Take the mall to Datang

Yuan Shan was still enjoying himself just now, and now he is annoyed by the snoring of a group of old men, and he is not in the mood to bask in the sun at all, so he got up and left, planning to find a gazebo to listen to the music.

There are singing and dancing performances in the venue.

When you leave the bath, you need to take a shower again, and then you can come out after changing your clothes. The song and dance performance is outside the bath. The content of this activity is to soothe the emotions of the guests.

While watching the performance, Yuan Shan still had to give some guidance, and then communicated with the relevant personnel in management. He did this because he felt the whole experience of the bathing place just now, and the other was to pass the time waiting for Dugu Ruo Lan and Du Qianyu came out.

Because men and women are separated, and the women's part is a large indoor experience hall. There are female guards at the door, which is very secretive. If you want to ask them about their situation, you can pass the information through the maid. But Yuan Shan didn't do that, he chose to wait, this is also to let them have a good time.

After waiting for more than an hour, Li Chengqian put on his clothes and ran out, saying, "Yuanshan, why did you come out so soon, I still have something to talk to you about."

Yuan Shanxin said that it was going to be an hour, but he could only think about it, and asked, "What do we want to talk about, let's go to the gazebo over there and talk about it first."

The outer gazebo is in the shape of a corridor, very long and irregular, and there are open spaces on both sides of the gazebo, which are used for performances, so sitting in the gazebo, you can see people performing in the middle, and the other side is It is some stone scenery.

"Yuanshan, I want to buy a water walking ball." Li Chengqian said.

"Is the prince interested in this kind of thing? It's just that these walking balls are not for sale. If the prince wants to play, he can come here." Yuan Shan said.

"Yuanshan, you can make an offer." Li Chengqian said directly.

Yuan Shan decided that when Li Chengqian bought this thing, he might put it in the first floor or do something else. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, but there is a condition. This thing can only be used and cannot be sold again. His Royal Highness can agree to it." .”

"No problem, I bought this thing to give to my father, and there is another one on the first floor." Li Chengqian said.

"Okay, no problem, then five hundred guan, how much does His Royal Highness want?" Yuan Shan said.

Five hundred guan is no longer a small amount. Li Chengqian has no minerals now, so he is not as extravagant as before, so he said: "Then let me have four."

"Okay, I will ask someone to deliver the things later." Yuan Shan said.

"Very good!" Li Chengqian said.

"By the way, the crown prince still needs to buy a batch of soap. Can we offer a discount on the price?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Well, how much does His Royal Highness want?" Yuan Shan asked;

"5000 yuan!" Li Chengqian said.

Yuan Shan heard how cheap it was for such a small amount, so he didn't open his mouth. This blending cost can make him a lot of money, but it's still far from reaching the price of the volume.

"His Royal Highness is embarrassing me. It is actually possible to pay the wholesale price for this quantity, but there are not many discounts." Yuan Shan said.

In business talk business, he won't sell it at a low price just because His Royal Highness is talking about business.

"How about a dollar for the usual money?" Li Chengqian said.

"His Royal Highness, the cost of soap is very high. I'm afraid the price..." Yuan Shan was still thinking about explaining, but he heard Li Chengqian explain: "This time it is custom-made for the palace, and you also know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the same washboard for sale. It won't pay too much money, this is also an effort to open up the washboard market, you also have a share in the washboard business, so you can't..."

"No!" Yuan Shan firmly refused.

Li Chengqian was helpless.

The final price talked about three pennies per soap, but the washboard project in the palace is estimated to lose money this time, but Yuan Shan didn't say much. He thinks that maybe His Royal Highness can really make money, you know Anything in the world can happen.

"Yuan Shan, the crown prince has no minerals now, and his life is very tight these days, you need to help me!" Li Chengqian said.

"His Royal Highness should focus on government affairs. I feel that it is a good choice for the prince to let the court start a business. Wouldn't it be better for the royal family and the court to get actual benefits, and in this way, money will be in short supply?" No way." Yuan Shan said.

"Yuanshan, what do you mean by this, why don't you tell me." Li Chengqian immediately became interested. Now he has the greatest status and influence among Huang Zizhong, but after losing Tie Kuan, this advantage seems to be not enough. Obviously, that's why Li Chengqian planned to use the washboard project in the palace even if he lost money, not for making money, but for gaining attention.

Don't think that the current Li Chengqian is a child, he is already 12 years old, plus his status as a prince and the things he has heard and seen, the environment in which he lives is very clear.

"Now in my Datang industry, the development of industry can reduce the power of quantity and drive production. If the prince works hard in this area, it should be a good direction." Yuan Shan said.

"Then how can the prince develop the industry?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Actually, there are many choices. Why don't we first consider the things that the people of the Tang Dynasty need. In short, they are the things that many people need, such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, or other things." Yuan Shan said.

"Haha, it turns out that this is the case, the prince knows what to do." Li Chengqian said.

"Did His Royal Highness think of it so quickly?" Yuan Shan was also a little confused, he didn't intend to give specific attention to the prince, he just gave a reminder.

"That's right, didn't you just say firewood, rice, oil and salt? Among these things, firewood is also very expensive, but you forgot that your Yuan family's stove doesn't use black coal. Black coal is cheaper than firewood when calculating the cost. The common people only need to make a small modification to the stove to use it, how is this prince paying attention." Li Chengqian said.

"The prince's idea is very good." Yuan Shan said, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. In this way, the value of coal would be increased, and it might be impossible for him to monopolize the coal project by then.

Although he had expected it a long time ago, he did not expect the prince to propose it in this way.

"Let's do it like this. This is something that benefits the common people. Don't worry, the prince will give you a very suitable price for the patent of the stove." Li Chengqian said.

"Well, that's the only way. In fact, I won't pursue it if you don't pay the patent fee." Yuan Shan said heartily.

Chapter 527

Not long after the prince left, Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu came out with a group of generals' wives.

"Husband, have you been waiting here for us?" Dugu Ruolan asked.

"I just came out not too long ago." Yuan Shan said.

"Hello, uncles and sisters-in-law." Since Yuan Shan has a good relationship, calling him this way seems close, and it also shows the politeness of a junior.

The wives of generals are not all ladies, like Cheng Zhijie's wife, and Yuchi Jingde's wife are more frank when talking.

After saying hello to Yuan Shan, he went to the gazebo to wait.

Afterwards, Yuan Shan took his family back directly to the Marquis of Chang'an.

In the study of the Hou Mansion, Yuan Shan sat quietly but was not idle, he was thinking about problems.

He is thinking about what Li Chengqian brought up today. It is not that simple to popularize stoves. At least Li Chengqian means to start with the wealthy people. Cheap.

There is no shortage of coal for people with kangs and water jacket stoves. In fact, many people use coal for cooking in winter, which has basically become a habit. After all, firewood in winter is not so dry. It's a big family.

"Husband, why are you still in the study, take a rest quickly." Dugu Ruolan walked in and said.

"I didn't expect Ruolan to call me in person. I'm really tired after playing all day today, so I'll go back to my room." Yuan Shan said.

"No, my husband has to go back with me today, or I'll have to stay up late again." Dugu Ruolan said.

Yuan Shan knew that it was Dugu Ruolan who cared about him, so he smiled and said, "Well, it's time to take a good rest today."

Before leaving the door of the study, Dugu Ruolan said coquettishly: "My husband is good or bad, this is the study, let's go back to the room to rest."

After speaking, he dragged Yuan Shan back to the room shyly.

Silent all night.
