Take the mall to Datang

There were several large wooden basins at the door, and then someone started to wash clothes with a washboard in front of everyone, and also used some soap. The free laundry and publicity were really in place.

Regardless of what other people say, clean clothes are the best proof. There are several clothes racks hanging by the door, which is very lively.

"Okay, this sales method is very interesting." Yuan Shan said.

"Husband, the washboard is good, but the soap is really expensive." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Well, that's true. Ordinary families really don't need it. It doesn't matter that the price of soap will come down." Yuan Shan said.

A large part of the reason why soap is so expensive is because of the cost. Now the scale of the pig farm is so large, especially after the wealthy businessmen joined in, the scale of the pig farm has expanded by more than two or three times. too much.

The other part is technical value, this part Yuanshan will not give up profits, after all, it is currently a monopoly industry, and he will not deliberately lower the price.

"Teacher, what are you thinking, let's go!" Guo Xiang said.

"It's nothing." After shopping around, I didn't buy anything, but my mood obviously improved.

It’s just that I saw a lot of imitation products in the market, such as clothes made by many people, etc. The styles are very different from those sold in the mall, but the styles are still somewhat similar. This situation is inevitable. The mall meets the high-end Crowd consumption, then there is also the pursuit of ordinary people, and there is also a consumer market.

When he was about to leave, Guo Xiang suddenly said, "Teacher, Xiang'er also wants to do business."

"Does your father know about this?" Yuan Shan asked.

Guo Xiang shook his head.

"Have you made up your mind now, or let the teacher advise you?" Yuan Shan asked again.

"This...this, Xiang'er hasn't figured it out yet." Guo Xiang said.

"Don't worry about this. Doing business is not that simple. What you came into contact with when you were helping Yuanjia Mall can't be called doing business. The teacher hopes that you will think clearly before making a decision." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay Xiang'er knows." Guo Xiang said.

"Get in the car, and I'll take you back first." Yuan Shan said.

"Teacher is so kind." Guo Xiang got into the carriage immediately.

Along the way, Yuan Shan told you, Guo Xiang, some short stories about doing business. It was still very easy to deal with an ignorant girl who was in adolescence.

I didn't stop much at the Lantian County Government Office, and went back to Chang'an directly.

As soon as he arrived at the Hou Mansion, he saw that Yan Bei had already waited to pay later, and the motorcade he brought went directly back to Yuan's Manor.

"Master Hou, Yan is back." Yan Bei said.

"Thank you, how are things in Cangzhou now?" Yuan Shan asked.

"Everything is going well, but the demand for iron is very high. These are letters from the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce asking me to bring them to Lord Hou." Yan Bei said, holding a lot of letters in his hand.

Yuan Shan took it over and saw that there were everything in it, including records of various construction conditions, some accounts, and letters written to him by Zheng Yiyi, Wei Da and others.

After reading one by one, he said: "The project in Cangzhou is progressing very fast."

Yuanshan is relatively at ease about the project in Cangzhou, because everyone is staring at it, so much money is not Baihua's, because the Turkic incident alarmed the court, and soon after Yuanshan left Cangzhou, tens of thousands of soldiers were transferred In the past, he was responsible for the management of the Turks.

With an iron fist and corresponding system management, until now there have been no problems among the Turkic people, and the construction of the Turkic cottage has been very smooth.

The copycats and shopping malls built by the Yuan family are now the most important consumption places for Turkic people, and food and daily necessities are in great demand. One of the purposes of Yanbei's return this time is to purchase goods.

I briefly chatted with Yan Bei about some things, and let him go to rest. This time, when Yan Bei came back, he returned the car with seaweed, so he could make a small amount of money again. It’s just that the iron work needs to be done quickly. There are 28 mining sites Mining has just started now, and if you want to buy a large amount of iron, you need to report to the court.

He found that the current iron ore production has spread, but things have become relatively troublesome, but it is still a good thing in the long run.

The next day Yuan Shan had to hand over the memorial to Li Shimin, and began to send iron ore acquisitions to your mines around Chang'an through the mining company, and now you want as much as you have.

The merchants who had invested their capital in the first place were waiting for this time. The imperial court came to collect the iron ore before it arrived so soon. According to the plan, it will be reported after reaching a certain amount, and then Datang Mining Company will arrange the acquisition.

Then within a few days, I learned that the gunpowder for opening mountains from the Military Supervision was ordered in large quantities, and the merchants became not short of money. They who originally wanted to rely on manpower now started to blow up mountains like crazy. At the same time, many authorized The merchants also began to recruit people in large quantities, and the number of people more than doubled from 500 in a few days.

