Chapter 239 Construction Begins

I have been sharpening my sword for ten years, but I have never tried it. Today I will show it to you. Who has any grievances?

This swordsman is a projection of cold-bloodedness. Although he only has the power of the eighth rank, with his cold-blooded swordsmanship, he might be able to fight against Princess Nihuang for a few moves. After all, his talent only allows him to do this.

Of course, only he can activate it. However, as the handwriting reflects the personality, if his poems are often viewed by people with extraordinary talents, he may be able to comprehend some sword skills.

However, as he directly covered the word "courage" on this specially written small poem, basically no one would notice it. Of course, there might be accidents, and he was quite looking forward to it.

He was quite optimistic about Zhuo Qingyao. When he met him, Shen Qingzhou could feel that the other party was seriously injured. He acted bravely to help others, and his actions were not his feelings.

He finished writing this poem during his break. Now, with his talent as a Jinshi, doing these things does not take up much time.

"Zhuo Qingyao, this government has granted you a pair of calligraphy. You cannot use it to collude in any way in the name of this government. Otherwise, this government will definitely hold you accountable." Shen Qingzhou said.

Zhuo Qingyao was a little speechless at first, but as Shen Qingzhou's voice became louder and louder, he felt a deep pressure. Shen Qingzhou's tongue was no joke, and it was accompanied by the power of verbal sparring.

"Yes." Zhuo Qingyao took the calligraphy and left the government office.

Outside the government office, Zhuo Qingyao felt something was wrong as soon as he appeared. A group of people dressed in expensive and gorgeous clothes surrounded him.

"Who are you?" Zhuo Qingyao was not afraid. He was also a powerful person. Although he had no fame, he was the son of Zhuo Dingfeng of Tianquan Sword Sect and the future owner of Tianquan Villa. His wife was the daughter of first-rank military marquis Xie Yu and Princess Li Yang, so his status was not low.

"Hero Zhuo, I wonder if you are willing to give Lord Shen's calligraphy to my Wang family business. Hero Zhuo can name any price you want."

"Wang's Company."

"It seems that Zhuo Yingxiong has heard about it. Yes, my Wang family's Wang Tieshan has some business dealings with your Tianquan Villa. That Wang Tieshan is my nephew."

"this."

"Hero Zhuo, it would be better if you give this calligraphy copy to my Zhang family business. I can make an exception and give you ten pieces of Chang'e Flying to the Moon soap from Tianquan Villa."

Zhuo Qingyao was a little dumbfounded. This Chang'e Flying to the Moon Soap, also known as Guanghan Guixiang, was more valuable than gold and extremely hard to come by. Only extremely noble people could use it.

Moreover, the production of this soap was extremely low. Even though his mother-in-law was Princess Li Yang and his father-in-law was a first-rank military marquis, they did not have much of this stuff.

This is not hunger marketing, but this special fragrance. Only when Shen Qingzhou is in a good mood can he occasionally use poetry to stimulate the birth of a batch of people, such as the poem "Ode to Osmanthus". He is not thinking about this.

The production base itself cannot produce this kind of soap. Naturally, scarcity makes things valuable. Anyway, it is advertised that this kind of soap can only be produced in September and October, and is based on a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the village. Only the osmanthus flowers from this tree can make the soap, and it has a refreshing effect. Anyway, just exaggerate it as much as you can.

Some were given to the most noble people, such as those in the palace. Naturally, there were not many left. Although Shen Qingzhou could have as much as he wanted, it depended on whether he was willing to do so. No one dared to urge him.

If these ten pieces of Guanghan Guixiang were given to his wife, she would be able to show off in front of her sisters in the imperial capital. Even if he gave them to his mother-in-law, she would have to go to the palace to show off. If he gave them to the palace, the people above him would be very happy. No one would dislike having too much of this kind of consumables. If he exchanged them for silver, it might seem like he could sell them for a thousand taels of gold. But he could use a piece of soap and a lot of rubbish to sell them.

This was the first thing done by the Shen Family Business Group. Needless to say, the more this was done, the more the powerful and wealthy would like it. No one has ever complained that things that can be divided into different classes are too expensive. In fact, this has become a consumable luxury.

Many people began to use their interests to exchange for the Shen Qingzhou calligraphy in Zhuo Qingyao's hand. The shopkeepers here were all big shots, basically the shopkeepers of the headquarters of major businesses. They knew better the influence of Shen Qingzhou.

