"Oh, right,"

Li Xin then instructed, "Not only grain, but also cloth, medicine, ironware and other supplies need to be purchased. Don't hide the money you've earned during this period, take it all out for purchases."

"Understood!"

He Tongyuan responded.

"We also need to be careful about safety in the capital,"

Li Xin turned to look at Bai Fenglan and instructed her, "Report any news immediately."

After the two left, only Li Xin and Zhao Bingzhang remained in the room.

The door was closed, and the outside was heavily guarded with sentry posts.

Inside the room, the two sat facing each other.

"Your Highness, this is an opportunity!"

Zhao Bingzhang frowned and said, "The floods in the Jianghuai region seem fraught with danger, but for us, it is also a golden opportunity."

If this matter is handled properly, our manpower shortage situation in Dongning will be improved.

"Need more people?"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and instantly understood, "You mean, we should move the refugees from Jiangnan to Dongning?"

"Would the court agree to such blatant aggression? Would the Crown Prince agree?"

"The imperial court had no choice but to agree."

Zhao Bingzhang explained, "After a great flood, there will inevitably be a great epidemic."

The millions of refugees alone are enough to give the imperial court a headache. If not handled properly, the entire Jianghuai region could be plunged into war. The imperial court would not want to see such a situation, would it?

Therefore, the imperial court had no choice but to agree.

"As for Li Ming,"

Zhao Bingzhang snorted coldly and said, "Even if Li Ming is ruthless, would he want to see the situation of war and chaos in Jianghuai?"

Moreover, Your Highness can use this as a condition to exchange with Li Ming!

"Your Highness, no matter what, you must bring as many people as possible to Dongning. With people, Dongning will have strength! And Your Highness will gain prestige!"

"Understood!"
