I'm about to become an immortal, do you want me to be a prince?

Not only is the shape exquisite and unique, but the color is pure and flawless.

"It's good that Mr. Tang likes it. This thing is called Bazhen Cup. If Mr. Tang likes it, you might as well keep it and play with it slowly. It's very interesting!"

No matter what Tang Jian said, he is also a person of status and status, and his family has been prominent for generations. From the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the present, he has never seen any kind of treasure.

but!

He has never seen such a treasure before!

It's not that he has never seen porcelain from the official kiln of the Tang Dynasty, but compared with this radiant Bazhen cup, it's just rubbish!

Tang Jian held one of the small pure white cups and carefully admired them.

"Excellent! Did you make this?"

"As you can see!"

In fact, this thing is the kind of teacup that Li Mu introduced to Li Shimin at the manor in Jingyang County.

It's just that it's mass-produced now, and there are more varieties, not limited to teacups, but also pots, dishes, and plates.

The more Tang Jian looked at it, the more he liked it. He took one after another and appreciated it carefully. No matter how he looked at it, he thought it was beautiful.

And not only do I think it looks good, but I also think this thing is very valuable.

As a person who can sit on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Tang Jian's business vision will be poor? It must not be bad!

People in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are not only good at collecting taxes and settling accounts, they also have to be able to manage money, otherwise how can taxation alone satisfy the Great Tang Empire's southern and northern wars.

Therefore, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who does not know how to manage money is not a good minister.

It is obvious that Tang Jian is definitely not a mediocre person. There are so many famous ministers in Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, why can the photo of Old Tang occupy a wall in Lingyan Pavilion?

Of course it is based on ability! Could it be based on luck!

Therefore, Tang Jian could tell at a glance that this thing was profitable, and it was the kind that made a lot of money.

"How many of these treasures can you produce?"

"As much as you want."

Tang Jian shivered, and dropped the cup in his hand.

Fortunately, Li Mu had practiced before, so he took advantage of the situation and caught the cup firmly.

Otherwise, this whole set of cups would not be perfect.

"Fortunately, there is Li Jingyang! Fortunately, there is Li Jingyang."

Tang Jian took the cup carefully and kept chanting.

"Mr. Tang has taken it." Li Mu smiled and handed him the cup.

After Tang Jian finished appreciating the Bazhen cup in his hand with satisfaction, he raised his head and asked.

"Li Jingyang specially gave the old man such a precious thing today, I guess he wanted something!"

Li Mu said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, if you sell this item to the countries in the Western Regions, how much profit will you get?"

"Not inferior to silk."

Li Mu nodded, secretly thinking that he is indeed in charge of money, and he has a good eye.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?" Tang Jian continued to ask.

"I want to build a road, a concrete road leading directly to the Western Regions."

"Building roads? Could it be that you were the one who advocated the emperor's suggestion of building roads?"

"Exactly."

"Then Li Jingyang knows that the cost of road construction is huge, and the national treasury may not be able to support it!"

"Mr. Tang, the layout is small. This is called investment. To make money, build roads first. This is the basic practice."

"..."

Then Li Mu pointed to the Bazhen cup in his hand, asking him to think about it.

Tang Jian had been instructed by Li Yuan before, of course he knew that the money for road construction could be paid back by subsequent exports.

But, that's a later thing. It's true that these things can make money and restore blood, but it's not like they can restore blood immediately!

The money in the national treasury is spent at once. If there is no money for a long time, the consequences will be very dangerous, okay?

He didn't dare to complain about Li Yuan, but Li Mu didn't have any scruples, and pointed out the problem directly.

So the question was raised.

When Li Mu heard it, hey!This is also a thing.

"Duke Tang, just listen to me."

"What's Li Jingyang's opinion?"

"Have Mr. Tang heard of attracting investment?"

Old Tang was stunned, the old man had never heard of it.

"Also ask Li Jingyang to teach me."

"It is to cooperate with private companies, let them pay the money together, and then after the road is built, give them certain conveniences, such as free roads or something."

When Old Tang heard it, hey, I'll go, it's okay, oh shit, this method is absolutely impossible.

After the road is repaired, the transportation of goods will definitely become much more convenient, and these merchants will definitely be interested.

Anyway, the merchants are going on the road, so that everyone can benefit from it.

But then Old Tang thought, what if someone is unwilling?Is it still possible to force them not to go on the road?This is against public opinion!

So Old Tang asked with a worried face, "Then what if some businesses are unwilling to pay? We can't stop them from going on the road, right?"

