61: Chapter 61: Hot Spring 61: Chapter 61: Hot Spring Smelling the sulfur-laden breath emanating from the other person, Ji Yang’s heart stirred, and he quickly asked, “Do you have hot springs here?”
“Yes, but it’s quite a distance from here.”
After saying this, Wu Mi had already wrapped her arms tightly around Ji Yang’s waist.
Although the girl had learned many things, after all, she hadn’t engaged in any real combat, and now her body trembled.
Ji Yang kissed her on the face and kissed her again before saying, “Alright, it’s settled then, don’t overthink it.”
“So from now on, I’m considered your woman?”
“You could say that.”
Wu Mi immediately became joyful.
“I want to talk about a few things, listen carefully and tell your father to get these things done.”
“That place with the hot springs, if possible, have it marked as your land.
If it becomes mine, it won’t be convenient for others to take baths.”
“Not all of it needs to be marked as yours, just claim a part of it.
Next, you could build a Hot Spring Resort Area there, and you could be the boss.”
Wu Mi’s eyes sparkled even more, and she exclaimed, “Really be the boss?
I’ve heard that means having money.
Also, who would come to our place for a vacation?
They’d have to be crazy to climb mountains to get here.”
“Aren’t you going to listen to me?”
Whatever you say, I’ll listen.
It’s just a land exchange, right?
I’ll talk to my dad and get it sorted.”
“Mhm, we need to act quickly on this.
Don’t worry about not being able to grow crops and not having food to eat.
I’ll take care of your meals.”
“I’ll listen to whatever you say; I will get this done for sure, ensuring we can exchange for as much of that land as possible.”
“Mhm, I want to build a recreational center for the resort, and you’ll be in charge of managing it.”
Wu Mi smiled, her eyebrows curving attractively.
“There’s also the matter of the rice wine from the old hunter, Wu Hu.
I know the recipe, and you need to learn how to brew it as well.
We can sell that at the resort.”
I’ve had the recipe for a while now.
Actually, everyone knows how to brew it.”
“The third thing is buying up local mountain products; the more we can gather, the better.” Chapters first released on novel✶fire.net
“Brother, you can rest assured, everyone is happy to do that.
Just say the word, and people will help look for mountain products.”
Having finished discussing the matters, Ji Yang also felt satisfied.
Although he wasn’t sure of Wu Mi’s capabilities, it wouldn’t hurt for her to help with some things.
He would see what she could accomplish.
If she proved to be very capable, with some development, she might become a significant asset in the future.
“Brother, our bonfire party is an occasion for men and women to meet for dating.
As long as there’s mutual interest, anyone can sneak into the little woods.
You’re not going to fall for another girl and want to go into the woods with them, are you?”
“What are you thinking?
“In any case, you’re the only man for me.
You can’t abandon me.”
“Don’t worry, I definitely want you.
Now, I’ve been away for a long time; I have to go back.
Otherwise, they’ll start looking for me.”
Wu Mi understood that Ji Yang was an official with obligations and said, “Alright, if you want me, I’m available anytime.”
As the two walked towards the party venue, they saw the whole event buzzing with singing and dancing.
Wu Mi pulled Ji Yang to join the dance crowd.
The firelight cast every person in clear relief, and those who could sing well were belting out songs.
At that moment, several young girls approached Ji Yang.
With his handsome looks, Ji Yang naturally attracted attention.
At this time, Chu Shuyuan and the others also started dancing there.
Seeing Ji Yang surrounded by women, Chu Shuyuan called out to him, “Come here for a moment; we have some things to discuss.”
Ji Yang knew what was on her mind, responded with a smile, and the two moved to the outskirts of the area.
Seeing Wu Mi looking over, Ji Yang smiled and waved in that direction.
Wu Mi didn’t overthink it, assuming that Chu Shuyuan, the high-ranking leader, wanted to discuss work with Ji Yang, and she herself went on to dance wildly with her friends.
Let’s find a place to talk about work,” said Chu Shuyuan, looking quite serious.
Ji Yang looked towards the crowd; the few officials who had followed were nowhere to be seen, and nobody had followed them.
Shortly, the two found a quiet place.
After sitting down, Chu Shuyuan said, “I’ve been thinking, we should facilitate the construction of a road here.
After looking into it, if a bridge is built from here, this area can be revitalized.
Even though it’s forested, there’s a lot of resources.
Besides delicacies from the mountains, we could also develop medicinal herb cultivation.”
“Yes, if there’s a road through here, it will benefit not only this area but deeper parts as well.
Many villagers could benefit from it.
Also, there are many villagers scattered in the mountains; we could motivate them to relocate to experience modern society.”
“That plan of yours to move one hundred thousand people out of the mountains and towards poverty alleviation seems excellent.
Next, you can try pushing that here, and I’ll use this place as a pilot.
If it’s successful, it’ll be good for everyone.”
“Yes, I see it that way too, but constructing roads and bridges requires a lot of funds.”
“Don’t worry about the finances.
Just do some necessary preparations.”
As she spoke, Chu Shuyuan glanced around.
Seeing her look, Ji Yang whispered, “What are you thinking?”
