"Brothers, after we have eaten our fill, we must work hard! We can eat such a good meal, so no one can be lazy."

"If I can eat so much, I'd be happy even if I died on the ground!"

"It is His Highness the Sixth Prince who is kind to us common people. We will follow him from now on."

"Don't talk nonsense. You won't be exhausted to death, but you must obey the instructions!

In addition to working, you also have to take time out for training every day!

Five people form a squad, one hundred people form a team, and one thousand people form an army.

Everyone must not only obey orders, but also be responsible for them to each other.

Doing this is not only for your safety, but also allows you to deal with danger calmly if you encounter it.

If you encounter a stranger sneaking in, you must be extra vigilant..."

The person in charge explained the rules of work to everyone.

At the beginning, many people didn’t understand. They just worked and thought, “What’s the point of doing these irrelevant things?”

But after listening to the explanation, I realized it was all for them.

The key is that whichever team performs well will receive extra rewards.

This made everyone stop complaining.

The money they pay for food is high, and as the saying goes, they are willing to do anything.

Although Ye was well prepared, problems soon arose.

Ye was looking at the blueprints in the tent on the ground.

Summoning hundreds of thousands of people to rush at the same time, the daily consumption is astronomical.

Everyone must be mobilized to maximize their efficiency and no manpower must be wasted.

Ye didn't dare to relax at all.

Lei Ying hurriedly fled to the tent, his face full of panic: "Your Highness is not available. There are problems with the land acquisition. Some people are absolutely unwilling to sell their land.

And they all united to fight together.

I guess someone is playing tricks on me.

Even the government is trying to shirk responsibility, saying these people haven't done anything illegal and that we should just discuss it ourselves."

"It's really abominable. There must be someone behind this! The compensation we give is not low, and we can even exchange it for better farmland.

Normal people can’t possibly object!”

Princess Ruyue was very angry and saw through her opponent's plan at a glance.

Ye was not surprised at all by this. Instead, he smiled and looked confident.

He advised: "Don't get angry about this, just gather all these troublemakers together.

I will consult with them myself!"

"Yes!" Lei Ying agreed and did it immediately.

Princess Ruyue asked, "How do you plan to negotiate with them? These people might have been arranged by the Crown Prince, and they won't agree to any request you make."

"Even so, we still have to understand the situation and the other party's requirements, right?

Maybe some people are being misled and are deliberately working against us.

As long as their requests are not excessive, they can be met.

If you are really determined to go against us, then there is no need to be polite.

Even if you take action, you must not accidentally hurt innocent people."

Ye replied.

"You have a point! Some people just want to make a little more money.

Given the prince's personality, it is impossible for him to win over these lower-class people.

Perhaps they have their reasons for causing trouble."

Princess Ruyue strongly agreed with what Ye said.

His eyes were full of admiration for Ye.

Even when faced with such a situation, he can still remain calm and think about the people. Such a person truly has the demeanor of a king.

"I'll help you persuade him too!"

"Okay, as long as we work together, this little setback can definitely be easily resolved."

Ye held Princess Ruyue's hand and went to meet the people together.

There were actually hundreds of people at the scene.

Just look at their appearance, they have already made preparations, and their expressions show that they are determined to fight to the end.

Lei Ying and Lei Zhan came forward and saluted.

"Your Highness, all those who oppose have arrived!"

Lei Zhan was very angry: "These people are really ignorant of evil. They dare to say that they will never move even if they die, and they are preventing us from building the road.

There must be someone behind them directing them. Your Highness, why don't you let us investigate thoroughly?

These people should be severely punished.”

"Don't be impatient. We have to take things one step at a time! Even if we want to find the mastermind, we have to first identify the innocent people."

"Yes!" Lei Zhan agreed and stood beside to protect Ye's safety.

Ye walked in front of the crowd and heard some people still shouting.

"Why do you want our land? These lands are ours. If we don't want to sell them, no one can stop us."

"My land has good feng shui. No matter how much someone offers, I won't sell it."

"If you want to build a road, just move to another place. I don't believe there is no place to reason?"

…

Ye didn't say anything, his eyes swept over the crowd and saw those who were shouting.

Just looking at their appearance, you can tell they are not farmers.

If he wasn't a wealthy local landlord, then he must have been one of his men sent here to instigate the people.

He wrote down the appearance of all these people, and would slowly settle accounts with them after finding out the truth.

Ye didn't say a word, just stood there, exuding a majestic aura.

The people who kept shouting felt the pressure and dared not speak anymore.

Gradually it became quiet.

Only then did Ye turn to Lei Ying and ask, "Where are these people from?"

"Your Highness! They are said to be farmers from a hundred miles around!"

"Aren't there people in more distant places who oppose the land acquisition?" Ye confirmed again.

Lei Ying shook his head. "There's no place further! Farmers from other places were very happy when they heard about the compensation. Some asked for silver, while others were willing to exchange land. Everything went very smoothly."

The smile on Ye's face grew even more intense: "This is really interesting! The closer the farmers are to the capital, the more opposition they have.

There was no one from far away who objected!"

Lei Ying immediately understood that this was sufficient evidence to prove that there must be someone behind the scenes.

Ye said to the people in front of him, "I don't know why you oppose the land acquisition for road construction, but I don't know who has spread the rumors that you've heard.

Most of all, think about your own interests.

The price offered by the court for this land acquisition was twice the value of the land.

If you get the money, you can buy twice as much land anywhere.

Such lucrative opportunities don't come around often!

If more people oppose it, the road can be modified, and then you won't gain anything."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Some people had obvious panic in their eyes.

After all, the people causing trouble are a minority. If the road is modified, they will suffer huge losses.

Some people still refused to accept the outcome and were making a final struggle: "Stop trying to scare us. If you want to change the route, just do it.

What we want is our own land, not more money."

"Hey, now that we've come to this, there's no need to waste any more words!

I'll give you one last chance.

Anyone willing to sell land please step forward and we will immediately settle your payment or exchange it for other land.

If you don't want to sell your land, that's even easier. We can just modify the blueprint immediately to avoid your fields."
