Chapter 197 Great Wall Bamboo Sea
Yu Tiao saw with his own eyes that Shen Zhezi was able to mobilize nearly 2000 million yuan in wealth with just a few words in Changcheng County alone. There is no lack of pride. At this time, seeing the handwriting of local tyrants in Wuzhong, I feel more and more that there are others.

When the banquet dissipated and everyone left, Yu Tiao couldn't help but sighed to Shen Zhezi: "The wealth in Wuzhong is really extraordinary. Mr. Zhezi has lived in this rich and rich town for a long time. No wonder he is so young that he is proficient in the method of breeding goods. More It is rare that the people of this village have so much faith in Mr. Zhe Zilang, and they responded to every call, tens of millions of resources can be gathered overnight!"

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he said with a smile: "I only inherited the shadow of my father and grandfather, so I have the trust and trust of the villagers. Mr. Yu, you built your family from scratch in the Jingkou area, and you are truly admirable."

"If I had no family background, and Zhe Zilang-jun taught me, I would be just a loafer in Jinling now. There is no one else present, Zhe Zilang-jun is so ridiculous, it makes me feel ashamed."

Yu Tiao has experienced the trials and tribulations of the world, and he already has self-knowledge. Although he is in a happy mood, he does not get carried away by Shen Zhezi's casual praise.After pondering for a while, he was as puzzled as other families in Changcheng County just now, and frowned: "This business alliance proposal is highly sought after in Changcheng County alone. It is time to raise a lot of money to start a great cause, Zhezi why are you Only limited to [-] shares? With these [-] shares, it should be absolutely impossible to catch people from Wuxing and Kuaiji..."

When discussing with Yu Tiao, Shen Zhezi could have less scruples and speak more thoroughly.He said with a smile: "Right now it's just a start-up, and many rules and regulations need to be adjusted and established. It can be seen that there are still many variables in the future. 2000 million assets are enough for now, and if there are more, they are just idle. Too many people are involved, but it makes me It’s hard to be calm when there are too many constraints.”

When Yu Tiao heard this, he was quite touched.He has already passed the initial stage of seeing money, his vision is getting higher, and he is suffering from the bloated system structure of Yinjue. After hearing Shen Zhezi's explanation, he also understands.Since collecting more goods is just empty, there is really no need to involve more people to divide the power.

"At the moment, it is really difficult to enlist all the companies in the two hundred shares, but the capital shares are not static. When the business alliance grows stronger, the shareholders of each family can also ask for a proposal to split the capital shares. Two, for three or even ten or a hundred, it can be bought and sold, and it can also be donated and inherited.”

Shen Zhezi laughed again, the shares of Shangmeng, like Yinjue shares, are allowed to be traded freely, of course stamp duty must be collected.But right now he doesn't have any examples for reference, so he doesn't insist on doing it overnight, and future plans will also change with new variables and developments.

When Yu Tiao heard this, he nodded his head, and said with a smile: "For example, in the pre-Han Dynasty, Han Wu pushed favors and divided capital and shares. Although there are many people, the power is hard to shake."

Hearing that Yu Tiao's comprehension was getting higher and higher, Shen Zhezi also laughed out loud.Although he gradually took back Yinjue's dominance, Yu Tiao must be a good helper he needs to trust. The gradual improvement of his personal ability is also a good thing for Shen Zhezi.

The two talked for a while before going back to their rooms to rest.

The next day, each family came together to have a banquet for Shen Zhezi and the princess, and the venue was in a mountain villa of the Great Wall Qian family located in Yanshan.Hospitality is hard to turn down, and since Wukang is only a day's journey away, there is no need to rush home.

The princess was very interested in being able to leave Yijia and go to other places to play, but when she arrived at Qian's Manor, she found that it was quite different from what she had imagined.The wives from various families in Changcheng County accompanied her to sit and chat in the room, while Shen Zhezi and the others rode into the bamboo sea, which made her jealous and angry.

