Yuye finished his meal leisurely, then went to the living room to see the shopkeeper.

When more than ten shopkeepers saw Ye coming, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"We're all family, no need to be polite, everyone please sit down!"

Li Ye sat on the main seat.

All the shopkeepers were sitting upright, listening carefully to the instructions.

Without further ado, he went straight to the point: "I believe you have all heard some news. The Emperor ordered me to go to Namwon Province to provide disaster relief.

To complete this arduous task, we still need your full support."

"Your Highness is so polite. Just tell us what you need us to do!

We will do our best!"

"Yes, without His Highness, we wouldn't be where we are today. Besides, we were all working for His Highness in the first place."

All the shopkeepers expressed their attitudes.

Ye said: "Buy up all the food around Namwon Province and find a place to store it.

We also need to prepare more tools for mountain excavation and stone cutting. In addition to rescuing the victims, we also need to rebuild and reinforce the river embankment.

The pharmacy needs to prepare more medicinal materials.

Plagues and various diseases are likely to occur after a flood, so we must be prepared in advance.

Also, buy some more coal, I have a lot of…"

Ye assigned tasks to each shopkeeper.

These shopkeepers are smart and capable. They were carefully selected and have also been specially instructed by Ye.

The work efficiency is very high.

After the increase command was given, everything started moving immediately.

At this time, Princess Ruyue and Zhao Wudi also came to the mansion.

As soon as Princess Ruyue saw Ye, she said, "I heard that the emperor sent you to provide disaster relief. I want to go with you!"

"As long as your mother agrees, I will naturally not object!" said Ye.

"Of course I don't object. Besides, my parents are very supportive of me suggesting that we go with you to provide relief to the victims.

He said that if the victims could be rescued and the flood resolved as soon as possible, it would be of great benefit to both the court and the people.

Let me help you with all my strength!"

Princess Ruyue replied.

Ye was quite surprised at the attitude of the King of Bingjian. He didn't expect that he would care so much about the people.

Of course, it is also a recognition of myself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Princess Ruyue follow him all the time.

I feel very happy.

"That's great. After I finish this task, I will definitely visit King Bingxiang in person." said Ye.

"Well, my father has been praising you all the time! He said you are a promising talent and your performance is better than that of other princes.

Especially praising you for your long-term vision..."

Princess Ruyue repeated King Bingjian's evaluation of Ye.

Who doesn't want their loved one to be recognized by their parents?

"The King of Side by Side is too kind! I'm not as good as he says!

I'm just doing my best within my ability!" He said modestly.

"I say you will all become a family sooner or later, so don't be polite to each other.

I have obtained the emperor's permission to lead five hundred elite soldiers to accompany you to provide disaster relief.

My main responsibility is to protect your safety and obey your orders.

When do we leave?"

Zhao Wudi, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he quickly changed the subject to the real thing.

"We've been waiting for you. Now that we're ready, let's set off immediately!" said Ye.

Zhao Wudi looked around and said, "Really? I didn't notice you preparing any manpower along the way.

Are we the only ones here?"

"When the imperial court allocates silver, merchants will remit it, so there is no need to spend a lot of effort on transportation, which can reduce a lot of costs.

As for manpower, I won’t say more.

"We can just recruit some strong and young laborers from the local disaster-stricken people, and that will be enough," replied Ye.

Zhao Wudi had never heard of the word exchange.

With a puzzled look on his face, he asked, "What does exchanging silver mean?"

Yuye explained: "To put it simply, all the money the court gave me was left in the capital.

I have ordered that all businesses in Nanyuan Province send silver over to make up the total of three million taels.

Anyway, all the money earned from various places has to be transported to the capital.

The money donated by local businesses was used for disaster relief, and the money donated by the court was recorded in the accounts of medium-sized businesses.

Do you understand now?"

Zhao Wudi's face was filled with shock.

He found it hard to imagine that Ye could come up with so much cash from somewhere.

It completely shocked him.

It is said that Wang Ye is as rich as a country and has more money in his hands than the national treasury.

It seems that this rumor is not wrong at all.

Without such strong strength, even if there is such a method, it cannot be realized at all.

"It is indeed convenient to do so, but I am afraid that only Your Highness in the world has such strong power to accomplish this."

Ye smiled and said, "This is why I have been working hard in business.

Doing business not only allows people to exchange what they have, but also makes people's lives more convenient.

It can also help the imperial court by making money."

"If you follow what Your Highness said, there are many benefits to doing business.

The imperial court shouldn't suppress business and let merchants have such a low status."

Zhao Wudi has also realized the benefits of doing business.

Doing so would indeed be of great help to the court.

"That's not the case. Although merchants have a relatively low status, it's not appropriate to give them too high a status in this environment.

Just imagine, if they had both status and money, wouldn't it be easy for officials to collude with businessmen?

If the emperor is a wise ruler and most officials are honest and dedicated to their work, then this is not a big deal!

Once a dynasty has a tyrant ruler and the court officials are seriously corrupt.

The harm caused by the businessman would be disastrous."

Ye immediately dismissed Zhao Wudi's idea.

"Your Highness is right! I almost made a big mistake!" Zhao Wudi broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the serious consequences.

"You don't blame yourself. Even if you report this to the Emperor, he will definitely refute you.

But come to think of it, I think it's time for that thing to happen." Ye knew the time was ripe.

It's time to do the most profitable business.

Princess Ruyue asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

"Issue the silver notes and realize the exchange of money all over the world!" Ye said seriously.

"Silver note?"

Princess Ruyue and Zhao Wudi looked at each other in confusion. It was the first time they heard this word.

“To put it simply, it means using paper money of different denominations to replace silver.

Others deposit their silver in the company, and we issue paper currency certificates.

You can take the paper money to any store anywhere in the Dayuan Dynasty and exchange it for cash.

This makes it much more convenient to carry money around.

Of course, our company will also charge a certain handling fee, but this fee is much less than the long-distance transportation of silver."

Yuye briefly explained the banknote.

The two were extremely shocked after hearing this. They could not believe that there was such a convenient and brilliant idea.
