It's July, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even if you sit indoors, you still sweat like rain, even if there are a few wisps of wind, they are also soft and weak.

The water in the bamboo forest murmurs around the pavilion, and the bamboo pavilion is surrounded by a light veil to block mosquitoes. Everyone in the pavilion only wore a cool shirt and sat on the ground, each living in a corner. In the middle of the pavilion, there is a huge bamboo bucket, which is full of sour plum and mung bean soup, and there are still many ice cubes floating in the soup, and wisps of white water vapor float around the whole bucket.

Yu Tiao stood up and walked to the bamboo bucket and scooped a full cup of soup with a bamboo spoon to drink, exhaled heartily, still holding a small piece of crystal ice in his mouth, stretched his waist and sighed: "This weather is ......."

"Silence!"

An impatient voice sounded in the pavilion, and the middle-aged man held the account file in one hand, dialed the plate in the other, and occasionally freed up one hand to write the results of the operation on another blank piece of paper. The sweat on her face gathered on her chin, and a maid walked up lightly, gently wiped the sweat with a silk towel soaked in ice water, and then quickly retreated. During this process, the counter did not raise his head, and the maid did not make a sound.

Reprimanded, Yu Tiao smiled, and returned to his bookcase. If he had been scolded like this in the past, he would definitely have changed his color, but in this focused and professional atmosphere, his mind subconsciously became calm. In the past period, he has seen with his own eyes the ability of these accountants, and the files of several large carts can be sorted out in a mere day or two.

For this group of professional people, Yu Tiao also admires from the bottom of his heart, and is full of envy, and hopes that he can also have such a group of talents for him to listen to.

After sitting down, Yu Tiao's hand touched the polished and smooth abacus on the bookcase, and there was no lack of amazement in his expression. This abacus operation is much more complicated than the calculation, and he has been studying it for the past few days, but he still can't use it proficiently. However, the arithmetic power and accuracy are far from being comparable to the arithmetic chips, and once they are skillfully used, after sitting on the desk, the fingers are lightly plucked, the sound is clear and pleasant, such as the strings tuned by the bare hands, and the posture is much more beautiful than lying on the table and fiddling with the arithmetic chips.

Thinking like this in his heart, Yu Tiao's eyes couldn't help but look at a middle-aged man with scars on his left side, he didn't know what this person's name was, but he just listened to the call of Mr. Qian. At first glance, the criss-crossing scars on Mr. Qian's face were a little terrifying, but his demeanor and conversation were good, which was not much better than that of famous children. Especially the skillful and very charming posture of the other party when he played with the abacus, which made Yu Tiao feel envious.

During this period of time, he saw many novel people and things in the Shen family, which made Yu Tiao amazed and surprised, but also deeply felt that the name of the Shen family, the head of Jiangdong, was well deserved. Only in such an environment that is good at management and management can we cultivate a young man like Shen Zhezi, who is very precocious and almost demonic.

It's a pity that Shen Zhezi can't hear many of Yu Tiao's thoughts, otherwise he would have to praise this guy for not being what he used to be, and he does already have the wisdom to know people.

Seven or eight days have passed since the wedding, most of the visiting guests have left, and my father has returned to the Huiji office. Although the family is still feasting and drinking every day to entertain the villagers, many affairs are back on track.

After a few days of leisure, Shen Zhezi threw himself into the busy labor again. The summer tax escort and the early rice harvest collide together, both of which require a lot of manpower.

Especially for early rice harvesting, farming was concentrated in just a few days, although the acres of the Shen family Dongzong itself were reduced, but because the cooperative gathered too many villagers, tens of thousands of hectares of rice fields in the county were harvested, manpower co-ordination, rice grain transportation, threshing and storage, all of which needed to be arranged by the Shen family.

Fortunately, Shen Zhezi doesn't have to do everything himself, and these things have a corresponding personnel structure. But the burden on his body is still not light, and he has accumulated a lot of affairs in the past few months when he went to Jiankang. Although Qian Feng can share some of it, his identity is not visible after all, and many things are backlogged for Shen Zhezi to deal with.

After the old things are done, they turn to the new things. Nowadays, these accounting teams at home are calculating the differences between various prices in Jingkou and Wuzhong, as well as collecting the number of many businessmen in Beijing in the past few years to estimate the approximate size of the Jingkou market. These data are messy and complicated, and it is not easy to collect, and it is even more difficult to liquidate.

Thanks to Yu Tiao's help, as well as the information provided by those friends on the front line of Jingkou, the data collected by Shen Zhezi now, although it is impossible to be completely missing, is also inseparable. With such a large amount of computation, a little omission due to the lack of data is still within the acceptable range.

These materials will be used as a reference later for the structure of the business alliance. Now that the Shen family is preparing to contact various families in Wuzhong to form a business alliance, the matter of transferring materials to Jingkou and selling goods has spread in Sanwu, and many people have expressed their desire to get a piece of the pie. Dad was so annoyed by this, so he patted his ass early and returned to Huiji, and threw these things to Shen Zhezi.

