Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Surrounded by the crowd, Chen Shimao was taken back to Linjiang City by Qin Ming.

After resting until the afternoon of the next day, Qin Ming, who was exhausted from the journey, just opened the door and saw Guan Yuezheng and Chen Shimao sitting in the pavilion.

She seemed to be chatting with the old man.

Seeing Qin Ming coming, Chen Shimao immediately stood up.

"Your Highness."

"Teacher, you don't have to be so polite. This is not the imperial court."

Chen Shimao paid great attention to the difference between the monarch and his subjects, and when he met a prince like Qin Ming, he would directly salute.

Seeing this, Qin Ming hurried forward and pressed him down on the seat.

Chen Shimao stroked his beard and smiled:

"Your Highness, when you came back yesterday, you said you would take me to see Lingnan. Why don't you go now?"

Guan Yue quickly said:

"Yes, it was not easy for Mr. Chen to come here. The threshold of our yard was almost broken down this morning."

"If he hadn't been waiting for you, he would have been invited to dine with them."

This morning, Fang Qingyuan, Song Dingsheng, Cao Chuan and Liu Chuang knew that Chen Shimao was coming.

So they came to visit with gifts.

Chen Shimao has been an official for many years and is a kind person. It is unknown how many good relationships he has made.

When Fang Qingyuan was targeted in the capital, it was he who sent him out.

After coming here, Fang Qingyuan has a good life, has made great contributions, and lives a fulfilling life every day.

In addition to Fang Qingyuan, there are also local wealthy businessmen and those big families who have never wanted to have anything to do with Qin Ming in the past.

They even arranged for people to come and visit specially.

Pushing open the door, Qin Ming looked at the noisy scene outside and the long queue of people wanting to enter his mansion.

Even he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"Teacher, did you recruit all these people?"

"I didn't. It must have been caused by your newspaper publicity."

Chen Shimao was shocked by the scene in front of him.

After returning last night, Qin Ming asked Fang Qingyuan to work urgently and write a report about Chen Shimao's battle of wits with Huang Qi.

He also instructed Fang Qingyuan that this matter must be reported extensively, preferably covering three or four pages in a row.

Unexpectedly, they used too much force and Huang Qi's matter was suppressed.

But Chen Shimao's side directly attracted countless people's attention.

"What do you think of that newspaper?"

Sitting in the carriage, Qin Ming spoke to Chen Shimao with a smile.

"There's a little problem."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Shimao spoke slowly.

"Teacher, please speak."

Qin Ming immediately sat up straight.

Chen Shimao is one of the top people in the world. His knowledge and abilities are impeccable.

If he said there was a problem, then it was indeed a problem that neither he nor Fang Qingyuan had discovered.

"Are you planning to keep your newspaper like this?"

"You mean . . . ?"

Qin Ming looked at Chen Shimao in confusion.

The other person casually pulled out a newspaper from his arms.

There are all kinds of trivial, eye-catching things written on it.

"If you want to convince others, you must first be able to stand firm yourself."

"If we keep laughing and cursing like this, everyone will just be reading the newspaper for fun."

“By then, how many people will still believe what’s in the newspaper?”

boom!

Qin Ming's mind exploded like thunder.

Chen Shimao is indeed a genius.

This one sentence summed up the most important problem Qin Ming is facing now.

Want to promote and convince people.

It takes more than just an eye-catching and exaggerated headline.

You also need authority!

Only those who read newspapers and feel that the information in them is authoritative can be truly influenced by them.

"I'm glad to hear your lesson, teacher!"

Qin Ming immediately became serious and clasped his fists to thank Chen Shimao.

At the same time, he also made up his mind to improve the newspaper.

After the Luojiao incident is over, they will gradually start to conduct serious reporting so that the authority of the newspaper can be guaranteed.

The carriage continued to move forward, and they soon arrived at the textile factory.

"Your Highness, Prime Minister Chen."

Fang Qingyuan was busy, but when he heard Chen Shimao coming, he immediately put down what he was holding and came out with Cao Chuan to greet him.

"You guys go ahead and do your work, I'll just take a look."

Chen Shimao waved his hand without any airs.

Only then did Fang Qingyuan leave with Cao Chuan.

Qin Ming took him to Fang Qingyuan's office.

Here are placed files recording the development of their textile mill.

Chen Shimao read ten lines at a glance and finished everything quickly.

"Can you increase production?"

He raised his head and spoke to Qin Ming with great satisfaction.

“Yes, but no one answered.”

Qin Ming established the Textile Association because he was constantly expanding his business.

But the market in Jiangnan alone could not accommodate the output they were going all out to produce.

There was no other way, he could only suspend production and let the people in the textile factory work first with less than half of their original effort.

At least they can keep their jobs.

Chen Shimao pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:

"If the Qian, Wang, and Sun families help you with your business, can you go all out in production?"

The Qian family and the Wang family are both large local families.

Superior to many wealthy businessmen.

But they are not like the Sun family, who do business together with Qin Ming.

After learning that Qin Ming was demoted from the capital, they had no further involvement with Qin Ming.

I haven't even visited him once.

"Can you help?"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up.

Chen Shimao nodded and wrote two letters with his brush.

"I'll find someone to send it over later."

"okay!"

Qin Ming didn't know what kind of entanglement Chen Shimao had with them, but just a letter was enough to make them take the risk of contacting Qin Ming.

Chen Shimao's face is indeed astonishingly great!

"Let's go to the workshop."

The two of them came to the workshop together. Qin Ming showed his abilities without hiding anything and took out the musket to show Chen Shimao.

"Teacher, how about this weapon?"

"It can be extended to the northern battlefield, but the production volume is probably not enough and the journey is too long."

As soon as Chen Shimao got the thing, he praised Qin Ming's musket.

boom!

He tried it himself, and when he saw the marks on the scarecrow dozens of feet away, he couldn't help but think of the battlefield in the north.

Now their battle with the northern tribes is in full swing.

There was considerable consumption between the two sides.

This tug-of-war was a waste of money and manpower, and Emperor Qian had actually wanted to end it a long time ago.

Unfortunately, the northern tribes refused to give in.

At this time, it was Qin Ming who marched out of Yanyun, conquered all directions, and repelled the northern tribes.

But now Qin Ming has been demoted.

The northern generals had no backbone, so it was obviously unrealistic to let the young prince go.

Several veteran generals in the court are still guarding the border.

So they could only endure the war silently.

Chen Shimao has been troubled by this issue recently.

"I can give them a repeating crossbow."

Qin Ming looked at Chen Shimao, whose face was filled with worry when the Northern War was mentioned, and suddenly spoke.

"Liannu?"

When Chen Shimao heard this, he immediately became interested.
