This mountain is not covered with strange rocks all over, only this side has them.

why?

Because there is a river on the other side of the mountain, the government does not allow private individuals to quarry or cut wood. This was stated when the mountain was sold.

Because there is a river over there, of course they won’t allow it.

However, due to the quarrying activities on this side of the mountain in the early stage, a number of irregular mountain roads have been formed on the mountain, which they noticed when they went up the mountain.

It was just a mess of rocks rolling down, so it couldn't be seen at first glance.

Then, as long as we sort out the rocks, build a roadbed, and then replant vegetation on the mountain, we can not only build a mountain road but also stop the flow of rocks on the mountain.

It can also effectively organize some land for planting.

“The dock…can we build it?”

General Xiaoli was a little bit unbelieving.

“Of course it’s not okay to just say we’re going to build a large port.”

Xiaoyan said: "I'm afraid no one has ever thought of building it."

"The current docks are all built following the natural flow of the water. Therefore, in the early stage we only build a ferry for mooring small boats. Once the road on the mountain is formed, people will naturally walk here and enter the east gate of Shangjing City from here."

"It's just a passing person, I'm afraid..."

"That was the beginning," Qin Qiong smiled.

Xiaoyan also continued: "I've seen that once the road around the mountain is repaired, it will save nearly a day's journey from here to Shangjing City. Our route here is a combination of water and mountain roads, so it's not a military project, it's just a civilian project."

"This way, we won't be controlled by the government. We just repair it bit by bit and let it form naturally. When it takes shape, it will be God's will and will not be criticized."

“Is that so…Okay!”

General Xiaoli suddenly figured it out: "In this way, we can charge the mooring fees at our own dock, and we can also build an inn on the side of the mountain."

"Also, if there is a road here and the scenery here is good, then we can..."

He couldn't think of anything.

"Yes"

Xiaoyan smiled and said, "There are many things we can do here. If we build a road on the mountain, we can plant fruit trees and build a pavilion on it. In spring and summer, this place may become like the royal enclosure outside the city."

"Yes, yes! Of course I can!"

General Xiaoli said happily: "In this way, not only can we arrange for these people here, but we can also make money, right?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I buy it?" Qin Qiong said with a smile.

General Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, he was so excited!

There are many businesses near the royal enclosure outside the city, and without exception, they are all very profitable.

Almost all the businesses there are those of the princes and nobles in the capital city.

I heard that the merchants there are making a fortune!

He couldn't imagine that just because of his mother's kindness, this barren mountain in their hands could be turned into a place like the royal enclosure.

He doesn't understand business.

However, he knew how profitable the docks, the canal transportation, and the inns where the nobles went to relax and eat were.

Especially the dock. He is a general. He knows this very well.

He got a little excited thinking about what this place might look like in the future.

But he turned around and looked at the bare mountain again.

I can’t believe it again.

"This, this mountain, is it okay?"

He asked Xiaoyan carefully.

"Yes, I just checked, that tributary can be widened, and because of the water flow here, it can actually accommodate larger cargo ships. As long as we choose a more creative location when we build the dock, it will be fine," Xiaoyan said.

"and……"

Qin Qiong put down the water bag in his hand and continued: "The mountain road here has been shaped by the quarrying people. We just need to re-plan it."

"The flowing rocks on this mountain... As long as there are trees and grass, there will be no problem. As for the grass and trees..."

Qin Qiong raised his chin and indicated the direction of the mountain.

He continued, “Do you remember the tree over there on this hill?”

General Xiaoli didn't understand.

"In fact, this mountain is not so barren. The reason for all these rocks is that the quarrymen cut them down indiscriminately, and then they ignored it and compressed the land."

"We have to tidy it up so that we can plant trees and grass on the mountain... Just think about it, this mountain is next to water, how can it be a stone mountain?"

"Yes, yes! ... Over there. Over there is Shangjing City!"

General Xiao Li laughed and shouted, "We can...we can do this, we can do it!"

"So, what do we do next?"

He said to Xiaoyan happily.

Xiaoyan turned to look at Qin Qiong.

"What are you looking at? Money, of course."

Qin Qiong tilted his head and smiled, "Now it's time for you to show off your money. This place, plus the future personnel expenses... I'm afraid it won't work without tens of thousands of taels of silver, young master."

General Xiaoyan and Xiaoli stopped smiling all of a sudden.

"... Young Master, you won't tell me that you have no money, right?"

Qin Qiong narrowed his eyes and had a wicked smile on his face.

"You can't do that. Who was so righteous yesterday that he didn't even do something like enslaving others? Then... next, you won't let me down, right?"

“……”Xiao Yan frowned his pretty little face.

"besides……"

Qin Qiong recalled something and said, "From yesterday till now, it was all the money I gave. This was what I and Fengqi had worked so hard to win!"

"You won't just not give it back to us, will you? You're not that kind of person!"

"...You are the kind of person who would give us more to express gratitude for our timely help, right?"

"..."

Xiaoyan looked at Qin Qiong, blinked her star-like eyes, pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Ha!" Qin Qiong finally let out his anger.

"My young master is a man of high moral character and selflessness. I deeply understand this. So... please prepare the following silver as soon as possible... I'm waiting."

Qin Qiong put on a smiling face and said.

"But..." Xiaoyan blinked.

"No buts!"

Qin Qiong's expression changed immediately: "Boss, I only have that little money, you won't refuse to return it to me... Please! I am a salaried worker, a real proletarian! Okay!"

After saying that, Qin Qiong turned around and left.

General Xiaoli knew that this little maid was not a good person.

But I have never seen such an arrogant maid.

Last night, he saw with his own eyes that Xiao Qiong entered the young master's room.

Oh my god! So arrogant!

So impressive.

General Xiaoli looked at the little girl walking away, then looked at the young master sitting there with a sad face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Young Master?..."

"well!……"

The young master shook his head and finally said to General Xiaoli: "It seems that I have to sell my belongings too..."

"..."

They wanted to take another look at the path leading to the capital city.

A servant from the Li Mansion came to see General Li and asked him to go back to the temple, saying that the lady had something to discuss with him.

Since things here cannot be planned in a day or two, the young master and his maid returned to Xuanzhen Temple together.

As soon as he entered the temple, the chief steward of the Li Mansion came to greet him.

He then hurriedly pulled General Xiaoli to the guest room and said that his wife had been waiting for a long time.

It seems like she doesn't want the young master to know.
