Take the mall to Datang

"That's right, this is what Yuan Pushe once said." Liang Ming said proudly.

Seeing these people came here early and wanted to work, he had actually done this before, because he was excited or wanted to show off, but when he met Yuan Shan, he was scolded, the reason was because He came too early.

After Yuan Shan told him about the disadvantages of arriving early, Liang Ming realized that he came early today to share with these newcomers. He always behaves like this.

After Yuanlai Teahouse opened, everyone followed Liang Ming up to the second floor. Since he was in charge of this group of people, he first started to talk about the basics of the Economic Development Department.

Although these Guozijian students usually have vacations, they seldom come to such a place. What surprised them was that the office of the Ministry of Economic Development was in a teahouse, and Zhang Zhirong's worldview was subverted.

"Zhirong, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and catch up." Zhu Baoshan said while pulling Zhang Zhirong who was a little dazed.

"Working in a teahouse, why is that?" Zhang Zhirong said curiously.

Zhu Baoshan did not answer. Liang Ming, who led the team to visit the office area, replied immediately after listening to the sermon: "Because this teahouse is big enough."

Everyone was speechless, because they all heard that this must be nonsense.

After leading these people to familiarize themselves with the office area, all of them without exception were assigned to work in the statistics department, and soon someone explained to them when they arrived at the work place. You need to turn the abacus against the accounts to settle the accounts.

Zhang Zhirong's mood is a bit complicated at this time.

During the interview yesterday, Yuan Shan made it very clear, but he still decided to stay. He didn't expect that it would be such a boring job, with the same thing going on every day, and there seemed to be nothing to do except settle accounts that's it.

On the third floor of the tea house, Yuan Shan came a little late, and Liang Ming came to report to work as soon as he entered the office.

"Yuan Pushe, the new group of people have arranged for them to settle accounts." Liang Ming said.

"Very good. Starting from the most basic, you can strengthen your professional skills and learn some basic information from the data." Yuan Shan agreed.

"This is also the process for the Ministry of Economic Development to appoint newcomers. Rules are rules." Liang Ming said.

"Well, you are right, let those newcomers have a good experience first, and now let's talk about the train project." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, the iron smelter in Madushi has already started to process the rails, and the capital investment is relatively large. We are calculating the accounts, and we may need a lot of money." Liang Ming said.

"Well, I will ask someone to go to the Shangshu Savings Bank to withdraw the money. It must ensure the operation needs of the iron smelter." Yuan Shan said.

It’s just that Yuanshan didn’t know that Shang Shusheng’s treasury didn’t have much money, and the investment of the Ministry of Economic Development was huge. Many projects added together were not just a train project, and it took time for the funds to flow back. It will cause some troubles for Yuan Shan.

Some problems were found when mobilizing funds, and Yuan Shan also dealt with them accordingly.

With the rails, the construction of the railway is half completed. As for the manufacture of the locomotive, Yuan Shan really doesn't worry at all. As long as he builds it according to the drawings he provided, even if the technology is poor now, it will run without any problem.

The Ministry of Economic Development has spent a lot of money on the train project. This time, all the proceeds from the southern tea gardens have been invested in this project at one time, which relieved some economic pressure.

Under such circumstances, Yuanshan put the plan of the zoo on hold indefinitely, and mobilized all the franchise fees of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce.

The sudden cut-off of funds caused the Ministry of Economic Development and Development to encounter a big trouble. At the beginning of the budget, the risk was assessed, but in actual operation, the consumption of the iron smelter was still overestimated, and the demand for iron ore directly pulled Raised the price of iron ore.

A wave of growth was driven by demand, which directly led to a funding gap, and iron smelters could not stop working to wait for long-term iron ore reserves, because tens of thousands of people were still waiting for these rails to start construction.

The result is still facing a collapse.

The sudden change made the Ministry of Economics and Development somewhat helpless, and at this time Yuan Shan was indeed rushing to the court meeting.

Gao Biaoren and others who visited Fusang came back, but the problem is that they did not announce the imperial order to the Lord of Fusang.

So Longyan was furious, and for this reason he demoted Gao Biaoren's official position.

Gao Biaoren, who is the official governor of Xinzhou, is very capable in handling affairs, but he attaches great importance to etiquette, but he did not give any explanation when he returned from his visit to Fusang, which made Li Shimin even more annoyed.

