For the people affected by the disaster, when they are about to starve to death, they are willing to do anything as long as they have a meal.
Not to mention that you can eat two meals of porridge every day. If you want to earn more, you can sign up to build river embankments.
Therefore, as soon as the news came out, a large number of able-bodied men rushed to the Governor's Office.
All the villagers in the village guaranteed each other and formed a team.
Then he gave Zhao Wudi soldiers training.
Although we don't expect them to fight, we must still do some things to prevent them from doing so.
The training method is some military training methods such as marching in step and practicing military posture.
Although it felt very strange to recruit people, they had never received such training.
But as long as you obey the instructions, you can have your fill.
And you can also get wages every day.
These wages were paid in the form of food and delivered to their families after they were picked up.
So that their families can have enough to eat.
The excess food can be exchanged for money or used as seeds.
Li Ye's thoughtful approach made everyone willing to work for him.
If someone performs well or has leadership skills.
They will be promoted immediately and earn more money.
And there are extra rewards for those who perform well during meals, such as a few more pieces of meat.
Therefore, everyone worked very hard in the following training.
After all, doing these things is much easier than doing hard labor.
The officials who wanted to deal with Li Ye were shocked and stunned after just one look at the training scene.
This was not a place to train coolie laborers, it was simply a place that was turned into a military camp.
They were basically trained as soldiers.
Wei Guang's face was extremely gloomy. He said to the official beside him, "Could it be that the Sixth Prince wants to train these people into an army and plan a rebellion?"
All the officials' faces suddenly changed, and they were all shocked.
If there is a rebellion, the first people to suffer will definitely be the local officials.
There was nowhere for everyone to escape.
Even the Governor felt a little panicked after watching for a moment.
"No way, how dare the Sixth Prince be so bold?
Besides, recruiting only men is useless without armor and weapons, right?"
"This is not something we should consider! Since he is training troops in the disaster area, he must have the intention of rebellion.
We just need to report this to the court and let the emperor know about it.
Do you think the emperor can still sleep at night?"
Wei Guang asked with a smirk on his face.
"That's true! It's only been a little over half a day, and tens of thousands of people have gathered here.
I'm afraid even the emperor may not be able to keep his composure.
Such a serious crime cannot be explained in a few words."
The Governor said after some thought.
"Then what are we waiting for? There's no need to try to please him anymore. Let's hurry up and submit a memorial to the Emperor.
Let the emperor arrest the sixth prince.
As long as he leaves Nanyuan, the food will be back in our hands."
"That's right, why not just cancel the dinner invitation?"
"Training the army to attempt rebellion, even the prince cannot escape the blame for this crime."
Other officials also agreed to go to the emperor to complain.
"Okay, let's do it!"
The governor gritted his teeth and canceled the plan immediately.
He immediately wrote a joint memorial and asked all officials to sign it.
Send it to the capital as quickly as possible.
Even if Li Ye did not really rebel, what he did was already a big taboo.
As long as the emperor knew what happened here, he would definitely recruit Li Ye immediately.
At that time, they had the final say in Nanyuan.
They have beautiful thoughts in their minds.
But they overlooked one very important thing.
That is, Li Ye ordered Zhao Wudi to lead people to train able-bodied men.
The purpose of doing this is to more effectively command the able-bodied men to work and to build river embankments more efficiently.
Moreover, with so many people being mobilized at once, effective command would be impossible without a unified command.
All the control of everyone is in the hands of Zhao Wudi, and Zhao Wudi is very loyal to the emperor.
Even if Li Xuantian knew, he would definitely not worry.
Not to mention that Zhao Wudi had already told the emperor in advance.
It is just training to make everyone obey the discipline, but it is impossible to form combat effectiveness.
Soon Li Xuantian received the memorial.
Just one look and his face turned ashen.
"Not only are these people doing nothing, they're even trying to frame the prince. Damn it!"
"If Zhao Wudi hadn't told me in advance, someone else might have been fooled."
"They simply want me to take Li Ye back to the capital first so they can seize all the food."
"Once disaster relief is complete, a group of these officials must be executed. All those involved in corruption must not be spared!"
Li Xuantian was really angry this time.
These people wanted to attack the prince without any investigation.
Jane was lawless and had no regard for the dignity of the royal family.
The chief eunuch was also very angry and immediately added fuel to the fire.
He said in a shrill voice with great anger: "Your Majesty is wise, and the Sixth Prince has performed extremely well.
Based on observations over the years, the Sixth Prince has never had any thoughts about the throne.
Moreover, he has performed extremely well during this period and is deeply favored by His Majesty.
As long as you are not stupid, it is absolutely impossible for you to have the intention of rebelling.
What's more, our Dayuan Dynasty is extremely powerful and the government is stable.
No matter how many people there are without weapons, how can they succeed in a rebellion?
With the Sixth Prince's intelligence and wisdom, there is no way he would do such a foolish thing."
Li Xuantian agreed with this and sighed deeply: "In the past few years, all my energy has been used to deal with Yunlu Pavilion! I have been too indulgent towards the officials below.
It seems that all local officials must be thoroughly investigated in the future.
Once corruption begins, it will be a huge disaster for the people."
"I do have an idea! His Highness the Sixth Prince is very talented and quite resourceful.
It would be better to wait until he completes the disaster relief work and then let him tour the country on behalf of the emperor.
Expose all corrupt officials.
The Sixth Prince alone is even comparable to all the imperial censors.
Only His Highness the Sixth Prince hates evil and dares to stand up for the people!"
The chief eunuch took the opportunity to speak for Li Ye.
Originally, he was kind enough to help Li Ye have the opportunity to make greater contributions.
As long as more corrupt officials are arrested, they can show their face in front of the emperor once more.
And you can also gain enormous power.
It's definitely something everyone dreams of.
But for Li Ye, it was simply a huge disaster.
Going to provide disaster relief is also a last resort for the people.
If he were to go on tours to deal with corrupt officials, he would be exhausted to death.
Li Xuantian was very interested in this suggestion.
The imperial court was not short of honest and upright officials, but these people were too rigid in their work, and it was clear that they were not smart enough to deal with corrupt officials.
Without sufficient skills and means, it is impossible to find evidence of corrupt officials' crimes.
Li Ye has a high enough status to have no worries, and he is also extremely smart, making him the perfect person to deal with these corrupt officials.