Li Mu smiled slightly after hearing this, "Come on, why don't you let me go, just collect the money, set up toll booths, charge for passing the road, and keep flowing, if you are still short of money, you can set up a yearly subscription or something, so that the money comes in faster."

What the hell!

Tang Jian suddenly felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

What the hell is it like building bridges and paving roads?

Can't help but give a thumbs up and praise.

"Li Jingyang, you still understand this aspect!"

Chapter 108 This world is still the world of young people after all!

Cai Guogong mansion.

Du Ruhui, who has recuperated for more than two years, can now get out of bed and move around freely.

Just stay at home all the time.

To put it bluntly, he was laid off.

After being laid off, Cai Guogong's mansion was once deserted.

I think back when Old Du was still the prime minister, the one in the gate was called Ruoshi!

It's a pity that people are leaving the tea to cool down now.

For a time, Lao Du was very disappointed and emotional.

Damn, isn't the old man stepping down from the position of Zaifu?As for being so realistic?

Therefore, he felt that even if the old man could not recover, he should at least find a way out for future generations.

So, one day, he brought his eldest son Du Gou to visit Li Mu's house.

"Li Jingyang, don't come here without any problems, I'm being polite!" Du Ruhui saluted with a smile.

Then he pointed to Du Gou next to him, "This is Du Gou, the dog."

This kid Du Gou was quite sensible, so he hurriedly saluted, "My nephew has met Duke Jingyang!"

Li Mu, who was busy drawing drawings at this moment, twitched the corner of his mouth and almost broke the pencil in his hand.

Why are you called uncle by a buddy who is about your age, can you calm down?

Obviously, Li Mu couldn't calm down.

Quickly helped Du Gou up, "Don't, don't, buddy, let's still be friends of the same generation!"

This time it was Du Gou's turn to twitch the corner of his mouth, he turned his head and glanced at his father Du Ruhui, meaning, Dad, what do you think?

Du Ruhui knew Li Mu quite well, and knew his temper, so he waved his hand and asked Du Gou to stand aside.

Then he continued to laugh and chat with Li Mu, "What is Li Jingyang doing?"

Li Mu pointed to the road design blueprints on the table, "Drawing the blueprints!"

"Draw the blueprint?"

"Ang, it's about building roads!"

"Oh."

Du Ruhui had a sloppy expression on his face. Although Lao Du was laid off, he was still well informed. He still knew a little about what happened in the court.

He has also heard about road construction. As the former prime minister of the empire, his vision is naturally not bad, and of course he can see the benefits in it.

So, today he came here with the cheek to get a share of the pie.

Many people think that road construction is just for public welfare, but some people can analyze the benefit chain from it.

Obviously, Du Ruhui is this kind of person.

So, he came here today.

"Li Jingyang! I came here today, one is to thank you, and the other is to find a career for my son. Please also invite Li Jingyang..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Mu stopped him, "Old Du, don't talk politely, we are old friends, I understand what you mean, don't worry, Brother Du's business is on my shoulders."

"I don't know what arrangements Li Jingyang has?"

"Denglai Navy."

When Lao Du heard this, his brows frowned immediately. It's so far away from Denglai, what lure can there be?

If he is still the prime minister, it would be a good choice to let his son go paddling in remote areas, get some seniority, and come back so he can be promoted.

If you are lucky, playing a few water bandits is also a golden opportunity.

But the key is that now that I have been laid off, it is better to find a lucrative position.

"Li Jingyang..."

"Old Du, listen to me, that's right, Denglai's land will be of great benefit in the future, don't worry, I won't cheat you."

Du Ruhui pondered for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "What Li Jingyang meant was about shipping?"

Li Mu smiled and nodded, "Old Du, it's not just the benefits of shipping, maybe there will be a big contribution to receive at that time."

"What credit?"

"A land overseas!"

hiss……

Du Ruhui suddenly took a deep breath.

Why is this the rhythm of conquests overseas!

If this rhythm is played well, it is also a merit of opening up the frontier and expanding the territory!

Therefore, after Du Ruhui listened to Li Mu, he thanked Li Mu a thousand times, and insisted on pressing his son's head, so he almost kowtowed to Li Mu directly.

Li Mu was almost scared to death, he couldn't stand Du Gou's gift.

He hurried over to help Lao Du's son up.

Then he changed the subject and chatted with Lao Du about his official career.

"Old Du, do you want to go back and continue working as a civil servant?"

"Civil servant?"
