Chapter 165: The New Forces of Hebei
"Peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The peach blossoms in Lunu City are blooming again, delicate and rouge-colored.
The last time the tender red bloomed was when Zhang Yu was selling wine, and the name of Qixian brewing was first spread in this world.
Now a year has passed, the flowers are still fragrant, the wine is still fragrant, but what is more fragrant is the taste of the white paper.
The former Su family's industry, this large courtyard in the city, has now been transformed into a paper mill by Zhang Yu. This place is guarded by nearly a hundred former wine guards, now called Wujiwei, in batches day and night, and no one who is not close to him must come close to half a step.
At this time, the papermaking technology, after being transformed by Cai Lun, the powerful eunuch of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was much better than the "paper" called "paper" in the previous hemp skin fibers and fabrics. The approximate step is to degum the raw materials in the alkali solution by soaking or cooking in a large vat, and disperse them into fibers; Then the pulping is carried out, which is to cut off the fiber by cutting and pounding, and make the fiber broom, and become pulp; Then there is copying, that is, the pulp is soaked into a slurry, and then the pulp is scooped with a mat, so that the pulp is interwoven into a thin sheet of strong wet paper on the paper grab; Finally, drying, that is, the wet paper is dried or dried, and it becomes paper when it is removed.
The reason why this paper mill is strictly guarded by Zhang Yu is not because of the many large vat of paper making placed in this huge mansion, its secret...... In the cellar.
Except for Zhang Yu, no one knew what was in the cellar.
People only know that after the cellar was built, Wuji Hou once went in it, and then it was always Yan Yun Eighteen who rode his [Wuji Order] to transport boxes of paper out.
This paper is flawless, soft and smooth, like jade, as soon as it came out it caused a sensation, this influence is even better than those fine wines were born, when people called it "jade paper", there is no price, and it is hard to find. And this "jade paper" is to the paper, just like the Jade Emperor is drunk with turbid wine.
Like the Immortal Fang, the newly built "Jade Paper Workshop" also has extremely strict security measures. If you want to enter the workshop, you must have a token, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter even with the identity of Han Long Xiahoulan. As for the cellar in this workshop, the elite of Wuji Wei only received one order from Zhang Yu, that is, those who trespassed into the cellar without an order would be killed.
This order is the same as the wine cellar in Xianfang, and Zhang Yu's reputation and the prestige of Wujiwei have also discouraged many gentlemen and young people in the city.
The benefits of paper are not much smaller than wine. In the past, ordinary paper was already quite precious, but now this fairy-like paper is dedicated, so that the families of all over the world are eager to take a piece of gold leaf and ask for a thin paper. And the Zhang family is still the old routine, the hunger sales method at the end of the Han Dynasty, anyway, there is only one in the whole world, if you don't buy it, there will be none; If you hesitate, others will take the lead.
In this way, the Zhang family made a lot of money and made a lot of money, and those clans secretly scolded the Zhang family for their black hearts, and at the same time smiled and praised Wu Jihou for his natural genius, anyway, they would not be short of money at all, and the money that gave birth to patina could not be spent on the people.
The Zhang family cooperated with the Su family in the wine shop business of the three immortal brews, and the paper of this jade paper was sold, and the Zhang family did not favor one over the other, so they chose to invite the Zhen family to manage it together.
Many times, relationships are always strong because of interests. Even if Zhang Zhen's family is considered to have good traffic in the world, and Zhang Yu is even closer to Zhen Luo, the young lady of the Zhen family, but once he forgets to do something to maintain this relationship, it is only a matter of time before there is a gap.
The Zhen family originally focused on grain and grass, not to mention Zhongshan, and even in Hebei, it was one of the few large grain and grass households. Since the fall of the restrained Wang family, several principals of the Zhen family with good business acumen and ability quickly took the properties under their names into their own hands, and took advantage of Yuan Shao's unstable foothold to merge many merchants, and when the Yuan family reacted, the power of the Zhen family has become difficult to control, and can only start from cooperation.
