Everyone is talking about the Chen family's dowry. Chen Wenhui also received a letter from home. It was written by his parents, and it was written by Mingzhu, a good sister in the capital. In these letters, they all mentioned these glorious dowries of the Chen family.

Chen Wenhui couldn't stop laughing as she looked at the letters. Now it's summer in Qingchun City, and Chen Wenhui's birthday is approaching.

With these letters is a gift that everyone brings to her.

Although Wen Hui is very rich now, she is still very happy to receive the gift, she looked at it one by one, and when she met an interest, she would play with it, but after watching it for a while, she lost her interest, and told Yujin to put these things away well, and picked up the official document and read it.

In Qingchun City, Wen Hui has the final say, so she asked her officials to write official documents, and when reporting materials, they were not allowed to write those concubine essays, nor were they allowed to drop their schoolbags, so they tried to use concise language and vernacular language to tell things completely.

Therefore, now Wen Hui looks at Kumon, and she has the feeling of reading Kumon when she was a white-collar worker in her previous life. It's very comfortable, sometimes, Wen Hui thinks it's not crossing, or sitting in the office building as a white bone spirit.

Wen Hui made a record while reading, and when she finished doing it, and the official document was also reviewed, she said to Yujin: "You go and call the deputy city lord of Wan, I want to talk to her." ”

Yujin hurriedly went outside to call Wan Shuhui. Now the courtyard where Chen Wenhui lives is no longer the simple small cross-courtyard it used to be, but a very large-scale garden. There are pavilions and pavilions in it. Of course, because this garden is the mansion of the city lord, the beauty of the master design of the black family is not something that can be completed in one or two years. Now it's just around the small courtyard where Wen Hui lives, and everything that should be built has been built. The rest are still under construction. Not at all, Wan Shuhui had already arrived, and when she entered the door, she asked, "But after reading the report I wrote, you want to discuss it with me?" ”

Wen Hui smiled and said, "You are really smart, you guessed it at once." You said in your report that the city walls of Qingchun City, as well as the roads in the city, and the drainage facilities under the city have been repaired. Even the roads outside the city that connect some large farms have been repaired. So. You want to build roads to the other three cities, don't you? ”

Wan Shuhui sat down and said, "Yes." Although we now do business and contact with those three cities, we all rely on sea ships. But I still think that the sea boat is slower, and it is more convenient to land it. Besides, there isn't much left of the natives after our two years of fighting, but I still think it's safe to be safe. It's better to build a few roads. In this way, we can better watch and help each other. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Did you mention this matter when you attended the Four Cities Conference last month? What do they say? ”

Wan Shuhui said: "Of course, they all agreed to build interconnected roads. Among them, the people of the black family were a little worried, saying that it might be difficult to build this road, after all, there are many mountain roads. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "This is a big project. It's bigger than building a city wall. It's not something that can be done in three or five years. ”

Wan Shuhui said: "But surprisingly, those people in Tongren City are very much in favor of building roads. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little surprised and said: "I thought it was my second brother who wanted to build the road the most?" Where did you think that a few cousins in Tongren City were so in favor of building roads? What do the people of the black family say, they are authoritative in this regard. We don't know much about the technical aspects. ”

Wan Shuhui said: "The people of the Hei family said that if they really want to build roads. It's not impossible, it's just that it's expensive and time-consuming. However, once the road is built, the economic benefits are still very objective. Not to mention, our four cities now have millions of residents, and these people will be able to account for one-third of the entire income if they have any business generated by each other. What a growth point. So the people of the black family are still in favor of building roads. So the result of the final discussion is that the masters of the black family go back and plan well, and then take out the plan, and discuss it at the four-city meeting this month, this month happens to be the four-city meeting in our Qingchun City, when the time comes, the three city lords will come over, first, to discuss this matter, and second, to congratulate you on the Nanyang Governor. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "What's so good about a loose birthday, is it a thirteenth birthday?" When I was 12 years old last year, they all came to congratulate me. After all, the age of twelve is a big birthday, but this thirteen years old is a scattered birthday, what are you doing with all the fanfare. But they're coming, and we're going to have a good meal. It just so happens that I have something big to discuss with them. ”

Wan Shuhui hurriedly asked, "What's the big deal?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Two big things. One is that the people of our Qingchun City have increased by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and now they have exceeded 200,000 people. If you add those slaves, you can go more than 300,000 people. Now our city has just been built, and we don't feel crowded, but people from Dachu, from the Wa Kingdom, and from the Silla Peninsula are constantly coming, and it won't be long before our city can't be crowded. In addition, because we have a large number of manpower, a large number of livestock, and a large number of advanced tools of the black family, the progress is very fast, and the surrounding land has been cultivated 1230,000 acres of land, and many land estates are far away from the city, which is inconvenient to manage. So, I thought, it's time to build the Acropolis. ”

Wan Shuhui thought for a moment and asked, "Acropolis?" Is it an Acropolis like Shinkojo? Smaller than the main city, and divide the population of the main city to live? An inland city that is not close to the sea? ”

Chen Wenhui nodded.

