At least if he returned to Fuxian, he could do some carpentry work, do manual labor, and live in a familiar and comfortable environment.
She knew all of this.
Knowing this, even though she had a way to force him to stay, she still didn't want to put him in a difficult position.
“There’s nothing to be reluctant about. Although Fuxian is quite far from Shengjing, you can always go back if you want to, right?” Brother Sang rubbed her head.
"Um."
“Child, you are different from me. Your life is destined to be extraordinary. I am proud of you and honored by you. Sometimes I just feel sad because I am right beside you, but I can’t help you with anything.” Brother Sang’s eyes reddened as he spoke.
Zheng Quchi pouted, tears falling: "Who said that? With you and my younger sister here, I... I have a home to return to. You are also the strength that keeps me going."
"Alright, you're a grown man now, hurry up and wipe yourself, people will laugh at you if they see this..."
The brother and sister cried and said goodbye all night. When dawn broke, Zheng Quchi had to rush back to Hualin Garden to work. Sometimes she had too much on her shoulders, so she didn't even have time to be sad about parting.
"Brother, when do you plan to go back to Fuxian?"
"In the next few days."
"Then let me set the time, and I'll send someone to escort you."
"good."

Zheng Quchi was depressed for several days because of Brother Sang's departure, until Zhang Qinan brought her some wonderful news.
"Madam General, I have raised the amount of money you requested." Zhang Qinan could not hide her excitement.

"That's right, but this is not Zhang's achievement alone. It was the result of a group of merchants from the south raising funds together. After I sent the message back, my father was deeply moved by the General's wife's righteous act. He not only agreed to the matter without hesitation, but also went to persuade the merchants. They all agreed to jointly undertake the water conservancy project in Cangling County."
After Zhang Qinan finished speaking in one breath, she waited for Zheng Quchi's reaction, but she was obviously too happy and was a little dazed.
"...Although the Kingdom of Ye is beyond saving, look at our country, there are many patriots who are willing to help."
Zhang Qinan was also greatly encouraged: "I didn't expect that people say that merchants are mercenary and only care about profit and not human feelings. But merchants are also human beings, and they also have a passionate heart. Saving the country and the people is not only the responsibility of the court, but also something that every capable person should do."
Zheng Quchi was so moved by what he said that he was almost in tears: "You're absolutely right, Young Master Zhang, you must thank them properly for me."
"Alright, Madam General, you go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll take care of the rest."
"I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Without delay, Zheng Quchi immediately went to coordinate the work of relevant personnel. Such a huge project naturally required the mobilization of state power to gather a large number of soldiers, craftsmen, sailors and prisoners to participate in the construction.
