I decided on the sake thing.

Zhen Yao was overjoyed.

He went to Jixian Mansion and wholesaled enough wine and salt.

In order to thank Yuan Xi, the price of salt was given at a full price of --- 10,000 yuan a stone.

Twenty stone of salt was wholesaled at one time, worth 200,000 yuan.

The price of the wine was 800 yuan, and 5,000 bottles were wholesaled, worth four million yuan.

........................

Just walked on Zhen Yao's front foot.

The guards of the paper mill brought in newly made white paper.

All kinds of large machines are driven by steam engines to crush bamboo, remove impurities, bleach, and then squeeze it by gravity of a press to make sheets of white and flawless paper with the fragrance of bamboo.

Yuan Xi took a pen and wrote two words on a piece of paper----Xi paper!"

"Childe..."

Xun Chen heard that the white paper was born, and ran to the Thorn Mansion with great expectations.

Seeing the words Yuan Xi mentioned on the white paper, Xun Chen praised: "Good words, good paper..." ”

"Mr. Xun try it, how is the quality of this paper?" Yuan Xi handed the brush to Xun Chen.

Xun Chen held it in his hand, and he was reluctant to put down the pen.

He remembered that the ordinary white paper, made of hemp and tree bark, was rough enough to be easy to write. Each time the pen is dropped, the ink spreads, distorting the glyphs written.

The most important thing is that it has a short lifespan and can only be stored for a few years.

It will be damaged after a few years.

Xun Chen carefully looked at the Xi paper made by Yuan Xi, which was white and flawless, and of excellent quality, and asked, "Childe, how many years can this paper be kept?" ”

"Decades."

Yuan Xi replied casually.

In fact, he didn't know how many years he could keep. Just a guess made based on the quality of the paper and the comparison of the paper of later generations.

Xun Chen said with joy: "As soon as Xi paper is born, bamboo slips and silk silks will be useless. All the rich forces will compete to buy it. Childe will no longer have to worry about food and salary in the future. Xi paper, fine salt and jade liquor can fill all expenses. ”

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi is also very confident.

With these three things, money and grain will enter Youzhou like flowing water, enriching Youzhou's treasury. Whether it is used for the military, relief of the people, or the purchase of all kinds of animals, there is a stable source.

"The salt factory in the Yellow Sea, He Mao sent heavy troops to garrison, there will be no accidents. The Xi paper, qiong syrup and jade liquor in our Jixian County should also have protective measures, and the method of making it must not be leaked. Yuan Xi said.

"Don't worry, Childe, I'll go and select reliable soldiers now, and station them around the paper mill and distillery, so that not even a single mosquito can come and go freely. Anyone who enters or leaves the paper mill and distillery must have the permission of Childe. Xun Chen said.

"With your arrangement, I will rest assured." Yuan Xi nodded.

"Retire from your duties."

After Xun Chen left.

Yuan Xi leaned back in his chair and turned on the beast system.

Grade: 4

Experience: 70321/100000

Control: 15541/100000

Beast Crystal: 290

Mission 1: Control 1 beast and gain 10 experience points.

Options: Control, Enhanced, Recycling, Marketplace

Looking at the poor 290-point beast crystal, Yuan Xi's mood sank to the bottom.

In preparation for the upcoming war, Yuan Xi decided to buy all kinds of animals from the people of Youzhou. As long as it is four-legged and covered in hair, it meets the conditions for control and recycling.

When you have gathered enough tens of thousands of beast crystals, you can buy a powerful prehistoric behemoth. Whether it is Tuoba Xianbei, Eastern Xianbei, Yuan Tan, or Yuan Shang, they are all rookies. Minutes of hanging.

The following month.

The governments of all counties and counties in Youzhou have posted notices.

According to the market price, a large number of cats, dogs, cattle, sheep, deer....

After collecting, it is transported to Jixian County.

During this period.

Youzhou's furniture, fine salt, Xi paper, and jade liquor have all developed rapidly and become mainstream items in the business world. The object of competition among major families. In particular, Xi paper has won the love and praise of literati and scholars.

Some Confucian scholars who like to dance and write ink have taken refuge in Youzhou Thorn Mansion.

The family that saw Yuan Xi's potential also took the initiative to take refuge in Yuan Xi, which greatly enhanced Yuan Xi's strength.

Hu Yang, who had wholesaled Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquor in Yuan Xi's hands before, relied on continuous wholesale and sales to earn the price difference, and the Hu family in Jixian County has developed rapidly, and there is hope to squeeze into the ranks of the great family in Hebei.

Li Mingshan, who returned to Qinghe County to get money, also wholesaled wine and paper twice in a row, which not only won the attention of the Li family's high-level officials, but also got rid of his current predicament and became the best candidate for the Li family's power.

The one who benefited the most was the Zhen family!

The Zhen family is a big family, with full authority to act as an agent for fine salt, Xi paper, and jade liquor, and the wholesale volume is very large, and it has been promoted to various states in Hebei, and the families who are good friends with the Zhen family are countless, making the Zhen family's industries and assets countless times more.

Mid-October.

Winter is coming.

A shocking and sad news came from Yecheng, Jizhou!

Yuan Shao drank a bottle of Qiong Jelly Jade Liquid Wine in his mansion, fell into a coma, and never woke up. The doctors diagnosed that it was caused by excessive drinking, which hurt the spleen, stomach and liver.

Yuan Shao's funeral queen...

Yuan Shao's civil and military officers were all panicked.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and Ju Yi, who held the military power, decisively ordered a ban on Yecheng under the signal of frustration, and no one was allowed to move, let alone open the city gate.

The Bingzhou army stationed in Huguan marched into Wei County with lightning speed.

Yuan Tan of Qingzhou also raised 150,000 troops, crossed the Yellow River, and entered the plain.

Their purpose is obvious, they want to wait for the opportunity to occupy Yecheng on the grounds of mourning. Because in Yecheng, there are a large number of weapons, armor, food, chariots and horses, etc., if anyone gets Yecheng, the military strength will increase several times.

On the occasion of the great chaos in Hebei.

The families of various families also began to take action.

Whether it is supporting Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang, or supporting Yuan Xi, they are all actively raising food. Those who have money contribute money, and those who have power to contribute. Trying to help their forces, take control of Hebei.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, as the largest family in Hebei and Yuan Shao's big grain depot, supported Yuan Xi without hesitation. They transported all the food they could mobilize to Zhuo County in Youzhou.

The Zhen family's mansion and property have all been closed.

The two brothers took their families and took refuge in Youzhou.

Yuan Shao's death plunged Hebei, which was seemingly peaceful, into an unprecedented crisis. Troops and horses are frequently mobilized in various places, and an unprecedented civil strife is about to break out!

Youzhou.

None.

Inside the Assassin's House.

Civilians and military gathered.

Yuan Xi rolled up a paper map and hung it in the hall.

Chen Deng spoke first: "The current situation is very unfavorable for us. Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang have already sent troops, and it may be that Yecheng has fallen into Yuan Shang's hands. And we have to resist the alliance of Tuoba Xianbei and Eastern Xianbei. If you ignore the danger of Daijun and rashly send troops, Daijun is very likely to fall. The most terrifying thing is Cao Cao in Yanzhou, will he take advantage of the civil strife in Hebei to raise troops for the Northern Expedition? When it comes, it's dangerous... ”
