"I don't have money." Mingruo waved his hand quickly. She hadn't received her huge dowry yet, so she wanted to keep the money on hand. If she left the palace, it would be her capital for her to settle down in the future.

"If you don't have money, you can come up with recipes and ideas." Si Haochen said with a smile.

"Oh, you mean that you are investing in technology." Mingruo found that Si Haochen's head was really useful. If he was put in modern times, he could at least become a domineering president.

"Technical investment... This statement is fresh." Bai Shen looked at the princess curiously, waiting for the explanation of the term.

Ming Ruo thought for a while and said, "Technical investment means using formulas, technical know-how, equipment, shops, etc., so that things other than money can be invested."

"Okay, Princess, please invest in technology." Bai Shen also felt that it is better to buy a princess than to buy a formula. Only with common interests can the princess come up with more good ideas, "What kind of profit does the princess want?"

Mingruo's eyes rolled and asked meaningfully: "Then I want to know whether to cooperate with you or with the prince..."

Bai Shen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the princess to ask such a sharp question. What should I say about this? He can't judge how much the prince trusts the princess now.

"Of course, it's a cooperation with me." Si Haochen spoke lightly.

"Oh, then give me half of it." Mingruo shrugged.

Although it is only half a share, the prince's secretly had industries all over Donghuan. If more and more businesses cooperate in the future and half a share of profits are taken, it would be a huge fortune. Bai Shen is sure that the princess does not know all the industries of the prince, then this half a share is indeed not a big deal.

Bai Shen asked with a smile: "If I cooperate with Bai, how much does the princess want?"

"It's at least 30%." Ming Ruo believes that marketing strategies and fresh products from later generations are absolutely worth this price.

"The prince's face is really valuable." Bai Shen sighed.

"That's natural." Ming Ruochong Si Haochen blinked playfully and screamed in his mouth - the Great Protector.

"Hehe." Si Haochen's eyes and eyebrows were stained with smiles.

"We just do it. I will draft a document in a while, and the princess will also write me the recipe for the bottom of the pot." Bai Shen felt that the boiling pot was filled with silver rolling in the boiling pot.

"Since I want to open a shop seriously, I will study the recipe carefully and then give you an accurate one." Today, I just fry the ingredients myself, not very rigorous, "You go to Lu Qiaojiang first and make the pot."

"Okay." Bai Shen nodded.

Mingruo stood up and said, "I'm going to read a book."

"Bring your book and go back to Meiyuan with me." Si Haochen spoke.

"Why?" Ming Ruo was a little confused.

"The Great Protector wants to watch you." Si Haochen went to the side to have tea, leaving only Bai Shen to fight on the dining table.

"Oh." Mingruo nodded, with a hot pot smell on his body. It would be nice to go to Meiyuan to soak in a hot spring, "I'll go and clean up."

"Um."

Mingruo went back to his room, wrapped his sleeping clothes, clothes he would change tomorrow, two books and flints into a small bag, and then put on a thick fox fur cloak. It would be fine.

The snow was still falling, Mingruo and Si Haochen walked side by side, Si Haochen held an umbrella, and Zisu was lanterns in front of him. Through the bamboo forest, the wind blew, making a rustling sound. Mingruo's body stiffened for a moment, and walking at night was indeed not suitable for her.

Si Haochen changed the umbrella to the other hand and reached out to hold Mingruo's little hand.

"I'm more afraid of the dark..." Ming Ruo explained awkwardly.

"It's rare that you are afraid of." Si Haochen's lips curled slightly.

When she returned to Meiyuan, Madam Dong was a little surprised: "The Princess is here."

"Madam, I want to take a shower first." After walking around here, the hot pot smell was still there, and the wok bottom of the wok was too lethal.

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare now." Madam Dong smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

Mingruo took a bath with fragrant petals and felt refreshed. He changed into bed clothes and wrapped his hair in a cloth towel to return to the bedroom.

After Si Haochen finished bathing, the ink spread behind him, wearing a cotton robe designed by Mingruo, sitting on the Arhat bed reading the report. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw Mingruo wearing the same style and color as him, and his depressed mood improved a little.

Alas, there are obviously so many materials, Zi Su wants to choose the same as Si Haochen for himself. This is a bit embarrassing when we meet.

Ming Ruo sat on the other side of the low table and opened the book to look. The master had not many pages of the book folded corners. These two books only mentioned the function of the Yanling Bracelet, just a few words. Ming Ruo closed the book and got almost zero useful information.

Si Haochen, who was reading the report opposite, also frowned slightly, and saw Ming Ruo put down the book: "How is it?"

"There is no substantive content." Mingruo shrugged, "What's wrong with you? Are you in trouble?"

"This year, the snow disaster in the northwest is severe. The army is already tight in food and grass, and now the charcoal and firewood are tight. I'm afraid that some soldiers will freeze to death..." Si Haochen pinched his eyebrows.

"Does the army also rely on burning charcoal to keep warm?"

"Otherwise?" Si Haochen felt that Ming Ruo asked was very strange.

When it comes to heating, this flint is a magical tool, but flint is very precious. For a 300,000 army, a flint is just a drop in the bucket. However, there are many stones that can burn fire.

"The prince can send someone to try to find it. In the mountains in the northwest, there will be a kind of black stone. It is lighter than real stones, with a crispy texture, and can burn fire and keep warm like charcoal. It is also a kind of mineral deposit, like gold, silver and jade, with mineral veins."

"Are you sure there is such a mine in the world?" Si Haochen was skeptical.

"I'm sure." She was talking about the coal mine. Although Mingruo had never been to the coal mine, he had met the real coal boss.

"Okay, I'll send someone to look for it." Si Haochen nodded.

"The grain in the army... could it be transported from your fiefdom in Jiangnan?" Ming Ruo guessed.

"Most of them are, and a small number of them are purchased from other state prefectures." Si Haochen saw Ming Ruo's defeated expression, "Then where do you think the food should come from?"

"Self-reliance and hard work." Mingruo spread his hands.

"Hmm?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows.

"The people in the northwest can support themselves, and the army is full of young and middle-aged people, can't even support themselves?"

"What do you mean is... let the soldiers go to farm?" Si Haochen shook his head, "No, the soldiers must practice every day and not slacken. Once they are farming, when there is war, there is no big difference between them and farmers..."

"Even if you practice every day, you can't get up early to train until evening, right? If there is no war, the soldiers will have nothing to do after training, and a group of energetic young people will join you together, and maybe they will cause trouble.
