Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Allocating food is like treating a headache and treating a sore foot. This idea is very mediocre."

Ning Fan first targeted the prince.

At this time, it was necessary to suppress the prince's arrogance.

Sure enough, as soon as Ning Fan said these words, the prince couldn't sit still.

He stared at Ning Fan with a cold face and sneered again and again.

The bunch of scoundrels around the prince couldn't help it anymore, and they all stood up and accused Ning Fan of being too crazy.

The fourth prince Ning Xiao felt very happy when he saw this scene.

In his opinion, it was a great thing for Ning Fan to step out and suppress the prince.

At this time, don’t get too comfortable watching tigers fight from the top of a mountain.

"As for fourth brother, I don't agree either. Such reckless behavior will only lead to chaos everywhere!"

Ning Fan changed the subject, and even the fourth prince Ning Xiao was not spared.

Ning Xiao was laughing at the joke when he suddenly realized that the fire was burning on his head, and his face suddenly fell.

"Lao Liu, you said that the prince's method is useless, I have no objection, but why do you also criticize me? I said to kill those corrupt officials, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

The fourth prince Ning Xiao was furious.

"Your method is too childish!"

"Do you think my father doesn't want to kill those corrupt officials? But do you know what the public sentiment is like in the northwest now? If those corrupt officials knew that the end was coming, do you think they would sit back and wait for death?"

"When the time comes for you to fan the flames and incite the refugees to rebel, I'm afraid the situation will be difficult to deal with!"

Ning Fan sneered.

The fourth prince originally thought that his strategy was very subtle, but when Ning Fan refuted it, he was immediately speechless.

Standing there, his embarrassed toes almost dug out two rooms.

"Lao Liu, the prince and I really think about the country. Even if our methods are immature, what did you do? You just said sarcastic words!"

The fourth prince, Ning Xiao, was cornered by Ning Fan and started to fight back.

"Yes, Sixth Prince, you are standing and talking without pain in your back. Do you have a better solution than the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince?"

People around him also cast mocking glances at Ning Fan.

Even Xiao Lingxi had a slight disappointment in her eyes.

“My solution is to work for relief!”

Ning Fan smiled lightly and revealed this method of dealing with natural disasters that was hundreds or even thousands of years in advance.

However, the people around him looked confused because they couldn't understand what Ning Fan meant.

"Fourth, what are you doing here? If you can't think of a solution for the time being, don't be embarrassed!"

The fourth prince took the opportunity to ridicule.

A group of sycophants around the eldest prince also took the opportunity to fiercely attack Ning Fan.

"Sister Ling Xi, the so-called "relief for work" is actually the imperial court taking money to hire these disaster-stricken refugees to build cities, official roads, canals, river embankments... and other infrastructure. In other words, it is to use the money that would have been directly distributed The relief funds will be distributed in the form of wages!"

Ning Fan said to Xiao Lingxi.

He found that Xiao Lingxi was almost the only one in the audience who was listening carefully to what he said.

"Doing this seems to be no different from sending money directly, right?"

Xiao Lingxi didn't know what Ning Fan meant for a while.

"Wrong! Big mistake!"

"Directly providing food relief will certainly prevent these people from starving to death, but the economy of the northwest region will remain at a minimum level!"

"But if the court provides work-for-relief and hires these victims whose food harvest has stopped, on the one hand, it can consume their energy so that they have no extra thoughts to make trouble! On the other hand, it can also take the opportunity to build a large amount of infrastructure! Such as water canals, city walls, and roads Wait and lay the foundation for future development!”

Ning Fan talked eloquently and clearly explained the advantages of working-for-relief.

When people around me heard such a refreshing method, their eyes brightened.

"Sixth Prince, this is a good idea!"

"Yes, you can accomplish multiple things with one stone!"

"How did you come up with this idea?"

……

After hearing Ning Fan's explanation, everyone around them showed impressed expressions.

Even Xiao Lingxi looked at Ning Fan with brilliant eyes.

"But what about the money? Where does it come from?"

Ning Fan's method was good, but when she thought about money, Xiao Lingxi looked confused and even slightly disappointed.

I thought that Ning Fan would be astonishing with his skills as he did a few times before, but this time, although the opinions Ning Fan came up with were indeed very exciting, they lacked feasibility.

You know, the biggest problem facing Dakang now is lack of money!

In fact, the feasibility of Ning Fan's method is not as practical as the opinions of the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince.

"The money doesn't have to come from the treasury, I have my own way."

Ning Fan smiled mysteriously.

Hearing what Ning Fan said, Xiao Lingxi's expression was slightly excited, but soon turned to disappointment.

She thought carefully and realized that Dakang really didn't have much income now.

Ning Fan is not a god, what solution can he come up with?

"Lao Liu, your so-called solution is to take money from the treasury?"

The prince chuckled.

The fourth prince also sneered: "Your method of laughing at me is useless. Are you just talking empty words?"

The crown prince and the fourth prince started to attack one after another, and many people around looked at Ning Fan with disdain.

Ning Fan blinked at the two dogs in the distance. The two dogs immediately understood, turned around and trotted out.

"Sister Ling Xi, when this house was built, a lot of stone materials were spent, right?"

"And the bonding parts should be made of Sanhe soil, right?"

Ning Fan looked at the Xiao family's courtyard wall.

This courtyard wall is indeed made of Taihu stone, and the cost is definitely very high.

"Yes, only Sanhe soil can ensure long-term solidity, but the cost is too high."

Xiao Lingxi didn't know what Ning Fan meant, so she could only follow Ning Fan's words.

"It's too troublesome! Sister Lingxi, I recently got excited and made something called cement! With this thing, all the construction processes will become simple and strong!"

Ning Fan waved his hand, and Ergou and several guards brought in a bag of cement.

Looking at the blue-gray powder, everyone around them looked curious.

I don’t know what Ning Fan did with this thing.

"This thing is called cement, which can be understood as the powder after crushed bluestone! However, this thing has a characteristic, that is, it is mixed with water, sand and gravel in a certain proportion, and after being mixed into a paste, it can be shaped or bonded to bricks at will. Stone, once it dries, becomes as solid as stone, and can even last for decades!"

Ning Fan took the cement and introduced it to the people around him.

The people here today are all leaders of the younger generation. When Ning Fan took out the cement, it happened to be a good opportunity to advertise.

"Nonsense! How could there be such a magical thing in the world? If you solidified it and fired it, I would still believe it!"

The prince looked disbelieving.

Not only the prince, but also Xiao Lingxi's face showed some suspicion.
