Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"any solution?"

Qin Ming looked at Fang Qingyuan curiously.

As far as he knew, Fang Qingyuan was a very cautious person and didn't talk much on weekdays.

Especially in the struggles within the court, he did not participate at all.

Know his character and know his abilities.

When Qin Ming handled state affairs, he deliberately let him avoid many disputes within the court.

But I didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk to me today.

He also had to help pay his overdue military wages.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Qingyuan whispered:

"It's not that the court didn't give the money, it was misappropriated!"

"what?"

This news shocked Qin Ming!

He even dared to embezzle military pay.

The officials of Daqian are really powerful!

Aren’t you really afraid that someone will mutiny and invade the capital?

“Who embezzled it?”

"Zhao Jin, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xiao Pingshan, the Minister of Rites."

Fang Qingyuan's words made Qin Ming frown slightly.

Zhao Jin was an official who was promoted recently, and he had always kept a low profile in the Ministry of War.

Qin Ming was familiar with this Xiao Pingshan.

He is the younger brother of Concubine Xiao Shufei who was beaten by me yesterday.

Fang Qingyuan continued:

"They embezzled this money to buy war horses and weapons for the military camp in the capital, but the prices were much higher than usual."

Fang Qingyuan is the head of the Ministry of Revenue.

He can tell the price of anything at a glance.

With this clue, Qin Ming suddenly realized.

It seems that he is another person like Zhao Xi, who makes a profit by purchasing from the military camp.

"I understand, please go back."

"Your Highness, I can help you submit a petition and I will definitely get to the bottom of this!"

Fang Qingyuan didn't leave. He stood in the distance and spoke to Qin Ming.

"I don't need you, go back."

Qin Ming turned around and waved to him with his back.

Fang Qingyuan called out a few times from behind, but Qin Ming ignored him.

Only then did he finally sigh and return to the Ministry of Revenue duty room.

Qian Cai had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing Fang Qingyuan coming back, he looked dejected.

He smiled and said:

"Why, the message was not delivered?"

"I told you, His Highness won't let me do it."

"If I let you do it, I wouldn't be Your Highness."

……

After returning to the palace, Qin Ming calculated the time and found that his three guards had already assembled.

Military rations and weapons and equipment had already been sent to Lingnan.

I will be leaving the capital in a few days.

Before leaving, you still have to do what needs to be done.

"Come on, come out with me."

Thinking of this, he first found Chang Baishan and asked him to go out with him with a group of guards.

Seeing this, Changbaishan Bagua said:

"Your Highness, are you going to the Guan residence to propose marriage?"

He is very concerned about Qin Ming's emotional problems.

When Chang Baishan was Qin Ming's age, he was already the father of several children.

"Fuck off, I'm going to Wuwei Camp."

"Why don't you call Miss Guan along? She'll go with you and help you talk."

Chang Baishan thought about it and agreed.

Qin Ming got a note from the Ministry of Revenue and silver notes from the national treasury. Now that he had the money, he naturally had to go to the Wuwei Camp to provide support.

But matters of the heart also need to be advanced.

Otherwise, when you get older, you won’t have any children.

Wouldn't it be laughed at if it gets out?

Qin Ming discovered when he came back last night that Chang Baishan was very uncouth and seemed to be just there to watch the fun.

There was a carriage in front of him, and he kept looking into the carriage again and again.

I was just hoping that something would happen between me and Guan Yue.

Ignoring him, Qin Ming brought his men quickly to Wuwei Camp.

"Your Highness, you are here."

Liu Chuang received the news yesterday.

It is said that Qin Ming obtained 50,000 taels of silver from the court.

I didn't expect that he would come to Wuwei Camp today just after I got it.

This is obviously to solve their urgent needs!

So his attitude today was very enthusiastic.

"Where are the other two generals?"

"They have prepared food and wine, just waiting for you!"

Compared with the last time he came, Qin Ming was treated much better this time.

Walk into the tent.

There were seven or eight dishes on the table, as well as a bowl of refined rice.

This was specially prepared for Qin Ming by Cao Chuan and Wu Qingye.

"Your Highness is here!"

"Try it! This is Xinyuezhai's signature dish, and the chef was specially invited just for you!"

As soon as they saw Qin Ming, they quickly pulled him to a seat.

Qin Ming was not polite either.

I ate a lot of food and drank some wine in one go.

After three rounds of drinks, Liu Chuang finally asked:

"Your Highness, I heard that you obtained 50,000 taels of silver from the court for the Wuwei Camp?"

"I got fifty thousand taels."

Qin Ming's words made the three of them's eyes light up.

But then he immediately poured cold water on them.

"But not for you."

"No...what do you mean?"

"Your Highness, the Wuwei Camp is running out of money right now. If you don't have these fifty thousand taels, we might be disbanded in a few days!"

Liu Chuang and the other two put a lot of thought into this today and spent a lot of money on food and wine.

I just want to ease the relationship with Qin Ming and take the opportunity to get the money.

They no longer wanted the court's money.

I begged and pleaded with everyone a few days ago, and spent a lot of money, but there was no way to get help.

No one paid any attention to them and their military pay was always delayed.

Now that he finally has the opportunity, Qin Ming is still unwilling to pay.

This made the three of them extremely angry.

Why are you here if you don’t pay me?

Could it be that because he bumped into Qin Ming last time, this kid came here deliberately to take revenge?

They looked a little angry.

Qin Ming explained:

"Three of you, I want to use this money to hire a group of craftsmen to supply the Three Guards and Wuwei Camp. I really can't give it to you."

Building an army requires more than just money and food.

And weapons and equipment.

Qin Ming went to Lingnan to develop himself. If he wanted weapons and equipment, he had to train a group of craftsmen.

These 50,000 taels of silver can just be used as starting capital.

When the time comes, I can pawn the things in the palace and get some more money.

If we use this money to fill the holes in Wuwei Camp, it would be a huge loss.

It also affected Qin Ming's landing in Lingnan.

"Then what do we do?"

"If we really go to Lingnan with you, we brothers won't starve!"

"You could give us a little so we can give an explanation to our brothers."

Cao Chuan, Wu Qingye and the other two were helpless.

They also knew that Qin Ming had earned these 50,000 taels of silver through his own ability.

I have no legitimate reason to ask him for it by force.

But since I have followed Qin Ming, I must take good care of my brothers. At least I can't let the Wuwei Camp disband like this.

Qin Ming knew they would say this.

So he said:

"Your military pay is actually still there, but someone took it away. I have a way to help you get it back."

"Really!"

As soon as these words were spoken, hope suddenly appeared on the faces of the three people.

"Yes, but after I help you, I'll deduct 30%."

Qin Ming opened his mouth with a smile and put forward his request.

Since you are raising an army, you must first establish your authority so that they will listen to you.

Otherwise, they will be given whatever they want and end up raising a group of arrogant and powerful soldiers who will be of little use on the battlefield!

"30%? You might as well just go and rob it!"

Liu Chuang drank a little too much.

Seeing that Qin Ming was about to deduct the money, he threw his wine glass and became angry.
