Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 255
In the mountain forest behind the Taoist temple, there is a small river flowing, and there are giant trees around it, which are lush and inaccessible.

However, the mountain forest at this time is not quiet. There are more than a dozen shirtless and strong men scattered in the forest, wielding sharp-edged machetes with their strong arms, cutting down the trees, and some people have repaired the branches along the stream. The giant tree was dragged along the stream to a remote place, hiding behind rocks and weeds.

"Speed ​​up your hands and feet! It's getting late, and Liu Lang will be back later, don't let him find out that we are stealing other people's trees!"

A head of the Du family's trilogy roared, while chopping down the branches of trees that fell on the ground, he pointed to a strong man not far away and whispered, "Feng Er, I asked you to contact the buyer. Have a clue? The available goods are about to be exhausted. If there is no more goods to enter, what will I use to support you group of meaty and dissatisfied big bellies? Do you want Liulang to sell behind my back? What's the use of it?"

The strong man named Feng Er said angrily after hearing the words: "raccoon dogs are hateful! Most of them don't want to talk to me when they hear that I have a foreign accent. Even if there are a few of them to talk about, the price is extremely low!"

Hearing this, Na Shichang paused for a moment, with a distressed expression on his face: "It is already illegal for us to steal other trees. These trees are piled up here, and the hidden danger is greater. If something happens, it will affect the reputation of the owner's family." , I’ll wait for death to pay for it! Forget it, don’t worry about the price, get rid of these trees early.”

"If you want me to say, since it's all theft, why should we show our power to the grass and trees in this mountain forest? Why don't we take advantage of the Qinhuai River at night and plunder money along the way. The ancestor of Yuzhou did this in the early years. Not inferior to the great achievements of the ancestor Yuzhou, Yu Jiasheng has..."

One person was talking in a low voice, when he looked up by chance, he froze in place, pointed at the hillside not far away and said in a trembling voice: "Liu, Liulang..."

Du He walked over with heavy steps, looked at those sweaty bare arms, his lips fluttered, he didn't know what to say, but his eyes were full of tears.

Seeing this, Na Shichang immediately dropped the machete in his hand on the grass. After a moment of astonishment, he hurried forward and knelt on the ground, and said in a shy voice, "Don't blame others, Liu Lang, he was forced by his subordinates..."

Hearing this, tears rolled down Du He's eyes, he bent down and pulled up the singer, choked up and said: "What face do I blame you all? I, I... I only hate that I don't have the style of my ancestors, I can't Take on the family business in peril. Tossing the end of the world, wandering in a foreign land, you will not abandon me because of my stupid talent, I, "

"Liu Lang, don't say this! The world's ups and downs, ups and downs, are mostly due to chance. We have received the kindness of the Lord's family for many lifetimes, how can we turn our backs lightly! If we can't help the young master to revive the family business, we will survive this calamity What's the use!"

Seeing Du He's emotions so far, these parts of the Du family were also deeply moved, and they all knelt down and said with emotion.

After many tribulations, and now it is a difficult time, seeing this group of loyal trilogy still follow each other, Du He felt even more emotional.He wiped away the tears from his face, took off his robe, stood on tiptoe and threw it on the branch, and then said with a smile: "The clothes are still visible, but don't get dirty."

After he finished speaking, he picked up a knife that fell to the ground from a follower, waved his arm and growled, "It's getting dark, pack up and go down the mountain!"

"Six Lang can't!"

When Na Shichang saw this, he hurried forward to stop him, but Du He pushed him aside, slashed the knife in his hand, and said with a casual smile: "This body can wear a seal of honor, and can hold a thief's knife. Master and servant are one body. How can my young lord be such a clean spring that this person despises? The old things are over! This body will not die, and will eventually be resounding in the world!"

As he said that, he had already bent down and slashed on the log with a knife, and the slanting branches fell in response: "This knife is worth ten coins. If you don't do nothing all day long, you have to eat extra meals at night to encourage yourself!"

When everyone saw this, they stopped trying to persuade them. They just sped up their actions and quickly cleaned up the felled trees. Then the master and servants washed in the stream, changed their clothes, and walked around the back of the mountain, as if returning from an outing. Taoist temple.

After nightfall, Du He could not fall asleep for a long time.The events of this day touched him greatly, he lay on the couch tossing and turning, his mood was sometimes depressed and sometimes excited.

After a long time, he suddenly turned over from the bed and sat by the window. After lighting the lamp, he took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote vigorously, as if he wanted to pour all the loneliness, anger and depression that had accumulated in his chest for a long time in the past to the tip of the pen. between.

Unknowingly, the sky has brightened.

When the servant knocked on the door and walked in, he was immediately startled by the situation in the room, and saw Du He sitting in front of the desk as if in a daze, writing a book.And on the ground beside him, there were a lot of papers full of handwriting.

Du He turned a deaf ear to the servant's call, and with the loneliness and anger in his chest, he wrote down all the merits and regulations he knew, but still felt that the meaning was not enough, so he simply continued to write quickly, writing down what he had learned in half his life, Put all his views on the current situation in the North and South into writing.

Time gradually arrived at noon, the ink stains in the inkstone had dried up, and Du He couldn't write any more words, so he threw away the brush, got up and paced back and forth in the room, and by the way, sorted out what he had written from last night until now. Put it in a wooden box, handed it to the servant who had been wandering outside the door for a long time, and ordered: "Send this thing to Shen Yuan, and tell the disciples of Shen's family, if Shen Lang doesn't watch this, he will regret half his life!"

After finishing speaking, Du He turned back indoors and fell asleep.

------

After returning to the capital, Shen Zhezi and his party first entered the Princess Mansion located in Wuyi Lane.

