"If the grain is converted into silver and transported to the capital, it will save on transportation costs, but I'm afraid it will drive up prices."
Su Wanwan looked sharply at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong felt a slight chill run down his spine.
Officials at all levels in the canal transport sector have recently given him many gifts, so it's understandable that he would say a few good words for them.
Did Her Majesty the Empress see through it?

In reality, it's about protecting maritime transport.
