Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Welcome Your Highness back in triumph!"

Just as Qin Ming was standing in front of the city gate and looking at the long street in the distance.

Song Dingsheng brought a group of people and quickly came to Qin Ming to greet him.

"Why has Linjiang City changed?"

Qin Ming looked at Song Dingsheng and spoke in surprise.

Song Dingsheng said proudly:

"Hasn't the workshop recently gathered a large number of craftsmen, and the textile factory has also recruited a large number of workers."

"Many craftsmen and laborers who come home from their late shifts and have nowhere to eat will stop by the city to have a few drinks and have some fun."

"Originally, there were only a few street stalls, but the people from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce bought a few shops and converted them into restaurants. In the past two weeks alone, three restaurants have been built in Linjiang City..."

He chattered to Qin Ming about the changes in Linjiang City.

In more than two months, Linjiang City absorbed residents from many surrounding counties and main cities.

Everyone says that you can make money here. Just working as a laborer in a textile factory can earn you several thousand dollars a month.

"It's so fast."

"It's all thanks to Mr. Fang. He recently went to Huxi to do business again and won orders worth over 300,000 taels in one go. Now, there are hundreds of cloth shops cooperating with us!"

As Song Dingsheng spoke, he mentioned Fang Qingyuan.

Speaking of which, since coming to Lingnan, even Qin Ming has only seen Fang Qingyuan a few times.

One advantage of this person is that there are many things that Qin Ming doesn't need to say at all.

I can do it myself.

“What a talent…!”

Qin Ming couldn't help but admire him.

If Fang Qingyuan had not chosen the path of imperial examination and official career, he might have made a name for himself as a businessman.

When he returned home, Qin Ming was stunned when he saw his magnificent palace.

"what is this?"

"Your Highness, the small three-room courtyard you previously lived in was too shabby, so I took it upon myself to expand it into two large courtyards with three gates. This will also provide convenience for your two rooms..."

"Stop! When did it become two rooms?"

Qin Ming interrupted him and asked in confusion.

"Oh, I understand."

Fang Qingyuan spoke with a smile, his face full of an expression that said "I understand."

For example, as a vassal king, reputation is very important to Qin Ming.

Sometimes, even if you marry several wives, you can't make it public.

"Forget it, I'm tired from traveling so I'll just take a rest these few days. If there's nothing else to do, please don't bother me."

Qin Ming waved his hand and let him go down first.

As for myself, I opened the door and prepared to find a room to sleep.

Song Dingsheng responded and left with understanding.

With a creak, Qin Ming walked from the front yard to the back yard.

Suddenly, I saw two figures sitting in the pavilion, seemingly talking in whispers.

After seeing the identities of the two people clearly, Qin Ming turned around and left!

"Hey, why are you running?"

Wan Shu's voice came from behind.

Qin Ming seemed not to hear and quickened his pace.

But at this moment, a jade hand suddenly held his arm.

The person who came was Guan Yue, who had already returned to Linjiang City.

Qin Ming, who had never practiced martial arts, naturally could not withstand Guan Yue, whose lower body was as hard as a rock.

He was grabbed.

"You are such a heartless man! My sister and I often talk about you, but why did you run away when we met?"

"I'm not running. I just suddenly remembered that I have something else to do."

"I see you don't want to pay back the money owed to our Lingnan Chamber of Commerce?"

Wan Shu followed from behind and asked Qin Ming jokingly.

"Of course I will. Give me a few more days."

Qin Ming used all his money to supplement military supplies.

Fang Qingyuan's order has not been completed yet.

The imperial court gave him a batch, but Qin Ming needed to build mines himself and pay the army, so he definitely could not give it to him.

He could only continue to delay the payment of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce's money.

"Forget it. Can you tell me how penicillin is made? I see it's written at the bottom of your list."

Wan Shu, as a member of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, immediately thought of a new exchange condition.

In fact, recently the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce has made a lot of money just from the MSG, oyster sauce, light soy sauce and other scraps that Qin Ming took out.

This is also the reason why Wan Shu tolerated Qin Ming's debt and not paying it back.

Hearing the other party asking for penicillin, Qin Ming smiled bitterly and said:

"As expected of the head of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, you have a very sharp eye."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness... What did you call me?"

Wan Shu's gentle expression suddenly froze, and she raised her head and looked at Qin Ming in disbelief.

Qin Ming shrugged and said:

"Mr. Shang, before we set out on the expedition, didn't I say I wanted to tell you a secret? Actually, I already knew it a long time ago."

Wan Shu was a little surprised, then lowered his head and said unwillingly:

"I was going to tell you myself."

In fact, this was the secret she wanted to tell Qin Ming.

Come to think of it, he was able to mobilize so many resources and casually help Qin Ming extend his debt repayment.

If it’s not Mr. Shang, then who else could it be?

"I think we can discuss future cooperation. After the war, the imperial court will definitely start targeting Lingnan."

Now that he was caught, Wan Shu's identity was revealed.

Qin Ming also took the opportunity to talk to her about what happened next.

"What are you going to do?"

Guan Yue looked at Qin Ming curiously.

Wan Shu was also curious about what Qin Ming would do.

"It's simple. Raise troops."

Qin Ming's purpose is self-evident.

All three guards were integrated into the Wuwei Camp.

He now has nearly 30,000 soldiers under his command, and the remaining soldiers are still being recruited.

Next, we will rely on the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce to expand and strengthen our business.

"It's easy to say, but don't you think about whether the court will give you a chance to develop? Even if it does, do you have the money?"

Wan Shu was right. It would cost a lot to raise an army.

"In a few months, the Nanyang merchant caravan will arrive again. Silk is a hot commodity there."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

At this time, Wan Shu suddenly understood what he meant.

More than half a year has passed since Qin Ming came to Lingnan.

He had already put his plan of planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms into action.

In the past few months, I just need to shift my focus from cotton and linen to silk.

You can easily make a lot of money.

Wan Shu's eyes lit up as he did what he said.

"We don't have a port here. If we want to trade with them on a large scale, we need horse-drawn carriages to transport goods. It's time to use your tires."

"No problem, I happen to be going to Nanman soon."

Qin Ming has taken over the mine. He wants to go and take a look in person and help improve their mining tools.

This increases production.

"That's possible, but I recommend you hire some people from the local tribe."

Wan Shu suddenly said to Qin Ming meaningfully.

"You want to use money to tie them to our ship?"

Qin Ming frowned and quickly understood what Wan Shu meant.

From the military's perspective, it is impossible for Qin Ming to cooperate with the Nanman.

But Wan Shu is a businessman, and he has no hatred for his country or family, only interests.
