Take the mall to Datang

The people who were still in shock saw that there were guests coming to visit and they immediately went to sit down and prepare. The people who came were all acquaintances, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie and other generals, civil servants including Du Ruhui, and people from the Ministry of Economics and Development, and the military supervisor came to congratulate Soon, more than a dozen people gathered in the Yuan family, and many of them left after congratulating them. As for the gifts, there were not many.

"Why are you happy to hear people call you Lord Hou now?" Cheng Zhijie asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm happy in my heart." Yuan Shan said frankly.

"You really don't shy away from it, kid. I like this character." Cheng Zhijie said.

Soon these people had a meal in the banquet hall of the Yuan family. At the dinner table, Du Ruhui whispered to Yuan Shan: "Yuan Shan, I have already recommended you to be Minister of the Ministry of War. Don't talk about it. Listen to me. I know you don't like being an official, but you may not know the current situation in the court. Don't look at the gathering of civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Many people who accompanied His Majesty passed away one after another. It’s also very bad, so I hope you can temporarily serve as Minister of the Ministry of War at this stage of the court’s reserve of talents, and His Majesty has agreed that this time, no matter what, you can’t refuse.”

Du Ruhui and Yuan Shan muttered to the side, Cheng Zhijie and others were a little drunk, only Qin Qiong was very sober, but even if he heard it, he wouldn't say anything more about this kind of thing.

Yuan Shan's originally happy face showed some bitterness. To be honest, he didn't want to be an official at all, but after listening to some things Du Ruhui said, he realized that he had really overlooked something, and then fell into deep thought. .

Now that the Yuan family's industry has already reached a large scale, it is not too much to say that it is too much to make money every day, but he suddenly thought that the era he is in is called the Tang Dynasty. But prosperity does not mean peace.

Let’s not talk about foreign enemies, just talk about what will happen to the court after that Wu Mei attacks. Although this female emperor has the ability to know people and do things well, she is also ruthless when killing people. The thought of someone who can kill a killer makes people shudder. Now it is the fourth year of Zhenguan in [-]. There is no way to keep the peace for too long. It stands to reason that people like Du Ruhui should have passed away long ago.

And the important ministers in the court who have passed away one after another are also a new situation, just like those who are doing now, these people have a very good relationship with him, but the world is impermanent. , he asked himself ignorantly that his relationship with Li Chengqian could not avoid being involved in it.

From this point of view, if you are being manipulated as a pawn, it is better to make yourself stronger, and then you can make your own voice. He is not a fool for political investment. In this era, if you want to have the right to speak, you must have enough strength. Support him to do this.

"Okay, I promise." Yuan Shan said.

Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would spend a lot of time persuading Yuan Shan to agree, but he didn't expect to agree so simply this time, which actually surprised Du Ruhui.

"Hahaha, Uncle Du, let's have a drink." Yuan Shan said with a smile.

The people who drank this wine were very happy. In order to celebrate Yuan Shan, they took out a jar of high-quality wine, and Cheng Zhijie took the rest of the wine back. After everyone left, everyone in the Yuan family celebrated again. After a while.

The news of Yuanshan being named Marquis spread quickly, and in less than a day, everyone in Chang'an basically knew about it. For this reason, the two shopping malls of Yuanjia also launched promotional activities, and the [-]% discount on the whole site attracted many people at once. People from all walks of life come to Lantian County Department Store for consumption.

The next day, Yuan Shan took his family to Chang'an. After being promoted to the Marquis of Lantian this time, he was able to have a mansion. This time, he really had a place of food. Death is enough.

The new mansion is in Yong'an Square. When Dafang Yuanshan passed by, he was still very curious. After arriving at the place, he was really shocked. It is a house with three courtyards. I don't know how big it is, but each courtyard is basically a three-entry pattern, and there are three such large houses in a row to form a super large courtyard.

"This is the Hou Mansion, it's really big." He Ye said excitedly.

The area of ​​this courtyard is actually smaller than that of Yuanjia Manor, but the house and building structure are much more spacious. It is already very good to have such a large house in such a limited land use area in Chang'an City.

