Chapter 120 Talk about your business plan

Then he glanced at Song Yun and Song Jiang and went upstairs together.

Shen Xia looked at the waiter next to her and said, "Let's take the dishes we ordered upstairs together."

There were quite a few people in the hall.

Everyone was curious about the backgrounds of Shen Xia and the others.

I was able to dine with the county magistrate.

Because this is just a small county town, the people basically know all the officials and runners in the county government.

We arrived at a private room upstairs. It was neither big nor small.

But the interior is decorated with a bookish atmosphere.

The four treasures of the study are also hung on the wall.

After seeing Gu Zizhan sit down, everyone sat down one after another.

Gu Zizhan must be sitting right above, and Shen Xia is sitting right below, just opposite each other.

To the left of Shen Xia is Song Jiang, and next to Song Jiang is Zheng Jinshu.

To the right of Shen Xia is Song Yun, and next to Song Yun is the teacher.

After sitting down, Song Yun talked to the teacher.

Zheng Jinshu looked at Shen Xia: "What brings you to the county today?"

Shen Xia glanced at Gu Zizhan and said, "Two things. One is to send my fourth brother to the academy. The other is that I made something. Sir Gu, please give it to Sister Gu."

Gu Zizhan looked at Shen Xia: "Well, it's okay."

The Master was listening beside him and was also curious.

I thought Song Yun and Zizhan were familiar with each other, but I didn't expect that his sister and Zizhan were acquaintances.

It's just that we haven't seen each other for many years. How could Zizhan become familiar with this strange woman?

Could it be that the capital has changed a lot during the years I was away?

Judging from the surface meaning, could it be because he is familiar with Zizhan's sister?

When Zheng Jinshu heard that Shen Xia was going to give something to Sister Gu Ziyan, he wanted to take a look. After all, the things Shen Xia took out were not ordinary items.

"What is that? I'm curious. Can I take a look?" Zheng Jinshu asked.

Shen Xia nodded: "You can wait until after dinner, I will send Fourth Brother to the academy first, and then bring the things to the government office."

But at this time Zheng Jinshu wanted to know very much: "What is it, Sister Shen, can you tell me?"

Shen Xia glanced at everyone: "Silk quilt core."

The three people on the opposite side were also very confused when they heard this. What was this?

Looking at their puzzled expressions, Shen Xia explained the origin of this thing and the purpose of the finished product.

Everyone was very interested in what they heard, and it was the first time they heard of a quilt other than cotton.

It sounds like it's very rare and difficult to find, so it should be something high-end and expensive.

But it seems pretty good.

I have only heard of poor people using reeds to make quilt cores.

This is the first time I heard of using silk to make quilt cores.

There are clothes to be made, but they are also very expensive. Silk fabrics are very popular among young ladies in Beijing in summer because they are light and cool.

Gu Zizhan said: "How did you think of doing this?"

When Shen Xia heard this, and since the teacher was also here,

This is the time to create a character.

Shen Xia's eyes turned: "Actually, it's like this. County Magistrate Zheng knows that our family is supplying goods to Tian Xin Zhai. Although the money is not much, it is definitely enough for the expenses of the whole family and their studies."

When Zheng Jinshu heard that although the money was not much, he thought that if he didn't know the price of Tianxinzhai, then forget it, it was just what he knew.

I'm afraid that your meager monthly income is equivalent to two years' income from your position.

Of course, Zheng Jinshu didn't know how much Shen Xia earned from supplying goods in a month, but he thought it should be around 100 or 200 taels.

Shen Xia continued, "But I hear my fourth brother reading a book every day. There's a line in it that says 'One person's wealth is not wealth. Only when everyone is rich is it real wealth.'"

"I just thought, if my family is doing well, what does this matter? Is there anything that can help the villagers become rich?"

Song Yun looked at Shen Xia Husou seriously.

"Didn't I hear from Lord Gu last time that the harvest was not good? If the people have extra income, then even if God doesn't give them food, they won't starve to death due to low grain production."

Then she looked at the teacher with an expectant look and said, "Originally, only my fourth brother was studying in our family, but now that conditions are better, we plan to send our two younger brothers to study as well."

"If people's income is higher, will they also let their children go to school? Then the number of educated people in our village will increase because of the higher income."

“No longer will those children who are gifted in studying be unable to study because of lack of money.”

As soon as these words were uttered, it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Shen Xia looked at them seriously, with a determined light in her eyes: "I hope our village can get better and better, and everyone can live a good life."

She paused, then continued, "Moreover, if the children can study, they may be able to pass the imperial examinations and become scholars or jinshi in the future. Not only will they have a bright future, but they will also bring honor to the village."

When the people at the table heard this, they were stunned. They stared with wide eyes, their faces full of surprise, as if they couldn't believe what they heard.

Especially the Master, a hint of shock and admiration flashed in his eyes.

He had never thought that a little girl could say such thoughtful words, which opened his eyes.

It turns out that Sister Song Yun actually has such a big picture, it really is... People from the same family stick together! The Master sighed.

He secretly sighed in his heart, this vision is really long-term!

Why isn’t he a boy? If he were a boy, he would definitely be a good official who is dedicated to serving the people in the future!

As for why Shen Xia did this, the reason is actually very simple.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Therefore, she wanted to change the fate of the entire village by helping villagers increase their income and cultivating more scholars.

Only in this way can she truly achieve her goal and allow everyone to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Otherwise, you are the only family in the village that can afford to eat delicious food, while your neighbors can only eat coarse food.

Then there will be an opposition.

It’s better to help each other.

The interests are intertwined, and if one suffers, all suffer; if one prospers, all prosper.

This way, not only will they not be jealous of you, but they will also hope that you can go further.

In addition, if business wants to develop well, it must be protected by officials. Otherwise, it would be difficult for ordinary people like them to protect it.

If it is small, it is not a problem, but if it is big, it will not work.

Although I didn’t do business in my previous life, it doesn’t affect my understanding of these things!

Everyone has their own social skills!

My own connections are definitely not enough, but Gu Zizhan and Zheng Jinshu are different. They must have business connections.

Why not use it if you can!

Moreover, if people's lives become better, that is also the achievement of the officials.

Song Yun glanced at Shen Xia and thought to himself, I finally understood her little thoughts.

Not bad, with this kind of mind, I shouldn't suffer any loss.

And he knew to keep his eyes open in front of the Master.

I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth just thinking about it.

And Gu Zizhan was thinking: As soon as she turned her eyes, I knew what idea she was thinking of.

But Zheng Jinshu was different: "I didn't expect that Sister Shen, as a woman, is so righteous. I really admire her! Sister Shen, if you need any help, just tell me. I will definitely help you in any way I can."

Shen Xia smiled and said, "Thank you very much, County Magistrate Zheng."

Zheng Jinshu smiled and said, "I will follow Sister Gu and call you Sister Shen. It's too polite for you to call me County Magistrate. Just call me Brother Zheng!"

Shen Xia smiled like a fox: "Then I won't be polite, Brother Zheng."

Zheng Jinshu nodded: "Yes, that's it."
