Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 146 The richest man enters Yangzhou

"The reason why these desserts taste so good is mainly because of sugar." Shen Xia was very sure. This was her confidence as a foodie.

"Candy?" Shen Wansan nodded slightly.

You must know that sugar is a rare thing, especially the best sugar.

It seems that there are many things worth paying attention to in Yangzhou.

Rail trains are very fast.

In just a moment, we arrived at Yangzhou Station.

From the moment he got on the bus, Shen Wansan had been secretly calculating the time. Combined with the distance from Rugao County to Yangzhou City, it was true that he could travel eight hundred miles a day.

Even conservative.

The real speed is much faster than this.

This could be regarded as opening the eyes of the richest man in the Ming Dynasty. Shen Wansan sighed in his heart and prepared to get up and get off the car.

What Shen Wansan didn't know was that what shocked him was yet to come.

After Shen Wansan and his party came out of the platform of Yangzhou Station, they started walking towards Yangzhou City.

"Grandpa, why don't these fertile fields grow rice?" Shen Cheng asked, looking at the fields on both sides of the road.

Originally, at this time of year, looking at a field like this, it should be a vast expanse of green rice fields.

"Boss, these farmers in Yangzhou should have switched to growing potatoes." The servant Ah Qi said.

Shen Wansan nodded. Even though he was in a semi-retired state, he had still heard of the great famine that swept the entire Sanjin Land last year.Naturally, we also know that Potato is the real hero in saving the famine.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, some people have also begun to plant it, but not much.

After all, this is a land of fish and rice, and the production of grain and rice is sufficient.

It was impossible for everyone in the Ming Dynasty to eat only potatoes from now on, so the court did not do much to promote potato cultivation in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

"It turns out to be potatoes." Shen Cheng suddenly said.

He had eaten potatoes.

This stuff is delicious when it's new at first, but if you eat too much, you'll get tired of it.

Go forward again.

Then I saw tall buildings, row upon row.

"Grandpa, there are so many tall buildings, and these buildings are so strange." Shen Cheng exclaimed again.

Not only him, Shen Wansan and his party were all shocked when they saw so many tall buildings with novel shapes.

Shen Xia looked at it for a while and found that these high-rise buildings were divided into blocks. Each block was surrounded by a wall as high as a person, with a gate on the north and south sides of the wall.

"Let's go over and take a look at the situation." Shen Wansan said.

"It's my boss."

Shen Wansan and his party walked to the gate of a community nearest to them and were about to go in for a visit, but they were stopped directly.

"This is District 12 of Xingfu Community. Who are you friends looking for?" A man wearing a weird uniform with armbands on his sleeves walked up to Shen Wansan and his group, stretched out a hand and said.

"We are businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is our first time to come to Yangzhou. We saw these high-rise buildings, so we came to take a look." Shen Wansan said with a smile, directly stating his identity and purpose of visit.

The young man replied: "I am the security guard of this community, from Mingji Property Management."

property?

Although he didn't know what property was, Shen Wansan could roughly guess the meaning of the word security. The literal meaning of security is to protect safety.In other words, the responsibility of the young man in front of him is to protect the safety of so many high-rise buildings in the area behind him.

It's like looking after a home.

It's just that he visited a few more homes at once.

"I'm very sorry. Non-residents of the community are not allowed to enter at will." The young security guard said.

Ah Qi, who was standing behind Shen Wansan, saw this and immediately stepped forward. At the same time, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and said, "Brother, our boss is just going in for a visit and will not cause any damage to your community."

The young security guard did not reach out to take the ingot of silver, even though his eyes never left the moment Ah Qi took out the silver.

"Brother, let's take a look and leave. We won't embarrass you." Ah Qi continued.

The young security guard took a step back this time and said, "It is my responsibility to protect the safety of the community. If I let you in at will, I would be sorry for the clothes I am wearing."

"There was a big disaster last year. If it hadn't been for Mr. Yang, our family would have starved to death. I can't do anything that would be sorry for you."

Faced with temptation, the young security guard gave his attitude directly.

Shen Wansan looked at the young security guard in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

With his experience, he could naturally see the young security guard's desire for that ingot of silver at a glance, but it was precisely this that made it even more valuable.

Such a talent is actually put here as a small guard.

Shen Wansan felt it was a pity. In his opinion, if such a talent could train under him for a few years, it would be more than enough for him to become a shopkeeper.

"Ah Qi, don't embarrass this little brother. He is just fulfilling his duties." Shen Wansan finally spoke.

"Yes, boss." Upon hearing this, Ah Qi immediately put away the money and respectfully retreated behind Shen Wansan.

The young security guard looked at Shen Wansan and his party, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you really just want to visit the community, you can go to the Mingji Sales Department after entering the city. Just tell the staff there that it is Just come here to buy a house, and someone will naturally take you to visit it. You don’t have to actually buy it. Houses in urban communities are very expensive, and their prices have increased recently. "

"Thank you." Shen Wansan said with a smile.

Here are some new terms again, the sales department should be the place where properties are sold.

Shen Wansan and his party continued to move forward.

This time we finally entered the city.

Just after passing the city gate and walking a few steps, Shen Wansan and the others felt the prosperity of Yangzhou.

The spacious streets are filled with pedestrians, horse-drawn carriages, and vendors hawking along the street.

The smell of fireworks rushed over.

Shen Wansan couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment. He said, "Xiao Qi, when was the last time we came to Yangzhou."

"My boss, it was ten years ago."

Ten years ago, that is, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the heroes were divided.

Shen Wansan has been here before, but he has never been able to connect what he saw then with what he sees now.

How long has it been.

It seems like a completely different world?
Shen Wansan was in a daze for a moment.

But soon, his eyes shone brightly, and he hadn't felt this excited in an unknown amount of time.

When he was young, he felt like this every time he saw something new, every time he met a stranger he had never seen before, every time he went to a place he had never been before, every time he negotiated a business deal.

Shen Wansan smiled.

He wanted to see how many more surprises this Yang Xian could give him!
