Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Yeah, aren't you going to fight the Xiao family?"

Sun Luoyan is the little princess of the Sun family, and many things within the family cannot be hidden from her.

"The Sun family has been discussing matters internally lately, and many people are unwilling to join forces with you. Are you scared?"

Sun Luoyan approached Qin Ming and stared at Qin Ming's face closely.

It is normal that the Sun family is unwilling to help. After all, no one wants to stand against the Xiao family.

Now they can even turn around and leave without losing anything.

“It’s normal that you don’t want to.”

To Sun Luoyan's surprise, Qin Ming's expression did not change and his tone remained calm.

Upon hearing this, Sun Luoyan suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Aren't you afraid? If the Sun family leaves, you'll be the only one left. You definitely won't be able to defeat the Xiao family."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Qin Ming shrugged his shoulders and secretly sighed that it was fortunate that he had arranged some people to build a salt factory early on.

"Humph! I haven't finished talking yet!"

Sun Luoyan stomped her feet in dissatisfaction.

“Although many people in the Sun family were unwilling to join forces with you, after discussion, everyone finally agreed.”

"why is that?"

Qin Ming and Chang Baishan were both a little surprised.

They could have imagined that the Sun family would withdraw, but the Sun family actually agreed at this time!

Suddenly, Qin Ming thought of what Sun Miao had told him before he left.

At that time, he said that he still had a trump card.

Could it be that the trump card he mentioned worked?

But what is there about me that is worthy of the Sun family taking the risk to help me?

Qin Ming didn't understand.

"Because of me."

Sun Luoyan pointed at herself, opened her eyes wide, and looked at Qin Ming with a smile.

Qin Ming suddenly understood everything.

The trump card that Sun Miao mentioned before turned out to be the little princess of the Sun family!

In addition to interests, what can make the elders of the Sun family reconsider this matter is Sun Luoyan's attitude.

"So you owe me one."

Sun Luoyan smiled and took Qin Ming's arm.

After Qin Ming rescued her from bandits last time, the two sides had already reconciled.

Later, Sun Luoyan returned the favor and messed things up again, bringing in old grain that the military camp could not consume at all.

Fortunately, Qin Ming was able to use up the extra grain.

At that time, she felt that she owed Qin Ming something.

This time, I heard that the Xiao family has pushed Linjiang City's industries to the brink of destruction.

So she went back.

"Your Highness, you are so lucky."

Chang Baishan sat next to him and spoke with envy.

Qin Ming sighed helplessly and reached out to touch Sun Luoyan's head.

"I owe you a favor."

"I'll give you as compensation, and you'll be mine from now on. How about that?"

Sun Luoyan brought her stunningly beautiful face close to Qin Ming and spoke softly in his ear.

"talk about it later."

"No, tell me now."

"I can't tell you now, I'll just take advantage of it for free..."

Qin Ming's old face turned red.

Chang Baishan was watching the two of them happily from the side. What he liked most was these gossips.

"Let's go."

Knowing that the Sun family was willing to help, Qin Ming waved his hand and prepared to wait for Sun Miao to come back.

With the strength of the Sun family, half a month is enough for them to produce the first batch of refined salt.

At that time, this batch of supplies will be sent directly to Jiangnan.

Go straight to Huanglong!

Qin Ming now really wants to see how long the Xiao family can continue to be the boss if they cannot collect the money from the salt industry.

"You're leaving now."

Sun Luoyan pouted and pulled Qin Ming's sleeve with some dissatisfaction.

At this time, Qin Ming pulled out a black piece of iron from his arms.

"This is for you."

"Wow, what is this?"

"This is called a VIP card. It's still in the experimental stage. There are only a dozen or so in Linjiang City."

"What is the VIP card for?"

"It's a discount on meals. Right now it's about 50% off."

Qin Ming had previously discussed with Yi the chef and decided to distribute VIP cards in their restaurant.

As long as you dine here regularly, you can receive the allowance based on your annual consumption level.

Generally, there is a 10% discount, and only those who can spend over a thousand taels of silver a year can afford a top-level VIP card like the one Qin Ming has.

"Specially for me? Just a dozen or so?"

Sun Luoyan's face was immediately filled with joy. She held the card in both hands and asked while jumping happily.

"Yes, this should be the first one given by our restaurant."

Qin Ming pointed to the "甲字一" written on the card and said to Sun Luoyan.

What he said was true.

Sun Luoyan helped so much and managed to win over the elders in the Sun family.

There really wasn't anything good to give back today, so he thought of this VIP card.

"I'm the first one... hehe."

For some reason, Sun Luoyan was very happy after getting this card.

Qin Ming, unable to understand the other party's excitement, bowed and said goodbye.

In the evening, Sun Miao arrived shortly afterwards.

This time he came directly to Qin Ming's house to visit.

"Your Highness, for someone of your status, living in a small courtyard like this is too simple."

Sun Miao sat in the yard, looking at the furnishings here and commenting continuously.

"Is this a courtyard? There's nothing like mountains, rivers, flowers, grass, or bamboo. And this table, is it made of copper coin wood? Sigh!"

"You'd better not live here anymore. I also have a yard in Linjiang City that's three times bigger than yours. The furniture inside is all the best. You can move there."

The Sun family is wealthy and powerful, and Sun Miao has had the best conditions since he was a child.

Seeing that Qin Ming, such a capable person whom he even admired, was so simple, he naturally found it a little unacceptable.

Hurry up and find Qin Ming a new place to live.

"Goodbye, many of my acquaintances know I live here. If I move rashly, they won't be able to find me."

Qin Ming waved his hand and brought the topic back.

"Have you started preparing to make refined salt?"

"Of course, and this time I brought something good with me."

Sun Miao raised the corner of his mouth, opened the fan with a swish, and waved the folding fan in a showy manner.

Then he took out a small bag from his waist.

Pour the contents directly onto the stone table in the pavilion in the yard.

The snow-white and delicate refined salt rolled down and accumulated like quicksand.

A lot of salt from this era is still yellowish and has relatively large particles, and sometimes the taste is a bit strange due to the process.

But the refined salt making method Qin Ming taught him would not cause this problem.

"You've already made it?"

Seeing all this, Qin Ming's face was full of shock.

He was sure that he had done it earlier than the other party, but his salt factory had just been completed.

It will take several days to get the finished product.

The Sun family was so good that they managed to produce the finished product so quickly, including the time they took to go back and discuss matters!

"Don't question the strength of our Sun family. We are just wary of the Xiao family, not afraid of them. Do you understand the difference?"

Sun Miao gently waved his folding fan and said quite proudly.

"How long will it take to enter Jiangnan?"

Seeing this, Qin Ming stopped talking to him.

The sooner the textile factory issue is resolved, the better.

"Ten days. I need enough cargo to shake the Xiao family. After ten days, I can enter directly."

"Of course, if you try harder, you might be able to go faster."

At this time, Sun Miao suddenly spoke with a meaningful tone.

Qin Ming held his forehead and said helplessly:

"I still can't hide it. You all know it. The Sun family is really well-informed."
