Lanzhou Mansion, it's a bit chaotic inside, the women led by Dugu Ruolan are all busy, some people are settling accounts, and some people are sorting out information.
Yuanjia Mall settled in Lanzhou and directly leased a three-story building and turned it into a shopping mall.
There are gold stores mainly engaged in precious metals and jewelry, as well as clothing stores focusing on high-end clothing and leather shoes, and there is also a relatively high-end grocery store, where we sell some strange things, of course, there are normal.
The grocery store has all kinds of goods, similar in nature to the first store in Chang'an City and Pingfang, with candles, kerosene lamps, firecrackers, matches, ink, paper and other goods.
A group of women are very busy right now, the shop is just starting to be built, and many things need to be done by themselves.
The comprehensive mall of the Ministry of Economic Development developed one step earlier than the Yuanjia store, and the competitive pressure was very great, so the response taken by the Yuanjia was to take the high-end route.
The development speed of Lanzhou is very fast, there are many rich merchants, and high-end goods can also be transported by merchants to the Western Regions to raise prices and sell again, and the business prospects seem to be better than Chang'an City, especially after the merchants of the Western Regions gather in Lanzhou, they do not need to go to Chang'an.
Even if you want to go to Chang'an, a one-day train can meet the demand for round-trip between the two places.
Yuan Shan was helping in the living room, and his family's business had to be managed well, and when he was looking at the materials, Caiyi came over and said, "Master, Zhang Tingshi is here." ” "Go to the study."
Yuan Shandao When he came to the study, Zhang Wenyi said directly without beating around the bush: "Lan Guogong, the imperial court is urging the transportation of railroad tracks and cement piles again, whether we sell it or not, the lower officials are under pressure." ” "It's really hard for you to stare at the face of so many Guogong, only reserve half a year's output, the railway from Lanzhou to Tuyuhun has not been built yet, is the price negotiated" Yuan Shan asked.
Zhang Wenyi made a bitter face and said: "The fee given by the imperial court is one percent lower than the price issued by the Ministry of Economic Development, and the lower officials have done their best." ” "Well, well, in fact, the transportation cost in the middle can be earned, so let's sell it, I also hope that the railway of the Cangzhou line can be completed one day earlier."
Yuan Shan thought about it.
"The lower official has resigned."
Zhang Wenyi said.
Zhang Wenyi stared at the pressure from the court, a group of princes invested in the steel plant but wanted to see the benefits, the court used the treasury expenditure to buy in order to lay the railway, and after talking to the ministry, at first it was thought that the output was still small for three months, and because of the price began to discuss for a month, and then the output of the railroad track went up, but it was always stuck on the price and did not let go.
As a result, the imperial court put pressure on Zhang Wen, and Li Shimin also gave the will, so it was difficult for him to delay it any longer, but although the price negotiation was cheaper, the output was enough to make up for it.
That night, a train of rails was taken away, not because they didn't want to load more, but because the load of the wagon increased and it couldn't run.
For this reason, Yuanshan is already preparing to develop a new type of steam train, and this job was sent to the Cangzhou shipyard, where a large steam engine can be made, and the Li brothers are in charge, and according to the drawings, it must not take too long to complete the main components.
The process output of the iron casting plant in Lanzhou can go up, but the accuracy is indeed slightly poor, which is also determined according to the nature of the industry, but there are considerations for industrial upgrading.
The next day, Gao Chunxing of the Economic Development Department came to the mansion, and when he saw Yuan Shanhou, he said directly: "Lan Guogong, the railroad tracks are transported back to Chang'an, what should I do if the railway stops the expansion?"
Gao Chunxing was worried about affecting the established plan, so he came to ask.
Yuan Shan said: "The imperial court needs this batch of products, Your Majesty's meaning, the expansion of the railway will be put aside first, and the steel plant will be fully invested, as long as the new furnace can be used, the output can be guaranteed, and it will not be difficult to expand the railway at that time." ” After a pause, he continued: "Besides, so much money has been invested, and now it is good to return the capital, and the output of iron ore also needs to be reserved, and now Lanzhou has entered the stage of formal development, everything can not be in a hurry, safe production, after the development of Lanzhou's industry, it can be expanded to the Datang Prefecture." ” Gao Chunxing's mood eased a little, after all, he is young and vigorous, and he always wants to do things well and quickly, and it is very desirable to be aggressive, but he is not calm enough.
"What Lan Guogong said is that the lower officials will do it."
High-purity roadways.
Two more trains have been added to the Lanzhou Chang'an train, which transports rails and cement piles throughout the day, and it is directly from the Luoyang Railway to the section where the railway is built, and the supply of rails saves the trouble of transportation.
A month later, under the auspices of Gao Chunxing, the Ministry of Economic Development began to count the sales of railroad tracks, earning a net of 200,000 yuan, including railroad tracks, cement piles, and sand and gravel and other materials.
However, it is still far from the standard of theoretical output, and it is still in its infancy, and the production capacity is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also depends on the supply of iron ore reserves, and the production capacity of the Lanzhou Iron and Steel Plant is three times that of the steel plant in the suburbs of Chang'an.
The increase in iron ore has greatly benefited the bearing factory and bicycle workshop in Chang'an, and the output of the main bearings of horse-drawn carriages and bicycles has increased significantly, and the rubber industry in Lingnan has been vigorously excavated, and rubber has begun to be applied to wooden tires to increase wear resistance and fat reduction effect.
Just when the development of Lanzhou was in full swing, Lingnan's rubber became the object of many nouveau riche, so a large number of businessmen went one after another, Feng Ang began to work on this matter, and then what he didn't expect was that the businessmen were willing to invest money, and the amount was so large that he would tremble.
To support the development of local industries, Feng Ang took the brunt of this matter and began to plant a large number of rubber trees and build a rubber processing factory in Lingnan.
In this way, after the merchants flocked to the city, a small workshop began to emerge, and a large number of rubber trees began to be developed, perhaps in a few years, the rubber industry in Lingnan will usher in a new state of development.
In the imperial study of the imperial city, the eldest grandson Wuji said indifferently: "Your Majesty, the treasury has spent as much as three million guan in a month, of which one million guan is all used for the construction of the railway, and the remaining one million guan is invested in the production of locomotives. ” "I already know about this matter, the carriage of the railway section in Cangzhou is completed, and when the time comes, with this railway, Cangzhou Port as a transshipment port will bring greater benefits, and with this line, isn't it convenient for the people who move to Donghai Prefecture, Wuji I know that what you want is to do so much is nothing more than to work the people and lose money, but don't you see that Yuanshan's kid spends more money" Li Shimin said leisurely.
The eldest grandson Wuji is very worried, because the Ministry of Economic Development has a variety of channels for getting money, but the treasury expenditure all depends on taxes, and the amount seems to be a lot, but the huge country is not much, and the treasury reserves are the key.
I hope readers can support a lot, ask for rewards, ask for collections, recommend tickets, and give a few monthly passes:
