Chapter 674
: Lin De travels to the Lin family and witnesses the huge power of Jiangnan’s business ty
Shangyuan County is a bustling market with a lot of people.
Amid the hustle and bustle, a teahouse hidden in the market seems like a quiet place.
In the elegant rooms of the teahouse, the aroma of tea wafts through the air.
Like wisps of smoke, they linger around, adding a sense of leisurely charm to this small world.
The carved wooden window was half-open, and the sunlight was shining through like scattered gold.
It was gently spread on the mahogany table that was polished to a mirror-like shine, giving off a slight warm luster.
The cold woman sat at the table, wearing plain clothes.
She has a graceful figure and extraordinary temperament, just like a fairy who is isolated from the world.
She opened her red lips slightly, and her voice was like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley.
It is gentle and pleasant, and is spoken slowly.
"This jade pendant may look ordinary, but it actually has an extraordinary origin."
Linde, who was standing opposite him, was listening attentively, with a hint of inquiry and curiosity in his eyes.
At this moment, his mind was like a gust of wind, and rumors about the Jiangnan Lin family came one after another.
Linde frowned slightly, his eyes wandering, as if he was lost in thought.
He was very clear that in the economic map of Jiangnan, the Lin family was like a towering and majestic mountain.
It is so magnificent that no one can match it.
The Lin family's businesses are spread all over the country, like stars dotted across the vast land of the south of the Yangtze River, shining brightly.
In particular, the farmlands scattered throughout the south of the Yangtze River are all located in fertile and fertile land.
It is large in scale and extraordinary in momentum.
Looking down from a high place, the farmlands stretch endlessly.
It is like an endless green ocean, with different scenery as the seasons change.
In spring, the wheat waves roll gently, like rippling green waves.
In autumn, rice ears hang low, like the ground covered with gold, showing the magnificence and harmony of the collaboration between nature and human power.
The amount of grain produced by these farms is astonishing.
Not only can it fully meet the daily needs of the large Lin family, but the remaining food is piled up like a mountain.
Lin De, immersed in his fantasy, leaned forward slightly and said slowly: "The wealth of my Lin family farm is known to everyone.
Those grains are the foundation of the Lin family."
The cold woman sitting not far away nodded slightly, with a faint smile on her lips.
Yes, the Lin family not only manages the farm well, but their management philosophy is even more commendable."
The Jiangnan Lin family relied on their extraordinary business acumen to carefully package the surplus grain.
It was transported to various places for trade through the extensive trade routes.
Those grains were like endless streams of wealth, continuously flowing into the Lin family's treasury, making the Lin family's wealth grow like a snowball.
The management of the farm is even more orderly.
Like a precision clock, each component performs its function and operates precisely.
The Lin family employed a large number of tenants and farmhands, who were like indispensable gears in the huge machine of the farm.
Small, but crucial.
The tenants worked hard in the fields, facing the loess and their backs to the sky, sweating.
The farmhands were responsible for a variety of chores, from the busy work of irrigating the fields to the meticulous work of repairing farm tools.
There is someone responsible for everything, and everything is in order.
The Lin family treated the people who worked for them with great care.
Lin De, who put himself in the shoes of the head of the family, could not help but sigh: "The Lin family can be what it is today, thanks to the hard work of these tenants and farmhands."
The cold woman's eyes softened as she asked softly, "I heard that the Lin family cares deeply about them, is that true?"
Linde nodded slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Of course it's true. On weekdays, my family would send a butler to travel between the farms and chat with the tenants.
Ask about their living conditions, whether they are short of food and clothing, and whether they have any problems.
Every time the butler visited the farm, he would bring the Lin family's care and greetings.
When the tenants saw the housekeeper, they were not unfamiliar with him. They gathered around him and told him about their lives.
This kind of care is not superficial, but goes deep into the lives of the tenants.
Because of this, the Lin family and their tenants always maintained a harmonious relationship, and the entire farm was filled with a warm atmosphere of mutual help and respect.
During every festival, the festive atmosphere blows through the streets and alleys like a spring breeze.
The Lin family will never forget those who have contributed to their family.
Abundant supplies were prepared early on, including rice, flour, grain and oil, all of which were carefully selected top quality.
Cotton-padded clothes and quilts are also thick and warm.
When the tenants received these supplies full of care and gratitude from the Lin family, simple and sincere smiles appeared on their faces.
That smile was like the warm sun in winter, warming the hearts of the tenants and strengthening the deep friendship between the Lin family and them.
This friendship is like a fine wine, which becomes more mellow and richer as time goes by.”
In addition, the Jiangnan Lin family’s shops are like shining pearls, inlaid in the commercial landscape of Jiangnan and even the whole country.
These shops mainly sell various Jiangnan specialties such as silk, porcelain, tea, etc. Each of them carries the unique charm and exquisite craftsmanship of Jiangnan, and their business is extremely prosperous.
The Lin family had a keen eye for location selection for their shops, and without exception, they were all located in prosperous commercial areas.
When you step into the shop, the first thing that catches your eye is the exquisite decoration.
The store is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, and the wooden structure is carved with delicate and exquisite flowers, birds, fish, insects, and mythological stories, which are lifelike, as if integrating the elegance and cultural heritage of Jiangnan.
The famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls complement the displayed goods and add a strong cultural atmosphere.
The shelves for placing goods are all made of high-quality mahogany.
Simple and elegant, yet grand.
The cold woman asked curiously, "I heard that the goods in the Lin family's shop are all top-grade. I wonder what's so special about this silk?"
Lind stood up and walked to the shelf, picked up a piece of silk and gently unfolded it.
“Look at this silk, it is all made of high-quality silk from Jiangnan, carefully woven by experienced weavers.
Its texture is soft and smooth, as delicate as flowing water.
The colors are bright and long-lasting, and the patterns are exquisite.
Whether it is the colorful clusters of flowers or the simple and elegant cloud and water patterns, they all show the unique charm of Jiangnan silk."
The cold woman reached out and stroked the silk, nodding slightly.
“It really lives up to its reputation.
What about this porcelain?"
Linder put down the silk and picked up a piece of china, holding it up to the light.
“This porcelain comes from famous kilns such as Jingdezhen, where craftsmen use their exquisite skills to give the clay a soul.
The fired porcelain has a delicate and white body and a glaze as smooth as jade.
The patterns are painted in great detail, and each piece, whether it is the elegant blue and white porcelain or the gorgeous pastel porcelain, is a work of art.
The tea sold by the Lin family is carefully selected from high-quality tea gardens across Jiangnan.
From picking to production, each process is strictly controlled to ensure the fresh taste and mellow aroma of the tea.
Whether it is the fresh and elegant Longjing or the rich and fragrant Biluochun, both can make tea drinkers intoxicated.
Lin's Shop has always maintained a good reputation and high-quality service, treating every customer warmly and attentively.
The store staff are all well-trained and know the characteristics, origin, and uses of all kinds of goods.
Be able to patiently and carefully recommend suitable products based on customer needs.
No matter whether you are a noble or an ordinary person, when you walk into the Lin family shop, you will feel at home. " (End of this chapter)
