Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Why don't you dare?"

Qin Ming looked calm and asked indifferently.

When they heard that Qin Ming had sent troops, several wealthy businessmen from the Capital Chamber of Commerce, including their president Jin Wansan, were so scared that they ran away on the spot.

After all, they and the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce invited them here together.

Now Qin Ming took the opportunity to send all his troops over.

This made the people in the Beijing Chamber of Commerce somewhat afraid of being implicated.

"We are not pushovers either. If Your Majesty really does this, I'm afraid the Northwest's economy will collapse within half a month."

Wan Yunhao was still relatively calm and spoke up to refute Qin Ming at this time.

To be honest, he really didn't believe that Qin Ming would really dare to kill all of their people.

"Yes, but this is all within my acceptable range."

Qin Ming shook his head. Several big families in the northwest could fall, and then it would take a few years to rebuild this place.

But if they refuse to cooperate and insist on being rebels, Qin Ming will never give them a chance even if he has to use the limited troops he has.

"You poor, poor, arrogant man, you asked us to pay money, and you take it for granted?"

"Okay, I'll wait here for you, the Emperor Daqian, to come and take my head!"

Faced with Qin Ming's behavior, Xu Kang angrily flicked his sleeves and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Wan Yunhao quickly grabbed him.

"Xu Kang, why are you so anxious?"

"Why should I be so anxious? He's already like this, what else is there to say?"

The Xu family and the Wan family are both the most prestigious families in the northwest. If they bow to Qin Ming here, they will not have the face to rule the northwest and lead the various wealthy families when they return.

Xu Kang naturally did not want to compromise and let Qin Ming withdraw his troops.

At worst, we’ll fight!

"Your Majesty has said this. Perhaps there is another way?"

Seeing that Xu Kang was about to leave, Wan Yunhao had to take the initiative to speak.

Everyone at the scene also looked at Qin Ming.

The problem of smuggling is actually not a big problem compared to the wealthy families in the northwest.

"Master Wan is indeed a smart man."

Qin Ming smiled and continued:

"Old Chang, bring the list of goods sent by Yan Chao for them to see."

"coming!"

Chang Baishan quickly walked to the round table and threw a large pile of things on the table.

"what is this?"

Several representatives from wealthy families came forward to take a look and were shocked to find that this was a trade demand from the Yan Dynasty.

There are ironware, cloth, bicycles and other things produced by various civilian factories.

"Sending the factory's products to me will earn you less than smuggling them, but no matter how much goods you produce, I have a market to help you sell them. The only condition is that you build a canal."

"Everyone says I'm unwilling to pay for this canal. Who paid me for the military expenses I spent on the war against Yan Dynasty?"

"Now that shipping routes have been opened, the overseas market is almost limitless, yet you are still ridiculously fighting for that little piece of land."

"Change your mind and build a canal to the capital. I wonder how much effort it would save you. But now you think I'm harming you. How ridiculous."

Qin Ming's words quickly calmed everyone's angry expressions.

Even Xu Kang, who had been clamoring to leave, walked forward and looked through the thick stack of lists.

If you want something from somewhere else, you only need a one-page list at most.

But the Yan Dynasty was different.

The Four Pillar States, the Yan royal family, as well as their local wealthy businessmen, royal nobles, each force is almost an independent entity.

Having just experienced a great war, they were all recuperating.

Therefore, almost every force, as long as they have some money, will obtain goods from the Daqian Dynasty with exaggerated productivity under Qin Ming.

This also made Qin Ming's overseas trade extremely frequent.

"These...are too many."

Finally, when faced with such huge benefits, the representative of the Sun family almost subconsciously expressed his admiration.

With so much demand, they just have to keep the factories running at full capacity.

As long as you do enough, why worry about not making money or being squeezed out of the market?

Everyone knows that smuggling is bad, but the original market is so small that if you don’t smuggle, you will starve.

Now there will be absolutely no such worries.

"I'm not asking you to build a canal. Consider this canal as the military funding you provided for your participation in the Yan Dynasty War. How do you think?"

Having taken over such a large market in Yan Dynasty, Qin Mingbai knew that it was absolutely impossible to hand it over to the major families in the northwest.

If you want to do business, you must be affiliated with the court.

In this way, the imperial court can better control those big families.

"Your Majesty, can this business last?"

Wan Yunhao hesitated for a moment, and then asked what was on his mind with some hesitation.

He felt that this kind of business was indeed good, but there was one problem: after the canal construction was completed, the business might be over.

The Yan Dynasty only needs these when the war is over. What about after the recovery? Will they still be needed?

"Of course, your Majesty and I can both guarantee this."

When everyone was confused, a figure appeared outside the door.

The person who came was Wan Shu.

As soon as she entered the door, she stood behind Qin Ming intimately, and placed her two delicate hands gently on Qin Ming's shoulders.

Everyone present here is an experienced person, and having seen this, the relationship between the two is self-evident...

Many of the big families gathered around the round table knew about the ambiguous relationship between the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce and the Wan family.

When seeing this scene at this moment, everyone's heart was filled with shock!

The Wan family has great vision!

This blessing is really enviable!

To be honest, over the years, the Wan family has not provided much help to Wan Shu, a side branch.

It’s nothing more than offering help at a critical moment.

Wan Shu’s current situation is all due to his luck and ability.

But it is undeniable that Wan Shu always has the blood of the Wan family.

This means that if she had a relationship with Qin Ming, the Wan family would be promoted to the ranks of royal relatives right now!

"Xiao Shu, you..."

Wan Yunhao was also shocked by this scene.

He quickly turned his head and saw Xu Kang's eyes full of resentment.

It was obvious that Xu Kang felt that he had already stood on the same side with Qin Ming, and he came here today purely to cooperate with Qin Ming.

"Keep acting! Wan Yunhao, you shameless bastard, you really have a good trick!"

Xu Kang spat in his face and cursed him viciously.

"Old Xu, I really don't know!"

Wan Yunhao had no way to defend himself. On the one hand, he knew that his family member was about to become the imperial concubine, and on the other hand, he was classified as a member of Qin Ming's faction by all the wealthy families in the northwest.

He really didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

Just when he was feeling mixed emotions, Qin Ming finally spoke.

"Everyone, do you believe now that I will not let this canal be built in vain?"

Xu Kang immediately retorted:

"Yes, you will definitely prioritize the interests of the Wan family. It's a pity that we are not royal relatives, so we can be discarded like a worn-out shoe."

"That's not the case. You may not believe what I say, but you must believe what one person says."

As he spoke, Qin Ming looked outside the door.
