Chapter 39 38. I had a childhood playmate whose surname was Xu (please give me a monthly pass to recommend collecting and reading)

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was rewarded with thousands of pieces of Chu paper... Zhang Zhi was moved.

The agency fees in Yangzhou cost 450,000 yuan a year, and he had to transfer a lot of assets to get the cash.

After paying the remaining agency fees today, the cash in hand is only enough to buy 30,000 pieces of Chu paper...but now there is a chance to get 10,000 pieces of Chu paper for nothing.

He himself also loves calligraphy. Since the Chu paper shop opened, he can only buy Chu paper at high prices from others... which is quite sad.

It's really impossible not to be moved.

In the side hall, the afternoon sun shines in from the window. Although it is not much, it makes people feel warm.

Looking at the thirteen-year-old female sitting on the main seat, feeling the sincere gaze, Zhang Zhi no longer refused and asked with a smile, "May I ask Mr. Chu An, what is the important matter?"

"In recent years, Yangzhou has been fighting for years. The Jianghuai River has experienced droughts, famines, and people have died of hunger thousands of miles away. They changed their sons to eat. Yuan Gongdao proclaimed himself emperor, and everyone rebelled and separated. Sun Bofu, the rebellious general, established himself in Jiangdong." After thinking for a while, Huang Yueying concluded.

The situation in Yangzhou during this period is summarized.

In the past few years, all the major princes have been singing and I have appeared. Even the Yuan family brothers still occupy the main position. Of the three major forces in the later period, only Soochow and Cao Wei have two or three prototypes, and Shu Han... is even more important.

Don't know where it is yet.

In short, the timeline she traveled through was early enough.

Zhang Zhi heard this and nodded with sigh, "What Chu Anjun said is that in Jianghuai today, the people are in dire straits."

"I wonder if shopkeeper Zhang, who sells Chu paper to Yangzhou, goes to the Jianghuai area or Jiangdong area?"

Jianghuai and Jiangdong both belong to Yangzhou.

Zhang Zhi coughed lightly and said, "They are all for sale."

Huang Yueying understood that this shopkeeper Zhang had connections on both sides, so in fact, at any time, you should not underestimate people who can become bigger and stronger.

Of course, she also understood that this piece of paper was, at most, just a middleman, with 30,000 pieces of Chu paper. It was impossible for him to set up a shop in the Yangzhou area. The most likely thing was to sell it to local traders, and the price... was naturally high.

As for how Yangzhou businessmen rob people, it's not something she can control.

In this day and age, doing business is risky, let alone doing business "cross-server".

"Actually, it's like this. I had a playmate when I was young. Due to family reasons, my family moved away from Jingzhou, probably towards Yangzhou." Huang Yueying sighed, "I haven't seen her for five or six years now."

"Would you like me to help you find someone?"

"Exactly."

"I don't know who..."

"Oh, her surname is Xu, I just call her Xian'er." Speaking of this, Huang Yueying couldn't help but miss future generations.

What she remembered was Xu Xian.

"The girl of the Xu family?" Zhang Zhi thought about it for a while. He went through the names of officials from various counties and counties in Yangzhou in his mind. He had several candidates, but he didn't know if they were the right ones.

"Exactly, no matter whether shopkeeper Zhang can find it or not, he can take 10,000 pieces of Chu paper with him first. If relevant information is found, there will be a big thank you later." Huang Yueying then said.

"In that case, I will look for you for the queen. No matter whether I find her or not, I will definitely come to Mianyang again in April or May."

"In that case, I would like to thank shopkeeper Zhang."

"Young lady, you're welcome."

After talking about this, Zhang Zhi stopped staying and went to handle the handover. He took a trip to Yangzhou and asked if there was Xu Xian'er. Ten thousand pieces of Chu paper were obtained... Jianghuai and Jiangdong would each sell 20,000 pieces.

Twenty dollars a piece...

…

"Does Ah Chu still have childhood playmates who went to Yangzhou?" Gan Ning asked curiously after Zhang Zhi left.

Huang Yueying shook her head, "No."

That's right, she is a friend made out of nothing.

"Then..." Gan Ning's eyes widened and he gave away 10,000 pieces of Chu paper for nothing... Are you worried about burning too much money?