Yuan Shan went in and saw that there was no decoration at all. If it could meet the occupancy standard, it would at least need to be completely renovated. After handing over the land deed to the police who came, Caiyi and the others immediately began to plan the purchases.

When she came out of the house, Caiyi already had several pages of paper in her hands, all of which were full of records.

"Finally found a house in Chang'an City." Yuan Shan said with emotion.

"Ruolan, Qianyu, do you like this place? It's up to you to decorate the house." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, we are good at decorating houses." Du Ruruolan said.

In fact, Yuan Shan knew in his heart that he would seldom go to the manor in Lantian, where he was in officialdom in the future, and he suddenly thought about how to revoke the curfew in Chang'an City.

When leaving the house, Yuanshan suddenly found that his neighbor was Yu Wenjishi's mansion. On the other side of the mansion, because he hadn't been there yet, he didn't know who it was. Time was running out, so Yuanshan could only go one way in a carriage, so everyone went like this Leaving Chang'an City.

In the next few days, Yuanjia Manor will welcome a group of guests every day. The visitors are guests and all of them are here to congratulate Yuanshan. Every time they have to entertain them, the civil and military officials will come regardless of whether they know them or not. There were quite a few people, and Yuan Shan got to know some of them while he was busy.

It's already like this before he is actually in office. Thinking about why there weren't so many people celebrating for him when he was the Minister of the Ministry of War before, it is obvious that the civil and military officials are more intimate this time.

Chapter 469 Blue River Village Project

As soon as he left the manor, he was called Yuan Shan by the Lord Hou, and he felt very comfortable.

The shopping mall in Lantian Economic Development Zone has started to promote products, and the medical center also has some benefits. Not only that, the employees working in Yuanjia’s industry will give some bonuses. Floating to the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, the tens of thousands of female workers involved have no mood to work.

Zheng Qi expressed helplessness over this, because at this moment he was also attending a dinner party with a group of people.

"This Marquis of Yuanshan is really wonderful. It's a headache for people like us to calculate the income of the family every day. Sometimes I really envy him." Xue Kai said.

While talking, you still looked at Yuan Shan who was socializing with others, Zheng Qi was beside you and said, "Uncle Xue, you can live this kind of life as long as you think about it."

"Don't you understand our situation? If we are all like this, what will the people in our family do? Everyone in the family can inherit the family business and keep their jobs." Xue Kai said.

"What Uncle Xue said is really straightforward." Zheng Qi responded, there are capable people, but there are also straw bags of rice, as long as the juniors don't mess around with wealth, it's okay.

The Yuan family's gatherings are basically buffets, barbecues are indispensable, and today is no exception, but soon Yuan Shan was surrounded by a group of businessmen.

When Zheng Qi and Xue Kai were talking, they could hear laughter on the other side. Businessmen would never let go of an opportunity to exchange things at a party. It was no wonder that Yuan Shan was surrounded by these businessmen. The purpose was simple. They The grain in hand needs to be sold. After the negotiation just now, the Yuan family bought a lot of grain at a price lower than the market price. At the same time, the scale of the pig farm was expanding.

This time, it was requested by the magistrate of Lantian County to add two pilot farmers in Lantian County, so in the past few days, Ma Lizheng in Lanhe Village has already started to prepare for it.

Yu Jingming and Ma Zhou happened to be talking to Yuan Shan about the Ministry of Economics and Development today when they were going to get together. The Ministry of Economics and Development earned a lot of money after moving you for so much time. Tea, pork business is very good.

In addition to the meat directly supplied to the major kitchens by Yili Erlizhuang, the Ministry of Economic Development has basically become the largest seller, and the first batch of pork from the farm invested by the Ministry of Economic Development is almost ready for slaughter. The return on income can be very impressive.

The vegetable business in Xinfeng County is also quite good. After winter, the vegetables in Xinfeng County will enter the most profitable stage.

Although the current Department of Economic Development is a little lower than it, it can be a very hot department, because it can use money every day to make benefits, and the current number of clerks is nearly double that of before Yuan Shan left. Now They have grown to hundreds of people.

