Chapter 43: Hangzhou Tour

After leaving the Tang family, Shen Feng's heart was in a mess, and he was at a loss for a while, if the reason for this was probably because he did not fully integrate into this era, he felt that he was still an outsider.

It's really a little narcissistic, maybe the eldest lady has no affection for herself at all, I hope it's just a misunderstanding, Shen Feng secretly laughed bitterly, and went back to his residence.

In the next few days, I didn't see the eldest lady again, Shen Feng's life was missing the eldest lady, and it became a little dull, every morning I went up the mountain to plant cotton, and only returned at night, and my life and rest became three points and one line, watching the cotton seeds sown in the soil, Shen Feng took into account that he was short of funds and lacked sales outlets, unlike modern e-commerce, which can be exported to all parts of the country by opening a shopping mall directly online, so Shen Feng thought of finding someone to invest, and this person must run a cloth business, have his own production workshops and stores, and provide his own core technology, this method is also very popular in modern times, such as Coca-Cola, BMW, KFC, etc。

In this era, most of the cloth weaving in Suzhou and Hangzhou, Shen Feng has heard that there are more rich local textile merchants in Hangzhou, and most of the weavers in Suzhou are also from Hangzhou, but they have left their hometowns to Suzhou.

Shen Feng thought about it carefully, in this world, what he lacked the most was connections, because he was parachuted into this world, and it had not been long since he took root, and he knew very few people, and the most familiar person was the eldest lady.

Thinking that there was no news of the eldest lady suddenly felt a little bored in her heart, the reason why she was bored was only because she had an unrealistic idea in her heart, a person was easy to be cranky in the house, Shen Feng walked from the fishing village to Shengzhou City, walking aimlessly in Shengzhou City, looking at the ancient buildings, the green cloth and silk dress, the clear blue and white sky, I still couldn't believe that I was in such a world, and the hawkers in the noisy market were shouting, Miss Childe was shuttling back and forth, and the immature frolicking sound of children proved that this was a real existence.

Walking through the streets and alleys of Shengzhou City, there has never been such a moment, I have a deep attachment to this Shengzhou City, and I unconsciously came to the gate of the Tang family, resisted the urge to step into this threshold, turned around and left, with complicated feelings until I walked to the gate of Liufu.

Wanzi should be at home at this time, do you want to talk to her about life, talk about how to continue life, Uncle Liu has already soaked his daughter that day - by the way, am I not worried that I have no connections, Uncle Liu may be able to help, thinking of this, Shen Feng walked straight to the courtyard of Liufu.

When passing through the courtyard, I happened to meet the nurse who was polite, and before Shen Feng could speak, the nurse shouted with a big grin: "I see who is coming, it turns out to be Shen Gongzi, is he here to find my young lady this time." ”

Shen Feng wanted to open his mouth to answer, but the nurse had already walked up to Shen Feng in a hurry, took Shen Feng's hand and whispered: "Shen Feng, you have to hurry up for a while, look at you haven't been here for a few days, many eunuch children in the city can come to my young lady, especially that Liu Gongzi, who is very tightly entangled." ”

Shen Feng interrupted with a smile: "I'm looking for your master this time, but when you see a brother who is pursuing your young lady, you can break his leg with a stick." ”

The nurse scolded with a smile: "You meat boy, okay, I still have to go to the market, and the master is in the courtyard pavilion." ”

After saying goodbye to the nurse, Shen Feng came to the courtyard and saw Father Liu sitting alone in the pavilion, holding an ancient book in his hand, and Shen Feng spoke.

"Uncle Liu, it turns out that you are here, let me find it. ”

Father Liu smiled slightly: "Shen Feng, you are here." ”

"Uncle Liu is really a model of a scholar in the world, there is no desire to stop exploring on the way to study and seek knowledge, hey, this is still a history book, reading history makes people gain insight into all things, no wonder Uncle Liu knows all about national affairs. ”

Liu Zongli squinted his eyes and smiled slightly: "For officials, you can't help but read history, estimate the general trend of the world for officials, and benefit the people's livelihood. ”

"When it comes to people's livelihood, Shengzhou City under Uncle Liu's governance is comparable to the two cities of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Shen Feng took the opportunity to give Liu Zongli a sycophant, and also led the topic to the point.

