He had an idea and didn't go in. He just stood outside the door to listen to what they thought.
He didn't notice that there was a little tail following him.
Yan Jinbai, relying on his small size and agility, also sneaked in behind him. The officers all knew that he was the son of Yan Sui's family, so no one stopped him.
Little Jinbai came in smoothly.
Xie Wanyun said softly: "The river is blocked."
"Yes, it's blocked. The water is already shallow in winter, and with the siltation, it's impossible for ships to navigate." Cheng Zhi said helplessly.
Xie Wanyun frowned.
Land transportation is feasible, but it relies entirely on animal power, the transportation capacity is too small, and the cost is too high, so it cannot solve the problem.
Suddenly, she looked up at the painting of a peaceful and prosperous sea in the hall, and her eyes lit up! Words burst out of her mouth!
"Master Cheng! Since the river route isn't feasible, let's go by sea! What do you think? Sea vessels have a large carrying capacity, and coming all the way from the south wouldn't be more convenient and faster?"
Cheng Zhi's eyes lit up. Yeah! If one path doesn't work, try another! Why stick to one place? I've been a peace officer for so long that my thinking has become rigid!
He clapped his hands excitedly and sighed, "Miss is right! Seagoing ships can carry more cargo, so there's no need to worry about the river being narrow. It's a good idea! But..."
Shangjing is still some distance away from the seaport, and the Maritime Transport Office has been abandoned in recent years. Taxation and management are all problems that are difficult to solve in a short time.
When Cheng Zhichu heard the suggestion, his head, which had been heated with excitement, calmed down and he couldn't help shaking his head.
Yan Suizhi walked in.
Because the weather was cold and he was afraid of the cold, he wrapped a fox fur cloak over his official robe and put on a fur hat, covering himself tightly. If someone else wore such thick clothes, they would definitely look bloated.
But he was tall and straight, with a long neck, so wearing this kind of clothes actually added a sense of heaviness to his thin body, and revealed a sense of calmness and majesty.
Her face was still as pale as before, but it looked even darker than ink, and her lips were red and sparkling.
"Lord Yan! Why are you here?" Cheng Zhi was shocked and hurried forward to greet him.
Yan Suizhi waved his hand, his dark eyes looking at Xie Wanyun, and said softly, "So Madam Xie is here too."
Xie Wanyun didn't expect to meet him here.
Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this man is really born with a good appearance. If he were a woman, I'm afraid she would be a scourge to the country, right?
He bowed and saluted: "Greetings to Lord Yan."
Yan Suizhi responded softly, "Madam, you're welcome. I heard it clearly from outside just now. Madam's idea is indeed brilliant."
Not only was the idea brilliant, but what made him even more pleased was that he saw that high-spirited and heroic woman again.
He knew that Xie Wanyun was not living a good life after marrying Qin Su'an, and he also heard that she was depressed and sick.
So he went to ask the master to treat her that time. He was attacked, but she saved him in the end.
Fortunately, when he met her recently, he felt that she seemed to be getting better, which made him feel relieved.
Today he was sure that she had really cheered up. She was once again the beautiful and confident daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.
He looked at her with increasingly gentle eyes.
Xie Wanyun felt quite uncomfortable being stared at. Her intuition told her that Yan Suizhi had no ill will towards her and actually had a favorable impression of her. However, remembering what he had done before, she still did not want to have anything to do with him.
Cheng Zhi also felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit unusual.
He coughed lightly, and the two men turned to look at him.
Cheng Zhi hurriedly expressed his concerns. "Lord Yan, the port is still over a hundred miles from Shangjing, and it still relies on animal power. Furthermore, the imperial court has always prohibited sea transport, so how easy would it be to reopen? Even if it were reopened, how would it be managed and how would the tax revenue be determined? These are not things that can be done overnight."
Yan Suizhi's eyes darkened. He had already thought of this problem. But everything has its difficulties. Didn't Xie Wanyun just say that there are always more solutions than problems?
