Take the mall to Datang

So Yuan Shan used the prince's relationship to start selling pork to the homes of princes and nobles from Guozijian and other princes, even the palace. Buy pork from the Internet and then resell it. Now there is a butcher shop in every workshop in Chang'an City. These are the investments of the Ministry of Economic Development.

Chapter 402

Recently, the most popular delicacy in Chang'an City is braised pork. After being promoted by the prince and others, this dish must be served at the dinner parties of princes and nobles, and the taste of braised pork is so delicious that it is uncontrollable. It used to be a delicacy in Heping Shopping Mall. You can only taste it in the district. Now you only need to buy some pork and you can cook it easily. But don’t think that this dish can be eaten by ordinary people. Sugar is very expensive, so these exclusive privileges are exclusive to the rich.

Pork is selling very well, and all the inns and restaurants have also made purchases. As a result, the price of pork has risen within a few days, because the number of pigs raised in Yilizhuang and Erlizhuang simply cannot support the consumption of rich people, so The price of pork started to rise again and again, and the Ministry of Economic Development also made a lot of money from it, earning back thousands of dollars in a few days.

Yuanshan has gained a lot of benefits. Those wealthy businessmen who said they wanted to engage in breeding with Yuanshan before were now red-eyed. Didn’t expect that the price of pork is not only selling well, but the price is also skyrocketing, and then counting pork and mutton After the profits, they decisively felt that raising pigs was promising, and some shrewd businessmen really made a lot of money in this wave of soaring pork prices.

So the wealthy businessmen all decided to invest heavily in pig farming. The key point is that the pig farm led by the Ministry of Economic Development was established. Ten out of ten, and several wealthy businessmen invested tens of millions of dollars in pig factories that have already started.

Moreover, there is an acquisition plan proposed by the Ministry of Economic Development, and the merchants who invest in are guaranteed to make a profit. The main meat of Datang is still mutton, and a large number of sheep come from the Turkic trade, and the output of sheep It can't compare to the reproductive ability of pigs. In order to make the people of Tang Dynasty healthy, Yuan Shan specially wrote out the interests of eating meat and gave it to Li Shimin.

The ghostwriter was naturally Yu Jingming, so the first batch of court orders came from Li Shimin's Suwei, so that part of Yuanshan's pork could be consumed by the court, and the remaining pig offal and other products could be processed again, for example, using Come to rely on mixed oil, deep-fried meat, pig fat intestines, pig heart, lungs, liver, etc. can be sold for money, and these will be sold in the deli that will be opened soon.

And if the poor can't afford soybean oil, they can still eat lard, at least it's better than nothing.

In this short week, the number of people under Yuan Shan's hands has begun to be insufficient, and now the most lacking thing is the accountant, so Yuan Shan went to find the old man Wang Xiaotong, and now he will be accepted wherever he goes as his servant. Respectfully, very smoothly, several of Wang Xiaotong's most proud disciples were transferred to the Ministry of Economics and Development to serve as the principal and mainly responsible for the work of settling accounts.

Two weeks later, Yuan Shan was anxious and held a second meeting. At the meeting, Yuan Shan talked about the money on the books of the Ministry of Economic Development, and then everyone talked about the work at hand. After everyone understood the information, Yuan Shan Shan said: "I know that everyone is very busy now, and you can invest in whatever business is the most profitable at the moment, and you need the kind that can quickly return your capital, so I decided to organize a caravan to carry out Datang business."

After hearing Yuan Shan's words, everyone began to think about it. It is not a simple matter to organize a caravan. In addition, there is a shortage of manpower, and it is not sure what to sell. No one spoke to them for a while.

"I've already decided to organize a caravan to sell tea in the south," Yuan Shan said.

Then everyone began to agree, thinking that tea was considered a lucrative industry in the Tang Dynasty, but the road to the south was not so easy. It would take time to go back and forth, and the cost of hiring carriages for the caravan was also part of it.

But in the end, everyone agreed with this approach. The carriage used was either another family’s or Yuan’s team. The commission for this part of Yuan Shan was almost the cost price.

Three days later, the caravan set off early. Ma Zhou and Hao Dayi led the caravan to the south. Today, the Ministry of Economic Development is receiving a reception. The person who came was Zhang Baojun, the county magistrate of Xinfeng County. The inherited name is actually the current Lintong County.

"Has magistrate Zhang thought it over clearly?" Yuan Shan said.

Just a day ago, Yuanshan asked Yu Jingming to write a cooperation plan and sent it to Zhang Baojun. It was about planting vegetables. The most famous place in Xinfeng is the Huaqing Pool at the foot of Chang'an City. What Shan values ​​is the fertile soil in Xinfeng County. Now there are more and more people in the business center. The vegetables in Wulizhuang and other villages are already in short supply. This is not directly using this material planting project as an excuse to the surrounding area. County investment.

