Meng Huaiyan's eyes were locked on Zhu Ruru, and her expression was much softer than usual, "What do you think? I listen to you."

Zhu Ruru rubbed his hands and said, "Then let's settle it, but when will it be settled?"

Zhu Ruru tilted her head and thought.

Not far away, Bo Feng, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly walked over and suggested with a smile on his face: "No more than the next month. There are several good days next month, I will choose one for you."

Tang Qinglan also walked out of the kitchen at this time and agreed, "I think I'll do it next month."

She turned her head and looked at Meng Huaiyan: "Young Master Ayan, I know you are alone now and have no parents around you. Let's just make it simple for engagement and just invite some acquaintances to have a meal."

"As for the betrothal gift, just try your best to watch it."

"I just need to love my family in the future, and you two can work hard to make your life better."

One of the reasons why Tang Qinglan suddenly accepted Meng Huaiyan was that she saw that he was a reliable person.

And her family is not bad. As long as the two of them work hard and work together, they will definitely live a good life.

Although Meng Huaiyan does not have her parents around, she is a well-mannered person and has outstanding appearance. Although her temperament is a little cold, she has nothing to say to her family, Ruru and their family.

After all, Ruru was resigned by the prince. Apart from Meng Chengyue's child, it is probably not that easy to find another good family.

But her family Ruru is not interested in Meng Chengyue.

It’s not bad to choose Meng Huaiyan if you want to go second.

Tang Qinglan’s idea is that simple.

"Okay, Aunt Lan, I promise you that I will not let her down in this life." Meng Huaiyan bowed Tang Qinglan with fists, and his tone was rarely solemn.

"Okay, okay." Tang Qinglan nodded with satisfaction.

Rubbing his eyes and going to the kitchen again.

The next day, Zhu Ruru rushed to the town with the medicines she had prepared in the past few days.

In the government office, when Zhu Ruru had already prepared the medicine and brought it all over, General Cheng was very happy and personally received her.

"I wish the girl a hard work these days."

"It's okay, I can get the pirates done earlier and I can feel at ease sooner."

Zhu Ruru looked at Cheng Zongzhen and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhengzhen took the initiative to say, "Miss Zhu has something to say? But it's okay to say it."

Zhu Ruru was not polite and said, "I really have some questions to ask the General Town."

"We often have barbarian pirates attacking here, and it is not a solution to fight passively every time. I wonder if the court has better solutions, such as building a stronger city wall..."

According to her understanding, the urban defenses in Changting County are not very good.

The wall of the city of Hie'an Town was probably built decades ago and has been destroyed by many wars. Although it has been repaired and repaired, it is not strong enough and can easily be broken.

When Zhu Ruru mentioned this, General Cheng frowned.

The imperial court did have plans to build city defense, which actually came into being a few years ago.

In recent years, more and more exiled prisoners have been sent here.

It is to have enough coolies when building city defenses.

However, the plan has been established, but the top leaders have not allocated funds.

If you don’t have money, everything is empty talk.

As the top leader of Hai'an Town, Cheng Zong Town hopes to implement this plan faster than anyone else, and hopes to build the new urban defense as soon as possible.

This matter was not something that a criminal like Zhu Ruru should know, but because she made many contributions in the attacks of pirates and barbarians, Cheng Zongzhen did not hide it and revealed it directly to her.

"You mean that the imperial court had already planned to build urban defenses in Changting County, but it was still being put on hold because of insufficient funds?"

The construction of urban defenses is all matters of the Ministry of Works.

Zhu Ruru remembers that the Minister of Works, who seemed to be from Prince Situ Ling.

When Zhu Ruru passed by, the first time he saw Situ Ling, he really had no good feelings for him.

She guessed that the city defense plan here has not been approved for funds, and most of the time it is not approved for that guy.

Mr. Cheng sighed, "Not only the official, the general of the county government also writes to mention this matter many times every year, but he has never received any response."

It is impossible to build such a large project of urban defense without the support of the court.

Changting County is actually not bad. Most of the land is fertile and is still by the sea.

However, due to the invasion of barbarians and pirates, it is difficult to develop.

In addition, a large amount of taxes are paid every year.

These local governments are also poor and useless. It is impossible to spend funds to build city defenses.

Zhu Ruru twitched the corner of her mouth when she heard this.

If he didn't get a response, it was probably because Situ Ling had embezzled all the money to other projects.

Situ Ling is a very enjoyable person. Two years ago, with his strong advice, the emperor agreed to build a large summer resort in Dongfeng Mountain.

The funding for building the summer resort is a huge sum without thinking.

If all the funds are used up, we can only reduce other projects.

Therefore, Zhu Ruru guessed that in a short time, there is no need to think about the funding for building city defense.

However, this is not a solution. Zhu Ruru doesn't want to hide from her family every time, and she may even die if she is not careful.

She has lived enough of this kind of life.

"Main Town, if I want to build a city wall around our village, will the government stop it?"

Mr. Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of surprise, "Miss, what do you say? You want to build the city wall?"

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Building a city wall is not an easy task. It requires a considerable amount of funds. Can you take it out?"

Zhu Ruru said: "I will find a way to fund the funds myself. As long as the government can support it, I agree to let the pirates send me."

"Main Town, can you let me try it? If I successfully build the city wall, I might be able to provide some experience in building the city wall in that time."

Mr. Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Then you can try it, but I have said it in advance, and the government will not provide any financial help."

Seeing that General Cheng Town was in reassurance, Zhu Ruru was very happy and smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, General Cheng Town."

"By the way, General Town, I improved that pill a while ago, and the effect should be better. It also has certain nourishing effects on the body. I will give it to you."

Zhu Ruru took two bottles of medicine and handed it to Cheng Zongzhen.

Mr. Cheng was not polite, and took it with a smile, "thank you Miss Zhu. If Miss Zhu can conquer all the pirates this time, you can send them as you please."

Zhu Ruru thanked me again.

On the way to the dungeon, Meng Huaiyan couldn't help but feel curious and asked Zhu Ruru, "What medicine do you give to Mr. Cheng Town...?
