Take the mall to Datang

"Then ten ships." Li Shimin said.

Yuan Shan's face was beaming, no matter where the ten ships were built, the money for the advisory group could still be earned, and each ship could earn 50 guan, whichever way you think about it.

"Yuan Shan's treasure ship is too expensive to build. You also know that the imperial court didn't have much money in the treasury for disaster relief last year. How about 30 guan for each ship?" Li Shimin said.

"Your Majesty's cost is enough, but if you want to complete the construction, you must suppress the people to work. If your Majesty thinks it is acceptable, I have no objection." Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin was very angry, but he couldn't send it out yet.

"Is there no discussion?" Li Shimin said in a cold tone.

"Your Majesty's imperial court has shares in Cangzhou and the right to enjoy the cost price, so I can only guarantee that 30 yuan can buy Daobao ships in Cangzhou." Yuan Shan said.

Li Shimin finally compromised. The price of building the treasure ship is there. If you want to be cheap, you can wait for the Baochuan built by Cangzhou Shipyard, but the time is hard to say. Ten treasure ships can even be used for ten years.

Can wood wait for people to wait that long?

Yuan Shan went to the imperial city and took on two tasks. One was to formulate shipping taxes, and the other was to allocate southern shipyards to start shipbuilding.

At the first moment, Yuanshan wrote a letter asking the Li family brothers to dispatch some shipwrights to carry the blueprints of the treasure ships to various docks in the south to report.

The money from the Ministry of Finance was approved, and Wubaili rushed to the shipyard to deliver the news.

The big winter has caused many people to rush about this matter.

The Ministry of Economics and Development is short of manpower, so it can only temporarily transfer some elite students from the talent school to the Ministry of Economics and Development. All students who are proficient in accounting are recruited for internships.

By December, some students had gotten used to the rhythm of the Ministry of Economics and Development, and they were so busy all day long that they felt that their hands were cramping when they played the abacus.

Especially those who added that the money line saw more money every day than they had seen in the previous half of their lives.

Looking at the seven years of Zhenguan, the vicissitudes of the Tang Dynasty are about to appear quietly.

After the Cangzhou Shipyard received the news from Yuanshan, the construction of the third treasure ship began in the dock. For this reason, hundreds of shipwrights and thousands of ordinary employees were hired.

In addition, several shipyards in the south such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Fuzhou have begun to prepare materials. Six treasure ships are expected to be launched at the same time. Supervised shipbuilding, so the construction of Lingnan Dock was promoted to the agenda.

At the end of the year, as long as there are large shipyards in coastal cities and other cities, job recruitment notices are posted, and the salary is not bad, so people who have nothing to do at home and winter have found a place to work where they can keep warm and earn money.

The second production line of the Cangzhou Shipyard has started. The shipyard has been preparing materials since the beginning of the construction of the first treasure ship. The second ship is nearing completion, and the materials for the third ship are basically ready-made. The second ship is faster.

Internships in talent schools, holidays, and medical centers have also started a rotation mode. The construction workers who have worked hard for a year return to Chang'an in early December, and they have exactly three months of vacation.

If you want to work during the break, you can also buy and sell kang for the rich, or you can go to a cement kiln factory as a temporary worker. The Ministry of Industry is also a kiln factory without maintenance throughout the year. There are jobs, temporary workers and long-term workers are acceptable, but the Tang people need to work with the Turkic people, and the treatment is slightly better.

In the Lantian Hou Mansion, Dugu Ruolan asked, "Husband, why are there women's events in this year's winter sports?"

"What's the matter, why can't there be women's events, women can't run?" Yuan Shan asked rhetorically.

"But it's indecent for a woman to show her face in public." Dugu Ruolan said.

"You mean those ladies who haven't left the cabinet yet, why don't you sign up voluntarily? Isn't there neighbors and neighbors? If no one participates, let them be called. If the rewards are richer, I don't believe they won't be tempted." Yuan Shan said. .

"The money is touching, but my husband is still tricky." Dugu Ruolan said.

"It's not a coincidence, it's what suits her. Besides, you can't let a woman stay out of the house for the rest of her life. Exercise is good for your physical and mental health. Look at Lan'er's physical growth since she was a child. Look at her perfect legs. I'm really envious." Others, if you go out wearing a cheongsam, you will definitely fascinate a group of flirtatious men, and seeing that all the ladies are weak, I don't want you to become like that." Yuan Shan said.

"Master Hou, Caiyi wants to participate." Caiyi said immediately.

