Take the mall to Datang

At the same time, there are not a few people who are doing these things. For example, Yuchi Baolin, Wei Dayou and others are particularly concerned about the military strategy in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Perhaps this is why the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is so popular.

After the storyteller in Yuanlai Teahouse had told the Romance of the Three Kingdoms twice, under Yuan Shan’s planning, he withdrew from the multi-person storytelling version, which is more vivid than the story told by single-person storytellers and multi-person storytellers, narration, characters For the dialogue, there are some props in the background with the accompaniment of the musicians, which makes the effect even better.

After the success of the first performance, the pop-up drama group has attracted many people from the reality show performers to perform professional performances, and it has become popular along with this craze.

These things became popular under the organization of the Ministry of Economic Development, but the serious business has never fallen. During this period, the second batch of ore from Datang Mining Company was transported to Cangzhou.

The settlement of a sum of money made the miners very happy, and they could see the benefits so quickly. For this reason, they also did their best. The more mining, the more money they recovered.

The motorcade of the Ministry of Economy and Development was busier now, and Li Shimin never gave an affirmative answer to the establishment of Passepartout Freight Company, and more importantly, he did not give a negative answer.

In the palace, Li Shimin specially summoned Yuan Shan to discuss this matter, so Yuan Shan brought Ma Zhou along.

Having made friends with His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Shan felt that seeing him once in a while was enough, so he wanted Ma Zhou to represent him.

Li Shimin also had a good impression of Ma Zhou when he saw him, and he admired Ma Zhou's ability more.

"Your Majesty, the Passepartout Freight Company is fundamentally backed by the imperial court, so that resources can be fully utilized, and the development of freight can also send letters and information in the first place, benefiting the country and the people and making money, killing three birds with one stone Yes, I hope His Majesty will grant you." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan has already decided that if he disagrees, he will give up. A person like him who devotes himself to everything is simply asking for no fun. Although he has his own selfishness in doing so many things, the credit lies in the community, and it is also for his Li family. Jiangshan considers.

He also tries to push through projects because he's a guy who starts and ends things, and it's not his style to stop doing things halfway.

"This matter involves a lot. It's not a small cost for me to allocate an army, so I need [-]%." Li Shimin said.

"You're ruthless!" Yuan Shan said heartily, but this is definitely not acceptable. The truck fleet has limited vehicles and if they share [-]%, what will he earn?

"Ma Zhou will tell His Majesty the data analysis of Passepartout's investment and revenue," Yuan Shan said.

He needs methods to meet Li Shimin's conditions, and Ma Zhou's statistical report is a very favorable explanation. As a superior, Li Shimin is also good at listening to these things.

Then Ma Zhou began to talk about the investment, the freight came out of the carriage, and besides the driver, he also mentioned the investment in roads. This is a huge investment, and then he started talking about the income. The final result of the allocation is that the Department of Economic Development cannot be busy in vain, otherwise it will not only lose money but also increase investment in it.

Such a thing is like robbing one's own money. Li Shimin is also a sensible person but that doesn't mean he is not greedy.

As an emperor, he hopes that everything can be under his control, and flexibility has become a step for him.

As a result, the negotiation was over, and Passepartout was allowed, and a 300-person convoy dedicated to freight transportation would be set up. Tang road construction funds were invested in the construction.

It is equivalent to sharing [-]% ​​of the profits, but in fact His Majesty only got [-]%.

Things became easier later on. The Ministry of Economics and Development deployed 100 taels of newly formed fleets to be responsible for the delivery of valuables between various state capitals. For example, wealthy businessmen moved or escorted money, all of which became customers of Passepartout. .

Because once something goes wrong, Passepartout will compensate according to the original price, and having a transportation guarantee is the basis for gaining people's trust.

Chapter 545 New Orders

The second half of the fifth year of Zhenguan.

Datang ushered in a bumper harvest, and the yield of corn crops continued to increase, which correspondingly affected the development of Chang'an's breeding industry.

What the common people reap is food, what the merchants reap is money, and what the court reaps is the stability of the country and the well-being of the people.

"Master Hou, there is too much grain in the centralized storage this year, and the shortage of horse-drawn carriages has already begun to turn around. It is not enough for the Yuan family's fleet to be fully used now." Zhou said thoughtfully.

The housekeeper Zhou has always been in charge of the Lantian centralized storage. In name, he is still the housekeeper of the Yuanjia Manor, but his job is to manage the property.

