Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!
Chapter 98 If you want to be rich, build roads first
Qin Ming originally asked the workshop to produce a batch of cement with the help of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.
Because we need to strengthen the city walls of the two passes in Jingdong, we are still working on it.
Hearing this, Cao Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and Chang Baishan also suddenly realized.
"So that's how it is. That's a good idea."
"Don't forget, we have tires at the back to cooperate with. Our transportation effect will definitely be very good then."
Qin Ming reminded them.
Cao Chuan said with anticipation:
"If the original three-day journey can be shortened to two, wouldn't we be invincible in Lingnan?"
"Of course you can. The concrete road and tires can increase the speed. Paired with a tricycle, people can ride and transport the goods. Unlike horses, they don't have to rest after running for a while."
The method of transportation by horse-drawn carriage is actually not very good.
A horse needs to eat a lot every day and also rest for a long time.
If they had tricycles, they could take turns riding them day and night.
One tricycle with two or three people can definitely make the exchange!
Just as they were taking advantage of the night to think about the wonderful uses of the tricycle.
Song Dingsheng brought Fang Qingyuan to the military camp.
"Your Highness, I heard you created some new means of transportation."
As soon as he arrived at the place, Fang Qingyuan asked about these things without any nonsense.
He often has headaches because of traffic problems.
As soon as I got the news today, I rushed to Qin Ming’s military camp without stopping.
"Yes."
Qin Ming smiled and introduced the wonderful uses of the tricycle.
Then I mentioned to him the idea of building Lingnan.
Although this would cost tens or even millions of taels of silver.
But Fang Qingyuan nodded lightly.
"I agree with you."
"Hmm? Lord Fang, I remember you're usually very frugal. How come you agreed to something like this so easily?"
Song Dingsheng looked at Fang Qingyuan in surprise.
“This is a big deal.”
Fang Qingyuan said briefly, then turned to Qin Ming and said:
"Your Highness, I want three hundred tricycles within three days, distributed throughout Lingnan."
"This... might be a little difficult. We still have to make the tires later."
Qin Ming is still waiting for Nanman to trade rubber with him.
In the short term, we will only make some prototypes, and then we will improve the tricycle later.
Make it more suitable for long-distance transportation.
There is no requirement to travel a thousand miles a day. A few people can take turns riding a tricycle and run a hundred miles a day.
"I can not wait anymore."
Fang Qingyuan frowned and spoke in a firm tone.
"Did anything happen to you?"
Qin Ming looked at him in surprise.
Fang Qingyuan took out a letter.
"Your Highness, businesses across the country have recently been taken over by a chamber of commerce in Lake West. They've stolen your textile technology and are shipping large quantities of goods to us. If we don't control this, we'll have no money to earn in the future!"
Upon hearing this news, Qin Ming frowned.
"Huxi, isn't that Xiao Qinian's territory?"
"It originally belonged to him, but he made a serious mistake there before and has now been transferred to the north. I guess in a while, through Concubine Xiao Shu's relationship, he will be able to enter the court."
Qin Ming frowned when he heard that this guy could be promoted despite being sick.
It seems that the chaos in the court has become more and more serious.
If even people like this can sneak in, how can anything good happen?
"Who is the new Governor-General of Huguang?"
"His name is Wu Dingbo. He's said to have a strong connection to that Chamber of Commerce. However, he's very careful in his actions, so it's difficult for you to deal with him. You should deal with this Chamber of Commerce first."
When mentioning this person, Fang Qingyuan's face turned gloomy.
It seemed that he had suffered some loss at his hands, so he came back here in a hurry.
It is indeed outrageous to let people from Huxi come to Lingnan to do business.
It's already a wealthy place, so just don't let Lingnan go there to make money.
Instead, I am still thinking about the little things in Lingnan.
Qin Ming had heard a little about Wu Dingbo.
This is a guy who has been lukewarm for many years.
He was originally a high-ranking official in charge of the affairs of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and had some political achievements.
But I didn't expect that this guy was actually Concubine Xiao Shufei's man.
"It's not a good thing."
"Yes, Your Highness, we must hurry."
Fang Qingyuan spoke very seriously. Although he was being targeted, he still wanted to find an opportunity to break the deadlock.
"Then three days. I'll give you a batch of tricycles to use within those three days."
A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.
He wanted to expand his business and do business on his own territory.
We can definitely find an opportunity to take them down.
However, there is a leak about textile machines, and it is a large-scale leak.
Qin Ming always felt something was strange.
"I have something to do, so I have to go back first."
After saying something to them, Qin Ming turned around and left the military camp and returned to Linjiang City.
This place has gradually become prosperous.
Because there are so many people living here, trade and economic flows are very rapid, and the place is brightly lit every night.
The door of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce branch was pushed open with a bang.
Qin Ming found Wan Shu here.
"What are you doing, so late at night?"
He saw Qin Ming rushing towards him.
The warm breath sprayed on her face, and Wan Shu blushed suddenly.
"The textile machine blueprints were stolen, and they weren't leaked here, but to the Chamber of Commerce in Huxi."
Qin Ming's words made Wan Shu immediately understand what he meant.
"Are you doubting me?"
"Except for your Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, few powerful people have noticed that the weaving machines in the weaving bureau are different from those on the market."
"I didn't do it!"
Wan Shu frowned and glared at Qin Ming.
He turned around and prepared to close the door.
Holding the door frame, Qin Ming stopped the other party from closing the door.
"What if someone else from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce did it? Can you be sure?"
"..."
Wan Shu was silent.
Just as Qin Ming thought, even the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce could not be a united front.
What's more, a young girl like Wan Shu is in charge of this chamber of commerce.
It's normal for someone below to try to use tricks and pull her down.
"You mean, someone inside the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce stole your textile machine blueprints and found an opportunity to send them to Huxi?"
"Apart from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, I can't think of anyone else who has this kind of means, and who can deliver it to Huxi from such a long distance in one go."
Qin Ming nodded.
This made Wan Shu even more angry.
"So you've always thought of us this way!"
"I'm sorry, but Fang Qingyuan won't make any mistakes. The problems he didn't find in his business are likely caused by me."
"You are so conceited. Do you really think that everything in the world is as you think it is? Do you think you can understand everything?"
"I'll check it out, and if I'm wrong, I'll apologize to you."
Qin Ming looked at Wan Shu with burning eyes.
Wan Shu snorted coldly, pushed him away, and then slammed the door.
Standing outside the door, Qin Ming sighed helplessly.
But at this moment a voice came from the room:
"I will investigate as well, but remember, if I don't find anything, the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce will cut ties with you!"
