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

Chapter 475 She Will Definitely Reach the Pinnacle of Power

Shen Zheng had indeed never thought of handing over the sale of cotton cloth to other people. Now, the only ones she could trust were Tongan County and the Yu family.

As for the court...

At present, apart from His Majesty, there are Liang Fu and Shen Xingjian in Tongan County. She doesn't trust anyone and dares not hand over the cotton cloth rashly.

But selling is selling, and there are more ways to cooperate than just "distribution", isn't there also "settlement"?

The fifth business base is likened to a "shopping mall", and the cotton cloth from Tongan County is the "store that is settled in".

Then, if she paid "protection money" to the fifth company, wouldn't that be considered a disguised form of cooperation, and wouldn't the cotton cloth business be greatly protected?

After all, they are from the underworld! Before someone wants to cause trouble, don't they have to think about the consequences?

Shen Zheng felt blessed and felt that the problem that had troubled her for a long time had finally come to a turning point.

Her eyes lit up, and she pulled the Fifth Tanwei and said, "I have always been a little unsure about the sale of cotton cloth, and I have been thinking about how to solve it recently, but I have no idea. But your appearance has given me a new idea. Do you think it is feasible?"

"You go ahead." Diwu Tanwei was very curious about what she was saying and acted as if he was listening attentively.

"Because of the pricing of cotton cloth, I really couldn't let others handle it from the beginning. Others only saw that the people had a high demand for cotton cloth and it was a long-term business. But what many people don't know is that when it comes to the actual sale of cotton cloth, I will strictly control the price and will never allow the price of cotton cloth to rise artificially except for force majeure."

The "force majeure" mentioned by Shen Zheng represents factors such as natural disasters, wars, military changes, and national policies.

The Fifth Tanwei thought for a moment and said, "What you mean is that, apart from these non-human factors, you will never allow merchants to maliciously raise the price of cotton cloth for profit?"

"That's right." Shen Zheng nodded. "I guess many people think that my statement 'not for profit' is just to gain reputation, and that I am just saying it in a nice way, but I will never hesitate to make money when it comes to making money."

After all, this kind of work of saying one thing and doing another is done by many people in the world.

So even if Shen Zheng was misunderstood, she would not defend herself.

But Diwu Tanwei didn't think she was that kind of person. She looked at Shen Zheng seriously and said, "I believe you."

Shen Zheng grinned: "Then...thank you very much?"

The two smiled at each other, and Shen Zheng said, "I was right to think so before, but I think it will take some planning to implement it. After all, apart from Shangjing and Tongan County, I haven't been to other places much, and I'm not familiar with them. It's inevitable that I'll be constrained when doing things."

"But if you join us... the situation will be completely different."

When wise people speak, they should just keep to the point.

The Fifth Tanwei sighed and laughed: "I didn't expect... your ideas are really different from those of ordinary people. Before today, I never thought that we could cooperate in this way."

"What do you think?" Shen Zheng patted his chest. "You have a big family and a lot of wealth. It shouldn't be a problem for you to protect my small cloth shop in Tongan County."

"Once your cloth shop is established, it will no longer be a 'small cloth shop'."

Diwu Tanwei recalled the scene he saw in Xiahe Village that day. The wide area that was being leveled was where the cloth workshop would be located in the future. Moreover, the area was surrounded by wasteland. If the production capacity was not enough and they wanted to expand, they could just gather people to include the border areas.

In her opinion, as long as everyone in Tongan County works together, in just one or two years, Tongan cloth shops will be able to flourish all over Dazhou.

It goes without saying who is behind the deputy governor of the Grand Canal Transport Administration.

With that person's endorsement and support, this cooperation seems to be an advantage for Tongan County over the fifth company, but in fact it is not the case.

What are they going to do?

It was just a way to help Tongan Cloth Shop gain a foothold amid the covetousness of local tyrants.

It just so happened that gaining a firm foothold was what her Fifth Family was best at. Although some of their methods could not be implemented openly, they did the "first courtesy, then force" approach in a down-to-earth and clear manner.

The fifth family gave it face, but whether they want it or not is up to them.

If she encounters someone who "doesn't care about face", her Fifth Family also has a "no face" way of solving the problem.

Shen Zheng's eyes rolled in her sockets, and suddenly she thought of something else.

"If your family is willing to supply goods to Tongan County and the surrounding areas, Tongan County will not take them for nothing."

If Shen Zheng had said this a few months ago, he would not have had the confidence to do so. After all, Tongan County was extremely poor at that time, and transactions were not based on mutual benefit. One could only take advantage of others temporarily.

But things are different now, and she can now be considered to have a few small cards.

Although Diwu Tanwei saw how confident she was, he couldn't help but say, "It's okay to take it for free. I just said that I am doing this for myself. If my performance in the past few years is good and I can really get into the mainstream, I can still meet you in the officialdom and continue to be your colleague."

In her eyes, Shen Zheng seemed to have suddenly changed his clothes and turned into the robes of a court official.

But it was not the green official robe of a seventh-rank county magistrate, but a purple robe that symbolized status and power.

The wind took away the heaviness of her purple robe. The robe fluttered in the wind, and the accessories on it swayed back and forth with her steps, making slight collision sounds, one after another, as if playing the music of power, a music that belonged only to Shen Zheng.

She will definitely reach the pinnacle of power in the Great Zhou, the Fifth Tanwei is extremely certain.

"Now I can't work under you, I hope that by then I can truly be your subordinate and call you Lord Shen." She said.

Shen Zheng was stunned for a moment by her confident tone, and always felt that she was looking through her at others.

"Don't underestimate yourself." She smiled gently. "What I just wanted to say can be regarded as mutually beneficial. Do you want to listen to it?"

"Of course I have to listen."

"Then let's go." Shen Zheng stood up with the help of a stone bench and dusted off the dust on her robe. "Let's go to Uncle's place. I'll show you something."

Looking for something?

Such a simple sentence made Diwu Tanwei feel that he was one step closer to her.

......

Before the two reached the gate of Yu Shizhang's courtyard, they heard a lot of noise inside, like a pot of hot porridge bubbling.

Shen Zheng stopped and looked back at the road she came from.

"I didn't go wrong..."

Taking two steps forward, she put her ear against the wooden door and listened attentively to the sounds in the yard.

"It's crooked! It's crooked again! Who said before that his eyes were like a ruler? Even such a simple ranking is crooked. How dare he call himself a ruler? Come on, take this boaster away!"

"No! Uncle Qingtian! Give your student another chance!"
