After farming, I opened a family tree

This time, each family sent a total of 28,000 taels, which also shocked Shen Tang.

It turned out that since the soap was put on the market, many vendors in the capital city, which had no distributors, saw the opportunity to buy soap from their shops and then sell it to the capital city. It was said that a piece of high-quality soap could be sold for ten taels of silver in other capital cities, but the supply still could not meet the demand.

Shen Tang was even considering whether to conduct another round of dealer recruitment.

But soon the matter was put on hold because of other things.

Because the road has been repaired!

Shen Li was looking at the wide brick road in front of him, and there was no trace of the narrow and muddy yellow mud road.

The weeds on both sides of the road were trimmed cleanly.

Although Shenjia Village is small, it has an excellent location. Although it is located at the most remote part of the surrounding villages, it is indeed the closest village to the town.

There are many villages in this area, most of which are inhabited by families.

It can be said that after this road is built, except for the farthest villages, other nearby villages that want to go to the town will eventually pass through this road in front of the gate of Shenjia Village.

Shen Tang was moved when he saw Shen Lizheng and several elders standing at the entrance of the village with their backs straight.

I guess this is the family sentiment of the ancients.

"Shen Tang, you came at the perfect time. This road will be repaired this afternoon."

"And then we'll plant some plum trees along the roadside."

Shen Tang responded, saying that in this way, the plum blossoms could be used as raw materials for making soap in winter.

Simply kill two birds with one stone.

The village head and clan elders can now plant anything they want, it will be icing on the cake.

"Two days from now, it will be a good day, a good market day! The road to our Shenjia Village will be officially open!"

"You are the head of the village, you have the final say!"

"When the time comes, I will invite the heads of several surrounding villages to come and witness it together."

"Hey, I'm going to ask those old guys to come and take a look too!"

The village head and the elders were eagerly discussing the preparations to be made in two days.

"When the time comes, dress respectably!"

When Shen Tang left, Shen Lizheng smiled and gave him some advice.

Shen Dashan and the Liu couple basically don't care about Shen Tang now. Instead, the situation is reversed and they have to say hello to Shen Tang when they go out.

For Liu, this is actually a kind of happy trouble!

Shen Tang thought about the instructions given by the village head before he left, and then remembered what the village head had said before, that as long as the road was built, it would be included in the family tree.

Is it time to include her in the family tree?

Shen Tang told Shen Dashan and Liu his guess, and they both burst into tears after hearing it.

Being included in the family tree means enjoying the family's incense in the future.

How could the couple not be happy?

Shen Qingqing was also very happy. She turned around and went into the house and took out a set of crescent-white clothes.

"I just made this the other day. You'll wear this tomorrow!"

The Shen family's clothes, shoes and socks are now all contracted by Shen Qingqing. The stitching of the clothes she makes is excellent even if they are placed in Qingshan Town!

Not to mention that Shen Qingqing can also embroider. The cuffs and collar of this crescent-white dress are embroidered with silver auspicious cloud patterns.

Shen Tang thought for a moment.

"Auntie, can this dress be altered into men's clothing?"

"Of course it can be changed."

Men's clothing uses more materials and is simpler, but Shen Qingqing doesn't understand why Shen Tang wants to change into men's clothing.

"Auntie, just do as I say. You'll understand in a few days."

Seeing Shen Tang say this, Shen Qingqing began to make it again.

Two days later, the workshop was also closed, with four days off per month. Shen Tang specially adjusted the days to coincide with the market time in order to make it convenient for the villagers.

Early in the morning, the village entrance was already surrounded by crowds of people. Everyone, young and old, was standing at the entrance, and some young men even climbed onto roofs and trees.

The road construction workers stood on both sides of the road. Their tanned skin was a testament to their hard work during this period, but everyone had a smile on their face.

Gongs and drums have been set up at the entrance of the village and incense has been lit.

"Shen Tang is here!"

The crowd consciously made way for Shen Tang, and he walked out from behind the crowd. The villagers looked at Shen Tang with admiration and surprise.

Shen Tang wore a crescent-white men's suit, secured in place by a single silver hairpin. She inherited the good looks of both Shen Dashan and Liu, both of whom had strong facial features, and Shen Tang's features were also bright and elegant. Now, in men's clothing, if you didn't look closely, you'd really look like a gentle young master from some family.

The head of the village and several clan elders were shocked by Shen Tang's appearance today, but they understood as soon as they came to their senses.

Shen Tang walked up to the crowd and greeted his elders.

"Everyone, this road took nearly two months for us from Shenjia Village, along with our friends and family, to complete! It was funded by one man, Shen Tang from Shenjia Village. Previously, this road had no name, so we've asked Shen Tang to give it a name. Without Shen Tang, there would be no Tangji, and without Tangji, there would be no road and no good life for the villagers."

The village head began to choke up as he spoke. In the past, although people from Shenjia Village would not look down on them wherever they went, they would definitely not be looked up to like they are today.

In the eyes of Shen Lizheng and other elders, Shen Tang built this road just for convenience, but to them, what Shen Tang built was not a road, but their face and backbone.

Nowadays, wherever he goes, as long as he says that he is from Shenjia Village, people around him will envy and admire him.

Shen Tang wanted to refuse, but when he turned around and met a few pairs of innocent eyes with tears in their eyes, he nodded.

"I built this road not for fame or profit, but simply to make it more convenient for us to get to town. This road is not my road, nor is it Tangji's road. It is everyone's road. So I will name it——"

“Renmin Road!”

"it is good!"

"Renmin Road! Just call it Renmin Road!"

As soon as Shen Tang finished speaking, the crowd cheered.

Shen Tang took the hammer hanging next to the gong and handed it to the oldest elder in the clan.

"Shenjia Village is what it is today. If we talk about hard work, it must be the previous generation who worked harder than us. Please, Grandpa, start the gong!"

Shen Tang handed over the gong hammer, and saw that the elder's eyes were also filled with tears.

"Bang———"

"open circuit!"

Men, women, young and old, all ran out, with smiles on their faces showing a satisfaction that Shen Tang had not seen in more than twenty years in the future.

If her arrival can change and improve the lives of those around her, then she feels that it is meaningful.

The thoughts that were imprinted in her soul began to stir again at this moment.

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it has started from scratch.

In just one month, the ancestral hall was opened twice.

But this time was different from the last time. This time, men, women, young and old, all stood in the ancestral hall with smiles on their faces.

Shen Tang stood in the ancestral hall in a white robe. In front of him were the ancestors of the Shen family, and behind him were the relatives around him today.

"Family tree please!"

Opening the Shen family genealogy, Shen Dashan's name was clearly on the list, next to Liu.

Shen Dashan, surnamed Liu, had a daughter, Shen Tang.

Shen Lizheng picked up his pen and continued writing.

Shen Tang, courtesy name Yizhi, was born in the year Jiayou. At thirteen, he established a workshop, naming it "Tangji." At fourteen, he built a road for Shenjia Village, naming it "Renmin Road."
