Take the mall to Datang

Start with the directly related ones, and then batch by batch, all the restaurants in Chang'an City were replaced with new-style barbecue coal stoves in a short time, and the price of coal became cheaper instead.

Yuan Shan naturally knew what was going on in the Hou Mansion and Chang'an City, but instead of increasing the demand for coal, it had decreased by several percent. Originally, this was the off-season for coal sales, and it would only get better after autumn, but Yuan Shan noticed that This doesn't seem to be normal.

So he sent someone to investigate and found that many restaurants had fixed supply channels for coal supply, but that was not his Yuan family's business.

Yuanshan first sent people to investigate this kind of commercial competition, but did not get any useful information, and then gave up. After all, the current interests are not in direct conflict, because the main business of the new coal suppliers is Made with the palace.

After finding this, Yuan Shan told people to give up. The price reduction of coal is not big, but judging from the current situation, the supply of coal after last autumn will not decrease even if it does not increase. After all, the demand for coal has indeed increased. of.

Half a month later, this matter was left behind by Yuan Shan, because the common people's bathing place ushered in the peak summer season, and the number of people received every day began to double. The good news is that the number of women coming has also increased a lot. There are also more stalls selling related products on the periphery of the bathing place.

Cotton Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Qi sat in the conference room with several swimsuits on the table in front of him.

"Who can tell me how clothes made of this fabric are made? Has it not been developed yet?" Zheng Qi shouted to the group.

"President Zheng, we have studied these fabrics with the women workers in the textile factory for a long time, but we really don't know how to make them." A person in charge said.

"Are you saying that you are useless? Since these are all from the Yuan family, they must be made. If you can't research them, it means that you haven't worked hard enough." Zheng Qi said.

"President Zheng, you can see that there is no way to verify the materials used in these life buoys. These things don't seem to be from my Tang Dynasty. Could it be from Fanbang?" Shareholder Shi Yi said.

"Well, it's not impossible, but as far as I know, the Yuan family doesn't seem to have any connection with Fanbang." Zheng Qi said.

Shi Yi said at this time: "President Zheng may not know that not long ago, people from the Fusang Mission collected information about Yuan Shan. This is what my subordinates mentioned by chance, but the Fusang Congress has nothing to do with these things. Woolen cloth."

"I can't be sure about this, send someone to check it out." Zheng Qi said.

The Cotton Chamber of Commerce itself is doing business in this area. If it is really impossible to prevent it, then he may have a showdown with Yuan Shan. It may cost him a lot of money. Zheng Qi is a businessman, so he does not want too much More importantly, his Zheng family doesn't have that much money now.

Recently, due to the production of bicycles, a lot of money has been invested in the purchase of refined iron, so the financial pressure of the Zheng family is still relatively high.

Yuan Shan didn't know that these things he launched would attract a lot of attention, especially the sales of swimsuits really made Yuan Shan a lot of money, and now he doesn't know what to do with so much money.

And these days, businessmen from Luoyang have visited him many times. Many people mean that they want to open a mall in Luoyang, but they don't need the Yuan family to invest, they just need to supply the Yuan family's products from time to time.

Yuanshan is still very optimistic about Luoyang's market. The prosperity there is not much worse than that of Chang'an, and it is even more advantageous because of its geographical location.

However, judging from the current industrial production capacity of the Yuan family, it may be difficult to cope with it. It would be very troublesome if there is a shortage of stocks. This is not what Yuan Shan wants to see, so he is also considering whether to expand the industry.

But it seemed tiring to think of doing it on his own, so he was hesitating.

Chapter 529 Table Saw

Ministry of Economics and Development.

"Yuan Pushe, Ma Zhou is back." Yu Jingming walked in and said.

"Where is he now?" Yuan Shan asked.

"I'm doing handover and I'll be here in a while," Yu Jingming said.

Not long after Yu Jingming finished speaking, Ma Zhou came.

"Yuan Pushe, I'm back." Ma Zhou said after entering.

"It's good to come back. This trip to the south was hard." Yuan Shan asked.

"Being able to do more for the common people, no matter how hard it is, is worth it." Ma Zhou said.

Yuan Shan shook his head, knowing that this guy was a workaholic, and this kind of madness was so deep in his bones that he couldn't stop it when he was in the Cotton Chamber of Commerce.

Now working in a place like the Ministry of Economic Development, let alone, it is abnormal not to work overtime.

