Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"To be honest, even if Tongbao Pavilion is unable to survive in the future, we will divide the territory among our own people and start a new business."

"Instead of having an outsider dominate us, if that's the case, it would be better for us to just go our separate ways and manage ourselves from now on."

When it came to this, Sun Jinshan finally had a showdown with Hua Yunhong.

The problem they are facing now is that Chu Ying’s strength has suddenly become much stronger than theirs.

The other party forced them to sell the entire Tongbao Pavilion.

This situation is unacceptable to anyone.

In order to deal with Chu Ying, they naturally thought of Hua Yunhong, who had now lost his power.

To be precise, Hua Yunhong is not losing power now.

But he really needs help now.

If someone could come to his aid at this time, he would definitely stand firmly on his side.

Once Hua Yunhong successfully ascends the throne, they will enjoy endless wealth and glory.

Seeing that Sun Jinshan was willing to come to him, Hua Yunhong showed approval on his face.

Many people felt that his throne was not secure.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But if you really think he can't ascend the throne, then there is a problem.

You must know that Hua Yunhong still has a lot of troops in his hands. Even if these troops forcibly enter Shenmu City, they can still put him on the throne.

As long as he ascends the throne, all subsequent problems can be solved slowly.

Although this was far from his own expectations.

But as long as he could get the throne, it would be enough.

Thinking of this, he slowly spoke:

"Go ahead and do it. My people will help you. If you have a chance, you can get to know someone here and let Du Zi introduce them to you."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I am willing to serve you at my utmost."

Sun Jinshan is also a very understanding person.

Now that Hua Yunhong has expressed his stance to him, he naturally has to express his stance as well.

He immediately knelt in front of Hua Yunhong and saluted.

From now on, he belongs to Hua Yunhong.

Seeing that he could also get involved in Tongbao Pavilion, Hua Yunhong was very satisfied at this time.

In fact, his target is not just Tongbao Pavilion.

There are still many forces within the country, but what kind of high-ranking officials are behind these forces?

He still doesn't quite understand.

Only the seriously ill old emperor knew.

This is also a deep water area that he has never touched before.

Although they had previously spent some time managing the smuggling problem in Tongbao Pavilion.

But in the end it was all a lot of noise but little action.

After causing some losses to Tongbao Pavilion, their top leaders were still not affected.

They changed their shell and started smuggling again.

However, this time when they were smuggling, they began to pay attention to the scale and would not offend Hua Yunhong.

"What are you going to do? Tell me first, what is the biggest problem on Chu Ying's side right now?"

"I wanted to first pull all the chambers of commerce here to my side, so that they can help me maintain Tongbao Pavilion while expanding the power in my hands. However, the recent Thursday's affairs are no longer under my control, and Chu Ying actually pulled a group of people on his own."

When he said this, Sun Jinshan's face looked a little ugly.

In fact, he doesn't have many chips in his hand.

In terms of goods competition, his goods are nothing compared to those smuggled goods.

Chu Ying has the goods in his hands, and anyone who follows him can make money.

This is a fundamental problem that few people can control.

It was precisely because of this that he successfully attracted many merchants with his goods.

Besides that, there's the money this guy has.

Many times, they have to hold back goods and money during the transaction process.

But it is completely unnecessary for Chu Ying.

As long as you can trade with him, you can settle the payment and goods in person.

Never deduct any money from others.

This directly violated the rules of the market and created a huge gap between Sun Jinshan, who already had limited funds, and him.

Hua Yunhong and Du Zi frowned when they heard what he said.

"From what I know, Chu Ying probably didn't just spend money and goods in your area. There are also many traces of him throughout the Shenmu Kingdom."

At this time, Du Zi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

His face looked a little ugly, and he looked at Hua Yunhong beside him.

When hearing this, Hua Yunhong was suddenly stunned.

"Do you mean to say that besides the south, there are many other places that are being affected by his methods like this?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Du Zi nodded immediately.

Sun Jinshan was a little hesitant at this time. He knew what Hua Yunhong and Du Zi meant.

If Chu Ying spent a lot of effort, it would only affect the business environment in this area in the south.

Well, they can still handle it.

But the current situation is completely different from what Sun Jinshan said.

The trouble Sun Jinshan encountered was just one part of Chu Ying's plan.

Their strength has reached an unimaginable level.

Not only can he easily suppress Sun Jinshan, but even the big families in other regions will face the heavy pressure from Chu Ying.

This kind of courage alone was beyond their understanding.

It is obvious that this was definitely Qin Ming's instigation.

Without Qin Ming's support, they would never have been able to reach this scale and level.

Having said this, Hua Yunhong on the side spoke directly:

"How about this, you don't need to work so hard locally anymore. Go contact people of your level in other regions."

"Let them unite. If they are willing to support me, after I ascend the throne, I will give them the benefits they desire. I can even allow them to smuggle in the open and reduce their taxes by more than 80%."

"what?"

At this time, Sun Jinshan on the side widened his eyes.

He took a few steps back in disbelief, and even Du Zi next to him hurriedly advised him.

"Your Highness, this is no small matter. How can you make such a decision?"

"I don't have many chips in my hand. If I don't do this, I may not have another chance later."

Hua Yunhong spoke slowly, his tone firm.

Their biggest problem now is smuggling.

If they could be allowed to smuggle in the open, everything would be solved.

Once Hua Yunhong takes office, he will directly eliminate most of their extremely heavy commercial taxes.

By then, the cost of smuggling and direct business will actually be about the same.

On the contrary, they have to be worried when smuggling.

It is estimated that at that time many people would give up smuggling and choose to do business directly.

In this case, Chu Ying would lose all his base.
