Of course, Governor Kong immediately explained it to her.
If a place in the south of the Yangtze River is chosen as a companion capital, then this place will be almost a "vice imperial court". Needless to say, the rights and benefits of officials will increase a lot, and the local people will also receive an increase in resources.
Such as fine varieties of glass, porcelain, etc., which are different from the Tang Family Four Squares, or one thing or another, the changes are all made by the public... So, as long as these things are connected with Jiangnan, that is to say, only Jiangnan can produce this, or
, only those from Jiangnan are good, and there is hope of becoming a companion capital.
Tang Shijin listened carefully and said, "I'll think about it."
Governor Kong didn't expect to get the result immediately, so he laughed anxiously and said: "Then I will resign first."
Tang Shijin nodded.
After seeing him off, she immediately spread out the paper and wrote a letter to Yan Baiwei.
Outside, Xi Yuanmu came in with Tang Liansheng.
Tang Liansheng's remaining poison is now gone and he can walk. He just needs to take care of himself slowly.
It's just that he has been poisoned for too long, and he was paralyzed in bed without seeing the sun. He is already eighteen years old, but in appearance, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, thin and lonely, his skin is so white that it is almost crystal clear, and he is really pure and clear.
Xiu, the beautiful boy who came out of the comics.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Liansheng pays homage to the Duke of Guo. He is so kind and virtuous that Liansheng will never forget it for the rest of his life. As long as the Duke of Guo has his destiny, Liansheng will go through fire and water, even if he dies."
Tang Shijin hummed: "You get up first."
While continuing to finish writing the letter, he read it, sealed it and handed it to Si Gutu, while saying: "You don't have to go through fire and water, do you want to become my teacher?"
Tang Liansheng was stunned for a moment, and was so surprised that he knelt down on the ground with a bang: "Yes, Liansheng is willing, Lord Duke, Master... Liansheng is so good and capable!"
He said a few words incoherently before suddenly coming back to his senses: "Liansheng pays homage to Master!"
Tang Shijin came over and helped him up with his own hands, "Get up! Eat well these days and raise more meat, otherwise I will be embarrassed to take him out."
Tang Liansheng was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear: "Yes, Master."
Tang Shijin pointed at Xi Yuanmu: "This is your second senior brother. Ask him for some medicine. If you have nothing to do, just eat and play with it to replenish it."
Tang Liansheng saluted: "Second Senior Brother."
Xi Yuanmu nodded.
When Si Gutu came back, he obediently saluted without anyone saying anything: "Senior sister."
"Ah!" Si Gutu was very happy: "Finally there is someone younger than me! Junior brother, be good." She touched his head.
Tang Shijin waved his hand: "Okay, let's go out and play. I'm busy here."
So they went out. Tang Shijin picked up his pen and wrote another letter to Wang Shenxing.
In the evening, she had a lively meal to celebrate her taking on a young apprentice.
Because Tang Liansheng was so handsome and looked very weak, even the cold Xi Yuanmu felt an inexplicable affection for him and gave him a lot of medicine. Jiang Bi'an also took out a banknote as a greeting gift.
Tang Shijin and Si Gutu also gave some banknotes simply and rudely.
So after eating one meal, Tang Liansheng became rich instantly.
After finishing eating, Tang Liansheng asked carefully: "Master, can I spend this banknote?"
"Of course!" Tang Shijin said: "What do you want to do? Give you a wet nurse?"
Tang Liansheng said: "Give it to the nanny too. In addition, I have another idea."
This sounds like something is going on!
Wu Buzheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately went over and put his arms around his shoulders: "Little Lotus, what do you want to do, tell me quickly! I'll help you!"
…………
In a small, inconspicuous restaurant in Shaoyang County, the owner was silently wiping away the grease stains on the table.
At the table next to him, several people asked him with playful faces: "Boss Zhou, I heard that Xiao Yulang entered the Duke's Mansion, so why didn't he help you?"
"That's right! If you don't help others, I have to help you!"
