Section 447 Invitation to Merchants
There were a few seals on Li Er's table, then a few newspapers, and zuihou was a seal that was placed in a wooden box with a seal, from the Security Department of the Tang Empire, and Qin Qiong's private seal.
Li Er waved his hand: "Let's all go out!" ”
The eunuchs and palace maids all withdrew, and the forbidden army closed the door outside.
There are only Li Er, Fang Xuanling, and the eldest grandson Wuji in the study.
"These stamps are not interesting, this investment invitation makes me feel very fresh, but I don't know what the result will be?"
"I don't know, I can't guess." The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head helplessly.
Fang Xuanling also said: "Holy Lord, I remember that when His Royal Highness King Qin first mentioned the royal silk, all the chambers of commerce had a wait-and-see attitude, and in the past year, several workshops with royal names have expanded more than ten times, and the exquisiteness of silk is unimaginable!" ”
"It's going to be lively!" Li Er said with a smile.
In fact, Li Er knew about the investment promotion, the person who manipulated it was Li Yuanxing, and it was the household department that Zuihou collected the money. Li Er only needs to know one number is enough.
Li Er slowly opened the wooden box, and inside were two watch seals.
The first one, Li Er didn't say anything after reading it, he directly put it on the candlestick next to him and lit it, and then threw it in the copper basin. This is Qin Qiong's report on the Qin Wangqi mercury mine, copper mine, and Tongguan gold mine.
Li Er had already discussed with Li Yuanxing, so he burned the seal.
At least until Li Yuanxing's coins came out, Li Er would never have mentioned it. Li Er also believes that Li Yuanxing will keep it absolutely secret, because it involves a lot.
Before opening the other copy, Li Erxin said that Qin Qiong had heard something from Li Yuanxing again.
But as soon as it was opened, Li Erteng stood up in a flash.
The seal said that there were several large gold ditches in Liaodong, and all the gold could be dug up, and a new palace could be easily rebuilt.
How much it will cost to build a new palace, Li Er knows better than anyone.
According to Li Chunfeng's site selection, Li Yuanxing's design prototype. and the improvement of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. Not to mention building houses. The garden, just with the gold that is decorated, needs thousands of catties.
The huge pillar of gold on the main hall will definitely shock all the nations of the world.
"I have to think about it. Think about it. Stand down! Li Er waved his hand.
Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji are the people he trusts the most. But Li Er was also a little confused about this matter, and he had heard Li Yuanxing say that there was gold in Liaodong. But what Li Er didn't expect was such a huge number.
The gold of Liaodong is different from the gold of Tongguan.
The gold in Tongguan was dug out and pulled back to Qinwangzhuang, which was no different from putting it in your own pocket.
But Liaodong is different, the emperor is far away, and it is three thousand miles away from Chang'an, so how should these gold mines be handled, even a person like Li Er, who is decisive in killing, also hesitates.
Gold mine! A gold mine that can't be controlled!
Li Er began to walk around the study, and he began to think about how to deal with it.
Half an hour passed, and Li Er was still spinning around in the study, walking in circles.
An inspiration popped into my head: "Someone! ”
Gao Gonggong entered the study in response, and Li Er saw that Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji were still waiting outside the door, and immediately said to Gao Gonggong: "Please come in with the two of them!" ”
"Holy!" Fang Xuanling and his eldest grandson gave a courtesy.
"Then there are still two issues of the China Merchants Association, and then in the early morning of the third day, will it start?
After hearing this, Gonggong Gao bowed down and replied: "Exactly, it was originally intended to be done in Qinwangzhuang, and later placed in the Chamber of Commerce Street. Originally, the Cui family had some industries in the Chamber of Commerce Street, but this time I heard about Princess Mingyue's thousand dumpling banquet, so they let out the newly renovated haode building. ”
Li Er nodded and said to the eldest grandson Wuji: "Wulang has discovered gold mines in Liaodong, and the amount is huge. I thought that we should also attract investment together, and if we get permission to mine gold, we can go to dig for gold, otherwise we will be severely punished. ”
"Holy Lord, is this buying mines first, and then digging for gold?"
"Exactly!" Li Er put the map of the gold mine on the table.
Fang Xuanling didn't go to get the map, but said, "Holy Lord, who has so much money to buy a gold mine?" ”
"What's the best idea?"
"Sell it first, then collect it again on an annual basis, and promise that if you can't dig up the gold for three years, the seniority will be returned. But the fraudsters will be severely punished! ”
Compared with the cruelty of the whip dynasty in later generations, the severe punishment of the Tang Dynasty is already very merciful.
Luo Yi rebelled, which is an absolute felony, but in fact, even if Luo Yi did not surrender at that time, that is, killed him and his son, basically everything else would be exiled or enslaved.
After Luo Yi surrendered, his subordinates captured hundreds of them, and only three people were really killed.
The law of the Tang Dynasty is still very merciful, and there will be no such beheading drama that kills with rivers of blood.
For example, the old wolf often said, kill his whole family!
