The Lin family's mansion in Yuhangzhou City, adjacent to the long street and facing the river, had already been controlled by the Shen family's tribe at this time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Shen Zhezi came here with the excited princess, and after getting off the ox cart, he pointed to the gate of the mansion and smiled at the princess: "There are many goods here, rare and exotic goods in southern Xinjiang, what you like, take it at will!" ”

"Really?"

There was still a little hesitation on the princess's face, because she had never done such a lawless thing.

Shen Zhezi pulled the princess into the mansion, patted her on the back and said, "His family was bold and reckless, causing you to fall, and now they have all been captured by me." What's the big deal if you take some of his goods to pay for your sins! Even if there is a dispute, you don't have to worry about it. ”

When the princess heard this, her arm felt a faint pain, and when she saw Shen Zhezi working so hard to vent her anger, she was even more overjoyed in her heart, and she didn't know how to express it, so she took Shen Zhezi's arm and shook it, and then rushed to the dazzling pile of goods with cheers.

Jin'an is the Fuzhou of later generations, located in the south of the sea, there are many local specialties such as camphor, agarwood and other spices, and get the benefits of the sea, ivory, tortoiseshell and other treasures, more jewels and gems and many other treasures. Lin's advantage is advantageous and the supply of goods is very profitable.

From the outside, this mansion doesn't look very conspicuous, just an ordinary pavement, but once you enter it, you realize that there is something different. Or because the Lin family was captured in a hurry earlier, the goods in the room were stacked in a mess, and many treasures were scattered on the ground. Many of the flanks are more expensive than gold and silver, but in this mansion they are all too common.

Not far from where Shen Zhezi stood, there was a broken bamboo basket, which was full of tortoiseshell that had never been processed. Looking at it, it is estimated that the goods stacked in front of this mansion alone are worth tens of thousands of dollars! Behind the mansion, there are still several rather large warehouses. It's just that I don't know if someone took advantage of the fire to pick up some bargains during the previous chaos.

Probably the Lin family couldn't imagine that someone in this Yuhangzhou City would dare to act so boldly and directly raid his shop!

This time he did something to the Lin family, in addition to avenging the princess, the most important thing was to dispel the arrogance of the Lin family. Shen Zhezi sat on a hu bed and instructed Liu Chang to collect all the accounts of the Lin family's recent financial transactions.

Accustomed to his own well-formatted and well-organized accounts, and then looking at the Lin family's chaotic bookkeeping, Shen Zhezi was a little uncomfortable. But soon, he was drawn into the contents of the detailed accounts. Not to mention the staggering amount of transactions, the sheer number of transactions alone is astonishing.

The people who appear in this account alone have both north and south, and the locations of the goods are not only limited to Wuzhong and Jiankang, such as Xuancheng, Yuzhang, Wuchang, Jiangxia and even Changsha, almost including most of Jiangdong! Even if he didn't know the profit in it, Shen Zhezi could imagine the huge profit contained in such a big business deal!

It's no wonder that even if Yu Hang and these people occupy the geographical advantage, they still have to bow their heads to the Lin family. People have such a large customer base and are full of confidence, how can they be concommodating because of just a few. If you can't stand this anger, then don't make this money, there are a lot of people waiting in line to do it.

Just seeing the people recorded on this bill, Shen Zhezi realized that there was really a lot of resistance to the Lin family this time. But this did not shake Shen Zhezi's mind, southern goods are a profit point that the business alliance cannot miss, and the current interests of the Shen family have been connected with the entire Wuzhong. Even if all parties are dissatisfied, they are helpless.

The Lin family's geographical advantage is to control the source of goods, while the Shen family's geographical advantage is to live in his family. The Lin family occupies Jin'an, and it has been less than ten years since the full battle, even if it is not small for a while, it does not have the strength to fight with the Shen family. If you don't want to be suppressed for a long time, you can only bow your head and cooperate!

When Shen Zhezi was thinking about it, the princess had already come back after picking things. Seeing what this girl was holding in her hand, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but shudder and regretted bringing her here.

The princess held a small bow carved from white and yellowed ivory, and her tone was not lacking in excitement: "I want to see who can break my bow in the future!" ”

In addition to this bow, the little girl also had a quiver wrapped around her waist, which contained a dozen bony arrows, all of which were polished from tortoiseshell, apparently more decorative than practical.

"Would you like to change to something else?" Shen Zhezi sighed and persuaded: "You are a lady in the boudoir, always playing with bows and arrows, it's really ......"

The little girl took out a rhino horn dagger from her arms, and said to Shen Zhezi with a smile: "Take the others too, I won't be polite, my arm still hurts!" ”

As she spoke, she shook out many of the items she had selected, most of them were such bone weapons and ornaments, or decorated gems and pearls, and she had almost picked out almost all of them in the mansion. Seeing these various kinds of more than ten kinds of blades, Shen Zhezi opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say.

"These two pieces are for He'er, these few pieces will be sent to Aliu when I go back to Jiankang, and ......"

