Ye Zi'an thought for a moment and then put away the letter, saying, "Ask the messenger about the situation in the capital tomorrow, and then we'll make plans."
"Okay, I got it." Remembering that Ye Zi'an had recently been preparing to repair dikes and dredge canals, she asked, "Where do you plan to start with the canal digging and river widening?"
Yang Chuxia rarely asked about these things, so her sudden interest made Ye Zi'an take another look at her.
"We'll start by widening the river, then repair the embankments, and finally, depending on the silver at hand, we'll decide on the canal digging."
"What are your thoughts on labor?"
When Ye Zi'an heard her ask this, he was struck with a thought and smiled, "Wife, do you have any ideas? If so, feel free to speak up."
"Didn't we visit Linshan Temple before?"
"Mhm?"
