Take the mall to Datang

It has been expanded with all its strength, but the constraints and knowledge it has received will also intensify. Of course, the most beneficial benefit is to be able to get financial support from the imperial court.

Once Yuanshan decides to do this, it feels like he wants to sell the Ministry of Economics and Development, but the actual beneficiaries are all the officials in the Ministry of Economics and Development. It really belongs to the imperial court.

But the shortcomings are also obvious. In the future, I will no longer do things as I want, the purpose of struggle will also change slightly, and the style of doing things will also be different.

"I need to think twice this time. There are thousands of people in the Ministry of Economics and Development. If this decision is really made, no one will be able to say in the future." Yu Jingming said.

Ma Zhou doesn't know as much about official affairs as Yu Jingming does, but he is smart enough to realize the pros and cons. Psychologically speaking, he is very supportive of this, because only in this way can the Ministry of Economics and Development really have the possibility of being in the sixth department. With a real status, it may be possible to become the seventh department of Datang.

But the disadvantages are very obvious, that is, the Ministry of Economic Development will play games with various departments in the court from now on, and even be restricted by His Majesty.

"No matter what I do, Ma Zhou will follow." Ma Zhou said.

"Look at how worried you are. Don't be too nervous. Management will try to avoid risks. There are always more solutions than difficulties, right?" Yuan Shan said.

The atmosphere in the Ministry of Economics and Development made Yuan Shan tense with a few words, so he had to do business first and talk about the internal affairs of the Ministry of Economics and Development later.

With Yuan Shan's benefit, the selection of mines went smoothly. The four large mines that were added in this way were all to be handed over to the Ministry of Industry, and then at least [-] small mines were selected and authorized to businessmen. to dig.

The main place to choose is Shanxi, the area around Hebei is full of mining areas, and the area around Chengdu and Jiangxi also has plans. It depends on who is willing to send people to mine.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Economic Development was high, and the matter of the mining site was confirmed on the same day. At the same time, Liang Ming's talent school posted an admissions notice, and the poor children in various counties in Chang'an City had hope again, and they rushed over as soon as possible.

Some people from wealthy families were somewhat resistant to this. The increase in students from poor families would affect their family's status among scholars.

It is expected that the imperial examinations in the middle of this year will start soon. The news has already spread to all parts of the Tang Dynasty in the previous year. The examinations in remote areas should be prepared when they were notified in the previous year. It is proceeding according to the usual practice, and the exam will be conducted collectively in the middle of the year in Chang'an.

The content of the exam has not changed, except that some subjects have been added, which is not a problem for Confucian scholars, and the martial arts exam will be held at the same time, and the martial arts exam will be more intense. The exam venue has been set at the Blue River Village Stadium.

The people on the street were discussing, and the Ministry of Economic Development posted a notice on the same day, with a lot of things written on it, and there were a total of 43 authorized mining sites on it. Although there was no specific location, such a large number was enough Let the merchants go crazy.

Chapter 709 Business Family

After the merchants in Chang'an heard the news, they immediately called their family members to discuss, and the Zheng family immediately sent someone to Lanzhou to inform Zheng Manchu.

Xue Kai is discussing with his family members at home. He is planning to go to Lanzhou to rent a few buildings and then rent and open a branch of Xuejia Mall. After receiving the news of the mine opening, he postponed his plan to invest in Lanzhou.

Xue Kai is a little uncertain. The scale of the Xue family's property is not smaller than that of the Zheng family, and their wealth accumulation is even greater than that of the Zheng family. The reason is that the Xue family's business style is very cautious, and they would rather make more money than spend too much In addition, the Xue family likes to buy land very much.

After several generations of reproduction and management, although the fame is not as big as the Zheng family, but the wealth earned in a low-key manner is quite a lot.

In Yuan Shan's eyes, this old man belonged to the kind of old, treacherous and cunning businessman. A while ago, he did a few timber transfer transactions and made quick money. I have to say that he has a good vision, but he is too cautious.

After the Ministry of Economic Development disclosed the number of mines, Xue Kai was moved. His family property was rich and he built a mall called Yonghefang. , Every day makes money.

Authorized mining is very profitable, and what is needed is tickets and organizational skills. For tickets, there is no doubt that there is a sufficient amount of deposit. With organizational skills, there are many people in the Xue family. How difficult is it to manage a mine.

He is a businessman who has frequent contacts with businessmen. He knows the businessmen who have been authorized before and has seen that mining requires labor.

Xue Kai was thinking about it when a maid in the mansion came over and said, "Patriarch, the young master is back."

Xue Kai's eldest son, Xue Ronghua, has rushed back from Chengdu. Xue Ronghua is in his prime and he is Xue Kai's most promising son. He is expected to inherit the family business in the future. Besides this position, he has three sons who have been doing business in other places all year round. Although the ability is not as good as the boss, it is still possible to keep the business.

The young master of the Xue family returned to Chang'an after letting go of the land property. Xue Kai took it very seriously because he needed to discuss with Song Ronghua about investing in the mine.

Xue Ronghua appeared very calm when he entered the room.

Xue Kai is very satisfied with his eldest son, but because he married a young and beautiful wife, there have been some estrangements among the Xue family. The power is getting bigger and bigger, and the sons are not stupid, and they are all scattered to various places to do business, just waiting to divide the family property.

"Father, how much does our Xue family have to invest, and how much should I share with my younger brothers." Xue Ronghua said straight to the point without any worries.

