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

Chapter 107 You still understand this aspect!
After Tang Jian returned home, before he recovered from the shock, he heard the servant report.

"Ah Lang, we have a visitor."

"Who?"

"Li Mu, a man from Jingyang County."

"Li Mu?"

He still knew more or less about Li Mu's background, and there were many big shots standing behind him.

Not an easy young man.

And it is said that the Taihuang's private swimming pool came from him.

Although Old Tang didn't quite agree with Li Mu's creation of these frustrating things.

But at the same time, he had to admire his ability, at least Old Tang ate the ice cream very well.

Really fragrant!

"Please come in!"

Old Tang still ordered Li Mu to be politely invited in.

After Li Mu entered, he greeted him very politely.

"Mu has seen Duke Tang!"

"Li Jingyang is exempt from the courtesy, please take a seat."

"Please, Mr. Tang."

Then the two began to enter the rivers and lakes blowing each other mode.

After playing for about 15 minutes, Li Mu began to get down to business.

I saw him take out a delicate wooden box.

The box is made of sandalwood, with fine carvings and red color, one can tell at a glance that this box must be of great value.

"Mr. Tang, a small gift is not a respect!"

Tang Jian frowned when he saw the box.

Regardless of whether the contents inside are expensive or not, the box alone is worth enough.

What kind of thing is it equipped with such an expensive sandalwood box?

Old Tang immediately expressed his interest.

"What does Li Jingyang mean by this?"

"A gift, for Mr. Tang."

"give me?"

Old Tang originally wanted to refuse, after all, this matter looked like bribery.

But out of curiosity about the contents inside, he took the box by accident.

"What is it?"

"Mr. Tang will know if you open it and have a look!" Li Mu said with a smile.

Tang Jian glanced at Li Mu, then opened the box, and his expression changed immediately.

"This... what kind of treasure is this? It's so radiant, it's simply too beautiful!"

There were eight small and exquisite cups in the box, in different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, plus a pure white cup.

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!"
