Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"You don't understand. Now is not the time to make money. Others have helped us, and we still have a huge amount of goods in our hands. At this time, the most important goal is the Xiao family, not making money."

Qin Ming patiently explained to the other party.

They may make a loss, but a 30% discount on the market price is actually nothing.

Compared with the Xiao family's 10% price to smash all the markets, Qin Ming was already very calm at this price.

"So this is ah."

Chang Baishan scratched his head.

He discovered that his Highness's thinking always seemed different from that of ordinary people.

"Let's go."

That night, Qin Ming didn't even go home. He rode a fast horse and took people with Chang Baishan to transfer goods from the textile factory's warehouse and transport them to Yinshan County.

In addition to Yinshan County, batches of weapons have been delivered.

Wu Shizhong's heart has been getting bigger and bigger these days.

Reselling military supplies is a life-threatening business, but since he knew how powerful Qin Ming was in Lingnan, he no longer felt any psychological burden in helping him.

At this moment, he was squatting beside the ship in the harbor, watching the weapons and equipment being loaded onto the ship bit by bit.

Ji Zhun of Penglai Kingdom, Chu Huaishan of Tianming Kingdom, and Hu Haisheng of Citian Kingdom were all sitting nearby, looking at these weapons and equipment with great joy.

Hu Haisheng exclaimed:

"Why are the weapons His Highness crafted so high quality? This trip this year was the most worthwhile!"

"With these weapons, the Fire Worship Nation won't dare to act rashly even after we return."

Ji Zhun smiled faintly.

Their biggest gain this time was actually the cooperation with Qin Ming.

Chu Huaishan thought of the previous transaction in the capital and curled his lips and said:

"If you ask me, it's better not to come to the capital anymore. His Highness has only been gone for a year. When we went there this year, whether it was the sales or the level of reception, the most important thing is that the money we made was less."

They went there originally because they valued Qin Ming.

But later Qin Ming left and was demoted to Lingnan.

This caused changes to occur among those in the capital who were in charge of caravan trade.

Not only did some corruption and extortion occur, but there was no trust at all between the two sides!

If they are not careful, officials in the Daqian court will try to cheat them in the transaction.

So when they left the capital this time, the envoys from the three major South Sea countries were actually full of anger.

Countries like theirs that have some strength are still considered good.

Some smaller countries are not even taken seriously by Daqian officials.

Not even given the chance to negotiate at the table!

"Ugh."

Having said that, several people sighed helplessly, lowered their heads and started eating peanuts and melon seeds.

Wu Shizhong sat nearby, listening to their complaints, and then casually said:

"You haven't made enough money, and you haven't taken enough goods?"

"These two things are connected. Anyway, this time it's quite frustrating."

Hu Haisheng pointed to the big ship next to him.

"See this draft? There's not much cargo in there, damn it!"

"How about I help you contact His Highness?"

Wu Shizhong hesitated for a moment and suddenly spoke.

He didn't know what was happening in Linjiang City.

Shanyin County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, like an isolated island, and has been left to its own devices for many years.

This means that many things in Lingnan do not even affect them.

Naturally, Wu Shizhong, who had been busy with foreign port trade, was unaware of the situation on Qin Ming's side.

He just knew that Qin Ming had been arranging people to come and ask whether the Nanyang merchant caravan had returned.

In Wu Shizhong's opinion, this is a manifestation of His Highness's attentiveness and his sincere concern for others.

In fact, this is not just concern.

Qin Ming and the Xiao family showed their true colors and started fighting with knives!

"Forget it, His Highness has his own things to do. How can we keep clinging to him?"

Ji Zhun waved his hand.

He is not only Qin Ming's partner in interests, but also admires Qin Ming's character after so many years of contact.

"Yeah, but it's always a little bit short. We made a lot of money when we first came to Lingnan last time."

Chu Huaishan nodded in agreement.

"You're welcome, His Highness will be here soon."

Wu Shizhong interrupted them.

"If you have any questions, feel free to tell His Highness. He's very concerned about you and has already sent people to inquire about you several times. Now that he's heard you're back, he should be rushing over soon."

"Oh, this... Your Highness is so polite."

Hu Haisheng and others were flattered.

This is how they interact: if someone respects me an inch, I will respect him a yard.

Qin Ming was able to take time out of his busy schedule to come and see them off, and he even ran hundreds of miles.

This made them respect Qin Ming even more.

Wu Shizhong looked at the three excited people and felt a little puzzled.

He didn't know that he had inadvertently helped Qin Ming gain a wave of favors.

"His Highness is here!"

Just as they were talking, the figures of Qin Ming and Chang Baishan appeared in the wilderness shrouded in darkness in the distance.

"Everyone, how did you gain from this trip?"

After entering the port, Qin Ming dismounted and asked a few people tentatively.

"Oh, don't mention it!"

"Honestly, without you, Your Highness, we don't even want to go to the Daqian court."

"Yes, what Daqian can offer has been decreasing year by year. We even want to open up some new routes."

Several people started to speak up and complain to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming glanced at the draft level of the large ship in the distance. Knowing trade very well, he frowned at the mere glance.

"Is someone in the court giving you trouble?"

"It's not a big deal. It's mainly because they didn't give much."

Normally they would come here and load thousands of kilograms of tea, pepper, silk, porcelain and other things onto the ship.

This is mainly because Qin Ming will help them prepare in advance.

But now it’s different. The people in the court only care about money, and it’s impossible to ask them to make efforts to prepare.

So naturally there is less to take out.

Even other people’s boats couldn’t be filled.

At this moment, Wu Shizhong took the initiative to start the conversation:

"Your Highness, they want to ask if we have anything left so they can collect some before we leave."

"But they are too shy to bother you, so I'll speak for them."

"Ok?"

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment. Is this... a two-way rush?

"Your Highness, we really don't want to trouble you."

The three people in front of him also scratched their heads and smiled embarrassedly.

Chang Baishan was standing next to Wu Shizhong. He suddenly realized the situation and gave him a thumbs up.

Originally, Qin Ming came to beg others to collect the things.

Now, Wu Shizhong directly told them their situation.

That means it's a two-way process and the transaction can be easily resolved.

"How about this, 30% off, I'll give you 50,000 pieces of cloth."

Qin Ming was also clear about it. The 30% off market price was slightly lower than their cost price.

Even if he gives away large quantities like this, it won't affect his overall situation.

"Five, fifty thousand...!?"