If there is this calligraphy, not to mention other things, Shenjia Village will take a closer look and may give more items. This is money. Shen Zheng's influence in Shenjia Village is too great.

"Okay, Zhuo Yingxiong, the calligraphy is now yours, so you can deal with it as you please. We came here, firstly to witness you as a brave warrior who stood up for justice in Zheng'er's eyes, and secondly, to give you some money." A middle-aged man spoke, and the other shopkeepers fell silent.

This is the shopkeeper who came out from Shenjia Village himself. He has absolute authority and has the right to participate in many business shares. Nowadays, except for Zhangjia Village who defected early, the old patriarch and the chief clerk have a good relationship with Shenjia Village and have some prestige. The rest of the businesses are all supported by Shenjia Business.

"Shopkeeper, I cannot accept money from you." Zhuo Qingyao said with a bow.

"Hero Zhuo, there is no need to be so hasty to refuse. Maybe you have never been to Tanzhou. If you have been there, you will know something. We have established a Righteousness Pavilion. If you do righteous things, you can get rewards. Moreover, we have cooperated with the government. Even if you don't accept it now, it will be sent to your mansion later."

"Zhengqi Pavilion?" Zhuo Qingyao had never heard of it. Of course he had never heard of it. This group of people were not fools. They had such a big business, even if they had exclusive products, they would understand after so much experience. They knew Shen Qingzhou's style of doing things. Wherever he went, the Zhengqi Pavilion would be there. It was just a small amount of silver.

A group of shopkeepers left, and Zhuo Qingyao held a silver note in his hand. It contained five thousand taels of silver, which was a considerable sum even for a powerful man like him.

The gift given by the governor of Yuezhou to Prince Yu was about this amount, so you can imagine how valuable it was.

After returning to the villa, Zhuo Qingyao and Zhuo Dingfeng told each other about this matter. The two father and son also expressed their feelings about Shen Qingzhou's influence on the Shen family business.

……

A few days later, Shen Qingzhou went to court in official uniform. This was his first time in this world, but he had done this more than once in the world of Joy of Life, so he had experience.

He stood in the third row and met all the officials and the emperor. Emperor Liang also encouraged him a few words and he also gained a lot of skill points.

[Host contacts Emperor Liang (officials, Crown Prince, Prince Yu) and gains skill points × 24000]

[Skill points: 656900]

The Emperor of Liang contributed 5,000, the Crown Prince and Prince Yu each contributed 3,000, Xia Jiang, Meng Zhi, Xia Dong, and others each contributed 3,000, and all the officials contributed a total of more than 7,000.

I have to say, it is particularly difficult to acquire this skill at the beginning of the second world. [Joy of Life] is definitely a benefit.

Prince Yu tried to win over all the princes, but he treated everyone the same, leaving under the pretext of having something to do. Not to mention, everyone believed this excuse.

Everyone knew that Shen Qingzhou had offended many princes and nobles in less than ten days since he entered the imperial capital. Many gilded children of aristocratic families were driven out of the government office by him, no matter how many people pleaded for him.

In the eyes of others, he seems to be very ignorant, but we can't just kill him for this reason. We can only slowly catch him by the braids.

The Crown Prince and Prince Yu were already prepared to see who could win him over, and both of them felt that Shen Qingzhou's emotional intelligence was too low.

After returning to the mansion, Prince Yu began to inquire about Shen Qingzhou.

"Recently, many mansions around Shen Zheng's mansion have been bought by people from the Shen family's business consortium. Everyone in the imperial capital knows that as long as you live around Shen Qingzhou, you can get rich." Qin Prajna was reporting Shen Qingzhou's current situation to Prince Yu.

"What else did he do?"

"The merchants in the city, with the Shen family merchant as the center, have established a Righteousness Pavilion, which specifically rewards righteous people who have been praised by the government. Many merchants in the imperial capital have actively participated, and they all want to establish a relationship with the Shen family merchant.

In addition, Shen Zheng has invited skilled craftsmen and the Ministry of Works to participate. He wants to build roads and repair some dangerous buildings. He has applied for the first batch of silver from the Ministry of Revenue, and has also received sponsorship from merchants. He has raised 100,000 silver taels, and the amount is still increasing. "

"This guy is really dedicated to the public. Someone has already reported him to me. He took away a hundred taels of silver, was beaten with ten sticks, and was driven out of the government office. He reported to the Ministry of Personnel. That person is the distant nephew of a staff member in the Ministry of Personnel. It's interesting." Prince Yu said.
