Chapter 235 Jiang Zuo Mei Lang
Some things are only appreciated when you lose them. After three years of enjoying the benefits and the friendly cooperation of officials, people in Tanzhou City now feel the gap.

Many businesses have already begun to move to Dongyang Prefecture. Everyone knows that even if Shen Qingzhou is not here, this place will still follow his previous rules.

The three-year term of the new prefect has expired. Although he has not made any special political achievements, he has been transferred to another state based on the achievements of the prefecture itself. I heard that he has been appointed as a prefect. This is the difference between having someone and having no one.

The new prefect is still gilded, and this place has become a holy land of gilding. However, only one can leave in three years, so the competition is still fierce. However, those who can come have their own backgrounds and bring some benefits, and everyone cooperates happily.

The previous prefect had no intention of overturning Shen Qingzhou's achievements. There was no need to make a big fuss about it, as Shen Qingzhou was still his superior at the time. The most important point was that Dongyang Prefecture from top to bottom had been kidnapped by the consortium centered on the Shen family business, and they were provided with all kinds of welfare benefits. If they didn't pay money and return their political achievements, they would have to wait and see.

Of course, Tanzhou City is still relatively good compared to other places, but it is different from when Shen Qingzhou was here.

Shen Qingzhou didn't care about their thoughts. Some rules could not be changed in a short time. The workload of managing a county, a prefecture, and a continent in three years was different.

When Shen Qingzhou went to Beijing, Langya Mountain and Langya Pavilion.

"The Shen family business is really generous. They have contracted all the news from Tanzhou to Jinling for my Langya Pavilion for two months, just so that Shen Zheng can go to the imperial capital with peace of mind." A man with a small piece of paper in his hand said.

"Then congratulations, Pavilion Master, for making a big deal." A young man with a weak face coughed and said.

"Then I have to congratulate you as well. On the way to Beijing, Shen Zheng also passed through Jiangzuo. As a partner, you can protect Shen Zheng and ensure that he has no worries in Jiangzuo. Your Jiangzuo League can also gain a lot of benefits from the Shen family business." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"That makes sense. I never thought that the Shen family business could develop from a small remote county into one of the most famous businesses in the world in just seven or eight years," said Mei Changsu.

"There are cleansing soap, glass, and sugar. They can sell to wealthy nobles and ordinary people. It's an exclusive business, and the amount of money it makes is unimaginable." Lin Chen exclaimed.

"And they have a strong military force to protect this exclusive secret recipe, which is getting bigger and bigger. Nowadays, there are countless gangs of masters who are driven and bound by money. If it weren't for the dispersed wealth and many internal secrets, the world's richest man should have to be replaced." Lin Chen said.

"This is because I admire talent. Although I have never been to Dongyang Prefecture, I know that the entire Tanzhou knows who is behind the Shen family business." Mei Changsu said.

"Shen Zheng is indeed extraordinary. He acts for the public good and is truly fair and honest. I have never seen such an official and I admire him very much," said Lin Chen.

"Tanzhou has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes under his leadership. Our Jiangzuo League has not been able to form any power in Tanzhou, and the brothers in the league have a very good impression of Tanzhou, especially Dongyang Prefecture."

"The same is true for Langya Pavilion. Although the land of Tanzhou is not an iron bucket, everything involving Shen Zheng is top secret. It's not that he was not included in the list, but the information is too secretive."

"However, this time when he enters the imperial capital, he may not be able to do the same as before. What a pity." Lin Chen said.

"The Shen family business has developed to a certain stage. Prince Yu and the Crown Prince can no longer wait and are eager to win over the Shen family business, the richest man in the world."

"You can also use this to your advantage. Shen Zheng is too upright in his actions. The imperial capital is not other places. Although he is rumored to have strange martial arts, there are many masters in the imperial capital."

