East Palace.

"Keming, what do you think of this?" Li Shimin asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is feasible." Du Ruhui said.

"Tell me about it." Li Shimin said.

"From the cotton harvest to sales, the number of carriages in Chang'an has more than tripled, businessmen come and go between Chang'an and Chengdu, accelerating the circulation of goods in the two places, Chengdu's tax revenue increased by two percent last year, and it may increase this year, according to the minister, an ordinary horse in Chang'an horse market has been sold to thirty-five yuan, the number has been unable to meet the demand, if it can really buy a large number of horses from the Turks, it can make the development of rapid improvement." Du Ruhui said.

"And the merchant has money, which can fill the treasury." Du Ruhui said.

Now the cotton business is booming, Li Shimin is very concerned about the people's clothing and eating, this cotton cloth is of good quality and cheap, and the imperial court has ordered 100,000 cotton cloths It does not cost much.

If the transportation capacity is increased, then more people will have access to cheap cotton cloth, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, let's send a Beiya forbidden army to this matter." ”

Du Ruhui understood, it was His Majesty's private army that was mobilized, and it seemed that this matter could not be publicized, and this needed to be arranged.

Du Ruhui told Yuan Shan about the matter the next day after returning from the East Palace, and then Yuan Shan began to act, and selected fifty family members to this Yanbei, all of whom converged at the temporary bridge outside Chang'an City, and the merchant team gathered no less than thirty merchants, several of whom were horse sellers, all of whom were introduced through Yangshan, and several people from the management of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce went over together, and the Chamber of Commerce is expected to purchase three hundred horses, plus the original two hundred carriages, just to make up the capacity of five hundred.

And the family behind the shareholders, they will also buy a large number of horses, the purpose is very simple, the same is to form a horse fleet, so that the money earned is their family's, take this opportunity to help the Chamber of Commerce grow some momentum, after all, it takes a lot of money to dispatch the Beiya Forbidden Army.

Yuanshan's purpose is not to waste what can be used, anyway, if this person joins Yuanshan's escort team, the money will be evenly shared, mainly to save money, but I didn't expect that the merchant team would get together with no less than 300 people, and there are still a lot of people in this group, is this to buy horses, it looks more like grabbing horses.

With hundreds of carts, full of grain, and the only way to buy horses is this, the long convoy is still spectacular......

"Ma'am, now there's a place to put money." Yuan Shan said to Du Ruruolan in the empty basement.

"Husband, is all this money really used to buy horses?" Dugu Ruolan said.

"Of course it's true." Yuan Shan said affirmatively.

"However, this month's employee money has not been paid yet." Dugu Ruolan said.

"......" Yuan Shan was speechless.

"Ahem, this is because my husband has not thought about it well, has you had any money coming in recently?" Wonsun asked.

"The matches in the Peace Square will be sent every time they accumulate to 100 yuan, but it may not be enough, the family and Yahuan of the manor, as well as the wages for the construction of the business district, are not a few, and the candle money for next month is not enough." Dugu Ruolan said.

"Do you need that much money?" Yuan Shan asked suspiciously.

"There are 1,600 workers in the business district, not to mention eating and eating meat every three meals, the wages are not much, but the meat and food consumed together are very expensive." Dugu Ruolan said.

Dugu Ruolan was obviously a little anxious, and Du Qianyu on the side came over to help Dugu Ruolan and said, "Sister Ruolan calm down, my husband will have a way." ”

This can't blame Dugu Ruolan for saying that the problem of food consumption, because these helpers are not the current people from Wulizhuang and Silizhuang, and the people who are hired are all people who can eat a full meal a day, which is similar to the situation of the Wulizhuang households at the beginning.

Those people don't have a little oil and water in their stomachs, and they consume a lot of food, especially this kind of food management work, which is completely the trend of eating poor employers, and although meat has long been experienced to limit the amount of food, the consumption of food in the early stage cannot be reduced at all.

This leads to a large amount of investment in the early stage, and it will be better after adapting to it for a while, but it is only a few days after the beginning, and it is the time when you need money and food.

"Impulsive, don't worry, it's a big deal to sell a few cups." Yuan Shan muttered.

Yuan Shan thought that he was very rich now, but in the blink of an eye, there was a financial crisis, and the reason for this was simply due to negligence.

The heart said that the rich are not for nothing, they are really rich and noble, and the life of the dick.

"Husband, what are you thinking, so obsessed." Dugu Ruolan said.

"I was thinking that the basement should be a little bigger." Yuan Shan replied.

"Hehe, did you forget, young master, there are also black chicken balls." Lotus Ye was smiling on the side.

"Yes, there are also black chicken balls, but this will not be settled until after the sale, and there will always be a way." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan now finally knows why the richer he is, the easier it is to go bankrupt, and it seems that the way to open the dick is not right in terms of business.

took out the abacus and made a simple calculation, 100 family members, 40 Yahuan, 80 craftsmen, 50 female workers, and 1,600 helpers who built commercial office buildings.

Don't look at the few craftsmen, but they still account for a large proportion of expenditure, directly top the wages of 800 ordinary helpers, in the Yuan family work is all food and accommodation, now the rent of the cotton mill and office building is paid annually, this year's rent is paid out, can only take next year's.

Besides, there is not much money in this part, even if there is a difference in architectural style, but the rent is not expensive, and you can only wait for next year if you want this part of the money, or you can use the office building to cash out or join the holding share, but then the office building of the textile city will become the fixed assets of the cotton chamber of commerce, and he will suffer in the end.

Because in the Chamber of Commerce, the dividends of the Chamber of Commerce held by him are only 10% of the sales of cotton cloth and textiles, and the raw material cotton does not belong to the Cotton Chamber of Commerce, but to the shareholders of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce.

To put it bluntly, the Cotton Chamber of Commerce is a community of interests, and the money that Yuanshan can get is only one percent of the cotton cloth sales, and according to the current textile mill textile speed, Yuanshan can get nearly 1,000 yuan per month.

The shareholders of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce can make money, that is because their cotton raw material sales account for a large part of the income, but that has nothing to do with Yuanshan, if you want to make more money, you need to let the production of the textile factory sell more, at the moment the output is obviously insufficient, the future will still appear new textile mills, the same will steal Jenny textile machine, and then there will be a market competition relationship, then the textile technology of Datang will be greatly improved, and so on to a certain extent, raw materials are abundant, and the labor force can no longer meet the production needsI don't know if the first industrial revolution will break out at that time.

To be honest, Yuan Shan is still a little expectant, but throughout history, it seems unrealistic for the Tang Dynasty to break out the industrial revolution, wait for the rise of the big landlords first, but will Li Shimin let this happen.

Yuan Shan fell into thinking when he thought about it, and completely forgot that he was still worried about money, how did the three thousand yuan a month come about, he didn't reflect at all, maybe it was that Diaosi's dream was too real, so he didn't want to wake up.

I hope readers can support more, ask for rewards, ask for collections, and give a few recommendation votes!
