A sea freight trip takes at least two months. "By then it's too late. You use three ships for sea freight, and the remaining ship helps merchants transport goods."
"Don't we still have the Ou family's ships? Can't we have them allocate two ships to transport the goods to Ningzhou?"
Kang Yueran sighed, "We don't do business with Anzhou merchants. The Ou family is also an Anzhou merchant. They only dare not stop the imperial court's cargo ships."
Chu Yun was also very angry. "What kind of thing is this? Stopping the two places from doing business is too..."
Chai Shibo was in a dilemma. "But the court didn't allocate money, so I can only use the interest from sea transportation to build the government office. I even boasted to my father that there would be a surplus by the end of the year."
"If we don't allow the two places to trade, it won't just be the merchants who will suffer, but also the people. I'll pay for the government office. We can tell the public that it was raised by Anzhou merchants. This will compensate the court for some of its losses. How do you think?"

Chai Shibo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I won't regret it. If Father asks about it, I will take responsibility."
