Take the mall to Datang

"You have spent so much time thinking about taking care of these money for you, how will you repay me?" Li Xiuning said.

"Princess, feel free to ask for anything." Yuan Shan said generously, but he still had the second half in his mind that he might not be able to do it.

"I want the manufacturing technology of sewing machines." Li Xiuning said.

"This humble minister cannot agree to His Highness the Princess." Yuan Shan said bluntly.

It’s not because he’s afraid of offending the princess, but he really doesn’t have the blueprint of the sewing machine. Even if he had it, he wouldn’t give it to her. Because of the history of the sewing machine, even the most skilled blacksmith in the Tang Dynasty couldn’t make it. If it’s an imitation It can only be used to make applications that are several times larger. At present, this is impossible. Of course, unless Yuanshan is willing to provide the sewing needles needed for the sewing machine, but in that case, these needles will become a new problem that cannot be explained.

"That's nothing to talk about." The princess said a little angrily.

The princess was not happy, Yuan Shan immediately thought of easing the atmosphere, thinking that the people of the Li family really have a temper, they like to take advantage of others, and they want to get a share of good things.

"I am willing to give the princess a commission to repay the help the princess and the soldiers have provided to my Yuan family these days." Yuan Shan said.

"Huh, this palace is not short of this money. Since Ning Luo doesn't need our help, why stay here and go back with me." Li Xiuning was angry and wanted to leave, Yuan Shan was really happy to see this.

So there was no time to say anything, at this moment Dugu Ruolan said beside Yuan Shan, "Husband."

At this time, Yuan Shan didn't care about Du Ruruolan. At this time, the best thing to do was to keep silent. The princess's petty temper came up as soon as she said it, and the guards evacuated cleanly. Yuan's manor returned to calm.

Dugu Ruolan was actually quite embarrassed. She originally called the princess for help because she was worried that someone would covet the money, but she never thought that the princess would use this to exchange for sewing machine technology. She doesn't know much about these things, but she also knows that sewing machines are such things. She doesn't even want to give it away.

"Don't worry, the princess has the world in her heart and won't care about us." Yuan Shan casually comforted Dugu Ruolan because she was also afraid of hurting the friendship between women.

"It's really disturbing to put so much money in the Yuan family." Yuan Shan said casually.

After experiencing it personally, I realized how much pressure these people have these days. What kind of wealth is 1000 million coins, so I immediately said: "Caiyi quickly send someone to invite the chairman of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Yifu."

Didn't wait too long, Zheng Manchu is now staying at the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce every day. The recent cement sales volume is very good. The building materials chamber of commerce has benefited a lot from the public bathing place. When Yuan Shan came to him, he came without saying anything. Leaving the Yuan family.

Some drinks and snacks had been prepared in the living room, and Yuan Shan was in a good mood after sitting on the sofa and being served by Lan Lan and Cai Yi during this period of exhaustion.

Said to Caiyi on the side: "Caiyi, you have lost a lot of weight. Didn't you have a good meal during this time? It's not good for the housework. Thanks to you to take care of it. If you are exhausted, how can you share the work for my young master? So it’s time to make up for it.”

"Sister Caiyi didn't do this because she was worried about the young master, and I don't know when the young master will accept sister Caiyi as a concubine." Lan Lan said casually from the side.

"Take a concubine? You little girl knows everything. Do you want to take Lan'er as a concubine?" Yuan Shan said immediately.

"Young...Master, Lan'er is just talking nonsense..." Lan Lan immediately replied hesitantly.

Yuan Shan was either serious or just joking, he didn't expect the atmosphere to be so tense, but thinking about it, it might be difficult for these women to leave Yuan's house, and he felt that this kind of life is not bad.

At this moment, the servant knocked on the door, and Caiyi blushed and went to open the door. Lan Lan also put away her joking attitude and simply tidied up the things in the meeting room.

"President Yuan, what do you want me to do?" Zheng Manfu said straight to the point.

Businessmen are so straightforward, this is Yuan Shan's style. Then Yuan Shan said: "For the Cangzhou shipyard, I need your building materials chamber of commerce to provide all the materials for the construction of the shipyard."

