Chapter 307: Printing House Contract Redrafting, Shen Zheng Can Also Be a Backing

Only then did Shen Zheng understand their true intentions.

In order to "level the classes", they are willing to turn into a shovel.

"grown ups."

Wang Guangjin looked at her with a smile.

"We thought that this is how we would live our lives... In fact, it doesn't matter. Who can really understand life after living a lifetime? Don't we all just muddle through? But who would have thought that God would open his eyes and let us meet you..."

Everyone present felt the same way as he said, and a merchant with graying hair on his temples also looked at Shen Zheng.

His face was moved: "Sir, it is you who made our lives different. In the past, how could we dare to challenge the royal families? We didn't even have the courage to look them in the eye..."

When he was born, merchants were not yet allowed to study for the imperial examinations. He understood all the hardships of that time.

Why were they able to sacrifice their lives this time? Because Lord Shen brought their hearts, which had been silent for most of their lives, back to life.

Speak up for the people of the world?

If this sentence was said before, it would make people laugh.

Shen Zheng looked at their real faces with extremely complicated emotions.

She looked at them deeply, then took a step back and bowed to them.

"Sir! You can't do that!"

Wang Guangjin quickly stepped forward and supported her.

Shen Zheng brushed his hand away and said sincerely: "There is nothing you can't do. This is the respect you deserve."

Her eyes swept across their faces one by one.

"You could have cooperated with the county school and shared the profits in proportion as I suggested before, but you gave away the profits that were within your grasp. You... deserve my respect and the respect of the people of the world."

Respect from all over the world.

Everyone was shocked.

They didn't actually think about that.

What they wanted more was to give their fellow merchants a face.

I just want to save face.

If there is any great ambition... it is to hear another apology.

They traveled far and wide, supported their own families, and also boosted business in many places, making originally expensive items affordable. Is this a very lowly way of living?

No way...

Why do they receive so many unfriendly looks? Is it because of some bad apples?

Everyone got angry again when they thought of this, and they promised Shen Zheng:

"Sir, we don't know about merchants from other places, but we promise you that we will never be profiteers."

"That's right! Sir, I have always believed that no matter whether you are doing business or other work, you must be true to your conscience, and only then will you be blessed."

Shen Zheng looked up.

She seemed to see their "true faces" through a mask.

"I have made note of this."

She suppressed the tears in her eyes, took out a pen, and while making changes on the deed, she said to them:

"Since you are all willing to risk it, then as the county magistrate, I have to express my opinion, right?"

"grown ups!"

Wang Guangjin seemed to have guessed her intention and wanted to step forward and snatch the deed away.

Shen Zheng put one hand on the deed and shook her head at him.

"Listen to me. I will back you up. Just go ahead and do your best."

When everyone heard this, they felt their noses, which had been feeling a little better, start to feel sore again.

Shen Zheng added his own name in the section "Supporting printing" with a firm attitude.

Now the "sponsor" of the county school printing house changed from "Tong'an Chamber of Commerce" to "Tong'an Chamber of Commerce and County Magistrate Shen Zheng."

Shen Zheng nodded with satisfaction, picked up the paper and blew the ink dry.

"I will assign the work, Wang Guangjin, please write it down and add it to the contract when you go back."

"I will be responsible for the initial collection of books and the money for engraving and printing. You will take care of the rest. The profit-sharing method in the contract will remain unchanged. The county school will take the profit from the printing house, and you will take the profit from the bookstore's sales. As for me, I just want to have fun."

"How can this be done!"

Everyone's face was filled with anxiety and they refused as soon as they opened their mouths.

"Sir, this won't work. If you really want to join us and support us, just add some color to our business! How can we let you be responsible for the major expenses?"

Everyone present knew that the real big part of printing a book was the initial collection of books and the engraving of the clay.

Everyone knows how expensive rare books are.

And ask someone who can read to carve the seal from the clay, and then burn the blank to make the seal, which is another lot of work.

How could they have the nerve to...

"Okay." Shen Zheng folded the revised contract and handed it to Wang Guangjin.

Wang Guangjin stayed where he was.

He didn't want to answer.

If he accepted it, he would be fulfilling the adults' wishes.

Shen Zheng chuckled, raised her chin towards him and asked, "Do you want me to keep it like this?"

"No..." Wang Guangjin asked, "Sir, please think about it again..."

"Nothing to think about."

Shen Zheng refused outright, "You forgot that I just received a reward from the Emperor. So why don't I use the Emperor's reward to do something practical?"

Her goals may be slightly different from those of the merchants, but the path they are taking next is the same.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

There was a knock on the door.

Shen Zheng took a look outside and directly handed the deed to Wang Guangjin.

"Okay, we all have important things to do, so don't waste any more time, let's go back. By the way, send a copy over after the contract is revised."

Everyone was driven away by her and felt embarrassed to stay any longer, so they walked out of the conference room, looking back every few steps.

They came with great enthusiasm and left with full of guilt.

It's ruined the adults again...

After they left, Zhao Xiu, with a happy look on his face, walked in with someone.

The man saluted and said, "Master Shen."

"Detective Sun!"

When Shen Zheng saw him, she was also a little surprised and looked quickly behind him.

When I saw that there was no one behind him, I felt a little disappointed.

Constable Sun bowed and said, "Master Shen, Master Yu has been busy lately. He wanted to come here in person this time, but he couldn't get away."

What he didn't say was that his master wanted to come in person.

The gentleman was so insistent on coming here that he was almost throwing a tantrum, but the officials in the government office refused to let him go.

Detective Sun recalled the scene and laughed out loud.

Lord Yu was running in front, holding the confused wife, followed by a young lady, and at the end, the elderly Earl of Yongning.

The officials cried and begged them to stay in the government office for a while longer, and they would personally send them to Tongan County when the time comes.

You must be kidding. The government office has been piled with affairs for almost a month. Your Excellency is happy to have some free time, but it's hard for the officials. How can they let Your Excellency just leave as he pleases?

Constable Sun had an obvious smile on his face and couldn't help but reveal the truth to Shen Zheng.

"......The Lord and the Earl have been talking about you, Lord Shen, all the time. As a result, all the officials in the government have listed you as the number one person who should not be offended."

When Shen Zheng heard this, the depression in her heart was slightly relieved.

She actually didn't understand where this frustration came from.

Opening a printing house or a bookstore is obviously a good thing.

But before she met the people from the Chamber of Commerce, she was clearly fine.
