When Sun Xiangfu said that the people in Wangjianglou were stunned, Li Shimin, who was inspecting various industries in distant Lingnan, was also stunned by Feng An's words, and he now realized that Ah Yue said at the beginning, 'As long as we have more ships running overseas, and no matter how much money we spend to build a city, we can also give it.'" The true meaning of '.

The things piled up in the warehouse of the Lingnan smelting workshop, even Li Shimin, the emperor, are a little greedy, here is simply a mountain of metal, gold, silver, copper and iron, all kinds of ores, if all smelted, the value will definitely exceed the financial and tax of Datang in a year.

"Feng Qing, in the land of Lingnan, is there so much mineral?"

Feng Ang first shook his head, and then nodded again, seeing Li Shimin looking at him in surprise, he had to explain from the beginning, "There are indeed many metal mines in Lingnan, but due to the deep mountains and forests, it is very laborious to mine, so Chen has never summoned people to mine them, and these ores are all transported from overseas. ”

The gold mines and rare earths in Lingnan are also quite famous in later generations, but the real development of these industries here is after the millennium, with the current situation in Lingnan, it is better to develop their own mines, it is better to go overseas to pull the open air to save trouble.

"Could it be that there are mountains of gold and silver everywhere overseas?"

"Well, Your Majesty, you can understand it that way! Perhaps, take a look at the big office of the shipyard with the minister, and you will understand. ”

Feng Ang felt that he had some things, just by talking about them, and he couldn't explain them clearly, and he had to let Li Shimin see them with his own eyes before he could understand that the things in those places overseas were actually a big surprise that he was going to give him a few months later, when Li Shimin held a grand court meeting to announce his merits, but now it seems that he may not be able to hide it, and he can't suddenly tell Li Shimin when the time comes, 'Because I continue to explore overseas, the actual jurisdiction of Lingnan Province is now much larger than the entire territory of Datang! ’

Soon, Li Shimin and many accompanying courtiers came to the large workshop of the shipyard with Feng An, and after looking at dozens of large ships built at the same time, Li Shimin knew that the scale of the shipyard in Lingnan was not smaller than that of Weinan, and the sailing ships they made were much simpler than the hydroships made in Weinan, so the speed of manufacturing was much faster, and hundreds of large ships of more than 10,000 stone could be built in a year.

In this period, Lingnan has unique advantages in shipbuilding, first of all, there is no shortage of shipbuilding wood here, and in the entire coastal area, there are many talents with shipbuilding foundation, at least they can soak wood, and not only Lingnan here, Feng Ang will be the entire Southeast Asian coast, contact shipbuilding, navigation talents, all have been collected to the shipyard in Guangzhou, the shipbuilding industry here can be underdeveloped.

In the big office behind the shipyard workshop, on the wall, there is a huge blank map, on which are scattered with a lot of slaps, or fists, or eggs, or soybean-sized dots, of course, there are whole graffiti, if Li Shimin is in Chang'an at this moment, he will find that this map, except for South America, North America, and the African continent and the North and South Poles, other regions are basically the same as the map that Sun Xiangfu is exhibiting in Wangjiang Tower, because the map in Sun Xiangfu's hand, It was copied to him by Feng An.

Then, Feng Ang also gave Li Shimin and several ministers who came with him a mouthful explanation, and also told Li Shimin about Sun Xiangfu's possible operation in Chang'an, and then Li Shimin and the ministers looked at the map on the wall blankly for more than an hour in this office.

It turned out that they had many large silver mines in their homeland, and Feng Ang only needed to give them some grain, sugar and other goods, and they would bring back a boatload of silver ore to the Lingnan fleet.

Gold Island, Silver Island, Copper Island, Spice Island, all overseas, as for the crystal ore island, it is to fool others, in Li Shimin's opinion, this thing is no longer valuable, and there is the Australian continent, the entire Oceania······

At this moment, he felt that the dynasties that fought for life and death in the past because of the living space were really stupid! Does it make sense to have so many good places that no one has developed, but they have filled their lives in territorial disputes?

All kinds of thoughts were pounding his mind, but in the end, it made him more eager than anyone else to know how big the world really was.