This whole family, put in the whip dynasty is the nine clans, and in the Tang Dynasty old wolf means that if you kill yourself, and then kill your son, this is the whole family, not even the elders in the family.
Regarding Fang Xuanling's proposal, Li Er agreed.
"Go for it! In the Tang Daily, I personally wrote an investment promotion order, the household department, the criminal department, and the military department. The three departments have joined forces to attract investment, this location is ......" Speaking of the location, Li Er smiled: "Just put it in the lookout tower on Chamber of Commerce Street that is ready to open!" ”
"Yes!" Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji saluted in unison, and then withdrew.
Leaving the study, the eldest grandson Wuji breathed a long sigh of relief, Fang Xuanling also breathed a sigh of relief, the two looked at each other and smiled, both shook their heads with some joy, Fang Xuanling said: "Fortunately, it's not a military matter!" The eldest grandson Wuji also said: "Yes, fortunately, there is no need to fight, in the past two years, it is not appropriate to use the sword lightly!" ”
Neither of them cared much about gold mines or something. That thing is to put it bluntly, it's just that Li Er turned the far money into cash.
"Do you want to try the gold mine?"
"Naturally, I want to give it a try, and a certain family spends a lot of money, but there is no industry. As soon as this luxury tax is added, the family will have to wear cloth clothes, so it is natural to give it a try. How about the eldest grandson's servant, although he didn't look closely, but from a distance, the gold mine doesn't seem to be small, but it's not much! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head: "Fang Gong is not as good as a few families working together, and a certain one is not involved." ”
It's not that the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't want to participate, but he can't participate, because his sister is the queen, and it's better for him not to get involved in this kind of thing, and sometimes, he avoids it.
Datang Daily, as an official policy newspaper, and Chang'an Daily, as the largest non-governmental newspaper.
The two major newspapers are completely out of stock, even if the family has no money, they want to buy a newspaper for the sake of the investment order, just to watch a lively one, they will buy a copy.
Reprint!
It will never be printed, and as an official newspaper, Datang Daily has as many copies as there are every day. Unless the overall printing volume is increased, but this is calculated on a monthly basis, and there will never be a temporary printing thing.
The Chang'an newspaper will not be printed, because printing three more copies is a penny.
Chang'an Daily is a newspaper that loses money and prints, and the difference in the price is earned back with advertising fees, but the advertising fees are collected on a monthly basis, so there are no special circumstances, and Chang'an Daily will not be printed.
It's hard to find!
The investment promotion order in the newspaper is the ticket to the entrance, and you can't even enter the door without the investment promotion order.
The next day, forty-eight hours before the start of the China Merchants Association, 10,000 copies of each of the two newspapers were printed, and 10,000 copies were printed for the surrounding states and counties.
Iron and steel mill, cement mill, coke mill, lime mill. Investment Order!
The whole Chang'an exploded at once, and in less than half an hour after the newspaper was sold, people running wildly could be seen everywhere in the entire Chang'an City, and the people who ran had a unified specificity, that is, their status was not high, they were either the entourage of a large family, or a side branch of a certain family.
If we say that the investment promotion order on the first day is only in the recruitment of agriculture and commerce. It's fascinating, but it's not crazy. But the next day's investment promotion order was written by His Royal Highness King Qin, the steel mill and the cement mill, what does this represent? In a few months, Yaozhou is a million catties of steel, and this steel makes the entire Datang crazy in terms of quantity and quality.
Although the people of the Seventh Family had already heard of it, they were shocked when the real investment order appeared.
"To participate or not to participate?" When Wang Jishan, the head of the Wang family, spoke, he held Danshen Dan in one hand. He was really afraid that his heart would suddenly break.
"If you don't participate, you can't do it, and you can't help us, old things." The elder of the Wang family shook his head with a wry smile, and then continued: "Our Wang family now has fourteen coal mines, of which nine are rich mines and large mines. The booklet I got from Yaozhou, some juniors in my family have tried it, and there are also five mines of coal that can be coking. There is no need to buy the mining area map of Qinwangfu for the iron mines around Taiyuan, as far as they have their own hands, there are more than a dozen small mines, and there is also one large mining area. ”
Wang Jishan nodded: "Yes, this steel mill can really be opened at any time, and craftsmen will be sent to study in Yaozhou for three months, or half a year, I dare not say that there will be 300,000 catties of steel in a month, but there will always be 100,000 catties!" ”
"The eyes of the juniors in the family are bright, the main family doesn't eat meat, and they don't let them eat meat, I'm afraid it will make trouble!"
"Don't be in a hurry, it's not too late to ask for a plan when you enter the palace to face the saint. A million catties of steel a year, made into knives, twelve guards are afraid that they can all be changed once, so it is better to be careful with this thing in the steel mill. ”
Wang Ji is thoughtful, and it is easy to say that steel is a strategic material in Datang.
"Uncle went to a few other houses!"
The Seven Families are not wrong in their thoughts, money can be earned, and shili can be increased. But there must be no items that stimulate royalty, and steel is one of them.
But in fact, Li Er and Li Yuanxing really don't care, because if they want to rebel, they don't just have enough weapons. (To be continued......)
