Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 162 Papermaking and Chamber of Commerce
Yiji originally wanted to go south to seek refuge with Liu Biao to earn a living.

Who knows, Cao Ren took him captive to Chenliu before the action was implemented.

However, this gave him a very good opportunity.

Yiji was in a good mood, and walked out of Lu Yan's office with his head held high. He was going to report to Mao Jie, and he would probably take up the post of director.

Along the way, while looking around at the bustling streets of Chenliucheng, Yi Ji secretly thought:
"This eunuch really looks too young. He didn't even take the school exams, and he just gave me a job."

Shaking his head, Yiji sighed and said:

"Fortunately, it was me that he met. If he met a silver gun wax head and an embroidered pillow, wouldn't it be a matter of state affairs?"

"Oh! I finally have a decent job, why do I think so much. Let's go!"

The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, which roughly describes Yiji's current mentality, and he is short of singing "Lang Li Ge Lang".

Having won two talented people who are good at politics today, Lu Yan felt that he must have stepped on shit when he went out.
"Today is really lucky!
Do you want to take advantage of your red hand and open a pack or two to try it? "

Two months, two big gift packs, Lu Yan had a premonition that his luck would be hot today, so he decided to open two packs to test his luck!
"Emmm, it's better to wash your hands and face first. Sharpen your knife and chop wood. If you want to do it, you must do your best!"

After a lot of fussing, Lu Yan closed the door of the office, and then knelt respectfully in front of the desk.

There are two monthly gift packages on the table.

Lu Yan's face was solemn, and after straightening his clothes and cuffs, he stretched out his hand to the big gift bag.

【Ding! 】

It was as if a golden light flashed in front of my eyes!
[Congratulations to the host for opening the monthly gift package and getting: "Bamboo Paper Papermaking Technique"*1]

【Bamboo Papermaking Technique: Cutting Bamboo Ponds, Boiling in a Foot Fire, Peasing and Mortaring Mud Noodles, and Drying Papermaking Techniques How precious is the papermaking technique, don’t I need to say more? 】

Seeing papermaking for the first time, Lu Yan only felt a buzzing in his head, and he almost fainted.
After recovering, he immediately yelled, "Thank you Dad System!" He was about to kneel for the last time.

"Papermaking! You're here at the right time!" Lu Yan couldn't wait to get the jade slip that recorded "Bamboo Paper Papermaking", and hurriedly reflected the knowledge in it into his mind.

"With it, Boss Cao will deal with the aristocratic family more calmly, and it will also make the fish pond I built more stable!"

The great cause of fishing will last forever!
"Come again!"

Take advantage of the victory to pursue, strike while the iron is hot, and eat while it is hot. In short, Lu Yan quickly touched the second big gift bag, and the voice of the system immediately sounded,
[Congratulations to the host for opening the monthly gift package and getting: Cloud Boots*1]

[Floating Cloud Boots: Slightly increase the wearer's flexibility, and very slightly increase the wearer's walking speed (the special effect is only valid for the host). 】

"It's so-so." Lu Yan took the black-faced and white-edged, simple-looking Liuyun boots, and took advantage of the opportunity to replace the pair of shoes on his feet that had been with him for three years. "It saves money on buying shoes."

After wearing it, the foot feels good, and the whole body feels lighter.

Lu Yan hopped and tried the feeling of his feet.

In my mind, I recalled the glass making process and process formula I got last time, as well as the bamboo paper papermaking technology that I just developed, and thought to myself: "The sand needed for glass is easy to handle. But bamboo paper needs bamboo. Although this raw material is now in the Central Plains, it seems There are, but the quality is not so high.”

According to historical records, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, bamboo supervisors were set up to manage bamboo gardens in Henan, Shaanxi and other places, which shows that there are still bamboos in the Central Plains.

Only in the early Ming Dynasty, it seemed that there was no large-scale planting of bamboo in the north of the Yellow River.

It may be that climate change has led to the reduction of bamboo in the north, but it is still the end of Han Dynasty, and bamboo is still there.

However, the bamboo in the Central Plains alone is not enough in terms of quantity or quality, and it would be time-consuming and labor-intensive to cultivate it yourself.

As far as bamboo paper in history is concerned, those produced in southern regions such as Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan, and Jiangxi are the most famous. The most important thing is that those places produce high-quality bamboo. (Iron Eater recommends Sichuan bamboo to you: "It's delicious, crunchy!")
"It seems that it is necessary to establish some trade lines."

As the stalls get bigger, the raw materials needed are gradually becoming more diversified.

Lu Yan needs high-quality bamboo now, and reliable sales channels after the glass is produced.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Yan walked back and forth in the hall, thinking constantly in his mind: "So, before I start making glass and bamboo paper, I have to lay out all kinds of channels first."

"To establish a business channel, a certain number of merchants are required. Retail investors are definitely not good enough. You have to find big merchants with a certain reputation."

Lu Yan originally wanted to recruit businessmen to establish channels, but thinking of the nature of businessmen who are mercenary, he felt that these people might be difficult to control.

After thinking for a long time, Lu Yan suddenly remembered some novels he had read in later generations, and immediately slapped himself on the forehead and said:

"Damn, I'm such a badass! Why don't I eat this kind of good thing myself, but want to share it with those wolves?"

"Chamber of Commerce, I can form a Chamber of Commerce in the official name."

Establishing a chamber of commerce can also extract business tax from it. This is simply a profitable business!

Now that the cash crops are about to be harvested, the spices made by then can be sold to other states and counties through the chamber of commerce, just to test the waters.

"But who to take the lead?"

Lu Yan was the first to think of Cao Hong.

Cao Hong's biggest hobby is money, but he has another fatal flaw, that is, he is stingy!

When it comes to important ministers who were almost killed because of stinginess in history, Cao Hong must be among the best.

"Cao Hong is greedy and stingy, so he will definitely put in [-]% effort in doing business, but he may also wantonly embezzle public funds."

In history, although Cao Hong was one of the Cao Wei Eight Tigers, he was also the one with the least presence.

You see, Xiahou Dun has always been in charge of guarding the rear and his position is only under Cao Cao, equivalent to Boss Cao's deputy commander, and his status is quite respected.

Cao Ren has always been the coach of the southern front, and it is not easy for him to be able to fight well with Zhou Yu and Liu Bei.

Xia Houyuan, the coach of the western front, and the title of Hubu Guanyou, was given by Boss Cao himself.

Only Cao Hong has neither the ability to guard one side, nor seems to be very good at leading troops in battle. Apart from saving Lao Cao's life a few times, he doesn't seem to have too many outstanding performances.

Cao Hong is greedy and stingy, except for one person, that is, the person he can give his life for, big brother Cao Cao!
"If Cao Hong is restrained in the name of Boss Cao, there should be no problem."

Since he doesn't have much place in the battlefield, why not let him find another way and take a part-time job to manage the chamber of commerce?
Lu Yan punched his left palm with his right fist, and said affirmatively to himself: "It's possible!"

Thinking of this, after Lu Yan completed the table case, he took out a roll of silk and said in his heart:

"I'll write a letter to Boss Cao now, explaining to him the stakes!"

Merchants must be established, and those who control the Chamber of Commerce must also be reliable.

This is all laying the track for the future take-off!