"Feng Qing, I want to go to Yazhou and Rinan County to have a look, can you arrange a boat?"

"Well, of course you can, but it's a little shabby over there, so you have to be prepared for some hardship."

"It's okay, I'm just, see."

When Li Shimin said the word 'look', his mood was very complicated, and similarly, Li Jing, Wei Chigong and other courtiers who followed him to look at the map were also in a complicated mood, they fought to the death to take a place in Goguryeo, and Feng Ang, just built ships in Lingnan with peace of mind, ran on the sea for three or four years, and circled a place larger than the entire Tang Dynasty territory for the imperial court.

Hainan Island, which has the land of three states, is only the size of an egg on this map, so how big are those scattered islands larger than Hainan Island in Luzon and even the road to Australia?

The reason why the Song Dynasty was economically developed, even because they did a good job in the overseas market, even if it was only the region south of the Yangtze River in the later period, the fiscal and tax revenues could also crown the world, and now, because Sun Xiangfu vigorously promoted the research of various industrial technologies, the Tang Dynasty's technological level in all aspects has not been lost to the Song Dynasty, and what is lacking is population and productivity.

This is also a headache for Sun Xiangfu at present, there is a shortage of people in various industries, and the lack of professional technicians is the lack of talents, such as after the exploration company is opened, all kinds of sailing crews and shipwrights need a large number of them, plus some overseas infrastructure personnel, at least hundreds of thousands of people are needed, these people cannot be recruited in the Datang market, what should I do?

New Oriental, Nanxiang.

Sun Xiangfu's mind appeared in due course the magic advertisements of some vocational and technical colleges in later generations, and this matter was also put on the agenda in his mind.

Of course, at the moment, we are still trying to get the IPO done, the funds are in place, and everything else is easy to say.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the equity funds are in place, in the first two or three years, we must continue to spend money, because, to build a fleet, train manpower, build a wharf, etc., the first thing to establish is the personnel organizational framework, from the chairman, to the manager, to all levels of management personnel will be established first, and the remuneration of these people, some technology and ordinary crews, workers' salaries, etc., etc., must be reviewed by the general meeting of shareholders, and finally decided, and please also invite the shareholders who have successfully purchased shares, actively participate and make suggestionsand finally brought the whole situation to a beating. ”

"So many redundant words, I won't say more, next, the subscription is about to begin, ten dollars per share, only cash deposits, everyone take the household registration book, at the counter next to the stage, pay the money, fill in the subscription information, receive the shareholder certificate, and then officially become the shareholder of our Datang Overseas Exploration and Investment Co., Ltd.

Friendly reminder to everyone, the subscription of the original shares, to this afternoon before dark, it will be closed, after that, if because of insufficient funds, the company needs to raise more gold, may be issued, but at that time, it is no longer ten money a share, will be based on the asset valuation of the entire company, to determine the price of additional shares, may be dozens of runs, may also be hundreds of shares, are not known, the opportunity to subscribe to the original shares, only once, just today. ”

As soon as Sun Xiangfu's words were finished, soon, the first shareholder certificate was born, with Sun Xiangfu's name written on it, the number of shares, one million shares, the first heir is Yu Xiuer, the second heir is his eldest son Sun Jing, and the third heir is Sun Wanting, the eldest daughter.

To buy one million shares, you need 10 million guan, this 10 million guan is the money of the happy village collective, Sun Xiangfu personally accounts for fifty percent of the happy village collective, which has been maintained since the birth of the happy village collective, so, in fact, only half of the income of this million shares belongs to the Sun family, he is just a representative of the village collective, in later generations, can be called a legal representative.

For this tens of millions of yuan, everyone's psychology has long been expected, but I don't feel too surprised, and then, all kinds of large amounts of money have exploded one after another, which is a little scary.

The eldest grandson Wuji bought 200,000 shares and contributed 2 million yuan.

Taiyuan Wang, the head of the family, Wang Rui, purchased 500,000 yuan and invested 5 million yuan.

Longxi Li's, Zhaojun Li's and so on five surnames and seven families, there is no less than 300,000 shares, it is worth mentioning that in the Guanlong family group, Hongnong Yang also invested 3 million guan and purchased 300,000 shares, Jingzhao Wei's invested 5 million guan and purchased 500,000 shares.

