Chapter 193 People are stupid and rich in money Wang Zixin

The next day, Wang Xiang expressed his admiration and love for Li Er in the Tai Chi Hall with the document specially prepared by Li Er, and expressed his willingness to dedicate Tangquan Palace.

Although everyone can see that there must be tricks in it, but the courtiers voluntarily offered Tangquan Palace and others can't say anything more. They all kept silent with dark faces, and Li Er felt a sense of accomplishment.

After submitting the letter, Wang Xiang got the full assistance of the Ministry of Industry and started building large-scale construction projects in Lishan. Originally, he only planned to find a small place to build a hot spring house for himself, but now he changed his mind. The hot spring house is several times larger than the original plan... …

The money is spent by myself, of course I can't wrong myself.

As for Tangquan Palace, Wang Xiang is only responsible for paying the money. The planning and construction are all the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. Tangquan Palace's plan was only worried about being said to be greedy for enjoyment, which was a waste of people and money, so it has not started construction. This time, it is not polite to catch Wang Xiang, who has been taken advantage of.

Wang Xiang's heart bleeds when he saw the golden nanmu, which was more expensive than gold, being brought in by carloads. The golden nanmu is exclusively for the royal family. If the common people use it without authorization, it is an overstep and they will be punished. These golden nanmu are all For the construction of Tangquan Palace, Wang Xiang's own hot spring house is not eligible to use.

It was Lu Defu, who was in charge of the supply of golden nanmu for Tangquan Palace, who was desperate to raise money last time. The [-] strings he borrowed from the bank helped him through the difficulties. Now he has not only paid off the money borrowed from the bank, but also accumulated a He has a lot of family money and recently bought a new house in Chang'an. He has always kept Wang Xiang's help in mind.

Hearing that it was Wang Xiang who built the Tangquan Palace this time as a tribute to His Majesty Lu Defu, he personally delivered the golden nanmu, and said that this transaction did not make any money.

Of course, Wang Xiang would not let Lu Defu go for nothing, as much as he wanted, although it was very heartbreaking to spend so much money all at once, but he couldn't let others suffer, the culprit was Li Er.Besides, the money is not a loss if you spend it, no matter how much you spend, it will only be spent once, and the extra [-]% of the bank's income is earned every year. After careful calculation, it is actually earned by yourself. The second actually agreed to give up [-]% of the bank's profits.

"Hou Ye built the Tangquan Palace as a tribute to His Majesty..."

"Stupid, aren't you?"

"No, no." Although he did have such a meaning in his heart, Lu Defu said with admiration: "This move by Lord Hou is an act of loyalty to the emperor and love for the people, which is really admirable."

The construction of Tangquan Palace cannot be described as spending a lot of money, and it is not enough to describe one or two. The cost of these golden nanmu brought in is tens of thousands of guan, and the cost of other places is even more expensive.

Wang Xiang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these useless things. You are in the wood business. I would like to ask what kind of wood is more suitable for building hot spring houses besides golden nanmu?"

Lu Defu asked suspiciously: "Master Hou is not going to use these golden nanmu to build Tangquan Palace?"

He also thought that Wang Xiang wanted to cut corners for the Tangquan Palace because he felt sorry for the money, and he was sweating. How could the Tangquan Palace dedicated to His Majesty be a joke? What can be done."

"That's right, I also got a place in Lishan and planned to build a Tangquan house." Wang Xiang looked smug.

Lu Defu was surprised when he heard the words: "Master Hou is going to build a Tangquan house in Lishan?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Seeing Wang Xiang taking it for granted, Lu Defu didn't know what to say, Lishan has been the land of emperors since ancient times, and he has never heard of anyone who can build a house in Lishan, even the prince does not have such treatment.

"No, no problem, I wonder what kind of wood the Marquis wants?"

"Aren't I asking you, you are in the wood business, we can't use golden nanmu, is there any wood that is worse than golden nanmu?"

Lu Defu thought for a while and said: "I heard that there is a kind of fragrant nanmu in the north. The wood is slightly purple and has a fragrance. It should be a good idea to build Tangquan House."

Fragrant nanmu, and its fragrance, sounded pretty good, Wang Xiang asked, "Do you have fragrant nanmu?"

Lu Defu shook his head and said: "Scented nanmu is produced in the north, the price is no less expensive than golden nanmu, and it is not easy to transport, so..."

Seeing Wang Xiang frowned, Lu Defu changed his tone and said: "But I have a friend who is engaged in timber business in the north. If the Lord Hou wants fragrant nanmu, I can tell him. It's just that it takes a lot of time to transport fragrant nanmu from the north." A lot of time."

The wood is heavy, and it is very difficult to transport it by horses and horses. The wood from Yangzhou can be easily transported to Chang'an because of the canal.

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "It's okay, and I'm not in a hurry."

Naturally, the house will not be built entirely of fragrant nanmu, mainly bricks and stones, but fragrant nanmu is used in the wing rooms and other places, and the floor of the hot spring pool is also covered with fragrant nanmu.

Lishan began to build large-scale construction projects. Li Zhi and Xiao Luoli were very concerned about the Tangquan Palace and the hot spring house and went there every day. Naturally, Wang Xiang was not interested in supervising the construction there. Li Chunfeng sent someone to send news that the first batch of wool was all processed. All right.

Compared with the original wool, the processed wool is completely different. It is white and soft, fluffy and soft to the touch, and has no smell at all. Moreover, the scented wool exudes a faint fragrance, which is better than those of the later generations who processed crudely in batches. The wool is even better.

The successful processing of the first batch of wool means that the factory can officially start.

Wang Xiang's wages are very high, and he quickly recruited a group of people, most of whom are middle-aged women from ordinary families. They usually do some sewing work to earn a small amount of money to subsidize their families, usually only a few dozen coins a month at most. An income of two hundred cash and a salary of three times a month is definitely a lot for them, and the man in the family may not be able to earn so much money in a month.

Knowing that the factory was newly run by Prince Jiayuan, everyone felt more at ease. Who didn't know that Prince Xin was famous for being a fool with a lot of money. He just said that he would build Tangquan Palace in Lishan to dedicate to His Majesty. What is the wages of money.

The factory started to process batches of wool and shipped it to the warehouse continuously. At the same time, under the guidance of Wang Xiang, Datang's first woolen sweater was born.

It is as white as snow, warm and supple, and has a faint fragrance. If you hadn't watched the woolen sweater being completed step by step with your own eyes, who would have believed that this seemingly flawless dress was made of those yellow and smelly wool.

This is another feat by Gewuyuan!
