OBS Chapter 312 Rejection
Chapter 312 Rejection
During the first few days of the Lunar New Year, Sun Shan was either visiting one family to pay New Year's greetings or drinking at another family's house.
Wang Lingzhi even happily took her to Wang Dashan's house, where she had a big drink with Wang Dashan and his son, who had recovered and married two concubines.
Wang Dashan and the Wang family were so happy that they didn't know what to do.
Only Wang Dashan's father, Old Man Wang, had a gloomy expression.
However, after looking at Wang Lingzhi's gradually growing belly, he didn't say anything.
Anyway, except for the dead second brother Wang Dashui, everything else is developing in a good direction.
The family's property increased several times, and the eldest grandson of the eldest son became an official of the eighth rank.
What's there to be dissatisfied about?
On the eve of Yue Fei's wedding to his third sister, Sun Shan took the time to take Yue Fei, accompanied by Li Lianying, out of Hengzhou City for the first time to inspect the rural areas outside Hengzhou City and Prince Heng's farm.
The viewing examined the current situation in the countryside, especially the production and storage of crops.
Found that it was very unsatisfactory.
Except for the relatively prosperous areas within 20 to 30 miles of Hengzhou City, the people there lived a relatively affluent life. The farther away from Hengzhou one was, the worse off one became.
Basically, it is almost the same as when I was in Baisha Village.
Fortunately, I can work in Hengzhou City recently, which provides me with more opportunities to make a living. The atmosphere and mental outlook in the countryside are quite good.
Sun Shan even heard and saw many people who had already set off for Hengzhou City, planning to find a good job as soon as possible to see if they could secure a public housing unit, settle down in Hengzhou, and become new Hengzhou citizens.
Sun Shan, Yue Fei and others stayed for a night at Prince Heng's farm, which covered tens of thousands of acres, in Hengshan County, fifty or sixty miles north of Hengzhou.
Sun Shan called together some experienced farmers on the farm, and after carefully questioning them, he promised them a generous reward.
If anyone can come up with a good idea to increase the rice yield by 5% from 1000 dan per mu, he will be rewarded with taels of silver.
The same goes for other crops.
As long as everyone has good methods and can constantly explore and summarize advanced methods to increase production, there will be heavy rewards.
This immediately made thousands of tenants at Prince Heng’s farm excited.
You have to know that these tenants, who may have worked and survived on Prince Heng’s farm for generations, may not have handled more than 100 taels of silver in their entire lives.
If it weren't for the endorsement of the two general managers of Prince Heng's Mansion, everyone would have known a little about the reputation of the scholar in the mountains, as well as the romantic affair between Sun Shan and his own princess.
I'm afraid people will think Sun Shan is a lunatic.
Sun Shanchun doesn't know whether there is a date or not, so he'll just give it a try first.
Today, 1000 taels of silver is not a large sum of money for Sun Shan.
But with the incentive of money, these old farmers, who have been farming for generations, will probably exert their utmost efforts and study the crops in the fields day and night in every possible way.
There will always be some gains, even breakthroughs.
The longer Sun Shan was in this world, the more he felt that there was no shortage of smart people in this world.
Especially for a craftsman family with a history of thousands of years like the Mohist School, they overcame one difficulty after another when building the Datong Community, which enabled the Datong Community to move forward steadily and orderly.
Some of these things were done at the suggestion of Sun Shan, and some were purely out of their own interests and hobbies, such as making the drainage and sewage under the ground of the community look just like the Qingdao underground passage a thousand years later.
It's like an underground passage, wide enough for two people to walk upright in it.
When Sun Shan returned to Hengzhou, he was directly pulled into the Hengwang Mansion by Yang Yuanqing.
First, they exchanged views on the situation in the countryside and Wangzhuang.
Then, Yang Yuanqing asked solemnly, "Shang'er, Emperor Yuanfeng has reviewed your family trust fund regulations. Our royal family will hold a royal meeting on February 2 to discuss this matter together."
As he spoke, Yang Yuanqing looked at Sun Shan, who looked relaxed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "What percentage do you think I should take?"
"Uncle, if I were you, as a member of the fund, I would just follow the crowd."
Hearing this, Yang Yuanqing and his son both looked gloomy.
I thought to myself, you are the third branch of the Sun family, there are only seven or eight hundred people in your branch, but you have the same share as the main branch in Mianyang.
Why does it become following the crowd when it comes to me?
"Uncle, big brother, don't worry, listen to my analysis. It's called a bystander seeing more clearly."
"You say it so easily, but how come you only account for three points? If you don't tell me something, I'll make you pay!"
Yang Yuanqing had a stern face, and in front of Sun Shan and Yang Keyin, his father was very powerful.
"Uncle, can your royal family be the same as our Sun family?"
Sun Shan first laughed and said something, then he began to analyze it for Yang Yuanqing: "After our Huayang Sun family separated from Mianyang, we have no benefits except for this surname. Basically, we are two complete strangers."
"So, with my donation, I am fully capable of giving one-third to my family."
"If they don't agree, I will do it myself, or cooperate with Chenzhou. Then the Mianyang family will become an outsider and won't get a penny of benefit."
"As for you royal family, it is completely different. Although you are far away from the court and cannot hold real power in the local area, you still enjoy the glory and wealth of the royal family."
Yang Keqing was a little dissatisfied with this, and couldn't help but retort: "I'm almost turning into a pig. I stay in Hengzhou City every day and haven't even left Hengzhou many times."
"Ha ha----"
Sun Shan laughed, and then said with a smile: "So, you should take advantage of this opportunity to set up a trust fund and get involved. You can go wherever you want and do whatever you want."
Hearing these words, the eyes of Yang family father and son lit up, and they stared at Sun Shan with gleaming eyes.
"For such a huge amount of money, someone has to be responsible, someone has to inspect and supervise everywhere. So as the donor of this asset, after giving up the right to distribute it, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to seek one or two key positions, right?"
Yang Yuanqing and his son nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's fine. It shouldn't be difficult."
"It's definitely not difficult. As long as you don't make any demands on the distribution rights, I think a position as a clan elder is inevitable."
Yang Yuanqing grinned at these words.
It turned out that the royal Yang family also planned to set up a council of elders model like the Sun family to jointly manage this huge asset that would grow day by day.
"Besides, if you want more now that you already have this 12%, aren't you afraid that they will have other ideas?"
After these words were spoken, the expressions of Yang Yuanqing and his son became complicated.
Of course not. Although I have donated 18%, the pressure is much less.
However, there are still rumors within the royal family.
In particular, some people said that since Yang Keqing and Yue Qingwei still had no children, they should not get along with someone from another family.
However, Song Meiying was still able to do well and was finally two months pregnant, which could at least shut up some people.
"Okay, then we'll listen to our third brother."
Yang Yuanqing nodded a little stiffly, then looked at Sun Shan, then looked at his daughter who looked very happy, and asked hesitantly: "Shan'er, how about you come with me to the capital on February 2nd, and I will take you to see the world?"
Hearing this, everyone present had a colorful look on their faces.
Yang Kexin had a shy smile on her face.
Yang Kewei frowned and stared at Sun Shan closely.
"I'm not going." Sun Shan shook his head. "The time is not yet ripe. Going now will only bring some superficial glory and arouse gossip. There is no benefit at all."
These words made the Yang family father and son feel relieved.
Because, no one knows what Emperor Yuanfeng heard.
In the letter sent yesterday, it was vaguely mentioned that Sun Shan could be taken to the capital to meet him.
Now, Sun Shan himself refused, which is of course the best.
