders arrived at the port.

As soon as he landed, a burly man walked up to Qin Ming.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, it's been a year since we last met! Are you in good health?"

"Thanks to you, it's not bad."

The burly man's name is Hu Haisheng, and he is from the country of Citian in Southeast Asia.

Behind him, Ji Zhun from Penglai Kingdom, Chu Huaishan from Tianming Kingdom and others are all old friends of Qin Ming, and they have helped Qin Ming a lot in the court before.

There are several countries in Southeast Asia, among which Citian Kingdom, Penglai Kingdom and Tianming Kingdom are all very powerful.

Nature also has a very high voice.

Many times, the long voyages of the South Sea merchant caravans were led by a few of them.

At this time, Ji Zhun stepped forward and said:

"Your Highness, we have all heard about what you have experienced in the Daqian court. If there is anything we can help you with, please let us know."

"Yes, we have received a lot of favors from you before. We are not as insidious as those people in the Daqian court. Since you are kind to us, we will definitely repay you."

Listening to what they said, Qin Ming smiled and waved his hand.

"Don't bother. I'm doing fine here. I have a batch of silk I want to deliver to you."

They all came here to do business, and it was impossible for Qin Ming to take advantage of their favor for nothing.

The best approach is for everyone to exchange resources with each other and not owe each other anything.

"Do you want to deliver it, or do you want us to smuggle it for you?"

I thought this matter could be easily settled, but at this moment a harsh voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Qin Ming turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a gloomy face looking at him sarcastically.
