Take the mall to Datang

The blacksmiths under the Armament Superintendent have already started to make this with all their strength, and even the Ministry of Works has received orders, and the Ministry of Works is responsible for completing the wooden carts.

Yan Lide agreed immediately. The staff of the Ministry of Industry led by him have recently made some management adjustments. The work efficiency of the craftsmen in the entire Ministry of Industry has been improved to a certain extent. It is to make them more productive in wood processing.

As soon as he heard that it was an order from the Ministry of Economic Development, Yan Lide asked the craftsmen to start working with all their strength.

In addition to small carts, there are also a large number of customized carriages. This project did not allow the Carpenters Union to participate in the competition, because the price given by the Ministry of Economic Development is lower than the market cost, which can be said to be equivalent to exempting the court tax. .

Just when the construction team was learning and practicing in Xinfeng County, a large number of construction team recruitments also started.

The labor agency in Lantian County and the various advertisements posted in Chang'an City made the people in the counties around Zhang'an happy, and tens of thousands of people signed up within a few days.

Almost all of them are from the vicinity of Chang'an. Some people came from far away for this job, and finally gathered these people in Xinfeng County. Zhang Baojun didn't even make it to their county council to rush in so many people at once. personnel.

The B&B is not smart enough to place these people in one place alone, and replace them with thatched houses and tents. This move immediately led the Cotton Chamber of Commerce to receive the order. All these people need are engineering tents. Except for Yuanjia, only cotton Chambers of Commerce are able to produce such devices.

The fabric of engineering tents is still multi-layer cotton cloth, but in terms of craftsmanship, these cotton cloths are soaked in oil and can be used to prevent rain. The supporting bamboo poles are also treated to be durable and relatively moisture-proof and anti-corrosion.

In addition to the kiln factories of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce and the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, Chang'an received a large number of cement orders, as well as bricks.

In terms of food, a team of cooks has been formed, consisting of hundreds of people. The pork comes from pig farms and vegetable greenhouses in Xinfeng County. When providing places for these people, they are also earning their wealth. Of course, the money is all It was their employer, the Ministry of Economic Development.

Tens of thousands of people participate in road construction, and the daily cost is a lot of money.

But the Ministry of Economic Development doesn't care. The treatment given to these people is to control food and housing, and the salary is relatively less, but even so, it costs thousands of dollars a month.

The advantage of spending money like running water is that these workers are very hardworking. With the cooperation of these people, the construction team mainly trained to repair the roads in Xinfeng County is technically passable.

While building, the level of the engineering team was adjusted. The Ministry of Economic Development spent money, which led to a part of the economic improvement, trained the engineering team and supported many people.

Chapter 558

The actions of the Ministry of Economic Development and the court officials were all paying attention. After all, there was a lot of noise, and some people even suggested that the professional road repair construction team should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

But when they wanted to consider who would pay for the construction team, Yan Lide immediately stood up and said that he could solve this problem, and his Ministry of Industry was very willing to take over the construction team.

However, some people raised objections, saying that these things done by the Ministry of Economic Development were too laborious and costly, but after thinking about it, they were not spending money from the national treasury, and then these people fell into embarrassment again.

After several court discussions, Li Shimin actually had no choice. The village of the Ministry of Economic Development is to promote the commercial development of Datang and engage in economics. With this construction team, there will be a lot of labor left in road construction after Datang money.

At that time, Li Shimin agreed, and he also agreed with the road construction. Now it seems that the development of Xinfeng County is really fast. In just over a year, several cement roads in the county town have led to Chang'an City.

The infrastructure construction in Xinfeng County is also very complete, such as brick and stone structure huts, and the planning of road sections. Even the people in Xinfeng County no longer live in simple thatched huts, and the worst is thatched huts , and the wealthy people all live in brick houses with single doors and courtyards.

This year, the tax revenue reported in the Xinfeng County newspaper has been greatly improved. These changes can be seen by others. The county magistrates around Chang'an City all want Yuanshan, the God of Wealth, to guide them to become rich.

It's just that so far only Lantianxin and Xinfeng counties have achieved some development. Besides, the tax revenue of Lantian County is comparable to that of several surrounding counties. This makes people have to think about the relationship.

Li Shimin is not a fatuous emperor. The Li family still relies on the state treasury to support them, and the taxes provided by these two counties make them very satisfied. He even wants to increase the taxes of all the counties around Chang'an by a large margin. In this way, the treasury has more money, and his country will be more stable.

"His Royal Highness, this is the store information calculated today, please have a look." Duan Zhiwei said.

Li Chengqian looked at the materials sent by the person in front of him. He really didn't have the heart to read them, and immediately said: "You can handle these things properly, and sort out some later and send them to the statistics database."

Putting statistical data into the database is the statistical work process of the Ministry of Economic Development. Li Chengqian already knew these things when he finished the statistical work. Although he fished for three days and posted on the net for two days, he is still relatively rigorous about work.

