Chapter 278 Getting More Prosperous
On the other hand, Xiao Yuyang, who came to propose marriage almost broke the threshold, and finally married a girl from their village, and lived a peaceful and beautiful life.

Master Wen regretted it a long time ago!
Unfortunately, regret is useless.

Zhong Jing delayed again and again, but he couldn't delay for too long. After all, who can resist Jinshan's temptation!Zhong Jing only secretly thought that it was a fluke. Fortunately, he took the time to run the boat in a low-key manner for so long, and he has already made a lot of money.

Otherwise, you will really lose your life.

Sooner or later, the seaport, wharf and shipping line will have to be shared, and it can no longer be delayed. Zhong Jing did not donate without asking. The magistrate can collect the due fee, but one third must be collected by the garrison.
In short, whether the port or the route is good, it was all built from scratch with the hard work of the garrison and the people. If the local officials want to pick peaches without paying any price, that is a dream.

The county magistrates of Suixi and Guangzhan naturally had to bargain a lot. After several rounds, both sides made concessions and finally reached an agreement.

At this time, even the route to Hainan Island has been opened normally.

With more ships added, the route became more and more busy, and the prices of various local specialty goods immediately rose a wave.

Zhao Liya and Zhong Jing are thriving in their planting and breeding. When it comes to local specialties, who has more of them?

The sales part alone made a lot of money.

Furthermore, no matter how busy this route is, the market in Jiangnan is huge. It is also very convenient to travel from Hangzhou City to other cities in Jiangnan. The supply of goods passing through Lingnan is still in short supply. The price didn't move at all.

With the prosperity of the fleet, Zhao Liya and Zhong Jing each bought [-] mu of land on the pier earlier, wouldn't it come in handy?

All of them are built into large warehouses and leased to merchants. This is a chicken that lays golden eggs!

Whoever saw it was not convinced and praised "Amazing!".

Zhong Jing took the opportunity to lobby the local officials to build an official road leading from Guangzhan to the provincial capital. If the official road is completed, the exchanges between merchants and merchants between the two places will be strengthened, and the circulation of goods will be accelerated. The provincial capital will gather more goods from the Lingnan area. similarly, when goods from Jiangnan arrive in Guangzhan, they can be transported to the provincial capital at a very fast speed.
This is a very beneficial thing!

The county magistrates of Guangzhan, Suixi, and Gaolian were very moved, but worried that the magistrate might not be easy to talk to.

If this matter is to be done, it must be supported by the adults of the mansion, and a part of the money must be allocated.Road construction has always been a major event, but not all can be done by a small county magistrate's office.

Of course, the current garrison has money, but Zhong Jing will definitely not say that he is rich, and he will never spend a penny.The matter of road construction is the matter of the magistrate, so he will not get involved!Even less likely to bleed.

However, he said that he could help communicate with the prefect.

The county magistrates of the three counties were overjoyed and grateful. They owed Zhong Jing another favor.

They don't have many personal relationships with the magistrate. Although they have business contacts, how can the magistrate easily agree to such a thing as money for road construction?

Zhong Jing didn't look for it himself.

At this time, wouldn't Zhao Liya's favor with the magistrate's family come in handy?
Let's say that Zhao Liya and the others saved the young master of the magistrate's family back then, and they didn't mean to repay the magistrate's family.

With the idea of ​​taking care of Chunxi Restaurant, Zhao Liya's restaurant, Mrs. Min asked someone to go to Chunxi Restaurant to order a few dishes for them to bring back.

Unexpectedly, after tasting it, he unexpectedly liked it. Unexpectedly, the dishes of Chunxi Restaurant were so delicious that everyone in the Min family liked them. Those who came here and there did not become regular customers of Chunxi Restaurant.When Zhao Liya and the others came back later, they happened to run into each other again, and Mrs. Min met them.Min Yanqi still remembered them and came up to say hello with a smile on his face.

After that, when Zhao Liya and the others go to the provincial capital from home, they will definitely bring some special products to the Min family. After more than two years, they have developed some friendship.

The seaport and shipping in Guangzhan was developing too fast and the momentum was too great. Many big merchants in the provincial capital had to go there two or three times a month, and prefect Min naturally knew about it.Road construction is indeed a good thing in this way.

After discussing with the staff, Zhifu Min nodded in agreement.

The magistrate’s yamen took part of the money, the counties he passed through took a small part, and the other part was donated by wealthy businessmen.

After all, the road has been repaired, and they are the ones who benefit the most!They have money, who can donate if they are not allowed to donate?
The major wealthy businessmen were not ambiguous at all, and even thousands of hundreds of thousands of them managed to pool almost 10 taels.

The Zhao family also donated 5000 taels.

On behalf of the garrison, Zhong Jing took out 1 taels.

1 taels, a little heartache, although there is no shortage of money now, but it is 1 taels, he secretly decided that he must find a way to make up for it.
When the money is in place, everything else is easy to talk about.

Because they had the idea of ​​building a road two years ago, Zhong Jing and Zhao Liya had already found a reliable person and surveyed the best route in the past two years.

Most sections of this route will be widened and leveled on the original road, and a small part will be re-excavated. The new road will become smoother and have fewer curves.

Zhong Jing presented the blueprint, and the prefect Min sent people to go through the blueprint and found that it was indeed more reasonable, so he ordered to start road construction according to the blueprint.

Countless people started working from different road sections at the same time, and they started working in full swing.

During the road construction period, the traffic was inconvenient, which brought a lot of troubles to the business travelers, but the construction was started at the same time, and the efficiency was extremely high. It was expected to be completed in a short time.

Zhao Liya has the urge to make cement. In fact, this thing is really not difficult to make. Although it can't make the first-class quality cement like modern times, ordinary quality is no problem.No matter what, it was much better than this gravel dirt road.

But after careful consideration, she still gave up.

It's not appropriate to do this now.

Once the cement is born, everyone will see the great value of this thing. The prefect of Min will never dare to hide it, and he must report it to the court, and it will definitely cause a sensation.

Zhao Liya didn't want this kind of result.

Now the Zhao family's reputation in the south of the Five Ridges is enough, and it would be inappropriate to go further away.

Now in the Lingnan area, not to mention her earning money, even her father's school has many students from other places to study.
