Take the mall to Datang

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, let's sign the contract."

Yuan Shan didn't write any ink, and signed the contract there, so he specially found the person he liked from the Ministry of Economics and Development, and people from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry came over as witnesses.

Selling glass is very smooth. Yuanjia's glass factory has a large inventory, and glass can be cut before making glass doors and windows. This can be done with a glass knife.

After signing the contract, the Yuan family began to move the glass from the workshop. The glass was very heavy, and all the Yuan family cavalry had to be transported back and forth many times, and they were directly responsible for the transportation to several counties. It cost a lot.

The glass has been transported non-stop for a few days, and the speed of announcement is faster than expected. The materials are ready immediately, and the people in several counties are all eager to try it, because they have long heard that Xinfeng County is building The vegetable greenhouses are all hired by the people in the county.

I don't know if the project hosted by the imperial court is different. Seeing that the enthusiastic people didn't respond, all the laborers were dispatched from the Ministry of Industry. Besides, Changsun Wuji didn't think about the extra labor costs at all.

As a result, the common people on several sites stared blankly. During the construction process, the corvee workers were very unwilling. Most of the service personnel were still not enough, and the materials were sufficient but the construction period was very slow.

After this incident happened, the county magistrate began to submit a memorial to explain this problem. Li Shimin was extremely helpless. He had no choice but to allocate some money according to public opinion, so he started hiring workers. The treatment conditions were not as good as those of Xinfeng and Lantian. It's lower than the minimum wage for hired workers in Chang'an City, but the people in several poor counties are still very happy and finally able to make more money.

The pits just got bigger and bigger, even if the wages were low, they had to take care of the food, which led to a continuous increase in the price of pork in Chang'an City, and a small increase in the wages of the employees.

How about the five roads? The construction of several vegetable greenhouses planned by the imperial court has begun, and the model is still carried out according to the model of Xinfeng County.

Both the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry began to pay attention. In order to be safe, they asked the Ministry of Economics and Development to remove some backbones for guidance. The project was carried out in a decent manner.

"I've made money, I've made money!" Yuan Shan muttered in Lantian Hou's mansion.

For the 80 pieces of glass money, Yuan Shan immediately prepared the colorful clothes around him. He wanted to distribute the money. Most of it became the capital expenditure of the money bank, and the remaining part needed to be used as the zoo's funds.

In a blink of an eye, the money was allocated directly again.

Unknowingly, after coming back from Lanzhou, Yuanshan has been in Chang'an for more than three months. He felt that he should take it easy for the imperial examinations and lion martial arts activities. The news about the Cangzhou shipyard has always been maintained. The construction speed of Baochuan customized by the imperial court is only Cangzhou. The construction speed of the treasure ship is the fastest, and the basic framework of the Liangzhou ship has almost been built.

The reason why he didn't want to go to Cangzhou was that the distance was too long. It would be great if the railway could be built there.

Fantasy is beautiful, but Lu Xuan, the merchant of the Satisfaction, has become richer now. After going out to sea for a while, he is basically familiar with several points along the coast, and the construction of the port is in progress.

A lot of manpower and material resources are burning money every moment.

Under the leadership of Inspector Feng Ang and the participation of many bureaucrats in Lingnan Port, the cement kiln construction process is very smooth, and now they have entered the stage of large-scale production. All input is their own responsibility.

The part of the cement produced that is used to build the port becomes a fee-based item. The employer who can’t help it is the Ministry of Economic Development, which burns money every day, and cement bricks are money.

The same thing applies to various ports such as Suzhou and Hangzhou. The south and above are better. The materials and manpower in Suzhou and other places are well prepared, and the construction speed is naturally faster.

Chang'an City Edge came to the teahouse, and a group of existing leaders from the Ministry of Economic Development gathered here. They were all trying to find a way when they were short of money.

"Continue to carry out the project. Isn't the grain transported from Zhengzhou not sold yet? It can be used to raise pigs. The Ministry of Economic Development will start its own development project next, and the pork must be raised as soon as possible." Yuan Shan said .

The development strategy of the Ministry of Economic Development has changed again. In addition to sharing projects with wealthy businessmen, it is still focusing on developing its own projects. For example, tea gardens in the south and pig farms in the north were used to carry out project exchanges through wealthy businessmen. Now Is planning to start a new farm.

Chapter 732 Xiaolong

All the money needed by the Ministry of Economic Development has been mortgaged to the money bank by using the project, so the loan amount of the Ministry of Economic Development is very large, which can be regarded as continuous consumption for a period of time.

In order to make money, the Cangzhou went to sea frequently, and every time it returned, it would bring a large amount of paper back.

This investment is only profitable after the convenience of the Ministry of Economics and Development. Yuanshan's control of the core technology is regarded as a storage project, which is specially used to produce toilet paper. If the money is sold, Yuanshan will get [-]% of the dividends, and [-]% will go to the Ministry of Economics and Development. .

