Chapter 563 Aren’t You Just a Lazy Guy? (1st update)

When the little prince didn’t know, his strategy after strategy had already impressed the officials in Jiangnan.

Especially when dealing with the four great families and the powerful merchants, he won without bloodshed, which was simply a model of disaster relief measures!

Especially when seeing that the wealthy merchants in Gusu City were struggling, suffering losses, and bankruptcy was just a matter of time, Qin An really admired this prince from the bottom of his heart.

Even though the prince was only 14 years old, he was extremely intelligent and saw things more clearly than these officials in their thirties and forties.

If there was no prince, who knows how many people would die in Gusu!

Originally, Qin An was still depressed, seeing that although the four great families had lost, they had no substantial damage except for the loss of money. Given time, they could easily make a comeback with their power in the court.

However, he also knew in his heart that it was already very good to have such a result. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not come to Gusu to take charge of the disaster relief, they would have been strangled by these wealthy merchants and would have been forced to reach an agreement with them in the end.

Qin An had always comforted himself in this way. Seeing the city becoming more prosperous day by day, seeing more and more smiles on the faces of the people, and seeing that the victims of the disaster had found jobs and could earn money and not worry about winter, Qin An was actually very satisfied.

The rest is what he, as a fatherly official, has to do.

Qin An is already prepared to fight these wealthy families to the end in the future.

However, he never thought that just a cloth shop would make the wealthy families in Gusu so miserable.

However, if you think about it, you can understand that these wealthy families have a lot of land, and only a small part of these lands are used to grow food, and the vast majority are planted with economic crops.

Mulberry plants are used to grow cotton and linen, which are all raw materials for weaving cloth. The price of woven cloth is extremely high.

These cloths and silks are important economic sources for the wealthy families.

And now, the low-priced cloths of the cloth shops have impacted the market, and if the price is a little higher, they can't be sold at all.

However, if they really set the price according to the low price of the cloth shop, the cloth shops of the noble families would not be able to make money, and they would not even be able to cover their costs, and would directly lose money.

They dare not lower the price.

But in this way, these cloth shops will really have no business at all.

Faced with such a situation, those wealthy merchants from noble families are completely helpless.

The price of their cloth will never be lower than the price set by the prince's cloth shop. His Royal Highness's move directly cut off the source of income for their survival.

Without this source of income, how long can the noble families support themselves?

The result is imaginable.

Their decline is already doomed.

Inside the manor.

The fifth prince was so happy that he felt refreshed. "Fourth brother, you are really like this! I admire you!"

The fourth prince also laughed. He took a sip of tea and was very happy to see the results of these wealthy merchants. "If it weren't for the fifth brother's superb means to quickly spread the news and block the wealthy merchants from selling cloth to other places, we wouldn't have won so easily this time."

The two of them were so happy to brag about their business here.

This was the scene that the little prince saw when he came back.

"Speaking of which, the most amazing one is the prince brother. He actually came up with such a great strategy to deal with the wealthy families!"

The fifth prince really admired him.

The fourth prince also admired him, "Sixth brother has always been very smart. There is almost no one in the world who is smarter than Sixth brother."

The little prince blushed a little, and he didn't know what was going on. Recently, no matter whether it was his brothers or the officials in Gusu, whenever they saw him, they started to brag about him, which made him feel embarrassed.

He was not smart at all, he just knew more than them.

"Are you relieved now? I said, I will not let them go! Are you satisfied with the result now?"

The fifth prince and the fourth prince looked at each other. They were not angry with themselves!

However, seeing their younger brother so happy, the two nodded repeatedly and said in unison, "Satisfied! Very satisfied!"

Then the little prince smiled and squeezed between the two brothers, patted their shoulders, and smiled and dropped a big bomb, "In this case, the next thing is left to you."

The smiles of the fourth prince and the fifth prince gradually solidified.

"What about you?" The two asked in unison.

"Don't forget, the disaster-stricken areas are not only Jiangnan, but also Shandong. We can't let the third prince handle the affairs there alone."

The little prince reminded.

The fifth prince frowned, "Is the third brother so useless? He can't even solve a drought?"

The fourth prince frowned in the same way, "No way? Even if the third brother can't do it, doesn't the second brother still exist? Are they so useless? Do we need the sixth brother to do it personally?"

This strong feeling of disgust made the little prince speechless.

He patiently explained, "The reason why our disaster relief work was so successful is because the officials in Gusu are dedicated to disaster relief and serving the people, and they are all good officials. However, the Shandong patrol officer is very problematic. If he deliberately targeted the second and third brothers, the second and third brothers don't have much experience in fighting with officials, so it's really hard to say."

The fourth and fifth princes still felt that the second and third brothers were useless. Disaster relief was such a simple matter, but the sixth brother had to do it personally!

The young prince looked worried, "My second and third brothers write to me once every three days on average, but it's been seven days since the last letter. Something must have gone wrong."

"Wouldn't it be dangerous for you to go there now?" The fifth prince said solemnly.

"Let me go, and you stay in Gusu to take charge of the situation." The fourth prince said.

The young prince: "Things here are almost over. You just need to follow the procedures. I'm not needed."

The fourth prince looked surprised, "That's perfect. Don't you like to be lazy?"

The fifth prince nodded repeatedly.

The young prince: "..."

Although this is true, is it really okay for you to say it so bluntly?

The young prince chose to change the subject directly, "If the second and third brothers can't solve it, it's useless for you to go. Only if I, the prince, show up can I shock the Shandong patrol."

Well, that's the fact, the fourth and fifth princes can only accept it.

However, the two of them conducted a serious inspection of the accompanying guards, striving to ensure safety along the way.

However, neither of them expected that even so, something unexpected would happen along the way.

Lu Zexu rushed along the way, passing through a forest, and suddenly two teams of black-clothed men with weapons appeared. Without a word, they rushed up with a deadly killing move.

The young prince was protected in the middle by the guards, and his expression was very panicked, "Assassinate the prince, don't you want to die?"
