Qin Qingxue's words immediately aroused the interest of the Third Prince.
He had no interest in training the army, he just wanted to win over the officers and soldiers.
Just tell your subordinates how to train them.
He doesn't care about anything else.
Now I am only interested in making money.
"Tell me, what other good ways are there to make money?"
Qin Qingxue glanced at Shi Wushuang and got his permission before continuing, "Actually, I'm quite familiar with the prince's business.
There is nothing here except grazing land.
They lacked a single sustenance.
For example, the wood used to make furniture, especially the high-quality wood used to make bows and arrows, is not only expensive but also sold in large quantities.
The next thing is fabrics, seasonings in daily life, porcelain, and some medicinal materials.
Daily necessities such as iron pots and flints are in great short supply.
You can get at least several times the profit by transporting it here.
If Your Highness transports the supplies via the highway, you can then go through Jialing Pass to enter Caoqian.
As long as the price is cheaper than that of Li Ye’s shop, there will definitely be people rushing to buy it.
Your Highness wants to strike a blow against the prince, isn't he? Just take away all his businesses so that he can't make any money.
This is the best way to attack him."
The third prince's eyes lit up more and more as he listened.
She slammed the table excitedly and said, "General Qin is truly a heroine. She knows Li Ye so well.
It's a very good suggestion you made.
This prince will definitely reward you handsomely!"
Suddenly, I thought of the past two people, "Oh, I remember, you and my brother were together for a while."
After saying this, I realized that Shi Wushuang's face looked a little ugly.
I quickly tried to make amends: "Look at my mouth, I'm really talking about things that are not related to the topic.
That's all in the past.
The fact that Master Wushuang has been favored by General Qin shows that you are much better than Li Ye."
Shi Wushuang forced a smile on his face: "Your Highness, what are you talking about!
Qingxue and I are in love with each other.
The prince only has a one-sided admiration for Qingxue.
I explained it to him clearly after returning from our last expedition against the barbarians."
"You're right, this prince supports you!" The third prince was very happy that he had found another way to make money.
And while making money, he could also hit Li Ye, which made him even happier.
He said to Shi Wushuang: "This prince does not understand business matters, but I have to give this matter to you.
We must contact the barbarians immediately to see what goods they are still short of and negotiate a price.
At the same time, you send people to purchase these goods."
The third prince assigned all the tasks to Shi Wushuang without hesitation.
Anyway, all I have to do is collect the money.
Shi Wushuang saw that it was profitable and immediately agreed.
In fact, purchasing grain is not a problem at all. After all, even if there is a shortage of grain on the market, at most the people cannot buy it.
In fact, those wealthy families have stored up a large amount of food, which they would not be able to eat up even after another ten years.
They stockpiled large amounts of food in preparation for disasters that could wipe out their harvest.
They will not make a move until the price has increased several times or even dozens of times.
However, Yunlu Pavilion came forward to purchase a batch of grain, and these people were happy to sell it.
After all, being able to establish a good relationship with Yunlu Pavilion is something many people dream of.
The main reason for not helping to sell grain was to prevent the barbarian forces from expanding too quickly.
We need to make them feel that buying food is not easy; the more difficult it is, the more important Yunlu Pavilion can be shown.
However, selling some daily necessities does not affect the situation. It can make money and successfully attack Li Ye at the same time. Why not do it?
Shi Wushuang agreed very straightforwardly.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take care of this matter immediately.
I promise to take over all of the prince's business."
"I trust you to do the job. Come on, come on, I'll toast you a glass!"
Yunlu Pavilion's disciples are spread all over the world, and they are very efficient.
Start purchasing various commodities in large quantities.
Their actions were soon discovered by Li Ye and his people.
After all, Li Ye's business is also spread throughout Dayuan.
There are also many merchants cooperating with Li Ye.
Someone buying a large quantity of goods will immediately catch their attention.
Shopkeepers from all over the country noticed something was amiss and quickly reported the news.
Soon, Li Ye's business with various northern countries was greatly affected.
Whether it was the barbarians, Khitan, the Jin Dynasty, etc., almost no one bought Li Ye's products anymore.
If you want to continue trading, you have to lower the price by more than ten times.
Only a very small profit was left for Li Ye.
Li Ye was extremely angry when he heard the other party's notice.
"I think they are simply asking for their own death, as they dare to make such a request to me.
Just cut off all their supply of goods, I wonder how long they can hold out."
Li Ye was unhappy and immediately punished him.
"Your Highness, I feel something is wrong! Ever since the Third Prince came here, our business has been going from bad to worse.
Could it be that the Third Prince is interfering?"
Although Lei Ying did not find any useful information, he keenly discovered the problem.
"Do you mean that the Third Prince wants to challenge me and take away all our business?"
Li Ye raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and then came over: "What you said is really possible.
He guards the border and can come and go freely, so it's not difficult for him to do this business."
"Then what should we do? We can't just sit there and watch all the business being snatched away, right?" Lei Ying was also very anxious.
It is not easy to feed a population of over a million at the border, and more people are migrating here.
Later it could be as high as several million.
Without a steady income, you'll quickly run out of money.
All efforts will be completely unsuccessful.
When the two were discussing countermeasures, someone urgently delivered a letter.
"Your Highness, the Chief Treasurer has sent a letter that is extremely urgent and requires your immediate inspection."
Li Ye took the letter and read it carefully.
It also confirmed the guess just now.
"You are absolutely right, the Third Prince wants to steal our business.
I guess they have already discussed with the barbarians that all goods will be provided by the third prince from now on.
This matter definitely requires Shi Wushuang's participation; he alone cannot accomplish it."
Li Ye said in a deep voice.
"It's really abominable, we must find a way to teach them a lesson.
Let them never dare to come and steal our business again!"
Lei Ying was so angry.
"If all else fails, I'll take some people and disguise myself as bandits to rob and kill their caravan.
Anyway, I am very familiar with this kind of thing."
Lei Zhan immediately stood up and said.
“No! Shi Wushuang and the Third Prince have joined forces, they must be prepared.
They have military power and can mobilize a large number of people at any time.
If we send too many people, they will attract too much attention and be easily exposed.
If we send too few people, we will probably suffer losses."
Li Ye rejected Lei Zhan's proposal without hesitation.
