Take the mall to Datang

Suddenly some people came over and no one paid attention to it. After all, what kind of things can we encounter in such a lively scene? Everyone feels happy and no one cares. It’s just that everyone around Yuan Shan knows that Mr. Li who just arrived is Datang What about the emperor Li Shimin, but the address just now indicated that he should not reveal his identity, and the people here are also smart people, so naturally they won't point it out.

It's just that Li Chengqian was embarrassed, so he took advantage of the matter of taking the bowl and ran away immediately, but he never thought that he would not be able to hide from the temple if he hid from the monk, so he came back with this pair of bowls and chopsticks after a fierce inner struggle.

"The singing just now was good, but it's not appropriate for a prince to do these things." Before Yuan Shan knew what Li Shimin was doing here, he heard him educating his son in a subtle way while he was speaking.Li Zhi almost rushed over and was suddenly stopped by Li Ke.

After whispering, Lizhi calmed down, and then saw her looking for a lot of food on the table, then brought it to Li Shimin's table and said: "This is the delicious food that Princess Lizhi has eaten, father... Master Li eats it. .”

"Lizhi is so good, go play with your brothers." Li Shimin said.

After making a big announcement about these people, no one came to bother him, so he chatted with Yuan Shan.

"Yuanshan, you suddenly brought up the Winter Games and didn't even go to the Ministry of Economics and Development for several days. What's the reason?" Li Shimin asked.

Isn't this just saying that he was negligent and absent from work? The decision is still frank: "This is the third winter sports meeting this year because the Ministry of Economic Development is too busy. The main reason is that I don't want to give up the impact of this winter event. , If you give up halfway through the previous efforts, it will be in vain. I just want to let the people of Datang know that there is still an activity that can burn enthusiasm for them to participate in such a cold winter and make them feel happy. Secondly, because this activity can make people feel happy. Wealthy businessmen in Chang’an have joined together to promote the development and construction of Lantian County, and in the end, they want to encourage the common people to engage in national fitness through such a sports meeting, so as to enhance their physical fitness and improve their physical fitness.”

"Well, this event is also very good. I heard that the previous two events were also very successful. It seems that there is a female sword fairy who has made a name for herself." Li Shimin said.

"Yes, that female sword fairy is the daughter of Guo Shouyi, the magistrate of Lantian County, and she is also my young apprentice. As for the female sword fairy, it is just a compliment from people and cannot be taken seriously," Yuan Shan said.

To be so specific, the main thing is to explain Guo Xiang's situation. Does he know that Li Shimin is not a kind person, especially when it comes to female sex? His apprentice, if this majesty reports male hormones, he should also take his feelings into consideration. Yuan Shan believes that the current Li Shimin should be able to control these things.

Li Shimin wanted to say a lot, and this time he came here to ask about the microphone and speaker, but the ancients always liked to beat around the bush when they talked, and Yuan Shan hated this way of communication the most, but at this moment, Yuan Shan just didn’t like it. Taking the initiative to talk about business matters made Li Shimin feel powerless.

"Yuanshan, that speaker and microphone can actually amplify the sound, isn't it really a magic spell?" Li Shimin still asked.

"Mr. Li is too imaginative. It has nothing to do with spells. It's just something about physics. I don't know the mystery. I just made it according to what the teacher taught. If Mr. Li likes to wait for the end of the sports meeting After that, I will organize an auction, and you can come and bid for whatever you like," Yuan Shan said.

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth are twitching, because this Yuanshan really wants money, and what makes people feel a sense of powerlessness is that this Yuanshan vowed to talk about all the problems, just like this auction that has no shadow yet. It's clear that he doesn't want to dedicate things to him, and this style of doing things really makes people feel uncomfortable with him.

"Auction, this is very new." Li Shimin said, obviously interested in it.

"The auction was shockingly organized in the Yuan family. The scale of the auction is slightly larger this time. It will be held on the first floor of Chang'an. By then, the news will spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. It will definitely be another feast." Good to say.

Li Shimin didn't continue to ask, because Yuan Shan didn't directly say the content, so he knew that what he heard was only these things, so Li Shimin didn't mention it anymore. The aura is not so easily concealed.

Several groups of people around Yuan Shan came to toast, Li Shimin just smiled and didn't say anything, just when Li Shimin was about to leave, Yuan Shan asked suddenly: "I don't know what Mr. Li thinks about Fusang sending the Tang envoy."

Li Shimin stared at Yuan Shan and wondered why he suddenly mentioned this. In fact, the reason why he didn’t see the Tang envoy was simply because he, the emperor, was too busy, and the reason was that every time an envoy from another country came, he would give a reward. Moreover, every time the rewards are not too simple, Li Shimin is a relatively frugal emperor. He actually doesn't want to do things like giving away his own money, and he is very busy, so the matter of Fusang sending Tang envoys was put on hold by him. in the back.

