Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Chapter 292 Why was Mr. Enlightenment Zheng Xiaoxiang beaten?

"Imagine again."

When Fang Hengyuan saw this, he knew what Fang Wenxiu was thinking.

He secretly regretted that he had said the wrong thing, and forced a smile and asked:

"Why did you call the manager of the Chamber of Commerce over in such a hurry just now?"

Fang Wenxiu shook his head, took a breath and replied:

"Father, my son and Lord Shen have reached an agreement on cooperation!"

"Master Shen?!"

Fang Hengyuan stood up with a bang, pointed in the direction of Tongan County and asked tremblingly:

"Mr. Shen, the County Magistrate of Tongan County?"

Fang Wenxiu nodded vigorously: "It is Master Shen Zheng!"

Fang Hengyuan was pleasantly surprised. He stepped forward, shook Fang Wenxiu's hand, and asked, "But Lord Shen is willing to let us join the cotton cloth business?!"

"Uh......"

Fang Wenxiu was stunned when he heard this and pulled his hand out of Fang Hengyuan's.

"That's not the case..."

"what?"

Fang Hengyuan felt confused and a little disappointed.

"If it's not the cotton business, then what are we cooperating with Mr. Shen on?"

"Father, let's sit down and talk."

Fang Wenxiu pushed Fang Hengyuan back onto the armchair and said seriously:

"Father, you taught me that there is no need to rush things. Rushing may lead to unexpected changes. It is always better to take things slow and steady."

Fang Hengyuan poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Yes, I am obsessed with my father."

He calmed down and asked, "What kind of cooperation did my son discuss with Lord Shen?"

Fang Wenxiu sat down and said, "The Fang family business will be settled in Tongan County."

"That's a good thing!"

When Fang Hengyuan deliberately did not set his expectations so high, the Fang Company's entry into Tongan County became a surprise.

"My son also thinks it's a good thing."

Fang Wenxiu poured a cup of tea for Fang Hengyuan and recalled: "But this time the merchants settled in is different from the previous ones. Lord Shen gave his son a new idea."

"Oh? What new ideas?"

Fang Hengyuan was also a little curious. Mr. Shen always had new and novel ideas.

"Join us." Fang Wenxiu said.

Fang Hengyuan frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean by 'join'?"

Fang Wenxiu finally had the chance to be his father's "teacher" and picked up Qiao unconsciously.

He smoothed his clothes and stood up with his hands behind his back.

"The so-called franchising is actually very easy to understand..."

But Fang Hengyuan didn't give him a chance to make trouble, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Cough cough..."

After being reprimanded, Fang Wenxiu immediately stopped and told everyone everything he had seen and heard in Tongan County today without leaving out a single word.

"......That's it. Lord Shen is still drafting the contract. I will follow up on it every day and try to open our Fang's business in Tongan County as soon as possible."

Fang Hengyuan couldn't recover for a long time after hearing this.

He tapped the lid of the teapot and sighed, "Young people are formidable, young people are formidable. If Lord Shen were to do business, he would probably be able to create a different world."

Fang Wenxiu disagreed.

"Father, what you said is right. Who would be so stupid as to become a businessman if he is capable of being an official? He is good for nothing except money."

Fang Hengyuan glared angrily:

"Are you still complaining about money? Our status as merchants is not comparable to that of officials, but money can really make the devil work! The reason why we can't make the devil work now is that we don't have enough money! Just like Mr. Shen, when he first arrived in Tongan County, he had no money, so he was timid and short of money when doing things."

Fang Wenxiu knew that it was wrong to put down the bowl and curse, but he still whispered a few words to defend Shen Zheng.

"But Lord Shen is now running Tongan County so well, and it's not relying on money."

Fang Hengyuan actually admires Shen Zheng from the bottom of his heart.

What he said just now was just because he "appreciated talent".

But his son was right. How could he, a lousy businessman, cherish the talents of others? If he told others about it, they would laugh at him.

"Ugh--"

Fang Hengyuan sighed and said, "Before Lord Shen came, our Fang family company was reluctant to settle in Tongan County, thinking it was a thankless task. In just half a year, Tongan County has been completely transformed."

He smiled again and said, "Things in the world change rapidly. Let's focus on the present and make sure we don't lose money. Let's build a good relationship with Lord Shen first. I also hope that she will remember this favor and give us some soup in the future."

Fang Wenxiu frowned and said, "My son thinks so too. Father, please join us later."

Fang Hengyuan nodded and said:

"We can really learn from Lord Shen's idea. If we use this method to promote our Fang family business, it's not a bad idea. But the contract needs to be changed. Tongan County is Tongan County, and other territories are other territories. We can't give up what we shouldn't give up."

Fang Wenxiu's idea coincided with his.

"My son thought so too. I invited the stewards here today. First, I want them to prepare the materials for the renovation of the Tongan County Government Office. Second, I want to implement this matter and give them some information."

"Um......"

Fang Hengyuan looked out the window and nodded slightly.

A black and white bird fluttered twice among the treetops and then disappeared.

......

Tongan County School.

"Master Shen, Master Xu, and Principal Li, I am Wei Jing. I am honored to meet you."

"My name is Zheng Xiaoxiang, I am honored."

Shen Zheng sat in the main seat, and Xu Zhubu and Li Hongmao sat below her.

Xu Zhubu introduced them to her softly, "My Lord, these two are the two Enlightenment Masters I mentioned to you before."

Shen Zheng nodded slightly.

She looked at the older Zheng Xiaoxiang with a little curiosity.

Really like ah.

Like a stern-faced head teacher.

But it’s not about looks, it’s about temperament.

When Shen Zheng saw him, she felt like she was back in junior high school.

She moved slightly and said, "No need to be polite, gentlemen. Please take a seat."

After the two of them sat down, Shen Zheng took the lead in talking to Zheng Xiaoxiang. She asked:

"Mr. Zheng, I heard that you opened a private school in your mansion. Why did you want to come to Tong'an County to teach?"

Zheng Xiaoxiang raised his head and looked at Shen Zheng.

He was a little dark and thin, wearing a coarse cloth suit, his hair was tied up with a linen cloth, and he had a sharp look in his eyes.

He stood up and answered, "In reply to Lord Shen, what I run is called a private school, but in fact it is to help the neighbors take care of their children. But I am stubborn and want to force the children to read and learn to read. When the children cry, their elders feel distressed. Over time, fewer families send their children here."

Shen Zheng nodded.

Without any children to send to him, his "private school" existed in name only.

She looked at Zheng Xiaoxiang's forehead, where there was a big bump, shiny and very eye-catching. After considering it, she couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Zheng, your forehead..."

Zheng Xiaoxiang suddenly laughed, touched the bump on his forehead, and replied:

“They were hit with stones by the students’ family members.”

"Snapped!"

Li Hongmao slammed the table, "Is this really true?!"

He had heard a little about Zheng Xiaoxiang's past. How could someone pick a fight with such a selfless person? !

He asked, "Why did they beat you? What's the grudge?"

Zheng Xiaoxiang smiled again, "What kind of hatred could there be between neighbors? They just had a few arguments."

Shen Zheng felt uncomfortable.