She also wants to go for a leisurely stroll in the bamboo forest, so what can she say to this group of strange middle-aged women?It's nothing more than rambling about how powerful the Shen family is in the county, and how outstanding Shen Zhezi is in Wuzhong.At first hearing these words, she was kind of secretly pleased, but after hearing them a lot, she gradually became bored.Suffering from not wanting to be disrespectful in front of Shen Zhezi's fellow countrymen, he sat there coyly and awkwardly, full of unease.

Shen Zhezi sneezed several times in the bamboo grove, and the parents of the Qian family next to him hurriedly motioned for a servant to present a brocade robe, and said apologetically, "The bamboo grove is cold and humid, which is different from the scorching heat outside. , we retreated down the mountain."

"It's okay."

Shen Zhezi smiled and waved his hands. His body is becoming stronger and stronger now, and he is no longer as weak as before.Compared with the heat outside, the bamboo forest is quiet and elegant, with cool breeze, it is indeed an excellent summer resort.He felt a little regretful in his heart, he shouldn't be mixed with these old men, it was also a pleasure to walk with the princess in this secluded bamboo forest, admiring the girl's happy and angry gestures.

Wearing a crane cloak with a broad collar, Yu Tiao walked in the bamboo forest path, and laughed with great interest: "This bamboo sea really lives up to its name. Walking in it seems to have no other world, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and it makes people feel refreshed." Clear and smooth, Xun Ran is already drunk. Even I, a dirty person, can't help but have a strange interest."

At that time people loved bamboo, and would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo.Yu Tiao's sentiments also made other people quite agree. The owner of the Qian family smiled and said: "Even if I live in this village for a long time, seeing this magnificent bamboo sea still makes me forget myself, and my long-cherished wish is to bury my bones and clear the village."

The bamboo sea on the Great Wall is indeed magnificent. Even after thousands of years of logging, it is still the most extensive bamboo sea in the south of the Yangtze River in the later generations where Shen Zhezi lived.Nowadays, the mountains, wilds, rivers, and rivers are undercultivated. Everything maintains the thriving natural ecology. This bamboo sea is even more magnificent. It spreads from Changcheng County to Yangxian, Yixing County. The giant bamboos are towering and lush. Walking in it, there is indeed a world. The feeling of being outside the dust.

However, Shen Zhezi didn't feel much interest. What he saw were copper coins all over the mountains and plains.Bamboo is widely used nowadays. Edible bamboo shoots and bamboo stalks, medicinal bamboo fruit and bamboo juice can also be used to make paper, houses, boats, and bridges. They are not only related to people's livelihood, but also extremely important military supplies.Tao Kan's more admirable behavior is to collect discarded bamboo heads in Jingzhou and store them, so that they can be used during the Huanwen Northern Expedition.

Such a large area of ​​bamboo sea is simply a treasure house where you can get whatever you want without restraint at all.The natural growth of the bamboo sea alone can fully supplement this consumption.

Compared with wood, bamboo is lighter, easy to process and use, resistant to water erosion and insects, and grows faster. Although it is far inferior to wood in terms of firmness, it has so many advantages and can be used as a substitute for wood in many aspects.In Shen Zhezi's conception, bamboo is also a bulk commodity that will be transported in large quantities to Jingkou, so today he agreed to the invitation of various companies to take a look at this boundless bamboo sea.

While walking in the bamboo forest, Shen Zhezi listened to the development and utilization of the bamboo sea from various families in Changcheng County.Such a vast bamboo sea is far from being monopolized by one family, and in Changcheng County, which is rich in bamboo, bamboo cannot be sold at a high price.

Moreover, the bamboo joints grow horizontally, and the expansion speed is extremely fast. In the past, the people of Changcheng County not only could not benefit from it, but suffered from it.It is not only necessary to cut bamboo, but also to dig out the roots to prevent the bamboo forest from spreading and encroaching on the few cultivated fields.As for the cut bamboo, except for a small amount used to make various utensils, most of them are used as firewood for burning.

