She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Chapter 522: Chapter 520: Wouldn’t that be chaos? Chapter 522: Chapter 520: Wouldn’t that be chaos? Ye Xinyan calculated that it was approximately sixty li from Clear Water Village to Peach Grove.

Money was a problem, but the biggest issue was whether the court would permit such a method of buying and selling for such a long, narrow strip of land.

Hearing Ye Xinyan’s doubt, Jiang Yifan answered, “There has been no such precedent in the county, and I have sent someone to Yuyuan Prefecture Yamen to inquire, but there is none there either.”

Ye Xinyan raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Jiang Yifan. With no precedent, what was he on about with this wooden railway, speaking as if it was all the rage.

Jiang Yifan looked at Ye Xinyan with a smile, “Do you have to look at me with such eyes? We know to check for precedents before doing something, and naturally, those who come after us might do the same. I’ll set a precedent here for others to follow in the future.”

Ye Xinyan glared at him, opened his mouth, and finally could only nod in agreement, admirably saying, “Hmm, Lord Jiang is bold, and this humble woman is sincerely impressed.” It’s no wonder he dared to follow Jinrong and help him to seize the throne.

“What does Lord Jiang plan to do? How should we deal with this land to make it appropriate?” Ye Xinyan asked.
