Chapter 226 - 225 Annoyed
Jiang Yifan returned to his seat slowly after Ye Xinyan sat down. Ye Xinyan instantly reverted to her normal state, even apologizing, which left him filled with confusion and compelled him to take several more glances at her.
That’s it? Was she really not considering the railway track as a means to make money? Or was her mind so broad that she could instantly come to terms with the whole situation?
Ye Xinyan subconsciously rubbed her forehead and asked the two people who were staring blankly at her, "Didn’t you say there was another matter? What is it?"
"Oh, it’s about the usage and methodology of the railway track..." Jinrong quickly composed himself and prattled on, trimming down their thoughts before sharing them.
Although Jinrong had already made cuts to his explanation, Ye Xinyan still felt something was amiss. After giving both men a look over several times, she said with full-hearted doubt, "Just clearly state the advantages and disadvantages of using the railway track in the memorial to the court, and the rest will be planned by those specifically tasked with the matter. Why write policy documents? If the court really plans to use the railway track, there are too many things to consider, which can’t be handled just like that."
Jinrong did not expect Ye Xinyan to grasp the crux of the matter so directly, and he was unable to tell her his real intention to claim all the credits for this significant achievement for himself.
"It’s like this," Jinrong carefully chose his words, "This is a matter that requires huge capital, and the majority of people have not witnessed how the railway operates. Attaching detailed implementation documents after the memorial will make the deliberations more persuasive."
Ye Xinyan’s look grew even more doubtful; Jinrong’s explanation couldn’t withstand scrutiny. For him, a prince dedicated to a life of leisure, getting involved in such sensitive transportation affairs was very provocative and unwise.
