[The deposed prince was exiled + territory management + pretended to be useless and slapped in the face + military supply trade war + border war]
Xia Linyuan, the sixth prince of Daxia, is recognized as a waste prince in the capital.
On the day the engagement was broken off, he was demoted to Huangzhou by an imperial edict. The snowstorm there had just passed, the granaries were empty, the people were starving to death, the frontier troops were deprived of pay, bandits cut off food routes, Beidi was eyeing him, and the prince sent people to wait to see him die.
Everyone thought that Huangzhou was his burial place.
But no one knew that this useless king who was afraid of death and greedy for money had already replaced the soul of a modern military expert in his body.
On the surface, he pretended to be cowardly and borrowed food from wealthy families; he secretly checked the accounts and set up a trap, trapping and killing bandits overnight.
He opened a porridge factory, built city walls, reorganized military households, built workshops, controlled salt and iron, opened trade routes, and turned a dead city into a living city.
The prince cut off his food?
He controlled the border military supplies with his backhand.
Beidi is under pressure?
He used the new army of Huangzhou to attack the enemy country and ask for peace.
The whole court laughed at him as a waste, the noble family waited for him to kneel down, and the emperor only treated him as a pawn.
It wasn't until the world was in chaos and the war broke out in the north that everyone discovered——
The deposed prince who was demoted to Huangzhou has long since become Daxia's true military lifeblood.