Although the Ministry of Economics and Development will get a lot of benefits, there are many conditions. For example, the core technology will not belong to the Ministry of Economics and Development. That is to say, the paper mill can only earn enough to operate normally when the Yuanjia Paper Factory participates.

The labor, materials, sales and other things are all done by the Ministry of Economics and Development.

The thin toilet paper is still a little yellowed, because it does not need to be bleached, which saves a lot of processes, and the cost of toilet paper is low. The materials used are all collected from Fusang, and the resource cost is very low. nothing.

It’s not good for writing, it’s just right for wiping your butt, and the price is cheaper than normal paper. The advantage is that the price of each roll of toilet paper is cheap, and the common people can afford it. A large roll of paper is very large, almost It can be used for a month, and you only need to pay two pennies. Anyone who is a little more particular will be willing to buy it.

The goods of the Cangzhou were first sold in Cangzhou, but all the toilet paper was robbed, leaving a lot of copper coins, and the supply in Chang'an was really very little, and there were not a few copies, which led to toilet paper in Chang'an. The price has risen to the point of five pennies a roll, but it is a pity that it is still not available.

It seems to be quite expensive to sell, but there are many rich people, even ordinary people like some families of coachmen with an income of thirty or forty yuan can afford it.

What else could Yuanshan say after learning about this matter, and after calling a meeting with everyone, he decided to make the Fusang Paper Mill flourish.

A few months later, Fusang’s paper-making room has been expanded several times, and the output has increased a lot. The toilet paper shipped back can now be used by the people of Cangzhou. The price of Chang’an toilet paper is still very expensive, and the price still has a certain increase space.

Another thing is that Li Shimin decided to build the Chang'an-Suzhou railway, and the large-scale start of construction has once again become a focus topic.

In addition, the construction of the Daming Palace was very fast. Unfortunately, the Taishang Emperor did not wait until the day when the Daming Palace was completed.

The whole country mourned, and all the officials of the imperial court began to deal with this matter, so many projects were stopped, and Pingkangfang was all suspended during this period.

In Lantian Hou Mansion, Yuan Shan stays at home with Cai Yi in the study, studying his plan.

There is a lot of noise in the court, His Majesty is in a very bad mood these days, smart people don’t go to bad luck, besides, there are many officials’ affairs that need to be dealt with, now Li Shimin has become the only emperor, and Chang’an City begins to welcome the princes from all walks of life return.

There are many sons of Li Yuan, and they all come back to perform sacrifices. They don't know what will happen, and many of them are trembling.

"Master Hou, since Chang'an City is so peaceful now, why don't we go back to Yuan's Manor." Caiyi said.

Caiyi is also a person who can talk now, and there is a hint of intimacy in her words. Yuanshan's secretaries have not been in charge of their respective malls again during this period, and they spend most of their time in the Hou's mansion.

"No, if His Majesty summons a group of ministers, it will definitely be troublesome if the Marquis doesn't arrive. Don't do things that you have enjoyed during this period of time. The morning exercise will be canceled collectively. Everyone should be cautious in their words and deeds." Yuan Shan said.

What he didn't say was to ask them to protect themselves, but they really can't do anything about this kind of thing if they encounter bad people.

However, he still explained to Yanbei and Xue Rengui.

Li Yuanjing, King of Zhao, Li Yuanchang, King of Han, and the other princes who were released from outside all came back. They were all Li Shimin's younger brothers, so the farewell ceremony was very grand.

Although Yuan Shan is proud, but when will it be decided?

The farewell ceremony was attended by all civil and military officials of the dynasty. The brothers and sisters of the Li family were not in a good mood, so they finished the matter very harmoniously. However, many princes who had been released did not leave immediately.

Li Yuanchang was one of them. Nothing special happened in the following days. The third treasure ship was successfully launched, which is considered a good thing.

The big ship was handed over to the imperial court, the construction of the fourth ship was more than half done, and the fifth treasure ship continued to be built.

This is good news recently.

Under the suggestion of Changsun Wuji, a fleet of Datang warships was prepared to serve as cargo ships for maritime trade and material transportation when there was no battle.

Li Shimin personally named the treasure ship "Xiaolong".

During the test ship, I carried out a round-trip transportation from Cangzhou to Lingnan with the Satisfaction ship. At the same time, I practiced sailors on the Xiaolong ship. I stopped at a port on the coast and stopped like this. The cargo transportation was not delayed, and I returned from the south. Later, a large amount of food was also transported.

The first trial ship still had some benefits, so the second trip, the Xiaolong followed the Cangzhou to carry out maritime trade. However, the Xiaolong used to be not for trade, but to show off its might as a warship.

After the Xiaolong returned to Cangzhou Port, the urgent letter of six hundred miles was sent back to Chang'an.

The Royal Study Room got the news about Xiaolong, and Lian Sheng said three good words.

"With this treasure ship, the coastal defense of the Tang Dynasty will be completely in my hands." Li Shimin was a little excited, because he saw a map of Gaoguli, and Emperor Sui Yang failed in his three battles against Goryeo.
