Take the mall to Datang

"We are already discussing this matter." Zheng satisfied.

"Then let's make money together." Yuan Shan said.

"Haha..." Several people laughed.

In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Shan took a carriage and was pulled into a ravine. After getting off the carriage, Yuan Shan was surrounded. Who found this place? Was it deep in the Qinling Mountains?

"Master, this is the location of the kiln. It's within the Qinling Mountains. It takes three hours to drive from Chang'an by carriage." Zhou Steward said.

Yuan Shanxin said that this is really far enough, it seems that this point is fifty or sixty kilometers away, I don't know who found this place, this environment and terrain are not suitable for building a kiln, maybe it is more suitable for building a Taoist temple.

When he arrived at the place, Yuanshan saw a lot of bricks piled up here, and asked directly: "Steward Zhou, are these bricks transported from the villa?"

"Yes, only two-thirds of it is used now, and some of the staff dormitories are being expanded. There may not be enough rooms here soon," Zhou Guanjia said.

Yuan Shan looked at the thousands of people gathered here, if he didn't know, he might think that someone was hiding a private army here.

"Well, it must be low-key, but the work clothes with the words "Building Materials Chamber of Commerce" must be customized. The road leading to the outside from here must be repaired. It is best to repair more roads leading to the outside, so that product transportation will be much more convenient." Yuan Shandao .

All the people listened to Yuan Shan's opinion. The ceremony of the kiln factory was very simple, just lit a fire, and it was over after a while.

Yuan Shan is a technical shareholder, and the construction of bricks, cement, and pharmaceutical kilns has been completed with thoughtful cooperation. In addition, the family who masters the ratio has also been dispatched to the kiln. Twenty "technicians" are mainly responsible for raw materials. The next thing is the efforts of the management and shareholders of the building materials chamber of commerce. As the chairman of the chamber of commerce, what Yuan Shan has to do is to wait for the signature and approval.

The cement factory started construction that day, and now the kiln factory has only 3000 people, not as many as 6000. Quarrying and crushing stones is the most difficult part of the production process, but these things are not considered by Yuanshan. What, his technical investment naturally includes the item of "explosion".

But Yuanshan needs a lot of time to prepare for these things. Standing far away and watching the people here are busy, and the management system adopted is also formulated by him, so the atmosphere in this kiln is very harmonious, more work, less work. There must be this reward mechanism, which will ensure production.

The wages offered are also very high, but quarrying is dangerous, so Yuanshan has done a very comprehensive job in terms of employee benefits, and signed a "contract", which is binding on both parties after something happens.

This time, returning to Chang'an has been spent on the road. For several consecutive days, Yuanshan left early and returned late. In order not to be affected by the access control of Chang'an City, the construction of the CBD in Lantian County is also speeding up.

And it also brought an order for work clothes for 1 people to the Cotton Guild. The garment department in the textile factory took this order and produced work clothes designed by Yuan Shan, and they were three-layer cotton cloth thick.

Yuan Shan also did some work for the female workers in his manor, which was to produce thick-soled cloth shoes. After this, the [-] sets of clothing shoes, gloves, masks, aprons and other products would bring him discomfort. less income.

The money came from the shareholders of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce. These three companies have a lot of background, and the last thing they are afraid of is spending money. For work clothes, at least nearly 500 taels of gold will be spent.

Coupled with the coal needed, it cost no less than 3000 taels of gold.

The large-scale kiln produces the first batch of bricks in three days, at least 90 bricks can be produced in a day, and the productivity is nine times that of the Yuanjia Manor. This is not a full kiln production.

The production capacity of cement kilns has also been greatly increased. Li Shimin's first big cement order was to produce 250 tons of cement. It took more than 20 days. Now the five large cement kilns can complete at least [-] tons of cement in ten days. Yield.

However, the manpower required is also greatly increased. To maintain the kiln, at least [-] people are required to start the kiln. Crushing stone is a very large project.

Yuan Shan has been discussing the development and sales of the kiln factory in Hepingfang shop with several people in the building materials mall these days, completely forgetting about the teaching assistants of Guozijian and Hongwenguan.

But on the second day after Crown Prince Yuan Shan visited Kong Yingda, the old man returned to the Imperial College to teach. This time, when he saw the group of four disciples led by Yuan Shan skipping class every day and went out to make some weird things, he immediately became furious.

So a memorial was handed over to Li Shimin.

Chapter 208 Reporting on Yuan Shan

In the Xiande Palace, Li Shimin is really popular. Isn't this a dereliction of duty? As an assistant teacher of the Imperial College, he didn't teach the students for several days.

If it's a work-study program, it's fine, and the students are encouraged to do life practice. If you can't find a student every few days, this matter will be a big deal.

Also, as an assistant teacher of Hongwen Museum, he ignored the prince. This was what annoyed Li Shimin the most.

