Chapter 256: Building Yanzhou

On this day, Shen Baiqing was developing a new product in the house, and He Lian came to report it, saying that Zhao Chengshou was looking for it.

In this regard, Shen Baiqing has a clear attitude.

"Isn't the husband here at this time?"

It stands to reason that even if Zhao Chengshou came to find him, he was looking for Su Bowen, and he had nothing to do with him.

"Master Hou is not at the house, he said that he went out to run errands. Zhao Chengshou means that he has something to find his wife. ”

Hearing this, Shen Baiqing was a little surprised, she looked at He Lian and asked.

"Did Zhao Chengshou say what to do with me?"

"I didn't say that."

For this matter, He Lian was also kept in the dark, she just knew that Zhao Chengshou was looking for her, as for what Zhao Chengshou was going to do, she was just a slave, so naturally she didn't know so much.

"Then please ask Zhao Chengshou to come in."

"Yes."

Zhao Chengshou came to the main hall under the leadership of He Lian, Shen Baiqing sat on the top of the head, Zhao Chengshou saw it, and hurriedly saluted Shen Baiqing and said.

"Minister, meet Mrs. Hou."

"Zhao Chengshou don't have to be so polite, get up."

Shen Baiqing naturally knew that Zhao Chengshou was not very loyal to them, but they didn't need Zhao Chengshou to be completely loyal to them, and there were some things that would be good for face.

"Thank you, Mrs. Hou."

Zhao Chengshou got along with Marquis Zhongyong and Mrs. Hou these days, and he felt more and more that Mrs. Zhongyong Marquis was different from the woman next to her, her intelligence was unmatched, and the most important thing was that Mrs. Zhongyong's mind in business was incomparable to others.

"I don't know why Zhao Chengshou came here today."

Shen Baiqing didn't believe that Zhao Chengshou came to find her, she wanted to catch up with herself, you know, she is very popular in Yanzhou now.

Seeing Shen Baiqing asking, Zhao Chengshou answered truthfully.

"Mrs. Hou, now Su Ji in Yanzhou is very popular in Yanzhou, and many restaurants want to cooperate with Mrs. Hou, saying that the drink developed by Mrs. Hou tastes great."

"Why didn't they come in person?"

As soon as Shen Baiqing's words came out, Zhao Chengshou was stunned for a moment, and then reacted and explained.

"Everyone doesn't know what Mrs. Hou's temperament is, so naturally it's not good to bother Mrs. Hou in person."

"And what are they going to do?"

"This ......"

Zhao Chengshou was suddenly asked by Shen Baiqing's words and didn't know what to say, Shen Baiqing thought about it and said.

"In this way, I can sell them some new recipes, and one for a restaurant, but the price will not be low."

"This ...... Mrs. Huihou, this matter still needs to be discussed with those restaurant owners. ”

"Okay, you go back and discuss, you tell them by the way that the Marquis of Zhongyong accepted this silver, and it didn't go into his own pocket, and then the Hou Ye will personally arrange to renovate some of the dilapidated houses in Yanzhou, so that they can be regarded as doing a good deed."

"Yes, I'll go and tell them."

After Zhao Chengshou left, He Lian on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Madam, why do you want to sell the drink recipe that you have worked so hard to develop?"

"If we want to promote Yanzhou's economy, we must first be willing to do it, of course, I know that you must think that the formula is sold, it is not suitable at all, but you must understand that my brain can come up with a new formula, but there are not many opportunities to promote Yanzhou's economic development."

Shen Baiqing has always known what she wants, and because of this, Shen Baiqing doesn't feel that losing the formula is such a great thing.

The next day, Zhao Chengshou came to Shen Baiqing in person, and also brought the owners of the restaurant, and each restaurant bought the right to make a drink from Shen Baiqing, so that the business of Yanzhou Restaurant became better and better.

Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing began to use the money handed over by the restaurant owners to start repairing some dilapidated houses in Yanzhou, and the people were very happy to learn that this was the Marquis Zhongyong personally paid for the houses for the people.

Some houses were in disrepair and could not be inhabited, so Su Bowen ordered someone to rebuild the house.

Suddenly, the people of Yanzhou were full of praise for Su Bowen and Shen Baiqing, but the couple knew that these things were far from enough for Yanzhou's economy, and they had to work harder.

On this day, Su Bowen returned to the house, Shen Baiqing personally cooked the food, and the couple ate together.

Shen Baiqing glanced at Su Bowen and noticed that Su Bowen looked tired, Shen Baiqing felt distressed and said.

"If you're tired, rest tomorrow."

Shen Baiqing knew that Su Bowen had been busy in Yanzhou for the past few days, so that the people could live in a good house.

At the beginning, the money they received from the restaurant owner had already been spent, including Su Ji's profits, which were also used to build a house.

Cai Di personally ordered someone to give Shen Baiqing a year's profit share, and Shen Baiqing added another one million taels, but they knew that it was not easy to renovate all the houses of the people of Yanzhou.

They also deliberately designed it, Shen Baiqing hopes to design the area where the people of Yanzhou live better, whether it is practical or ornamental, this is what they are pursuing.

Seeing that Shen Baiqing cared about himself, Su Bowen shook his head.

"Actually, these things are nothing, I'm just worried that we have always paid for the construction of Yanzhou, and if Your Majesty knows about this, I am afraid that we will suspect that we have too much money in our hands."

As soon as Su Bowen's words came out, Shen Baiqing was also silent, I have to say that Su Bowen's concerns are still somewhat reasonable, Shen Baiqing has also considered this problem before, and he is somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

"What does Nafu-kun mean ......"

"I have investigated Yanzhou these days, although Yanzhou is barren, it is also a difficult life for the common people, but most of the businessmen are living a good life."

"Is the husband planning to ask those businessmen to take some money too?"

"It's probably not easy to get those iron roosters to come up with money, but we can hold a banquet in the mansion, invite these merchants, and mention the donation when the time comes, and think that those merchants can donate some."

"In this way, how much they donate, how much we will subsidize when the time comes, so that those businessmen will pay more for the sake of face."

The more Shen Baiqing thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was very good, and Su Bowen also felt that his wife was smart enough.

In this way, the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion took the initiative to hold a banquet and invited all the officials and businessmen in Yanzhou, and it was not easy for everyone not to go.

At the banquet, Shen Baiqing acted with Su Bowen, and those businessmen didn't take money for a while, they didn't take money, they didn't take more money, they didn't take less, in short, they were all entangled.

In the end, Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen received a lot of silver, which was enough for them to continue to build two streets.

It's just that those businessmen are suffering, but Shen Baiqing is also worthy of those businessmen, and sets the names of those businessmen as the names of the people's residences.

Giving a name to each area is also a way to balance the minds of the merchants.

However, the merchants in Yanzhou were completely aware that Su Bowen and his wife were plague gods, so everyone tried to avoid intersecting with the Zhongyong Marquis and his wife, for fear that it would cause unnecessary trouble at that time.