"President Yuan, we have already discussed these matters and plan to open a new kiln factory in Cangzhou to supply the construction of Cangzhou Shipyard." Zheng Manfu said.

"I didn't expect President Zheng to be ready. I have thought about the development of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce. How can I be a part of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce? The current materials provided by the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce can meet the infrastructure of the shipyard, but the cement for the construction of the port is still needed." A few labels need to be raised, and Chairman Zheng has to worry about this matter. I will provide some specific experiments, and you need to do it yourself." Yuan Shan said.

Zheng Manfu was very happy when he heard that Yuanshan had mentioned the issue of cement labeling before the establishment of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce. The construction of ordinary houses and ports can be different. The hardness of cement required is different, and the soaking time in water is also different. Cangzhou Shipyard is not the same. For a big project, they don't want the newly built captain to have problems with construction materials, that would be too embarrassing.

"Isn't the construction team of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce developing very well now? It would be better if you contracted the infrastructure project of the Cangzhou Shipyard." Yuan Shan threw a blockbuster directly.

The basic construction of this shipyard is a large project. The construction team of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce only has a few thousand people. Even if they are all pulled over, it will take several years, so this is a large project. But I know that 1000 million guan, as long as more than half of the money will be used for the infrastructure, so that after their building materials merchant association completes this project, they may become the new richest man in Chang'an.

"I will follow President Yuan's arrangement." Zheng Manfu said while restraining his excitement.

"Since that's the case, it's settled, go back immediately and ask someone to come over to collect money." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, I'll arrange the convoy to come over right away," Zheng said with satisfaction.

"You don't need the ready-made ones from my Yuanjia team, but you have to pay the money for hiring the team." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, no problem." Zheng Wan said.

Yuanshan's money-making plan really does not let go of little things. In fact, Yuanshan's real purpose is to divert the money quickly, and it is not a problem to put it in Yuan's house. Since it is a project, follow the project process. conduct.

The first part is to purchase raw materials in advance. The cement, brick, sand and soil are naturally provided by the building materials chamber of commerce. The next step is to hire workers for the construction team. Some people are needed to manage this part of the money. Before the people can be found, there can only be six female accountants from the Yuan family for safekeeping.

The next step is to find Li Chengqian to provide a large amount of iron ore, and to contact the Military Supervision Department for outsourcing the production of steam engine parts, and to find Yang Shan to contact some craftsmen who can build ships. Most of these people need to go to the south. Coast to please.

Chapter 449 Cangzhou Inspector Jiang Chengwang

Spending money like water, this is a new understanding of the Yuan family by the people of Chang'an City in just half a month. If you want to say that Yuan Shan, who has long been known as a money-scattering son, is now even more convinced, Because during this period of time, the Yuan family spent money to hire almost the entire convoy of the Chang Security Department.

The transportation line from Chang'an to Cangzhou was opened in this way. When hiring the right horse-drawn carriage, it is not rented by the number of times, but calculated on a monthly basis. The purpose is to temporarily fill the shortage of Cangzhou's transportation capacity.

After Yuan Shan made such a toss, the carriages in Chang'an became tense, because the carriages traveling between Chang'an and Chengdu for a long time accounted for one-third of the total number of carriages in Chang'an, and the part going to Cangzhou was used by merchants to go to various places in the north and south. Vehicles that deliver goods across state capitals.

When there was such a big commotion in Chang'an, Cangzhou was even more lively. The governor of Cangzhou, Jiang Chengwang, was so happy these days that he couldn't sleep. Originally, Cangzhou was a lower state. Well, Jiang Chengwang didn't feel any difference a month ago when the street court ordered that an area near the sea in Cangzhou be handed over to the merchants for development.

So I didn't pay too much attention to this matter, but the court's will and the person in charge of supervision have arrived. He can only do a good job as the governor of Cangzhou, but it's just a good job, but he never expected to receive the news. A month later, a large number of people poured into Cangzhou. According to incomplete statistics, tens of thousands of people could take a horse-drawn carriage to live here in Cangzhou.

