Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 603 The industry of Xingfu Village also needs to expand

The next day, Li Chengqian, who came to the harem to meet Empress Changsun, was treated like a hero, and was thanked by all his sisters. Empress Changsun talked to him for more than an hour with a smile, and then mentioned An important matter, that is, his concubine. Next year, he has two younger sisters who are going to get married. Li Lizhi, who is only 13 years old, will marry Changsun Chong, and Li Mengjiang, who is only 11 years old, will marry him. Marry Sun Deshou.

Of course, they were talking about getting married in the second half of next year. In fact, the procedures will be completed in the year after next. At that time, Li Lizhi is not yet fifteen years old, and Li Mengjiang is only thirteen years old.

Therefore, as the eldest brother, he must accept a concubine. He is 15 years old, and he will be 16 years old soon. .

"My queen, my son is willing to accept Nashuya as the crown princess. However, I also ask my mother to approve Queen Yao of the Wang family to enter the East Palace. My son, I have other arrangements. In addition..." Li Chengqian said, but He hesitated not knowing how to speak.

"Wang Yao is also from a famous family, and she is qualified to be a side concubine. What else?" Empress Changsun asked more happily when she heard that Li Chengqian had no opinion on accepting the concubine.

"No, as long as she is accepted into the East Palace, it is fine. There is no need to give her the title of side concubine. She is accepted entirely out of other considerations. Besides, next year, my cousin may not be able to marry Lizhi."

"Why?" Empress Changsun asked in a daze.

The marriage between Changsun Chong and Li Lizhi, but she had discussed it with Changsun Wuji a long time ago, and Li Shimin's imperial decree has also been issued. It will be a matter of time before the two families get married. Besides, so far, Changsun Chong himself Side, did not express any opinion!

"Well, it's like this, Master Sun said, when your cousin gets married, the child born is very likely... Also, Lizhi may have inherited your heart disease, so it is not appropriate to marry prematurely, so... ···”

"Sun Zhengming said all this? Does your cousin believe it?" Empress Changsun, who had been in a happy mood all day, suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and almost scolded Sun Xiangfu through gnashing of teeth.

It is Li Shimin's and her long-cherished wish to marry a cousin to a cousin, which is very popular among the people of this era. In her opinion, Sun Xiangfu is looking for an unfounded reason to interfere with the royal marriage. How could she not be angry.

"These have been verified by Shanyang Medical College. Cousin marriage, especially first cousin marriage, offspring are likely to be mentally retarded. Even if they give birth to normal children, they are generally not very smart and easy to get sick. What's more, Li Zhi Like you, I suffer from heart palpitations and shortness of breath. The earlier you get married, the easier it is to aggravate the condition and lead to a short life. Although my cousin loves beauty, after knowing this situation, he also decided to let it go. This time he went to Anxi As the head secretary of the Dadu Protectorate, it is estimated that he will not come back in three or two years."

"Really?" Empress Changsun still looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief and asked.

Li Chengqian nodded again to confirm.

Empress Changsun suddenly felt stuffy in her chest, and sighed, "Hey, this Chonger, who was in Dingxiang before, why didn't you tell me clearly..."

After the original good mood was spoiled, Empress Changsun was not in the mood to chat with Li Chengqian anymore. When the shortness of breath broke out, Li Shimin hurried over to visit her. I told Li Shimin about these things, and then, what was originally an annoyance for one person became an annoyance for two people. When what I insisted on was a bad habit, the feeling of guilt towards the person concerned , It can make them hungry for a whole day, and they don’t want to eat or drink. However, if there is a problem, it must be corrected.

Li Chengqian's marriage, however, had already been prepared in the court. After all, the concubine's concubine is considered a state affair. Li Shimin ordered the clan's mansion to start handling it early the next morning. When Wang Xu and his gang came from Jiuyuan County When we arrived in Chang'an, the news of the Prince's New Deal and the Prince's acceptance of concubines was all over the city.

"Patriarch, Your Majesty has a decree. Miss will enter the East Palace with the Hou's daughter. If she comes out, she will be named a side concubine." Wang Anzai, who is in charge of the affairs of the Wang family, received Wang Xu's place and reported to him as soon as possible.

"Is there something she can do to become a side concubine?"

Wang Xu's brows frowned, but after a while, they relaxed. Anyway, his Wang family can be considered to have placed someone in the harem of the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty. If he can't run away, if he can give birth to a boy for Li Chengqian, he may not be able to aspire to the ninth five with the support of their Wang family.

"Hou's daughter is after all the representative of the general family. However, as long as the dowry gift from our Wang family is enough to establish the status of the young lady, even if the prince accepts other concubines in the future, he will be ranked behind the young lady."

Wang Xu nodded and said, "Well, you are so good to make preparations. When the palace comes to pick you up, the scene will be more beautiful."

Wang An smiled and said, "Naturally, the Patriarch is here in Guanzhong, but what's the matter?"

"Let's settle the money of our family in Guanzhong, collect it all, and follow me to Weinan."

"All?"

"Yes, use as much as you can."

"That might count."

"Then it can be used within two days."

"If it's just two days, then it's about collecting cash from several big industries, about 1000 million yuan."

"It's a little less, plus I have 500 million bank deposits on hand, and I need to make up at least 3000 million."

"I'm going to start contacting everyone."

