Take the mall to Datang

But this matter has been hanging in Li Shimin's mind like a time bomb, but the Turkic situation is weakening. His decision on this matter may be more rational. A great advantage, but the wrong timing cannot achieve a complete victory.

Li Shimin is someone who can do everything in order to avenge Weishui, and choosing this time to fight is definitely not the best time. In July, he was already passive and active in Turkic. If the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty intervene now, they may be affected by environmental factors. The battle is extremely unfavorable.

There may be considerations in this regard. In August, Li Shimin still has great expectations for the soldiers. The daily drills are strictly carried out, and the Beiya Army is his direct guard, so he is more concerned about the other. Good leadership in training the team's expectations.

The matter of the war horses has been resolved, and according to the plan proposed by Yuchi Baolin, these soldiers will be equipped with the most advanced artillery weapons and grenades in the Tang Dynasty, and 5000 troops will have a combat effectiveness of 1 people. This is the elite division of the old guard.

Yuan Shan said that a person equipped with the same grenade would definitely not be at a disadvantage when both sides rushed to kill. After the shield soldiers used special large shields to form an formation, a grenade could completely suppress the opponent.

For the Turkic cavalry, there are fortress tactics and artillery to suppress. The explosive power of the flowering grape shells is enough to cause enough damage to the horses. The shells are more harmful to the horses. A large part of the Turkic people stand on horses. With this advanced weapon, the Tang army will not be weak in a frontal confrontation.

In addition, Yuan Shan also provided the Beiya Army with the tactical idea of ​​landmines. Although the Beiya Army trained according to artillery standards, a large part of the tactical training was formulated according to special operations. There is also relevant training on the Internet, and landmines have been specially developed for this purpose.

It is said that landmines are actually bundled grenades and extension cords, or hand-pulled, or stirring ropes, or mechanism triggers. In short, all kinds of skill-based tactical applications are easily grasped by these people.

Even though Yuanshan was busy with business, he never forgot about Du Qianyu.

The weather in August is still quite hot, but it is much more comfortable than in summer. Yuan Shan is helping Du Qianyu check the injury on his hand in the manor. After three months of treatment, the injury on his hand is recovering fairly well. Because the wound is too deep, it may leave a shallow scar.

"Qianyu, such a white and soft hand may leave a shallow scar, but don't worry, I will find a way to remove this scar." Yuan Shan said.

Du Qianyu didn't say anything, and it's not like she didn't understand. It's pretty good that such a deep wound can be restored to its current state. I'm afraid Yuan Shan is trying to comfort her by wanting to get rid of the scar.

But Yuan Shan didn't lie, he relies on the beauty products in the system mall, and the scar removal products will still work as long as they are used for a long time.

Chapter 371

In the inner courtyard of Pingkangfang Chunman Garden, Chen Changshun stood respectfully in front of a middle-aged young woman and said, "The glass doors and windows are from the Yuanjia Workshop. I heard that the newly built 'first floor' in Pingkangfang It is the property of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and some princes, and it will not take long for the construction period to open."

"On the first floor, this prince really knows how to name it. Do you know the first floor?" asked the middle-aged young woman.

"I heard that it seems that a restaurant is going to be opened. Whether there is a yard to make a living is still uncertain." Chen Changshun said frankly.

"You should pay close attention to this matter. It's really interesting that the prince wants to do business like others. You can talk to Yuan Shan about the glass doors and windows and try to lower the price. I think he will give me face." Middle-aged young woman Said.

"Yes." Chen Changshun agreed.

Before noon, Chen Changshun arrived at Yuan's house in a carriage. He came to discuss business today and soon entered the living room. Yuan's hospitality is always very considerate. Zhirou is here to serve, Caiyi So I went to find Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan was chatting with Du Qianyu at home at this time, when he heard the news of the visitor, he followed Caiyi to the living room, and Chen Changshun immediately said, "Long time no see, business has been good recently."

"Tuofu, Chunmanyuan has kerosene lamps and candles, and the business has improved a lot." Chen Changshun said.

