As soon as Jin Qianqian arrived at the mansion, she immediately asked someone to prepare warm water for a bath.
After walking on the beach for a whole day, her body smelled of sweat and the sea. She couldn't stand it unless she cleaned herself up.
As for the two girls following behind her, "Lixia and the others will serve you here. You should also go down and wash up. You don't need to come and serve us today."
After walking for a day, Lichun and the others were exhausted, so they naturally didn't want to force themselves to walk. "Yes, ma'am."
After her whole body was immersed in the water, Jin Qianqian paddled the water from time to time.
It has been a few months since she came to Lucheng, and everything seems to be slowly getting back on track, but she knows that there is still a long way to go in the future.
As she walked around the various fishing villages today, she had other ideas in mind.
Transportation is very inconvenient nowadays. Even if these fishermen return with a full load, they can only turn their catch into various dried goods.
In this coastal area, dried food is not popular at all. Even in inland areas, there are only a few people who actually eat it, and they only use it occasionally to change the taste, so the price naturally cannot go up.
This is simply like guarding a treasure mountain without getting the treasure.
"If you want to be rich, you have to build roads first!" Thinking of this familiar slogan, Jin Qianqian patted the water, "It's really a life-threatening project."
If it were in later times, it wouldn’t be so difficult.
In ancient times when capabilities and productivity were backward, it was really difficult to build a road.
Otherwise, the national highway near this border town wouldn't be in such dilapidated condition.
Just like when she went to the seaside to look for fishing villages today, she mostly walked in, otherwise she wouldn't have returned home in such a mess.
If this road could be unobstructed, fresh seafood could be delivered to the city in time even in the hot season. In this way, the residents of the city could have more delicious dishes and the fishermen could have more income.
But this matter is not so easy to accomplish, it was just her fantasy.
Building roads can change the current situation of Lucheng, which is a great achievement. She is unwilling to give up just like that.
When night came, the family sat at the dinner table and Jin Qianqian brought up this topic.
Gu Wenheng, "Actually, this is a simple matter, but it can only be carried out after the autumn harvest."
Jin Qianqian's face was full of curiosity.
Gu Wenheng put a piece of mutton into his youngest son's bowl and said, "Don't forget the power of the people.
If the roads are really built, it will be beneficial to them, and the manpower will come naturally. "
Jin Qianqian, "But everyone is busy with their lives, who would be willing to do this for free?"
Gu Wenheng, "Madam, you forgot, there are more soldiers."
Jin Qianqian almost forgot that the common people had to serve as guards for a month every year, which was a kind of corvee labor, mostly doing manual labor such as building palaces, city walls, and rivers.
When they came to this dynasty, they were fleeing from famine.
Afterwards, they were resettled and busy building their homes, and Fu County did not require these villages to serve as night watchmen.
Later on, Gu Wenheng achieved fame and honor, and the Gu brothers had more money in the past two years, so he naturally paid the money to pay off his wages.
"But even if there are people, there will be some expenses during the period?" Jin Qianqian didn't think that the government office could support such expenses with its current situation.
Gu Wenheng, "This is going to be taxed soon. I believe everyone will be willing to pay taxes in exchange for work."
Anyway, the capital now knows the miserable situation here, and doesn't expect to earn much tax from this city of Lu.
I believe that with His Majesty’s wisdom, he would rather see the long-term benefits in the future.
Besides, he had thought about this before, but he didn't expect his wife to find out after just going out for a walk.
"And then there's the issue of the sailors." Jin Qianqian would not hide anything from Gu Wenheng, and would answer any questions immediately. "Do you think General Zhou would be willing to lend a few soldiers who are familiar with water?"
"It's not a big deal," Gu Wenheng immediately took the responsibility, "I'll ask Ah Qi to let them know when the time comes."
"Will it have an impact on General Zhou's plan?" Jin Qianqian knew that although Shangjing had not yet approved the formation of a navy, General Zhou was full of confidence and had already slowly been recruiting his team!
Gu Wenheng: "No problem."
Everyone in the cafeteria is our family, and Gu Wenheng has no intention of revealing too much.
Zhou Shixiong is now prepared, but who knows whether the higher-ups will entrust him with the heavy responsibility of building a navy?
Even if the navy didn't go through his hands, he still wanted to have a trump card in his hand.
After the success he got last time, Zhou Shixiong valued these soldiers who were good at swimming more. After this period of training, their ability to swim should have increased several times.
Jin Qianqian put aside the topic and put another large amount of vegetables into the bowl of Gu Benluo who was eating next to her, "Don't be picky about food."
Gu Benluo had a bitter face. He finally wanted to finish his meal while his parents were chatting, so he left quickly. Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late.
"You should eat more," Gu Wenheng followed with chopsticks. Gu Benluo quietly moved the bowl closer to him. He didn't dare to refute and just focused on working hard!
Gu Wenheng glanced at Gu Bencan and saw that this kid had rice grains all over his food and was still struggling to put food into his mouth.
"Can'er, it's time to catch up on table manners."
Jin Qianqian, "Wait a little longer. He can't even hold the chopsticks steadily. There's not much to be gained from arguing with him."
Gu Wenheng, "...then practice more."
Jin Qianqian glanced at her youngest son's plump body and said, "Why don't we wait a few days? The more you practice, the more you have to eat..."
Gu Wenheng, "..."
Gu Benluo looked up at his brother's chubby little face, pinched his cheeks quietly, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This silly brother is lucky, and it seems that he can escape his father's clutches this time.
Gu Wenheng, "Then ask the nanny not to hold him all the time. Although the backyard is not big, you can let him run around more."
At this time, Gu Benluo could only feel sympathy. His silly brother had just learned to walk, so was he going to start running?
He glanced at Jin Qianqian secretly, hoping that his mother could be more supportive and protect him.
Jin Qianqian, "It's time to run. This child needs to be tougher.
Luo Luo should not stay in the yard all day to learn to read with the teacher. Let the two brothers practice with the martial arts master for a while every day."
In the second month after coming here, Gu Wenheng had already invited another teacher to give Gu Benluo enlightenment.
Good literary talent must be backed by a good body. Jin Qianqian thinks that it is time for both children to start physical exercise.
She doesn't ask them to be both talented in literature and martial arts, but as a mother, she would like to see them in good health.
"That's right." Gu Wenheng naturally wouldn't spoil his child. "When I see Brother Zhou tomorrow, I'll ask him for someone else."
Although the guards and secret guards around him all have a foundation in martial arts, the way they train has little to do with physical fitness.
The situation is different for the families of military generals, as they also have to take care of those who are weaker, and some of their training methods will be much gentler.