Then there are some powerful groups in Beijing, such as Sun Xiangfu's group of old interest group members, who basically invested more than 1 million yuan, and took out all the surplus money that their families have earned in the past few years, until dusk, the total funds raised by the big families exceeded 50 million yuan, and then they began to accept the purchase of those small shareholders of 350,000 yuan piecemeal.

Fortunately, Sun Xiangfu was selling at the same time, and at the same time, he was opening additional counters, and in the end, more than a dozen counters were sold at the same time, so that all the people present bought the original shares as they wished before dark.

More than 66 million?

Based on Sun Xiangfu's preliminary estimate of the liquidity in the Datang market according to taxes, this is almost one-fifth of the liquidity of all Datang banks.

Of course, some money that is hidden by the big families and small people in various places and does not circulate much cannot be counted. After all, storing money is the habit of most people in this period, and the previous dynasties have been minting money, and no one can calculate how many copper coins there are in the whole people.

After the shares are subscribed, it does not mean that today's business activities are over, in the evening, there will be a buffet and celebration performances to entertain all shareholders, and there are some things, Sun Xiangfu also wants to talk to you, that is, overseas exploration company, the first general meeting of shareholders, three days later will be held in Wangjiang Tower, however, at that time, only shareholders will be allowed to participate, at the general meeting of shareholders, a series of personnel appointments will be considered, and all the frameworks, as well as the order of development, one by one, will be finally determined, The formation of a system, in the end, there are some things to be considered, and Sun Xiangfu wants to say hello to various shareholders.

This shareholders' meeting may be held for several days in a row, and it is presided over by Sun Xiangfu, the largest shareholder in addition to the imperial court, which makes Sun Xiangfu a little worried about the venue of this meeting.

Wangjiang Tower, which was built five years ago, has become more and more unable to meet the various business needs of the present, because there is no venue suitable for holding various meetings here, once there is any commercial activity to be carried out, Wangjiang Tower has to be forced to stop business, which is more affecting the normal operation of the restaurant.

In later generations, the general star hotel, but there are a variety of different sizes of conference halls equipped, which made Sun Xiangfu rebuild the Wangjiang Tower, Li Shimin in the Furong Garden to Wangjiang Tower approved a hundred acres of land, but, in fact, Wangjiang Tower only used about half, now, can use higher and new technology, to establish a larger-scale, set conference, performance, catering, accommodation as one of the more comprehensive hotel.

"Xiaotai, what do you think of our Datang investment exploration company?"

After getting off the stage, Sun Xiangfu patted Li Tai's shoulder, who was looking around.

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiangfu slapped like this, Li Tai's body shook, and an oily thing slipped off him, Sun Xiangfu looked at it, and it turned out to be a chicken leg that had been bitten off.

"Uh, this, Master Sun, if I say, this chicken leg is not mine, and I haven't eaten chicken legs, do you believe it?" The embarrassed Li Tai explained depressedly. His eyes were looking around just now, just to find a place to take the opportunity to eat this chicken leg, but it's a pity.

"Hey, I originally planned to have dinner with you in Wangjiang Tower and then go back, but now it seems that there is no need. The two chamberlains, it's not early, please send King Pu back to the palace! After Sun Xiangfu saw the chicken legs, no matter how Li Tai explained, it was useless.

"Don't, don't! There is no curfew in Chang'an now, and the palace gate will not be locked so early, so I will go back after I have time. ”

When he went back, he didn't eat, and the dinner Sun Xiangfu set for him didn't eat anything.

Hearing this, the two chamberlains stretched out their hands one to the left and one to the right, in line with the principle of being responsible for Li Tai's body, "His Royal Highness King Pu, please go back to the palace!" ”

Li Tai, who had a bitter face, had no choice but to turn around and go back to the palace under their guidance, these two interior officials were strictly ordered by Empress Changsun, and when necessary, they dared to use force against Li Tai.

Moreover, after the attack, they will also report to Empress Changsun, and at that time, Li Tai will also face punishment from Empress Changsun, just look at how strict Empress Changsun was with Li Chengqian before.
