The weak scholar in the end of ancient times

Chapter 83 Door
Shen Lu was furious at the "lightness" of the money box, and he got angry for a moment.

Going out did not help me vent my anger, but instead I returned home with a lot of thoughts in my mind.

Then I saw the two trucks of glass that had just been delivered from the Zhao family workshop.

Shen Qing and Shen Liu, who had been whispering together, immediately ran over, their faces full of excitement and impatience.

They had seen the effect at Wen Gu before, and now they can finally install it in their own home. They can change the design of the study, bedroom, etc. to their own preferences!
No need to suffer from the cold, bright and show your status!
When the time comes, I can invite people from the clan to come and visit and show off. Wouldn’t they be envious to death?

The two trucks of goods in front of him belong only to his family, not to the clan.

Shen Yu also temporarily put aside his thoughts and asked curiously:
"Is this the glass? The one you said you could put in the window?"

I looked through the account book before and there was a record in it, and the manager also reported it.

These two cars are the newly ordered goods.

Shen Lu walked over quickly and took a closer look. It was indeed as translucent as a crystal, with a hint of emerald green. The color was particularly obvious when the pieces were stacked together.

I like this colorful one!
Just looking was not enough, he reached out to touch it.

The delivery man quickly reminded: "The edges are sharp, Mr. Shen, please be careful!"

"Well, don't touch the edge."

Shen Lu touched it, feeling the coolness under his fingers.

"Good stuff!"

Without installing it, he could already imagine the effect in his mind, and could also think of the hot topics that the wealthy nobles in Xinzhou City would talk about after dinner.

In winter, it is windproof, warm and light-transmissive, much better to use than bright tiles, shiny and looks luxurious!
"Change it! Replace all the doors and windows immediately!" Shen Lu said happily.

There isn't just one type of glass installed on a car, but several. Some are plain, some are thicker and patterned, and some are in other colors. The owner can install it according to their preference.

Shen Lu then asked the delivery person, "How many households in the city have received these glass panels right now?"

The delivery man said respectfully, "In reply to Mr. Shen, so far, we have only shipped this batch of goods, and delivered them to two families. One is your family, and the other is Pei Xunwei's family."

The production of glass was limited, and many wealthy families in the city had to queue up to place orders. Those with insufficient social status had to wait until after the New Year.

Shen Lu was secretly happy.

Their family was favored because of Madam Shen, and the Pei family was favored because of their craftsman and recipe. Everyone else, no matter where they came from, had to rank behind them!
Think about how much grievance and oppression their Shen family had suffered because of their business. Who could have thought that the world would change so quickly!
There is no way to explain the thing called luck. His Shen family just rode on the luck!

No matter how happy he felt in his heart, Shen Lu still looked calm.

The delivery person also informed me that the glass had been delivered, and if I needed a specialized craftsman to install it, I could make an appointment. They were all experienced workers trained in the workshop.

But the owner has to first think clearly about what kind of glass to use and where to install it.

The delivery person explained the goods and precautions one by one, then stood there respectfully with his head bowed, kneeling slightly. He showed no intention of leaving.

Shen Yu: ? ?

Anything else?
Shen Qing leaned over and whispered to his father: "The final payment!"

Shen Lu suddenly realized: "Oh yes, there is also this final payment!"

The deposit has been paid and now it’s time to pay the balance.

There's no way to shirk this debt.

Who dares to default on the Zhao family’s debt?

Now the money is in Shen Lu's hands, so he is the only one who can pay this amount.

Nowadays, glass production is limited and it is a valuable commodity. Purchasing these two truckloads of goods is not a small amount of money.

More bills were handed out.

I had originally intended to put the money into the coin purse, but now I have given it away.

Shen Lu smiled calmly, but he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

But it is a necessary expense!

Glass windows can indeed improve the living environment and make winter more bearable. For families with better financial conditions, they are a top priority. Furthermore, they are also a good way to prepare for the Lunar New Year.

When you go out for social events, and everyone else’s house has it installed, but yours doesn’t, does that mean you’ve fallen on hard times?
There must be a lot of people making sarcastic remarks.

Now his family's performance also represents Mrs. Shen's face. Can't be embarrassed!

Money spent wisely is valuable!
Shen Lu comforted himself in this way.

As for the empty coin purse...

Now that the Shen family’s life is getting better, they will be able to save money again soon!

After paying the bill and the delivery man left, they discussed how to distribute the glass pieces and where to put them.

"Wen Gu also contributed to the development of glass?" Shen Lu sighed, "This kid is really an amazing person!"

He has half of my Shen family's blood, so he must have a business mind. If he manages things well in a peaceful world, he will surely make a fortune and become a wealthy man!
Not only Shen Lu, but everyone else thought so too. They were jealous and believed that if the world was peaceful, they would at least get involved.

But the world is different now, and any ideas you have have to be suppressed.

Even if you know the recipe, what can you do?
First, no. Without materials, kilns, and craftsmen, what can be done?
Secondly, I didn't dare. Taking business from the warlords on their territory? Tired of living?!

Of course, you could get the recipe and then defect to other factions, but that would be too risky.

After the agitation, he calmed down again.

On the other side, Jingxingfang.

Uncle Shen’s sudden arrival was indeed an unexpected episode today.

Regardless of the cause and process of the incident, the result was a happy episode.

Wen Gu looked at the two notes in his hand.

Uncle Shen is such a good man!
We must have more contact in the future to strengthen the relationship between uncle and nephew!
Keep the money and continue with today's business.

Today is a day of special significance for the grassroots clerks and clerical staff of Jingxingfang.

The people from the Patrol Guard Department, in addition to bringing over the ten wounded and retired personnel who had been promised to be transferred, also delivered something along the way—

The plaque for Wen Gu’s application has arrived.

The head of each block has his or her own office in a different place.

Grassroots-level managers such as "fangchang" generally do not have independent, formal offices.

Some set up simple offices near the gate, while others set up their own offices in their own homes.

Wen Gu managed the affairs of the two districts and converted one of his own courtyards into an office.

However, as more and more people moved into the area, the number of houses built and the number of people coming and going every day increased greatly, and the number of people working in the office also gradually increased.

After thinking about it, we must also improve our professionalism and not let people mistakenly think that we are a makeshift team.

This courtyard was renovated several times. In order to add a sense of formality and ceremony, Wen Gu specially applied for an official certified plaque, on which were four large characters written by his cousin - Jingqing Gongsuo!

The main gate of the yard has been renovated and rebuilt, making it stronger and more imposing. Now with a plaque hanging on it, it feels more presentable and highlights the professional identity!

From today on, this is the official place of authority of Jing and Qing districts recognized by Xinzhou!

This is not a small, shabby yard that anyone can enter!

It feels like an official residence!
Wen Gu turned his head to look at the others.

As expected, Cheng Zhi and He Xiaodi both looked proud, and the eyes of the onlookers also became more respectful.

That is to say, there are not so many etiquette and rules now, so we can be a little bolder when revisiting the old style and renovating the courtyard. Pei Jing was asked to design and modify the plaque and the main gate of the courtyard.

Looking back now, it was all worth it.

The morale boost is significant and the emotional value is high. Every dog passing by will give it a thumbs up when they see it!
Rumor has it that the doorhead represents GDP.

Maybe we can attract a few more dog owners.