"Back then, you helped him so much that you even lost your own family fortune. Whenever he shows gratitude, he has to give you a hand!"
"The Duke of Guo is the living God of Wealth. If you stretch out your hand, you can earn a fortune... Why bother living here so hard!"
"That's right, I can't think about it!"
No matter what they said, he seemed not to hear them.
Those people gradually became bored, and then they exchanged glances and lowered their heads to eat.
The shop owner finished cleaning up and returned to the counter. The young man standing at the counter looked at him worriedly, and he shook his head to indicate that nothing was wrong.
This man's surname was Zhou, and his name was Zhou Longchang. He ran a very prosperous restaurant back then.
He once inherited a favor from Tang's father, so after Tang's father died, he spared no effort to help their orphans and widowed mothers.
But although the restaurant was prosperous, it could not withstand Tang Zhongcheng's revenge. He was soon involved in a case of eating dead people. The restaurant lost money and went bankrupt.
But he hadn't learned it yet. After Tang Lian Sheng was beaten, he repeatedly sent Yinzi to heal him, annoying Tang Zhongcheng, and was beaten again.
The two of them took their time and opened such a small restaurant again. Not many people came and went.
Until Tang Liansheng was picked up by the Duke's Mansion, people came over day by day, trying to persuade him to test him out.
At first he was nice and kind, but he always pretended to be deaf and didn't answer. The people who came to persuade him gradually became annoyed, and his words became more and more rude.
But no matter how much they laughed or cursed, it was as if he didn't hear them.
I was so angry that these people scolded me: "You're just like a stone in a latrine! It's smelly and hard!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth wide and pointed outside, "This..."
The others were startled, turned their heads, and then said in shock: "Xiao Yulang?"
"It's really Xiao Yulang! He, he's not paralyzed?"
The Zhou family father and son couldn't help but raise their heads, and then they were all stunned.
The person who came over was dressed in a brocade robe. He was still extremely thin, but his sick appearance had faded away. He was a beautiful young man who looked like an orchid and a jade tree. He smiled and called out: "Uncle Chang."
Li Longchang murmured: "Liansheng??"
Tang Liansheng smiled and nodded: "It's me."
Zhou Longchang said happily: "Aren't you... I mean, are you ready?"
"alright."
Tang Liansheng got the news about Wu Buzheng and knew that many people were hanging around here these days, making sarcastic remarks, so he came in a very high-profile manner and was escorted by the Jinyi Guards.
He stretched out his hand to hold his hand and said clearly: "Uncle Chang, I bought Changlong Restaurant for you. All the land and house deeds are here. You can go back."
Zhou Longchang was dumbfounded: "What?"
Tang Liansheng was very good-tempered and repeated it again.
Then Zhou Longchang finally came to his senses: "You, what are you...where did you get the money?"
Tang Liansheng smiled: "My master and brothers gave it to me. The Duke of Guo accepted me as his apprentice, and they gave me some greeting gifts. I didn't know what to do for a moment, but I remembered that Uncle Chang was here. Uncle Chang, let's go.
Go and have a look."
This restaurant had previously fallen into the hands of Tang Zhongcheng.
Tang Zhongcheng was "sick" now, so they were like Tang's father back then, without anyone to support them. In addition, due to Tang Shijin's clear displeasure, everyone pushed against them, and they quickly fell into defeat. It didn't cost much money to win the restaurant.
It wasn't until Zhou Longchang and his son were brought into the carriage that the onlookers let out a loud bang and started talking loudly.
"The Duke has accepted Tang Liansheng as his apprentice!!"
"Tang Liansheng is paralyzed!!"
"Tang Liansheng is back to repay his kindness!"
"Is that Jin Yiwei behind you? Jin Yiwei sent him here!"
“The meeting gift can buy you a restaurant!!”
There were countless mouths speaking different words, so for a while no one could hear clearly who was talking.
Moreover, the Zhou family and his son were gone, and no one came to collect the bill, but at this moment, they could no longer be happy about taking advantage of this.
