The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed a few days, and the poem about fireworks made by Li Siyuan is also known to people who do good things.

Some people named it Xianhuo, some people named it Acacia, and some people even named it to see fireworks! When Li Siyuan heard these messy names, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head!

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, the year is approaching, in these three or four months, Li Siyuan has also received a large number of orders from the special fireworks production factory of the imperial court, and the same is true for furniture factories and toothpaste and toothbrush factories!

Now in the entire Tang Dynasty, whenever Li Jiaji Li Siyuan is mentioned, no one does not say that he admires it!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can give me these coal mines, I can't give you 3 percent of dry shares!" Li Siyuan pointed to several places near Chang'an City, begging Li Shimin.

"No, 4 percent!" Li Shimin drank the tea brought by Li Siyuan and said slowly.

"Forty percent really can't be given to you, and I only have three of them!" Li Siyuan explained bitterly: "Look, General Cheng wants one percent, General Qin wants one percent, King Zhao Jun wants one percent, General Wei Chi wants one percent, and my father-in-law wants one percent!" I can't tell that much! “

Li Shimin thought about it, and did not continue to embarrass him: "Sancheng is fine, but I will only give you ten years of mining rights, and after ten years, the court will take it back." ”

Li Siyuan cursed himself secretly, chatting with Li Shimin these days, he learned everything, it seems that if he wants to make some money in the future, he will have to use more brains!

"Ten years is ten years!" Li Siyuan gritted his teeth and agreed: "Or go to the crown princess?" ”

"Yes!" Li Shimin nodded: "It's all in the name of the crown princess!" ”

Finally got the right to mine the coal mine, Li Siyuan happily came to the residence of the crown princess, completed all the formalities, and returned home happily.

Now the coal mine and iron ore have been prepared, the iron-smelting workshop has been almost ready, and the iron-smelting masters are all hired by him with a high salary.

Since ancient times, the Chinese New Year has been a big festival, especially in ancient times, the New Year is not only a symbol of reunion, but also a summary of the past year!

"Shaolangjun, the shopkeepers from all over the country have already arrived at home, ready to report to you, when will you have time to meet them?" Steward Zhao respectfully reported to Li Siyuan!

"Oh, are they all here?" Li Siyuan looked at the sky and said: "Right now, there is still a period of time before it gets dark, let's reconcile the accounts together, chat, and invite everyone to dinner in the evening!" ”

Steward Zhao took the order to leave, and soon called everyone to the living room, it was unusually cold outside, and there were snowflakes, but as soon as he entered the living room, there was a heat wave in front of him, these housekeepers had never been here, and they looked around curiously, wanting to see how big the stove was, so that there could be such a temperature in winter.

Everyone looked around, but found that only a small iron stove in the middle emitted heat, and there was no smoke, which was very magical.

"Ahem." Just when everyone was studying around the stove, Li Siyuan turned out from behind the screen and coughed lightly: "Pay attention to the hard work of the shopkeeper, everyone has been busy this year!" ”

Li Siyuan pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down and said: "This year, I have seen everyone's hard work, and I don't need to check today's account, I believe you, let's talk about the difficulties we have encountered and our suggestions for our business!" ”

"Young owner." The shopkeeper Liu of the furniture store in Chang'an City was the first to speak: "I can't talk about difficulties or anything, but the production capacity of our workshop is too low, and customers often complain that they can't get the goods." ”

Li Siyuan looked up at the head of the furniture workshop, and saw that his face was full of shame, but he did not shirk his responsibility, he nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It's not to blame the workshop, it's really not enough manpower, let's recruit another batch of people next year and expand the output!" ”

Everyone nodded, they all thought it was reasonable, and seeing that the young owner was so reasonable, everyone's hearts were also warm.

"Shaodong, our family's things are unique in Datang, even if they are pulled outside, they are in demand, and there are no other difficulties!" Sun Dacai, the head of the Li family's caravan, stood up and finished speaking, then pointed to the stove and asked: "Shaodong, your stove is so hot, and there is no choking smell of smoke, this is a treasure, if this can also be produced in large quantities, we will make a lot of money!" ”

"What's this?" Li Siyuan pointed to the stove and shook his head: "This thing looks magical, in fact, as long as you see it once, it will be produced, and it is impossible to make a fortune from this!" ”

"You're all coming and seeing!" Li Siyuan stood up as he spoke, and led everyone to the stove: "Actually, it's just a furnace made of pig iron, and if you pull the pipe from here, the smoke inside will float down the pipe to the outside of the house!" It's not ordinary charcoal burned, it's coal, that's why it's so hot! ”

Everyone is a smart person, and they know the mystery at a glance, and they all shake their heads and sigh, one by one, as if they have lost tens of thousands of taels of gold!

Looking at everyone's appearance, Li Siyuan smiled: "You don't have to be depressed, you can't make a big fortune, you can still make a small fortune, maybe you don't know yet, I have bought the mining rights of several coal mines from the imperial court, and after the spring of next year, we can make steel, and we can also sell some coal by the way!" ”

Everyone's frustration was diluted a lot by Li Siyuan's words, and there was more laughter in the living room!

"Shaolang-kun, the meals are ready!" Steward Zhao appeared at the right time to remind Li Siyuan that it was time to eat.

Li Siyuan was chatting happily with everyone, forgetting the time, at this time, listening to Steward Zhao's reminder, he hurriedly said: "Look at me, I was happy to talk to you, I forgot that it was time to eat, let's take a walk, everyone chatted while eating!" As he spoke, he led the group to the restaurant.

Li Mu and Li Sisi naturally couldn't participate in this kind of occasion, and Li Sande didn't come back when there was something in the yamen, so this big table was naturally respected by Li Siyuan.

"Oh, I've long heard that the owner's meal is the best meal in our Datang, and today can be regarded as a blessing!"

"Yes, I heard that the prince came to eat it once, and he was full of praise!"

"That is, our owner's skills are much better than those imperial chefs!"

.............

One or two of these people are businessmen, and everyone pats their sycophants together, even Li Siyuan, who has always been a self-proclaimed sycophant king, is a little unbearable.

He hurriedly waved his hand and stopped everyone's compliments: "Everyone, everyone must be hungry, don't be restrained, let's eat, I have good news to tell you after eating, this is a gift I specially prepared for everyone!" ”

Everyone was puzzled, they had all seen the kind owner, but this was the first one who was willing to prepare a gift for them, but I had already heard that this young owner was generous, and the gift he prepared must be worth a lot! For a while, everyone was itchy and unbearable, secretly guessing that there was a feeling of not knowing the taste of food for a while!