Referring to Suzhou and Hangzhou, Liu Zongli sighed: "There is still a long way to go, Suzhou and Hangzhou are the land of fish and rice, with natural advantages, and the fabric weaving of Dahua is eight or nine times out of ten through Suzhou and Hangzhou." ”

The entertainment industry in Shengzhou City is not bad, Lao Li has to spend dozens of taels a night, Shen Feng skillfully led the topic to Suzhou and Hangzhou, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Liu Zongli asked curiously: "Virtuous nephew, why are you laughing, isn't it right to say it?" ”

Uncle Liu said that the current situation of the weaving industry, but as long as there are new textile raw materials, it will overwhelm the situation of Suzhou and Hangzhou monopolizing weaving. Shen Feng said categorically that it is inevitable that cotton will become the mainstream of textiles, and it is also a historical necessity.

Seeing that Shen Feng said so confidently and out of curiosity, Uncle Liu couldn't help but urge: "What does the virtuous nephew have a high opinion?" ”

"Don't hide it from Uncle Liu, I recently discovered a new crop in Shengzhou, called cotton, which can be used for textiles, which is more suitable for people to wear than the original cloth silk, and the annual output of this raw material is huge, and it can be planted in large quantities. ”

What Shen Feng hasn't said is that cotton must be popular in the whole country, but at the beginning, cotton must be implemented in Shengzhou City first, making Shengzhou City a big family, which can be regarded as Uncle Liu's political achievements, and then cotton must be implemented all over the country, at that time, Shen Feng's cotton is no longer a patent, and Shen Feng did not plan to make cotton his own patent at the beginning, this kind of cash crop, if it is slightly discovered, it can be planted elsewhere, so Shen Feng wants to make a fuss about the style of clothes, this is Shen Feng's plan.

"Seriously, nephew, quick, come with me to see the cotton. Liu Zongli was so excited that he held Shen Feng's hand, about his political achievements and career, he was more excited than anyone else, and he was about to go out in a hurry, Uncle Liu is a politician and a scholar, of course he knows the value of a new cash crop.

"Uncle Liu, the cotton has not bloomed yet, I will take you there when the autumn solstice comes, for the time being, I have a plan here, and I still need your help. Shen Feng stopped Uncle Liu and said.

"Virtuous nephew, although it is said that it is related to the people's livelihood, the old man will definitely do his best to help. Liu Zongli said impassionedly.

Shen Feng said with a light smile: "The implementation of cotton requires a huge production workshop and silk shop outlets all over the country, I-"

Before Shen Feng finished speaking, Liu Zongli interrupted him in surprise and said: "Virtuous nephew, you are going to embarrass my old man, I have been an honest official all my life, with clean sleeves, and I only eat two taels of the state, where do I have the financial resources to support my virtuous nephew." ”

Shen Feng was speechless for a while, looked at his bitter face, and said: "Of course I know that Uncle Liu is an honest official, with clean sleeves and a monthly salary of two taels, but Uncle Liu has a wide range of contacts, so I want to ask Uncle Liu for personal connections and help me introduce a businessman who is engaged in textile business to me, and this person's reputation must be reliable." ”

After going around in such a big circle, Shen Feng finally said the purpose of this trip, he lacked connections, did not know the businessmen who were engaged in textiles, so he had to know people from his side, through referrals, Shen Feng thought about the few people he knew, only Uncle Liu was the most suitable, and Uncle Liu was a person from Hangzhou, who had taken root in Hangzhou for many years, and must know the businessmen who were engaged in textiles.

Shen Feng's cleverness is to closely link this matter with Liu Zongli's political career, so that he can't help if he wants to, but it's not that he won't help if he doesn't give him benefits, it's just that Shen Feng gave him a big gift by the way, and the courtesy is still exchanged, and Uncle Liu will also become a big tree for Shen Feng in the future.

In this way, it was originally an inevitable thing, but Shen Feng not only curried favor with Liu Zongli, but also completed the plan.

When Liu Zongli heard that he would be mistaken, his old face didn't even blush, Shen Feng was thinking that he had learned this cheeky skill from Uncle Liu.

"I do know a businessman who deals in textiles, in Hangzhou, when I was young in Hangzhou, it is easy for her to know, this person has a good reputation and nephew, and I can rest assured. When talking about the businessman, Liu Zongli had an embarrassed look on his face.

"Then I also asked Uncle Liu to repair a letter of introduction, and I rushed to Hangzhou to talk to him in detail three days later. Hearing what Liu Zongli said, Shen Feng couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, and hurriedly urged.

"But she-that's it, leave this matter to the old man," Liu Zongli stopped talking, and finally nodded in agreement.

"That's annoying Uncle Liu. ”

After saying goodbye to Liu Zongli, Shen Feng rushed back to his residence to prepare for a long journey.
