After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 222 Tangji Foundation

Boss Yang couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, which showed that he was in a good mood.

After the general and Boss Yang signed the agreement with Shen Tang, it also marked the end of the agency auction.

"Those present here are all important figures of this dynasty. Shen Tang makes this announcement.

One tenth of the proceeds from this auction will be used to establish the Tangji Foundation, which will be used to support the construction and assistance of Daqi, and to aid the people and the country."

Shen Tang stood at the head and said the last thing about this auction.

"Foundation? What is this?"

"For the construction of Da Qi? What to build?"

"This ten percent of the contract money is still ten thousand taels of silver. This Ning An Marquis is really willing to spend."

"..."

Everyone was talking about it and was very curious about this foundation.

The dignitaries sat there with unhappy expressions.

What does Shen Tang mean by saying in front of them that he has established some foundation to help the people and the country?

One percent of the deed money, ten thousand taels of silver, just say it and I'll give it to you.

If this gets out, Shen Tang's reputation will be further enhanced.

But they came here together, and the comparison between the two makes them appear particularly selfish.

What a great Marquis Ning'an!

But this is really unfair to Shen Tang. She really just wanted to set up the foundation at this time.

It just so happens that since there are so many people here today, I want everyone to bear witness.

"Not only that, in addition to today's ten percent contract silver, going forward, anyone who joins Tangji will have ten percent of their contract silver invested in the foundation. Tangji will also deduct ten percent of that year's profits after liquidation at the end of the year and invest them in the foundation."

"The Tangji Foundation will participate in road construction, the opening of clinics, the establishment of schools and other large and small public services.

The Tang Kee Foundation will include all of Tang Kee’s partners in its charity list.”

Shen Tang spoke sincerely.

Charitable foundations are extremely common in later generations, but they have never been heard of in Da Qi.

Although there are charity businesses, at most they just set up soup kitchens and provide free medical consultations.

It has never been so widespread, at most it was in the name of the family.

After Shen Tang's class, everyone understood.

This foundation will be used by Tangji to do good deeds and accumulate virtue in the future, but its coverage will be wider.

Thinking that it was just a good deed, people didn't take it seriously.

What I didn’t expect was that later, whenever people mentioned Tangji, they would praise its foundation rather than its industry.

At this point, the agency investment event came to a perfect end.

To express his gratitude, Shen Tang also specially gave several bottles of hydrosol to the four partners.

This aroused the gratitude of several people, and the lady at home specifically instructed that it didn't matter even if he couldn't get the agency rights, as long as he could establish a good relationship with Ning'an Hou so that it would be convenient for him to buy pure dew in the future.

Naturally, the fact that Ning'an Hou had established the Tangji Agent Conference could not be concealed from the well-informed civil and military officials in the court.

Marquis Cheng'en and the Grand Marshal were surrounded by everyone in the court.

"Well, I bought the agency rights because my wife liked it. She said the hydrosol was good, so I bought it."

The general spoke without blinking.

After returning home, the wife of the Grand Marshal was extremely happy to know that her husband had obtained the agency rights.

Naturally, the shop was handed over to the wife of the Grand Marshal.

After Marquis Cheng'en obtained the agency rights, he hurriedly reported the news to the Empress.

The two families were naturally extremely happy.

Shen Tang is now considering one thing, which is whether to set up a workshop in the capital.

After all, if all the goods were transported from Jiangnan by water, firstly, the cost would be too high, and secondly, it would be too inconvenient.

If we could set up a workshop in the capital, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Shen Tang shared his idea with Shen Dashan and Liu, and they both agreed to rebuild the workshop in the capital.

Jiangnan established the base of Tangji Industry with Qingshan Town as its center.

The capital city serves as Tangji's base in the north, and all its business in the north can be carried out around the capital city.

Therefore, this workshop in the capital cannot be small.

After the agency rights were given out, Shen Tang personally led people to guide the renovation of Cheng Enhou and the Lin family's shops.

The layout of Tangji's shop is similar to that of later shops.

The whole store is bright and spacious, and the goods are beautifully displayed.

As soon as you walk in, you will feel that it is completely different from other ordinary shops and it is a refreshing feeling.

There were two more snowfalls in the capital.

The emperor put down his pen and all officials stopped attending court.

It’s New Year’s Eve again.

The Ning'an Marquis Mansion was brightly lit.

The Shen and Liu families sat together.

Liu's eyes were red. She had been waiting for this New Year's Eve dinner for more than ten years.

Shen Dashan held Liu's hand and comforted her gently.

Liu Xun sat next to Shen Tang and whispered to him.

"Are your aunt and uncle worried about your lifelong event?"

Shen Tang glanced at Liu Xun.

"My mother has been so worried lately. After the Chinese New Year, my brother is another year older, and he still hasn't found a marriage."

This is not Madam Liu's fault.

Now everyone knows the relationship between her Liu family and Ning'an Hou, and people come to her house every day.

Before, when my husband held a low official position and his family background was not high, it was not so difficult to choose a wife for my son.

Now that his family status has risen, he is even more picky.

What made me even more angry was that this kid Liu Heng actually said that he would not get married until he had made some achievements.

My son is not engaged, and I see my daughter getting beaten up. After the New Year, she will be seventeen.

On this side, Madam Liu was also whispering to Liu.

"Sister, after the New Year, Tangtang is one year older. She is sixteen years old now, and she is almost of age."

Madam Liu was also kind-hearted. She just smiled and said:

"How can we two control her now? Naturally, she can do whatever she wants."

Liu looked at her daughter's bright smiling face under the light. The teenage girl was full of energy and beauty.

Just like my daughter said before, life is short, so it’s better to be casual.

In the past, my family was poor, so I thought about marrying my daughter off and finding someone to entrust her to. Now that my daughter is like this, she is much better than any man in this world. Who else can I entrust her to?

But before Mrs. Liu could answer, Madam Liu spoke up:

"However, my niece is so outstanding, I don't know what kind of man can be worthy of her."

She has been in the capital for many years. Even the talented people who are admired by everyone in the capital are just ordinary people in Madam Liu's eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you don't get married. If Tangtang is willing, we can find a son-in-law to marry into your family.

The child born will have the surname Shen, and after getting married, it will be given away for free to someone else."

The more she talked, the more Mrs. Liu felt that this method was feasible.

Shen Tang didn't notice anything at all and was just talking to Liu Xun.

"The Emperor's oral order—"

Just when everyone was having a great time, the eunuch's unique voice came from the door.
