Thinking about the silver tael the singers personally brought over only to be taken by Lin Yi made the Fourth Prince grit his teeth in frustration.
However, losing a music workshop meant the value of crayfish skyrocketed tenfold, which could be considered a compensation.
To ensure the money pocketed wouldn't fly away again, the Fourth Prince had people guard the crayfish pits upstream of the moat all day long, leaving no room for mistakes.
On the first day the crayfish went to market, a total of 100 bushels were sold, earning Yang Gong and his associates a hefty sum.
Following Lin Yi's plan, they would feign selling crayfish outside the Imperial City, increasing their order to the Fourth Prince by 2000 bushels.
A deposit for 2000 bushels was no small amount, and the Fourth Prince was tempted, but for safety, he decided to refuse after confirming that the current crayfish inventory wasn't sufficient.
Having just turned down Yang Gong's order, Lin Yi promptly sprang into action.
