After all, when carrying water on the road, it is inevitable that the water will be spilled, causing waste.
But it was different with the waterwheel, which could bring water directly to the fields. It was such a brilliant idea. He really felt that the person who came up with the design of the waterwheel must have a very good brain.
His son told him that it was his niece who designed it, which surprised him greatly.
The key point is that if you want 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, the 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 behave well can get enough A-grade certificates and be allocated houses and land. This is undoubtedly great news for refugees.
The people's food and clothing all depend on the harvest from the fields. Only when the fields harvest 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 the only way out is begging.
But begging is not a long-term solution, especially in years of disaster, when every household is in trouble. Let alone having enough to eat, they are just grateful to be alive. How can they have extra food to give to others?
If the third prince wants to completely resettle the refugees, he must make the refugees feel at home, and the fields and houses are a reassurance for the people.
However, the number of refugees was too large. Even if the imperial court emptied its treasury, it would be impossible to help hundreds of thousands of refugees build houses in a short period of time.
He felt that the third prince's method was extremely appropriate, which was to let the refugees rank first in exchange for the right to allocate houses. This would greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the refugees, and at the same time would widen the gap between refugees and refugee families.
Only by widening the gap can those refugees who are cunning and unwilling to work see that every bit of effort they save will be reflected in tangible benefits.
In this way, even if a worker likes to be sneaky and cunning, he will still work with all his strength.
It was thanks to a series of measures taken by the Third Prince that, although the imperial court had only allocated 600,000 kilograms of grain to him, he was able to solve 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, and is by no means comparable to the first and second princes who are 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 Meng Yue.
He boldly guessed that the reason why the Third Prince dared to let hundreds of thousands of refugees 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 paid 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 empress 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 insignificant 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 wants to marry must be his niece, and it cannot be any other girl.
Even if Yun Ran had planned everything, it would have been impossible for him to realize his wish. After all, his niece had done such a great thing that she could feed hundreds of thousands of refugees on her own and help the imperial court solve a problem that had been unsolved for thousands of years.
The construction of water conservancy projects was a feat unprecedented and unparalleled.
He believed that if what his niece was doing ever truly came to fruition, it would definitely leave a significant mark in history books, becoming something that countless officials throughout history had wanted to do but were unable to achieve.
As for where his niece got the huge amount of food and money, that was none of his concern.
What's more, he also felt that the Third Prince concealed his niece's achievements just to protect her.
After all, if people knew that a village girl could easily take out a huge amount 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 no longer have a peaceful life.
Thinking that his niece was unknown in the capital, but would shine and become dazzling after leaving the prime minister's residence, Prince An was no longer so anxious.
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 fighting with women.
But it was his niece that Yun Ran offended, and he was not there to watch the fun, but to lend a hand in time when his niece was in danger, so that she would not be bullied.
Xie Shiya looked at the king's change from being extremely nervous to being calm, which was really hard to understand.
She had already said it so clearly, she didn't believe that the prince didn't understand. Obviously, the prince was also anxious and nervous, and wanted to go to Fushouyuan immediately and have Yun Ran kicked out.
But after just a cup of tea, he picked up his pen again and went back to work.
"My Lord, did you hear what your daughter said?"
"Ya'er, you're already married. You're no longer a married young lady. You need to stay calm and don't rush."
"Your Majesty, how can I not be anxious? You should know that my grandmother is almost 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, so why not give it to her?"
Xie Shiya stamped her feet in anger: "Prince, I don't want to talk to you anymore. I want to go find my mother."
Xie Shiya was a little disappointed that she didn't see her father, the Queen, causing trouble for 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 taking advantage of the opportunity to hurt the old lady.
The housekeeper received the order and went down to make arrangements.
Prince An sat on the chair. Although he did not believe in his mother's fighting ability, he had to be careful about 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.