"No, all the old families with my Wang family are involved in this operation. You directly sell some unnecessary properties, or take the gold and silver utensils stored in the warehouse in Chang'an to the coin factory. Exchange for new money, don't leak the news to others."

"The owner wants this?"

"You shouldn't know, don't ask."

Even with the size of the Wang family, in fact, the property of the entire family is only 6000 to 3000 million guan, and 100 million guan in cash is almost their limit. However, there are many vassal families behind him. Wanguan, that 4000 million guan, can also make up 7000 to [-] million guan, and [-] million guan, which is enough to buy out all the output of several major building materials factories in Weinan for a year. At that time, they are not afraid of the pot of meat in Jiangling. arrive.

Two days later, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, all major factories in Weinan were on holiday. The two brothers Ma Lin, Zhang Quan, and Wang Fu and Wang Gui did not go home to eat Laba porridge like most workers did, because they The long-awaited guest is finally coming.

"Tell me, how much will Mrs. Wang spend this time to purchase the goods from our major factories?" In just a few years, Marin and the others are no longer the little blacksmiths in Xingfu Village who couldn't find enough blacksmiths. The business in his hands does not need to be negotiated with him in person if it is less than one hundred thousand guan. To deal with the imperial court and obtain the approval for the purchase, the imperial court must be clear about the whereabouts of such a large amount of ironware, and Marin now has the official title of a fifth-rank industrial doctor.

"According to what the head said, we should buy according to our annual output, which is at least 6000 million yuan. However, after we raise the price, we need at least 7000 million yuan to get it. With this money, Not only can we give the workers another round of salary increases, but we can also realize the branch expansion plan that the head said. The entire southern market is much larger than Guanzhong. We can save a lot of labor costs by directly building factories there. And transportation costs, directly buy the raw materials from the place of origin, and the cost of the goods will be cheaper in the future."

"That's right! With the head behind us to help us make suggestions, we can use their capital to realize our external expansion plan without us having to work hard..."

If Wang Xu heard these conversations between the few people, he would probably vomit three liters of blood, because Wang Xu, who raised money to monopolize all construction materials, has fallen into Sun Xiangfu's trap, and they are not the only ones who are thinking of sending money to all parts of the country. Expansion, the industry of Xingfu Village can also be expanded to all parts of the country. The Shannan Road area, which is rich in river sand for firing colored glaze, must not go to the Liuli Factory in Guanzhong to buy colored glaze!
It would be better to find a suitable place to open a factory directly on the side of Shannan Road. Don't have enough funds?No, Wang Xu sent it here. With these tens of millions, these industries under the name of happiness can be found in various raw material production areas in the Shannan Road area, and the whole package can be bought. As long as you choose a place where transportation is more convenient If branch factories are opened locally, the overall output will be greatly enlarged, and the cost will be reduced by more than half. Anyway, each factory now has enough workers and technicians, who can be dispatched to various regions to open branch factories.

Therefore, this round, it seems that the Wang family who purchased the building materials first will benefit. In fact, the biggest winner is the imperial court and the Xingfu Village collective.

The business talks between Wang Xu, Ma Lin, Zhang Quan and others went smoothly. He didn't mind at all that they raised the price of the building materials he wanted to purchase by about [-]%. In addition to the materials already supplied for construction projects, all newly produced materials from these building material factories must be supplied to them first. A big industry like Xiangxiang, which brings them huge profits all the time, is considered a success.

A few days after they signed the contract, Li Shimin promulgated the New Year's New Deal plan. The first thing he talked about was the tax exemption policy. As soon as the news of the realization of the agricultural tax exemption policy within five years was released, the entire Tang Dynasty was immersed. In the ocean of joy.

Then there is the Coin Law. There are stricter management regulations on bank lending, from the submission of applications, to the materials that need to be prepared, and the obligations to be complied with. Once a loan contract is signed, it is directly illegal to violate the agreement. Unlike private lending, where debts are not repaid, you can talk nonsense. Once the bank submits a lawsuit, the person who violates the agreement will be enforced by the court to repay the loan. Among them, there is an auction to sell the fixed assets of the collateral loan , to liquidate all these items of personal property of the debtor.

In these provisions, it is also specified for the first time that even the imperial court cannot borrow arbitrarily. Regarding the use of bank deposits, the imperial court needs to borrow money, just like private lending. It needs to have sufficient profit expectations, or a certain value. The mortgage, because the bank must ensure the safety of the property of all the people who save money.

As soon as this regulation came out, the common people had more trust in the safety of the bank. Suddenly, more common people saved money, and the loanable balance of the bank also increased significantly.

After that, the imperial court announced the recruitment plan for some public construction projects in Jiangling City, Jingzhou. These imperial court projects will be the same as ordinary people hiring craftsmen to repair their houses. The center is based on national security considerations. It can only be eaten by the emperor's personal order and the approval of the political affairs hall. Local officials will no longer have the power to expropriate the people at will. For hiring, if you think the salary is high enough and you are willing to do it, you can come. If you think the salary is low and you don’t want to do it, you can ignore it.

For privately invested projects, the imperial court has also given some policy support. Starting from the new year, Jiangling City will implement a two-year tax exemption period. That is to say, the faster your project is built and opened in Jiangling City , the longer the tax-free period you can enjoy, this is to stimulate everyone to rush to Jiangling City to invest in construction projects. Of course, when they really rush over, they will know that Changsun Wuji has already arranged a series of The routine is waiting for them, the imperial court will not let anyone eat meat for nothing.