This is not a simple settlement. In order to adapt to such a big change, Jiang Chengwang sent people to carefully collect information on these people who came to Cangzhou suddenly, only to know that these people all came from Chang'an, and they were all from a building materials chamber of commerce. The Chang'an Chamber of Commerce brought it over to build and develop the Cangzhou project.

Before Jiang Chengwang waited to see the situation, Zheng Yiyi of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce came to inform him with the documents on the development of the Cangzhou project. What he was holding was an official document issued by the imperial court, which meant "doing things cheaply". As the governor of the state capital, he can only cooperate.

As a result, half a month later, I saw these people digging pits in an area not far from the sea and investing a lot of steel and other materials. What surprised Jiang Chengwang most was that the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce brought tens of thousands of people, not to mention the third person who had just arrived here. He started recruiting local workers in the first day, and also greeted his elder brother's government. If the government is willing to organize labor, it can be paid according to its hard work.

This is undoubtedly a matter to increase the government's income. In addition to the court's will, Jiang Chengwang really cooperated with all his strength and organized a large number of labor to join the construction of the project. He was a little worried at first, but when the county magistrate reported the money, Everything seems to be in order.

Almost all the people who went to the countryside in Cangzhou came. In just a few days, more than 3 people were invested in the construction of Cangzhou Linhai District. They can eat enough for three meals. Although the monthly salary is not high, they are very willing to do it.

Wei Da and Gong Shunan have been exhausted for the past few days. Not only do they have to worry about various things but also make statistics on the accounts every day, especially worrying about the daily or above. Cangzhou is not like Chang’an. The pig factory and chicken factory that provide a lot of meat, so their recent diet is very monotonous, but the employees are very happy every day, because they can finally have enough to eat.

"Why don't you eat Wei Da?" Gong Shunan asked while holding a Bi Luo.

"I've been eating this for half a month, are you still not tired of eating it? I really can't take it anymore." Wei Da said, Wei Da, who was originally [-] to [-] catties, has lost a lot of weight this month. , according to Gong Shunan's statement, it means that the body that gained weight in the previous year has been lost again.

But this process is very hard. Fortunately, the merchants have such perseverance in some aspects. They have been mentally prepared from the moment they left Chang'an, and they didn't know how to live here until they arrived in Cangzhou. It was worse than they expected.

"I really want to eat the hanging oven roast duck sold in Hepingfang Mall, I also want to eat boiled fish, crystal elbow, braised lion head, and I want to drink Coke." Wei Da said.

"I want to drink Coke too." Gong Shunan held a Biluo in his hand and seemed to follow suit.

However, this fantasy was suddenly interrupted by a worker. There is no house where they are now. The entire Building Materials Chamber of Commerce uses tents and straw sheds as temporary living places. The building currently under construction is part of the shipyard. The purpose is to give the shipyard employees a place to live in the future. After the construction is completed, it will be temporarily used as the residence and office of the employees of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce.

While we were still eating, the employee came in to report some problems that Wei Da and Gong Shunan needed to deal with. For things that couldn't be done, they took this Bi Luo in their hands first, and then went out with the staff to deal with things.

In fact, their side is pretty good. In order to build a cement kiln, Zheng Yiman inspected several places one after another in the past half a month, and set the place at a distance of several kilometers from the shipyard, because building a cement kiln is not too difficult. That's why they paid extra attention when choosing the location, and because of its special nature, the cement kiln couldn't be close to the inhabited area of ​​the village. It took Zheng Xin a lot of time to find out this place.

Fortunately, the location has been confirmed. If Wei Da has lost weight due to the busy period, Zheng Yifu has lost weight twice in a row. Also, the food they eat is no different from the work meals of ordinary workers. This is at least a good way quality.

"Wei Da, Gong Shunan, I have found a place to build a kiln factory. I will write to the chamber of commerce tomorrow to ask the chamber of commerce to take action." Zheng satisfied and said directly to the two of them when he came over.
