Take the mall to Datang

"Your Majesty's decree has come down. Originally, he wanted to negotiate with Lanzhou and ask them to allocate [-] Tuhun people as labor, but Zhang Wenyi, the governor of Lanzhou, said that it is possible to employ people, but each person needs a penny a day. After several negotiations, His Majesty did not agree The money will be paid, and Inspector Zhang is not good at disobeying the will, but the rules set by Lord Lan cannot be ignored, so I came to discuss this matter with Lord Lan," said Yan Lide.

"Even though not paying wages is worse than working, this kind of thing will not be agreed by the people of the country. They are different from the Turks, so the treatment is somewhat different. At least the wages of one penny a day must be less." Yuan Yuan Good insists strongly.

Yan Lide is in a dilemma, don't underestimate this penny, 5 people are [-] pennies a day, and [-] pennies a day. At present, the construction period is at least three months, and the wages are at least [-] pennies. Although it is not much, it is considered food, drink and housing. , It’s all money and labor costs. This part requires Wanguan.

"Now His Majesty strictly controls the expenditure of the national treasury. Isn't there no way?" Yan Lide said.

"Yan Shangshu, you still need to discuss this matter with His Majesty. After all, labor is different from slavery. 5 people are not a small number. If you only care about the present, it doesn't matter whether there is such money in the outside world. But in the long run, This penny is related to the great plan of national integration, I believe at least explain to His Majesty whether Yan Shangshu will be embarrassed." Yuan Shan said.

"It seems like this is the only way to go." Yan Lide said.

After Yan Lide left, Yuan Shan felt that this was all he could fight for the laborers.

Not long after, Lu Ziang, president of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, visited.

When the two met, they were polite first.

"See Duke Lan." Lu Ziang said.

"You're welcome, President Lu, what's the matter?" Yuan Shan asked. The Luoyang Chamber of Commerce participated in the construction of Tuyuhun. I feel that Lu Ziang came here today for this matter, but in terms of details, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Economics and Development of the imperial court did not agree. The discussion has been completed, and the people from the chamber of commerce came here to establish a relationship? It doesn't seem to be the case.

"My servant, this visit is to discuss the purchase of treasure ships with Lan Guogong on behalf of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce. Our Luoyang Chamber of Commerce hopes to order two ships." Lu Ziang said.

"Treasure ships? Two ships. It seems that your Luoyang Chamber of Commerce has developed well in the past few years." Yuan Shan said while thinking that half of the ships delivered to the imperial court have already been delivered. Yes, you can still get the deposit first.

The five treasure ships of Xiaolong, Jiaolong, Zhenguan, Taizong, and Chang'an have been delivered, and there are still five treasure ships that can be delivered by Cangzhou Shipyard within two years.

"Lan Guogong laughed. Luoyang's business is basically based on Chang'an's development model. It has made some money. After discussion, the chamber of commerce thinks that sea transportation is a direction of development. With sea transportation, the circulation of goods from north to south will be very convenient. We I hope to buy a ship capable of long-distance voyages." Lu Zi'ang said.

"The cost of a treasure ship is not low, 35 yuan a piece, and your Luoyang Chamber of Commerce wants two more. In fact, this is not a problem. The key is that the shipyard is currently in production. You must ensure the supply of treasure ships to the imperial court before you can consider you. Yes, in fact, it is very embarrassing for the national public, if you can wait, maybe you can be earlier than other chambers of commerce, and tell you that you are not the first batch to book a ship, and there are people who are earlier than you." Yuan Shan said.

"Oh? It seems that the merchants in Datang are very competitive. It doesn't matter. In fact, our Chamber of Commerce hopes to obtain ships as soon as possible, even medium-sized merchant ships." Lu Ziang said.

"There seem to be quite a few medium-sized merchant ships," Yuan Shan said.

Lu Ziang was a little puzzled, but he said it anyway, and said, "Mr. Lan, all the shipyards along the coast are now producing treasure ships, so there is no place for medium-sized merchant ships at all."

What Lu Ziang was actually saying was that the imperial court occupied almost [-]% of the dock resources, so how could the docks produce more merchant ships.

Yuan Shan understood what Lu Ziang meant, but so what, there are only so many shipyards in Datang, and it would be nice to have these.

And the production of fishing boats does not require a dock at all, and carpenter workshops can make them, so how could the court, which has never supported commerce, think of this. Now that commerce and trade have begun to develop, it is normal to lack medium-sized and above ships.

"President Lu, you don't need to worry. The matter will be resolved. You just said that a medium-sized ship is fine. If this is the case, the production time will be shortened a lot." Yuan Shan said.

"It doesn't matter, medium-sized ships can just meet the needs of north-south shipping. In fact, medium-sized ships are easier to maintain than large ships." Lu Ziang said.

