Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"What do you mean?"

Ning Shuang frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

"You don't want to stay here now just because the price I offer is not enough, but what if I give you 30,000 taels of silver notes a month?"

"Thirty thousand taels of silver?"

Even Ning Shuang was a little surprised when she heard the price.

You should know that since the end of the war in Yan Dynasty, Qin Ming has been keeping Ning Shuang in the palace.

Although the pocket money given on a regular basis was quite a lot, it was several hundred taels of silver every month.

But Ning Shuang still needs to go out and run around with the secret guards.

There are some powerful people who are difficult to deal with and Ning Shuang also needs to take action.

She is equivalent to a specially invited elder of the secret guards.

The treatment they enjoy is also very high. Some ordinary members of the secret guards usually only get a few dozen taels of silver at most.

It may be possible to reach over a hundred taels if you complete more tasks.

But even if Ning Shuang did nothing and stayed in the palace, she would earn at least 500 taels of silver every month.

This also makes Ning Shuang's daily life more enjoyable.

However, money is always limited. Sometimes, even Ning Shuang has never had the experience of earning tens of thousands of taels of silver.

I thought that by keeping Ning Shuang in such a wealthy state, I could isolate her from the evil hearts of the outside world.

But even Qin Ming probably didn't expect that Chu Ying's offer was so fierce.

He offered thirty thousand taels of silver to buy this apprentice.

"Yes, that's thirty thousand taels. I'll only give you three figures to think about it."

"three."

"two."

……

"I agree!"

At this time, Ning Shuang nodded directly.

In fact, Chu Ying used another trick here, which was to set a deadline for the other party.

Ning Shuang originally didn't want to become a disciple at all, but now the other party was using this time limit to urge her.

This resulted in Ning Shuang having less time to think.

This approach is also very useful in negotiations.

I saw that the other party finally surrendered under the huge temptation and rapid coercion.

At this time, Chu Ying finally nodded in satisfaction.

With such an apprentice, the burden on his shoulders will be much lighter in the future.

Many of the industries in his hands can also be handed over to Ning Shuang.

The reason why he was attracted to Ning Shuang was not just because Ning Shuang was intelligent.

In fact, there are many people with insight, but few people with long-term vision.

Most people are just a little clever.

But Ning Shuang is like an exquisite uncut jade.

Not only insight, but also vision.

This is very important in doing business, so he chose Ning Shuang.

In addition, this person was specially arranged by Qin Ming, so there is definitely no need to worry.

Thinking of this, he burst into laughter, and then casually pulled out a thick stack of silver bills from his sleeve.

"This month's silver, give me three thousand taels first."

"We have to follow the rules. My apprentices here are required to pay a month's salary in advance. However, since you just arrived and don't have much money, I will give you this three thousand taels as an advance. You will receive your full salary next month."

"what?"

After Ning Shuang took the banknote from the other party, she suddenly realized something was wrong.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"You're so sinister, a bit like a woman I know."

The person she was talking about was Wan Shu.

Because they often lived in the palace, Ning Shuang and Wan Shu had a lot of contact.

The man in front of her actually gave her the feeling of talking to Wan Shu.

"At least my intentions are good. I just want you to learn a new skill. Who else would pay you to teach me like this?"

"If you don't want to, just give me the banknote back."

"That won't do. The money is already in my pocket, so there's no reason for me to leave. I'll stay here for a few months at most. I'm sure I'll learn everything. When I make enough money, I'll go back to Daqian and enjoy myself."

Ning Shuang put her hands on her hips and hummed twice.

Chu Ying nodded with satisfaction, and immediately discovered another good point of Ning Shuang, that is, she loves money.

A good businessman must love money, and even must be obsessed with money.

Only in this way can you have strong self-motivation.

Just when they had discussed it.

Sun Jinshan suddenly ran over in a hurry from outside.

"Boss Chu, something bad has happened."

"what's up?"

"Go and tell His Majesty that Hua Yunhong has learned about our assistance to Hua Yuanzheng."

"Oh?"

When he heard this, Chu Ying frowned slightly.

But after thinking about it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, Qin Ming had already told them that if he came as a witness between the two of them.

It will be as they originally wrote in the letter

Let Hua Yuanzheng retreat to the north, and Hua Yunhong must stop after entering Shenmu City.

But the actual situation is that Hua Yunhong did not stop.

Hua Yuanzheng continued to flee towards the north, so it was only right for them to help at this time.

"Did Hua Yunhong make any moves?"

"There hasn't been any major movement. It was just recently announced that they would be boarding the plane, and all officials have been preparing for the past two days."

"The major forces within the Shenmu Kingdom have already begun preparing gifts. Why don't we take this opportunity to send some to them and see what their attitude is."

The ascension of a new emperor is a big event, especially one that has gone through so many twists and turns.

So in this case, Hua Yunhong definitely wants to make the scene as big as possible.

This is the only way to show his power.

"Okay, I see."

Chu Ying nodded slowly and immediately delivered the message to Qin Ming.

When seeing this scene, Qin Ming was not too worried.

He called Elder Song over to discuss the matter.

"This guy is about to ascend the throne, and we have already helped Hua Yuanzheng."

"He might attack Brother Tongbao in the future. Your Majesty, why don't we start by intimidating him, like getting Fang Yuanjian to move?"

At this time, Elder Song immediately expressed his thoughts.

However, Qin Ming's eyes flickered at this time, and he looked down at the booklet in his hand.

"Trying to intimidate such a large kingdom would probably backfire."

"Before Hua Yunhong ascended the throne, he was a staunch conservative. What do you think will happen after he ascends the throne?"

At this time, Qin Ming suddenly asked a question that had no beginning or end.

When hearing this, Elder Song guessed a little about what he was thinking.

"He was originally a staunch conservative because he wanted to win the support of the old ministers."

"But after this struggle for the throne, many forces in the court have been slaughtered. He no longer needs their support."

"Your Majesty, do you mean... that he will change his stance now?"

“I really think it’s possible.”

Qin Ming smiled and nodded in response.

"But how do we test it?" asked Elder Song.

"It's simple. Send us a blueprint of a steam engine for a train."
