Chapter 53 – Brilliant Idea The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (2/2)

“That’s right.” Ye Tian Qi nodded but he was still scowling, “However, the rain in this year is much more than the previous year. I’m afraid the dam must be built very high…” That means it will be costly.

“There are soldiers guarding at Ling Nan, I think you can order them to build the dam now, priority comes first.” Shu Nan Xiang smiled cheerfully : The soldiers are all muscular and strong, they can surely work swiftly. The progress will definitely speed up with their help.

“Then, we can appeal to the public to donate money and necessary needs to help the citizens in Ling Nan…”

“This idea… is not bad!” Ye Tian Qi praised her, but he was still anxious : Donate money? The rich men must be disgusted with this idea.

“Thanks for Fourth Prince’s compliment!” Shu Nan Xiang smiled humbly. She took a look at Ye Tian Qi, he was looking down, not sure what he was thinking, but he was not happy at all.

She stole a glance at Ouyang Shaochen, he acted as if he did not listen to what she said just now.

Is there something wrong with her idea? Shu Nan Xiang looked at Murong Xue confusedly, “Ms. Murong, what do you think about my idea?”

Murong Xue said reluctantly, “It’s barely passes!”

The idea can only solve the problem temporarily, but not resolving the root of the problem, it was too costly as well. Ouyang Shaochen and Ye Tian Qi did not agree with her because they knew it.

Shu Nan Xiang was enraged, “You sound like you don’t actually agree with me. You must have something great in your mind. Why don’t you share with us? That way I can learn from you.”

Ouyang ShaoChen and Ye Tian Qi had a lot of experience, it was fine if they are not satisfied with her idea, but Murong Xue was only an ordinary lady, how dared she look down upon her idea. It was time to teach her a lesson.

Murong Xue’s face was darkened. Shu Nan Xiang’s idea was not accepted by Ye Tian Qi because it was something wrong with the idea, there was nothing to do with her. Shu Nan Xiang did not think of a better way but was looking for trouble now. Alright, since she wanted to listen to a better plan, then I’ll tell her my plan.

“Raining heavily, flash flood, it’s not necessary to build a new dam. However, canals can be built. There are many mountains in Ling Nan, the irrigation ditch can turn the millions of gallons of water into a natural lake. The flood problem in Ling Nan can be resolved in that way…” said Murong Xue.

She continued, “The citizens in Ling Nan stay near to the mountain, most of the men know the skill to create canals. The government can hire them to work on it and pay them some money and food daily. For women, children and old people, food should be provided to them so that we don’t need to force the stingy rich men to donate their money.”

“Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!” Ye Tian Qi clapped his hand impressively as he gazed at Murong Xue with admiration.
