Take the mall to Datang

"Your Majesty, can I refuse?" Yuan Shan asked.

"What do you think?" Li Shimin replied with a smile.

"I think it's better to use the money to fill the treasury, but I don't know how much money His Majesty is willing to spend as the cost." Yuan Shan asked.

"This..." Li Shimin didn't think that to make Yuanshan make money, he had to invest money first. It's really hard to answer the amount for a while, but he knew that Yuanshan was very good at making money, and now the Yuan family's wealth is in the millions. Huge, if you want to fill up the national treasury, the money can't be too little.

"How about a million guan?" Li Shimin said through gritted teeth.

"Twenty percent rebate within three years is good." Yuan Shan said, the two achievements are 20 Guan, and earning 20 in three years is not a lot of income.

"Thirty percent." Li Shimin said.

"It is necessary to try the administrative order and mobilize manpower. In the next three years, all the proceeds will be used as funds for me to drive." Yuan Shan said.

"Yes." Li Shimin said.

Investing 100 million yuan, and then earning 30 yuan more every year, and paying [-] yuan after three years, there is still a cost. In addition, the road paved before the imperial court did not suffer at all, which is equivalent to three years of usury.

Yuan Shanxin said that it was really black to use 100 million guan to earn 30 guan in three years. The usury is really high, but it is enough to rely on the four characters of "doing things cheaply" in the imperial decree.

There are many projects that can make money, such as selling salt, usually the court collects salt tax, but if the court wants to directly conduct salt business, the tax revenue will be directly converted into profit, let alone three years if it is done well for one year The reason why it will take three years is not only to earn an extra 30 Guan, but also to earn back the capital.

After coming out of the palace, Yuan Shan was listless, he was wondering which bastard was behind him.

The next day Yuanshan found out that a group of people from the palace came to his house early in the morning to issue the imperial decree, so a large group of people went through the formalities again, this time it was Changsun Wuji who came in person.

"Hahaha, from today onwards, Shanzhi should be called Yuanpushe." Changsun Wuji laughed.

Yuan Shan already knew that he had been promoted when the imperial decree was read out just now. This time, he served as Pu She, the adjutant of Shangshu Province, and was in charge of the economic affairs entrusted to him by Li Shimin. The group system implemented, such as Shangshusheng, Menxiasheng, etc., all have this position, even if they are in charge of different affairs, the promotion may also be to make him do things cheaply, so Yuan Shan didn't care at all.

Another happy event was that His Majesty finally rehabilitated Du Fuwei, and Yuan Shan felt that his moment of happiness was coming soon.

To be fair, Li Shimin asked Yuan Shan to be in charge of making money. Zhangsun Wuji and other close relatives and ministers all knew about it. It can only be used if it is approved by the government, and it can only be used if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty do not object.

To put it bluntly, the money of the court belongs to the court, not to the emperor alone, so Yuan Shan was added an official position, but it was just a formality. Under the money contract.

And Yuanshan's first project was to build water conservancy projects. The money was not enough at all, but now he could only suffer from being dumb.

Chapter 399

"Aren't you happy about being promoted?" Dugu Ruolan asked.

"I'm happy, it's just a little bit of pressure, but fortunately Du Qianyu's father's matter has finally been vindicated. This is more joyful than being promoted. By the way, why don't you see Qianyu? What is she doing?" Yuan Shan said.

"Sister Qianyu is paying homage to General Du in the backyard." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Well, we should give her some time at this time." Yuan Shan said.

First, I chatted with Dugu Ruolan for a few words. Although Du Fuwei's matter was resolved, there were two wives at home, so Yuan Shan first did Dugu Ruolan's work. If this woman became jealous, it would be terrible Therefore, Yuan Shan resolutely comforted Dugu Ruolan first and then went to find Du Qianyu.

When Yuan Shan found Du Qianyu, she was burning paper, and immediately went over to comfort her and said, "Qianyu, don't be sad, if Yue Zhang knows that you are so sad for him, he will be unhappy, and now you are the only one left in the Du family, and I will call someone tomorrow." Build another ancestral hall in this backyard.”

At this time, Du Qianyu burned the paper money quietly without crying. Seeing this, Yuan Shan saw that going on like this was not an option. If he didn't vent his joy and sorrow, it might affect his body and mind, but Yuan Shan thought too much. The Du family has been working as a female guard after experiencing changes, and she has seen clearly that tears are not easy to stay in the cold and warm world.

"Husband, thank you." Du Qianyu said after a long while.

"I said I will do what I promised you." Yuan Shan replied, at this moment he didn't know how to comfort Du Qianyu.

"I will definitely do what I promised you. Why don't you come to my room tonight?" Du Qianyu packed up his things and walked away, leaving Yuanshan stupidly unresponsive.

"Happiness is so sudden, it's really hard to get used to it." Yuan Shan muttered to himself after he realized it.

Yuan Shan really went to Du Qianyu's room that night, but found that Dugu Rulan was there, so the three of them fought for the landlord all night. This might be an alternative way for Du Qianyu to vent his anger.

