Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Yang and said with a smile, "Just by looking at you, I can tell what you're going to say the moment you bend over... Although they didn't say anything, judging from your expression, as their leader now, you must have something to say..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang was not angry at all. He laughed and agreed.

Xiao Ce smiled at Xiao Yang, then said, "Alright, then you can speak..."

Looking at Xiao Ce's expression, Xiao Yang stammered and then rubbed his hands together.

Looking at Xiao Yang's expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Alright, just say what you want to say... What's there to dawdle over? Don't you know my temper? I won't agree to anything just because you're beating around the bush..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled broadly and nodded, "Yes, yes, brother, you're right..."

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang, "Then stop just saying yes and yes, tell me what you want to do."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Brother, we just feel that the automobile industry is definitely a major trend. Although it's rare now, it will eventually replace horse-drawn carriages. Actually, the cost of a car isn't that high... it's possible to popularize it..."

Seeing that Xiao Yang had gone through such a long and complicated process, Xiao Ce had already guessed what he had thought of.

Xiao Ce smiled at Xiao Yang, but Xiao Yang noticed that he didn't speak directly.

He certainly couldn't say it directly...

"Oh? If this car becomes more widespread, then the price will inevitably drop... which will then affect the Darklight brand of cars..."

Xiao Ce actually knew what Xiao Yang was going to say, so he said it on purpose.

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Brother, I've thought about that too. Actually, it's not necessarily the Dark Light brand that's doing this. The Dark Light brand focuses on its scarcity. Just like the Dark Light brand sells bags and clothes, other brands also sell them... The Dark Light brand sells the brand."

"But the Darklight brand is the first car in the West, which is enough to give this car its value. Ordinary people can also use the car. We can do some more ordinary ones, such as those engines. In the future, the most advanced ones will definitely be used for the Darklight brand. We can use the outdated ones, but they are usable and cheaper."

"Of course, this price is cheap, but it's relative. Even for the middle class, it would take several years of income to afford it... In fact, it won't affect the Dark Light brand... In this way, the Roman Empire can have a pillar industry, because the entire West will be a huge market in the future..."

After hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "So, you want to do this business?"

Xiao Yang nodded: "Big brother, don't worry, we're on the same side... I'm not trying to take advantage, firstly because we now firmly control the Roman Empire, and if the Roman Empire seizes this opportunity and gains the upper hand, it will also benefit us... Then, while my sister-in-law's British Empire develops its military industry, we'll develop our industrial machinery... Wouldn't we be able to dominate the West?"

When Xiao Ce heard Xiao Yang mention "little sister-in-law," his expression turned to one of amusement and exasperation as he asked, "Little sister-in-law?"

Seeing Xiao Ce winking and making faces at Xiao Yang, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to do this... Boudica is my acknowledged sister..."

Xiao Yang then chimed in, echoing Yin Pan'er, "Big brother, that's right, you underestimate our sister-in-law..."

Xiao Ce didn't want to continue this discussion, and instead said to Xiao Yang, "Alright, we're getting off-topic. If you want to do it, then just do it..."

Xiao Yang gave an awkward smile, then said to Xiao Ce, "Brother, if I could do it myself, would I have asked you? This isn't like those engines; it's already a very sophisticated product..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Xiao Yang and then said, "So, you want me to give you their engine manufacturing technology?"

Xiao Yang chuckled, "Not bad, but, brother, I won't take it for nothing. We can pay a hefty patent fee upfront. And this patent fee can have a time limit, and we can even give them 10% of the net profit from every car we sell... Brother, I won't let our country suffer... I've researched it, this is a win-win situation. These engines should be like those firearms... they'll all be phased out... We can have the ones that are phased out... We're not picky..."

"Furthermore, the cars we produce in the future can be differentiated from luxury cars. This will make those luxury cars feel that their high prices are justified..."

Xiao Ce nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do as you say..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled, then asked with an incredulous look, "Big brother, you agree?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "You've already prepared everything, and what you said makes sense. I can't refuse you..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and then said, "So you agree?"

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang, "Don't worry, I'll give you face if you bring it up later. How about this: let someone else bring it up first, and when they do, I'll pretend to be hesitant. Then, when you bring it up, I'll agree... Does that work?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang smiled and nodded, "Brother, you really understand me... Good... good... good... However, for me to do this, I still need you to send a letter to the Heavenly Mystery Institute..."

"You really agreed? This involves changing many people, even the future industrial landscape of the West... Brother, are you really willing...?"

Xiao Ce knew what Xiao Yang meant by saying that...

"Don't worry, since I trust you... I feel these things are fine... I'm willing to believe you..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang replied, "Alright, Brother, since you're willing to trust me, I will definitely not let you down..."

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded, then asked, "Do you have any paper and pen here?"

Xiao Yang nodded directly, then took out a pen and paper from his person and handed them to Xiao Ce.

After taking the paper, Xiao Ce began to write on it in a very detailed and expressive manner.

The document stated that as long as Xiao Yang needed it, he could have access to some of the civilian technologies offered by the Tianji Academy.

Upon seeing what Xiao Ce had written, Xiao Yang immediately knelt on the ground.

"Brother, this isn't good... I don't need this... I just need one of the car ones... I don't need the others..."

Xiao Ce said to Xiao Yang, "Alright, what's wrong? Are you being too polite with me... or do you want to overthrow me again and become emperor yourself...?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang waved his hands frantically, "No...no...no...I wouldn't dare...besides, I'm living a more comfortable life than those emperors right now..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce smiled broadly: "That settles it then... No need for further words... Whether I give it to you or not is my business, whether you use it or not is your business... We've met this time, but who knows when we'll meet again..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Xiao Yang looked at Xiao Ce with a worried expression.

"Brother, you have to live! We're standing so high now, entirely on your shoulders. If you live, I'll be in awe... but if you die... we'll fall to the bottom... we'll have nothing left..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Xiao Ce was both amused and exasperated, saying, "This is something that should have moved me, but you've made it sound so distorted..."

Xiao Yang chuckled, then said to Xiao Ce, "Hehe, big brother, you know I have a sharp tongue, but you understand what I mean... I'm just touched... I was worried about you..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Xiao Yang and then said, "Don't worry, I shouldn't die..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er immediately grabbed his hand and said, "No, you definitely won't die... Your Highness, you definitely won't die..."

Seeing Yin Pan'er's anxious expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Yes, yes... she definitely won't die..."
