Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"I see."

Qin Ming knew the situation in Daqian.

Their factories began to reduce production after productivity exceeded the level that the dynasty could sustain.

They have also been suppressed for a long time.

Now that there is finally an opportunity, it is normal for retaliatory production to occur.

However, Wu Shizhong saw that Qin Ming did not continue to speak, and asked with some concern:

"Your Majesty, is everything alright with you?"

He was worried that Qin Ming was under too much pressure.

After all, several important shipping routes from Yan Dynasty are not yet fully under our control.

Even in a state of war.

At this time, large-scale trade was being carried out, and if any mistakes were made, they would likely lose all their money.

However, his idea was obviously redundant.

"Don't worry, New Route still has the capacity to handle the cargo, so it won't be a problem if another batch arrives."

"What we need to consider now is how to arrange for the new batch of troops to go there."

According to Qin Ming's estimation, if Yan Dynasty knew that he had defeated the 300,000 troops secretly sent by the other side.

It is estimated that a huge earthquake will occur soon.

At that time, the Four Pillars will discuss again and face themselves with a more appropriate attitude.

"Okay, are you ready to send troops at the right time?"

Wu Shizhong nodded and wrote down everything Qin Ming said.

"First, let Liu Chuang bring 50,000 troops to provide support. You will be responsible for the subsequent supplies and logistics."

"I need to go back to the court."

Qin Ming is not in a hurry to confront Yan Chao now.

The other party must be more anxious than him.

Since he had some free time, he decided to return to the court.

Ever since he and the Yan Dynasty started a war across the ocean, he has been busy fighting outside.

Although Chen Shimao was very effective in assisting the government in the court.

But many things within the court still require his personal approval.

Qin Ming took a boat upstream and then changed to a train halfway.

On the second night, he returned to the imperial city of Daqian.

Inside the railway station in the capital, hundreds of officials were waiting in formation.

Earlier, news had come back that Qin Ming had annihilated 300,000 troops of the Yan Dynasty in the open sea.

In addition, Qin Ming had made great strides in Yan Dynasty in the past few months and achieved a record of suppressing the four sides.

This made him the most famous person at that time.

In fact, there were many people in the court who felt that Qin Ming's foundation was unstable when he first took office, and that they could take advantage of him to make some small moves.

But shocked by Qin Ming's brilliant record, these people no longer dared to have any second thoughts.

Therefore, after returning to the palace surrounded by everyone and talking with Chen Shimao and Guan Yue, the situation Qin Ming was worried about did not happen.

"Your Majesty, you said that we won consecutive victories and defeated the Wu family. Did you find any trace of Qin Yue behind them?"

At this time, Chen Shimao suddenly spoke and mentioned Qin Yue.

"Why is the teacher so concerned about his whereabouts?"

Qin Ming told Chen Shimao that he had blown off Qin Yue's arm.

But Chen Shimao still frowned.

"Your Majesty, this man is a great calamity to Daqian. It is better to deal with him as soon as possible."

"Teacher, are you worried that he'll be used as a puppet by the Four Pillars, and that they'll use that as an excuse to fight for control of Daqian?"

Qin Ming was well-versed in history books, so he naturally knew what it meant to use the emperor to control the princes.

Qin Yue himself has no ability, but he has royal blood.

This can easily be exploited by some people with ulterior motives. If they jump out and use the local banner as a pretext, it will cause unrest among many forces in Daqian.

Seeing that Qin Ming understood what he meant, Chen Shimao said nothing more, but just reminded him:

"It's not a big problem right now, but if you have the chance, it's better to kill it as soon as possible."

"I understand, teacher."

After confirming that the court was shocked by his unparalleled achievements and no major problems occurred.

Qin Ming and Guan Yue sent Chen Shimao out of the palace together.

After several months, Qin Ming finally had time to spend with Guan Yue.

As soon as he closed the palace door, Qin Ming felt a fragrant breeze coming from behind him.

As soon as I turned around, I was filled with soft fragrance.

Guan Yue's eyes were as charming as silk, and she stretched out her slender white arms, tightly hooking them around Qin Ming's neck.

She also pressed her warm body against Qin Ming, and rested her little face lightly on his chest.

Qin Ming didn't say anything. The two of them stood under the candlelight, quietly enjoying the warmth of the night.

"How many days will you stay this time?"

After a long time, Guan Yue finally raised her head.

"About two or three days."

Qin Ming slowly said a number, and at the same time, a pair of big hands pinched Guan Yue's little face in a dishonest manner.

"That's not enough."

Guan Yue pouted and hugged him tightly.

"I think it's enough."

Qin Ming smiled meaningfully.

"uh-huh?"

Guan Yue raised her chin, and Qin Ming tactfully raised his hand to blow out a few candles in the distance.

Nothing happened that night. When Qin Ming came out of the bedroom the next morning, Guan Yue was still sleeping soundly.

I shook my head and felt that it was another energetic day.

Qin Ming felt that after accepting the inheritance of the Luo Sect, his physical fitness had indeed become much stronger.

One of the benefits is that no matter how tired you are, you can recover almost completely after a night's rest.

Since Qin Ming had more time today, he went to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, preparing to see how the construction plan outside the Great Wall was progressing before rushing to Yan Dynasty.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw the Minister of Revenue Qian Cai sitting here arguing with several old masters from the Ministry of Works.

"I'm telling you, are you crazy? It's fine for food, drink, and toileting, but now you even need my approval for the money for the fire?"

"Sir, what you said is wrong. You know how bitterly cold the north is. The temperature has dropped quite a bit now. If you want them to continue construction without delays, you must provide them with sufficient funds for burning firewood, right?"

"But how do you want me to explain this money to Prime Minister Chen? Besides, there are at least a million people outside the northern border. How much silver will it cost to keep so many people burning firewood?"

Qian Cai is very capable in doing things, but he has a straightforward personality and speaks in a very rude way.

Although both sides had their own difficulties, after his few words, there was no sign of mutual understanding.

Instead, it made them all feel unhappy.

Qin Ming stood in the distance and listened for a while, and roughly understood their situation.

So he slowly walked into the duty room of the Ministry of Revenue.

"His Majesty!?"

When Qian Cai and several master chefs from the Ministry of Revenue saw Qin Ming coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.

Qin Ming waved his hand and said:

"No need to be so polite. I was just looking for you. Since you are all here, let's talk about things in the north."

"What is the progress of the previously planned construction so far?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became stagnant.

Several master chefs remained silent.

Qian Cai didn't say anything either.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly strange, Qian Cai finally coughed twice and held up three fingers.

"Your Majesty, I'm not afraid of your scolding. The work in the north is indeed difficult. We've only completed... 30% of it."