The most surprising thing was that Yuan Shan, who usually ignored these trifles of the court, actually spoke up for Gao Biaoren.

All the courtiers in the court hall were shocked, and many people did not understand Yuan Shan's actions.

"Your Majesty, I think that this kind of thing will not happen with the cultivation of the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty and the entrustment of the emperor. I am afraid there is something hidden in it. It is better to find out the situation first and then make a decision. This is also a way for the courtiers. Fair." Yuan Shan said.

In fact, Gao Biaoren cannot be blamed for not wanting to explain more. After all, he, the governor of Xinzhou, took the risk to go to Fusang to call, and he arrived in Fusang after several turnarounds. Tang's face returned to Datang in a fit of anger.

But when he first arrived in Datang, Long Yan was furious because he and the others failed to complete their goals, and Gao Biaoren was demoted and fined. It took more than two months of voyage to get there, and it was to save face for the emperor, but after returning, he was treated so unfairly.

Gao Biaoren was so angry that he didn't explain, this person's temper is really too sycophantic.

Chapter 596

In the court hall, Li Shimin's anger was instantly aroused by Yuan Shan's sudden interruption.

When the emperor is angry, the ministers basically don't say much, because this will often implicate more people, but Yuan Shan is definitely an outlier, and there is no tacit understanding in the officialdom at this time.

"Yuan Shan, why are you so concerned about this matter?" Li Shimin asked directly.

When everyone heard it, they were expecting something unexpected that Yuan Shan would say, which is usually the case, but today everyone guessed wrong.

"This matter involves the relationship between Datang and Fusang. As a right servant, She naturally has to care about it. Besides, the Fusang Mission once wanted to make friends with and bribe the official, but was later rejected by the minister. It is difficult to rely on this point. Guaranteed what happened to the officials we dispatched in Fusang, so it is better to investigate clearly before dealing with Gao Biaoren and others." Yuan Shan said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I think Yuan Pushe's words are justified. Gao Biaoren, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, would never abandon the emperor's order and openly defy it. There must be a reason for it." Du Ruhui said immediately.

Changsun Wuji wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, he just kept observing Li Shimin's attitude.

The court has been discussing Gao Biaoren's matter, and now he is famous.

After the court meeting, Li Shimin's order was to send someone to investigate.

After all the important officials had left, Li Shimin said to his eldest grandson Wuji, "What happened to Yuan Shan today, I don't usually see him behave like this."

"As far as I know, Yuan Pushe doesn't seem to want to see this Fusang country, and the reason is really hard to figure out." Changsun Wuji said.

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded.

"Okay, don't mention it again, let's talk about it after the matter is found out." Li Shimin said.

Just when Yuan Shan wanted to worry about Gao Biaoren's affairs, Yuan Shan immediately knew about the unexpected situation in the Ministry of Economic Development.

"Yuan Pushe, why aren't you worried at all?" Liang Ming asked.

"What's there to worry about? Isn't it money? How much money is left in the Ministry of Economics and Development?" Yuan Shan asked.

"No, it's time to start paying the workers in three days. Now all the money has been used to buy iron ore, and there are still a few hundred pennies left in the book." Liang Ming said.

What is the Ministry of Economic Development's commercial investment of several hundred guan, and what can be done.

After Liang Ming's explanation, Yuan Shan realized that the problem of money was due to the price of iron and the demand of iron smelters. Datang's iron ore output was not high. Although there are now several privately authorized mines, However, the current demand is still in short supply, especially the Cangzhou shipyard also has a large demand, and the imperial court still occupies a large share, so the truck project that was suddenly launched will naturally receive less iron.

The train project also needs iron ore, but the output is limited, which is the cause of the problem.

As soon as the problem came out, Yuanshan found that it seemed that the development of the locomotive project was a bit rash. After all, the Ministry of Economic Development still had a lot of business to do, and if the strides were too big, it would be easy to drag the crotch.

At the same time, Yuan Shan also felt a sense of powerlessness. This feeling was not due to his own lack of financial resources. In fact, it was like ants shaking a big tree. The ant was the Ministry of Economics and Development, and the big tree was Datang. It was fantastic.
