Take the mall to Datang

"Master Hou, is this true?" Zheng Qi was excited, this time his investment was all right.

You must know that the high-end iron bicycles sold by the Yuan family can be sold for 150 guan, followed by [-] guan and [-] guan. If the cost is only [-] guan, then his business will be profitable.

"By the way, when it comes to publicity, if those rich men are interested in bicycles, holding more bicycle competitions is a good means of publicity. In a short time, the Yuan family will not build a bicycle production line, so the entire Datang The sales of bicycles will be built by your Zheng family." Yuan Shan said.

"The sales volume is made by our Zheng family, Lord Hou Zheng has been touched by you." Zheng Qi said gratefully.

Yuan Shan looked disgusted, looking at Zheng Qi's big face, he really didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Chapter 506 28 Mines

The news that the Hou Mansion earned a million dollars in one day was well known in Chang'an City. The news of the auction spread the fastest in the business district. Some merchants who were not able to participate in the auction in a short time felt sorry for it.

Chang'an City became lively due to the gathering of merchants. As the richest man in Chang'an City, the Zheng family expressed to the merchants that these days Zheng's mansion held banquets and entertained consecutively, and the singing and dancing performances were all contracted to Chunmanyuan.

Chen Changshun has made a lot of money for Chunmanyuan in the past few days. The reason is that the songs, dances and songs performed by the girls are all unique, and they are all written by Yuan Shan.

After the auction, Chen Changshun signed a cooperation contract with Yuan Shan on behalf of Chunmanyuan. The current Chunmanyuan has changed everything inside except for the plaque in the big courtyard which is still Chunmanyuan.

It turns out that the abutment in the pavilion has now completely turned into a stage, which is similar to the stage of later generations. The microphone, speaker, and human power generation equipment have all been installed, and now they are waiting for further decoration. The courtyard was built into "Paramount", and Chang'an's "Paramount Ballroom".

The decoration standard is very strict, according to the most luxurious configuration, glass lighthouse, granite surface, marble steps, steel railings, spring floor to decorate, even the walls of Chunmanyuan were demolished and expanded.

Helpless, Chen Changshun had no choice but to come out and find work for singers and dancers. Since the sports meeting, these girls have become very popular. Almost every day, they will go to the palaces of princes and nobles to perform. It is a very face-saving thing in the circle, and the singers of Chunmanyuan have a certain reputation because of this.

Taking advantage of this time, Yuan Shan joined in, the first move was so big, for the construction of the ballroom Chun Man Yuan has changed beyond recognition.

The current Hou Ye Mansion is rich and willful, and can spend whatever it wants, but the idle singers and dancers are not without work, and they all live on the flower boats on the banks of the Jianghuai River for the time being.

It's not that simple, Yuanhou Lord's money is not so easy to get, since he made the investment, all these singers and dancers became his people, so Chunmanyuan was the first to fire the old bustard, which was even more shocking Yes, Chunmanyuan actually announced that it was transformed into a dance hall.

The front of Chunmanyuan has been covered by the construction team with cloth. No one knows what happened inside, but the news of the ballroom spread quickly, because the other courtyards of Pingkangfang were all looking lively.

"Master Hou, this is really good. Now that Mr. Chen has become the focus when he goes out, there are many questions that Mr. Chen can't answer." Chen Changshun said.

"Don't worry, what kind of curiosity is there to mobilize popularity, besides, Guanshi Chen doesn't want to become a celebrity in society, it's great to be popular." Yuan Shan joked.

"Chen came here today to report on the training of a singer. Now the girls are working very hard, but the name of Chunmanyuan must be changed." Chen Changshun said.

"The name doesn't really matter. It's just that it looks more friendly after changing it. The name Chang'an Chunmanyuan Song and Dance Hall is so good." Yuan Shan said.

"Since Master Hou said so, Chen has nothing to say. The contract of selling the singer and dancer is here, and now it is handed over to Master Hou." Chen Changshun said.

Yuan Shan looked at it and said, "Don't worry, the money has already been prepared, and these girls still need you to take care of their daily life, and the employment fee will be handled according to the contract."

There are 160 seven girls in Chunmanyuan, which is regarded as a good one. Yuanshan always adopts the principle of voluntary when he spends money to redeem people, but once he chooses to follow Yuanshan, he still cannot leave this place of feasting and feasting.

But none of these people hesitated, their situation was already like this, they didn't need to think too much, anyway, they had nothing to lose.

So it didn't take long before new news broke out in the Great Wall, and Lan Tianhou became a figure of discussion.

Yuan Shan didn't pay attention to this matter at all, and if he didn't answer, some officials with good deeds wanted to talk about it. He built a private courtyard by himself, which was extravagant and cost millions of dollars to build.

How can such news not be shocking? Many businessmen who are still in Chang'an preparing to bid are inquiring about Yuanshan's news every day. Naturally, business competition is not that simple. Some people even squat in Houye's mansion to check Yuanshan's situation .

There are those who give gifts, those who visit and give gifts, and those who receive gifts from old friends. There are always such things that can be described as varied.

The doormen in Lantianhou's Mansion were exhausted.

Yuan Shan doesn't care what these people are doing. He is very busy now. On the one hand, the construction of the people's bathing place is finishing up. On the other hand, the Datang Mining Company is very busy. After the early stage exploration, many iron ore sites have been identified.

