Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

"It has reached its limit now. You know, a month ago, I sent another thousand people to mine and make honeycomb briquettes. So far, the number of people making honeycomb briquettes has reached 2,000. The open space in front of my house has become a honeycomb briquette manufacturing base. The number of honeycomb briquettes produced every day is as high as 100 million pieces. You know, this is already a huge number."

Xie Ruiyuan knew that Li Mengyue was not lying, but the amount of honeycomb coal produced was huge and the amount consumed was incalculable.

"Xie Ruiyuan, listen to me. The extreme cold weather in the north is a foregone conclusion. I still have a lot of cotton-padded clothes here. Have them transported to various cities in the north and sell them at a low price. At least make sure every citizen has a cotton-padded coat to wear."

"You don't have to worry about honeycomb coal. There is a steady supply of it every day, and then it is taken away by merchants and transported to various places to sell. You don't have to worry about this issue."

Hearing Li Mengyue talking about businessmen, Xie Ruiyuan remembered that Xinghua Village had united six villages to build a large market, which was indeed very successful and attracted many businessmen.

In particular, after merchants learned about the benefits of honeycomb coal, they rushed to purchase it and transported it to various places for sale.

However, Li Mengyue will not cooperate with every businessman. Instead, she will screen and select only one agent in each city. The agent will pay a certain amount of deposit based on the size of the city, and then they can cooperate.

The amount of the deposit varies, with the lowest being one thousand taels and the highest reaching tens of thousands of taels.

Li Mengyue collected hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as a deposit alone, which made him admire Li Mengyue's ability to make money.

"But I have a concern now, that is, cotton clothes and honeycomb cotton are not enough for the people, they also need quilts. They can't sleep in cotton clothes and burn honeycomb coal day and night. The amount consumed in this way is not something that ordinary people can afford even if I sell it at a low price."

When Li Mengyue said this, Xie Ruiyuan's eyes lit up. He knew that this was not what Li Mengyue meant.

Since Li Mengyue mentioned the quilt, it means that Li Mengyue has a quilt in her hand.

"Ayue, do you have a quilt?"

"Well, how many?"

“The number of quilts is slightly less, only 30 million.”

"How many?"

"Thirty million pieces. I know this is not a lot, but you also know that quilts use a lot more cotton than cotton-padded clothes. I can get thirty million cotton-padded clothes, which is pretty good."

"Ayue, I don't think it's too little, I just mean you have some concerns."

"Xie Ruiyuan, you also know how low the cotton production in Da Zhou is. If I take out so many cotton clothes and quilts at once, won't it be noticed by someone with ulterior motives?"

"Ayue, you have a very inaccurate understanding of yourself. Since you came to Xinghua Village, everything you have done is not something an ordinary girl can do. People have already noticed it. You don't need to have too much psychological burden."

"What? If you say so, then my situation is not very dangerous?"

"Ayue, don't worry, I will protect you and the child."

"Which eye of yours saw that I was worried? I just expressed how surprised I was. If I say that, won't I become the object of many people's competition?"

"What are you thinking? You belong to me alone. There is no way you can be involved with another man."

"Look at you. I just made a joke and you got so anxious."

"Ayue, I won't allow you to make such jokes in the future."

"Okay, okay, I won't open it. I'm afraid of you. Let's not talk about this matter. If I take out 30 million quilts at once, can you handle it?"

"Don't worry, this little thing won't be a problem for your man, right?"

"Tsk, who acknowledged you?"

"Ayue, you are pregnant with my child, who else do you want to be with if not me?"

"Isn't it good for me to take care of the baby by myself? Isn't it nice to be single for the rest of my life? Why should I find a man to make things difficult for myself? Do you think I was kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Ayue, I don't allow you to say that about yourself. Don't worry, after we get married, I won't interfere with you. You can do whatever you want. You have absolute freedom."

"That's more like it. Hey, there's one thing I want to ask you clearly. When did you meet Yun Ran and make her fall in love with you and not marry anyone else but you?"

"Ayue, I have never met Yun Ran, and I don't know what he looks like. And since I returned to Beijing, I haven't left the house, so there is no chance for us to meet. But there was one time when I was walking from the city gate to the palace, and Yun Ran might have taken advantage of me."

Hearing Xie Ruiyuan say this, Li Mengyue did not have the slightest doubt. After all, people like Xie Ruiyuan simply would not bother to lie. Besides, based on her understanding of Yun Ran, it was very likely that what Xie Ruiyuan said was true.

From this perspective, Yun Ran is just being self-indulgent. She wants to marry Xie Ruiyuan unilaterally and even dreams of becoming his principal wife. She really doesn't know her place.

She felt that she had reunited with her biological parents and had become the second daughter of the prime minister's family. Her status had leaped, and she could not see her own position clearly. She wanted to marry Xie Ruiyuan.

If Xie Ruiyuan had nothing to do with her, Yun Ran would marry or not, and she wouldn't care so much. But now Xie Ruiyuan is the father of her child, she can't just stand by and watch.

Originally, she and Yun Ran had a mortal feud, the kind of life-and-death feud that was irreconcilable. With the addition of Xiao Jiantong, she couldn't let Yun Ran go.

Now she learned that Yun Ran still dared to covet Xie Ruiyuan. How could she bear it?

So Li Mengyue got up and went directly to the warehouse. She had been to the warehouse in the villa several times, and each time she took out something from the space, either food or cotton clothes. This time was no exception, but what she took out was a quilt.

She only needed to take out the supplies and she would not worry about the rest. Xie Ruiyuan would arrange it.

Half a month later, the water conservancy project of the entire Qingshan Prefecture was officially completed. Looking at the built reservoirs and the excavated rivers running through Qingshan Prefecture and connecting with the rivers in the north and south, river transportation will save more time in the future.

The water conservancy project in Qingshan Prefecture could be completed within two months. Li Mengyue knew that it was inseparable from the joint efforts of the refugees and local people. For this reason, she paid out of her own pocket and gave everyone a red envelope of fifty cents.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees plus the people of Qingshan Prefecture is not a small amount of money, but for Li Mengyue now, this amount of money can be regarded as a drizzle and does not make Li Mengyue feel distressed at all.

The refugees and common people who received fifty cents were very grateful to Li Mengyue. Their gratitude value directly increased by more than five million, which was an unexpected big surprise.

After the construction of the water conservancy project came to an end, Li Mengyue not only did not relax at all, but became nervous instead, because she knew that the extreme cold mini ice age could come at any time.