"Well, it's good if there is a need, but we still have to wait two years later. If President Lu is in a hurry, you can actually ask people from the Ministry of Industry or the Carpenters Alliance for help. Almost all the carpenters in Chang'an and Luoyang have covered most of them. It's actually not that difficult to customize a ship," Yuan Shan said.

"Hey, Duke Lan's words awakened the dreamer." Lu Ziang said.

"Where, if it is to produce treasure ships, people from the Carpenter Alliance may not be able to do so because it requires the core technical support of treasure ships, but it is still completely possible to produce ordinary merchant ships. It may be necessary to build a dock first. I believe this is not an investment for the chamber of commerce. Question." Yuan Shan said.

"Lan Guogong is right, and we can also find other chambers of commerce that need shipbuilding." Lu Ziang said.

"This way the problem will be solved." Yuan Shan said.

"Thank you Lan Guogong for your guidance." Lu Ziang said.

"Where is the guidance, just chatting, the development of the chamber of commerce is very important, and it will develop well under the body of obeying the laws, and the court will not ignore the difficulties." Yuan Shanyu said earnestly.

After talking for a while, Lu Ziang left.

Yuwen Wanrou and Yuwen Linglong just came back from Yuwen Mansion.

"Husband, what are you doing sitting here?" Yuwen Linglong asked.

"I just met a guest, what are you holding?" Yuan Shan asked.

"They're all vegetables. We're going to learn how to cook with Sister Yunxi tonight, and my husband will have a taste of our cooking." Yuwen Linglong said.

"Okay, anyway, as long as it's not Qian Yu's cooking." Yuan Shan muttered softly.

"Husband, what did you just say?" Yuwen Wanrou asked.

"Ah, it's nothing, you guys go to cook, I want to try your handicrafts tonight." Yuan Shan said.

At dinner, a table of people gathered around and looked at all kinds of messy things on the table, and they couldn't tell what they were.

Yuan Shan's face turned dark. Even if it wasn't dark food, it was black food. Can it really be eaten?

Sister Yuwen was a little shy, affectionate, and looked at Yuanshan full of expectation. She had seen this expression on Du Qianyu's face. Once upon a time, everyone looked at him. Anyway, this time I can't run away. I hurt myself as a killer.

"The dishes are a bit darker, so I don't know how they taste. It's pretty good to be able to cook something tangible for the first time. I'm not hungry yet, or we'll do it again later." Yuan Shan said.

"Husband, the food will be cold after a while, and you can't disappoint the two sisters' kindness." Dugu Ruolan said.

Dugu Ruolan made it clear that she wanted to punish him, Yuan Shan immediately said: "Why don't Madam try it first, after all, you are also their sister."

"Thank you for your kindness, husband. In fact, we have already eaten outside, and today's dishes are prepared for your husband. I am not blessed to enjoy it. My two sisters, why are you still standing still and not serving your husband for dinner?" Dugu Ruolan As he spoke, his brows were full of deep meaning and his smile was full.

"Okay, Wanrou, Linglong, you don't have to be so busy, my husband will definitely try your handicraft." Yuan Shan was crying in his heart, and his movements were a little slow, because there was nowhere to put his chopsticks, they were all of the same color.

Just picked up a piece of something I don't know, and ate it. At this time, I still can't hit them, and I can't resist the strange smell, and my expression is uglier than crying.

"Husband, how does it taste?" Yuwen Linglong said.

"Well, it's very special." Yuan Shan said against his will, but he told the truth, the taste is really very special.

"Then husband, eat more." The two Yuwen sisters began to serve Yuanshan for dinner.

"Ah, my husband still has business to do, it's too late, you can eat dinner by yourself, don't miss your Majesty's business." Yuan Shan ran away as if fleeing.

Chapter 837 Super VIP Area

Seeing Yuan Shan left, everyone lost their mood to eat, Dugu Ruolan said: "You guys are just torturing your husband like this, the princess's kindness is understandable, but you are really embarrassing your husband. "

"Sister Ruolan, it's all our fault." Yuwen Wanrou first admitted her mistake and spoke softly, even Ruolan was melted by her voice, and her heart softened all of a sudden.

"Okay, let Yunxi teach you how to cook from tomorrow, but what happened today can't happen again. Princess Tubo may not be good enough in language, so you need to help, but she really doesn't have the talent to cook. " Dugu Ruolan said, shook her head and left.

Seeing that Linglong wanted to eat the food on the table, Yuwen Wanrou immediately said, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"It's okay, just try it, wow~~~!"

After taking a bite, there was a feeling of petrification, and I spat it out, saying: "Sister, it's really not for people to eat, my husband is so wronged."
