Ruan glanced at the busy craftsmen outside the door, closed the door, walked around and sat down next to the Eleventh Prince.

The eleventh prince Chu Lan glanced at her warily, "What do you want to do?"

Ruan Ningxiang frowned and said, "Why, of course I am helping you make meritorious service."

Do we need to close the door? Chu Lan suddenly felt guilty. He was a grown man and a dignified prince. Why did he feel guilty when facing a bandit girl?

Chu Lan instantly regained her confidence and straightened her back, "Are you sure you don't want to harm me?"

"You have your own brains. Is it going to hurt you or help you? You don't want to listen first." Ruan Ningxiang lowered her voice, "Originally, I planned to use the model of refugees staying in exchange for rent to attract investment. However, I also have a way to benefit the people.

A good idea to benefit the country."

Chu Lan pretended to pick up the tea cup and said, "Let's talk and listen."

Ruan Ningxiang said: "The country is based on the people, and the country is also established for the people. Now that the border is stable, people's livelihood issues will become a major issue for the country in the future.

If, taking advantage of this refugee incident, the Eleventh Prince can settle them down, it will not only be a great achievement.

In the future, when you are by the prince's side, in the eyes of the courtiers, the emperor will look at you differently."

"What do you want to say after going around and around?" Chu Lan didn't understand what she meant, but was a little moved by her words.

"Those refugees will be accommodated in merchant homes through rent-for-housing. Although the refugees seem to be settled, there will be many details.

For example, over time in the future, conflicts will inevitably arise between refugees and merchants. No matter what the cause of the conflict is, once it causes a negative impact, it means that the court did not do its job well in the first place."

"Then what does that have to do with me?" The eleventh prince lost his patience, "The idea was yours, and the prince agreed."

"This was a last resort that I came up with in an emergency, but now there is a better way." Ruan Ningxiang was not in a hurry, and slowly dispelled the doubts in the eleventh prince's mind, "My suggestion is to set up a nursing home to

Those refugees have settled in, so that the refugees can get better settlement, so naturally they are full of praise for the Eleventh Prince."

"It's easy for you to say. Where can hundreds of people settle down?" Chu Yu thought she really had a good idea.

"As far as I know, the imperial court has confiscated many courtiers' homes in the past two years, and many of them are idle. They can just find a yard and build a temporary shop in the house. It will not be too late to discuss the rest in the future." Ruan Ningxiang said firmly.

, "The most important thing is that the Eleventh Prince gets the credit first before it becomes real."

"What kind of skill is this?" the eleventh prince muttered.

"This is just one of them. The most important thing is the investment promotion later." Ruan Ningxiang glanced at the closed door again and continued to bewitch her mysteriously.

"The things that carpenters do outside, including labor, wood, including building houses in the future, etc. are all money.

Therefore, I suggest that the management of the commercial street be directly summarized by the imperial court. The gap between rent and taxation can be understood by the eleventh prince at a glance.

This can be regarded as a disguised form of rent-for-housing, which solves the accommodation problem for the refugees and creates an income for the court. Isn't this a double win?

At that time, the refugees will spread word of mouth about you, and your good reputation as the eleventh prince for caring for the people will spread throughout the streets.

The eleventh prince not only helped the emperor solve his urgent needs, but also helped the emperor solve his worries. In front of the courtiers, he also demonstrated your overall pattern of focusing on people's livelihood and created a revenue stream for the court.

The eleventh prince has made such great achievements, do you think your position as prince is secure?"

Ruan Ningxiang relied on her skillful tongue to break down the pros and cons and explained it to him. Chu Lan was already moved by the explanation.

But Chu Lan was still hesitating and did not respond.

Ruan Ningxiang ignited another fire, "I don't want my wealth to go to outsiders. If you find it troublesome, then I will go find the Ninth Prince. I believe that the Ninth Prince is willing to stand up in front of the Crown Prince..."

"etc……"

As soon as Ruan Ningxiang stood up, she was stopped by Chu Lan again, "I will enter the palace now."

After saying that, Chu Lan entered the palace furiously.

Ruan Ningxiang looked at Chu Lan's back. Originally, she was still thinking about how to tell the prince about this matter. She didn't want to get too close to the prince.

Let's ask Chu Yu for help, but I'm afraid the prince will be too worried.

Unexpectedly, the Eleventh Prince was quite easy to fool.

The eleventh prince found his father in the side hall of Yong'an Palace, and stammered what Ruan Ningxiang said in one breath.

The emperor, who was immersed in sorting out the papers, raised his head and glanced at him, "Who told you to say this?"

"Son, I thought about it myself." Chu Lan's nervous forehead showed beads of sweat, "The country is based on the people, and the country is also established for the people. When I saw the suffering people, I deeply felt the need for the people.

They are suffering, so I want to do my little bit to help them, and I also want to share some of my father's worries."

"Since you are so concerned about this matter, let me leave it to you." The emperor casually wrote a handwritten edict and threw it to the eleventh prince.

Chu Lan was a little flattered. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

He picked up the manuscript like a treasure, left Yong'an Palace, left the palace again, and went to the Ministry of Works.

Today, Ruan Ningxiang came back from the Ministry of Industry relatively early, and the Eleventh Prince went directly to the main residence of Zhao'an County without seeing anyone.

The sun was setting, the evening breeze was cool, and Ruan Ningxiang was sitting in the yard playing with Xiaodouzi.

There were several cats surrounding Xiaodouzi. Ruan Ningxiang was holding a wooden car model in her hand. The car had four wooden wheels. With a slight push, it ran a long way along the bluestone paved ground.

Xiaodouzi giggled happily, walked on her short legs, took the car home again, handed it to Ruan Ningxiang, and stared at Ruan Ningxiang with a pair of dark eyes.

The corner of her eye fell on Ruan Ningxiang's face, her face was gentle, "This is called a car, Xiaodouzi still wants to play with it, right?"

Xiaodouzi nodded.

Xiaodouzi didn't like to talk, so Ruan Ningxiang taught him patiently, "You talk about cars."

"Car." Ruan Ningxiang drove the car in front of him again and showed it off.

"Car..." Xiaodouzi made a milky voice, "Play."

Ruan Ningxiang took the car and played with him for a while, then looked at Su He, "Su He, how are you and A Yue's wedding going? Have you customized your suit?"

Su He shook his head. In the past two days, Xiaodouzi and she gradually became familiar with each other. She no longer talked about looking for her mother, but was more clinging to her. She didn't even have time to serve her master these past two days.

"A-Yue and I are not in a hurry." Su He was sitting on the swing chair, sewing a winter cotton coat for Xiaodouzi.

"Why are you not in a hurry? I am still in a hurry to eat wedding candies and wedding wine." Ruan Ningxiang stood up, "Besides, I have prepared the betrothal gift."

Su He was a little shy, "County Master, you don't have to go to such trouble. A Yue and I can just choose a day and do it simply.

"Hey." The eleventh prince Chu Lan walked directly across the courtyard door, "We are talking about getting married so soon, can I have a glass of wedding wine then?"
