The second half of the fifth year of Zhenguan.
Datang ushered in a bumper harvest, and the output of corn crops continued to increase, which correspondingly affected the development of Chang'an's aquaculture industry.
The people harvest grain, the merchants harvest silver, and the court harvest is the stability of the country and the health of the people.
"Master Hou, there is too much grain in centralized storage this year, the lack of carriages has begun to turn over, and the Yuan family's fleet is not enough to put into use now."
Thoughtful.
The affairs of Lantian centralized warehousing have always been in charge of this Zhou steward, and he is still the steward of the Yuan family manor, but he is doing the work of managing the industry.
Wonshan understood very well after listening to the thoughtful suffering, but the carriage did not mean that the production could immediately have a large amount of investment.
"Steward Zhou, although the current situation is a little difficult, the problem will always be dealt with, the carriage is not enough, then use manpower for the time being, and the interests of customers must be guaranteed."
Yuan Shandao.
Thoughtfully said: "Yes, the old man will do it." ” "Lao Zhou, you are now the steward here, how can you speak so politely."
Wonshan teased.
"Master Hou, there are no rules."
After saying that, I went to do things.
Thoughtful is right, Yuan Shan came here today to check his own industry, and he adopted modern management at the beginning, so everything that needs to be checked on the books has statistics, and he doesn't have to worry about business matters at all.
After checking it, I found that the utilization rate of this warehouse is still not too high, and there is still a lot of space that has not been utilized, but the current capacity can only be like this.
The convoy has always restricted the volume of cargo transportation, which has attracted the attention of Yuan Shan, even if there are more carriages, it will not be able to meet the needs of Datang, thinking that the Yuan family is still quite rich now, it is better to start building a train line to give full play to the steam power.
It is not so easy to build a railway, not only does it require a lot of steel, but it also requires technical investment, as well as manpower and material resources, but these things can stump him, obviously not.
He is now the Overseer of Ordnance Inspectors, and it is not difficult to improve the technology of iron smelting.
"A railway will be built from Lantian County to Chang'an, so it will be very convenient to travel between the two places."
Yuan Shan muttered.
Then he began to scribble things on the paper, which was written about the construction of the railway, the amount of work was very large, and the time had come to reflect the comprehensive ability of the Tang Dynasty in all aspects, and there was no problem if he wanted to let Yuan Shan pay for it, but the premise was that the imperial court must provide convenience and support, and this road could not be repaired in vain.
Thinking that now is not the time, Li Dejian and Li De Award are now in Cangzhou, and it is unrealistic to want them to come back to make locomotives.
After recording what he had just thought of, he walked out of the office area of the centralized warehouse, and he also wanted to check the on-site work of the warehouse.
The corn stored here in the centralized warehouse is transported from Chengdu, and the reclaimed land will provide a relatively fixed interest for the wealthy businessmen who invest every year, and the chain of interests of the pig grower is supplied from here.
There is relatively little planting land around Chang'an, so the grain is mainly supplied by other state capitals, which is a shortcoming of Chang'an's geographical location, but the development of this region will not be restricted because of grain after corn.
The fattening pigs of the pig farm in the autumn were on the market, and the main consumer groups were not the common people, but the princes, nobles and wealthy merchants, who had long been accustomed to pork, and their current lives were inseparable from these meats.
I used to eat mutton all the time, but for them, neither the price nor the quantity of mutton could be eaten by ordinary people.
Good ingredients determine eating habits, which is not as ruthless as the pork that has just been marketed.
Although the three companies of the Ministry of Economic Development do not make much money, it is a long-term money-making project, and the pig farms that have been built are also fixed assets.
Today, the Ministry of Economic Development does not need to unite with these businessmen, and even if it is to unite with the merchants, it will be due to it, because if they breed their own products, the benefits that will be distributed to the Ministry of Economic Development will return to their hands, and as for sales, the merchants will not lack shops.
No matter how these businessmen toss, Chengdu's grain needs to be turned over in centralized storage, otherwise so many grain merchants will have no place to put it.
"Master Hou, why are you here?"
Zhou Zhi saw Yuan Shan coming to the warehouse, and immediately ran over and said.
"It's okay, I'm just coming over and seeing, you guys keep busy."
Yuan Shandao.
After walking around the warehouse, I left.
As soon as he returned to the Hou Mansion, Caiyi said: "Master Hou, just now the Ministry of Industry Shangshu sent someone over to say that the new carriage is ready to be delivered, and you can send someone over to receive it." ” "Well, prepare the car and go to the Ministry of Industry."
Yuan Shandao.
I went out again not two minutes after entering the house, but I didn't go out in a carriage, but a rich car, which was a special car that Zhang San deliberately left in the Hou Ye's mansion.
Now all the carriages of the Yuan family have been transferred to the centralized warehouse, so they can only rely on manpower to pull the carts.
The coachman trotted all the way, and it didn't take long to get from the Hou Mansion to the Ministry of Industry, and when Yuan Shan arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he saw that Yan Lide was already waiting here.
"Yuan servant, you're here, this is the last batch of five hundred carriages, and these are the documents that need to be signed."
Yan Lide said.
"I didn't expect your Ministry of Industry to be quite fast."
Yuan Shandao.

Ordering this kind of thing is naturally done by someone, he is only responsible for signing the documents, and the matter is negotiated here The carriage will be handed over to the Ministry of Economic Development, and the balance will be settled later.
It would take some time to transport money from the treasury of the Ministry of Economic Development of Shangshu Province, so the two of them began to talk again.
"Yuan servant shooting, this saw is really easy to use, at present, Your Majesty has promised to let the Ordnance Superintendent customize a batch of equipment for the Ministry of Industry, this matter will not affect you."
Yan Lide asked.
"It's strange that copying with Lao Tzu's equipment doesn't affect it."
Yuan Shanxin said.
"Of course not, the Ordnance Warden has already paid for it."
Yuan Shan said.
In fact, what the imperial court gave was not a royalty, but an invention fee, just like a plough in Quyuan, and he didn't care at all.
"Your Majesty attaches great importance to the Ministry of Industry, and with these table saws, wood processing will be much less labor-saving."
Yuan Shan said casually.
"yes, by the way, there's one more thing to talk about today."
Yan Lide said.
"Something."
Yuan Shan wondered.
"It's like this, the imperial court is going to customize a batch of carriages, whether the bearings needed on the carriages can give some more profits."
Yan Lide said that obviously he was not good at bargaining, but he was very easy to bargain.
Yuan Shan understood that the imperial court had placed an order, and asked curiously, "How many bearings do you want?"
” He won't easily agree to this kind of thing, promotions are basically for a certain purpose, and now he is not short of money, so he will naturally not take the initiative to reduce the price, but since Yan Lide asked him, it was not good not to give face, so he asked tentatively.
