In the thirteenth year of Kangxi's reign, autumn rain fell all over the eaves of the Shen family corridor in Kunshan.
Shen Zhao, a graduate student in modern Ming and Qing history, once transformed into a young merchant whose father died and his family was in danger.
The clan tigers are watching, the current situation is turbulent, food shortages are widespread, the profits of the old cloth village are meager, and the ancestral property is in danger.
He abandoned the old-fashioned way and switched to clothing, planting mulberry fields, and water transportation. He used advanced management methods to make a living in troubled times.
The tribute order from the Suzhou Zhifu Mansion, the military ration fleet in the Yangzhou Canal, the Shenji Workshop in Tongzhou Wharf, and the joint-venture shops in the streets of Taiyuan were all the steps he took step by step.
The business route was full of dangers, with clan conflicts, stumbling blocks by profiteers, banditry on waterways, and siege by Shanxi merchants coming one after another.
Fortunately, I met Tong Wantang, the daughter of the Tong family of the imperial merchant. She had a clear mind and was proficient in the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the secret files of the northern and southern canals.
A piece of partnership deed, the two of them settled accounts and weathered the storm together, weathered the storm together on a boat in the Bohai Sea, and solved the predicament of the CCP in Suzhou City.
The great disparity in family status cannot separate hearts and minds. In troubled times, he safeguards the foundation of the Shen family, and she accompanies him in business from the north to the south. A deep memory hides all the fireworks in the south of the Yangtze River, and also hides the long-lasting love between the two of them.
