In addition to the embroidery workshop and the cosmetics workshop, Cai Xiaolian and the Yang family's furniture factory is also about to begin construction.
The location for the paper mill that Gu Shouxin had asked Gu Nian to work on had been selected, and production had already begun.
The emperor sent a group of people, including those specializing in firing kilns. They arrived in the first month of the lunar calendar, and now everything is ready and firing has begun.
The distillery hasn't opened yet, mainly because the location wasn't chosen well, and Gu Shouxin has been busy.
Gu Shouxin has a lot of brewing recipes, and he has been working on them since Gu Xiaoba was born.
Gu Xin is in charge of the family's accounts, with Gu Si assisting her, so the two sisters are usually quite busy.
Gu Xin and Gu Si were busy until very late that night before they could rest, so the two sisters slept in the same room.
The next morning, the two of them brought up something to Gu Shouxin while they were doing their morning exercise.
“Father, I think Kuncheng can expand eastward. I did some calculations last night, and if the distillery is built, there will definitely be many employees, and they will need places to live! But you don’t allow any more houses to be built in Kuncheng,” Gu Xin said.
"You've already calculated the initial investment? Then tell me, how many people will our distillery need? How much do you expect the population of Kuncheng to increase when the people arrive?" Gu Shouxin had a plan to test Gu Xin.
Gu Xin had done her homework and already had a rough idea of the number.
For example, if they find someone from another state to help, regardless of gender, you can't let them be separated from their families for too long!
The official road from Kuncheng to the capital has now been extended to Qingzhou, thanks to the strong support of the imperial court.
After taking over southern Xinjiang, we can still travel to Kuncheng by waterway.
Gu Shouxin has recently been discussing with General Peng the construction of a dock, but the specific location for the dock has not yet been decided. The river near Kuncheng is either next to Jieyou Pavilion or next to the camp.
Since a dock cannot be built next to the campsite, the only option is next to the Jieyou Pavilion.
This was the same idea as Gu Shouxin and General Peng, but due to recent events, it had not yet been finalized.
Gu Xin gave a number she had calculated, and Gu Shouxin nodded. The number she calculated was about the same as his estimate.
"We do have such plans. Once all the workshops at home are built and there are no problems in the southern border region, we will expand the city!" Gu Shouxin said.
"Dad, everything's alright in the Southern Frontier now, so can Brother Yuanyuan come back? I haven't seen Brother Yuanyuan in so long!" Gu Xin asked again.
"I don't know about that," Gu Shouxin said with a smile. Seeing Gu Xin's visibly dejected expression, he cursed Lu Zheng a hundred times in his heart, and then said, "You can ask your Uncle Peng when you have time. A Yuan is under his management now."
"Okay! I'll go ask in a bit!" Gu Xin suddenly became happy again.
"Father, if it's confirmed that there's no problem in the Southern Frontier, then does that mean we don't need to guard Linshan anymore?" Gu Nian asked again.
Gu Shouxin glanced at Gu Nian. Well, after his youngest daughter was kidnapped, is his eldest daughter going to be kidnapped too?
His heart was utterly broken: "Who knows! Xue Xiaoer is under the Emperor's jurisdiction, so even General Peng probably doesn't know!"
Gu Nian: "..."
Huo Yanyu and Gu Si chuckled to themselves.
Gu Shouxin glared at the two girls: "Sisi, Hanhan, I treat you like my own daughters. You must remember what your second uncle said. Don't be the first to set your sights on anyone else. Whoever is the first to set their sights on someone else loses!"
Huo Yanyu replied, "Okay, Second Uncle!"