After a while, Yuanshan will invite bids for the 28 small and medium-sized mines that have been counted, and the open-pit mines will be excavated by the Datang Mining Company. As for the large iron mines, they will be protected first.

In the Ministry of Economics and Development, Yuan Shan was having a meeting with everyone.

"Let's discuss the distribution of mining rights," Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming immediately said: "At present, there are more than 28 merchants who intend to apply for mining rights, but there are only [-] mining sites that can be taken out. Will the distribution involve princes and nobles?"

"Jingming's concern is very important. Princes and nobles use merchants as protection to be the actual beneficiaries. But will this matter really be banned? The minerals owned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone are a big problem. Your Majesty does not want the princes Nobles intervene, but can this really change?" Yuan Shan said.

"What does Yuan Pushe mean?" Yu Jingming asked.

"In fact, what we want to catch is the group of businessmen in front of us. No matter who is behind them, as long as there are no problems in the bidding and mining is carried out in accordance with the regulations, it is considered to meet our conditions. As for the interests involved, I will leave it to your majesty to solve Well, I believe His Majesty will agree." Yuan Shan said.

There is no emperor who does not like to do such things as issuing decrees and then arresting people's pigtails.

Yu Jingming seemed to understand a little bit and didn't say much. Hao Dayi, you don't say anything: "Xin Zhengjian, the research and development of Kaishan explosives from the Military Weapons Supervision, has received news. They can prepare some in the early stage, and the price is not bad."

"Well, the matter of Kaishan explosives is very important, but we must remember that these explosives must be constructed by the blasting team organized by the imperial court, and such things as explosives must not be passed on to the outside world. The departments are well coordinated, and the procedures must not be sloppy." Yuan Shan reminded.

"Yes."

Chapter 507 Silla Sends Tang Envoy Jin Mingzhong

Before the Ministry of Economics and Development announced anything, everything was calm and everything was proceeding step by step.

The imperial court is very busy now. Li Shimin is dealing with the affairs of the Li family's clan. The imperial court is paying attention to the trends in the Dangxiang area. The Mobei Turks are still a hidden danger in the Tang Dynasty. It seems that there is not much change, but in fact it is promoting the development of society.

After the merchants gathered in Chang'an, Chang'an's economy showed signs of development. The two shopping malls of the Yuan family and the Xue family in Chang'an made businessmen in various state capitals aware of business opportunities.

In the past, they relied on the eldest grandson's family and Zheng's family to distribute, but the candle merchants came to the right place this time. These small businesses seem to be unpopular, but the profits inside are very large. You must know that since Chen Changshun can make money with candles in Pingkangfang, As for other businessmen, the prostitution industry in various state capitals is also doing well.

Many businessmen are taking action, including wholesale matches, as well as custom-made water jacket furnaces and radiators. As long as they can make them look profitable, they will not let go. In the past few days, Yuanjia's bearing factory has received a large number of bearings. Order.

Now the four-wheeled carriages are ordered directly from the Carpenters Union, and then sell the finished products. Now Yuan Jingai's carriage industry has completely changed from subcontracting to parts suppliers. After all, the income has not decreased but increased before, and there is room for it. A lot of work.

I have to say that Zhang Xingzhi, the representative of the Carpenters Union, has a very flexible mind and can catch the market demand at the critical moment. Most merchants want to be able to buy ready-made carriages, even if they are more expensive, it doesn’t matter, after all, the carriages move every minute All you earn is money.

Another major event is that the Tang envoys from Linyi and Silla have arrived in Chang'an.

The imperial court is mainly dealing with this matter now, and the Ministry of Economic Development has nothing to say about it, and no officials care about this matter.

Honglu Temple has become a popular place these days. After all, there are foreign guests coming to the Tang Dynasty one after another. There are many things that need to be done, such as evaluating the tributes, preparing gifts, entertaining foreign guests and other daily chores. It is almost possible to make foreign guests feel at home. Feel.

Soon, the unwelcome foreign guests from Fusang and Silla foreign guests walked together. If there is a relationship between them, neighboring countries that are geographically separated from each other, they still have a lot of common languages.

In the private room of Zuixian Building, today is the day when Fusang Kingdom sent the Tang envoy dog ​​Shangsantian to entertain Jin Mingzhong, the Tang envoy sent by Silla, and the two groups had a good chat together.

"I didn't expect Lan Tianhou to be in the population business." Jin Mingzhong muttered, as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Aren't you curious about what he's going to do?" Inugami Mita asked doubtfully.

"What else is there? Silla maidservants are very popular in the eyes of Tang people. What surprised me is that the Marquis of Lantian would take the initiative to make such a request like your Fusang country. I just don't know how you will respond." Jin Ming Zhong said.

After Inugami Mitasui communicated with Yuan Shan at the sports venue last time, they thought it was the crime of Yuan Shan from the people of Fusang, but after careful inquiry, they found out that there was no such thing at all.

Then after some investigations, I found out that Yuan Shan had bought a large number of singers a long time ago, and everyone in Chang'an City knew about it, even Lantian Hou's lewd and romantic news was clearly investigated. Good news is not difficult at all in Chang'an City, and there are many if you just collect it.