A group of people surrounded Yuan Shan at the beginning, but later these people began to surround Yu Jingming and Ma Zhou, because they just announced that they would buy a batch of grain in large quantities, but the purchase price was much lower.

But even so, the merchants are very interested, thinking that the Ministry of Economic Development has already stated the purchase quantity, as long as a deal is reached with them, the corn in the hands of many people will all be turned into money.

This news was absolutely shocking, and the merchants probably believed in their hearts that this was more important than Yuan Shan's promotion to Lord Marquis. After all, it was a matter of their own interests.

This freed Yuan Shan from the crowd. Zhang Baojun, the county magistrate of Xinfeng County, and Guo Shouyi, the magistrate of Lantian County, didn't know what to say together at this moment, and walked over immediately after seeing Yuan Shan.

After the two exchanged pleasantries with Yuan Shan, they began to talk about business. Guo Shouyi said: "The farmers in Houye Lanhe Village have been counted, and the pig house is now being resolved. It should be put into use before winter. It's just that we are afraid of the winter weather. Pigs will have a bad influence, and I want Master Hou to give us advice on this."

"In fact, there is no need to worry about this. As long as the pig house is built according to the requirements, it should not be a big problem based on the estimated investment scale. The farms invested by Yilizhuang have already had a lot of experience in raising pigs. When the time comes, they will deploy technical backbones to go to the farm. Instructed, and there will be a dedicated team to guide the breeding in the first season, so don’t worry.” Yuan Shan said.

It can be seen that Guo Shouyi is still very nervous about this project. This can be regarded as a project invested by Lantian County. It has the same nature as the vegetable greenhouse in Xinfeng County, and even the procedures for the loan are the same. The Ministry of Economic Development is responsible for the investment. and operations management.

In addition to being nervous about this pig raising project, Guo Shouyi is also very anxious, because seeing the vegetables in Xinfeng County are selling so well, he would be lying if he said he was not envious. In the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, investment and business have not yet been carried out on a county-by-county basis. Yes, and now Guo Shouyi is the second one. Although they are all handled by the Ministry of Economics and Development, the real bigwigs in the court all have an attitude of neither supporting nor opposing. Future official careers will suffer ups and downs.

It is so realistic. Sometimes in the official system, what they value more may be the joint relationship. Officials with no background always feel like they are on thin ice.

Guo Shouyi is a cautious person, which doesn't mean that he is timid, it's just a habit he has cultivated from being an official. This time, he made a lot of determination before deciding to engage in the project, so I know that after seeing Yuan Shan now, he still feels uncomfortable. Down-to-earth feeling.

Yuan Shan could actually see some of the other party's worries. He was also like this when he first cooperated with Zhang Baojun, but Zhang Baojun was more willing to fight than Guo Shouyi. Now that Guo Shouyi had to fight, he was also willing to help.

Moreover, the current situation is that Zheng Qi, Xue Kai and others have not agreed to participate in the pig raising project, so if no one cooperates with the grain needed by the pig farm in Lanhe Village, it can only be provided by the Yuan family. What Yuanshan does not want to see is that there is no solution in the end. It is nothing more than taking more risks. Yuanshan is not afraid of taking risks at all, but the speed of capital return makes Yuanjia may face insufficient capital circulation for a long time to come. dilemma.

At that time, Yuanshan will have to hold a meeting about money again. There are only so many rich people around him. Now that various projects are going very smoothly, it may still be difficult to get Datang merchants to pay again.

Just when Yuan Shan fell into short-term thinking, Guo Shouyi thought Yuan Shan had fallen ill again, so he immediately ordered someone to call the Yuan family over.

Chapter 470 The Girl Next Door

After being promoted to Lord Marquis, the situation of the Yuan family changed a little. There was a shortage of manpower and they needed to recruit. This time, they were not recruiting employees of the shopping mall, but maidservants, who were mainly responsible for the work of the Marquis House of the Yuan family in Chang'an City.