The number of tools wholesaled by the Military Weapons Supervision has increased sharply in the past few days. Although the sales are tools, they are all recorded. As for the imperial court's supervision of the mining industry, it is all a matter of Baiqi.

Because of the demand, the quantity of iron ore in Datang began to increase significantly. If it weren't for the fact that these iron ores were used in the Cangzhou shipyard, I am afraid that the imperial court would not be able to buy so much iron ore.

Chapter 521

The output of iron ore is increasing, but at the same time there are some problems in transportation.

So Datang's freight began to face challenges again. Now Datang still has a lot of horses, especially the number of horses in the imperial court's hands is astonishing. Then Yuan Shan asked Li Shimin for [-] horses to form an official freight team. All veterans are transferred from households, which also solves the problem of disabled soldiers on the one hand.

These horses cost money, but fortunately, the price is only one-third of the market price, mainly due to the forage fee provided by the imperial court for the horses, anyway, it is a trade-off between some interests.

Including the cost of making the carriage, the deposit for the mining authorization that the Ministry of Economic Development had just received was basically spent.

Originally, Li Shimin was counting on the Ministry of Economic Development to provide some funds for the "feudalism", but as a result, most of the mortgage money from the Ministry of Economic Development became treasury funds.

Yuan Shan from the Economic and Development Department was looking at things when he heard Yunfeng come in and say, "Yuan Pushe, Minister of the Ministry of Industry is waiting at the door."

"Oh, please come in." Yuan Shan said.

"Yan Shangshu, what's the matter?" Yuan Shan asked directly, when meeting in this kind of place, one knew that there was something to discuss.

Yan Lide didn't shy away from it, and said straight to the point: "Yuan Pushe, I came here today to talk about making the carriages. I wonder if the Ministry of Industry can do it."

"I'm afraid it won't work. The amount of work is too big. The Ministry of Industry alone may not be able to complete the project within the expected period." Yuan Shan said.

Yan Lide was a little embarrassed, and just as he was about to get up and leave, Yuan Shan continued: "Master Yan, the Ministry of Works can take over part of the carriage business, here are the blueprints, and the purchase price of each carriage is the same as the carpenter's union price, I wonder if Yan Shangshu agrees .”

Yan Lide looked at the drawing of the carriage handed over by Yuan Shan, and thought that if he sold them at this price, the Ministry of Industry would get a lot of money. In order to make money for the court.

As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he felt that it would be worthy of his position as an official at this time, and it would also relieve some financial pressure on the court, so he immediately agreed.

"Yan Shangshu, the bearings of the carriages are all purchased by the Ministry of Economics and Development, and will be sent to the Ministry of Industry at that time. I hope you and I can cooperate happily. In order to ensure the cooperation interests of both parties, we need to sign a project contract." Yuan Shan Said.

Soon someone copied three more copies of the project contract for the Carpenters Union for Yan Lide to sign. After both parties signed and signed, Yuan Shan immediately paid off one-third of the total purchase price for the carriage to the Ministry of Industry.

When Yan Lide left the economics and development department, he still couldn't believe it, and there were several carts behind him, all of which were loaded with money paid in advance.

After arriving at the Ministry of Industry, Yan Lide hadn't figured out where to put the money, but how could he become Minister of the Ministry of Industry? Soon the Ministry of Industry held a meeting. No one knew the details, but few It is big news that the laborers of the Ministry of Science and Technology will pay back the money.

Then the craftsmen were mobilized to start working, or the Ministry of Works, and the craftsmen started working soon after an order was issued. The quality of craftsmanship, scale, and production speed were unmatched by the Carpenters Union.

The carpenters' alliance is very famous in Chang'an. From a group of carpenters to a carpenter's workshop in the city, to work on the assembly line, coupled with continuous projects, the carriage business alone has made them a lot of money.

This time Yan Lide also gambled on the honor of the Ministry of Industry. If the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court is not as good as a carpenter's workshop, then what face does he have to continue to sit in this position as Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

With the joining of the Ministry of Industry, the pressure on the people of the Carpenters Union has been reduced. When undertaking this project, they still have many unfinished carriage products ordered by various rich merchants. Now another big job has been suppressed. Zhang Xingzhi was also under a lot of pressure.

Because of this, the scale of the carpenters' alliance expanded again, and Zhang Xingzhi went to various counties to find carpenters.
