If he wants to survive, the entire Yan family also wants to survive.
There was only one option, which was to spend a large sum of money to buy up the food they had stored to fill the hole they had created.
Otherwise, the foodless people and the imperial court would tear the Yan family apart for their incompetence.
At that time, he had more choices, whether it was to annex the Yan family or to blackmail them.
It’s better to let the Yan family die, and in the end we can get the operating rights of the entire water and sea transportation.
This was the plan of the twelfth prince. As for the civilians who died during the disaster relief, he naturally did not take them into consideration.
He had been planning this for a long time, secretly collecting food and waiting for the opportunity of a flood.
Huainan is prone to floods, and opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. For this plan, he gave up a lot of liquid assets in exchange for food.
This is a big gamble. I only invest money, but the Yan family invests their lives!
He invited the fifth prince just to have him destroy the Yan family's ships.
He definitely wouldn't do this kind of thing himself.
Other evil bandits may not have the courage and strength to do this.
But the fifth brother in front of him was different, because he was proud enough and strong enough.
However, the Tianyu Sect was neither rising nor falling, and its industries were in decline.
The Fifth Prince didn't know that he was actually responsible for the Tianyu Sect's industrial crisis.
The twelfth prince controlled the Chamber of Commerce and blocked a large number of Tianyu Sect's industries.
It took a lot of thought to get him on this path.
The Fifth Prince would never have thought that he had used the casino to force the Valley Constable into a desperate situation, forcing him to make a desperate attempt to rob the government silver.
Now, there are the same people, using the same tactics, pushing him into a dead end step by step.
It’s just that the twelfth prince did it more covertly.
Even if the Fifth Prince is discovered at that time, he will not leave any evidence to prove that this was his own plan.
In this way, no matter how powerful the Fifth Prince and the Tianyu Sect are, they will become a knife to him.
Of course, the twelfth prince didn't know that Zhao Que was also responsible for bankrupting the fifth prince and the Tianyu Sect so quickly.
Sometimes, by controlling the upstream channels, the Jinqian Gang can make it difficult for traditional sects like the Tianyu Sect to survive by simply adjusting the price slightly.
In fact, if they didn't want the leader of the martial arts world, they could at least have a meal with their existing real estate.
Now they are taking a gamble and mortgaging these core assets and turning them into silver, but this has led to the current situation.
Originally, the twelfth prince Zhao Huan could have taken his time and he wouldn't have been so anxious.
However, a gang appeared in Guanzhong and Hanzhong areas.
It's called the Money Gang, and its power is expanding at an incredible speed.
If I can't quickly integrate the Yan family in front of me, how can I stop him from entering the Central Plains and Jingxiang?
Then it is very likely that they will be suppressed by this money gang.
What’s more, the leader of the Jinqian Gang is Shangguan Jinhong.
He had also sent assassins to kill him, but he didn't expect that he was actually an unparalleled grandmaster.
For such a powerful person, the twelfth prince Zhao Huan had no other options but to fight him in the business world.
To this end, he pulled the fifth prince Zhao Yi onto his chariot and let the supreme grandmaster of Tianyu Sect fight for him.
This was also the idea of the twelfth prince Zhao Huan. Although he could use money to hire a supreme grandmaster, it would be difficult for him to fight with you.
But it’s different for the Tianyu Sect. The life and death of the entire sect depends on it. Why can’t they just leave their lives here?
-----------------------------
Time passed by little by little, and the capital was still prosperous. It seemed that the summer heat had no effect on this place at all.
However, there was also some worry in the court.
Among them, the Minister of Revenue reported that the flood disaster in Jianghuai was becoming more and more serious.
The entire state machine is running, although Emperor Da Gan is now obsessed with immortality.
But he can be considered a heroic ruler, at least he has not given up control of the government yet.
At this moment, there are already countless refugees in Huainan County City.
Huainan City is considered a high point in the surrounding area, but it is still raining heavily at this moment, and the surrounding villages have become depressions.
Countless tributaries converged, causing countless houses to be flooded and causing huge losses.
The flowing river carried corpses, countless trees and rocks.
Although there have not been a large number of casualties so far, those people still have places to escape.
However, if such a large number of homeless people are not handled properly, they will become a huge bomb that may cause civil unrest at any time.
At the same time, with so many homeless people gathering in one city, public security is a small issue.
The real important things are food, clothing and shelter. At least they should be given a place that can barely shelter from the rain.
The people who were swept here gathered together, bringing their families with them, but there was no place to shelter from the rain.
Their faces were pale, their eyes were confused, and raindrops as big as beans kept sliding down from their temples.
There was constant noise, crying and roaring.
Now, nearly one million people have gathered in the entire Huainan City...
And this is just the beginning. As the flood spreads further and further, there will be more and more refugees.
It is still manageable if the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River do not burst their banks, but if they do, it will be a real disaster.

In the government, all disaster relief matters were handled by the eldest prince.