In this way, it is not offensive at all for the businessmen of the family to talk about money. Besides, the entire Xue family's family business is not created by Xue Kai alone.

"Mining is a lucrative business. Although the imperial court has set limits on the price of ore purchases, even so, the immediate benefits are considerable. Besides, what I value more is the future. With the increase of mines, can the imperial court really be able to control the entire world's mineral resources?" All the iron ore is purchased, and sooner or later the merchants will be able to sell the ore privately, so this time I called you back to be mainly responsible for this matter, and the specific amount of investment depends on the bidding situation." Xue Kai said.

Xue Ronghua's face is calm, but his heart is like a huge wave. Depending on the situation, this means that this investment is bound to have no bottom line at all. This is to win the entire Xue family's background.

Xue Ronghua knew it well, as long as he was authorized, the future of the Xue family would reach a new height.

Being cautious is the trick of the Xue family in doing business. Even Xue Ronghua, who is very capable, is still thinking about this matter after returning to his room in the capital at night, and even asked someone to call his three younger brothers back to Chang'an.

The gathering of the Xue family is going to be held in advance.

There are many business families like the Xue family in Chang'an. The Shi family who are engaged in business are also studying at the moment. Not only the merchants in Chang'an have started to act, but also the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce. Lu Ang is the beneficiary of the first round of authorized mining. , because with the authorization, the current Lu family is very different, and it can be said that its influence is very high.

Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Sui Dynasty, and its profound heritage is even worse than that of Chang'an. Regardless of the current capital of Chang'an, the style and heritage of Luoyang's merchants are unmatched.

As for the current Zheng family, Zheng Chifeng's lineage originally settled in Luoyang, and went to Chang'an after the fall of the Sui Dynasty. Or how can I say that they are very familiar with businessmen, and they have started dating since their ancestors.

Luoyang businessmen are gearing up and eager to try. Although the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce is a community of interests, it is not realistic for the development of each company. They even help each other, just saying "not bad money".

In the office building of the Building Materials Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Yifu and others were also discussing.

Wei Da said: "This time, the Wei family will bid for the mine."

Zheng Yiman and Gong Shunan didn't think it was strange but a little worried. To be honest, the biggest support behind the Wei family was Wei Guifei.

Before the second marriage, Webster was the daughter-in-law of Li Zixiong, the general secretary of the Sui Dynasty, so the relationship between the Wei family is a bit complicated, and the authorization of the mine is supposed to not allow people with such a relationship to participate.

But Wei Da is a little different. Although in the final analysis it is dependent on Concubine Wei, Wei Da's lineage is not a direct line, but a branch of a small family that has been blessed by the noble concubine. This time Wei Da intends to bid mainly to prove for the family.

In order for the Wei family to really develop, there are not many people with the surname Wei. Many people can think of the general relationship when they mention the Wei family, but in fact the Wei family does not only have one branch.

"You also know that although your Wei family doesn't have much relationship with the imperial concubine, the relationship must exist. If you participate, it may be difficult not to be criticized." Zheng Manfu said.

Gongshu Nan was also worried about Wei Da, and said: "Besides, even if you can participate, do you know how much you need to invest in mining? The public loser has calculated that the profit from mining is huge, but don't forget labor, freight, plus The deposit money is not a small expense, and there are risk management regulations. If someone has an accident, the compensation will be tripled. In addition, if it is passed through the strict review of the Ministry of Development, it will be said to other people's ears. That's all, but if it affects Concubine Wei Gui's reputation, your Wei family will be in big trouble, and if this matter is not handled well, it will bring trouble to the Ministry of Economics and Development."

Gong Shunan's family belonged to a hermit family, the one who made a fortune silently, and had a lot of thoughts about the ways of the world. The relationship between the few people was very good, and Gong Shunan was also outspoken.

It is a bit embarrassing for Wei Da to say this. On the one hand, he revitalizes the family, and the gang is afraid of adverse effects. Although he has saved a little money in the past few years, he knows the cruelty of reality.

Chapter 710 Supervising the Construction of Daming Palace

Wei Da felt a little anxious. He planned to participate in the bidding and faced various problems. He suddenly found that the deep-rooted personal connections made him very disgusted.

The source that he most wants to hate is actually His Majesty. For the so-called balance, to suppress the aristocratic family, and to balance power, he has thought for a long time in order to be able to break the shackles without causing trouble and entanglement.

Soon wealthy businessmen from various state capitals began to gather, and the influence of the name of the Ministry of Economic Development began to slowly spread to various state capitals, especially the fact that Lanzhou was built by one's own efforts.

Even small businessmen who couldn't participate in the bidding came to join in the fun, wondering if they could find some opportunities.

Let the four maidservants know that Caiyi in the Lantian Hou Mansion has become a housekeeper. They are the four beautiful and talented female secretaries of Yuanshan. He followed the first step, but complained a little, so Caiyi tried to avoid a few women these days as much as possible.

Because as long as they got together, Lan Lan would ask about what happened that night, which made Caiyi even more shy and unstoppable, so she didn't have to run away immediately when she heard the voices of several people.

From then on, Yuan Shan's study room became lively again. Lan Lan, Qin Si, Xi Yin, and Qi Meng started to work as female secretaries again. They stayed by Yuan Shan's side every day, and Lan Lan was even closer to Yuan Shan. , follow him wherever he goes.

Surrounded by Yingying and Yanyan every day, Yuan Shan didn't feel annoyed, seeing them wearing different dresses and high heels every day was very eye-catching, as if they had passed away.
