If Li Ye had done this secretly, it would have been fine, but he did it without hiding it and everyone knew about it.

Even when facing the imperial envoy, he told the truth frankly.

The entire court was alarmed and no one could cover up for him.

In fact, Li Xuantian actually particularly liked Li Ye's approach in his heart.

What he did showed that he spent all his money on the people and that he really cared about the people.

But it has become known to the whole world, and even if we want to protect him, we can't.

Not to mention that no one believed the reasons he gave.

Not to mention that Li Ye's political enemies wanted to take the opportunity to put him to death.

Similarly, in Li Xuantian's view, it was not easy to inflict heavy damage on the enemy country, so how could he sell his equipment to them and allow them to quickly recover?

This approach is really not worth it.

For a moment, Li Ye was at a loss as to what to do.

If he is not punished, there will be no explanation to the court. If he is punished, who will feed the millions of people on the border?

At this time, Yang Xiuyuan suddenly said loudly: "I want to ask the emperor for mercy on behalf of His Highness the Sixth Prince. I hope the emperor can give him a lighter punishment!"

Li Xuantian looked at him in great surprise.

There is no doubt that Yang Xiuyuan is his own.

He did not belong to any faction of the Sixth Prince, the Crown Prince or the Third Prince, and was only loyal to himself.

Otherwise, such an important task would not be entrusted to him.

But even though Li Ye had committed such a serious mistake, he still had to defend him in front of all the officials.

This is a little too incredible.

But he did give himself some cushion by doing so.

Li Xuantian was surprised and asked, "Why do you want to protect the Sixth Prince?

What is there in him that is worth your protection?"

Yang Xiuyuan said solemnly: "I guarantee with my life that I have absolutely not taken any advantage of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince.

To speak for him is to see the Sixth Prince's loyalty to his country and his people.

It can feed millions of people and provide them with enough food and clothing, and every household has a house to live in.

All the people are grateful to the emperor and the court.

Even if they encounter an enemy, they will still bravely protect their family without fear of death.

Although they had not received regular military training, they were still able to stop the enemy's attack.

This further illustrates that ordinary people are willing to sacrifice everything, even their own lives, to protect their homes.

His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince showed them hope for the future and promised to lead them to a prosperous life.

So His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince said that if the enemy invades again, we will definitely defeat them.

His Highness has asked me to bring a message to the Emperor, saying that as long as he is here, the enemy will never be allowed to invade Dayuan even a step."

Li Xuantian was extremely shocked after hearing the last sentence.

Saying this proves that he wants to help Dayuan guard the border.

Officially took over the heavy responsibility of defending the border.

The key is to be self-sufficient and also help feed other border garrisons.

This would save the court millions of silver taels a year.

Yang Xiuyuan continued to recount everything he had seen and heard.

Each family has successfully plowed thirty mu of land to provide them with food, and each family has cattle and sheep.

Nowadays, every household has a spacious and bright house.

Not only can we have enough to eat every meal, but we also eat rice, white flour, and even meat and vegetables.

The local people live better than the rich families in the capital.

You should know that people in border areas can eat fresh vegetables in winter.

After listening to Yang Xiuyuan's story, many officials found it incredible.

In particular, the officials under the Third Prince pointed at Yang Xiuyuan's nose and cursed him on the spot: "You still dare to say that you didn't accept the Sixth Prince's favor.

How dare you help him tell such a big lie.

Even if the imperial court tried its best, it would be impossible to build houses for millions of households and let them eat white rice and noodles and have vegetables for every meal.

There is no more ridiculous lie in the world than this.

That's the border area. I don't need to tell you how cold it is in winter, right?

How can we eat vegetables?"

"Master Qin is right. Yang Xiuyuan has colluded with the Sixth Prince. I don't know how much bribes he has received.

Your Majesty, please punish me severely."

"Yang Xiuyuan should be thrown into death row immediately and officials should be sent to investigate.

See if he has anything else to say."

Yang Xiuyuan's face was full of righteousness. He bowed and said, "Everything I said is true. If the emperor is unfortunate, you can put me in jail first. Then send someone to investigate. If I make a mistake, you can execute my entire family."

I have absolutely no complaints."

Li Xuantian was extremely shocked. Yang Xiuyuan had just described to him a paradise that was like a fairyland.

Moreover, she told herself that this paradise was built by her own son.

And it only took a few months.

Is there really anyone who can do this?

Li Xuantian didn't believe it at all.

But suddenly he remembered the last time he sent Li Ye to rescue the disaster.

The entire disaster-stricken province was governed by Li Ye in a very short period of time and was well organized. No one had starved to death since he arrived.

Soon the local people returned to their normal lives, and their living conditions are now many times better than before.

This can be clearly seen from the significant increase in tax revenue reported by local governments.

This sixth son may not be good in other aspects, but when it comes to making money to benefit the people, no one in the world can match him.

Li Xuantian stared at Yang Xiuyuan closely and asked, "Have you explained clearly to me? Are all your words true?"

"I guarantee that every word you said is true." Yang Xiuyuan said seriously.

Facing Li Xuantian's sharp eyes, he was not afraid at all, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Li Xuantian continued to ask, "But just now I heard you say that the people at the border can eat fresh vegetables in winter. I want to ask where do you get these vegetables?"

Many officials had a sneer of triumph on their faces.

This alone is enough to overturn everything he said before.

It is impossible to grow vegetables in winter in such a cold and harsh border area.

Yang Xiuyuan replied, “In fact, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.

Your Highness built many greenhouses at the border, using transparent colored glaze as roofs and building stoves inside.

It can ensure the temperature in the greenhouse and also allow sunlight to shine.

The vegetables grew very well in the greenhouse. Not only were they eaten by themselves, but they were also given to the border guards and even sold to the grasslands at high prices.

His Highness is trying every possible way to make money to feed the people.

The people are also very grateful to His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince and will do their best in everything they do.

With the equipment in exchange for a large number of cattle and sheep, the local people were able to cultivate more land.

If only all the fields on the northern border could be cultivated.

The grain harvest of the entire Dayuan region can be increased by at least three times.

..."

Yang Xiuyuan carefully explained the structure of the greenhouse and the materials used in its construction.

The officials on the scene were terrified.

They knew very well how expensive transparent glass was.

The shape and price of the glass are comparable to gold.

Moreover, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it because it is so scarce.

They actually said that the greenhouse was covered with them. This is too outrageous.

How much does it cost to build a greenhouse? Who can afford it?

"This is pure nonsense. Vegetables grown this way would be worth as much as gold. How could anyone afford to eat them?"

Many officials refuted it on the spot and did not believe it at all.