It was really scary for three people to stare at the three pairs of panda eyes in the morning. Seeing Du Qianyu sleeping soundly, Yuan Shan felt relieved, hugged Dugu Ruolan's shoulder and said, "It's really hard work for you, let's go back to the room to catch up on sleep."

The absence of Shangshu Sheng's servant She, a person named Yuan Shan, has been recorded, which directly affects the official's salary assessment, and Yuan Shan directly forgot about this matter. It seems that reporting such an important matter on the first day He woke up in a dream, which caused Changsun Wuji to come to find Yuanshan himself.

But when he knew that Yuan Shan was sleeping during the day, he almost went crazy. When Yuan Shan got up and came to the living room, he saw the dark-faced eldest grandson Wuji, and suddenly thought that something seemed to have made him forget. .

"Yuan Shan, you are the servant of Shangshu Province. It's not okay if you don't report on the first day." Changsun Wuji said.

He was reminding Yuanshan that he is no longer an idle servant, but a servant. His job is about Datang Jiangshan Sheji, and many people are watching it. It is not easy to skip work, at least not I will insist on pretending for a few days first.

"Uncle Changsun is right. By the way, when will the money His Majesty promised to give me be available, so that I can start working immediately." Yuan Shan asked immediately, thinking that if you make it difficult for me, I can't make it easier for you. The 100 million yuan is not something he can just take, anyway, his job is to spend money to make money.

"We'll have to wait for this. It will take time for the household department to mobilize such a large amount of money." This time it was Changsun Wuji's turn to be in trouble.

They all know Yuan Shan's work. It's really unrealistic for him to work for the court like a real servant, but although the nature of the job is different, he is still a servant. Otherwise, what is the majesty of His Majesty? Could it be that the court is playing tricks?

"Today, you still have to go to Shangshu Province with me." Changsun Wuji said.

"Okay, can I brush my teeth first..."

In the afternoon, Yuan Shan was wearing a government official and sitting in the office of Shangshu Province. In fact, it is not surprising that the office space of the ancient court is basically the same. After showing his face in front of a group of officials, Yuan Shan also met many familiar people, such as Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and others.

There are really many officials in this Shangshu Province. He only realized at this time that there are really many people in this position. He feels that this "group minister" system is not as good as the emperor's secretary group.

After meeting everyone, Yuan Shan had finished this cutscene. From now on, he could be regarded as one of the prominent figures in the Tang Dynasty. Although Shang Shupushe was the deputy, he was not the prime minister anyway.

Although Yuan Shan doesn't like being an official, it doesn't mean he doesn't have vanity. He can be a prime minister casually, but many court officials don't like him, and he doesn't have specific real power, except for the one million It seems that there is no team other than money.

There is no other way but to organize a team that can do things first. As the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven, but Yuanshan usually does not make friends with officials. When it comes to employing people, he really can't find anyone available. When he suddenly thought of the corn project Didn't the imperial court send Hao Dayi, a member of the Ministry of Gold, to help? Seeing that he is not bad, he might as well be the first person to find him.

Soon Hao Dayi was transferred here. It seemed as if a gold brick fell from the sky so suddenly. Hao Dayi, who had nothing to do with him, was transferred from the Zhongshu Province to the Shangshu Province. Don't be too happy, because Yuanwailang This position itself has no real power and rank is not high.

After seeing Yuan Shan, Hao Dayi immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, almost instantly entering the state of a younger brother.

"Hao Dayi, it's really sudden to transfer you here, but you don't have to have psychological pressure to follow me to do things for the court, and then I won't treat you badly. Your first job is to find some capable people for me, and ask them to help me. Can be proficient in numerology and can perform calculations quickly." Yuan Shan said.

Hao Dayi immediately agreed, he, Yuanwai Lang, was promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank Lang, if he can't do the first thing well, then he should not be an idiot.

Then Yuan Shan said: "The people I want are good but not many. There are two Yuanwailang (sixth rank), both serve five people (seventh rank), and ten people in charge (eighth rank). Find all the people for me immediately."

"Yes, my subordinates will do it right away." Hao Dayi said.

Yuan Shan showed Hao Dayi the imperial decree, there was not much content on it, but the key point was that it said "acting cheaply", and what Yuan Shan mobilized were low-level officials who temporarily mobilized some people to come over, which was necessary.

Afterwards, Yuanshen still handed over some memorials about this matter. He can't do things carelessly in his position, thinking that he must hand in memorials frequently in the future, so he went to Changsun Wuji.

Chapter 400 Ministry of Economic Development

The next day Yu Jingming came to Shangshu Province to report to Yuanshan.

Yu Jingming was responsible for transcribing some documents in the Ministry of Industry, and even played a guest role as a calligraphy and painting lecturer at the Imperial College. He never thought that one day he would be able to work as a servant.

This is what Yuan Shan repeatedly asked for. In fact, what Yuan Shan wanted was for someone to help him write a beautiful memorial. Besides, Yuan Shan had checked the records of Yu Jingming, who was mainly appointed because he held many positions during Wu Zetian's time. He has the ability and the background is strong enough. With the reputation of his father Yu Shinan, it would be difficult for him not to be famous, and he is also an out-and-out calligrapher.