"Brother, what do you think of the rebellion against General Sun Bofu?"

"He is a heroic man. Like Xiang Ji, he was known as the Little Overlord in the world, and he has the help of Zhou Lang... Once he gains power, he can ride on the wind and rise." Gan Ning replied without hesitation.

Xiang Ji, surname Ji, Xiang family name, name Ji, courtesy name Yu.

Huang Yueying sighed in her heart. This famous Soochow general in history actually felt that Sun Ce was similar to Xiang Yu at this time. She didn't know if it was destined by God, "Brother, do you know Xu Gong?"

Gan Ning shook his head, "Could it be that...Xu Xianer is related to him?"

"He was killed by Sun Bofu."

"Why?"

"Because Xu Gong and his brother have the same views, he wrote to Cao Sikong to ask Cao Sikong to call Sun Bofu back to the capital and give him more favor. Sun Bofu was ordered to return him. If he were to be left outside, he would cause trouble in the world.

.”

"This..." Gan Ning didn't know what to say.

For a person like Sun Ce, if he was elevated to a high position and given all kinds of glory and wealth... it would be a kind of torture for him.

At this time, he also understood why Sun Ce would kill Xu Gong.

"Brother, do you know how Sun Boxu pacified Jiangdong?"

Gan Ning nodded, "Kill to stop killing."

"The people Sun Bofu slaughtered included many heroes who were willing to die in the service of his disciples..."

"So, I just want to remind him, Sun Bofu, to be careful."

"So I made up a non-existent Xu Xian'er just so that Sun Boxu could occasionally think of Xu Gong? Isn't it too obscure?"

"Sun Bofu may not pay attention, but...someone will."

"Zhou Lang?"

"Maybe it's Zhang Zibu?"

Zhang Zibu, also known as Zhang Zhao.

Gan Ning was confused and Huang Yueying said, "Zhang Zibu is also from Xuzhou...he came to Yangzhou to avoid the war..."

"Achu means...Zhang Zhi is from the same clan as Zhang Zhao...?"

"It's just a guess." Huang Yueying is not sure, because this matter cannot be determined.

Today's aristocratic families, due to the chaos in the world, will drive out their branches or distant relatives, hoping that the family can have more branches to continue.

And Zhang Zhi was able to start a business after his family moved, which means that his original family background was pretty good. You know, aristocratic families have a lot of land and can save a lot of money in a year. In this era, people rely on land to save money.

There are not a few aristocratic families.

Gan Ning looked at Huang Yueying, stood up silently, and pretended to look out the window, "Some of these boys are lazy, let's punish them first for my brother's sake!"

He only felt that he was a little stupid in front of Huang Yueying.

"Brother, go away." Huang Yueying also stood up and walked to the window of the side hall. From this angle... you can't see the guards training, okay?

So he smiled, shook his head, and walked towards his parents.

…

Jiangdong, a certain mansion.

A young man suddenly sneezed, and the bamboo slip in his hand immediately fell on the table.

"Bo Fu, it's cold, so be careful." A handsome young man walked in with a bamboo tube in his hand.

"Hahaha, Gong Jin is joking." Sun Ce laughed, "Why is Gong Jin here now?"

"A few months ago, the emperor granted a title to Chu Anjun." Zhou Yu knelt down in front of Sun Ce.

"Where is Chu'an?"

"I don't know, but when Chu Anjun was twelve years old, oh, that is, the new paper was improved last year, and Chu Anjun is a woman." Zhou Yu opened the bamboo tube and pulled out the Chu paper, "This new paper

, named Chu Paper.”

Sun Ce took it out of curiosity and took a look, "It's as white as snow and quite delicate. It looks much better than Cai Hou's paper. Why is there only one piece?"

"This Chu paper takes two months to make and is very popular among Jingzhou scholars. I spent a lot of money to buy this paper."

"How much?"

"Five hundred dollars." Zhou Yu compared the numbers.

Sun Ce's eyes widened and he stared at the paper for a long time, "It's almost as good as five less! I'll grind the ink!"

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious!" Zhou Yu said helplessly, "I mean, this thing... can be Bo Fu's weapon to appease the Jiangdong nobles!"

Sun Ce stopped and his eyes lit up, "What Gong Jin means is..."