After all, Yuan Shao at this time, as well as his biggest enemy, Gongsun Zhanhu, were in Youzhou, and they were far from the first princes in the world who would unify Hebei and control Jiqingyou and the four major states in the future.
In addition, the Zhang family and the Su family are mainly engaged in horse trading, and other walks of life are involved. North and South sell, this is a lot of money to count the soft deal, and it is also a weak force can not do and dare not do, see the Spring and Autumn Dynasty master Tao Zhu Gong Fan Li's horse selling deeds.
After more than ten years in the industry, Hebei's business journey is vertical and horizontal, and if the strength of the Zhang and Su families is combined, then there is no need for the Zhen family to be inferior, and it is enough to dominate Zhongshan and move Hebei.
And now, the two weapons of great killing, wine and paper, have become extremely united, and they are tightly tied to the same chariot. And on such a chariot, the person driving is the Marquis of Wuji County, the brother of the Son of Heaven, the first prince in the world, and the youngest leader-level figure in the literary world.
At the very least, Zhang Yu did not hesitate when he rejected Qinghe Cui's proposal not long ago.
Because the woman depicted by the jade is really a little casual in Zhang Yu's eyes, who are used to seeing Diao Xiu'er Zhen Luo...... It's just better than the class flower he had a crush on in junior high school!
"Papermaking, it costs a total of 5,000 reputation points, and the jade paper made plus the bonus of hunger marketing has brought me a total of 7,000 reputation points so far, and the reputation points have reached 9,300 points, and printing can be put on the agenda. When the quantity becomes more and more in the future, the price is lowered, and the white paper is completely popularized, replacing bamboo slips as a writing tool, I am afraid that the prestige I can get on the way to papermaking will exceed 10,000 points......"
Zhang Yu touched his somewhat rough chin, and his mind began to jump out again, thinking about whether to find a craftsman to make a razor to use. finally looked so bad for the country and the people, he didn't want to be forced to go into any sexy, mature and decadent style.
"Childe, the carriage and horses are ready." Jing Shu said to Zhang Yunuo.
"Well, let's go."
"Childe ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Jing Shu received a letter from the clan yesterday, saying that the Xiliang thief army is attacking Luoyang, and the villages along the way are ten rooms and nine empty." As she spoke, Jing Shu's big European-style double eyelids were quickly dyed red.
Jing Shu replied to the letter, asking my father and his people to relocate to Hebei for refuge. Although Jing Shu's time in Zhongshan is still short, she has already seen the thriving scenery here...... I also hope that the prince can help the clan to live in peace and no longer go into exile, Jing Shu is willing to be a cow and a horse......"
"Eh, you are such a beautiful woman, wouldn't it be a pity to be a cow and a horse."
"Childe said and laughed, if Jing Shu is beautiful, why does Childe rarely look at me......" Jing Shu smiled at the corner of her mouth, and on the other hand, she had a pitiful resentment in her eyes, "I'm afraid it's not, Childe is also like those people, and thinks Jing Shu ...... Odd. ”
"Hey, don't think about it, Dontwari~" Zhang Yu smiled and pinched her face, "Why do I think you're weird?" If there is still a big Han person in this world who can find your beauty thrilling, it is me Zhang Yu. ”
"But Childe ......"
"You, it's just that this face is too beautiful, but it's a pity that the appearance is not ordinary, but the figure is mediocre......"
"Childe!"
"Let's go, Jishikan!"
[Sample, if it weren't for your favorability for me, I just passed, and Ben Shao was almost deceived by your actress-level acting skills.
Hey, I still can't be chic and casual, I always want to love one when I last one, and I am responsible for one if I love one...... It's been two years since I got this in the eye, and my ability is getting higher and higher, and my responsibility is getting smaller and smaller......]
A sigh from an old virgin who has been in two lives for more than 20 years.
