When Li Ye returned to the mansion, Ruyue Jun finally couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed.
"If you take back all the officials' carriages, aren't you afraid of completely offending them?
If you go out without a carriage, you will run yourself to pieces!
Besides, riding in a sedan chair or a carriage when going out is a sign of respect for officials.
I don’t think they’ll accept this.”
"If they really have the guts not to bring the carriage up, it means they don't have any serious ill intentions.
If you will bear the humiliation and bear the burden, all of you will obey my orders and send the carriage.
I guess he has already thought about killing me!
I did this to test them.”
Li Ye explained.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions suddenly became extremely serious.
"Are these officials really that bold?"
Ruyuejun㹏 was shocked.
Assassinating a prince is a serious crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family.
Many officials would never dare to attack the imperial envoy even if it meant death.
Not to mention assassinating the prince.
Rinyue already put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
She would never allow Li Ye to face any danger.
“Normally, no one would dare to take such a big risk.
But don't forget that these officials are all under the prince's tutelage.
As long as the prince gives the order, they don't have to worry."
Xiao Cui was also very nervous: "This is too dangerous. Let's ask General Zhao to send more people to protect His Highness's safety!"
Li Ye didn't expect that his words would make everyone so nervous.
He smiled and said, "I'm just saying, you don't have to be too nervous.
Since I had anticipated that the other party might become desperate and attack me, I was already prepared."
"Let's call Mr. Xiao over quickly. With his protection, no one can hurt Your Highness." Lin Yue said.
Li Ye shook his head slightly and refused, saying, "We don't need to tell Mr. Xiao what to do.
He will definitely come when there is danger!
Besides, we can’t always rely too much on him.”
"From now on, I will not let anyone else get too close to Your Highness.
As long as I keep a certain distance, I can block any attack from anyone."
Lin Yue stroked the sword in his hand and said with great confidence.
"I feel at ease with you! However, given that we will face more and more dangers in the future.
We can't just be passively defensive.
We still need to strengthen our defense capabilities."
Li Ye was thinking about whether to make some soft armor that could prevent puncture.
Wearing clothes inside will not affect movement.
Especially when the enemy is suicidal and can't react in time, it can block fatal attacks.
However, making this kind of thing was extremely difficult in ancient times.
Many modern materials cannot be produced.
But this doesn't pose a problem for Li Ye.
After all, this industry also has advanced production technology.
Although the cost of making puncture-proof soft armor is extremely high, it is worth it as long as it can save lives.
At least you must do your best to protect the reliable people around you.
"Lei Ying and his men are dedicated to protecting His Highness, but their martial arts talent is still somewhat lacking, and their upper limit is relatively low.
Your Highness can take this opportunity to adopt some orphans and let me train them.
He can definitely become a powerful and loyal subordinate."
Rinyue said.
Li Ye thought about it for a while and felt that this method was indeed useful.
Although he used business as a cover, he also cultivated a group of powerful subordinates.
But these people are still well protected on the surface.
If you want to fight for the throne in the future, you will definitely have to do a lot of dirty work, and you must have a group of loyal warriors under your command.
It can not only be used to assassinate opponents.
At critical moments, you can use your body to help you resist danger.
In this era, if one wants to seize the throne, one cannot protect his own safety without strong military force.
It is impossible to achieve great things if you are too kind-hearted.
“Okay, you can let Thunder Eagle take this opportunity to select some children with better talents.
And you have to understand the temperament of all the children.
It must be absolutely certain.
These people can only be commanded by you and me, and their existence must be strictly protected."
Li Ye said with a serious expression.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will do a good job on this matter!"
Lin Yue had received personal instruction from Mr. Xiao and was no stranger to this kind of thing.
"That's fine! Since the Crown Prince and the Third Prince already see you as a thorn in their side, it's better to prepare for this kind of thing as soon as possible."
Ruyue Jun㹏 is also very clear about how great the risks of fighting for the throne are.
If you fail, you may be shattered to pieces and die without a burial place.
I strongly support this decision.
Li Ye did this just to provide an insurance policy for the future.
Currently, he has the support of the entire Fengxiao League, and he is confident that even if all the people in Yunlu Pavilion are dispatched, they will not be able to hurt him.
What's more, in addition to practicing martial arts diligently, he also mastered many killer moves.
Just because the other side has more people doesn’t mean they can pose a threat to you.
Train your own death squad, or you don't want to put all your safety on the shoulders of Fengxiao League.
Destiny must be in your own hands.
But Li Ye did not intend to spend too much energy on this matter. Lin Yue and Lei Ying could easily arrange it.
More than an hour later, Zhao Wudi came back.
Brought Li Ye a new news.
"According to my subordinates' investigation, the number of all the people affected by the disaster has been counted.
The number of people affected by the disaster reached more than 3.1 million.
Building the river embankment can mobilize about 500,000 young and strong laborers!
But with only 500,000 dan of grain, I'm afraid it won't last long.
Now the major grain traders are just waiting for all the grain to be used up so that they can continue to sell it at high prices.
Therefore, they reduced sales and even raised prices to eight times the usual level.
This is an attempt to go against His Highness!"
Zhao Wudi's face was full of anger.
These corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen have joined forces and don't care about the lives of the people.
"Don't worry, this situation has been anticipated!
It is impossible to rely solely on the court's aid to support so many people affected by the disaster.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. The first step is to block the gap in the river embankment.
Try to let the flood water recede.
In the future, we must get people's lives back on track as soon as possible so that they can support themselves," said Li Ye.
Almost all the food in the vicinity has been bought out.
If you want to buy food, you have to go farther and the cost will increase significantly.
Even the imperial court could not sustain such heavy consumption.
Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for people not to starve to death after suffering such a huge disaster.
Many people affected by the disaster will become refugees and go to other places to beg for food.
When they are extremely hungry, they will even eat tree roots and grass.
Similarly, many weak, sick and elderly people will starve to death, and a large number of people will be eliminated.
Even though the court knew this would be the outcome, it simply turned a blind eye and was completely powerless to do anything.
Li Ye had already thought of a way to save everyone.
I already have a plan in mind!
