"Your Highness can actually come up with such a brilliant idea, which makes me admire you.

That’s great!

We must give these profiteers a good beating!

And all the officials here, they are colluding with the profiteers, they cannot be spared either."

Zhao Wudi was extremely angry at the corrupt officials.

Especially since Chang Yu followed the emperor, he knew very well how difficult it was to be an emperor.

Although the current Dayuan Dynasty seems powerful, Li Xuantian's life is very ordinary.

As an emperor, he lived a very frugal life.

The main reason is that the treasury revenue is insufficient to cover expenditure.

It turned out that all the money was put into the pockets of these corrupt officials and businessmen.

"Don't worry! Prince Yu will never let them go!"

Li Ye said coldly.

Princess Ruyue already knew Li Ye's plan, and even after hearing it again, she still felt that Li Ye was very powerful.

It didn't take much effort at all to make all the corrupt officials run around in circles.

Even the prime minister of the time probably doesn't have such powerful means.

I admire Li Ye more and more.

"I'll send someone to deliver the message immediately! Also, should we assign someone to monitor the government officials distributing the relief grain?

To prevent them from embezzling and intercepting the funds?"

Zhao Wudi asked?

Li Ye waved his hand and immediately rejected his approach.

"Don't do it! I'm pretending to be in cahoots with them now.

If we send someone to investigate, it will definitely arouse their vigilance.

All the efforts made before will be wasted.

There is not much food anyway, so even if you are greedy, you can't get much.

What's more, as long as these officials are not stupid, they will definitely let all the people hold on until the new food arrives.

After all, the more people who need assistance, the more money they can make.”

After listening to Li Ye's words, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.

"Your Highness is truly thoughtful! We really can't alert the enemy!"

Zhao Wudi finally realized that he almost ruined the whole thing and quickly admitted his mistake.

Li Ye was not relieved and told him to notify the shopkeepers in various places as soon as possible.

㰱Wushuang and Qin Qingxue also came to Nanyuan Province and met Wei Guang in private.

After hearing what he said, Wushuang knew that there must be something wrong with Li Ye.

"You must have been fooled. You must not do what he says!"

Wushuang was very anxious and quickly asked Wei Guang to stop the grain merchants from purchasing grain.

"Could it be that Master Wushuang knows about the Sixth Prince's plan? Is there any evidence?"

Wei Guang had already received a personal letter from the prince and knew that Wushuang and Qin Qingxue were both his people.

Nothing is hidden from them.

After hearing what Wushuang said, which coincided with what he was thinking, his heart skipped a beat.

Wushuang frowned and said, "There is no evidence, but this is based on my understanding of him.

He came here this time with the sincere intention of providing relief to the victims and would definitely not take this opportunity to make money.

You have to know that his father Annan embezzled more than 10 million taels of silver, but did not put any of it into his own pocket.

How could you possibly be interested in such a small amount of money?"

Wei Guang was embarrassed after hearing his words: "That's what we said, but we can't stop the local officials and grain merchants by relying solely on speculation.

After all, huge profits will drive everyone completely crazy.

Unless we can provide favorable evidence to prove that the Sixth Prince wants to harm them.

Otherwise, you will never believe what we say!"

"Don't underestimate Li Ye. He's very deep-minded and resourceful.

Both Master Wushuang and I suffered great losses at his hands.

If you do what he says, you will definitely regret it!" Qin Qingxue also followed suit.

Wei Guang's face was full of bitterness: "I have said this a long time ago, but no one believed it.

If I continue to oppose, I will be excluded.

But we have discussed it carefully, as long as our people are united.

Even the prince cannot forcibly seize our food.

As long as he doesn't pay, he can't exchange the food.

If he fails to complete the disaster relief work, he will also suffer misfortune."

Wushuang pondered for a moment, and he also felt that as long as officials and businessmen worked together, they would be invincible.

But I felt a little uneasy.

"Could it be that because I've always suffered at his hands, there's a shadow in my heart?

This is Dayuan country, everything must be done according to the law.

Even a prince can't steal food, right?"

He said to Wei Guang: "We must send someone to keep a close watch on Li Ye.

His every move must be reported immediately.

At that time, the government was asked to prepare enough troops to guard the transported food.

We must prevent him from robbing openly!

I'm not worried about anything else, but Zhao Wudi is accompanied by hundreds of cavalrymen, so he should not be underestimated."

"Okay, officer, I understand! Notify the Governor immediately and have him arrange for manpower!"

Wei Guang knew of Wushuang's reputation, and the letter from Prince Wu also told him to obey Wushuang's orders.

I dare not be careless in the slightest about what Wushuang told me.

Wushuang snorted coldly: "I want to see what tricks Li Ye will play.

If he dares to steal food, he will be captured and sent to the capital.

The news spread throughout Dayuan in no time.

Even if he is the emperor's son, he cannot protect his shortcomings."

"This is a good idea! As long as the food is in our hands, Li Ye will be helpless.

If a large number of victims starve to death, the emperor will definitely punish him." Qin Qingxue was very pleased with Wushuang's plan.

"But what should we do next? Along the way, we saw many disaster victims starving to death and many people suffering from diseases.

Why not take this opportunity to do something kind and save more people!

It will definitely enhance the reputation of Yunlu Pavilion."

Qin Qingxue said.

"That's no problem. We'll arrange some food and distribute porridge every day in the name of Yunlu Pavilion.

He then sent some disciples to treat them.

Many of our Yunlu Pavilion disciples have learned some medical skills, so curing illnesses is not difficult."

Wushuang planned to surpass Li Ye by providing relief to the disaster victims.

In addition to creating obstacles for Li Ye in disaster relief, he also wants to use all his strength to help the victims.

This will make Li Ye appear even more incompetent.

Although he also wanted to stop officials and grain merchants from transporting grain from other places, he also knew that blocking someone's financial resources was like killing their mother.

Even with his status, he couldn't do it.

We can only settle for the second best and do our best to ensure the safety of grain merchants.

Driven by huge profits, grain merchants are extremely efficient.

A large number of horse-drawn carriages were prepared that day to travel to other places as quickly as possible to transport all the food.

Although they know that buying large quantities of food will lead to rising food prices, they don't care at all.

Even if the price of grain rises by five percent, there will still be huge profits.

The opportunity to make money is fleeting, and you must buy enough food as quickly as possible.

When the people they sent arrived at the major grain stores, they found that all the grain had been sold out.

It made them very confused!

After walking for more than 300 kilometers, they still couldn't buy any food.

Helpless, the emperor could only send people to inquire, and soon learned that some grain merchants had bought up all the grain and wanted to transport it to the disaster area to make a fortune.