……

Shen Qingzhou walked neither fast nor slow, and he could enjoy the scenery along the way. This outside world was not as good as Tanzhou, which had basically achieved the stage of grand official roads. Especially Dongyang Prefecture, which had taken the lead in building cement roads. This was a decision made by Shen Qingzhou when he was in office, and Dongyang Prefecture was almost completed.

Along the way, I met many elders and fellow villagers who were all heading to Tanzhou. They heard that the welfare in Tanzhou was good and wanted to go there for refuge. Of course, the closer to the imperial capital, the less likely this kind of thing happened.

Of course, the most numerous are the overwhelming caravans. They are really overwhelming. The commodity production sites have all been placed in Tanzhou by Shen Qingzhou, with Dongyang Prefecture as the center. There are no production bases outside, mainly because Shen Qingzhou is afraid that he cannot protect them.

He walked slowly, and many people had already caught up with him. They were all the heads of major businesses. Everyone knew that only by following Shen Zheng could they have food. However, they also knew that Shen Zheng was not a show-off. He just wanted to show up and then quickly go to the imperial capital. Now, the most important thing was to first find out where Shen Qingzhou would live in the imperial capital, and then buy the surrounding houses. This was the most important thing.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go in advance, but mainly because Shen Qingzhou himself doesn’t know where he will be arranged to live. As a third-rank official, the court will arrange a mansion for him.

Although there were only three or four horse-drawn carriages and a dozen people, he knew that he was surrounded by a group of people protecting him, and he did not reject everyone's kindness. After all, only he knew how strong he was.

After some time, he boarded a boat for the first time in this life. There was a section of waterway, which was also the territory of the Jiangzuo League.

The journey was smooth and the sailors all looked quite aloof, but Shen Qingzhou didn't care. After sailing for a day, Shen Qingzhou got tired of the beautiful but unchanging scenery on the sea.

"There will always be a time to ride on the wind and waves, and set sail to cross the vast ocean." With a light chant, a white sail shadow merged into the sail. Then the sailors felt that the speed was much faster. This was because the water direction had changed.

……

"The Shuangsha Gang is on business. The road ahead is blocked." There was a large ship blocking the road, but Shen Qingzhou didn't care. He looked at the sailor, went up to him and said a few words, then let him pass.

"Brother, who is it?"

"One of our own, Lord Shen is here."

"So soon, didn't you say it would take three or four hours?"

"The brothers said that the wind is good today to help."

"That's ahead."

"It's okay. This is the ship of the Shen Family Company. Even the Jiangzuo League would not dare to offend it too much."

After sailing for another half an hour, they suddenly saw something unusual happening ahead: several large ships had stopped moving, there was only a small boat on the opposite side, and a small covered boat in the middle.

"Those people are the servants of the Duke of Qing's Mansion. We arrested our own servants. Do you have to interfere?" Someone on the big ship happened to speak.

Fei Liu behind Mei Changsu was about to make a move, but then he realized something was wrong. A boat was coming. When he saw the sail of the boat, Mei Changsu wondered why it arrived so early.

"Who is it?" The leader of the Shuangsha Gang was furious, but he didn't dare to offend the Jiangzuo League, so he planned to vent his anger.

"Boss, Lord Shen Zheng is crossing the river." A crew member spoke.

"Ji Ying greets Lord Shen. I am honored to pass by my Shuangsha Gang." The gang leader's face changed immediately, which was quite interesting. He was also puzzled as to why he came so quickly. He had planned to find a way to curry favor with the other party so that he could catch up when he returned.

"But Lord Shen Zheng, the governor of Tanzhou, I am escorting an elderly couple to the capital to file a complaint. They have a grievance. I heard that Lord Shen is the next governor of Jingzhao Prefecture. I hope you will have mercy on them."

Zhuo Qingyao said that he originally sent them to Jinling to find Shen Qingzhou to report the case. People said that he was upright and righteous, which was not an exaggeration. Although he was used, he was still upright and admired Shen Qingzhou very much.

"Since this happened, it seems I have to take care of it."