"After thinking about it, the Ministry of Economic Development will purchase all the vegetables in our county this year," Zhang Baojun said.

"Let's sign the contract. It's no small feat to increase the income of the common people," Yuan Shan said.

"Thank you Yuan Pushe for your love, I will definitely handle this matter well." Zhang Baojun said.

It is said that there is no wall for ventilation. The vegetable purchase plan signed by the magistrate of Xinfeng County today, worth thousands of guan, was quickly known by people in several other counties. They can get a lot more income this year if they plant it well.

In fact, this is just a small interest for them. The real big head is the construction of vegetable greenhouses organized by Zhang County Magistrate. The start-up funds are all invested by the Ministry of Economic Development. The price of vegetables in winter is not generally high.

One hundred vegetable greenhouses like this will be built in Xinfeng County. Each greenhouse is at least about [-] square meters. The annual planting can be consumed by thousands of people in the surrounding three or four counties. This part of the capital investment also requires a lot of money Yes, but the Ministry of Economic Development has nothing else but money. The outdoor part of the greenhouse is all made of glass. It costs a huge amount of money to buy these glasses, but the benefits are still considerable in the long run.

Yuanjia made money again as soon as it changed hands. Yuanjia Workshop made hundreds of thousands of guan by dumping part of the glass produced before. Yuanshan found that the speed of spending money was a bit fast. There are only [-] guan left in the money from the Ministry of Finance, and this is not counting the bonuses for your subordinates, and there are follow-up projects.

Sitting in the office of the Ministry of Economics and Development, looking at the little that is left in the "cage", two weeks ago, there were 100 million coins piled up here, so many people are very shocked when they see so much money, but now they look at it. A mountain of money has turned into a pile of money. This gap is too great to be accepted.

Chapter 403 The Tea Business

There was no turning back when he opened the bow, and 100 million guan was not a lot of money for him. Two weeks later, the caravan came back with a lot of tea.

Then all the tea-making materials were sent to Yuan’s house, and a few days later, the Datang tea shop officially opened after a few days of decoration. Two, Yuanjia's fried tea craft is enough to drink for a long time, and there are different types of poor products with different quality and price.

Ordinary teas cost about two or three guan, and there are even better ones ranging from ten to thirty guan, while the teas that get the palace are all carefully selected teas worth three hundred guan and one liang. It's just a gimmick, but there are also some really good teas, but Yuan Shan "filled his pockets". Anyway, the tea that the staff of the Ministry of Economic Development drinks is very good.

This part of spending Yuan Shan is also very willing, and the subordinates are also tacitly aware of it.Some of the broken teas cost [-] cents a tael. There are not many broken teas, but the sales are indeed the best, and they are all booked within a few days.

The gaps made by Yuanjia are sold as a set in tea shops. After a few days of promotions, the sale of fried tea has ushered in a peak period. Some people who are familiar with Yuanshan know Yuanjia fried tea. Now that fried tea is on the market, they all come to patronize them one after another. How can the people in the court have any secrets? Drinking this kind of tea is popular now. If you don't drink it, you will lose face.

Moreover, fried tea is a thousand times better than tea and medicinal soup. In addition, the Yuan family's kung fu has made many people "sophisticated" in drinking tea. Fifty carts of tea are expected to be sold. The [-] guan can leave at least [-] guan after deducting the cost and miscellaneous payments. This business made the Ministry of Economic Development breathe, so the Datang tea planting project was launched accordingly.

But the problem is that the transportation of tea leaves is very limited every time, and [-] carts are dispatched each time, but the current tea leaves are limited after all, so Yuanshan put his idea on other plants, such as the leaves of the traditional Chinese medicine Eucommia It is possible to make a very good health tea, regardless of whether it has specific effects or not, but the gimmick and the appearance after brewing are still very good.

Then everyone took action and began to focus on the existing resources, which also increased the price of wild Eucommia a lot.

After several shipments of tea, Yuanshan’s funds also came back. Although a small part is not much, the momentum is very good now. One month is about to pass, and the people are already preparing for spring plowing this year. Most of them are required to grow corn, so that there will be no shortage of food if the yield is high. In fact, the price of corn next year will reach a new low. Although it is cheap, the yield is enough for a family to eat. Only under good governance.

Because the carpenter's workshop that was united with the project moved quickly, and what they learned was the classification and production methods of the Yuan family. These things can be easily used by these workshops. They really dare to be self-effacing and assemble all the waterwheels at the end of the construction period.

