The Third Prince was also extremely surprised when he received the news.

Only then did he realize that Li Ye's influence had already spread throughout the entire Dayuan Dynasty.

People used to laugh at him for being money-minded and only caring about making money, saying that doing business was really shameful.

Only now did I realize that Li Yeqian was planning a big game.

Although his business is not respectable, it is still possible if it is controlled by a prince who wants to compete for the throne.

It is equivalent to having ears and eyes all over the world, and being able to do a lot of things.

Moreover, if one wants to compete for the throne, one must win over many ministers and spend a lot of money.

The third prince realized it later and finally understood that Li Ye used money to pave the way and do many useful things.

Even when the imperial court was fighting a war or providing disaster relief, Li Ye took out a lot of silver to help the imperial court solve its urgent needs.

After this, the emperor's impression of him began to gradually improve.

It seemed like it had been a long time since he had scolded Li Ye for business matters. Instead, he praised him highly.

Li Ye is the most skilled one among all the houses and he had already completed the layout.

With the business growing so big, there is no shortage of money.

I'm afraid the troops on the border can support themselves.

This also means that the army under Li Ye's control only obeys his orders.

This is really terrible.

The third prince has confirmed that Li Ye set a trap for him, but he can't find any evidence.

There is no way to seek justice.

Even if you smuggle yourself, your business will be exposed.

This kind of thing can only be known in the heart and cannot be brought to the table.

"Okay, okay, you're really cruel, old man. I'm completely defeated by you this time.

But don't be complacent, because sooner or later I will make you pay back a thousand times over.

No matter how much money you make, it still goes towards making wedding clothes for me.

Doing this will only make me more determined to get rid of you.

Now you not only have to face all the enemy countries, but you also have me as your opponent.

Just wait and see, you’re going to die a horrible death.”

The third prince was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed Li Ye.

After suffering such a huge loss, he didn't dare to continue purchasing goods easily.

He was not sure whether he could buy qualified goods.

If I lose again, I will probably lose so much that I will vomit blood.

Besides, after the barbarians suffered a great loss, they no longer dared to buy goods from him.

At most, you can buy iron and grain, which are not easy to fake.

Although the barbarian Jin Guoqi received compensation, he asked for all the silver.

But there are still big problems to face.

Because the household items they bought were completely unusable, many people had problems with their household chores.

These items have to be purchased again.

But they broke up with Li Ye completely without leaving any room for maneuver.

It would be too embarrassing to buy goods with such a shameless attitude.

At this time, the barbarian officials finally realized that it was not the Third Prince and Wushuang who were trying to trick them.

Or maybe Li Ye's methods are just too clever.

They simply cannot buy qualified goods.

It was a trap from the beginning to the end to take revenge on them.

"Your Majesty, many tribes are dissatisfied and demand that we provide qualified goods."

"Our tribe has become inseparable from Dayuan's daily necessities.

We have to restock quickly, otherwise there will be more complaints.

At this time, we must stabilize the people's hearts and prevent chaos."

"The Third Prince is still too weak, he is no match for the Great Prince Dayuan.

We rely entirely on him to provide supplies, but he is totally unreliable."

"I've said it before, you must not completely offend Li Ye.

You all refused to listen and insisted on believing the Third Prince.

This is troublesome.

No matter what you do, you must always leave yourself a way out so that you don't end up in such an embarrassing situation."

Although most people chose to break away from Li Ye at that time, they believed that with the new supply channel, they could take the opportunity to retaliate against Li Ye.

Although they cannot do without Dayuan's goods, they also hate Li Ye for monopolizing all supplies and raising prices to cheat them.

That’s why these things happened.

However, a few officials took a longer-term view and believed that contact could not be severed all at once.

At least wait until the supply from the Third Prince is stable, and then completely stop purchasing goods from Li Ye.

But those people were too anxious and did not accept their opinions at all.

He ended up shooting himself in the foot.

The barbarian king was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

He didn't dare to continue purchasing goods from the Third Prince.

Not to mention the same problem would occur, even if 30% of the purchased goods were substandard, the tribesmen would absolutely not accept it.

Instead, it will destroy your own reputation as a king.

Pick up a pot of wine and drink it in one gulp.

Suppress the anger in your heart.

The barbarian king breathed heavily and ordered the messenger, "Go again and bring compensation and gifts.

Go and apologize to Li Ye and ask him to resume the supply of goods.

Just say that we were deceived by villains and it was all our fault.

The same thing will never happen again.

Whatever method you use, you have to get them back on track.”

The messenger looked embarrassed.

Isn't this pushing him into the fire?

However, he did not dare to disobey the king's order.

If he dares to refuse, he will be killed.

But he had already offended Li Ye so much that he might not be able to succeed even if he went to negotiate.

He didn't even dare to think about what kind of punishment he would suffer if the negotiations failed.

The envoy said with a bitter face: "The king asked me to negotiate, and I dare not disobey.

But based on my understanding of the prince, I'm afraid he won't agree easily.

Even if negotiations are possible, they will certainly make very harsh demands.”

"If you have something to say, just be frank. Don't be so secretive. What exactly do you want in exchange for negotiating?"

The barbarian king also knew it well.

After this period of contact, he really understood Li Ye.

They can always see their weaknesses and find ways to make money from them.

The envoy explained: "This negotiation will most likely bring up two demands. The first is to raise the price, but the extent of the price increase is unpredictable.

The first possibility is to ask for our war horses as compensation, but I cannot predict how much.

The prince is a businessman, and his character is too greedy.

He will never give up if his demands are not met."

After these words were spoken, the barbarian king hadn't said anything yet, but the other officials were completely unable to bear it.

"The prices we pay for goods are already sky-high, and they are going to go up even more.

I think we should just give him the entire barbarian tribe!"

"The war horses are our treasures, we can't give them a single one!

Once they get the war horses, they will multiply and our last advantage will be completely lost.

Sooner or later, we will destroy ourselves if we do this."

"I know these conditions are extremely excessive, but if we don't agree to their demands and don't supply us with goods, that's a huge problem!

Especially tea, which is indispensable to us.

Dayuan is very smart. They can supply more of anything else except tea. They calculate it very clearly and won't provide more at all!"

The envoy said with a bitter face.
