    Yanshan Garden, in Jiashu Pavilion.

    "For an official, is that cement? That is clearly a blinding political achievement!" Wang Mengxiang's excited old face turned red.

    "Two Beijing and thirteen provinces, which prefecture or county does not have a big project that cannot be completed? But is this big project so easy to build? It is expensive and risky. The key is that it takes a long time, often several years.  .¡±

    "As time goes by, there are more variables. The most embarrassing thing is that the project is almost finished, and when an order is issued, you have to move space for others. As a result, your hard work has turned into making wedding clothes for others. You said you have  How many officials can make up their mind to do this?"

    "That's right." Wang Shimao nodded with deep understanding.

    "But cement is amazing! It's fast and strong! With it, dreams can become reality, and people can erect shrines! With solid political achievements, who can stop you from getting promoted?" Wang Mengxiang spat again.  .

    "Yeah, yeah." Wang Shimao nodded and said, "I already want to become an official."

    He was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Jiajing reign, but while others were on the gold medal list and enjoyed great glory, he witnessed his father's head being dismembered, and he and his brother Wang Shizhen wept and mourned each other, returning home in mourning.

    After serving the throne, the imperial court granted him many appointments, but he was always discouraged and fearful of his official career.  This time, the eldest brother has gone out to become an official, but he is still staying at home in Yanshan Garden.

    Wang Mengxiang tried to persuade him many times, but Wang Shimao remained indifferent. However, cement inspired him to become an official. The power of this artifact is evident!

    "Then come out!" Wang Mengxiang said overjoyed: "Suzhou Prefect Cai Guoxi and Songjiang Prefect Zhong Zhenji are both your same age, wouldn't it be appropriate to let them recommend you?"

    "Well" Wang Shimao muttered, twisting his beard, "I'll go see them if I have a chance."

    "They will definitely do their best to help you, otherwise they will die on the cement." Wang Mengxiang tilted his head, thinking about it was so beautiful.

    "In less than two years, officials all over the world will understand this. What do you think the situation will be like?"

    "Come on and try to be friends with our Jiangnan Company." Wang Shimao also tilted his head and said, head to head with Wang Mengxiang, both of them so beautiful.  "Who dares to offend us? I'm sorry, cement has nothing to do with you. You can only watch others get promoted, step aside yourself, and have the people poke you in the back and scold you for being incompetent."

    "Hahaha, that's right. As long as the cement is in our hands for a day, officials all over the world will fawn over us!" Wang Mengxiang originally planned to say, "We'll look up to you," but he felt it was too arrogant.

    "So, we have to hold on to our stock." Wang Shimao suddenly felt that everyone in the world would be interested in owning their own shares.

    "No." Wang Mengxiang took a sip of the wine and sighed, "This is how much of a favor Mr. Zhao sold us."

    "Not bad." Wang Shimao agreed.  Zhao Hao had only been in Suzhou for two months, and he had already done so many things. It was obvious that everything had been planned in advance.

    Especially for cement, I don¡¯t know how long it took to research it.

    Even I can see clearly the bright future of cement. With Mr. Zhao¡¯s astonishing business acumen, how could he not be clear about it?

    Although Mr. Zhao sold them shares, it seems like they were given away for free - with the little money and food they paid, they probably wouldn't be able to buy any of them!

    Even if Mr. Zhao wanted to establish an alliance, giving them one percent was more than enough - when he was in Beijing, he gave the ministers and princes shares less than half of this amount.

    But Mr. Zhao generously gave them half a percent, and half a percent to the whole family!

    What does this mean?

    This shows that Mr. Zhao sincerely regards them as his own.  He said, ¡®Let¡¯s all work together to do something great.  ¡¯ is no mere empty talk.

    ??~~

    "When Mr. Zhao was here, he was insinuating things about maritime merchants with me, but I hesitated and talked about him. It was really outrageous." At this thought, Wang Shimao couldn't help but feel ashamed and said:

    "I understand now that Mr. Zhao was hinting to me that he had already figured out all nine of our families. If I haven't dealt with him until now, Mr. Zhao must be alienated from me  "

    Wang Shimao's eyes turned red, and his joy turned into worry.

    "Oh, you blame me for being stupid." Wang Mengxiang also began to reflect.  "At that time, I saw that Mr. Zhao was interested in the sea, but I still advised you to wait for him to speak. It's really selfish."

    "I am actually smart in small things, but when it comes to great wisdom, I am far behind Taishi Hua." As he said this, the look on Lao Wang's face also swelled.Wu Cun sighed and said: "Do you think they have invested more? Not to mention the shares are more than ours, Taishi Hua is the chairman, Hua Boxhen is in charge of the cement factory, and now the Hua family has become Mr. Zhao's right-hand man.  .¡±

    "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Wang Shimao nodded and said repeatedly: "We are indeed lagging behind."

    "It's not too late to make amends." Wang Mengxiang slammed the table and said, "We need to explain to Mr. Zhao as soon as possible, and then ask him what he thinks. If he wants to sit in the seat vacated by the Lu family, we will do our best to help him sit in it!  "

    "Uh" Wang Shimao looked at Wang Mengxiang. After talking about this, he couldn't help but asked: "Isn't the old man also thinking about something?"

    "Hey, hey." Wang Mengxiang blushed. It turns out that no one is blind.  "When fish and bear's paws cannot have both, I am the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paws."

    After speaking, he said expectantly: "Besides, the Eight Families are already in a state of chaos, and the sea is also a mess. We need Mr. Zhao to reestablish the land, water, fire and wind. When I see it, I can have both fish and bear's paws!"

    "Wise!" Wang Shimao praised: "Then let's do it. Let's go to Kunshan tomorrow."

    "The more urgent the matter is, the more time it has to be dealt with." Wang Mengxiang waved his hand and said, "You ran over here without thinking, and you have made Mr. Zhao look down on you. It's better to wait patiently for a few days. We will put together a charter and wait until the embankment is completed by the end of the month.  It¡¯s only appropriate to talk about it when we are congratulating each other.¡±

    "Sure, listen to my uncle." Wang Shimao naturally agreed.

    ??~~

    The good news from Kunshan not only stirred the hearts of dignitaries, but also quickly spread to the ears of the common people.

    Those Kunshan people outside can¡¯t sit still.

    Suzhou City, Taicang Prefecture, Jiading, and Changshu all started a large-scale return wave almost at the same time.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of the floods, the people did not have to eat In fact, most people are self-reliant.

    People in Kunshan are very ingenious. Both men and women are good at spinning and weaving. They are also very hard-working. The boss will accept wages that are deliberately lower than those of the locals. Therefore, it is not difficult for them to find work in the counties of Suzhou where the textile industry is flourishing.

    Many people have settled down in neighboring counties, and some are even second or third generation, but they still join the wave of returning home.

    In order to retain the technical backbone, employers even offered to increase their wages to the same level as local workers for the first time!

    But it still cannot stop this vigorous wave of resignations.

    This surprised the employers and asked them what they thought.

    ¡°In fact, the workers from Kunshan themselves cannot name Ding Mao.  I can only say that when I see others going back, I feel that if I don¡¯t go back, I feel like I¡¯m not a human being.

    ¡°These uneducated Kunshan residents don¡¯t even understand that what attracts them to return home is two words ¨C ¡®hope¡¯.

    After a hundred years, Kunshan finally has hope!  These wandering Kunshan people finally saw hope.

    That¡¯s all.

    ps. The first update of three consecutive updates.  Asking for a monthly ticket!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
