Chapter 255 Request
"Wait a minute, I brought a letter from Princess Nihuang. Now that I have finished my business, I will take my leave." Xia Dong said and left.

She didn't expect that Shen Qingzhou would send her away like this. She didn't understand Shen Qingzhou. Shen Qingzhou hated this kind of thing the most. You can't tell me whether you are willing or not yourself, and you let your best friend tell you, right? Are you testing me? Shen Qingzhou knew very well that even though he had experienced two worlds, the ordinary decades in reality did make him unable to forget some things.

In fact, Xia Dong did nothing wrong, but Shen Qingzhou didn't like it. However, seeing Xia Dong like this, he felt it was quite interesting. She was afraid that he would run away first. She said she would leave first, so it's not shameful, right?

After Xia Dong went out, he realized that Shen Qingzhou was a very bad person. He had originally wanted to try his magical skills.

Shen Qingzhou looked at the letter, which contained an invitation letter. It was for the son-in-law selection conference to be held in three days. There was only one last step left. Was she going to delay it any longer, or was she pretending to be sick these days and waiting for him?

However, these things will not delay Shen Qingzhou from continuing his major infrastructure construction.

Outside the city, work was in full swing. Bags of dusty things were being placed together, and all the roads outside the city had been opened.

A dozen old men in tattered, patched clothes swarmed over when they saw Shen Qingzhou coming.

"Master Shen, are you really going to give me money?"

"Master Shen, is it really fifty copper coins a day?"

"Sir, these are representatives of the nearby villagers. They are either clan leaders or prestigious people. They have all been checked and there are enough people."

"That's good. Let's get started right away. From today, we'll officially begin construction. Sanyang, bring the map over and gather all the business owners. Although these lands outside the city are desolate, I want them to buy them at high prices and invest all of them into construction funds." Shen Qingzhou began to give orders directly in front of a group of people.

Shen Qingzhou was not contributing money to the Daliang treasury. According to his plan, these plots of land would definitely make money. People in later generations all knew that wherever there was planning, there would be prosperity. It was just that there was no such productivity in this era. But when Shen Qingzhou came, there was.

"This is a department store. We've already done the experiment at home, so let's start from here."

"Yes."

A group headed by the Shen family business was eagerly waiting for Shen Qingzhou to assign them tasks, and saw Shen Sanyang coming.

"Third son, what do you think? What does Zhengge say?" said the young man in the lead.

"Here, here, and here. You have to buy them all. Prepare the silver. The master said to buy them all at a high price."

"it is good."

After Shen Sanyang left, some of the newly joined businesses were a little confused. The price was obviously very cheap, but the land was all wasteland and could not be used for farming, so why spend so much money?

However, as soon as the objection was raised, many veterans wanted to give up their places.

In fact, many businesses also know that it is expensive, but over the years, they all know that the actual helmsman of the Shen family business is Shen Qingzhou, and that’s it.

In just one day, all the major businesses that had prepared silver had delivered it to the government office.

It was the first time that the people in the government office saw so much silver, which was all exchanged for the least valuable land. He was worthy of being Lord Shen, raising one million taels of silver in one day.

It's so exaggerated, and this is only a small part of what he collected. Shen Qingzhou has no plan to sell them all.

After many other government offices learned about this, they were very envious, especially the Ministry of Revenue, wondering whether this money would go into the national treasury.

You're overthinking it. Shen Qingzhou picked the right time. All the money was spent on construction. Now, Shen's Cement Company outside the city has begun large-scale production of cement.

Everyone inside and outside Jinling City has been reminded and has prepared a lot of stones and sand, all wanting to get a piece of the pie.

However, the ones who got the biggest bite were always those who were close to the Shen family business. Everyone had nothing to say about this. When paying, they wanted to invest all their property. This was Shen Qingzhou's influence. The prince and his people were greedy for money. They only wanted a million taels of silver for disaster relief. But for Shen Qingzhou now, this amount of money could be easily raised by him. This was the monopoly of the exclusive business.

The inner treasury can make Qing Kingdom a powerful country directly, and it is also possible in this era, and Shen Qingzhou can mobilize all this money, which is scary.

……

"What happened? It seems like everyone in the outer city has become so busy." Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin accompanied Mei Changsu to see the yard. They felt something different while walking on the road, so Yan Yujin asked.

"You don't know, two days ago, the Jinling government issued a notice about some kind of Jinling construction project. Within one day, the desolate and uncultivated land outside the city was sold for a million taels of silver.

Then they want to use the one million taels of silver to buy something called cement, saying it is for road construction. "Xiao Jingrui said.

"One million taels of silver, in one day, what is the value of the wasteland outside the city, who would buy it?"

"Of course it's the Shen family business. Led by the Shen family business, I heard that many people want to continue spending money but can't. They have a share." Xiao Jingrui said.

"Lord Shen is not afraid of being accused of greed," Yan Yujin said.

"What are you afraid of? This silver was not given to him. Instead, he took it out, put it into the warehouse, counted it, and spent it. He didn't handle it. Many people are grateful to him. Otherwise, what value would the wasteland outside the city have?" Xiao Jingrui said.

"What does this mean, Mr. Su, you know a lot."

“Lord Shen’s way of being an official has always been admirable. Starting from Sanyang County, wherever he went, people’s lives were indeed better.

Although I don’t know much about what’s in it, I think it must be valuable.” Mei Changsu said.

He thought to himself that the new material seemed to be the cement. The magistrate of Sanyang County, whom he had helped to get promoted, was still in Dongyang Prefecture. Shen Qingzhou was being promoted quickly, so they had to wait.

I know that in Dongyang Prefecture, there is a popular thing called cement, and it has been paved in many places. It is produced in Shenjia Village.

"Forget about that, let's go quickly, we still have to go see Sister Nihuang tonight."

At this point, Yan Yujin was a little hesitant. Today was the last day for the princess to choose a husband. Princess Nihuang, did you already have someone you loved?

……

"Sir Shen, the princess invites you to this courtyard." As soon as Shen Qingzhou arrived at the princess's mansion, a maid came to invite him.

"Watch out for the sword." Shen Qingzhou had just entered the courtyard when a delicate cry rang out. He looked up and saw Princess Nihuang, fully armed and wearing silver armor, stabbing towards him with a long sword in her hand.

"Why not hide?" But finally she stopped in front of Shen Qingzhou and said, Princess Nihuang.

"There's no need to hide." Shen Qingzhou said.

"You think I won't hurt you."

"That's not the case. It's just that my martial arts are different from ordinary people. Forget it." Shen Qingzhou took a direct step, and Princess Nihuang didn't have time to put away her sword.

"Hold on to the green mountains and never let go." Just as the sword pierced the clothes, the sound of poetry was heard in the air, and the shadow of a large bluestone emerged. Princess Nihuang felt as if she was stabbed on the stone.
