"To get rich, first build roads."
This was a key, proven measure for strengthening the nation and enriching its people.
Building roads required a large workforce, which would solve employment issues in many regions and bring income to some families.
Ji Xiaosong had calculated that, given the nation's current size, it would take at least ten years just to finish building the official roads connecting all the State Mansions.
And that was only for the roads between cities. The paths connecting villages remained untouched and would take many more years to complete.
However, Ji Xiaosong wasn't worried about these matters. Chu Qingyun would handle them.
As the Empress and a role model for all the women in the land, there were a few other things she needed to accomplish.
The first was to establish a women's medical hall.
Most of the medical halls in the nation were run by men, and very few were established exclusively for women.
