Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qian Cai spoke very directly. They had encountered many problems in the past few days.

What Qin Ming handed over to them was a Lingnan with extremely sound industry.

Expanding on this basis can indeed replenish the military camp in a short period of time.

But no matter how much we expand, we will only have this small piece of land.

Not much oil can be squeezed out.

In addition, Qin Ming's ideas are different from those of ordinary people. He is very kind to the people who come to the factory.

The monthly salary each person can get is the highest in Daqian.

This increases their costs even more.

After expanding to a certain extent, continuing to increase the number of people and output will instead cause their profits to continue to decline.

This made Qian Cai very annoyed.

He knew why, it was simply because the number of people here exceeded the capacity!

"Don't be impatient, let's wait a little longer."

Chen Shimao did not answer, but just comforted him quietly.

Upon hearing this, Qian Cai immediately frowned and said:

"I think there are only two solutions now: either reduce the wages in those factories, or just lay off a bunch of people!"

Qiancai’s solution is extremely direct.

If used, it will produce immediate results.

Chen Shimao was a little impatient with his pressure and sighed:

"Old Qian, you still can't calm down after all these years. Let me ask you, if I continue to expand, do you have a solution?"

"What? Why do you continue?!"

Qian Cai was anxious.

After so many days, he still didn't understand what Chen Shimao was doing.

"Jiangnan."

Chen Shimao slowly uttered two words.

The money that was arguing suddenly fell silent.

"Can I take it?"

"can."

"Then I have no problem. Sorry, Mr. Chen."

Qian Cai's anger was extinguished as if by a basin of water, and he immediately bowed and apologized to Chen Shimao.

"Only Your Highness and I know about this. I didn't want to tell you, but you were too impatient."

Chen Shimao patted him on the shoulder, and his meaning was very clear.

Qian Cai said quickly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'm very tight-lipped, you know."

"That's fine. Continue recruiting people. You can take it slow from now on."

"Slow down? But if we go to Jiangnan to build a factory, we must send enough people there at once!"

Qian Cai couldn't help it again.

Seeing this, Chen Shimao glared at him.

"What did the old man just say?"

"Oh...yes, yes, I won't ask anymore."

Compared with others, Qian Cai has followed Chen Shimao for many years and also has the ability to see the overall situation.

This enables him to discover many defects that his subordinates cannot find.

But he also has a problem, that is, he doesn't think as well as Chen Shimao and Qin Mingshen.

He has a bad temper and often does things superficially.

Fortunately, Chen Shimao and Fang Qingyuan are both here. With their help, Qian Cai can stand on his own.

……

A few days later, in Xiasha City.

Qin Ming informed Cao Chuan and others of all the recent battle plans.

"No way, Your Highness? We still need to defend now?"

"We have achieved successive victories on the battlefield recently!"

"Aren't the Nanman coming? We should deal with the army in the Changhe region sooner so we can free up our hands, right?"

Not surprisingly, they all thought this was outrageous.

"Don't worry, this battle won't last long."

Qin Ming spoke slowly. Naturally, he had nothing to hide from them.

He told them in detail what Chen Shimao had told him.

When they heard these words, they were all stunned.

"Is this really the case? The imperial court should still have plenty of manpower to spare."

"I think it's possible. After all, they didn't get any advantage from us."

Just as they were discussing this, Qin Ming gave them a sum of military pay.

"The New Year is coming soon. When the time comes, I will use this money to send my brothers back to celebrate the New Year in batches."

"This isn't right, Your Highness. What if the enemy attacks right now?"

Liu Chuang looked at Qin Ming in surprise.

"Do you know what it means to be surrounded by enemies on all sides?"

Qin Ming looked at them with a smile, but suddenly remembered that this was a dynasty that did not exist in history.

"what does that mean?"

"It's very simple. When they are about to collapse, we celebrate the festival here. Then the enemy's mentality will definitely change."

Qin Ming's move can be considered a strategy to win over people's hearts.

Cao Chuan and his companions looked at each other and all thought it was feasible.

"But how can we let them know that we are celebrating the festival now?"

"That's right, it's impossible to go to them and tell them specifically."

“It’s so simple.”

Qin Ming took out a firework from his arms that they used to send messages.

"Use this. Go to the storehouse and get three thousand taels of silver. During the New Year, set off fireworks in Xiasha City every day!"

Everyone present widened their eyes when they heard Qin Ming's plan.

This is a very good choice.

Anyone can see such dazzling fireworks in the night sky.

"Why don't we go to Lianshan City ahead? It's closer to Changhe Camp."

Cao Chuan said.

Qin Ming thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

"also."

They started making fireworks that night.

Three thousand taels of silver can produce a lot of fireworks.

Enough to keep them burning for several nights without stopping.

Because they are the party with the advantage.

After Qin Ming and his men's camp stopped attacking, Changhe Camp also stopped attacking, and the two sides fell into a strange balance.

Soon after a few days, the New Year finally arrived.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Qin Ming asked Liu Chuang and others to return to Lingnan to guard the border and spend time with their family.

As for Guan Yue, she was brought here by Qin Ming.

Wan Shu also came over.

"I heard you have some nice things here."

Wan Shu took Guan Yue's arm, and they walked to Qin Ming and asked.

"Okay."

Qin Ming smiled and nodded. Seeing that the sky was almost dark, he waved towards the distance.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall immediately lit a long row of fuses!

Whoosh!

Fireworks shot up into the sky and then exploded quickly.

Colorful lights shine on everyone's face.

Guan Yue and Wan Shu watched all this with intoxicated expressions.

Qin Ming's gaze was looking into the distance.

During the Chinese New Year, the fighting between the two sides temporarily stopped.

Compared with the Lingnan army, which has the advantage, the troops in the Changhe Camp must have had a hard time.

Now we see the army in Huxi celebrating again.

How would they feel?

I hope the three thousand taels I spent this time can be used wisely.

Qin Ming prayed silently.

At the same time, in the military camp on the other side.

Prince Yu and Prince Liang stared blankly at the scene before them.

Although they were far away, they could still see the little spots of light rising in the sky.

"They're actually in the mood to celebrate!"

King Liang spoke through gritted teeth.

Prince Yu reacted quickly.

"Maybe it's for us to see."

Turning around, they found that the soldiers around them were all fascinated by the scene.

"Ugh……"

After a sigh, the two opened their mouths, but in the end, nothing came out. They could only turn around and leave silently, leaving the scene in front of them to the soldiers present.
