GongYimo reached out to pour herself a cup of wine and said casually.
"The so-called official roads are just roads built by the local governor for daily convenience. Many places are very narrow. Not to mention horses, we have to take a detour up and down the mountain when we encounter a mountain. It's extremely inconvenient for transportation. In my opinion, rather than official roads, it's better to call them small roads."
Everyone present listened to her attentively, because as long as it came from her mouth, it was a feasible and important matter that would benefit the country and the people!
Her voice was like heavenly music, and this resplendent hall was now under her command! She continued.
"The official roads are narrow. Even so, it's still enough. However, Dai Yu State has developed for hundreds of years, and the population is increasing. These official roads that meet the daily needs may not be enough in the future! What I want is a road that can be used for commerce! "
Gong Cheng frowned slightly. He thought of the letters from many places, saying that the population was increasing and that they needed to strengthen control.
"What about the national roads that Mo'er mentioned?"
GongYimo smiled, put down her wine cup, and said loudly, "The national roads, as the name suggests, are the roads of a country! In the future, the waterways will be smooth, and the horse farms of the three countries will trade with each other. The domestic transportation of goods will definitely be faster. After all, the faster the transportation, the more profits. Time is money!
However, the further west we go, the harder the road is to travel. Many places even have to take a big detour. Therefore, I want to use the existing foundation of the official roads to widen the roads and reduce the length of the roads by opening up the mountains! I want to use tough means to open up a more convenient road for transportation! "
Gong Cheng finally understood that GongYimo wanted to use a sharp weapon to open up a road! This realization made him sit up slightly, and a wide and flat road suddenly appeared in his mind. If there really was such a road, whether it was transportation or military reports, it would be much more convenient in the future …
Especially the military. Now that the four countries were at peace, it was fine. Once there was a problem, there would be a wide road to deploy troops and seize the opportunity!
But after all, he was still not far-sighted enough. He did not understand the development maxim of the later generations, "If you want to get rich, you have to build roads first!"
In order to control the gap between the rich and the poor from the beginning, this road was imperative. Moreover, it was mainly a horse track now. GongYimo didn't need cement, asphalt, steel bars, and iron mesh, so the project was much simpler.
Gong Cheng pondered for a long time before he finally said.
"You! You've just returned and you're already so worried. I know about this matter. After I discuss it with the ministers, I'll give you an answer! "
GongYimo smiled, "Thank you, Imperial Father! When the time comes, I hope that Imperial Father will allow this son to discuss the matter with me! "
Gong Cheng glared at her, "I can't do without you! Just you wait! "
GongYimo smiled. Anyway, she was not in a hurry. In this life, she still had a lot of time to squander! He was only eighteen years old. It was the age for him to achieve great things!
At this moment, the Empress interrupted, "Mo'er, look at you. How could you be led astray by His Majesty and the others? In any case, you're a girl and you're so beautiful. Let's put these things aside for now!
From tomorrow onwards, you should come with me to hold more banquets and see how the capital's noble ladies play. You should also learn from them and give yourself a good holiday! "
GongYimo lowered her head and smiled, "I'm afraid we won't be able to play together."
After all, she had seen the prosperity of the future. She really didn't care for the playthings of the current women.
The Empress looked at her unhappily, "That won't do. In any case, you're a princess. You're a role model for the capital's noble ladies to learn from! But you're dressed too plainly. Tomorrow, I'll have someone take your measurements and make a few outfits according to the capital's fashion trends. Otherwise, it'll be too unpresentable. "
What else could GongYimo say? She could only sigh, "In that case, many thanks for Imperial Mother's good intentions."
Only then did the Empress nod and begin to serve the meal. The banquet was eaten peacefully and happily. Emperor Gong Cheng liked this kind of harmonious atmosphere more and more. He felt that Mo 'er was their Dai Yu State's lucky star. Not only did she have so many wonderful ideas, but she was also able to make people let go of their grudges and get along with each other more comfortably.
After thirty minutes of drinking, GongYimo was also a little tired, so she got up and bid farewell. Gong Dai originally wanted to send her off, but Emperor Gong Cheng took advantage of the alcohol to discuss some important business matters with him and refused to let her go!
GongYimo winked at him and gloatingly indicated that she didn't want him to send her off. She went to Taiji Palace alone.
Other than the eldest princess's residence outside, Taiji Palace was also her residence. At this time, she had something on her mind and hadn't done it yet.
On the way to Taiji Palace, there was a garden. This garden wasn't big, so not many people usually came here. GongYimo went straight to a big tree and buried the stone that could interfere with people's minds.
After doing all this, she seemed to have put down something and sighed in relief.
"Mo'er?"
GongYimo turned around and found that it was actually Gong Che. After not seeing him for half a year, she still missed this older brother very much.
"Brother Crown Prince?" He seemed to have run over and was still a little out of breath.
When Gong Che saw her, he quickly calmed his breathing and revealed what he thought was his best smile as he walked towards her.
"Mo'er … I missed you so much …"
His words were completely natural, but when he saw that GongYimo was a little stunned, he quickly added.
"Girl, you are becoming more and more wild. You left for half a year, I'm afraid that you have already forgotten about Brother Crown Prince beyond the highest heavens …"
GongYimo quickly smiled. Because she drank a little wine, her face was still a little red. When she smiled, her watery eyes were especially charming under the illumination of the palace lanterns at night.
"Brother Crown Prince, what are you saying? How could I forget you?"
As she spoke, she took out something from her space. It was a jade hairpin. The shape was very sharp and the carving was very simple, but she handed it over with both hands.
"Look, I even specially brought you a gift when I came back! This is a jade hairpin that I personally made. It's made from Lou Ye's unique hard jade. It will look good on you and it can also protect you! "
Gong Che's eyes lit up when he heard this and reached out to take it. He looked at GongYimo with an uncontrollable tenderness, but he was no longer afraid because his illness had completely recovered. When he was aroused, his eyes would no longer turn red. So when he looked at GongYimo, his gaze was scorching and bold.
"It's rare for you to think of me like this …" He felt sweet in his heart and wished that he could pull this lovely person in front of him into his embrace.
But he couldn't. He suppressed it and said in a low voice, "You were gone for so long, did you know that my illness has completely recovered …"
GongYimo's eyes lit up when she heard this. She took a few steps forward and looked at him carefully, "You're really completely recovered? That's really great! "
She was sincerely happy!
Gong Che nodded and used his fingers to gently stroke her hair as if he was tempted. His eyes were burning with love.
"En, everything is fine. All of this … is thanks to you."