"No." Yuan Shan said bluntly.

"Why, didn't Lord Hou encourage women to take part in sports just now?" Caiyi asked puzzled.

Yuan Shan looked at Caiyi's pride, if he could run, all the men in the stadium would salivate at it...

"Master Hou cannot do without your care, so you are not allowed to go." Yuan Shan said.

"You can also exercise in the open area of ​​the inner courtyard. It's been a long time since you said that, Benhou Lord, you guys dance. The temperature is not low today, why don't you go and exercise." Yuan Shan said.

Dugu Ruolan knows Yuan Shan's character, and looking at his complacent look, he must be calculating, and looking at Caiyi's upper body, how could they not understand, where they want to guide the movement, they clearly want to Feast your eyes.

"Husband, it's getting late, let's go to bed early." Dugu Ruolan said.

"It's just that it's too early for the moon to come out, what do you think Caiyi..."

As a result, Yuan Shan was directly carried back to the room by Dugu Ruolan and Du Qianyu, leaving Caiyi with a shy look on her face.

Chapter 661 Eight Years of Zhenguan

On the first day of the eighth year of Zhenguan, the same as the first day of the seventh year of Zhenguan, the second treasure ship was launched.

On the same day, the construction of the fourth treasure ship began. After the launch of the two treasure ships, the construction technology has become very mature, and the construction progress has gradually accelerated.

In the first floor of Chang'an, the president and several representatives of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce anxiously held a large banquet for the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to celebrate the completion of the second treasure ship.

Zheng Yifu and the others are very beautiful, microphones, and all the singers and dancers in Chunmanyuan have been hired by them at their own expense, and the ostentation is quite large.

"Yuan Pushe, please give me a name for this second treasure ship." Zheng Yifu said to Yuan Shan who was also on the stage.

"Let's call it the satisfaction number, everyone is happy and everyone is satisfied." Yuan Shan said.

Zheng Ruyi immediately said: "Thank you Yuan Pushe for giving you the name. Friends, if you want to transport goods, come to the Building Materials Guild. We promise to give you a [-]% discount on the shipping fee within half a year."

Then the merchants in the audience boisterously cheered. These discounts were real, and the merchants were very happy. Zheng Yifu also wanted to stimulate the merchants with this banquet. The Zheng Qi Yiyi can fill the warehouse.

When Zheng Yiyi came down from the stage, Yuan Shan said, "Chairman Yiyi, the Ministry of Economic Development has business for you. You must hurry up to transport the cement to the south."

"The Building Materials Chamber of Commerce has sent people to expand the cement kiln in Cangzhou, and cement kilns are being built in places such as Suzhou and Lingnan." Zheng satisfied.

"Suzhou, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and Lingnan all need cement to build ports, and this treasure ship came in handy," Yuan Shan said.

"Thanks to Yuan Pu's shot." Zheng said with satisfaction.

Zheng Yifu only wants the most foreign trade, but the cement business is their foundation. A ship can transport tens of thousands of stones of cement, as well as some other goods, and they all sail from the offshore without risk. In fact, it is still very cost-effective. Although it is not as profitable as overseas trade, it is still enough to make money every day.

"Tomorrow, I will come to the Ministry of Economic Development to collect the money ticket. The construction of the southern port this time requires a lot of cement, and you should hurry up to build the cement kiln." Yuan Shan instructed again.

Zheng Yiman was very happy to receive the cement order from the Ministry of Economic Development. At the banquet, someone wanted to tow the goods and negotiated several deals again.

Gong Shunan, Wei Da did not eat a bite at the banquet, they were all talking about business.

After the banquet, Gong Shunan and Wei Da were really exhausted. Zheng said with satisfaction: "We really made the right bet this time. With the cement orders from the Ministry of Economic Development, our net profit is as high as thousands. It's just a transport."

"More than that, the few businesses we negotiated at the banquet are all long-term cooperation, including the freight of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce. The profit of one trip will be much higher. If this trend continues, the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce may change to The Maritime Chamber of Commerce." Wei Da said.

The three of them laughed. They have already started to benefit from the decision to participate in the financing of the Cangzhou Shipyard and the purchase of the treasure ship. When the weather gets warmer, they will be able to earn tens of thousands of dollars and come back. They are all looking forward to this, and the first sea shipment Wei Da and Gong Shunan will be in charge.

The next day, Zheng Manchu arrived at Yuanlai Teahouse early.