"His Royal Highness, this subordinate feels that Yuan Pushe's intentional arrangement of our manpower being dispatched will reduce the efficiency of the statistics department. Do you want to send more people to help?" Duan Zhiwei said respectfully.

Judging from Duan Zhiwei's appearance, he is very respectful to His Royal Highness, and his behavior is very rigid. You can't see such a character in the Ministry of Economics and Development. No matter how you say it, it is too bureaucratic. Such people are often executives Stronger people.

Perhaps he is also an extremely cautious person. Hearing what Duan Zhiwei said, Li Chengqian frowned and said, "Don't think too much, the situation of the Economic and Development Department is right in front of you. There are hundreds of people in the management of such a big stall, and it is often difficult to share it. There are no more than 20 people working here, even if the borrower is intentional, so what, the father just sent you to work here, so don't make any trouble."

"It's His Royal Highness, we will work hard." Duan Zhiwei said.

Duan Zhiwei agreed, verbally agreed, but his real master was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince's father. The purpose of working in the Ministry of Economy and Development was not to win the control here, but mainly for the purpose of surveillance.

It is actually very easy to change the head of the Ministry of Economics and Development, but without Yuan Shan's Ministry of Economics and Development, there is no development at all, so for the emperor, all he wants is control.

But it was self-defeating that the 30 people sent by Li Shimin were really good at collecting intelligence, and they also worked in the statistics department of the Ministry of Economic Development. There is work pressure from stewards.

It's just that they are going crazy to do such tiring and tedious things every day, and they have to face this His Royal Highness who is a little out of character. Their pressure is even greater than that of the staff in the Economic Development Department.

"Go on with your work, I'm going to talk to Yuan Shan." Li Chengqian said.

After finishing speaking, he left the statistics department. As soon as he left, Duan Zhiwei and others started to go crazy again, and they had to continue collecting information about the store.

"Yuan Shan, how is the construction team doing?" Li Chengqian asked as soon as he entered the office.

"His Royal Highness, the construction team is currently in the training phase, and the progress is not bad at present." Yuan Shan replied.

"Why does the Ministry of Economic Development still organize this construction team? Aren't you afraid of competing with the construction teams of your Yuan Family and the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce in the future?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Is His Royal Highness concerned about this matter? What's wrong with competition, so that investors can hire these construction teams at a more suitable price when there is a project bidding?" Yuan said. kindness.

"It's true when you say that." Li Chengqian muttered.

Seeing that Li Chengqian was interested in this, Yuan Shan said: "It's not just that, too few construction teams will stagnate the city's development. Take Xinfeng County as an example. It will take a few months to start repairing, and it will take several months to repair the road. In this way, it may take a year to build a road, but it is different with a redundant construction team. As long as there is a need, they will always be there It saves waiting time."

"Then how do you ensure that the construction team will always have projects to start? The monthly expenditure of a construction team with so many people is a large sum of money." Li Chengqian said.

"If you want to get rich, build the road first, and the speed between the two places will be shortened if the road is smooth. These benefits are enough to pay more. The main body of the project is still led by the imperial court. I don't think His Majesty will take this lightly. Yes." Yuan Shan said.

"It's not an easy task to ask the national treasury to pay for road construction." Li Chengqian said.

"Perhaps, but there may be other ways besides this, such as the development model of Xinfeng County, which will improve the construction of public facilities after making profits from the industry." Yuan Shan said.

Li Chengqian thinks this is a good idea. The development of Xinfeng County is obvious to all. Li Shimin even mentioned the matter of Xinfeng County many times, but the ministers did not advocate it, so there is no follow-up article, but he did not say that the county magistrate cannot follow Xinfeng County's model to develop.

From Li Chengqian's point of view, these things Yuanshan created are very novel, and he still doesn't understand many things, but there is one thing he understands, that is, he can do many things with a lot of money.

Chapter 559 Business Cooperation

The project invested by the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is under construction in full swing. Lu Ziang personally brought a batch of iron ore from Luoyang to Chang'an.

Accompanying them were several shareholders of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce.

The news that the Ministry of Economy and Development will form a construction team has already spread to Luoyang. Lu Ziang is very interested in the construction team, and he came here this time to discuss this matter.

Although Luoyang is an ancient capital, it is no better than Chang'an and there is still a lot of room for development.

As soon as I arrived at Yuanlai Teahouse, I was attracted by a burst of singing.

"President Lu, look at the music that the girl on that stage is playing, and the sound is very distinctive." Yan Shun, the shareholder at the side, said.

"Shopkeeper Yan, you really can't keep your attention away from your business. Do you think such a diva can be invited to your brothel?" Lu Ziang said shaking his head.

"That's not necessarily the case. Although Yan's financial resources are not as good as the others, but this brothel business can be said to be the number one in Luoyang. How difficult is it to recruit this girl." Yan Shun said.

At this time, the person who came to the teahouse to listen to the music said disdainfully: "You are really bragging. It seems that you are from other places. Even Miss Miaolian doesn't know it. It is said that she is a woman related to Lan Tianhou. Don't even think about it." .”
