Chapter 305 I Have a Countermeasure
"In the past, there was little land and few people in the land reclamation in the south of Xingshan County, so the expenses were naturally low. Before the farmers who reclaimed the land planted crops, much of their food and clothing expenses were paid by the government and His Highness. Bear it, I believe His Highness knows that this is a big expense." Wei Ruodao.
"This old slave is well aware of this. It is indeed a large expense."
"Tell me, grandma, now that the scope has expanded to include the refugees in Taizhou Prefecture, the number has increased several times. The expenditure before everyone can plant crops is How many?" Wei Ruo asked.
Nanny Qin did not answer immediately, but her look told Wei Ruo that she knew this was not a small amount of money.
Wei Ruo then added: "Besides, the more the number of refugees and disaster victims, the greater the difficulty in management. More people need to participate in management and adjustment to avoid all kinds of chaos." Nanny Qin was silent again,
she Of course I can understand what Wei Ruo means.
Even ordinary people are difficult to control once their numbers increase, let alone refugees who have lost their homes and land and are victims of disasters.
"What the eldest lady is saying...is that the method proposed by His Highness is not feasible?" Nanny Qin asked.
"With all due respect, the manpower that His Highness the Seventh Prince has with him today is far from enough." Wei Ruo said frankly.
"Your Highness does not have to settle all the refugees and disaster victims. If you only select a small part and control the scale within a certain range, and the difficulty is similar to the previous one in the south of Xingshan County, there should be no problem, right?" Qin Ma Grandma said.
Wei Ruo smiled slightly: "Mommy, if the scale is the same as before, why would Your Highness bother with this? We have already done the same thing once, so what is the significance of another one? Your Highness wants to accomplish this now. You must be aiming to solve the problem of the victims of the entire Taizhou Prefecture and achieve greater achievements, right?" Wei
Ruo's words hit the point, and Nanny Qin immediately had no words to refute.
After thinking for a moment, Nanny Qin said, "Are you planning to use these two excuses to reject His Highness?"
Wei Ruodao: "It's not that I reject it completely. I just think this matter can be solved in another way." "
Young lady, do you mean you have a better solution?" Nanny Qin asked hurriedly.
"That's right." Wei Ruo replied.
"How to solve it?" Nanny Qin asked hurriedly.
"My solution is also very simple. Since His Highness and I are not enough for this matter, we should involve the Yuan family and the dignitaries of Taizhou Prefecture to mobilize all available resources. In this way, If you have a chance, you can make it happen." Wei Ruodao.
"It is not easy to get all the dignitaries in Taizhou Mansion to participate." Nanny Qin said.
"I know, don't worry, mama. Since I dare to propose such a solution, I can certainly convince you." Wei Ruo replied.
Looking at Wei Ruo's confident eyes, Nanny Qin thought for a moment and then said: "The old slave can't answer what the eldest lady said, so I have to go back and ask His Highness for instructions." "
Nanny, just go and ask for instructions." Wei Ruo looked calm.
After Wei Ruo analyzed the matter, Nanny Qin did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately left the principal's residence and rushed back to report to Chu Lan.
After Nanny Qin left, Xiumei asked Wei Ruo with some worry: "Miss, if His Highness the Seventh Prince agrees, then wouldn't we still have to be involved with His Highness the Seventh?" Wei Ruo said: "The trees are hidden in the forest, everyone is here
. If you get involved, it won't appear that the connection between the Wei family and the Seventh Prince is particularly close. And when the time comes, if there is really any credit, it won't all be attributed to the Seventh Prince." Xiumei flattened her mouth and said
for Wei Ruo was indignant: "In the final analysis, His Highness is too unkind. The young lady has obviously helped him once, but now he is threatening the young lady."
This is not even counting the time when their lady saved the Seventh Prince! Wei Ruodao: "Whoever puts his identity out there, I can't afford to offend or hide from him. But if this thing really comes to pass, it won't be completely beneficial to me. At least I can actually help some people who are affected by the disaster. We can also use this opportunity to delay the marriage with the Xu family. When the time comes, we can run around in the fields more and get a bad reputation for not observing women's ethics."
Wei Ruo wanted to do something for these refugees, but he didn't I just like working with Chu Lan.
Now that there was no way to avoid it, she could only think about the good things.
Xiumei couldn't help but said: "I heard that the late Queen Xu might still have a ninth prince alive. I really hope this is true now. Then this ninth prince appears and restrains the seventh prince so that he can't do anything anymore. Bullying you, miss!"
Xiumei's wish was simple, direct and beautiful.
But it is just a wish, because the rumored Ninth Prince who may still be alive has not even appeared in person at all. So far, it is just everyone's conjecture and speculation.

Nanny Qin returned to Xiaowei's Mansion an hour later, much faster than Wei Ruo expected.
"His Highness said that the eldest lady's analysis is reasonable. As long as the eldest lady can convince many dignitaries in Taizhou Prefecture, His Highness is willing to fully support the eldest lady." Aunt Qin brought Chu Lan's reply.
"Okay, I will go to the Yuan Mansion to meet Mrs. Yuan early tomorrow morning. I will inform Nanny Qin after the date is determined." Wei Ruodao.
"I am currently living in His Highness's temporary residence in Fucheng. If you need me for anything, if you need me, you can go there and find me at any time. I will be there at your call." Nanny Qin said.
"Okay, then Nanny Qin, just wait for my news."
Early the next morning, Wei Ruo went to Yuan Mansion to find Mrs. Yuan.
That afternoon, Mrs. Yuan sent invitation letters in her own name to the matrons of powerful families in Taizhou Prefecture.
These ladies are usually Mrs. Yuan's guests, so they are all invited by Mrs. Yuan.
Mrs. Yun also received an invitation letter from Mrs. Yuan, which was brought back to her directly by Wei Ruo.
In Cangyun Garden, Mrs. Yun, who was sitting in the main seat, read the invitation letter, and then asked Wei Ruo in confusion: "Why is Mrs. Yuan looking for us tomorrow?" The letter only said that we had important matters to discuss, but there was
no Explain what is important.
Time is tight, so if it is an ordinary invitation to get together, it will usually be arranged several days in advance.
"We'll find out when we get there tomorrow. I can't explain the matter in a sentence or two." Wei Ruo replied, with a cold expression on his face, and had no intention of explaining more to Yun.
Yun couldn't help but frowned: "Why do you have such an attitude? Mom just asked you a few questions, why are you so impatient?"
Wei Ruo chuckled and said, "Mom didn't tell me some things, why do you ask me? What can I tell you about everything?"
Yun was startled, and a look of guilt flashed across her face, but she quickly covered it up.
"What are you talking about?" Yun said angrily, raising her voice specially.
