After being forced to marry by her stepmother, the Koi wife brings prosperity to the whole family

Now that Zhou's shop has grown, she is busier than usual.

When Zhou Ruiyuan came back at night, Du Wanchun took out the base map of Qingzhou Prefecture.

She drew the most suitable places for building official roads and waterways on the map.

Zhou Ruiyuan looked at it and said happily: "Wanchun, did you draw all these?"

Du Wanchun smiled and said: "Yes, look here, several counties have no access. If the roads here are all accessible, we can transport rice to them to sell."

Zhou Ruiyuan nodded lightly, and then slowly said: "These places do need to build roads, but..."

"Lack of silver?" Du Wanchun asked with a smile.

Zhou Ruiyuan slowly put down the map, "That's right."

Du Wanchun turned around and took out the account book from the room, "Although our family is not rich now, we still have money for road construction."

As she said, she directly deducted an account of 10,000 taels of silver from the account book.

Zhou Ruiyuan was stunned, "Are you willing to take out so much silver to build a road for Qingzhou Prefecture?"

Du Wanchun slowly said: "Of course I am willing. Only when this road is built can the people's lives be better. Only when the people's lives are better can our shop have a steady stream of business."

Although she said it was all for her own shop.

But Zhou Ruiyuan knew that she was doing it for his official career.

Paying for the road construction with his own money can not only win the hearts of the people, but also gain a good reputation among the officials in the court. There is no harm to him.

Seeing that he didn't reply, Du Wanchun thought he was reluctant to part with the silver, so she smiled and comforted him, "Husband, don't worry, we can not only earn back the 10,000 taels in the future, but also 30,000 taels and 40,000 taels."

Zhou Ruiyuan reached out and gently held her in his arms, "Thank you, Wanchun."

Du Wanchun smiled and said, "If you really want to thank someone, you should also thank mother. Part of the silver here is the incense made by mother."

Zhou Ruiyuan buried his head in her neck and nodded gently, "After returning to Beijing, you and mother won't have to suffer these hardships anymore."

Du Wanchun replied, "It's not considered suffering. It's good that our family is happy."

Zhou Ruiyuan felt tight in his heart when he heard this, and he hugged her tighter.

The lights in the room of the two of them shone for another night.

The next day, Zhou Ruiyuan took the silver note she gave him back to the county government and began to continue the road construction.

Several official roads had been built in several nearby counties before, and there were many more merchants traveling to Cheng'an County.

This time, if all the official roads drawn by Du Wanchun were repaired, more people would definitely come here.

Road construction takes time, a year at the shortest, and three to five years at the longest.

Zhou Ruiyuan was not in a hurry and arranged this matter slowly.

Wei Xun listened to Zhou Ruiyuan's advice and returned to Beidi with the whip of the princess. He was away for half a year.

Half a year has changed a lot.

Du Wanchun's rice shop opened two more in the two states adjacent to Qingzhou Prefecture.

The perfume in the rouge shop is selling better and better.

Recently, she and Aunt Zhou made an expensive anti-aging cream.

However, ordinary women in Cheng'an County could not afford it, so Du Wanchun sent someone to send the anti-aging cream to Miss Han who was far away in the capital.

Miss Han and Zhou Feng have been married for several months, and the two have a good relationship.

After receiving the anti-aging cream, Miss Han couldn't wait to send it to her boudoir friends.

After this, it was passed to the hands of various noble ladies in the capital.

A few months later, the ladies who had used the anti-aging cream would ask Miss Han where she bought it, and Miss Han would tell them about Du Wanchun's rouge shop.
