Take the mall to Datang

When the messenger came again, Yuan Shan was so annoyed when he saw the letter. He didn't know what Li Shimin was thinking. It was a big deal and three times the tax. It was good to have such an emperor who didn't care about personal interests. It is very good to fill the treasury.

So Yuanshan really agreed, and at the same time he also obtained the sales rights of Yantian. Compared with the output and quality, the salt mine of the imperial court is no match at all.

The Ministry of Economic Development began to operate the Yantian project, and the Ministry of Economic Development was responsible for the shares of His Majesty, while the Yuan family took what he should take.

With the help of Lingnan Port, the surrounding people, and the vast and boundless sea.

The construction began at this moment. The Xiaolong personally escorted a large amount of salt and set off from Lingnan. The merchants who were absorbed in were responsible for the transportation and operation of the land route. The sea route was started together. The land route mainly transported salt to the northwest region, and the sea transport was coastal generation.

The Xiaolong shipped a boatload of money back, and several coastal chambers of commerce united to sell it in batches. In just three months, the supply of salt fields covered Datang, and the price of salt was generally higher than the price of imperial salt.

Even so, the high-priced salt produced by Yantian sells faster and more than official salt.

All the chambers of commerce along the coast have made a lot of money because of the salt industry turmoil, and even some industries have made very good profits, and the transportation tools such as horse-drawn carriages have been greatly developed.

Yan Lide seized the business opportunity and used the Ministry of Industry to manufacture a large number of frames, and sold as many as he made. The order line was so long that if he hadn't allocated people to build Daming Palace, the output of frames would have been even higher.

Because of this, a large number of horses are sold in the cattle and horse market in Lanzhou every day. The local Ministry of Economic Development restricts the number of horses sold, otherwise the horses in Lanzhou will be snatched up by merchants.

Lanzhou Ranch is carrying out conservation breeding of horses, which requires a long process.

In order to supplement the demand for horses and start a large number of trade exchanges with the Turks in the north, Changsun Wuji personally took the lead in getting the treasury to pay enough to buy horses and distribute them to merchants in need.

According to statistics, the number of horses in Datang has at least doubled, and the number of registered horses is 20. These are just the part that encourages horse breeding and enjoys the face tax, and the number of horses that have not been counted is even more.

Especially with several newly established chambers of commerce along the coast, the fleet of horses and horses has expanded rapidly, and the number of horses on the carriages is generally three times that of the Chang'an Luoyang fleet.

North-South trade, a large amount of goods were transported to the two places. Cloth embroidery in Suzhou and Hangzhou has always been a high-end product of the cloth shop. A large number of supplies made the cloth business in Suzhou and Hangzhou glow again under the influence of cotton cloth.

At the same time, Zhouji Cloth Shop in Suzhou launched a new type of printed and dyed cotton cloth with refreshing patterns and colors. The output and price of ordinary cotton cloth are almost the same as those of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce.

The Cotton Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Qi, Zhao Tuo, Shi Yi and other shareholders are discussing matters, because the supply of Suzhou cloth has greatly affected their sales in several southern states, and Zhou Ji cloth line is like Going on a rampage like a runaway wild horse.

"President Zheng, I heard that Yuan Pushe is coming back from Lingnan, why don't we ask him for help then." Shi Yi said.

"The Cotton Chamber of Commerce has no interest relationship with Yuan Pushe. I'm afraid we still have to rely on ourselves this time." Zheng Qi said with a sigh.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace. The Cotton Chamber of Commerce is developing very well. Maybe we should not only consider market share, but also pay attention to products." Zhao Tuo said, and someone brought some cloth that had been prepared in advance.

"These are all bought from cloth merchants in Suzhou. The weaving technique of the cotton cloth is the same as ours." Zhao Tuo said.

Chapter 780 Back to Cangzhou

"What's going on? Is our textile technology leaked?" Zheng Qi asked.

"I sent someone to inquire. It is said that after Yuan Pushe left Suzhou, the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce made an internal investment. Zhouji Cloth received a lot of funds and began to develop in the form of a textile factory. As for textile technology, it is no secret at all. , They also rely on production and distribution models." Zhao Tuo said.

There was no competition before, so Zheng Qi didn't have too many ideas. Anyway, making money with his eyes closed made his business vigilance too relaxed, so that Zhou Ji Buxing became a newcomer to the cloth line before he realized it.

"Things have already happened and cannot be undone. I believe that with the strength of our Cotton Chamber of Commerce, we will not lose to anyone. Take the printed and dyed cloth to the printing and dyeing workers in the cotton mill and let them study it. If you want to seize the store, you have to see if there is any." Really capable." Zheng Qi said.

Zhao Tuo’s way of thinking is different from Zheng Qi’s. As an investor, he cares more about investment returns. He will attend the businessmen’s symposium held by the Chang’an Economic and Development Department. The Economic and Development Department will share some interesting business ideas. Businessmen also had discussions, which benefited him a lot.

When Zhou Ji Cloth's new printing and dyeing products were shipped to Chang'an, he knew that the Cotton Chamber of Commerce had met an opponent this time.

The history of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce has always been like a free ride. Most of them rely on the advantages of raw materials and capital investment. Now they also have funds. Except that the transportation fee is slightly more expensive, everything else is the same. He heard that Suzhou It seems that the Chamber of Commerce has also gone to Chengdu to invest in cotton fields, and most of the convoys it plans to build are also used to transport cotton thread.

What he was most curious about was what Yuanshan had done in Suzhou, and why there were businessmen willing to pay for things wherever he went.

