Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

It was a long time before Fang Wenliang remembered who Sun Cheng was.

"Are you crazy? Sun Cheng and I have nothing to do with each other. We are hundreds of miles apart and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Why would I mess with him?"

"I do not know."

Several soldiers shrugged, threw down these words and ran away.

"ill!"

Fang Wenliang cursed a few times, but then he thought it didn't make sense.

Just at this moment, several soldiers suddenly ran back from outside.

"General! We were stationed on the official road, and the soldiers checking the merchants were beaten!"

"More than a dozen people, all seriously injured!"

"What!?"

Dare to beat people on the imperial territory.

How audacious!

Fang Wenliang was extremely confused. Why did strange things happen one after another?

"Go check it out, apprehend the attacker first, and throw him in jail!"

"General, the one who attacked us was Sun Cheng from the Huguang Pass. We couldn't stop him, so we had no choice but to let him go."

"Sun Cheng!?"

That name again!

Fang Wenliang felt like he had stepped in dog poop when he went out today.

"Fuck, is Sun Cheng crazy!?"

"We just found out that Sun Cheng did come here, but he turned back after reaching Pingyao County. We didn't expect him to hit anyone!"

Any passing army would show their pass.

The soldiers under Fang Wenliang also have records of passing customs.

This further proves that Sun Cheng has been here.

"Why did he hit someone? What was he doing here?"

"I don't know, it just seemed to go in a circle."

"Asshole! Asshole!"

Fang Wenliang remembered Qin Ming's apology.

He apologized for nothing!

A small captain dared to run to Qiantang City and pee and shit on their heads?

"Notify Lord Wang about this!"

"Tell him to write a letter to Sun Cheng and ask for justice!"

"Yes!"

……

On the other side, Wu Qingye was running away humbly in the wilderness.

Although today's performance was very good.

But when it came to the end, I was still a little anxious.

When he beat up those soldiers, he almost exposed himself.

Fortunately, he left Sun Cheng's name in the end.

It can be said that Qin Ming's instructions were successfully completed.

A day later, Qin Ming returned to Linjiang City.

Cao Chuan, who stole the craftsmen in the capital, and Fang Qingyuan, the former head of the Ministry of Revenue who assisted him, have not arrived yet.

Although they have Chen Shimao's help, it is not easy to steal people from the Ministry of Industry.

It must have delayed some time, but Qin Ming trusted Chen Shimao very much.

He will definitely do what he promised.

As for the current stage, Qin Ming only has a few hundred craftsmen, and the quality is uneven.

They could only carry out some infrastructure construction on the land enclosed by Qin Ming.

With the help of Guan Yue and Song Dingsheng, the craftsmen bought a lot of wood and iron ore.

Two carpenter workshops and three blacksmith workshops were built.

Basic carpentry and forging can now be carried out, but the output is not very high yet.

"How is it, is my Highness the Prince of Qin satisfied?"

Guan Yue stood in front of several workshops with her hands on her hips, her little face full of complacency.

I just need to write a few big words to praise me.

"Not bad! They say that behind every successful man stands a woman who plans everything. It seems I've found her."

Qin Ming touched Guan Yue's head and said lovingly.

"What's that? I can still lead troops. How about letting me try?"

Guan Yue buried her head in Qin Ming's arms and acted coquettishly.

She really wanted to lead troops.

But when Qin Ming asked the three guards to take over local defense, he didn't seem to consider her.

This naturally made Guan Yue feel a little dissatisfied.

"When there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely let you lead the troops."

Qin Ming was reluctant to let Guan Yue go to the army.

Before coming, he had promised Chen that he would not let Guan Yue be in danger.

"fraud."

The girl's mood is always changeable.

She was hugging Qin Ming and acting coquettishly just now.

After hearing what Qin Ming said, Guan Yue bit him directly, turned around and ran away angrily with her little boots on.

Qin Ming inspected the situation in his workshop and waved to Song Dingsheng in the distance.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Song Dingsheng trotted up to Qin Ming.

They had weathered the plague together, and now he was half Qin Ming's man.

Qin Ming said to him:

"How's your money been lately?"

"Your Highness, I spent some money during the plague. To build these workshops, I found a familiar merchant and purchased a batch of materials at cost price. I only spent 8,000 taels of silver. Now I still have 330,000 taels of silver on the books."

Although Song Dingsheng is timid, this is not a bad thing.

Qin Ming was very satisfied with his character for not being greedy or taking things for granted when doing things.

"Yes, you are a promising talent."

Qin Ming's praise was just simple compliment to Song Dingsheng.

He had heard many such compliments.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he listened, he was still just a prefect after all these years.

I originally thought that Qin Ming's words would be the end of it.

Who knew that what Qin Ming said about him being a promising talent was not an exaggeration.

"I decided to give you a chance to make money."

The scale of the workshop Qin Ming expected has not yet been reached.

Although there is a lot of money here, it will take time for Cao Chuan and Fang Qingyuan to arrive with all the craftsmen to start large-scale construction.

It will really become a waste of money.

Add to that military expenses and the casting of weapons and equipment.

By then, even if it was the 300,000 silver in Qin Ming's hands.

Even with the 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver looted from Xiasha City, it was still not enough.

"How to make money?"

"Get a pen and paper."

"it is good!"

Song Dingsheng brought Qin Ming paper and pen, and Qin Ming began to draw the design neatly.

As a master of physics, Qin Ming is also a good painter.

A blueprint of a mechanism was quickly drawn up.

"I'll call all my carpenters over and have them make this thing."

"What's this for?"

"A loom, something that can improve weaving efficiency."

"Is that so? How much can it improve?"

"At least it's much faster than it is now."

Song Dingsheng was delighted, thinking that they could make a lot of money.

But then a question occurred to him.

"Your Highness, should we keep this blueprint secret?"

"Of course it's a secret. If it's not, will we give it to the imperial court and ask them to make money together?"

"Then I'll find some local craftsmen who are strict about their words and reliable in their work."

"Okay, you can see."

Qin Ming waved his hand.

His eyes were already fixed on a column of troops that had just entered the military camp in the distance.

The person who came back was Wu Qingye.

"Is it done?"

Qin Ming waved to him and asked in a low voice.

Wu Qingye leaned close to Qin Ming's ear and whispered:

"Almost done. Now we just have to wait for them to start working."

"Calculate the time, when will Sun Cheng's people arrive?"

"Probably in the next two or three days."

Sun Cheng was hundreds of miles away from Qiantang City, and it would take at least two or three days to travel back and forth.

Qin Ming nodded slowly.

"Let's go, this time I'll go meet Wang Shouyan in person!"

"Your Highness, are you going there now?"

"Of course, when we get there, we can just watch the show."

If Qin Ming hadn't gone there personally to take care of the trap he set for them,

It would be bad if something went wrong and they had to join forces to deal with me.
