Chapter 817: A clear goal motivates all
" Very well, with Brother Jing keeping an eye on everything we don't have to worry about anything," said Su Wan as she turned to look at Yun Zhao before continuing, " And there is one more thing like you just told me Master Yun, the production of vegetables and fruits are not really great, which is why I will ask you to look for a few mus of land for my family as well.
Even though we have the plan to grow this town by selling seafood we cannot ignore the agriculture aspect either."
" It would be better if we look into the condition of the soil of this town and see what kind of vegetables and fruits can be grown here," Su Wan did not wish to rely on seafood alone because she knew that even though they were living right next to the great ocean, there will be times where the fishermen would not go down in the ocean when that happens they will need a back plan lest they lose their earning source.
" You are right about that madam," when Yun Zhao heard that Su Wan wanted him to look for a few mus of lands he agreed before nodding in all seriousness. " We indeed need to take a look at the agriculture aspect as well." In the past few years, they have been looking for a sustainable crop that would support them but the land here was too saline for them to grow a decent bunch of crops.
Even growing rice was not easy—— many times the crops were ruined and they had to use the ruined crops for themselves instead.
" However, there is no need for you to hurry. You can take a look at the fields slowly because I have to take around as well but if possible, make sure that the construction of the two buildings starts as soon as possible."
" Only after building the mermaid aquarium and hotel will we be able to get a permanent source of income. It is fine if we miss the sowing period of crops but it will be terrible if we were to deal the construction of the hotel and the mermaid aquarium as the livelihood of many citizens of the town would be dependent on it."
If she wanted to lead this entire town and make everyone rich enough by advertising the unique and new things which were founded by her, she needed to make sure that the interest of others would be closely tied to her own. Only then will she be able to bring the lives of those who were living in this town and make a trench for stagnant water to flow?
After thinking long and hard, Su Wan thought of making this place one of the most popular tourist spots. It will be hard but she was confident that she will be able to do it as long as she kept her head clear.
Perhaps one day, this city which was looked down on by the others would become one of the richest cities where people would die to come.
In fact, when she transmigrated to this place all she wanted was to stay in the countryside and live a normal life. Since she was used to overworking in the modern world but ——
Thanks to the imperial concubine Su, she was forced to leave her comfort spot and take on charges which she did not wish to take on. Now she did not know whether to thank that woman or not. If it wasn't for her, Su Wan would have never thought of coming to this place and working so hard.
But now that she had taken on this job, it would be too bad of her if she did not make that woman dance to her tune.
More importantly, when she was coming to this city, she noticed how, many families were living a life which was even worse than beggars as they did not have anything in their hands. Even the clothes that they were wearing were patched to the point where they resembled rags instead of clothes and from what she heard from Yun Zhao many families went without food for days.
Su Wan did not feel good about it.
How can anyone treat their people like this? The magistrates who came earlier might have been befuddled because of money and benefits but Su Wan did not lack any comfort and she did not wish to collect any more comfort either.
She truly wanted to do something good for the people of this town.
Maybe she might not be able to help everyone but as long as they were willing to work hard and did not wish to slack off, Su Wan was sure that she would be able to at least afford everyone three meals a day without any problem.
And now that she had two children, she only wanted to make sure that their lives will be filled with nothing but comforts. As long as she worked hard, her sons will be able to live without any problems even if they were to grow up as good for nothing. But she knew that with parents like her and her husbands, it would be impossible for them to become good for nothing.
With a clear goal in her mind, she was motivated to do her best.
Yun Zhao listened to her and nodded, " I understand, I will take a look at the buildings around the town and choose the best one as soon as possible. After I am done, I will inform Master Jing." He then turned to look at Lin Jing and smiled at him before saying, " Please leave this matter to me, Master Jing. I will make sure to give you satisfactory results."
" I will wait for the good news then, Master Yun," Lin Jing bowed his head in agreement.
The Lin family thought that after clearing everything Yun Zhao would leave but instead, the elderly man cleared his throat and awkwardly said, "Madam Su, is there any extra squid left? If I don't take something so good for my wife and children they will certainly make a fuss."