"Is Yuanshan interested in Fusang? Why don't you tell me first." Li Shimin said immediately.

Li Shimin is not stupid. Since Yuanshan raised this matter on his own initiative, it must not be aimless, so he asked directly. You must know that Yuanshan usually does not participate in the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he is only interested in money business in the Ministry of Economics and Development, so He still looks forward to what Yuan Shan can say about the emissary he mentioned.

"As far as I know, Fusang is an island country with a small land and a small population, but this is only temporary because this is not the first time that the Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. During the Sui Dynasty, Fusang sent people here. From this point of view, Fusang people have come to the forefront in their exploration of unknown areas and their admiration for great powers, and it is really because of this that they have to guard against it." Yuan Shangang stopped here as he said.

"Why?" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

"People's desire is unlimited. If this desire is infected into a country, it will breed its greedy desire. Imagine that they come to learn the knowledge of my Tang Dynasty. When they develop, they will not be satisfied and only occupy a small island. This is actually true. It’s the same with the Turkic people and Tubo, the current Fusang is still weaker than them, but when they develop, it will definitely be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty.” Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin didn't like Yuan Shan's theory of imaginary enemies very much. It was like saying bad things about a person, but after thinking about it, there was still some truth, and more doubts and puzzles.

"I hope my analysis is wrong." At this moment Yuan Shan said so suddenly, obviously he didn't want to say any more.

Chapter 495 Synthetic Rubber

After the opening ceremony of the movement, many people returned early very reluctantly, otherwise they would not be able to enter after the curfew of Chang'an City. I still don't feel tired, and my face is full of excitement. The song at the opening ceremony was the most talked about, and some people hummed incomplete tunes while walking.

Li Shimin's carriage had just come out of Blue River Village, and just now the envoys from Fusang Kingdom staged a scene of a coincidence. Unfortunately, they were stopped before they were fifty steps away from the carriage, and they were released after some explanations.

This made Quan Shang and Pharmacist almost desperate. In fact, this matter is not troublesome. It's just that they can't change into Datang's clothes when arranging a coincidence.

Li Shimin already knew what happened just now, but he didn't say much, and he didn't embarrass those Fusang people. It's just that this action made Li Shimin feel that these Fusang people seemed very frivolous. He, the emperor, asked them to report to Honglu Temple and wait for a summons, so he couldn't be honest. To be honest, I have to try every means to get close to him, and the most important thing is that today's trip is a temporary decision, but it is not so simple to be found by others so quickly.

As the emperor, Li Shimin is very cautious in everything he does, especially when it comes to his personal safety. At present, he thinks that either there are informers in the palace, or there are spies from the Fusang people in some key places, so what? It is worth investigating deeply if people can grasp his whereabouts.

"These Fusang people are really not that simple." After thinking about it, Li Shimin discovered the problem.

During the Sui Dynasty, the Fusang Kingdom had official contacts, and many people knew about the events at that time, but there were informal contacts after that, or did anyone deliberately train some spies in the Tang Dynasty? , No one can tell clearly, but Li Shimin asked himself if he was the emperor of Fusang, he would definitely arrange spies to collect intelligence around the country.

So Li Shimin had nothing to do on the way back and started to brainstorm. What Yuan Shan said to him was also thought over and over again. It is very contradictory, but at the same time it is worth paying attention to. After all, Lan Tianhou has never taken the initiative to ask about the affairs of the court. There must be something he doesn't know about being so abnormal today.

After returning to the palace, Li Shimin waved Ma He to leave, and took away his autographed letter at the same time. At night, in Chang'an City, some new faces appeared around the inn where the Fusang people lived.

In the inn, all the Fusang people gathered in a guest room, some were letting the wind in front of the window, and some were listening to the door, surrounded by Inugami Mita in front of the table and said: "From now on, we must pay close attention to that Lantian. From Hou's movements, it can be seen that he has no good intentions for us. Besides, didn't he say that he wants to do business with our emperor, so let's see what he means, but during the contact with him, Kojiro, you must control you Don't ruin our plan as an envoy to Tang Dynasty just because of verbal matters."

At this time, the pharmacist Hui Ri said: "Mr. Quan, I just received the news that I have collected the news of Lantian Hou Yuanshan."

As he said that, he took out a piece of paper full of dense handwriting, and Quanshang took it over curiously and looked at it. The handwriting on it was crooked like ghost symbols, and all the information on it was bad street news, but for For these Fusang people, it is not so simple.

"Pharmacist, I didn't expect that this Marquis of Lantian is not only so rich but also in charge of a department. With such power, he wouldn't have such an attitude towards us."

