Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!
Chapter 75: The actor of the cloth shop, the cooperation is terminated
Soon, news of the targeted reduction of power among the feudal lords spread from the capital.
Chen Shimao did not hide anything and sent the news directly to Qin Ming.
Half a month later, Qin Ming's first round of production and construction was finally completed.
But troubles also followed.
"The court will arrange for someone to come and take over the Three Guards."
That day, Qin Ming put the news in front of Cao Chuan and Liu Chuang.
The two of them looked at it and just said "oh" without doing anything big.
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
Qin Ming looked at the two of them suspiciously. Liu Chuang patted his chest and said:
"What are you afraid of? With us here, are you afraid that we won't be able to defend the southern border?"
"Your Highness, our weapons and equipment are almost fully equipped. The Three Guards have always been on the emperor's payroll, so it has little to do with us."
Cao Chuan also continued to explain.
The court had indeed missed the point.
But they really could only start with the three guards.
Because apart from the Three Guards, there is the Wuwei Camp.
Wuwei Camp has always been self-sufficient, but now the number of people has increased to nearly 10,000, which is a huge expense.
If the imperial court took over, it would mean that they would need to pay a lot more military pay and imperial grain.
That certainly won't work.
So they could only scratch the surface and find three guards to guard the border.
This has even less impact on Qin Ming.
"You are right, but that is not why I called you here today."
Qin Ming smiled, put the letter from the court aside, and took out another letter.
"Fang Qingyuan sent a letter back saying that the soldiers who went to transport the cloth for the trade have all returned with the goods."
"What!?"
If the original news from the court could not move them, then this news would definitely affect their mentality.
Liu Chuang and Cao Chuan were suddenly worried, because the cloth shop was their lifeline.
If the business fails, there will be no way to maintain it later.
"Why? Could it be the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce?"
Cao Chuan quickly figured out the reason.
Qin Ming nodded slowly:
"All of our private collaborators have been identified, and the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce has begun to put pressure on them."
"What should I do? Should I kill them all?"
Liu Chuang thought about it and came up with an extremely violent method.
"That's the last resort."
Qin Ming did not deny Liu Chuang's idea. If it really didn't work, he would do a major cleanup.
Anyway, he has to make money.
But it really came to that.
Qin Ming estimated that if all the people from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce were killed, the economy of the entire Lingnan region would collapse.
"Don't worry, I'll go find someone."
Qin Ming planned to find Zhou Ci to see what the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce had to say.
However, when they arrived at the Chamber of Commerce branch, they saw that Zhou Ci was not there.
At this time, Song Dingsheng brought Fang Qingyuan to Qin Ming.
"Your Highness, Lord Fang said he wanted to see you, so I brought you here."
"Why are you back?"
Qin Ming looked at Fang Qingyuan in surprise.
Fang Qingyuan frowned and said:
"Those shipments were rejected so quickly, almost at the same time. I suspect there's something wrong with the people on your side."
"That's impossible, Master Fang, please stop talking nonsense."
Song Dingsheng was shocked.
Fang Qingyuan is really straightforward. If something really happens, he even dares to suspect Qin Ming.
Qin Ming thought what he said made sense.
"How's the situation over there? Can Qiantang City still be stabilized?"
"No, they're closed. All the shops are now used as warehouses, and there's a lot of cloth piled up."
Fang Qingyuan frowned.
He seems to have suddenly become idle recently and has nothing to do.
I can only go back to Linjiang City to discuss it with Qin Ming first.
"Can you transport it to other wealthy places and sell it? Let Han Mingrui help you."
"A batch has been sent over, but distant water cannot quench immediate thirst."
"I understand. You should go back to the barracks first."
Qin Ming nodded slowly and asked Song Dingsheng to take his men away first.
The situation he was most worried about finally happened.
If only I could get a list of all the merchants who secretly cooperated with me behind the back of Lingnan Chamber of Commerce in a short period of time.
Then the only way is to go to Guan Yue’s cloth shop, where there are many account books of Qin Ming.
"Wan Shu..."
Read out the name word by word.
Qin Ming walked towards another street.
Guan Yue has been running the store steadily these past few days without any problems.
When Qin Ming arrived, she was still sitting in the store, wearing clothes made from the store's cloth.
This was a solution she came up with under Qin Ming's guidance.
After all, she is very beautiful and has a good figure, so she can easily wear the clothes in the cloth shop beautifully.
She usually wears beautiful clothes and works as a beauty in a cloth shop.
It's easy to put out an ad.
"You're here."
Seeing Qin Ming coming over, Guan Yue raised her head blankly, a little confused.
Usually at this time, Qin Ming is in the military camp.
"Where's Wan Shu?"
Without further explanation, Qin Ming asked directly.
"She left... It seems like you bullied her a few days ago, leaving her with a knot in her heart. She only stayed here for a few days before she left."
"Is anyone else leaving?"
"No, she's the only one who comes and goes lately."
Guan Yue seemed to have not figured everything out yet.
Qin Ming sighed slightly.
"really."
This woman is such a good actress!
Pretending to be gentle and well-behaved, she sneaked into the cloth shop.
Qin Ming was just suspicious at first, but now it seems that Wan Shu is really an undercover arranged by Zhou Ci.
The means of commercial competition in this era are really direct!
"No wonder Zhou Ci also ran away."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Guan Yue saw Qin Ming's serious expression and immediately stood up and asked with some concern.
"She may have kept track of our account books and knows the names of the merchants we do business with privately."
"How could this happen! I want to go find her!"
Apart from occasionally showing a little temper, Guan Yue is usually very gentle to the people around her and does not deliberately guard against them.
During the few days that Wan Shu entered the cloth shop, Guan Yue was the one who could take care of him best she could since he was a newcomer.
But I didn't expect that I would raise such an ungrateful person.
"I'll ask Chang Baishan to find it. You take the account book and seal it up."
Qin Ming figured everything out and immediately turned back to rush towards the Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhou Ci, who had received the news, standing at the door waiting for me.
"Your Highness, you are here."
"Are you waiting here for me?"
Qin Ming narrowed his eyes and stared at him quietly.
Zhou Ci smiled faintly, with an unconcealable look of pride on his face.
"I'm here to inform you on behalf of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce."
"Because of your recent unruly behavior and your failure to provide any explanation, Mr. Shang has decided to temporarily suspend the supply of ore to the Wuwei Camp."
Upon hearing this news, Qin Ming frowned slightly and said:
"You have the time to deal with Wuwei Camp and the Cloth Shop, but why don't you dare talk to me face to face? And you still want to explain yourself?"
Qin Ming waited for half a month, but in the end he only faced the full pressure from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.
It's not just the cloth shops that are restricted, the goods are piling up.
Even the workshop in Wuweiying was difficult to maintain.
This will definitely not work.
He wanted to take a chance.