In fact, it’s not just the Cotton Chamber of Commerce that feels the pressure. Chang’an’s shopping malls are also under competitive pressure. In 1000, Prince Li Chengqian opened a new Yongpingfang shopping mall in Yongpingfang, specializing in high-end consumption such as gold and silver utensils, jade bamboo gemstones, and Fanbang goods. The things in the clothing area are impressive, and the various special clothing in the clothing area attracts most of the Fanbang people. The food area is relatively simple, and the main products are all barbecue products.

Roasted whole lamb is the main product. I don’t know where the prince found the barbecue master. The skill of roasting whole lamb has spread throughout Chang’an City in just a few months. What’s more exaggerated is the roasted whole lamb. The venue turned out to be on the roof of a three-story pavilion, so that you could smell the smell of roasted lamb from a long distance near Yongpingfang Mall.

As a result, a third large-scale comprehensive shopping mall appeared in Chang'an City. The main business focuses on high-end and high-end consumption. Each of the three shopping malls has its own characteristics, and many main industries are not affected. They are always for display, and the sales performance is not very good. Most of them are purchased by some merchants as gifts during major festivals.

The jade and jewelry in Yongpingfang are relatively more traditional. It is simply a collection of commodities from the east and the west. The most eye-catching thing is the clothing area. All kinds of exquisite Hu clothes are made more than the Hu nobles themselves. The clothes are all good-looking, and you can tell at a glance that they have been carefully improved.

For a period of time, it has attracted a lot of attention, especially the Hufu worn by women can highlight the heroic spirit of women. The style is full of Tang style and has become a princess of the Tang Dynasty. It is the type that princesses like, and it is indispensable when playing polo and other sports. clothing.

The Xuejia Mall in Yonghefang has all kinds of things. It can be said that most of the items in the collection and various market are similar to the small commodity market, but this kind of shopping mall does have the most daily traffic and the most income.

The development of commerce has changed the lives of the common people, but at the beginning it was the merchants themselves who were making the changes. Yuan Shan had already returned to Yuezhou on the Xiaolong.

In a few months, Yuezhou has undergone tremendous changes. The Yuezhou Chamber of Commerce collectively invested and opened the Yuezhou Mall and the Yuezhou Market. The Mall is still a comprehensive shopping mall, while the market is dedicated to selling vegetables, fruits, and meat. The urban area of ​​the state is not too big, just to reintegrate the resources, and the aquatic products of the wharf have also developed.

Dried fish fillets and other deep-processed products have appeared in an endless stream, especially the demand for fish fillets has begun to drive the development of coastal cities.

Back in Dugu Mansion, Yuan Shan became a star again, Dugu Kang was smiling, Dugu Ruolan was running a business in Yuezhou, and their Dugu family had the biggest income, and now they are almost the richest man in Yuezhou.

"My son-in-law, I am reluctant to let you go." Dugu Kang said.

Yuan Shan smiled and said: "I have to go back to Chang'an because of official business in the court."

Dugu Ruolan is saying goodbye to her mother right now.

The most difficult thing for Dugu is Dugu Xiaoquan, who is now two years old and very cute. Every day Dugu Ruolan plays with the little guy for a while. Yuan Shan knows very well how much she longs to be a mother in her heart. .

But not everything came naturally, at least in this matter, even if Yuan Shan didn't pay attention, they still had no results, which was quite surprising.

The old house of the Yuan family has now become a fish oil workshop, and fish oil has become a new generation of health care products. If it is sold in several larger state capitals, if there is no limit, the production will not be able to keep up. The cost is high and the price will be higher.

Most of Dugu Ruolan's development funds in Yuezhou come from fish oil, and this is thanks to the whale, otherwise the production would not be possible.

The summer in the south is extremely hot, and the Xiaolong is about to arrive in Cangzhou. When Yuan Shan thinks about the journey from Cangzhou to Chang'an, he doesn't want to go back.

A group of people waited to disembark at the Cangzhou Wharf. The construction would change its appearance every once in a while. The Jiaolong docked at the wharf and had completed most of the hull modification. The requirements of the warship are actually very simple and strong, so many places need to be reinforced. .

Tian Yuan was the happiest when he saw the Jiaolong. This Fuzhou guerrilla general holds the title of Fuzhou sailor, but in fact he is very likely to become the leader of the treasure ship fleet. Who would not dream of such a bright future.

"Yuan Pushe, you are back." Gao Biaoren came to greet him.

"Huh? Shouldn't you be in Fusang at this time." Yuan Shan asked doubtfully.

"It's not because of the paper-making workshop. Daimyo Taniguchi of Kyushu Island thought that the interests of the paper-making workshop were being besieged by other daimyos. We Datang people were afraid of being implicated, so we all came back." Gao Biaoren said.

"What about the industry in Fuso? If Daimyo Taniguchi fails, wouldn't it mean that all the industries we invested in before have been wasted." Yuan Shan said, even if it is said that, the profits earned by paper making are much more than the investment.

"Yuan Pushe don't worry, this matter has been concluded, and I will report to you after returning to Cangzhou City." Gao Biaoren said.

Chapter 781

Back in the urban area of ​​Cangzhou, Gao Biaoren talked about Fusang in the office of the Ministry of Economic Development.

"The Datang Trading Company is very famous in Fusang now. All the daimyos in Kyushu Island have issued a statement that the land of the Trading Company belongs to the public concession. They all hope to do business with each other. After this agreement, it is not easy for Zhou Ru to bring people to help. Taniguchi, right now we are going back when the daimyos of Kyushu Island decide who is the best," Gao Biaoren said.

"A conflict of interests, but in this way, the trading company will be very dangerous, because there is no guarantee whether the next controller will betray the agreement." Yuan Shan said.

"Taniguchi Taro is an aspiring daimyo, and all the gains he has gained are used to develop and hoard. I'm afraid it will not be easy for other daimyos to think of defeating him." Gao Biaoren said.