At present, the business alliance is still only a framework concept, and the specific details have not yet been finalized. But even so, there are already many people who want to book shares, and the share capital has risen from 100,000 yuan per share set by Shen Zhezi at the beginning, to 500,000 yuan per share now!

Some of them have a long-standing friendship with the Shen family, such as the Wucheng Xu family and other families who enthusiastically followed their father's rebellion earlier, and have already sent money and goods to Longxi Village early. For Shen Zhezi, it is also a happy trouble. He still underestimates the acceptance of new things and his own prestige, looking at this posture, like the two hundred shares he originally ordered, it is not enough for these people in Wuzhong to divide up!

Shen Zhezi's original plan was to raise 20 million yuan, but only in Wuxing County, the intended assets have exceeded 50 million yuan! The goods that have been forcibly sent now alone have piled up tens of thousands in Longxi Village. Earlier, it was difficult to leverage the private wealth of the people, but now with the frequent transactions in Wuzhong, the hoarding of goods by each family is surging, but due to the shortage of goods, there is even a more obvious inflation situation in Wuxing, which is also something that Shen Zhezi did not expect.

But it can already be reflected from this matter, at least in Wuxing, the Shen family's appeal has even exceeded the control of the county government and even the imperial court.

Wuxing's tax revenue in the first quarter of this summer has even far exceeded the total tax payment of the previous year! It is conceivable that after the tax is put into the treasury this summer, Yutan will have a new official reward. In particular, a large part of the municipal tax is attributed to the Taiwanese capital of the officials of Taiwan Province, and the large increase in the municipal tax is definitely a political achievement that can win a large number of impression points for Yutan.

The old gentleman's journey to the second spring again, earlier in Taicheng was originally Zong Zhengqing's illness and returned to his hometown, if he was promoted back to Taichung, or he had to go straight to Shangshu and Zhongshu, and the lowest starting point was Jiuqing. Before his father left home, Shen Zhezi asked him to have a deep talk with Yu Tan, and he didn't want the old man to leave Wuxing. There is already a tacit understanding between each other, and if a new county guard comes over, this tacit understanding still needs to be re-cultivated. At least before the operation of the business alliance matures, Shen Zhezi does not want Yu Tan to leave office.

Fortunately, Yu Tan does not have the idea of drilling into the center like the second prince of the Lu family, although his sense of existence is slightly lower in Wu Xing's office, but his political achievements are rich. In addition, with Shen Chong, the foundation of cooperation with each other is very deep. Living Shaogong is close to home, and Yu Tan even plans to retire in Wu Xing. Even if Taichung wants him to leave office, he can't help but ask him for his own thoughts.

The local situation is very good, and at this point, the Shen family can be said to have really reached the fast lane of adversity and enterprising, sitting at the top gate. As long as there is no catastrophe that will bring down the society, it will no longer be able to stop the rise of the family.

After all, Yu Tiao didn't have the patience to bury himself in the pile of papers and make the abacus, and after sitting for a while, he came to Shen Zhezi's side lightly, still holding a cup of sour plum soup floating with ice cubes in his hand, and said with a low laugh: "Drinking ice in midsummer is really a good product to cool off." It's a pity that I don't have too many ice cellars to store ice at home, so it's hard to get it. ”

Seeing Yu Tiao drinking the sour plum soup with an intoxicated face, Shen Zhezi thought about it, but he still didn't plan to tell this guy the true origin of these ice cubes.

Taking ice cellars in winter and drinking in summer to cool off is the usual means of various families nowadays. It's not easy to build and maintain an ice cellar, and it costs a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, no matter how rich the family is, they are thrifty in using ice in summer, but this does not include the Shen family.

Now the Shen family not only has the master free to use ice, but the servants also have a lot of ice every day, and even the many villagers who harvest in the fields have a large supply of cold soup. The earth-made ice method is a means that Shen Zhezi wanted to put into practice at the beginning, and in the past two years, the process has finally been polished and matured, and it can be mass-produced.

As for the saltpeter used, it was originally extracted from the frosty white clay collected from the renovation of the Zhuang people's dwellings in previous years, but this was also a small amount. In addition, Shen Zhezi still has a heart to climb the science and technology tree, and part of the research and development of gunpowder is consumed. As for the nitrate used to make ice now, it is collected by the "nitrate collectors" in the manor by scraping the toilets. Although purification and extraction can remove impurities, and ice is also refrigerated in compartments, the way is too crude.

Therefore, although the villagers are happy to use ice, most of them don't know the ice used, which is also washed out by them by soaking urine and urine.

The saltpeter used to make ice can be recycled, so ice cubes in summer are also one of the commodities that Shen Zhezi plans to sell in Jingkou.

A figure lingered outside the gazebo for a while before poking his head out from behind the tent, it was the maid in the princess's room. Seeing this, Shen Zhezi got up and walked out, and listened to Yun Zhi whisper: "Auntie called Lord Lang and the princess to dinner, and the princess asked the maid to ask Lord Lang when he would be able to have time here?" ”

Shen Zhezi glanced at the people who were still busy in the pavilion, waved his hand and said, "Let the princess go first, I still have a lot of things here, I can't get out of it, and I will eat with my uncle of the Yu family later." ”
