Given the current situation, it is not a drop in the bucket, but it is not much better than a drop in the bucket.

They now ship goods to Jiangnan, taking whatever they can get, and selling anything. Various fruits, exquisite carvings, some unique fabrics, and other things are very popular in Jiangnan.

"But our ship will connect to Hainan Island and go to Southeast Asia in the future!"

The second master of the Zhou family thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Miss Zhao, we have considered all of this."

"If you have considered this, then you have underestimated this market. Believe me, the port will be more prosperous than you can imagine in the future! Expand this port fivefold!"

"ah?"

“Five times!”

Everyone in the Zhou and Yan families was shocked.

Zhong Jing was also a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Hansheng. Zhou Hansheng nodded gently. So he smiled and said, "If that's the case, then let's expand. Let's save some space first and we'll talk about it later."

Zhao Liya smiled and said, "You won't regret it in the future, believe me."

Zhou Hansheng: "Since this dock was built by us, Zhong Jing, you must quickly transfer ownership of the dock to the garrison."

There is no guarantee that local officials will not be jealous and want to take advantage of the situation in the future, but it won’t be that easy.

At this time, Zhong Jing took the ownership of the wharf to the garrison. After the court stamped and certified it, the wharf would be under the management of the garrison, and the local officials could not take it away no matter how jealous they were.

This is a top priority.

Zhong Jing quickly agreed.

Zhao Liya added, "Just building a wharf isn't enough. Once our wharf develops, with more and more ships, and attracting more and more merchants and fleets, General Zhong can then talk to the county magistrate about building a road."

"Road construction?"

"Yes, build a wide and convenient official road to connect Guangzhan, Suixi, Gaolian and the provincial capital. Goods from Jiangnan can be quickly transported to the provincial capital, and goods from the provincial capital and other places can also be quickly transported here, loaded onto ships, and sent to Jiangnan. Wouldn't that be better?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, "That's right!", "Great! This will allow us to expand our business, and our Guangzhan Suixi will surely become more and more prosperous!", "That's right!"

They are not Confucian scholars who do not understand economics and only read books of sages. They are all people who started their careers in business and naturally understand the importance of commodity circulation.

The more types of goods that circulate and the faster they circulate, the more money you can naturally make.

There is no official road leading to the provincial capital now, and many sections of the road are extremely rugged, which greatly hinders circulation.

However, even so, even from Guangzhan, which is the farthest from the provincial capital among the three counties, if you speed up your journey, you can reach it in two and a half days.

If there is a wide, flat and more convenient official road, the speed of travel will be faster, which is very important and beneficial for commercial circulation.

When that time really comes, one can imagine how prosperous and bustling the Guangzhan Port will be.

No wonder Miss Zhao said that the port terminal was too small.

Zhong Jing laughed heartily: "This is easy to handle. When they get jealous and want a share of the profits, we can ask them to build the road."

Zhao Liya and the others stayed in Guangzhan for three days.

On the second day, Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng got up early before dawn and agreed to go fishing.

She was very excited when she said it and had mentioned it several times, but when it was time to get up, Zhao Liya yawned so much that she could hardly get up.

Zhou Hansheng found her forced drunken look adorable and said with a smile, "You're so sleepy, why don't you just not go?"

"No!" Zhao Liya immediately became more alert.

The beach you’ve been longing for is right in front of you, how can you not go?

Besides, I'm already up.

Feel the cool breeze in the morning and take a walk, and you will soon feel refreshed.

Zhou Hansheng smiled: "Okay, go. Come, I'll carry you!"

He lowered himself in front of her and suggested warmly and considerately, "You can lie down behind me and close your eyes to refresh yourself and adjust yourself."

It takes about ten minutes to walk to the beach from here.

Zhao Liya was quite tempted, but she was also afraid that she would tire him out, so she hesitated and asked, "Can you do this? Can you walk?"

Zhou Hansheng laughed out of anger: "Come up quickly!"

You can experience it yourself to see if it works.

Zhao Liya smiled, stopped hesitating, and climbed onto his back decisively.

Summer clothes were thin, and the place where they were touching quickly became hot through the thin clothes. The temperature kept rising, and Zhao Liya stiffened slightly. She hugged Zhou Hansheng's neck loosely with her hands and didn't dare to move. Her face gradually became hot.

I feel a little regretful. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let him carry it. As expected, it's not that easy to take advantage!

Zhou Hansheng was also a little distracted, but he didn't feel embarrassed. On the contrary, he felt satisfied and happy. It didn't matter if he couldn't get a wife for the time being, just being able to carry a wife on his back was quite satisfying!

After walking a few steps, he noticed the stiffness of his petite fiancée on his back and couldn't help laughing. Zhou Hansheng then said softly and considerately, "Aren't you sleepy? Sleep on me for a while. We are engaged, family!"

So just lie down and press with confidence, let it bear the weight of your body, there is absolutely no need to worry!

Zhao Liya thought about it and said, yes, they are an engaged couple and family, so why should they be embarrassed?

She curled her lips in a smile, said "hmm", and slowly relaxed her body, lying on his back and closing her eyes.

The cool morning breeze blew on his face and body, but his back was warm and burning, which just neutralized the temperature, neither too hot nor too cold, just right.

When they arrived at the beach, they both felt a little regretful: This journey is too short!

When they arrived at the place, Zhao Liya was unwilling to lie on Zhou Hansheng's back anymore and struggled to get down. It was still dark at this time. Looking at the sea level from afar, the sea was pitch black. At the end where the sea and the sky met, there was a faint hint of light blue that came from the deep dark blue, which was very light.

Under the extremely pale sky, one can only see a line of white crests as the waves wash onto the beach, but it inexplicably makes people feel gentle.

Zhao Liya was now in high spirits. She raised her hand to smooth her hair that was messed up by the wind. Her eyes sparkled and her brows relaxed. "So beautiful!"

It was well worth getting up early for this trip.

Zhou Hansheng smiled and said, "We can stay here for a few more days."

"Yeah!" Zhao Liya smiled and said, "There will be many opportunities in the future! If one day I can bring my parents and Xiang'er along, that would be even more fun. They'll definitely love it."

Zhou Hansheng wasn't particularly pleased with their presence. Today, he hadn't allowed anyone else to come along. It was just him and Zhao Liya. Zhao Nan and the others who helped carry the buckets and nets had already brought their belongings over, put them away, and then disappeared. They absolutely weren't allowed to be around as third parties. But of course, he wouldn't object to his fiancée's words, and he agreed with a smile.
