Chapter 195

Meanwhile, the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce and various workshop centers relocated to Nanjun, especially to Jiangling City.

This allowed the economy of Jiangling City to begin developing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Jiangling City also rapidly became prosperous.

It was almost different every few days.

The number of people coming and going for business and procurement also increased.

Coupled with the relocation of tens of thousands of troops, military families, and workshop workers to Jiangling, it would have been impossible for Jiangling City not to develop.

The city also gradually became crowded.

Su Xuan had long anticipated this and began to renovate and expand Jiangling City.

During this period, Zhen Yi also arrived in Jiangling City with Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang and a large dowry.

He met Su Xuan.

"Uncle, Jiang'er, you've come! Quick! Come in and sit!"

Although Su Xuan was somewhat surprised, he generally understood some of Zhen Yi's thoughts, so he immediately greeted them warmly and invited them into the mansion.

After sitting down, while drinking tea, Zhen Yi said: "Worthy son-in-law, we came this time, firstly to discuss matters regarding commercial cooperation;"

"Didn't you say last time that you hoped for further commercial cooperation between our two sides?"

"Yes!"

Su Xuan nodded affirmatively: "That is indeed the case! Later, I will introduce my second brother, Su Yu, to you, Uncle!"

"Currently, he is mainly in charge of the affairs of the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce;"

"When the time comes, you can discuss specific matters with my second brother; we won't let you suffer any losses!"

The Zhen Clan had a large scale in Jizhou and could indeed help him.

"Haha! That's not an issue at all!"

Hearing this, Zhen Yi waved his hand and said: "Why talk about suffering losses? Isn't that being too formal?"

"Once you and Jiang'er are married, we will be one family. There is no such thing as suffering losses; as long as I can help you, that is enough!"

"This time, I am prepared to let my second son, Zhen Yan, stay here, firstly as a liaison for the Chamber of Commerce;"

"Secondly, to let him build a branch of the Zhen Clan Chamber of Commerce here;"

"In the future, it will specifically interface with the Su Chamber of Commerce;"

"If you need anything here in the future that we can provide, we can help with procurement and transportation, such as grain and the like."

"That works!"

Su Xuan nodded with a smile: "Not to mention anything else, I am certainly in great need of grain and even warhorses here;"

"Jizhou is a major grain-producing province, unlike Nanjun, which has many mountainous areas and not as much fertile land."

"As for Brother Zhen Yan, if you are willing, you can come to my Prefecture Governor's mansion to serve as the Grain Officer. Are you willing?"

Su Xuan said, looking at Zhen Yan.

"I..."

Zhen Yan was stunned upon hearing this. Zhen Yi, who was on the side, saw this and scolded him with a sense of "iron not becoming steel": "What 'I'? Why don't you hurry up and thank your brother-in-law?"

"Many thanks, brother-in-law!"

Only then did Zhen Yan react and hurriedly bowed to thank Su Xuan.

"It's nothing!"

Su Xuan waved his hand with a smile and said: "We are all one family; it is only right to look out for one another!"

"I hope you work hard. The position of Grain Officer may seem simple, but it is actually very important. I hope you won't let me down."

"Coincidentally, this should be something you are good at."

"Understood!"

Zhen Yan immediately responded respectfully.

Afterwards, Zhen Yi chatted with Su Xuan for a while longer to understand the situation in Nanjun.

Finally, Zhen Yi looked at Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang and then said to Su Xuan: "Worthy son-in-law! This time I have brought Jiang'er and her dowry to you in advance!"

"This is what I am thinking!"

"After you and the Xun Clan are married, we can choose a suitable date nearby to have Jiang'er marry into your home as well. How about that?"

Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang heard this, glanced at Su Xuan, and her pretty face flushed slightly.

"Haha!"

Seeing Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang like this, Su Xuan smiled and nodded to Zhen Yi: "That is fine! Let's arrange it that way!"

"Additionally,"

As he spoke, Su Xuan looked at Miss Zhen Jiang Jiang and said: "Jiang'er, since you have arrived, you can start getting in touch with the affairs of my Su Clan Chamber of Commerce in advance and start helping out;"