"What's the big deal about Shopkeeper Chen coming today?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Isn't it because of the glass doors and windows that have caused a lot of noise in Chang'an recently? We in Chunmanyuan also want to buy some. By the way, this is a letter from our shopkeeper to you." Chen Changshun said and handed the letter to you. Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan wondered if this was the legendary letter of recommendation. He opened it curiously and glanced at the letter. There was no specific content in it, only the words "Hong Fu Nu", and the image of a middle-aged young woman appeared in his mind in an instant. dust.

"I don't know how much glass Chunmanyuan needs." Yuan Shan asked.

"Three hundred glass windows and sixty glass doors." Chen Changshun said.

"Now the glass windows are priced at [-] guan each, and the glass doors are [-] guan at a time. Since they are all acquaintances, we can give you a discount. Let's give them a total of [-] guan." Yuan Shan said.

Chen Changshun immediately calculated that the average price was directly reduced by half. He knew that the two young masters must have something to do with it. The business talks went very smoothly. Chen Changshun also ordered a batch of candles by the way. The business of Chunmanyuan was very good. The distribution of candles can also make him some money.

Yuan Shan always gave the lowest price. Anyway, the sales volume of candles is fixed every month, and there is a certain reserve every month. He pointed out that the sales scale has not been expanded in the near future. It is estimated that the market in Chang'an City is saturated. After all, no matter how cheap candles are in Chang'an It is also expensive in the eyes of people, and it is not affordable for ordinary families. Even wealthy businesses cannot use it every night, unless there are candidates at home.

In addition, Chen Changshun ordered another batch of soap and scented soap because of the relationship with the red-haired girl, and they all bought them at the lowest price. It was so cheap that Chen Changshun directly ordered goods worth [-] pennies.

Yuan Shan could see that this Hong Fu girl was purely asking someone to come here to pick up a bargain. Who made her two sons his students now? Besides, both Hong Fu girl and Li Jing must give them face , Clearing the warehouse with tears, directly arranged five carts to go to Chang'an with Chen Changshun, and transported the money to Hepingfang Mall by the way.

A few carts of soap are enough for them to digest. It just so happens that this week's promotional products are mainly soap and scented soap. I thought that cheapness is not so easy to earn. With the promotion of Hepingfang Mall, a large group of merchants will flock However, there are so many soaps and scented soaps in Ouchunmanyuan that they are only sold domestically, at most they are distributed at a low price in various yards in Pingkangfang.

It is impossible to make money with soap. Rich businessmen in Chang’an can saturate the soap market in Chang’an in no time. Soap and scented soap are all made in workshops. There is still a large amount of inventory. I am the first to hear the news It was none other than Changsun Wuji. He used some of these things to distribute and the other part to give gifts and supply the inner courtyard of the palace.

His sister is the Empress Changsun, and these things are exactly what is needed. Besides, Changsun Wuji got a lot of benefits from the soap business last time, so how could he give up this time? The family is richer, and now they put the market on the soap business. After exchanging the point system to enjoy a compromise, the price is less than three yuan. How can this not be crazy.

This time, Changsun Wuji was not polite, and directly swallowed [-] guan worth of goods, which had a great impact on some small traders. After doing this, Yuan Shan also realized that this seemed to be a vicious circle of "reselling" , It's not conducive to the development of business at all, it's like the elder grandson wants to monopolize the advantage.

However, doing business does not mean that whoever has money can make a lot of money. After the in-depth promotion of soap, the Zheng family and Xue family also made a lot of purchases. They thought it was due to consumables, so they made a considerable amount this time. Investment, and the Zheng family's mansion shop is not ordinary, covering almost the entire territory of Datang.

This batch of goods was shipped out in the first time, this is the background of the richest man in Chang'an. Although the eldest grandson is now an official family, how to do business depends on buying low and selling high. Goods sell better.

After a round of market bidding, the retail price of soap dropped directly to five pennies. This is the price in other states. This price is considered cheap. Usually, a piece of soap is sold for ten pennies, plus the transportation fee. On average, the money earned is only about two pennies, and now it is basically less than one penny.

But the victory lies in the large quantity. The Zheng family and the Xue family are regarded as partners in this business. Although the overall profit is not much, it is at least 20.00% of the total payment, and the goods of the Changsun family are basically sent to the palace.

