By the time they left two days later, many people had already heard about it.
Everyone came out to the street to say goodbye.
Many people carried baskets and brought over the only edible things they had at home.
Many people had tears in their eyes, reluctant to see Ye leave.
Xuantian and Shangguan Qi were both extremely shocked by this scene.
This kind of situation has only been heard in dramas.
How could this happen in real reality?
Xuantian also knew clearly that Ye had been with them all these days, and it was impossible for him to make any arrangements without permission.
Ye also disdains to do so.
"Your Highness, we can't bear to part with you!"
"Your Highness, please take these foods with you so you don't go hungry on the road."
"Thanks to your Highness for coming to save us, our whole family didn't starve to death. We can't bear to let you go."
…
Many people cried out loudly with tears in their eyes.
It is not easy to meet a capable and honest official.
They were afraid that after Ye left, the court would send another corrupt official to extort money from the people.
Ye was also moved by the enthusiasm of the people.
With tears in his eyes, he stood in front of the carriage and waved to the people.
"Don't worry, fellow villagers, all the officials here were promoted by me.
They are all honest officials who are dedicated to serving the people.
We can certainly build a riverbank so that we won't have to suffer from floods anymore.
I will come back to see you when I have time.
Go back, I won’t send you off anymore!
Keep these foods for yourselves and make sure you live a good life."
Princess Ruyue and Linyue were extremely moved.
This is what it means to truly serve the country and the people.
Only Ye can do this in the world.
There are many honest officials in the world, but there is probably no one else who is capable of doing this.
Lin Yue and Xiao Cui were moved and felt extremely proud.
It is such an honor that one's master is loved by the people.
Princess Ruyue's face was filled with pride and happiness.
Look at Ye's eyes full of admiration.
This is my man, no one in the world can compare to him.
"I never thought that His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince already has such prestige among the people.
This further proves that Xi Jinping has done a lot for the people and has won their recognition.
This is truly worthy of learning for all officials in the court."
Shangguan Qi said with great emotion.
"If all the officials in the court could do the same as Ye, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
There was a gleam of light in Xuantian's eyes, mixed with shock.
The father thought he could become the greatest emperor of all time, but now he has to admit that his son can do better.
In a short period of time, the crisis was resolved for all the people, and every family was able to settle down and work in peace.
It is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.
He had already made up his mind that he must entrust Ye with important tasks when he returned to the court.
Such talents must be valued.
Not to mention he is his own son.
As long as Ye can inherit the throne, he can bring decades of prosperity and stability to the Dayuan Dynasty.
The carriage went out of the city gate, and the people who came to see it off on both sides of the road were still endless.
There is a rumor that an honest official was escorted hundreds of miles by the people. I didn’t expect it to come true in reality.
This shocked Xuantian and Shangguan Qi even more.
The people came spontaneously to see him off, and that explained everything.
Only the recognition of the people is the most convincing achievement.
But no one expected that Ye would be so loved by the people.
After walking for more than ten miles, the number of people on the roadside finally decreased a lot.
It made the two of them feel even more emotional.
On the way, Xuantian asked, "This kind of road is paved entirely with large fired bricks. Will it be very expensive?
Even if they could charge money to build such a long road, could the government afford it?
After arriving in Nancheng, I encountered so many shocking things.
I actually forgot about this incident.
It was not until I saw the carriage galloping on the road that I thought of asking.
Ye replied, "The price is not very high, much cheaper than repairing the official road.
The way to save costs mainly lies in how to burn bricks efficiently.
According to ordinary brick kilns, it would definitely be very expensive.
However, this brick kiln was specially modified by me to use coal for firing, and it has a special cave.
Not only is the efficiency very high, the cost is also very cheap.
In addition, the local disaster victims only need to be provided with a small amount of food, so they are willing to do this job.
The road was leveled very quickly, and paved with bricks, making it a very flat road..."
After hearing Cheng Yu's introduction, the two were even more shocked.
The cost of building a highway is equivalent to the cost of repairing an official road for five years, which is less than 30% of the cost of building a new road.
"Since the price is so cheap, we should build more roads like this." Xuantian was very happy.
Shangguan Qi explained, "The Emperor and I came all the way here, and walking on this kind of road is not only fast, but also not bumpy at all.
If the road can be built to the border, the cost of transporting food and fodder for future battles will be greatly reduced."
"That's no problem! We can find suitable soil, bake bricks on the spot, and build our way through.
In addition to burning large bricks, you can also burn some small bricks and sell them to people who build houses.
The money earned can make up for some of the losses.
If the distance is too far, we can build a new brick kiln somewhere else." Ye offered a solution without hesitation.
"Can I leave this to you?" Xuantian asked in a negotiating tone.
This time, to deal with the enemy country, Xuantian planned to activate Li Ye and send him to the Ministry of War.
It seems a bit unreasonable to ask him to build the road again. He must get the consent from Ye himself.
"No problem, as long as there is enough money, we can build as many roads as we want!" Ye agreed without hesitation.
Shangguan Qi knew the situation of the court. War was about to break out, so how could there be any extra money to build roads?
The emperor couldn't say this in person, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
Shangguan Qi quickly said, "Recently, the enemy countries have united and are ready to make a move. Although you have made a lot of money for the court, all this money has to be spent on the army.
It is precisely because I have no money that I have to ask you for help.
Can you think of a solution?"
"Is that so?" Ye began to think.
“Although building expressways can generate revenue through toll collection, it will take at least several years to recoup the money.
"It's a problem that distant water can't quench nearby fire."
"Your Highness has a talent for business and is said to be as wealthy as a nation. How about Your Highness paying the bill first?"
Shangguan Qi tried to ask.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister thinks too highly of me! Although I have a lot of money, I really can't take it out right now."
Ye did not lie in order to build more banks to realize universal currency exchange.
Every bank must have enough cash. If the other party has silver notes and cannot exchange them, its reputation will be ruined.
I have money on hand, but I really can't take it out.
"What should we do? If we can repair the road, it will be of great help in dealing with the invasion of the enemy country." Shangguan Qi didn't expect that Ye would actually refuse, and his face was full of sadness.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. Although I can't afford the money, I can find enough money for the court to repair the road." Ye said confidently.
