Ye lifted the curtain in front and glanced at everyone.

He said bluntly: "Don't you dislike seeing this prince? What's the matter with your sudden visit?"

The Governor's face was filled with fear. He clasped his fists and saluted, saying, "How dare I? I simply didn't think clearly for the moment."

After several days of serious introspection, I and my colleagues have realized our mistakes.

Your Highness is devoted to the people and has a broad mind, which is a role model for all officials to emulate.

From now on, I have decided to follow your Highness's instructions and complete the disaster relief work as soon as possible so that all people can return to their normal lives."

Although Ye had a smile on his face, his eyes were extremely cold.

As the saying goes, a weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken with no good intentions.

If his attitude suddenly becomes so good, then there is only one possibility, that is, he has found a way to deal with himself.

Ye did not expose the other party either.

The more malicious their intentions are, the harder they will have to try to please me in order to achieve their goals.

This is a good opportunity to take advantage of them.

"It's a good thing to have this awareness! But if you want to do things for the people, you can't just talk about it, you have to show some expression."

The officials on the field looked at each other.

They didn't expect Ye to be so direct.

It was just a courtesy to save face, but he actually took it seriously.

If it wasn't for dealing with Ye, I'm afraid everyone would turn against him immediately.

But in order to achieve their goal, they had no choice but to endure it, thinking that Xiaoye would not live long anyway.

As long as he died, everything he promised would be over.

"How does His Highness want us to express our gratitude? You can't ask us to go to the riverbank and move stones, right?"

"Having said that, no matter what, this prince would never dare to make the court officials do hard labor!

Everyone should play to their strengths.

You guys are no match for ordinary people in terms of work!"

Ye smiled.

The officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to gain the trust of the emperor, Wei Guang patted his chest and said, "Your Highness, please tell us what you want us to do! We will do our best."

"What the Imperial Commissioner said is absolutely correct! All our officials must be on site to direct and coordinate, and we must block the breached river as soon as possible." The Governor also quickly followed suit.

"That's not necessary. I just said that everyone should do what they are best at.

The personnel had already been arranged to direct the construction of the river embankment.

With these craftsmen, we don't need to worry about anything.

If you don't know how to give orders blindly, it will affect the progress of the project."

What Ye said made all the officials even more confused. If they were not required to do hard labor and were not allowed to command on the scene, what else could they do?

"Your Highness, please stop keeping us in suspense and simply tell us what you want us to do."

Only then did Ye calmly say, "In fact, when the people heard that they would be provided with food for the construction of the river bank, they all came to work on their own initiative.

Building a river embankment is something everyone looks forward to. As long as you prepare enough money and food, you don't have to worry about the work.

The biggest problem at present is the lack of money and food.

You might as well donate more money and food."

As soon as Ye said this, everyone's face turned dark immediately.

Just buying food almost bankrupted them.

They are actually asking them to pay more money and food. Isn't this asking for their lives?

Originally, these people became officials just to make money.

As a result, he took out all the money he had extorted over the years.

There was no way I could afford to pay any more money.

Someone immediately pretended to be pitiful and cried out in a tearful voice, "Your Highness, please spare us!

All our money has been used to buy food for disaster relief, and His Highness has deposited it in the Governor-General's Office.

We really can’t afford it!”

"Yes, I'm really broke! I was hoping to import some food from other places and make a fortune.

I just put all my belongings into it!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. My family is barely making ends meet! Please give us a way out!"

…

Listening to their complaints, Ye became furious.

"That's pure nonsense! You get a salary every month and have no worries about food and drink.

Look at the clothes you are wearing, which one is not silk and satin?

Moreover, they traveled in carriages and sedan chairs.

Compared with the people affected by the disaster, I don’t know how much better it is.

You're still not satisfied!"

"This, as officials of the imperial court, this is the treatment given to us by the imperial court. How can Your Highness scold me for such a thing!"

Some people were still unconvinced and refuted it face to face.

Ye was so angry that he laughed on the spot: "The court gives you salaries and such good treatment so that you can be loyal and dedicated to your duties and serve the people and the court.

The local river has burst its banks for years, and floods occur every few years.

Is this how you do things just because you're paid by the court?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he simply broke off the fight, "I hereby declare that all of your carriages must be loaded.

㱗The flood problem has not been resolved and the people have no place to live.

All of you give this prince two legs to walk on.

If you are an official who doesn't work for the people, it's good enough that you are still here."

The Governor was furious.

They were just looking for a reason to reconcile with Ye and an opportunity to assassinate Ye.

I didn't expect to be scolded in person.

And we will also seize all their carriages.

How can this be tolerated?

Wei Guang immediately stood up to object: "Your Highness, do you still have any regard for the court when you do this?

Even if they wanted to collect the carriages and send us on our way, it would have to be an order from the imperial court.

Besides, we are so busy that we have so many things to do every day. What if we are delayed without a carriage?"

Ye sneered: "You guys eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks all day long, don't you worry about delaying things?

When this prince came here, the emperor personally ordered me to act at my own discretion.

He was also given the Emperor's Sword, which allowed him to execute first and report later!

If anyone is not convinced, just try to see if the Emperor's Sword is sharp.

Of course, you can also appeal to the court and say that this prince has seized all your carriages.

I give you two hours to bring all the livestock and carriages here.

If anyone is late, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”

After Ye finished speaking, he lowered the curtain of the carriage.

He ignored them and told them to move on.

Only the indignant officials were left staring at each other in bewilderment.

"Governor, Imperial Commissioner, what should we do? We are asking for peace out of good intentions, yet they are forcibly seizing our carriage.

How can I travel after this?”

"That's right, the Sixth Prince is too arrogant. He doesn't even take any of us seriously."

"We have to think of a way to stop him from being so arrogant!"

"What are you arguing about? He's a prince, an imperial envoy, and he even has the Emperor's swordsman. Who can possibly go against him?"

The governor scolded everyone loudly with a gloomy face.

He also didn't expect that Ye would turn his back on them and not take them seriously at all.

"Everyone follow his orders and send the carriage and animals over!

Let him be proud for a few more days.

Anyone who dares to treat us like this will have to pay the price.

Don't worry, I can't stand it for a few days!"