"Yuan Pushe, this time I stayed in the south for a long time. The tea gardens in the south are producing very well. When I came back, I brought back thirty carts of tea. These teas were five times the total sales of tea last year. And Most of the tea has already been sold in the south, and when the autumn tea comes out, the money invested by the Economic and Development Department will not only be able to return all the money, but even make a lot of money." Ma Zhou said.

"Thank you!" Yuan Shan said again.

Tea is the pillar industry of the Ministry of Economic Development. The new tea-frying technology has replaced Datang’s brewing tea, and the demand is still relatively high, and this tea industry has also begun to sell in the south, and money will be sent back to Chang’an City on a regular basis. , these are all their credit.

"Ma Zhou, as the saying goes, you should pay attention to your health after work. By the way, it's been a long time since you went to Lantian Medical Center for a physical examination. How about all the staff of the Economic and Development Department go for a physical examination in three days? This is also a must for work. Done." Yuan Shan said.

"Yu Jingming, you send someone to the Lantian Medical Center to discuss this matter now, and all the expenses will be reimbursed by the Ministry of Economics and Development," Yuan Shan said.

"Yes, I'll do it now." Yu Jingming said.

"Ma Zhou, I just got back from a business trip today and go home to have a rest. We'll talk about work tomorrow." Yuan Shan said.

Ma Zhou did not refuse this time. It was not a short trip back to Chang'an from the south, he was also very tired, and this was carried out in accordance with the business trip management system.

After Ma Zhou left, Yu Jingming came in and said, "I have already sent someone to contact the medical center. Has Ma Zhou gone back?"

"Yeah, by the way, I heard that Ma Zhou doesn't seem to have married a wife yet. This is not acceptable. As your leader, you must consider the lives of your employees. Yu Jingming, it seems that you haven't married a wife, are you like you? There are so many people in our economic and development department in this situation." Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming's face felt unnatural for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Yuan Pushe, most of them are unmarried. After all, the main personnel of our Economic Development Department are all from the Imperial College, and they are all young people."

"So that's how it is. Then after three days, I will go to Lantian for a physical examination for employee benefits, and then see if I can arrange a few social gatherings. It's time to fill out a survey and then make arrangements." Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming didn't know what Yuan Shan was going to do, but when he thought about it, he always had a strong feeling that something strange was bound to happen.

"Go and do your work, I'll go out for a while." Yuan Shan said.

As soon as we left, we saw Yan Lide coming, so Yuan Shan came to the office again.

"Yan Shangshu, don't mind the mess here." Yuan Shan said.

"Of course not, I know that your economic and development department is the busiest yamen gate." Yan Lide said.

Yuan Shan smiled awkwardly. In fact, it was messy because the office of the Ministry of Economics and Development was too small, and so many documents were piled up like a hill.

"Yan Shangshu is too famous, I don't know why he came here today." Yuan Shan said.

"I heard that Yuanjia Workshop is good at making steam equipment. I wonder if any of these equipment can be used in woodworking." Yan Lide asked.

"Yan Shangshu would be interested in steam engines. I really didn't expect it. It's just that the Yuanjia Workshop doesn't have neat equipment for carpentry." Yuan Shan said.

Yan Lide felt a little disappointed. After a recent investigation, he found that most of Yuanjia's industries were supported by neat equipment. For example, the production of bearings was absolutely impossible to rely on manpower. So he thought that if he could use steam equipment Wouldn't it increase the output if used in woodworking production? After he had this idea, he came here, but the result seemed to be unsatisfactory.

"There is no woodworking equipment for steam equipment. At present, they all rely on manual woodworking lathes with variable gears. If Yan Shangshu wants a steam-powered lathe, he can also customize it, but the cost and time may take a long time." Yuan Shan continued.

As soon as these words came out, Yan Lide immediately became energetic and said, "I don't know what the woodworking lathe is used for."

Yuan Shan began to answer Yan Lide. What is the manpower of a woodworking lathe? Naturally, it is a low-speed lathe that is used together with a bicycle and a transmission gear. It can make some simple handicrafts and the like, but they are all rolling ornaments, like wooden Stair rails and the like.

"At present, the steam-powered equipment that Yuanjia Workshop can produce is the steam saw. It is not cheap to process this. The key is that the accuracy may not be enough in mass production. Do you think this equipment will work?" Yuan Shan said.

Then Yuanshan drew the table with stick figures, and explained the function of this table saw to Yan Lide. The saw blades from large to small can cut wood quickly. The chip may be replaced, and because it is customized, the price may be much higher.

Yuan Shan told Yan Lide all these situations.
