The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

Qian Yuan's brain was working at high speed and he already had an idea.

"Mr. Qian, if you have any insights, feel free to speak up!" Prince Li sat in the main seat, his back leaning against the chair, looking majestic without even getting angry.

Everyone in the Jiang family has a good appearance.

Qian Yuan thought of Jiang Zhu and sighed.

He has been by Prince Li's side for many years and has put a lot of effort into becoming Prince Li's confidant.

Prince Li was already on the verge of becoming angry, and if he wasn't careful, he might lose his head.

Qian Yuan glanced at the aides and felt sympathy. These people were so stupid. He didn't know how they could stay with Prince Li for so long.

Liu County is now a hot potato. Whoever takes over will be in trouble!

"Your Highness, how about this? The magistrate of Liu County will not move for now. I will go to Liu County and find out what is going on."

After Qian Yuan finished speaking, the staff below glared at him angrily.

Prince Li took a quick glance and saw that some of those people's little thoughts were revealed, and his face immediately drooped.

"You want to be the county magistrate of Liu County so much? Grant you your wish! Just wait to die of old age in Liu County, and you cannot return without an imperial decree!"

There was an uproar below.

Those staff members who had ideas about this all changed their expressions, hunched their shoulders and lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.

Qian Yuan's plan was broken, so he could only bite the bullet and ask:

"My Lord, if I go to Liu County, you can make all the decisions?"

Prince Li finally showed a good face to Qian Yuan, "Of course you can, Mr. Qian represents me, your opinion is my opinion, bring the county magistrate back with you on your return journey."

Qian Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. It would be better if he was not exiled to Liu County. It took him a lot of effort to go from being an unknown person to being in front of Prince Li.

If he went there and never came back, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Relying on time and strategies, he outlasted the advisers around King Li one by one.

At this point, it was impossible for him to leave Prince Li easily.

Prince Li waved everyone away and kept Qian Yuan to talk.

"When you go there, first find out the identity of the magistrate of Liu County," Prince Li's face was tense and expressionless, "I suspect he is a pawn planted in Liu County by others to cause chaos in Lianzhou."

Qian Yuan took a deep breath, "It seems that Liu County is not normal. The county magistrate of Liu County concealed the disaster, but he still paid all the taxes this year. I don't know how he got it."

When Prince Li heard this, his face turned even darker.

The magistrate of Liu County plundered the local people, but he did it in his name, and more importantly, he had not seen any of the benefits yet.

The people of Liu County mistakenly thought that it was he who gave the order and complained bitterly.

Prince Li's expression became serious. "Don't delay. Go and select someone now. Make sure you select someone reliable. Come back after Liu County is stabilized. Remember, Liu County cannot be in chaos. Others are still watching."

Qian Yuan nodded solemnly, "I will definitely live up to your trust, Your Majesty. Don't worry about what's going on over there."

Qian Yuan knew very well what Prince Li was like in private.

This man has always been tyrannical and greedy, otherwise he would not have embezzled the Tie family's wealth and skills.

Qian Yuan had no idea about the specific situation of the Liu County magistrate and could only make some guesses.

This county magistrate was most likely oppressing the common people for his own future. The prince was angry because the money and property were not handed over.

Qian Yuan had an idea in mind and knew what to do.

The magistrate of Liu County was destined to become cannon fodder.

When he returned to the yard, many staff members were already waiting for him.

Qian Yuan glanced at them with a smile, "Oh, you are all rare guests!"

Some were thin-skinned and hung their heads in shame and anger.

Some people knew that it would be difficult for them to make a name for themselves around Prince Li, so they vied with each other to flatter Qian Yuan.

"Mr. Qian, I'm sorry for offending you in the past..."

Qian Yuan waited for them to finish speaking, then walked away with his head held high, without saying a word.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Now that their status was different, they dared not speak out and left in shame.

In the study, Prince Li sat at the desk, frowning in thought.

"Yue Song, where is Yue Wen?"

The personal guard Yue Song answered truthfully: "The news came back this morning, they just left Huaicheng, and no one was stopped."

Prince Li was stunned. "They failed to stop anyone? Are the Wei family members that powerful? They are all elite soldiers and strong generals!"

The remaining members of the Wei family were all powerless to resist, and the Wei army was destroyed in Lingzhou City by soldiers from Mingli and other places.

"The Prince of Yan may also be following them. There are some people protecting him."

Yue Song tried to excuse his brother, but was afraid that Prince Li would blame him.

Prince Li said nothing more.

Yue Song then continued to convey the message, "They are now divided into two groups. Yue Wen is leading his men to the last checkpoint, Jucheng. By the way, his letter also said that Huaicheng County Magistrate Lin Ge seems to be interested in joining us."

Their vassal kings had the right to appoint and dismiss officials under their jurisdiction, but in order to give face to the one above them, Prince Li did not exercise many privileges.

In previous years, he only placed people in some important but inconspicuous places. This was the first time that he directly dismissed the magistrate of Liucheng County.

Prince Li was favored, and the late emperor granted him many privileges, so it would be difficult for the emperor to openly make things difficult for him.

The magistrate of Liu County had previously expressed his intention to surrender, but later there was no further action.

"Yue Song, do you think the magistrate of Liu County gave those treasures to that person?"

Prince Li did not mention the matter of Lin Chromium, his attention was still on Liu County.

"It's hard to say for sure. We'll know after Mr. Qian goes there. Your Majesty, do you really want to break up with that guy? We're not in an advantageous position right now!"

Yue Song looked worried.

"It was that guy who forced me to do it. He stole my throne back then. Over the years, he only spent some time on state affairs. Now his heart is on women, haha!"

"Your Highness, Lin Ge has some background!" Yue Song thought of the relevant news about Lin Ge and quickly brought it up. "Lin Ge is familiar with Concubine Lian. Is there any other purpose for him being sent down to Huaicheng this time?"

"You are familiar with Concubine Lian, so why did you come to Huaicheng?" Prince Li had no impression of Lin Ge and could not match him at all.

Yue Song hesitated slightly: "Yue Wen mentioned in the letter that Lin Ge wanted to see you. I don't know when he will come."

"Never mind, let's wait for him to come over and see what's going on. We need to pay attention to Liu County. If the grain production there really decreases, it will be troublesome."

Prince Li frowned. Liu County was a major grain-producing county. If something happened there, he would also be seriously injured.

......

Bai Jingzhi had an idea and mentioned it to Wei Liu, "The magistrate of Liu County is so greedy, how about Grandpa Liu take some people with him to rob the rich and help the poor?"

"Are you serious? If I take him away, your safety will be in jeopardy—"

"Just take Jiang Lan's people with you!"

Bai Jingzhi said with a smile, "This way you don't have to worry about us, why not do it? It's just a little troublesome to persuade them, Sixth Grandpa, why don't you start with Wei Li and Chang Bo, they will agree."

The food supply will soon run out, and people like Jiang Lan will suffer as well. They will agree.

"I'm still old and I dare not be so bold!" Wei Liu smiled helplessly.
