After all, when people carry water on the road, it is inevitable that the water will be spilled, causing waste.

But it’s different with a waterwheel. It can bring water directly to the fields. It’s such a wonderful idea. He really thinks that the person who came up with the design of a waterwheel must have a very smart brain.

As a result, his son told him that it was designed by his niece, which made him very surprised.

The key is that in order to successfully build such a large water conservancy project, the manpower and material resources required are absolutely enormous.

The third prince directly let the refugees participate in it. Everyone can work and get paid according to the amount of work each person does every day.

In this way, refugees do not need to rack their brains to think about where to get food, as long as they are not lazy and are willing to work hard.

In addition to filling your stomach every day, you can also save a little money. Over time, you will have more and more money in your hands.

Moreover, refugees who perform well can get enough Grade A awards and be allocated houses and land. This is undoubtedly great news for the refugees.

The people's food, clothing and daily necessities all depend on the harvest from the fields. Only when the harvest from the fields is more, their lives will be better.

But this can only be achieved on the basis of having land. If they don’t have land, they will lose the basis for survival and will have only the option of begging for food.

But begging is not a long-term solution, especially during years of disasters, when every household is in great difficulty. People have to be thankful to be alive, let alone have enough food. How can they have extra food to give to others?

Therefore, if the Third Prince wants to completely settle the refugees, he must make the refugees feel a sense of belonging, and the fields and houses are a reassurance to the people.

Of course, the number of refugees is too large. Even if the imperial court emptied the treasury, it would be impossible to help hundreds of thousands of refugees build houses in a short period of time.

He felt that the method used by the third prince was extremely appropriate, which was to allow refugees to exchange their A-grade grades for the right to house allocation. This would greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the refugees and at the same time widen the gap between refugees.

Only by widening the gap can those refugees who are slacking off and unwilling to work see that every bit of effort they save will be reflected in tangible benefits.

In this way, even those who like to cheat and play tricks on others will put in their best efforts to work.

It was thanks to a series of measures taken by the Third Prince that, although the imperial court only allocated 600,000 kilograms of grain to him, the Third Prince solved the survival problems of hundreds of thousands of refugees.

With such great achievements, even without the emperor's decree, the Third Prince is worthy of being the Crown Prince. He is by no means comparable to the First and Second Princes who are only seeking fame and reputation.

Among these things, he also keenly discovered that no matter what the third prince did or what decision he made, there was the shadow of his niece Li Mengyue.

He made a bold guess that the reason why the Third Prince dared to allow hundreds of thousands of refugees to participate in the construction of water conservancy projects at the same time and provided enough food and money to feed the refugees and settle their wages was all because of the money provided by his niece.

He also knew that his guess was too unbelievable, but after thinking about it, he felt that this was the most reliable possibility.

This also explains why the emperor and the queen were willing to let the third prince give such a heavy betrothal gift to their niece. Meng Yue really deserves a heavy betrothal gift.

On the contrary, he also vaguely felt that those seemingly very valuable betrothal gifts were already extraordinary in the eyes of the world.

But compared with the efforts of his niece, it seems insignificant. This is enough to prove that the person the third prince is going to marry must be his niece, and there is no way it can be any other girl.

Even if Yun Ran had planned everything, he would not have been able to realize his wish, because his niece was so capable that she could feed hundreds of thousands of refugees on her own and help the court solve a problem that had not been solved for thousands of years.

Building water conservancy projects is a feat that has never been done before and will never be done again.

He believed that if what his niece had done were ever made public, it would definitely leave a mark in history books and become something that countless officials throughout history had wanted to do but were unable to do.

As for where his niece got the huge amount of food and money, that was not his concern.

What's more, he also felt that the third prince concealed his niece's contribution just to protect her.

After all, if people knew that a village girl could easily take out huge amounts of money and food, it would definitely attract the covetousness of those who were interested.

Then my niece will be in danger all the time and will never live a peaceful life again.

Prince An was no longer so anxious when he thought about his niece who was unknown in the capital but would become brilliant and dazzling after leaving the prime minister's residence.

On the contrary, he was secretly looking forward to seeing how miserably Yun Ran would die if he faced his niece.

Although he is a prince, he really shouldn't spend his time and energy on women's fights.

But Yun Ran offended his niece. He didn't do it to watch the fun. He just wanted to lend a helping hand when his niece was in danger to prevent her from being bullied.

Xie Shiya looked at his father's transformation from extremely nervous to calm and was quite confused.

She had explained it so clearly, she didn't believe that her father didn't understand. It was obvious that her father was also very anxious and nervous, and wanted to go to Fushouyuan immediately to have Yun Ran kicked out.

But after just a cup of tea, his father picked up his pen again and went about his official business.

"Father, did you hear what your daughter said?"

"Ya'er, you are already married. You are no longer an unmarried girl. You should stay calm when encountering things. Don't be anxious or flustered."

"Father, how can I not be anxious? You should know that my grandmother is about to be fooled by Yun Ran. My grandmother has already promised to prepare a dowry for Yun Ran."

"It's nothing, it's just a small dowry, it doesn't matter if I give it to her."

Xie Shiya stamped her feet in anger: "Father, I don't want to talk to you anymore, I want to go find my mother."

Xie Shiya was disappointed that she didn't see her father looking for trouble with Yun Ran, so she wanted to go to her mother's courtyard.

After Xie Shiya left, Prince An still called the butler and told him to send someone to keep an eye on the old lady at all times to prevent Yun Ran from accidentally taking advantage of the opportunity to hurt the old lady.

The butler received the order and went down to make the arrangements.

Prince An sat on a chair. Although he believed in his mother's fighting ability, he still had to be cautious in everything.

After all, his daughter said that the old lady was speaking harshly to Yun Ran one moment, and then she was smiling the next. Although he didn't know whether the old lady did it on purpose, it was indeed a little abnormal.
