The old man smiled nonchalantly: "...It doesn't matter! You go back and report to the prince, I will be the one to sing for you."

Yu Lan secretly raised his thumb: The old man's responsibility is really rare. In comparison, the prince's scope is a bit narrow.

Ye Minchun stood up and bowed his head to the end: "My grandfather served the country and the people, regardless of slander. Minchun is deeply grateful!"

The old man twisted his beard and smiled and said: "These are all my duties. Why do you have to do this? Get up quickly!"

Yulan sat aside thoughtfully: It sounds like King Zhao and Concubine Xiao Huang are very favored. Although the old man has a high prestige, it is not a good thing to offend people in the officialdom. Is there anyone who can do it without offending the emperor?

The royal concubine, what solution is there to get the best of both worlds? Countless images of transporting large cargoes in her previous life flashed through her mind. After all, she had an extra lifetime of experience, and her eyes lit up.

I couldn't help but feel very excited for a moment, and just as I was about to speak, I suddenly remembered that this was an era of extreme inequality between men and women. Isn't it a bit too abrupt for me to rashly get involved in political affairs?

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, the old man couldn't help but smile and said: "Why, Lan'er, do you have anything to say?"

Yulan quickly stood up and lowered her head and replied: "How dare your granddaughter talk nonsense about such important military and political matters?"

The old man smiled and said: "There are no outsiders here tonight. If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it." Ye Minchun thought of the couple she was right with, and nodded to her with an encouraging smile.

Yu Lan smiled horribly: "Since my grandfather said this, Yu Lan is rude. Lan'er actually has a rough idea, which is to bring ships in without dismantling the city gate tower. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds without offending?

Concubine Xiao Huang and Prince Zhao."

The old man and Ye Minchun were shocked at the same time, and both looked in disbelief: "Is this true?"

Yulan lowered his head in embarrassment and said, "It's just an unformed idea. If you can show Yulan a schematic diagram of the city gate, maybe you can know whether it's feasible."

The old lady had all the information here, and soon the eunuch who was waiting behind the old lady found a roll of city gate drawings.

Ye Minchun unfolded the drawings on the long strip. Of course, the drawings at this time could not be compared with the precise modern drawings. However, Yulan saw that the sections of recessed crenellations on the gate tower were consistent with his impression.

I felt a little relieved immediately.

Yulan pointed to the crenellations of the city wall on the map and said: "You can bring ships in from here!"

Ye Minchun frowned and said: "The city wall is so high, how can you raise such a big ship to such a height?"

Yu Lan smiled slightly and asked, "Grandpa, can I lend Yu Lan a pen and paper?"

The old man did not refuse, and a young eunuch spread a piece of rice paper on the long table with great discernment. Yu Lan dipped his pen in ink, and with a few strokes, outlined a wooden shelf with a layer of wooden rails on it.

Then draw the shape of a ship on the wooden rail.

Both the old man and Ye Minchun's eyes lit up.

Yu Lan put down his pen, pointed at the sketch and explained: "You can ask people to set up a wooden frame under the city gate, lay wooden rails on the wooden frame, raise the wooden frame layer by layer, and fix the hull with iron chains. Slowly

Slowly rise..." She frowned delicately, thought for a moment and said: "It will be a bit difficult to move the hull. If you add something to lubricate it, it will be more labor-saving!" She didn't think about what to use to lubricate it for a moment.

He came out and said with a smile: "...This is what I can think of. The specific plan needs to be carefully considered, and it still requires a certain amount of manpower and material resources, but there is no need to demolish the city gate."

The old man and Ye Minchun looked at each other and saw the hope in each other's eyes. The old man said flatly: "I think this method is feasible!"

Ye Minchun slammed the table excitedly: "I will go to the officials at the Ministry of Industry tomorrow to discuss it. They are experienced and will definitely be able to come up with a proper and feasible way to transport the ship according to my cousin's idea."

"Cousin Lan Xinhuizhi is the only one Minchun has ever seen in his life!" Ye Minchun looked at Yulan with a completely different look, filled with deep admiration. He suddenly stood up and bowed deeply and said: "My cousin, these words are for the sake of the country and the country.

The country has saved a lot of money, and it has also solved the current problems for my grandfather and the prince. Min Chun wants to thank you!" He knew the emperor's temperament. The most important thing was that he was soft-hearted and had no ideas. This time the old man refuted this.

It won't take long for the imperial concubine Xiao to blow the whistle, and the emperor will bring up the old matter again. The old man can refute it once or twice, but it is impossible to refute it three or four times, because the emperor is the emperor after all.

The cabinet must maintain its majesty.

Yulan hurriedly moved aside, refusing to accept his courtesy: "My cousin is serious. This is not a great solution. My grandfather and cousin are busy with affairs, so they just didn't think of this solution at the moment. Yulan didn't say much.

Just one sentence as a reminder, no one dares to take credit anywhere!"

The old man took a deep look at Yu Lan and said three good words, "My Yang family is lucky to have a girl like this! You two don't need to be polite to each other. I called Lan'er here today because I originally wanted to ask

You did some other things, but I didn't expect that you accidentally helped us solve such a problem." The old man laughed heartily and seemed very happy. "It's a pity, it's a pity, if Lan'er is a man..." Although the second half of the sentence was not spoken.
