PFC Chapter 108 Expansion
Chapter 108 Expansion
Not to mention that the noble ladies had mixed opinions about Shen Tang, the same was true among the noble ladies.
"As a woman, you should stay at home to take care of your husband and children. In my opinion, although the Ning'an County Marquis has made contributions, he is not doing things properly."
"That's right. Who would want to marry a woman like that? She's hanging out with all sorts of people. How can she be respectable or noble?"
......
Anlehou Mansion.
"When you go to Jiangnan this time, you must do only one thing. If you can't do it well, you don't have to come back!"
Marquis Anle and his wife spoke harshly to their son.
"Oh, I know, I know. It's just to please Shen Tang! She's just a country girl who has never seen the world."
"What a country girl! If you can please her and marry her, our mansion will prosper for three generations!"
Marquis Anle lowered his voice.
"Don't take it lightly. Besides you, your father and I have inquired and found that many families have sent their nephews and nieces to Jiangnan. You better be careful!"
When Marquis Anle saw his son like this, he felt a surge of anger.
"Don't talk about your son. If the father is useless, the son will just take after his father."
Lady Anle Hou rolled her eyes.
"Who do you think I'm doing this for? It's for our Marquis' Mansion!"
......
There are many noble families in the capital, some of whom hold real power, such as the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Dingyuan; some of whom rely on their ancestral foundation, but actually have no ability or prospects and can only maintain superficial glory.
There are many such families.
After the emperor issued the decree, many families became interested.
However, because Shen Tang has caught the emperor's eye, they dare not openly target Shen Tang, so they can only let the younger generations in the family who have nothing to do go to Jiangnan.
Firstly, he wanted to see if Shen Tang was really a capable person, and secondly, he wanted to make friends with him.
Some families even thought of letting their sons marry Shen Tang directly. As long as they gave birth to a daughter, it would be equivalent to marrying three titles.
Shen Tang didn't know that someone in the capital had this idea. At this time, she was busy planning the planting of fruits in the fields.
The system distributed a lot of seeds. Shen Tang picked out some seeds that could be planted in this season and was busy working in the fields.
Shen Dashan personally gave guidance, and as expected, with the guidance of his father, Shen Tang felt that things went much more smoothly.
The villagers of Shenjia Village have also completed tilling the rice fields.
The temperature in summer is warm, so the rice seeds germinate quickly.
No one has experience in growing late rice, so now every household in Shenjia Village is watching the rice seedlings.
Some people in other villages have also followed Shenjia Village's example in planting late rice, so Shenjia Village has seen more people from other villages visiting in recent days.
Early July.
Shen Tang summoned the village heads of the villages where the workshops were to be built to discuss the matter.
"Everyone, the soap factory is about to begin preparations for construction. I will send people to measure the land in the next few days. The construction will mainly be undertaken by craftsmen from Linjia Village. If the Linjia Village construction team needs young and strong people from this village, they will be selected first from your village."
"But I hope that when you return to the village, the village heads will inform the villagers that while the workers in Linjia Village are building the workshop, children must not be allowed inside the construction area."
Shen Tang sat at the top and talked about matters related to the construction of the workshop, and everyone nodded continuously.
"In addition, after the workshops are completed, Tangji will plan and build a road between the soap workshops."
These words were like a bomb dropped into the water, causing layers of splashes.
"Build a road! Build a road for our village too?"
"Will we also build a road similar to the Renmin Road in Shenjia Village?"
"This road is planned along the roads between the soap factories. So, won't it be built in villages without soap factories?"
......
Everyone suddenly started talking loudly, their eyes fixed on Shen Tang.
God knows how much they envy the wide road in front of Shenjia Village.
Shen Tang knocked on the table lightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"No, this road will extend from Shenjia Village all the way to your villages.
Construction will continue along the upper reaches of the Qingshui River, all the way downstream, until it reaches the last village with a workshop. However, for those villages with workshops, a road will be built leading to the entrance of the workshop.
Everyone understood as soon as they heard it. Even if there was no workshop village, there would be a road in the village before the last workshop.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Shen Tang with sharper eyes.
Not only did she build a workshop in their village, but she also built roads for them. She is clearly a living female Bodhisattva!
Shen Tang picked up the teacup and curled the corners of his mouth.
After the workshop is built, it will inevitably require transportation. However, she thought that after the workshop is built and put into production, the road must also be built. It is best to do both.
"Boss, just tell me when the road will be built, and all the men in Zhaojia Village will be there!"
"My Zhoujia Village is the same!"
After this meeting, when everyone walked out of Shenjia Village, their souls were floating.
He looked at the people of Shenjia Village with even more envy.
Shen Tang had already given Lin Dacheng the instructions long after the expansion of the workshop was completed.
Today, I am in Linjia Village training the villagers on the precautions for building a workshop.
After all, the boss said that Tangji’s future civil engineering and workshop construction would be contracted to Linjia Village.
The entire Linjia Village is now made up of loyal followers of Shen Tang. In other villages, perhaps only a few households grow late rice.
Only in Linjia Village did the entire village plant the crops, leaving no household behind.
Lin Lizheng would go to Shenjia Village to chat with the villagers whenever he had free time.
Therefore, although Linjia Village is far away, the relationship between it and Shenjia Village is indeed the best.
On the banks of the Qingshui River in August, in addition to farmers working in the fields, children from families also go up the mountain together to move small stones and chop firewood.
The stones are used for road construction, and the firewood is used for cooking by the workers who build workshops and roads.
All the villages reached a consensus in almost a short period of time.
The aunts and sisters-in-law from the surrounding villages all came out to help. Those who were strong went to the village entrance, while those who were less strong stayed in the village to pick vegetables and cook.
Everyone was eager for the workshop to be completed as soon as possible.
Originally, those families who did not have a turn to build workshops were very disappointed, but Shen Tang said that they also had a share in the road construction, and if they were still dissatisfied, they would be ungrateful.
The sun in August is also very scorching, but the hearts of the villagers by the Qingshui River are even hotter.
While everyone was working together to build roads and set up workshops, the most lively and important festival of the year also arrived.
Mid-Autumn Festival.
Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Tang stopped work in the workshops and on the roads.
He also gave the workers in the workshop a box of mooncakes bought in Qingshan Town and a basket of high-quality pork belly ordered by Shen Fugui's family.
The entire Shenjia Village was immersed in a strong Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere.
Shen Tang's house was filled with holiday gifts sent by the shopkeepers of various businesses.
