Chapter 1155
The next day, Gu Hui went home on leave. Knowing that she was engaged, she felt strange. Was he afraid that she would not agree, so he specifically chose a time when she was not on leave?
Uncle Gu said, ” that’s not the case. The Peng family can’t wait and has their eyes on you, their daughter-in-law.
Gu Hui thought about it and agreed. The Peng family had five grandsons who were at the marriageable age but none of them were engaged. There were also very few girls in kuncheng. Yes, the Peng family must be impatient.
However, Peng ze had been away for a month. Why hadn’t he sent a letter back?
Was the son of the Lord of Nanjiang that powerful?
Every time Gu Hui came back, she would talk about business with her sisters. She could not just let her sisters do the work. She would benefit from it for nothing.
Her younger sisters wanted to give it to her no matter what. They were all sisters, so she couldn’t delay it, so she tried her best to do what she could.
She knew that Gu Xin and the others had not dried the sweet potato starch yet, so she suggested to leave this problem to her.
There were more than a hundred women in the army. Half of them didn’t have parents or relatives, but the other half had families, most of whom were from Dingzhou. Now that the roads were repaired and kun city was developing vigorously, it was possible to bring people over to kun city.
Only people like the Peng family, Gu family, and Princess Jinghe were able to get their women to join the army. The rest were from poor families. The female soldiers of the Peng family even had an income of five taels of silver a month, which could be considered as help.
If she could bring her family over to work for the Gu family, their lives would definitely be better than before.
Therefore, when Gu Hui returned to the camp in the afternoon, she was sure that more than 20 families would be able to come.
The older ones worked in the sweet potato powder factory, and the Gu family had other jobs to do, which were no worse than planting two acres of thin fields at home.
Hearing Gu Hui’s confirmation, Gu Xin said happily, ” “Big sister, the family members of the big Sisters in the camp will definitely be able to live well here. You can help our family farm, so you’ll still have income. Those who knew carpentry could help fourth uncle, and those who knew needlework could go to sister Yumei’s place. The location of the dock in kunzhou was about to be determined. When the time came, he would also need helpers at the dock! Now, the first batch of people who buy a house will have more benefits than in the future. If you want land, you can also spend money to buy one or two mu. It’s definitely cheaper than selling it outside.”
Gu Hui nodded. Wasn’t that what she told her sisters in the Army?
The Gu family now had an embroidery room, a Wine Workshop, a cave dwelling, a wood factory, a Rouge and powder workshop, a paper factory, a restaurant, and an entire snack Street.
Even if all the family members of the military sisters came over, there was no need to be afraid of not having work.
Moreover, Gu shouxin’s new policy was that if people moved to kunzhou, the Yamen would subsidize them. The specific manifestation of the subsidy was that if you bought less than ten mu of land, the price would be lower than that of other state capitals, and you could choose your own place to build your house. The Yamen would not accept this money and would gift you the area of the house built according to the population. Of course, if you had the money, you could buy a new house.
This policy had been pushed out a long time ago. With the previous cement incident, the officials of Dingzhou, the provincial governor closest to kunzhou, had a good relationship with Gu shouxin. As long as kunzhou developed, more people would pass through these two places. At that time, these two places could also be driven up.