It was not until the Shen family took the lead in dredging the river that the Changcheng County waterway was also connected to the entire Wuxing water network, and the cost of transportation was greatly reduced, and each family benefited from it.Now in Changcheng County, bamboo logging has become a livelihood industry second only to farming and weaving.

Shen Zhezi deliberately rushed to the bamboo cutting field to have a look. A large number of villagers were cutting bamboo here, and the thick and long bamboo poles were piled up in the open space that had just been felled, waiting to be transported.And under the pile of bamboo poles, there are many bamboo shoots breaking through the soil layer and growing upwards, which shows the vigorous vitality of this bamboo sea.

The villagers cut bamboo, regardless of size, and pushed it all the way.In such an environment, it is a joke to think about sustainable development.The speed at which these people cut bamboo is not even as fast as the natural growth of bamboo forests.Among them, the larger ones that are worth selling are selected, and the smaller ones are discarded everywhere to rot.

Seeing this scene, Shen Zhezi felt a little distressed. These discarded bamboo materials are also valuable in some places where there is a lack of bamboo.He didn't know how to dissuade the villagers from such wasteful behavior. Although the Wuxing waterway was smooth, it was impossible to use it to transport all the bamboo.Under the limited transportation capacity, it is natural to choose materials with higher returns.

But it is really not Shen Zhezi's style to let these bamboo materials be wasted, so after walking around the bamboo forest for a week, he gradually made a decision, and discussed with various families in Changcheng County while going down the mountain.

"papermaking?"

Hearing Shen Zhezi's thoughts, everyone couldn't help being a little surprised. In their view, the bamboo sea is inexhaustible, and the human resources are already inexhaustible, so there is really no need to do more.Moreover, papermaking is not a commonly seen technology nowadays. Changcheng County has never had a tradition of papermaking, so there is no transmission of these skills, and it is impossible to gather a large number of papermaking craftsmen.

"That's right, it's papermaking. Nowadays, the foil paper made from bamboo is the top grade of paper. The price is dozens of times higher than that of bamboo, and it's easy to transport and sell to all parties."

The Shen family has a small paper-making workshop, and Shen Zhezi knew about it as early as years ago when he was reorganizing his own business.Foil paper is a kind of writing paper improved by Zhang Mao, who was killed by his father Shen Chong in the early years. It uses young bamboo to extract fibers to make paper, which is a very high-quality paper nowadays.

It has been hundreds of years since Cai Lun in the East China Sea reformed papermaking, but he has not used it everywhere. Nowadays, paper and bamboo slips are still used side by side.Shen Zhezi didn't pay much attention to papermaking in the early days, because his family didn't have mature and favorable conditions, so he prepared from scratch, and the cost performance was not high.

But after seeing so many high-quality raw materials in Changcheng County, Shen Zhezi couldn't hold back.For him, technology is not a problem. If he doesn't understand, he will ask people to develop it. If the research and development is not ideal, he will spend a lot of money to poach people. He brainstorms to simplify the process and put it into mass production. For this reason, he does not hesitate to reduce the quality of some paper.As long as paper can be made, it is much better than seeing these god-given wealth rotted and abandoned in the mountains and forests!
"In terms of manpower and skills, you don't need to worry about it. I will try my best to raise the matter when I return home. Please prepare a mountain forest here and build a few water reels for me. When my house is ready, we will discuss the details with each other. This business is not involved. The Shangmeng is a private business jointly operated by my family and you. The finished products are sent directly to the Shangmeng and collected at market prices."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile that he never shy away from sharing profits with others. The more people he cooperates with, the greater the production capacity can be.

The family members were delighted to hear this.They are not considered strong in the county, and they have doubts about whether they can grab the shares of the business alliance.Right now, there is another business that can be cooperated with the Shen family, and it is a good thing that cannot be refused.

　The Great Wall Bamboo Sea is the current Yixing Bamboo Sea, and Yixing is the Yangxian in ancient times. From Yixing to Changxing, there is a large bamboo sea. I was lucky enough to visit it once. The scale is very large and magnificent, but the prices there are a bit high. . .Let the protagonist occupy this place and cut down all the bamboo to avenge me. . .
