Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Your Highness, I really don't have any."

Wei Guangxun quickly shook his head.

He was unwilling to admit that he secretly arranged for someone to go back.

In that case, Qin Ming would definitely hold on to it.

In fact, Wei Guangxun didn’t know.

Qin Ming asked him to come out specifically this time and not stay with him.

The first reason was that he didn’t want him and Sun Cheng to see Wu Qingye.

The second was to give him a chance to go back and get help.

"Come back to the barracks with me first, and let's discuss the punishment for your unauthorized crossing of the line."

Contrary to Wei Guangxun and Sun Cheng's expectations, Qin Ming did not ask any more questions.

Instead, they were sent directly to the military camp.

They even just said it was out of bounds, and didn't mention overcrowding.

"Well……"

Wei Guangxun was confused.

After following Qin Ming for two days, they finally returned to Wuwei Camp outside Linjiang City.

The Wuwei Camp was a busy scene.

Qin Ming's three guards were directly arranged to garrison at the border and would not follow him at all times.

The Wuwei Camp is different. This is the army that Qin Ming raised himself with the permission of Emperor Qian.

Although many people in the court, including Emperor Qian, did not wish him well.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming is just the grass under the concrete ground.

After all, the cricket pupa will emerge.

"Your Highness, who are these two?"

When they were fighting the plague before, Song Dingsheng had already become familiar with Qin Ming. When he saw Qin Ming coming back, he came up to greet him.

"Arrange for them both to rest in the barracks. I'll explain it to you later."

"Have Fang Qingyuan and Cao Chuan returned?"

"Those two are here."

"Find someone to take me there."

Qin Ming casually left Sun Cheng and Wei Guangxun behind, and the two followed Song Dingsheng away with confused looks on their faces.

I thought Qin Ming would directly convict them.

Now it seems as if everything is calm.

But beneath this calmness, there is also a sense of worry.

Just when they were feeling a little panicked, a middle-aged man in casual clothes walked over.

"Alas, His Highness is good in every way, but he doesn't follow the rules and is a bit impulsive. Sometimes he offends you, so I hope you can forgive him."

The person who came was naturally Changbaishan.

He is a gossipy person and likes to know everything.

He saw two unfamiliar generals coming over and learned that Qin Ming was going to arrange for them to rest.

So Chang Baishan, who was hanging out outside and had been very idle these days, came over on his own initiative.

He talked about this and that and wanted to ask about the other person's identity.

But even though he was gossipy, he was also very clear-headed.

Matters concerning Qin Ming were always kept strictly under wraps and not revealed at all.

This is also the reason why Qin Ming never replaced him but kept him by his side.

"Is it very painful to follow someone like him?"

Sun Cheng and Wei Guangxun looked at Changbai Mountain.

He looked like a soldier who took him to rest, and seemed a little dissatisfied with Qin Ming.

"You can't say that. Anyway, His Highness is very smart, so let's not talk about him behind his back."

"Where are you two from?"

After Chang Baishan established a closer relationship with them, he stopped talking to them about Qin Ming.

He cleverly raised the topic and talked about the identities of the two people.

"This matter is a bit complicated, so we won't reveal our identities."

Sun Cheng was a little wary.

After all, he is from Qin Ming’s military camp.

They didn't want to say too much.

Seeing this, Chang Baishan took a few steps closer to him.

"It's okay. I'm very tight-lipped. Let me tell you, our Wuwei Battalion and Your Highness are not on the same page. Your Highness just took over, and there's no emotional foundation..."

He walked along, bragging to the two of them all the way.

In order to get some information, he even consciously classified himself as a soldier of the Wuwei Camp.

Hearing that they were all military personnel, Sun Cheng and Wei Guangxun's vigilance was slightly reduced.

In the distance, Qin Ming looked at Chang Baishan, who was talking with Sun Cheng, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Chang Baishan is good in every way except that he is too curious.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Cao Chuan came from behind and looked at Qin Ming in confusion.

"It's okay, let's go and take a look at our workshop."

After Cao Chuan brought the craftsmen over, he handed them all over to Fang Qingyuan.

Now Fang Qingyuan, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, can finally put aside the turbulent circumstances of the imperial court.

Feel free to use your talents here.

In just a few days, he planned the construction of the subsequent workshop and made very thoughtful arrangements for this group of craftsmen.

After Qin Ming arrived, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Lao Fang is a talented person.

They both have the surname Fang, so why is Fang Wenliang such a worthless person?

"Your Highness."

Fang Qingyuan received the news in the afternoon and waited here early to welcome him.

“When will the construction of the craftsmen and workshops be finalized?”

"Maybe in half a month."

Fang Qingyuan thought about it and felt that the construction here was actually not difficult.

Ever since Qin Ming transformed the Wuwei Camp into the Lingnan Construction Corps, they have had sufficient manpower.

The construction speed is also very fast.

"After the workshop is built, should we start producing weapons and equipment for the army? The materials might be a bit expensive."

Fang Qingyuan is a person who thinks three steps ahead before taking one step.

Even before the workshop was fully built, the subsequent situation had already been thought of.

These are not difficult for him.

What he actually wanted to talk about was the issue of money.

After hearing this, Cao Chuan fell silent.

Cao Chuan and he, one is in charge of the army accounts and the other is in charge of the workshop.

After comparing the accounts on both sides, it was clear that Qin Ming did not have much money.

Maintaining an army is a huge expense, and it certainly costs tens of thousands of taels of silver every month.

Not to mention the start of the workshop and the investment of various materials.

If there is only output but no input of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, it will definitely not work.

I can't even make it through a year.

Qin Ming did not respond to this question, but brought up another matter.

"Lao Fang, what do you think of the textile machine?"

Cao Chuan's heart moved.

Yes, Your Highness also has a loom!

With this new tool, they might even be able to make a fortune.

But Fang Qingyuan frowned and said something that made Cao Chuan feel cold in his heart.

"The textile machines are indeed highly efficient, but we don't have the materials and manpower needed to weave silk, cotton, linen, and other types of fabrics. Even if I were to do it, it would take at least three months to complete this task."

"And Your Highness, do you think the revenue from the looms can really cover the needs of the military camps and workshops?"

What he said was similar to what Qin Ming thought.

It is impossible to support such a large military camp with a single industry.

But at this time Qin Ming smiled slightly and said:

"What if I do all the weaving, dyeing, and clothing making?"