And the building materials chamber of commerce's canal opening and water diversion project is almost completed. In order to ensure the quality of the project, a lot of cement will be invested for this purpose, and many new construction plans have been researched for this. These are some valuable experiences. For construction Team development is very beneficial.

When the water conservancy project in Lantian County was completed, Yuanshan led a group of people to perform the completion ceremony surrounded by Guo Shouyi, Zheng Yiman and others. In a month, Lantian County has really changed a lot. Many waterways have been widened and water trucks are linked together. The farmland will no longer be short of water.

This servant directly aroused the support of the people in Lantian County. The Ministry of Economic Development is now very famous. It gives the impression that many people have a wait-and-see attitude towards this, especially for the vegetable greenhouse plan of Zhang Baojun, the magistrate of Xinfeng County. Interested, they don't know why Zhang Baojun led the people of the whole county to do such a crazy thing, the awareness of agriculture-oriented makes them unable to understand the benefits of business to the people.

"Yuan servant shot, Zhang Baojun is here." Cheng Chumo came in at the door and said.

"Let him in." Yuan Shan said.

"Yuan Pu shot down the official because he came here to learn about the vegetarian vegetable shed." Zhang Baojun said.

"Magistrate Zhang is really a studious person. I came here every day for the past three days. In fact, all the greenhouse technologies I know are in this book in my hand. You can take it back and study it carefully, combining practice with theory." Yuan Shandao.

In fact, Yuan Shan, who is studious like Zhang Baojun, still likes him very much, but you can't come here every day to ask questions, but Yuan Shan can't say anything, so he just copied down all the greenhouse technology and gave it to him, so that he can go back and study it himself. Allowing him to acquire knowledge can also reduce his troubles.

Zhang Baojun took the manuscript book and said: "Great shed technology cultivation technology, thank you Yuan Pushe for giving me the book, I will definitely study hard after I go back, I will leave without disturbing Pushe."

Zhang Baojun took the books and left as soon as he found a treasure. Yuan Shanxin said that he was relieved to put the [-] vegetable greenhouses in Xinfeng, because people like Zhang Baojun were sure that the people of Xinfeng would benefit. Said: "Chu Mo, help me find Yu Jingming."

Outside, Cheng Chu silently said, "Okay."

Soon Yu Jingming came over and said, "Why does Yuan Pushe want me?"

"Tomorrow, go to Xinfeng to see the situation of the greenhouse project there, and remember to understand the actual situation from the people." Yuan Shan said.

"I'm going tomorrow. I'm going to the pork shop to inspect right away. I have to go to the tea shop in the afternoon. I'll go first." Yu Jingming left after finishing speaking. Now these people in the Economic Development Department basically work in this way , The supervisors have to go to several places a day to conduct price investigations.

Yuan Shan took a sip of tea, and then began to paint and draw on the paper. After a while, Liang Ming and Qin Yu, the principals in charge of statistical accounts, came over. As soon as they came in, they said directly: "Yuan Pushe, this is a tea shop." According to the final statistics yesterday, the total income of the commercial bank so far is 12."

After receiving the account, Yuanshan began to check carefully, but he did not expect that the leaves of Eucommia were selling so well. He thought that targeted publicity is the main thing. Now the tea shop mainly promotes Eucommia tea, as a kind of men's health tea. Only this gimmick is enough, but Chen Changshun ordered a large batch of this kind of tea for this time, supplying it to Chunmanyuan every month.

Because the people who go there are very concerned about those things, so the sales are extremely hot, and now Eucommia tea has almost become the exclusive supply of Pingkangfang.

In addition to these several trips to the south to sell tea, if the output of tea in the south is more, the money can be made even more.

Chapter 404 Royal Freezer

In May of the second year of Zhenguan, spring plowing has started for several days. The entire northern prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty are carrying out spring planting. This year, all the plants in the north are corn. The output of this crop and the output of wheat are much higher. , and it is the first time that this kind of exception is planted with other varieties of grain.

Li Shimin attaches great importance to Chun Geng, and he seems to be more serious in the ceremony held at the royal field meeting. The small body of Li Chengqian next to him can only put on a show next to his obedience. class.

Grinning his teeth, it looks like he has used a lot of strength. I don’t know if it’s because the sweat from the clothes has added a lot of points to him. Today is a big day for spring plowing sacrifices, and a kind of ministers also appeared Here, among them is Yuan Shan, who was a servant and is now a high-ranking official.

Yuan Shan secretly handed Li Chengqian a big mother's finger, and Li Chengqian understood and became more serious. Looking at Li Shimin's other sons, Li Tai looked like a prince, and everything kept his subordinates busy. Looking at the younger Basically, it is to help them in their current situation.