With the fuse of Kong Yingda's memorial, after verifying that the facts are indeed the case, this dereliction of duty can be regarded as real. At this time, we saw the games among the court officials, and many people began to stand up and make trouble. From dereliction of duty to As a lord, blatantly join the ranks of merchants, join business activities and so on.

Before it was changed, no one would say these things. After all, many court officials' homes were more or less involved in some commercial activities.

Especially in the cloth business, the cotton business is making such a fuss now that the silk cloth in Chang'an is not easy to sell, which directly affects their vital interests.

As a result, because of this matter, the court hall was in an instant chaos. Li Shimin wanted to get angry at first, but the current situation seemed to be out of control.

Li Shimin suddenly discovered that Yuanshan was a small county, but there was a cotton chamber of commerce standing behind him. This was originally a good thing, but how could it affect the court.

This matter had to make Li Shimin fall into thinking. Cotton cloth costs a hundred cash, and the imperial court ordered more than [-]. The people in Chang'an are basically using cotton cloth, but what they see is the thriving prosperity. The workshop owners who are under the pressure of market sales are in trouble.

Some chose to join the chamber of commerce, and some were still struggling to support it, but the current situation simply did not allow those workshop owners who struggled to support them to persevere.

As a result, this directly led to a conflict of interests. Officials, families, and noble family officials would inevitably stand up, and they often wanted to put pressure on the court.

This is also the most troublesome thing for Li Shimin.

"That's enough. Now we're talking about Yuan Shan's dereliction of duty as an assistant teacher of the Hongwen Academy. Don't confuse the audience." Li Shimin snapped.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Yuan Shan's dereliction of duty is not suitable for him to be a teaching assistant again," Wei Zheng said.

"Well, what you said makes sense, but merits and demerits cannot be completely erased. Yuan Shan wrote the "Three Character Classic" during his time in the Imperial College. This article quotes a model composition, which is very suitable as an enlightenment. It's a little strange, but bringing forth the new through the old may be a new attempt. If I can really cultivate some talented people, it will be a blessing to my Tang Dynasty. Of course, the matter of dereliction of duty cannot be ignored, but it is still necessary to find out the situation before making a decision, and find it first. Those four students who went to experience life are talking." Li Shimin said.

It sounds like this is speaking for Yuan Shan, but in fact it is changing the subject.

But the ministers didn't accept this, and someone still came out to talk about Yuanshan's business.

At this time, the civil officials were all concerned, and the military officials kept silent and just watched. Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde and the others were very calm. They knew that no matter how these people made trouble, if they really wanted to move Yuan Shan, Then they will come out to protect it as soon as possible.

It's not just that they have business contacts, they even think more about the matter of making friends with uncles and nephews, because they look at it from the perspective of civil servants and military officers, protecting Yuan Shan when you are in charge of the housekeeper. On the contrary, more benefits can be obtained.

They don't have the grievances of civil servants, so they can recognize Yuan Shan's talent better. It is the best choice to pull Yuan Shan into the ranks of military officers.

At this moment, Feng Deyi said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. Two days ago, someone discovered that Yuan Shan was mining iron ore without permission. Please make a decision on this matter."

In an instant, there was complete silence in the hall, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Qiong were all stunned. They all knew Yuan Shan's character in their hearts, and it seemed that there was nothing in the world that he would not dare to do. of.

"What did you say, why didn't you say it earlier." Li Shimin said angrily.

"I only got the news not long ago. To be on the safe side, I sent people to observe secretly and make sure that the iron ore in the mine was transported to the Yuanjia Manor before making a conclusion." Feng Deyi said.

Li Shimin patted the dragon chair and didn't speak for a while, but it came suddenly at this time. It stands to reason that Yuan Shan is very proficient in business, so he shouldn't know that salt and iron are government-run things.

But Feng Deyi couldn't be aimless when he said that, he must have grasped the evidence, thought for a while and said: "Cheng Zhijie, I will leave it to you at this time, hurry up and bring Yuan Shan to me for questioning."

Cheng Zhijie's eyes rolled when he heard this, and this matter was entrusted to him, which meant that even if the matter was implemented, there was still room for relaxation, so he immediately took the order to find Yuan Shan to ask for clarification.

This morning, the court was very lively, just because of a little-known magistrate.

Inside the Peace Store, several people from the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce were recording with small notebooks. The output of bricks at the beginning of production made them dumbfounded. A large number of bricks have now been stacked everywhere. Fortunately, the kiln factory they chose is very large. .

"When selling bricks, you can find big customers. You can talk to those dignitaries who want to build Zhuangzi. For the sale of bricks, you still need to train a group of talents for hit training..."

While Yuan Shan was discussing with several people, suddenly Cheng Zhijie rushed in and took Yuan Shan away without saying a word, coming and going quickly.

"Yuanshan, do you think you are mining iron ore privately?" Cheng Zhijie asked.

"No." Yuan Shan said immediately.
