Chapter 511 A tall tree has no shade, and a single tree cannot form a forest.
When the group arrived at the government office, both Chen Dongjia and Chang Dongjia had some connections, so the procedures were handled quickly.
However, when signing and putting fingerprints, in addition to the three members of the Shen family, there was also Chen Dongjia who knew their family well.
The official in charge of settlement and Mr. Chang were both stunned.
Because it was Shen Youyou who paid the money, the name written on the house deed was also Shen Youyou.
This made the others a little confused. What kind of family are you from? You want such a bold kid to be responsible for taking the money?
The key point is that in order to transfer the house deed, a household registration is also required, and the household registration clearly states, Shen Youyou, female.
It's not that it's uncommon to give a house to a daughter, because in ancient times, if a well-off family was able, they would give some land deeds and house deeds to their daughters when they got married.
This is the confidence and guarantee for your daughter's future life in her husband's family, but isn't it too early to transfer your child now?
However, there was an episode in the middle, because after looking at the household registration, Chang Dongjia also knew who Shen Zhiqiu was.
Tangjia Village was established as a military supply village, and the nine clans were granted the title of loyal and righteous clan by the emperor.
Even in the provincial capital, anyone with some connections has heard of it.
Therefore, Mr. Chang felt more relieved. Since they were a loyal and righteous family bestowed by the prince, they would definitely not cheat him for a few hundred taels of silver.
After a few more pleasantries, Chang Dongjia even pulled Shen Zhiqiu aside and said from the bottom of his heart, "Brother, although I, your elder brother, may not be as capable as Lao Chen,
But I have lived in Shuntian Prefecture for so long, so I still have some connections. If there is anything I can use in the future, just ask me directly."
Of course Shen Zhiqiu would not refuse. After all, more friends mean more paths. They have fled here to escape famine, and they need to build up a lot of connections slowly.
Don’t say that. You’re about to become an official. You’ll have plenty of connections in the future and may even take a liking to this family that has fallen on hard times.
Actually, why would you look down on it?
In Shen Zhiqiu's view, mice have their own ways, cats have their own ways, and everyone has his or her own rules of survival.
A tall tree provides no shade; a single tree does not form a forest.
After all, a person's power is limited and weak. If you want to accomplish great things, you cannot do without the support and help of others.
Zeng Guofan also once said: "In life, one cannot accomplish anything by himself. If you want to accomplish great things, you must manage relationships and use the power of others to accomplish your own things.
Therefore, regardless of past and present lives, Shen Zhiqiu not only values personal connections, but also knows how to maintain them.
On the third day, this fact was also confirmed. Although Shen Zhiqiu refused to go to the Ministry of Industry, he could get things done.
So the Ministry of Industry promised to make 100 sets of new "bicycle" tillage tools and sent them to us.
Also delivered were the metal parts of the plastic seeding tools.
In the past few days, the boys from the Nine Clans have not been idle and have also completed the production of the plastic parts of the seed drill.
Just install it and you can use it.
Therefore, many villagers who came to watch the fun were like they had found a new toy.
Holding a "bicycle" tilling tool, he plowed the wasteland of Jiuzu in circles.
No animals are needed at all, and one person can easily operate it.
Moreover, the plowing speed was extremely fast, and even the elderly men got the chance to use it.
After plowing for a long time, he was so tired that he was sweating, but he still refused to stop.
Even Master Shen was gesticulating and talking to others:
"How is it? It works well, right? We made one before and I tried it. At my age, it's no problem to plow five acres of land a day."
After saying this, he smiled and found that half of his teeth were missing.
Shen Zhiqiu looked at the old man's heartfelt smile and smiled, and said to everyone, "Don't worry, we have left 50 sets of tillage and sowing tools at home.
The other fifty sets of equipment will be used by villagers in turn. Don't worry, we will finish plowing the fields within ten days."
Of course, it is true as he said, with these two tools and the tap water irrigation system,
Spring planting is obviously much easier.
Even the pumping device can be used for watering Shen Youyou’s small hill as long as the pipe is long enough.
They have already experimented with this. Previously, when they were watering the euphorbia sorbifolia and the Zanthoxylum bungeana trees, they didn't use buckets of retained water.
But Shen Zhiqiu's work was not easy either, because he and the young and strong people with rich farming experience and the old men in the village also had to work on the land every day.
In his hand, he held a small notebook that he had bound himself, in which he had written down a lot of things, and he humbly sought the opinions of those experienced farmers.
At the end of the day, the number of steps I walked in the fields was actually more than the number of steps I walked in a day during the period of fleeing famine.
Shen Zhiqiu was so tired that he had to ask the doctor to prescribe plasters for him every day before he could sleep soundly.
Only seven or eight days later, Chen Dongjia came to Tangjia Village in person.
Looking at the big workshop and the busy people in front of him, he felt a little envious.
In front of the elders, he said: "Brother, you are really good here. You have made the whole village prosperous. I think I understand. You are a lucky star."
In fact, everyone in Tangjia Village knows what this means and they are not stupid.
Although they are too busy to go out seldom, and many of them have severed ties with relatives in the past few days, they still have other relatives.
For example, because of the war in the north, the price of food has also risen rapidly.
Many relatives came to borrow food crying.
Besides, Tangjia Village and Yangjia Village are close to each other, and they have heard something about it.
Therefore, I cherish the opportunity to work, and I feel that only by working hard, I can make things better and faster, without any reservations.
"How's it going, Brother Chen, do you have any news?"
Hearing Shen Zhiqiu's question, Chen Dongjia hurriedly pulled Shen Zhiqiu and was about to get on the carriage:
"Come on, follow me into the city quickly. The price of that house has dropped, and some people are planning to buy it. Let's hurry up and get it first."
On that day, Shen Zhiqiu bought his first property in this world. Of course, the one bought by Youyou doesn’t count, because it was not bought with his own money.
However, Shen Youyou was not satisfied with just one store. In the next few days, Shen Zhiqiu and his daughter stayed in four counties, namely Fang County, Liang County, Zhuo County and An County, to look after stores.
Now the workshops are on the right track and the work efficiency has been greatly improved.
Shen Youyou planned to let her grandmother take the other nine old ladies to open supermarkets in the provincial capital and the four counties below.
Her ambition has also been upgraded. In the future, she plans to open Shen's department stores in every city that King Yan owns.
It's a pity that the civil unrest was still going on in this era, otherwise she would have opened stores all over Daqing.
Shen Zhiqiu also used the last two days before taking office to finalize one thing, which was that they were finally going to build a new house.
According to his and his daughter's idea, they would build a high wall around the only circle of the Nine Clans, and then build three- or two-story new Chinese-style villas inside the wall.
Shen Youyou has already drawn the design drawings and is just waiting for the workers to arrive before starting construction.
Moreover, the layout of the new Chinese-style villa she was planning to build had to be based on the convenience of living in her previous life. The first flush toilet was a problem that she had to study carefully.
This time, the Jiu clan cannot ask the villagers for help in building a new house. They have to hire a bricklaying team. The main reason is that the workshop cannot be closed, and they have to deliver goods to the warehouse office every month.