Wan Shuhui said: "This is true. Actually, last year, when I saw the Acropolis in Shin Kong City, I thought that we should build the Acropolis as well. It's just that this place has already been chosen. By the way, some time ago, you handed over all your official duties to me, and you couldn't even attend the city lord meeting, so you took the master of the black family to check around, just to choose the right place, right? ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes, I have already chosen." I'll show you the map. Yujin, bring the map. ”

Yujin hurriedly took the map and came over. Wan Shuhui looked at it, and Chen Wenhui had already marked three red dots on the map.

Wan Shuhui frowned and said, "You chose these three points." What do you want me to say? One of your three points is on the south side of the city, and that's no problem, it's a deserted place in the first place. One point is in the west, isn't that close to Tianshui City? That's your second brother's territory. There is also this northern acropolis, but it relies on Tongren City. Although all three acropolises are on our territory. But once it is completed and the people move over, then they will surround the city to open up wasteland, plant land, and plant fruit trees, so will it not be opened to the territory of Tianshui City and Tongren City? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "Of course. I've been planning to do this for a long time. Who slowed them down? If you slow down, you will lose territory. Their own city is not yet built. The 100,000 acres of land around the city have not yet been developed, so how can we be prevented from developing the land? In the future, after we occupy the space, they will build it, and if there is no place to build, it doesn't matter, Nanyang is big, I can take them to other places to build a new city. But Luzon can only be like this. I'm fast, there's no way, they can only suffer. Besides, it's not that Guang Tongren City suffers, isn't my second brother also suffering? ”

Wan Shuhui shook her head and said, "Since you have decided so, just do it." Anyway, you are nominally the governor of Nanyang, controlling the four cities of Luzon, and in terms of identity, you are the only girl, their sister and cousin, can they compete with you? This city will be your dowry in the future, and those of them who are brothers only have the reason to add a dowry to you, can they still compete with you for the dowry? It seems that they have suffered this loss. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed. Very proud.

Wan Shuhui said: "However, since we are going to build roads and three acropolises, can we come up with so much money and food and so many people at once?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "You go back in a while, discuss this matter with Qiu Bi and Chen An of the Ministry of Industry, Deputy Director Wu Cheng, and Gui Yuxia to see if the money and food can be transferred." ”

Wan Shuhui nodded and asked, "This construction of the Acropolis is one thing, so what is the second thing?" ”

"I pointed out an archipelago on a chart not far from Luzon. Didn't I send someone on an expedition a long time ago? Now those people are back. Bring back details of those islands. It's a spice island. It produces a very rich spice and is a great treasure trove. Although I took advantage of Tongren City and Tianshui City, I still have benefits for them, and I can't let them suffer in vain. I am going to publish the information about this island, and when the time comes, we will jointly send people to develop this spice island. ”

Wan Shuhui's eyes widened, and she screamed, "Spice Islands? And such a place? I thought it was just a legend? Is there really such a place? Where are the Spice Islands? It's clearly a cornucopia, right? What you say is true? ”

Chen Wenhui sighed and said: "Hey, you are good everywhere, just one, as soon as you hear that you make money, you will be out of control." It's really not a good habit. You say you're so rich now? Why are you so excited? Alone, you have so much money, when will you be able to spend it, it's really sad. ”

Wan Shuhui said: "Don't talk about him left and right, hurry up and tell me what is going on with this spice island, how are you going to develop it?" I'd love to see this treasure trove with my own eyes. In recent years, our Nanyang products can be sold at a good price in Dachu, but what is the most profitable? It's still spices. All the people of Dachu, restaurants, and aristocratic families, all like our Nanyang spices. It's a pity that our production is not good. It has not yet formed a scale, and if there is a treasure trove of spices like this, it will be very profitable. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at Wan Shuhui with a longing look on her face and shook her head. (To be continued)
