After his daydreaming ended, Gu Shouxin got down to business.

His intention was to choose another location in Kunzhou to build a city.

Kunzhou is such a large area that it can't just have one city, Kuncheng. Since the beginning of this year, when their family started the food street and restaurants, more and more merchants have been flocking here.

Some large merchants don't need to stay here themselves, only leaving some managers. But over time, they also have families.

Those who sold themselves into slavery said that since it was someone else's child, they had no say in the matter. But the owners of those employment relationships didn't take responsibility for their families. Someone had asked Gu Shouxin before if they could build a house in the city.

Gu Shouxin planned the urban area and felt that it would be inappropriate to build houses in Kuncheng again, so he decided to build another city instead.

Since they currently have cement, they can try the urban system Cai Xiaolian mentioned and rebuild an ideal city.

Gu Shouxin had already chosen the location, which was the same place Gu Xin and the others had visited before. Uncle Gu had collaborated with General Peng and spent several months clearing out a considerable amount of land. Uncle Gu had also allocated estates to his daughters, so currently each of the four daughters has her own estate, and they can plant whatever they want.

Gu Shouxin meant that if Your Majesty approved, he would entrust the construction of the new city to his eldest uncle and fourth uncle.

Uncle Gu came here not just to reclaim wasteland and farm, but he also often went to see the public latrines being built in the city.

His favorite thing is farming, but he can do a little bit of everything else. In the past, during the off-season, he would also go with construction teams to build houses for others.

Gu Shouxin was also giving his two brothers a chance. Since the emperor wanted the Gu family to have control over the entire Kuncheng, the Gu family had three sons, and he couldn't be the only one to shoulder the burden!

Moreover, Gu Shouxin was thinking ahead. Now that the emperor had bestowed a title upon the old man, which was usually inherited by the eldest son, Gu Shouxin's uncle should work hard to learn skills so that he could stand on his own in the future. Of course, he could also choose to live a carefree life and raise Gu Ren, just like Xue Qianyu's family. His father knew nothing and was just a spoiled old man, and the family relied on his son for everything.

But Gu Shouxin didn't want to help his older brother with everything before Gu Ren grew up; it would be too much trouble. So he wanted to train his older brother early on.

As for the fourth brother, he felt he was much easier to train than his eldest brother.

Gu Shouxin's plan was to add two more cities to Kunzhou before the twelfth lunar month of next year.

...

After a few days, Uncle Gu's family adapted to life in Kuncheng. With such a large family around, it was easy for them to adjust.

On August 14th, Madam Peng returned to Kuncheng with her entourage, including Peng Ze.

The Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang has not been found; he is nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.

This was Peng Ze's first setback since he began leading troops, and he had a vague feeling that the Prince of Southern Xinjiang was not dead.

Therefore, he planned to return to Kuncheng after the Mid-Autumn Festival and then select another group of naval personnel to infiltrate the Goddess Kingdom of Jinan Kingdom to investigate further.

Didn't Wang Cuishan say that the King of Southern Xinjiang asked him to take the crown prince to the Goddess Kingdom? So he went to those two places to look for him.

Of course, he wasn't that stubborn. He also wrote to Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu, telling them to pay attention to the Southern Frontier, as the prince of the Southern Frontier might return.

At the same time, he also reported to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would issue an arrest warrant and hang the portrait of the Crown Prince of the Southern Frontier throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Don't relax for a moment until you see the body.