After resting overnight, Shen Zhezi called Diao Yuan, Ren Qiu and others who were in charge of the capital in the early morning of the next day, and talked about the operating conditions of various industries in the capital during the period when he was away from the capital as usual.

Now the Shen family's most profitable business in the capital is naturally Nanyuan, which almost monopolizes the entire Jiankang luxury consumer market.To put it more hypocritically, these rich and powerful people in Duzhong do not need to know what they need, they only need to buy various new products of Nanyuan every season, and they can enjoy the most sophisticated and exquisite life nowadays.

For the management of Nanyuan, Shen Zhezi has always followed a philosophy, which is luxury, high-end and scarcity.This kind of business philosophy will not only be popular in later generations, but also deeply cut into the pulse of the times.Those high-ranking and powerful people have their eyes above the top and think they are superior to others, so much so that they hate to live in the same sky and drink from the same river with the poor and humble.If conditions permit, she will be so arrogant to the sky.

Stupid people and a lot of money are the characteristics of the Jiankang market.The previous market commodities and production technology could not completely distinguish the high-school from the low-school, so many high-school disciples turned to unconventional clothing and alchemy. He never gets tired of it, and puts himself into it without thinking about himself.

The emergence of Nanyuan has completely solved the quality of life requirements of the disciples of the high school, which is different from the common customs. Therefore, all the families in Duzhong are obsessed with Nanyuan products to the point of madness.For example, the Zhangwu Wang family who cried poor in front of Princess Xingnan many times earlier, even though the current family situation is not as good as before, they still have huge sums of more than one million yuan in the Nanyuan account all the year round.

The pre-deposit payment for each account opening is a rule established by Shen Zhezi in order to put an end to the bad habit of the clans forming a group to fight the autumn wind at the beginning of Nanyuan's business.As long as you open an account in Nanyuan and deposit a certain amount of money in advance, you will be given a certain amount of Nanyuan Exchange Tickets every month and quarter to buy some special products.

Whether it's Nanyuan's redemption bills, or the gold banknotes circulating within Yinjue and the Shangmeng, in fact, strictly speaking, they cannot be counted as currency.It is only a kind of evidence used for settlement within the industry, and it does not have universal circulation, and if it cannot be circulated, it loses the greatest attribute of currency.But even so, at least in the business alliance and other industries, because of the existence of this settlement certificate, a lot of management costs are saved.

Speaking of the issuance of these bills, Shen Zhezi also swallowed bitterly.A lot of technical improvements have been made in anti-counterfeiting, storage, etc. Although the finished product meets the requirements, the cost has not been kept down.The gold bills are worth it. The bills such as the Nanyuan exchange bills, which are mainly aimed at the rich and powerful, are all perfect in terms of workmanship and materials. Regardless of purchasing power, they are valuable exquisite handicrafts in themselves.

The prosperity of Nanyuan inevitably made Shen Zhezi rejoice that as early as the beginning of Nanyuan's operation, he used means to transfer the real estate where Nanyuan was located out of the Princess Mansion.It's not that he wants to distinguish between internal and external with the princess, but that the Shaofu itself has certain jurisdiction over the property of the princess's mansion. Naturally, Shen Zhezi can't allow others to dictate his own property, so as to prevent problems before they happen, it seems right now.

After all, Nanyuan is in the middle of the capital, under the nose of the Shaofu, it's not as good as those Dudai industries in Wuxing Township.Money touches people's hearts. Seeing the prosperity of Nanyuan, it is impossible for the officials in the Shaofu not to be envious, but now they have no reason to intervene.

In addition to the thriving industry, there is another problem that restricts the development of talents.Now not only Diao Yuan, Ren Qiu and other subordinates of the Princess House are in charge of a large number of affairs, but other subordinates also have no free time.Even Yunzhi, the maidservant of the princess, and Guaer, the maidservant of Shen Zhezi, are now in charge of receiving the rich and powerful women in Nanyuan.

For talents, Shen Zhezi's request has always been to prefer shortages to excesses, and would rather slow down the development speed a little, and never force others to cause irreparable losses.Like Shen Peizhi, the uncle of the famous family that Shen Zhezi devoted himself to training, he has never had any ability to do things, and Shen Zhezi has always left him in the Shen Garden to hang out with those famous people, and never delegated any job.

As for other talented people in the family, Shen Zhezi would rather spend money to keep them in captivity at home, so that they would be drunk and dreamy, and would not let them out to cause trouble for him.

Generally speaking, the management structure of the Shen family's various industries is still very clear.On the one hand, the supervision is effective, and on the other hand, it is far from reaching the limit of development, but everyone in charge is well aware of this point. For a grander and grander vision, they would rather give up the small profits that are at their fingertips.

In terms of talent gap, apart from building a talent training echelon within Shen Zhezi, the most important thing right now is to recruit from outside.Although he is not yet in charge, and he does not have a valid reason to enlist vassals or recruit students, there are not a few people who come to contribute every day.After all, compared to the rarity of talents, suffering from lack of advancement is especially harmful to the poor.

In the afternoon, the students of the Shen family sent several large boxes of famous visiting cards or letters of dedication. Shen Zhezi pointed to the boxes and said to Ren Qiu and the others with a smile: "The critical moment to witness the fate of my family is coming again. gone."

　Third watch. . .In fact, many words will evolve different meanings in different periods, and the meanings of words are not static.For example, chrysanthemums... In modern times and even in recent times, the crowns were indeed used to satirize nepotism and gain unjust gains.But in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, friends playing the crown were even an expression of deep friendship and unshakable status on certain occasions. . .So don't worry about it. . .
