"Your Highness, please speak up. I will definitely convey your message." Yang Xiuyuan said quickly.
"It's nothing, please go back and tell Father.
Although all the captured weapons and equipment were sold to the enemy country.
But as long as I stay here for one day, the enemy will never be able to invade Dayuan.
No matter how many of them come, I will destroy them all.
We will absolutely not allow Dayuan to suffer any damage due to the enemy obtaining equipment."
Ye said this and smiled softly: "Whether Lord Yang believes it or not, in fact, if we sell the weapons back, I still hope that they will attack again soon.
As long as the war starts, not only can the enemy be destroyed, but a lot of war horses and equipment can also be seized.
Then sell it to them. This business makes money very quickly.
Border construction and development are all about money, and this method can not only make money but also wear down the enemy country."
Yang Xiuyuan looked at Ye in amazement. If someone else said these words, they would definitely think he was crazy.
But Wangye didn't look like he was joking at all, instead he was full of confidence.
Only then did he remember that not long ago, Ye led his army to annihilate more than 130,000 enemy troops and seized countless supplies.
Definitely not lying.
Perhaps that was the intention from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiuyuan took a breath.
His Highness the Sixth Prince is definitely not an ordinary person. His abilities are truly terrifying.
Finally, I understand why many officials in the court are fully supporting the Sixth Prince.
They saw the Sixth Prince's great potential and if he could inherit the throne.
It is hard to imagine how powerful it will become.
Not to mention a few enemy countries in the north, even if the whole world surrendered, there would be no problem at all.
Thinking of this, Yang Xiuyuan finally realized the direction to follow.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely convey your message.
And tell the emperor truthfully what you have seen and heard here.
I will do my best to let His Majesty know the benefits of His Highness doing this."
"Thank you very much! If Father could give me a few more days, I could clear the grass.
Either completely submit to Dayuan, or be completely wiped out.
We will definitely not leave any hidden dangers for Dayuan." There was a lot of pride in Ye's words.
Anyone else who said this would definitely be considered bragging.
But at this moment, Yang Xiuyuan was completely impressed by Ye's ability and believed it without a doubt.
No one could have cultivated so much fertile land in such a short period of time.
It can enable millions of people to live and work in peace and contentment.
In just less than half an hour, hundreds of super-large villages were built.
Several miles have already connected to the Great Wall, completely blocking the enemy out.
Perhaps only the Sixth Prince could accomplish such a massive project.
"Your Highness is too polite. I, a humble official, have received the Emperor's grace and must fulfill my duties conscientiously.
This is how I repay His Majesty, and it is my duty as a humble minister.”
The two of them exchanged polite words for a moment.
The atmosphere also became much more relaxed.
Ye took him for a walk and then returned to the village.
It allows him to see the construction status of the village and the cultivated fields.
But he must not be allowed to find the blast furnace for iron smelting.
And many weapon manufacturing workshops.
Doing these things in private is undoubtedly tantamount to rebellion.
Ye had most of the crossbows hidden away, leaving only a few behind.
Don't let him see your true strength.
Yang Xiuyuan also mistakenly believed that the matter had been thoroughly investigated.
The reason why we were able to win the battle was that all the local people fought the enemy to the death in order to protect their property and interests.
Even if the enemy has an army of 100,000, Dayuan has more than one million civilians who can participate in the war, which gives it an absolute advantage.
In addition, Zhao Wudi seized the opportunity in time and turned back to attack the barbarian army's position at a critical moment, which led to the victory.
A large part of the victory in this battle was due to luck. After all, the enemy underestimated the garrison in the village and was too careless.
If we had treated the villagers as strong enemies, we would never have suffered such a terrible defeat.
As for selling weapons to the enemy, it was simply to exchange them for livestock and cultivate more land.
It can be said that Ye had no selfish motives and everything he did was for the benefit of the court and the people.
As the saying goes, in an emergency, one must make decisions based on circumstances. If you think about it carefully, it is not wrong.
No matter who wants to feed millions of people at the border, it is probably impossible.
Not to mention that the people here live a very prosperous life, have spacious and bright new houses, and have enough food to eat at the end of the day.
Being able to achieve this is extremely rare and valuable.
After Yang Xiuyuan finished his task, he felt much more relaxed.
Ye took the opportunity to have a banquet prepared.
He warmly invited Yang Xiuyuan and his entourage to take a seat.
"Master Yang has come from afar, and our border is rather desolate and we don't have much to offer you.
These are local specialties, please don't be disgusted by them, Master Yang."
Yang Xiuyuan saw that the food on the table was extremely rich.
There are not only many meat dishes, but also many vegetarian dishes.
Once again, he was shocked.
This place is close to the border, so it’s not strange at all to be able to eat mutton.
But you can’t eat vegetables in a place like this just because you have money.
Even in the capital, only the rich and powerful can afford to eat it during this season, and the price is more expensive than silver.
"These dishes?" Yang Xiuyuan looked at Ye with great confusion.
I thought he was trying to bribe me and deliberately spent a lot of money to buy it.
My opinion of Ye Shiyin suddenly became much worse.
Ye could tell what he was thinking from his expression.
He explained, "Let me introduce this to Lord Yang. This is horse meat, captured from the enemy.
We will cut up the shot horse as soon as possible, smoke it and store it for a long time.
There is also beef here, which was also exchanged from Caoqian.
A cow was injured and could no longer be raised, so it had to be killed and eaten.
There is no need to say much about the mutton. The mutton caught on the grass is extremely fatty and not fishy at all. It tastes great whether it is braised or steamed.
As for these vegetables, I have to explain them to Lord Yang.
We have built many greenhouses here in Caoqian, so we have no shortage of vegetables to eat throughout the winter.
They even sold their surplus vegetables on the grass, and the price was almost comparable to gold.
Even so, demand still outstrips supply.
Lord Yang can go to other military bases to ask.
They have eaten a lot of our vegetables this winter, and they are all provided for free."
"What? Your Highness said that in such a cold and harsh place, vegetables can still be grown in winter?"
Yang Xiuyuan was stunned, and felt that his brain seemed to be a little insufficient.
This is simply too outrageous.
He had also heard how cold the winters were here.
If you break the ice directly and go out without proper clothing, you may even get your ears frozen off.
It is simply outrageous that vegetables can be grown in winter.
Even the emperor wouldn't be treated like this to eat such fresh vegetables in winter.
It can only be transported from the south by fast horses, which takes several days.
Roots cannot maintain such a level of freshness.
