Tiantian, who was following Yan Bao, also recognized the handsome man and shouted, "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
She even jumped up excitedly and reminded Yan Bao: "Aunt, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He must be here to see you. He loves you so much!"
Yan Bao: “….”
Is it too late to cover your mouth now?
Brother Shen, who was a few steps behind: "......"
Things have changed, and I think you finally understand why your remarks were so disastrous when I first started dating your sister-in-law.
It’s retribution!
Xu Zhimo looked at her husband whose mood suddenly changed, wondering what he was gloating about.
They knew that the prince came here, and it was definitely not to look for them.
As someone who had experienced this before, Xu Zhimo pulled the children who were about to board the boat and said to Yan Bao and the others, "I want to go buy some things. You guys can go on the boat by yourselves. We'll take the children with us."
Tiantian didn't want to follow her mother, but Xu Zhimo glared at her. I followed her reluctantly, not forgetting to turn around and say to Yanbao: "Auntie, if you see anything delicious, buy it for me!"
Yan Bao smiled and nodded, watching the family of five leave.
The prince thought to himself that he could finally be alone with Yan Bao.
"Yan Bao!" When the boat docked, Xie Zhiluo stretched out his hand towards Yan Bao, his lips curled up, his eyebrows sharp, his eyes shining brightly, and the light shining in his eyes was so dazzling that Yan Bao couldn't refuse at all.
As soon as the little hand was stretched out, Xie Zhiluo grabbed it. With a little force, Yan Bao got on the boat and stood with Xie Zhiluo.
He was afraid that she would fall, so he held her waist lightly.
Fortunately, it was cold and he was wearing a cloak, which protected him from view, so no one could tell where his big hands were.
Yan Bao raised the corner of his mouth: "Why did you leave the palace?"
"I thought you might come out to play and try your luck. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to see you in a short while." Xie Zhiluo looked at Yan Bao and spoke, his eyes very focused. Being looked at by him like this, it was easy for her heart to beat faster.
There were many people having fun on the shore, and many of them were staring at Yan Bao and the others.
Someone recognized Xie Zhiluo and immediately saluted. When other passers-by saw this, they followed suit. It became quite a big scene.
[Emma, how can we go on a date if this continues? ]
Xie Zhiluo immediately ordered the boat to leave. Ziyun did not act as a third wheel and exchanged a glance with Yan Bao. Ziyun took the red envelope she got this year and went shopping, eating and walking around.
After the boat left, they felt much more at ease without the stares of those people.
Yan Bao saw that Xie Zhiluo had prepared a lot of food. She smiled and took a sip of tea, then asked Xie Zhiluo to sit down. The two of them ate and drank, and soon they leaned against each other, watching the pedestrians on the shore.
This year's lanterns are not much different from previous years, but the people around him make his heart beat faster.
Xie Zhiluo grabbed Yan Bao's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it, saying, "Will it be even more beautiful when the capital is electrified?"
Yan Bao nodded: "More beautiful, brighter, better!"
"That's great. Even if the national treasury is empty, father will build a power station." When Xie Zhiluo mentioned this, Yan Bao asked a lot about the construction of the power station. He also knew that since the construction of the railway, the national treasury has never been empty.
Yan Bao said, "An empty treasury isn't a solution. We can't just keep collecting taxes. Have you ever considered developing commerce?"
Xie Zhiluo: “???”
Yan Bao shared his thoughts with Xie Zhiluo. If you need money, just make some. It is wrong to close the country to the outside world. Everyone knows that Dajin is prosperous anyway, so why not sell Dajin's products and make money from foreigners?
Although the Silk Road is far, it is not without profit.
If the imperial court organized a caravan, it would be larger and more profitable than a merchant caravan.
As for the cost of building a power station, it is definitely not cheap. The emperor will not be the only one using it. There are many corrupt officials in the capital. Once the power station is completed, anyone who wants to move in will have to pay a certain amount of money.
Rich people will definitely be willing to spend this money. After the rich people’s leeks have been harvested, they will spread it to the whole city. In this way, money can be made and the poor people can also benefit.
That's just a few months of usage.
We also need to set a power quota so that poor people can use less electricity and get lower electricity prices.
The royal family, ministers and rich people use electricity more, and the prices are different, and they pay more. The electricity fees can be collected to replenish the national treasury.
The more Xie Zhiluo listened, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but hold Yan Bao's face and kiss her between the eyebrows: "Yan Bao is absolutely right. When I go to court, I will write a memorial to show my father."
Yan Bao raised his eyebrows proudly: "Don't you see who I am!"
[Haha, who can blame me for being so knowledgeable? This is all my life experience from my past life, you can't compare to that.]
Xie Zhiluo: “…”
I really want to visit Yan Bao’s previous life!
Yan Bao refused to kiss her on the eyebrows. They hadn't seen each other for half a month and Yan Bao missed him. He kissed her so hard that she felt dizzy. They stayed together for a long time. The lantern festival was about to end, and then Yan Bao and Xie Zhiluo got off the boat.
Ziyun had been waiting at the dock for a long time. She had eaten so much that her stomach was full. She had eaten everything she wanted.
Seeing Yan Bao, Ziyun went up to him with a smile.
Xie Zhiluo said, "I'll come see you again when I have time."
Brother Shen and the others had gone back a long time ago. The children were tired from playing and fell asleep in the carriage.
After Brother Shen and Tao Yuanyuan closed their stalls, they took a walk around. With Brother Shen accompanying them, they were not afraid of anything happening.
Yan Bao and Xie Zhiluo took a carriage back. Xie Zhiluo watched her go in before leaving!
.......
Civil and military officials did not expect that as soon as the emperor went to court this year, he would drop a big bombshell and say that he wanted to build a power station. Many ministers had never heard of it, but they also knew that this matter must be related to Prime Minister Shen.
A few days ago, Chief Minister Shen went to the palace. Everyone was celebrating the Spring Festival, so it’s not like he didn’t hear the news.
