Moreover, constructing thoroughfares will undoubtedly stimulate business around them, so Lord Jiang could also promise to build shops along the sides of the roads as compensation, thus resolving a large sum of silver."

For Jiang Yifan, this was yet another proposal as stunning as a clap of thunder.