The princess didn't know what Shen Zhezi's mood was, but she was full of interest in classifying the things she had finally picked out, and she thought about it thoughtfully, and even Shen Mu was lucky enough to get one. However, her thoughtfulness made Shen Zhezi sigh with emotion, her mother was always willing to leave Shen Jin in the care of this girl, looking at this situation, you can know what kind of temperament the little brother will be taught when he grows up, and the old lady will regret it sooner or later.

"Why don't you choose anything else?"

Shen Zhezi pointed to a brightly colored tortoiseshell piano board next to him and asked, he hoped that this girl would give up the murder weapons he had chosen.

"No, that's enough!"

Princess Xingnan was very content, waved her hand and said, and then confirmed: "Is it really not necessary to give money?" ”

"That's it, if you like it."

Shen Zhezi asked the servants to come over and register all the things selected by the princess, he didn't plan to pay, but when the dispute with the Lin family was resolved in the future, he always wanted to mean something, indicating that his family was not greedy for his family's wealth, and at that time, the Lin family would not pay attention to these subsections.

Glancing at the mansion that was tossed by the princess, Shen Zhezi ordered again: "Clean up, guard this place, and don't let people come and go at will." ”

Just as he was about to leave, a large bag wrapped in banana leaves in the corner attracted Shen Zhezi's attention. The large package had been poked open by a blunt object, revealing the dark red, mud-like stuff inside, and as soon as his heart moved, he went over and pinched out a piece and put it in his hand to observe for a while, sniffed and picked off a little powder and put it in his mouth, and finally determined that it was brown sugar!

Looking around, there are no less than dozens of packages that are wrapped in sturdy bundles with banana leaves, even if each package is only a few dozen catties, this is also a weight of thousands of catties! Earlier, Shen Zhezi saw that there was a sweet item in the account, and he still didn't understand it, but now it seems that he should be referring to these brown sugars!

"Wrap these banana leaves, pick up a few and bring them back to the village!"

Shen Zhezi threw away the clumped sugar cube in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, and instructed the servant, with a look of excitement in his expression.

The princess came over, and when she saw that the torn packaging revealed something unremarkable, she couldn't help frowning, and said, "You don't choose so many jewelry items, what do you want to do with all this sand?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi's smile became even more cheerful, and he glanced at the princess, even more disdainful of her style of judging preferences by appearance. Speaking of the iced drink made of frosty clay scraped in the toilet, this girl also drank happily. Compared to other luxury goods in the mansion, these earthy brown sugar are truly priceless in his eyes!

It is not surprising that the princess does not know the value of these brown sugars, and even Shen Zhezi only recently developed his own side business to understand the current sugar making skills.

This kind of brown granulated sugar made by pulping with sugarcane juice and then drying is still different from the brown sugar finished products in later generations, and it is just a compromise method adopted by the inconvenience of sugarcane transportation nowadays, and the crude products of simple processing have too many impurities, bitter and sour, and cannot be eaten directly. It needs to be dissolved in water, and then sieved with silk layers to filter out the still clean sugar water, which can be used to make snacks and make various caramel drinks.

But even so, when Shen Zhezi looked through the accounts, the price of this commodity called "sweet cake" was still up to a pound and hundreds of dollars. And that's just the wholesale price, and when it comes to the real place of sale, the price will definitely soar several times!

At the beginning of his actions against the Lin family, Shen Zhezi already had ideas related to sucrose. However, in this mansion, I never saw the fruit cane that people used to juice at the time, and I never saw the word sugarcane in the accounts, so I thought it should exist in another mansion, but I didn't expect it to be in front of me!

"Let's go, go home!"

With this unexpected discovery, Shen Zhezi couldn't wait to give it a try with many ideas in his heart, and he was no longer in the mood to hang out with the princess. Seeing that the servants carried all the banana leaves into the car, they pulled the princess out.

On the way, Shen Zhezi began to think about the decolorization of sugar and the boiling of white sugar, and repeatedly instructed his servants to go to the city to find the tools and materials they needed. The Shen family made such a big disturbance in the Zhou Market, and it was impossible to avoid people's eyes and ears, so he asked people to purchase a lot of goods, but there were only a few things that could really be used to confuse the public.

Back at Yuhang Manor, Shen Zhezi first called Shen Mu and asked him to go to Huiji first, and asked his father to send a county soldier to live in the field of Zhoushi. There is no shortage of strong military forces in the land of Jing and Jiang in business dealings with the Lin family, or some families have the intention of befriending the Lin family and gathering troops to rob people, this matter has to be guarded against.

As for him, he planned to stay in Yuhang for a few days, on the one hand, to deal with the follow-up matters, and on the other hand, he wanted to try to see if he could boil the white sugar. The crude brown sugar dried by the soil method has such a big profit, and the value of the more exquisite white sugar can be imagined!

After sending Shen Mu away, Shen Zhezi invited his uncle Shen Yi to concentrate all his manpower in Yuhang in the manor, and at the same time sent more than a dozen trustworthy Yin Hu craftsmen to the village to listen to it. When the personnel arrived one after another, he ordered someone to set up a cauldron and prepare to dry!
