Take the mall to Datang

"Caiyi, everyone knows your feelings for Lord Hou. You and Xinyue were too messed up yesterday. If it is spread, it must be an excuse to seduce Lord Hou. It will damage the reputation of Lord Hou." Dugu Ruolan said.

Seeing that Dugu Rulan's words were a bit indifferent, Du Qianyu interjected, "Sister."

At the same time, she also stole a pleading look. Dugu Ruolan saw it, but her expression didn't change at all, and she continued: "I think you are loyal to Lord Hou, and you are the powerful arm of Lord Hou. This matter is not a problem. I got into trouble with you, so from today on, you can move to the master bedroom and listen."

Caiyi didn't expect to be able to move from the left courtyard into the side hall of the master bedroom. Doesn't this mean that she has become a housekeeper? Since then, her status in the Hou Mansion has risen a bit. The thought of being able to serve Caiyi with her blushes. up.

You must know that Lord Hou has two wives in the mansion but has never met other women. She has decided to seize the opportunity.

Caiyi was very happy that she didn't expect to be blessed by a misfortune because of a recklessness, so that she could get closer to her favorite Lord Hou.

But when it was Xinyue's turn, Dugu Ruolan became strict.

"Privately bring someone into the master bedroom, Xinyue, you are responsible for what happened yesterday." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Ma'am, Xinyue knows she's wrong, as long as she doesn't chase Xinyue away, she can do whatever she wants." Xinyue cried.

Du Qianyu didn't say anything, although Xinyue was her maid, but she couldn't imagine if she brought someone in casually to see such a scene last night, and she also felt that Xinyue, a little girl, spoiled her too much. , plus she is still young, I can't bear to talk about her.

She could only follow Dugu Ruolan's arrangement. Du Qianyu had seen this kind of thing a lot, but it didn't mean she liked to take care of it.

Especially since she once served the princess and knew the consequences of the girl's reckless actions.

"If Xinyue is still young, you won't be punished for this incident. Let's move back to the second lady's room from today on." Dugu Ruolan said.

Xinyue's suffering was even worse. Although she was young, she also knew that moving out of the master's bedroom would be a punishment for her.

"You little girl knows how to cry, get up quickly, it's so cold to kneel on the ground." Du Qianyu said.

What happened in the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion was not reported to the outside world. Caiyi became the beneficiary after this change. Some maids in the Hou Mansion were envious after seeing Caiyi. Xinyue served in the master bedroom, perhaps because of her age. Xiao was not favored by Lord Hou, but Caiyi was different. Usually, when Lord Hou was in the study, the two of them would always get tired of being together. Of course, Caiyi usually took the initiative, so it didn't hurt.

Now that the identity of Tongfang girl has been confirmed, Caiyi's status in the Hou's mansion is also much higher.

It's a pity that in the evil feudal society, even if she becomes a concubine, her status is still not high, especially in the Hou Mansion, Yuan Shan doesn't pay much attention to these things.

In Yuanlai Teahouse, the return of Yuanshan made all the people in the Ministry of Economics and Development nervous, because the work has increased again, and the news that the mining authorization bidding meeting will be held in the banquet hall on the first floor of Chang'an in half a month has begun to spread.

The wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City are all gearing up. This time, there is no restriction on driving the local economy. As long as they have money and can meet the standards, all businessmen who can mine safely can join.

There was nothing to talk about this day, Li Shimin didn't want the family to grow stronger, and let the clan come to wrestle with him, the emperor, so it was strictly prohibited in the procedure.

The Ministry of Economic Development is very experienced in convening the authorization of mining rights. In the afternoon, Yuan Shan went directly to the talent training school, and found the director of the school Liang Mingdao: "Now the Ministry of Economic Development needs personnel, and we will assign those with relatively better grades as appropriate. All people will be requisitioned, and the talent school will start recruiting students, and this time the scale will be expanded.”

Liang Ming knew that talent schools were the focus of the Ministry of Economic Development, and he was not ambiguous about using the title of the imperial examination to train usable people.

However, he still reminded: "Yuan Pushe, what should I do about the imperial examinations?"

"I will pay attention to this matter." Yuan Shan said.

Anyway, the imperial examination is like that. Now it is a yearly exam to select talents with good character and learning. This time, with Lanzhou's economic cooperation, Yuan Shan has already made a plan.

The imperial examination is still based on the Four Books and Five Classics, but what he can operate is indeed in the questioning.

If you want to choose capable people as officials, it doesn't mean that people who have read the Four Books and Five Classics must be sour Confucians. There are still many talents. No matter, in fact, the purpose is the same, they are all to find available people.

After wandering around the talent school, he went to Lantian Medical Center, and then went to Lantian County, which was under construction. Yuanshan was surprised by the rapid construction of houses in the county.

"What's wrong with County Magistrate Guo? Could it be that the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce has increased the number of engineering teams? In the past two months, a large part of the plan has been basically completed." Yuan Shan said.

