Chapter 139: Rich Businessmen Discuss
This year's Lantern Festival is more lively than last year.
Such a lively and happy day has been a good day for lovers to meet since ancient times.
On the streets, there are many young women and men, meeting in groups of three or four.
The Shen family went out together. Maybe because there were more people or maybe because everyone was stimulated by studying, they were in high spirits.
Shen Yan even guessed a few riddles, so the elders of the Shen family were holding a few exquisite little lanterns in their hands.
Shen Qingqing was particularly happy, and her smile never dropped as she held the lantern.
After returning home, he placed the lantern on the bedside.
In addition to guessing lantern riddles, there are also activities such as lighting lanterns and praying for blessings.
Infected by the atmosphere, Shen Tang also went to the edge of the city to release a river lantern.
Lights fill the river banks, and the river is filled with people's beautiful visions.
Everything goes smoothly and there is no worries. You will always be happy in Chang'an.
After the Lantern Festival, the festive atmosphere gradually fades away, but the spring weather is still chilly.
With the invitation of County Magistrate Lin, Shen Yan has now entered the county school.
Because Shen Tang has always been low-key, not many people know Shen Yan.
Everyone in the Shen family also started to get up early and study.
Shen Tang went back to Shenjia Village, explained the things that the workshop should pay attention to after the beginning of the new year, and then went to Master Lin's house.
After the beginning of the new year, Master Lin suspended teaching at the school and asked his son to take over temporarily.
"I'm sorry I came at an inopportune moment and disturbed the teacher while he was studying."
"It's Yizhi, come in quickly, it's windy outside."
Master Lin thought that Shen Tang had gone to the town and would not be back in the short term, and his face was full of worry.
“Even though I went to the town, I felt nostalgic when I entered the village.”
As Shen Tang spoke, he took out the gift he brought from behind him.
"The teacher will be taking an examination soon in the spring. This inkstone looks good to me. I'll use it for now."
Although Shen Tang couldn't figure out the secret of this inkstone, it looked like a good thing.
Master Li knew that Shen Tang had plenty of good stuff in his hands, so he took it with a smile.
"Only you, this priceless She inkstone, would be so generous as to give it away."
After Master Li took it, he found that it was actually the She inkstone, one of the four famous inkstones.
"This is a good thing, but only those who know the value of it can understand its use. It would be a waste for me, a person who has just learned to write, to have this good thing."
"Master, you will definitely get what you want this time!"
Shen Tang spoke with a smile.
"I hope so."
Shen Tang brought a lot of medicinal herbs and supplements with him this time.
"Although Senior Brother is in better health now, he still needs to take care of himself."
Lin Ze went to the school to teach, and Shen Tang gave the things to Fang and gave her careful instructions.
"If you have any questions, please come to town and tell me."
Fang nodded, feeling that she and her husband were truly lucky.
At the beginning, he accepted such a heavy salary from Liu for the sake of his son's health.
Thinking about it now, I feel so embarrassed.
"There are quite a few students in the school now. If there are any scholars that the master and his wife are familiar with, they can be recommended to come to the school to serve as an enlightenment teacher."
Master Lin was a scholar, so naturally he knew more scholars than she did.
In addition, the children of the farmhands have all gone to school now, so it must be hard for Lin Ze to teach so many by himself.
"Also, if there are any gifted children in the school, whether boys or girls, please let me know so that I can make arrangements."
Master Lin nodded. As a teacher, he naturally appreciated talented people.
After having lunch at Master Li's house, Shen Tang went to the village head's house.
He came to Li Zheng Shen's house for one thing, which was to ask Li Zheng Shen to notify the villagers to go to Shen's house to collect rice seeds in one month.
The people in Shenjia Village were also happy to see Shen Tang return.
When they left, they were still worried that Shen Tang would forget Shenjia Village.
Seeing that Shen Tang was still chatting and laughing with them as before, he couldn't help but feel a little relaxed.
As early as before the New Year, the seeds of the fruit trees had been distributed to each household. Therefore, although there is no need for spring planting now, there are still many villagers on the ridges of the fields.
After explaining things in Shenjia Village, Shen Tang turned back.
"Sister Chuqing, tell Uncle Li to gather some people and plant some flowers and trees along the roadside when he's free."
After the road was built, the two sides of the road were always bare, and I always felt that something was missing when I looked at it.
Shen Li and Shen Dan have now become managers of the workshop and are not with Shen Tang at the moment.
It was already dusk when he returned to the town. Shen Tang sighed and hurried in.
After dinner, Shen Tang wrote a few notes and gave them to Shen Chuanzong.
She will convene a meeting of wealthy businessmen in Qingshan Town in a few days to discuss matters.
That night, Shen Tang's invitation was delivered to the homes of all the prominent families in Qingshan Town.
The families in Qingshan Town have been entrenched in the area for many years and have been dealing with each other for many years.
There are old friends in the business world, as well as long-time competitors.
Shen Tang actually posted a message to gather them all together, and everyone was a little confused.
Some people took advantage of the past few days to exchange information and came to the unanimous conclusion that Shen Tang might simply want to meet everyone.
Linjiangxian is the best and largest restaurant in Qingshan Town. Shen Tang had booked the place a few days ago.
In Qingshan Town, a total of twenty-four families received the post.
Early in the morning, people started to enter the restaurant one after another.
When the time was almost up, Shen Tang slowly came with his men.
Everyone knew that Shen Tang was a young girl, but they were still surprised when they saw her.
This is too young!
However, the aura of Shen Tang is far beyond the reach of an ordinary woman.
Everyone present exchanged glances, and it was Zhou Zhenxiong, the head of the Zhou family, who spoke.
"I haven't congratulated the Marquis on his promotion yet. This meal should be hosted by us. Oh, it's Zhou Zhenxiong from the Zhou family."
Scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, even though the Zhou family is the richest in Qingshan Town and is a well-known wealthy family, they are still inferior to Shen Tang, who is an official.
“It turned out to be Boss Zhou!”
After hearing his introduction, Shen Tang knew who this person was. He was the largest silk boss in Qingshan Town.
Thinking of what he was going to say later, Shen Tang couldn't help but become a little nicer to Zhou Zhenxiong.
After Zhou Zhenxiong spoke, everyone present stood up and introduced themselves.
After a circle, Shen Tang slowly spoke:
"To be honest, I've called you all here today because I have something good that I want to work with you on."
Everyone had a look of suspicion on their faces.
Shen Tang wants to discuss business with them, could it be the soap business?
I heard that in the soap business, almost all the shops that are open are making a fortune every day.
There is no competitor at all, so you can make a fortune every day.
I heard that soap shops are only available in Jiangnan Road and a few other prefectures. Could it be that the Ning'an County Marquis is going to open up distribution to other prefectures?
Thinking of this, some people suddenly became excited.
Before they could open their mouths to ask questions, they heard Shen Tang waving to the maid behind him and taking out a bundle.
"Boss, why don't you take a look at what this is?"