Yuan Shan understood very well after hearing Zhou Fang's suffering, but the production of the carriage does not mean that a large amount of investment can be made immediately.

"Steward Zhou, although the current situation is a bit difficult, the problem will always be resolved. If there are not enough carriages, let's use manpower for the time being. The interests of the customers must be guaranteed." Yuan Shan said.

Zhou thoughtfully said: "Yes, the old man will do it now."

"Old Zhou, you are the manager here now, no matter how you speak, you are still so polite." Yuan Shan joked.

"Master Hou, you can't have a circle without rules." After speaking thoughtfully, he went to do things.

What Zhou Fang said is correct, Yuan Shan came here today to inspect his own property, and adopted modern management from the beginning, so there are statistics on everything that needs to be checked on the books, and he doesn't have to worry about business matters at all.

After checking it, I found that the utilization rate of this warehouse is still not very high, and there is still a lot of space that has not been utilized, but the current capacity can only be so.

The convoy has always restricted the amount of goods transported, which has aroused Yuan Shan's attention. No matter how many horse-drawn carriages, it can't meet Datang's needs. Thinking that Yuan's family is still quite rich now, it is better to start building a train line to transfer steam Momentum plays out.

It is not so easy to build a railway. Not only does it require a large amount of steel, but it also requires investment in technology, manpower and material resources. However, can these things be difficult for him, obviously not.

He is now the supervisor of military weapons, and it is not difficult to improve iron smelting technology.

"Lantian County will build a railway from Chang'an, so it will be very convenient to go back and forth between the two places." Yuan Shan muttered.

Then I began to scribble something on the paper. It was written about the construction of the railway. The amount of the project was huge. Convenience and support must be provided, and this road cannot be built in vain.

Thinking that now is not the time, Li Dejian and Li Deju are in Cangzhou now, and it is unrealistic to ask them to come back to make locomotives.

After recording what he just thought of, he walked out of the office area of ​​the centralized warehouse. He also wanted to check the on-site work of the warehouse.

The corn stored here in the centralized warehouse is transported from Chengdu, and the reclaimed land will provide a relatively fixed benefit for the wealthy businessmen who invest every year. The profit chain of pig farmers is supplied from here.

There is relatively little planting land around Chang'an, so food is mainly supplied by other state capitals. This is a shortcoming of Chang'an's geographical location, but with corn, the development of this area will not be restricted by food.

Just last autumn, the fattening pigs from the pig farms went on the market, and the main consumer groups are not the common people, but the princes and nobles and wealthy businessmen. They have long been accustomed to pork, and now they cannot live without these meats.

They used to always eat mutton, but for them, mutton was not something that ordinary people could afford in terms of price or quantity.

Good ingredients determine eating habits, and the pork that just came out here is in short supply.

Although the three companies in the Ministry of Economic Development don't make much money, it's a long-term money-making project, and the pig farms that have been built are also fixed assets.

Today, the Ministry of Economic Development does not need to cooperate with these merchants. Even if they want to cooperate with the merchants, they will definitely be due to it, because if they breed by themselves, the benefits distributed to the Ministry of Economic Development will return to them. As for sales, the merchants We have no shortage of shops.

No matter how hard these merchants struggle, Chengdu's grain needs to be turned around in centralized storage, otherwise so many grain merchants have nowhere to put it.

"Master Hou, why are you here?" Zhou Tao said as soon as he saw Yuan Shan coming to the warehouse.

"It's okay, I'm just here to take a look, you guys keep busy." Yuan Shan said.

After inspecting the warehouse, I left.

As soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion, Caiyi said, "Master Hou, just now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry sent someone to say that the new carriage is ready to be delivered, so you should send someone over to receive it."

"Well, prepare a car and go to the Ministry of Industry." Yuan Shan said.

He went out again within 2 minutes of entering the house, but he didn't go out in a carriage, but a rich car. This is Zhang San's special car that he left in Hou Ye's mansion.

Now all the carriages of the Yuan family have been transferred to the centralized warehouse, where there are still more, so they can only rely on manpower to pull the carriages.

The coachman trotted all the way, and it didn't take long to get from Hou's Mansion to the Ministry of Industry. When Yuan Shan arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he saw that Yan Lide was already waiting here.

"Yuan Pushe, you are here. This is the last batch of [-] horse-drawn carriages. These are the documents that need to be signed." Yan Lide said.