Guo Shouyi immediately explained: "It's not because Lanzhou needs an engineering team. People in the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce don't want to miss a good opportunity to make money. In order to catch up with the progress, the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce has made a great contribution. It is said that the wooden and cement structures are in order to speed up. At the same cost at the same speed, the engineering team replaced more than half of the materials with bricks and stones, which is simply the best chamber of commerce in Lantian County."

Looking at Guo Shouyi's smiling face, Yuan Shan didn't expect that the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce would be able to minimize profits. It really is the best chamber of commerce in Lantian County.

Since this was the case, Yuanshan didn't want to say anything more. Anyway, with the financial resources of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, there was nothing to worry about. It felt that it would take less than half a year for a brand new urban area of ​​Lantian County to appear before people's eyes.

A large number of courtyards have been built in the suburbs of Lantian, and some manors are planned to be built in the suburbs with better terrain. These are all ready to be sold to the outside world. According to the development level of Lantian County, the number of rooms here will be much higher.

After wandering around for a whole day, Yuan Shan returned to Lantian Hou's Mansion at night. Looking at Xinyue's aggrieved eyes during the meal, he knew that he must have been talked about during the day. Yuan Shan didn't care about such things. There is a woman problem in the room, how can he manage it with a big family.

Back in the master bedroom, Yuan Shan and Du Qianyu have been sleeping together since the bridal chamber, but when he saw that Cai Yi also joined, he became restless.

Chapter 708 Expanding the Number of Mines

Sure enough, a man's perseverance is not determined by how strong he is, but by the strength of temptation.

So Yuanshan fell that night, but Caiyi tasted what it was like to be a common house girl, which greatly satisfied her long-cherished wish.

A night of singing and dancing made Yuan Shan think of all the blessings of Qi people, but he also suffered a serious injury to his old waist.

After waking up in the morning, Caiyi got up early and didn't even have hot water, her face was flushed but she looked very attractive.

"Yesterday was so crazy and woke up so early, my husband must take care of his body." Dugu Ruolan said without opening her eyes.

"It's not that your methods are so clever. It's really unreasonable to ask Caiyi to help. You continue to rest and I still have work to do." Yuan Shan said after washing up, he went out to exercise alone.

Morning exercise is what the maids in the house do every day. He is moving his hands and feet, and the colorful clothes on the side are just talking to someone, holding a towel and a ceramic pot filled with boiled water.

"Caiyi, you can't move around, go and rest next to me." Yuan Shan said directly.

Caiyi didn't force herself either, she sat beside Yuanshan and exercised with Yuanshan, everything was as usual.

Yuan Shan, who was exercising, was a little absent-minded, and everyone said that Wenrou Township is a hero's grave. He usually restrains his private life very much, but thinking about the visual and real temptation, he couldn't hold it anymore, and slipped away again.

Thinking about the big family and the big business, there is an additional sense of crisis. In Datang's peace and wealth, he can only make money and live a low-key life. He thinks this kind of life is boring. What he wants is a safe Datang. His life was terminated for saying a word casually, and he hoped that someone could share his joy with him.

I also want people to help him, so that he can enjoy the current world with him in Datang.

But this is a feudal society, and he also met a narrow-minded and discerning emperor, plus a future female boss. Thinking about it, he felt very boring, but he had to take some precautions.

If he wanted to settle down, he needed to control the overall situation. He found that the current development of the Tang Dynasty was not fast enough. As long as someone wanted to gain power, the corruption from the clan would be very fast.

He didn't allow this. While exercising and thinking about things, he suddenly found that his body was very tired, and he felt better after he stopped exercising.

These details seemed nothing to others, he picked up the towel and went to take a shower while panting.

After half an hour, he came out of the Hou Mansion.

In Yuanlai Tea House, people from the Ministry of Economic Development were discussing about the opening of authorized mines. Yuan Shan came over to see that the originally planned two large mines and more than a dozen small mines were being selected by everyone.

"The Ministry of Economic Development may be a bit negligent in supervision due to lack of manpower, but even so, for the development of Datang and the demand for iron from all walks of life, this official decided to triple the number of authorized mining sites." Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming immediately said: "There are too many mines, and the Ministry of Economic Development is simply not used to it."

Everyone else wanted to go, and even Ma Zhou, who was in the ironworks, felt that there were too many mines at this time.

"We can arrange the regulatory affairs. Mining is a long-term job. Let's think about a solution. The economic and development departments of the state capitals have not been established. Why don't you write some memorials and ask His Majesty to send some people at this time. Alright." Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming and Ma Zhou were surprised by this. They knew that the Ministry of Economics and Development was responsible for its own profits and losses. To be honest, the Ministry of Economics and Development was described as a department of the imperial court, not an official business organization of His Majesty. The shackles of expansion lay in the lack of In fact, it is very easy to expand talents, just ask His Majesty to send people to join. Once this is implemented, the game of the Ministry of Economic Development will be the imperial court taking the initiative.
