Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After Chang Baishan informed Fang Qingyuan of Qin Ming's news last night, he traveled day and night to return to Qiantang City.

His eyes are still bloodshot.

Hearing Wang Shouyan's words, he raised his head, and his slightly confused eyes finally focused.

"Master Wang, is there something wrong?"

"Nothing much, I just heard you guys were closed recently. It's been about ten days, right? If anything happened, tell me and I'll definitely help if I can."

Wang Shouyan's false polite words did not enter Fang Qingyuan's heart.

He waved his hand slowly and said:

"No trouble."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go back to the cloth shop.

He is very busy today and has no time to chat with Wang Shouyan here.

"How is this troublesome?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, the cunning Wang Shouyan immediately stopped him.

"Brother Fang, have you guys been having trouble doing business lately?"

"No."

Fang Qingyuan frowned, walked around them impatiently, and opened the door of the cloth shop with the key he had with him.

"Then how can you close for ten days? Your shops are all very prosperous. If you close for just one day, you'll lose a ton of money."

"I'm a few years older than you, so it's not too much to call you brother. Actually, I, your elder brother, want to give you some silver to buy back these shops..."

While trying to get closer to Fang Qingyuan, Wang Shouyan looked at his expression tentatively.

Unfortunately, the other party ignored him.

"You guys, come over and move the goods. Starting today, the entire Lingnan line will begin transportation."

"Yes!"

A dozen people walked into the cloth shop and began to move the mountains of goods inside out.

Wang Shouyan watched all this in amazement.

Didn’t they become enemies with the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce?

How can the business be so big!

What do you mean you want to do business all over Lingnan?

When he was confused, Fang Qingyuan turned around and said:

"Master Wang, we will not sell this store. Please go back."

He was not a talkative man. After asking everyone to leave, he turned around and went back to the cloth shop.

Soon, Wu Qingye and his men arrived quickly.

His carriage team did not stop all day and continued to transport.

Wang Shouyan, who left in shame, was very confused!

But after hearing the news reported by his subordinates, he didn't know what to do.

Has my dream been shattered again?

……

On the other side, today is the day when Xiao Tiance arrives.

According to convention, he needs to meet Qin Ming first.

Qin Ming, Chang Baishan, Cao Chuan and Liu Chuang were standing at the gate of Wuwei Camp waiting.

In the afternoon, we saw a large group of people arriving.

"See Your Highness."

Xiao Tiance is Xiao Shufei's man, and he is also the only one in this generation of the Xiao family who can rank high in the military camp.

He had a stern face, sharp eyes, and was wearing black armor.

When he came in front of Qin Ming, he just clasped his fists lightly.

He seemed to know clearly what his mission was, so he quickly drew a clear line as soon as he got off the horse.

"Do you know about the Nanman invasion?"

Qin Ming didn't waste time talking to him and got to the point in a calm tone.

"I know. I came here to talk about this as well."

"The court recently sent a batch of supplies, so I won't leave them with you. I'm going to take them with me."

Xiao Tiance nodded, then pointed to the supplies behind him to remind Qin Ming.

In comparison, people like Xiao Tiance who were arranged by the court were like their own children.

Qin Ming seems like a child raised by a stepmother.

This doesn't leave anything for the Wuwei camp.

This was also what Xiao Tiance meant, which was why he specifically mentioned this matter as soon as he got off the horse.

It was just to give Qin Ming a warning.

He took advantage of the situation to establish his military power and prestige in the entire Lingnan.

At all times, the most important things for these soldiers are supplies and pay.

Xiao Tiance obtained special permission from the imperial power to personally control the resources of Lingnan and support the three border guards.

This is a disguised form of weakening the power of the feudal lords.

Qin Ming just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Behind Xiao Tiance, Deputy General Yang Lian stepped forward and explained:

"Your Highness, please don't get emotional. We are currently resisting the Nanman's attack. Moreover, the imperial court only allocated supplies and military pay to the three guards, not to you."

If Xiao Tiance was being honest and upright, then Yang Lian would be a soft-hearted and disgusting person.

His words once again reminded people of the ownership of materials.

He also took the opportunity to tell Qin Ming that the court would not support him.

If Lingnan wants to be stable in the future, it must listen to Xiao Tiance's advice.

Qin Ming had actually anticipated this situation.

After being demoted, the next step was to reduce the power of the vassal states.

This is also why he was eager to find opportunities to make money and support his troops as soon as he landed in Lingnan.

All of this is to guard against the imperial court.

Although it was a bit rushed, we finally caught up.

Before they came, Qin Ming had his own business, workshops and resources to train soldiers.

"can."

Qin Ming smiled calmly, not even angry, he just responded.

"The barracks are still quite busy, so I won't entertain you two. You should report to the border for now."

Qin Ming's words sounded like he was arranging their positions.

Only superiors use this tone when speaking to subordinates.

Xiao Tiance and Yang Lian frowned and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"I heard you enclosed three thousand acres of land?"

Xiao Tiance was not a pushover, and he directly brought up the recent uproar in the court.

"Any questions?"

Qin Ming noticed his little emotion and asked lightly.

"With the recent invasion of the Southern Barbarians, the three guards may not be able to spare any manpower to protect such a large territory of yours. I hope you will bear with me."

"Then you are quite useless. If I had someone in my hands, the Nanman would have retreated long ago."

Qin Ming didn't give him any face at all. The other party's intention was too obvious. He just wanted to use the matter of the Nanman as an excuse.

Maybe at that time a group of people will be deliberately let in to pose a threat to Qin Ming's workshop and military base.

In their view, Qin Ming had no military pay or supplies, and his Wuwei Camp was his only trump card.

The combat effectiveness must be very low.

"Unfortunately, you have nothing in your hands."

"The court has truly let your talent go unnoticed!"

Yang Lian was mocking loudly from the side, with a look of derision on his face.

At this time, the soldiers standing behind them were also very supportive and burst into laughter.

It is natural for these elite soldiers to mock a marginalized army.

"Yang Lian, did you accomplish anything remotely remarkable on the battlefield before? Looking at the skins you two have, I wonder how many false military merits you must have claimed to have gotten to this point!"

"How dare you come to our Wuwei Camp and spew shit?"

Liu Chuang was very angry and started cursing at Yang Lian.

The two of them knew each other, but they belonged to different factions in the army, so there was a lot of hatred between them.

Although Cao Chuan was also angry, he was very calm and directly grabbed Liu Chuang.

Yang Lian got angry when people talked about his dark history.

"Liu Chuang, you must have starved yourself out in Lingnan. How I got here is none of your business!"