Most of them were handed over to Empress Changsun for arrangements to stabilize the harem and manage relationships.

The big bosses compete with small businessmen. They have basically changed from purchasers to distributors, helping big bosses make money. What they do is just earn some hard work. This time, many businessmen can see clearly In reality, it’s not about selling whatever is cheap.

Yuan Shan didn't care about the whereabouts of his goods at all. After all, he earned the money. He tossed and sold several products for promotion in the past few days. The most successful one was this soap. The money he earned was enough to feed the horses at home for half a year. , What he thinks now is that after the corn comes down, he will start to store corn stalks as feed, so a new project will start again.

Corn stalks must be processed, otherwise they will cause pollution if burned, so in addition to being used as forage, they must also be used as fence poles and so on.

Chapter 372 Prepare to Recruit 300 People

While busy with business matters, he must also pay attention to the redress of Du Fuwei.

After the military parade before, Yuan Shan mentioned this matter to Li Shimin again. This time Li Shimin gave an affirmative answer, but it was not determined when he would be able to give an affirmative answer.

"Caiyi, what are your plans for today?" Yuan Shan asked while sitting on the boss chair.

Caiyi opened a folder and said, "Master, I'm going to the Intuit General Workshop this morning. The Military Supervision has a new boiler delivered today. So far this is the fifth boiler provided by the Military Supervision, and three of them have completed steam engines." The production has been put into use, a steam engine is being built, and we will go to the medical hall for a meeting in the afternoon."

"I won't go to the workshop, you go and ask someone to give the new boiler to Li Dejian and Li Deju for use. Aren't they researching the steamship? Let them study it carefully. This morning I will go to the pharmacy to have a look. You don't have to follow along depending on the production of the medicine, and just ask someone to drive a carriage to pick me up there in the afternoon." Yuan Shan said.

As the number of things increased, Caiyi's receptionist was also upgraded to a working secretary, and the original four secretaries are now fully committed to the work of the department store. They have been busy working on food for a month, and they have achieved initial results. .

Yuan Shan has also experienced the hardships of dealing with industrial affairs, and there must be a fixed arrangement every day. Fortunately, several projects are finally coming to an end, and he will be more relaxed when he goes online.

Then Yuan Shan went to the pharmacy room. Tongluo plaster has been selling very well in pharmacies recently. The employees of the Sanlizhuang engineering team can buy medicines at a discount, but everyone has a purchase restriction system, and they can buy them at any time. As a construction worker, waist and leg pains are common diseases, so the sales of plasters are very good. You must know that there are more than 6000 workers working in the centralized warehouse area, and a small half of them buy plasters, which will bring relatively great pressure to the pharmacy.

No, Yuan Shan came to the pharmaceutical room today to check the situation. The current production speed of the pharmaceutical room cannot meet people's needs. In order to avoid the embarrassment of being out of stock, Yuan Shan is already planning to use a steam engine here instead. It has been produced, but it takes a lot of effort to build such a complete set of equipment.

Yuan Shan didn't want to check the production steps, firing, stirring, and then equal parts of the extrusion, which also required the precise operation of the transmission belt, and recorded all these required steps, and then recorded the preliminary design drafts separately, and then It should be no problem to ask someone to deliver these things to Lu Tiejiang. With the help of Li Deju and Li Deju's brothers, it should be no problem.

"Yuan Shan, what are you doing painting over there?" Li Xiuning came over and asked.

Li Xiuning was wearing the work clothes of the pharmacy. The close-fitting clothes were very neat, showing her figure vividly. Yuan Shan almost didn't recognize that it was Li Xiuning at first glance.

"It's you. I didn't expect you to be quite patient. How are you tired from work?" Yuan Shan asked.

"I'm not tired. I feel like I've lived a fulfilling life. You haven't answered me that you are in the liver and kidneys." Li Xiuning asked.

"It's just drawing the blueprints and preparing to equip the pharmaceutical workshop with a neat set of equipment. Then the output will increase a lot. After mixing the medicines, it will be done by machines. This will save labor and make it easier for you." Yuan Shan said.