Pharmacist Hui Ri said immediately: "Yes, it is said that the Marquis of Lantian was very rich, and in the Tang Dynasty he could buy anything he wanted, which was also approved by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

In fact, there are many things that these Fusang people don’t understand yet, but their characteristic is that they respect and worship those who are stronger than them. Although Lan Tianhou is very rude to the emperor they are loyal to today, so what about waiting for them to learn Returning to the country after the powerful method of the Tang Dynasty can also make their Fusang history stronger.

"Pharmacist, after reading the news, I'm afraid we really have to meet this Marquis of Lantian. Let's start with doing business with him." Inugami Mita said, they are still very puzzled now I don’t know what to do with buying Fusang women with such a large population in the Tang Dynasty, but according to Lan Tianhou’s information, this person is very romantic. Among the things he has done, he once bought hundreds of maids. In the eyes of Fusang people, it is just a hobby. They feel that they can get in touch with each other deeply from this point.

After one night, the weather was calm, Yuan Shan did not go to watch the sports meeting today, Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu went together early, in order to ensure their safety, Yuan Shan specially used Yunfeng, the captain of the Beiya Forbidden Army, to personally lead the team along the way Protect.

This is one of Yuanshan's privileges. There is a guard of 200 people who can be deployed at any time. Then Yuanshan started to work in his backyard pavilion. However, a lot of profits have been obtained, such as paraffin and kerosene. The technology of these two products is relatively mature, but Yuan Shan has not forgotten the development of rubber.

And today he decided to stay here because his oil workshop has made a breakthrough in rubber products. The hard solid rubber is now placed on the workbench in the pavilion for Yuanshan to study.

No matter what Yuanshan did, he did not delay the construction of the back mountain, especially the ground of the entire factory area of ​​the oil refinery is basically paved with asphalt, and the lubricating oil applied to all the bearings produced by Yuanjia also comes from the refinery , and rubber products are much more complicated than those that can be directly refined, because rubber refined from petroleum requires polymerization and is a synthetic compound.

In order to make rubber, there is a lot of investment. The most difficult thing is not the investment of money but the lack of talents in this area. Therefore, when Yuan Shan is busy doing business, he still needs to study the production force of refining equipment and synthesis equipment. Don’t think that you have it. The system mall can easily build these devices, but on the other hand, it is subject to certain constraints in terms of Datang technology.

But now it’s okay, Yuanjia Workshop sold a lot of equipment for the construction of the Cangzhou Shipyard project this time, many of which have undergone some upgrades and maintenance, so after continuous efforts, the equipment used in the oil workshop has been completed, and A shapeless lump of rubber on a table right now is the best product.

Chapter 496 Distribution Map of Datang Mineral Resources

On the first day of the sports meeting, more intense competitions were arranged, such as the ice dragon boat race. Because of some flaws in the design of the ice hull of the last event, the onlookers burst into laughter, so this time for the To avoid this happening, the Carpenters Alliance and Chang'an blacksmiths made some adjustments to the ice dragon boat. The speed may not be too fast, but the problem now is that it will not spin around on the ice at will.

After increasing the taste of competition, there is also less entertainment. On the same day, some events such as long-distance running, sprinting, high jump, long jump, and throwing were also held in the sports field. Although it is not as intense as the competition system, I watched them compete a lot People also come to see something new.

The first three days were basically all these track and field sports, and the top three in the finals were also divided, and the competitions in the next four days were much more intense. For example, the big polo and football games are the biggest two games a day. It made the audience very happy to watch, and the football match also added luster to the competitions of the sports meeting.

The next few days were also very lively, a group of military generals brought their soldiers to watch the game together, and the whole stadium's crowd cheering and cheering was not too lively.

The sports meeting in the fifth year of Zhenguan has helped many people. First of all, the singers and dancers who performed at the opening ceremony. During this period of time, Pingkangfang was quite lively. It started to organize performances in Pingkangfang every day, which made the business of Chunmanyuan a lot better.

After this experience, the prince and his group went to show off everywhere. The second generation of the aristocratic circle usually have nothing to do, and they feel that they have face wherever they go.

And this opening ceremony made Xiyin famous, and the guitar became one of the hottest topics, and the songs sung were spread. Many people can't sing, but there are smart people. , Record all these lyrics with super memory and then write them down and sell them.

What these people leave behind can only be gossip topics, and those who really get the benefits of money are the investment businessmen, especially the shopkeepers in the food area who have sold a lot of business in the past seven days. The couple surnamed Zhang who sold porridge found out that their income in the past few days had exceeded their half-year income after the final statistics of their money. Store business is also much better than usual.

As for those businessmen who invested a lot of money and gained fame, and their product slogans became the topic of discussion, the people who participated in the opening ceremony got all the sports games, and they reaped happiness.
