Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the game is to touch the Princess Changle

Now everyone is only concerned about how to pay the money. As for the charging issue, as business giants, they understand the reason very well.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and looked at Li Tai. He was not very clear about this matter, but Li Tai should know it.

Li Tai nodded to Li Chengqian, and then said:

"This road is expected to cost about 30 million guan. You don't need to pay all the silver at once. According to the progress of the project, the engineering team will have someone to reconcile with you.

In addition, the 30 million guan cannot be all silver. A part of it must be converted into grain, and tents can also be provided. You can negotiate on your own."

So many people participated in the construction. Even if they gave money, they couldn't buy so much grain at once.

After all, silver and copper coins can't fill your stomach directly.

"Your Highness, King Wei, I wonder if we can send someone to learn the lowercase numbers?"

Lu Changfeng still remembered that Li Chengqian said that the lowercase numbers were convenient for accounting and calculation, and there were no mistakes.

"Why not? You can teach others after you learn it!" Li Tai replied immediately. "I will teach you lowercase numbers and the new accounting method. This will also facilitate future cooperation." "Thank you, Prince, and Your Highness the King of Wei!" They thought about it and sent ten people from each family to learn lowercase numbers after returning. As a businessman, who doesn't want to have clear accounts and no mistakes? "Brother, Qingque asked Cousin Chong to come." Li Tai stood up and spoke to Li Chengqian, then walked out of the living room. Su Chen had told him before that after checking the accounts, there was another important matter that he needed to preside over. In the future, the affairs of the engineering department will be managed by Changsun Chong. Changsun Wuji closed his eyes and dozed off. Suddenly, he heard his son's name and his eyelids lifted slightly. "Family heads, from now on, Changsun Chong will communicate with you about all matters concerning the road construction."

Li Chengqian stood up and said to the family heads, and then briefly introduced the other seven people.

Changsun Chong came to the living room and saw that Li Shimin and his father and others were sleeping with their eyes closed, so he did not greet them.

Not only Changsun Chong came, but also the other seven construction team members came.

"I am Changsun Chong, and I am honored to meet you, the family heads!" Changsun Chong bowed to them respectfully.

The family heads also bowed in return. Although they did not know Changsun Chong and others, they could guess who they were from the names.

"Everyone, the cement road built before was fully responsible by the eight of them. They are proficient in accounting and managing all matters.

You all sent people to learn the new accounting method, and they are also responsible for teaching."

Li Tai briefly told everyone about Changsun Chong and his abilities.

"Then I will trouble you, gentlemen, to take care of it!" The twelve family heads bowed.

"I don't deserve it, I will teach you everything I have learned!" Changsun Chong and others immediately responded.

Changsun Wuji and other experienced people silently praised their son in their hearts.

It was not in vain that they stayed in the manor for so long, and they were grateful to Su Chen.

"Everyone, before the construction of this road starts, Lord Su has a business to send to all the family heads."

Li Chengqian looked at the family heads with a smile.

"May I ask your highness the crown prince, what is the business?" Li Shanhuai stood up and bowed.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai stood up at the same time.

"You are not unfamiliar with this business, you will know it if you follow me to visit it."

Li Chengqian turned to look at Li Shimin and found that he was closing his eyes. Li Chengqian bowed and led everyone out of the living room.

...

Li Chengqian greeted everyone in advance, and they could call him Master Li in this manor.

These villagers didn't know their identities yet.

Li Chengqian brought twelve family heads to the newly built residential area of ​​the villagers.

Some of the dozen family heads had indeed seen red bricks, but they had never seen red bricks used to build houses.

Looking at the neat rows of red brick houses, everyone was amazed.

"Is the business that Mr. Li mentioned the red brick business?" Lu Changfeng asked in surprise.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "To be exact, there are two businesses. These red bricks must be paired with cement to be stronger."

The most excited person was the new head of the Wang family. Their family lost the right to mine salt and had much less income than other families.

If he could add two businesses, his position as the head of the family would be more stable. Wang Kaishan is still in the wait-and-see period of the family.

It is not certain whether Wang Kaishan will eventually become the head of the family.

"Everyone, I will take you to see the cement factory and red bricks. We will discuss the specific matters when we go back."

After Li Chengqian walked to the middle of the village, he did not plan to continue strolling.

"Thank you, Mr. Li!"

The group walked towards the red brick factory and cement factory.

...

An hour later, everyone returned to the living room.

Li Shimin and others still closed their eyes and leaned back in their chairs.On top, I don't know if he really fell asleep.

Everyone returned to their seats carefully.

"Your Highness, I wonder how Lord Su will grant the cement and red brick business to us?" Li Shanhuai asked in a low voice.

"Lord Su will pass on the cement manufacturing process and the red brick production method to you, and you can run the factory yourself."

Li Chengqian relayed what Su Chen said before.

"Your Highness, please tell Lord Su that we are willing to give half of the profits to the Lord, and we will pay no less taxes. We will take this business."

After more than a dozen family heads exchanged glances, they immediately expressed their opinions.

Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand and said, "Lord Su means that after deducting necessary expenses, Lord Su will take 20%, and the rest will pay 20% tax."

When the family heads heard this, Lord Su was really generous. This was not just a matter of 10% more or 10% less. After deducting expenses, Lord Su took 20%, and then paid taxes, which was completely different.

They also figured out some of Su Chen's character. No matter what they did with profit, they had to pay taxes.

Li Chengqian took out another drawing with a few points marked on it.

"Look, everyone, these are the points marked by Lord Su. After you go back, you can immediately arrange personnel to open cement red brick factories at the marked places."

Those points are exactly where the road construction passes along the way, and Su Chen has accurately calculated the geographical location.

This will not only facilitate the construction of the Chang'an to Taiyuan cement road, but also facilitate the surrounding people to buy cement red bricks in the future.

At the same time, it also meets the raw materials needed for cement red brick production.

"Thank you, Your Highness, please tell the Lord that we will prepare for the construction of the factory as soon as we return."

They also thought of these factory sites, a large part of which was for the convenience of this road construction, but this is also the first business.

They have paid for the road construction, and they must pay for the purchase of cement and red bricks, which will be included in the project payment.

At the same time, they sighed again in their hearts:

"It seems that the 200,000 guan per family was not given in vain!"

Li Chengqian remembered that he seemed to have missed something.

"Everyone, after the road is repaired in the future, the court will send three officers and soldiers to each toll station to help you enforce the law.

If someone maliciously evades the toll, they can legally detain the goods and hand them over to you for disposal. You will pay their wages of 80 wen per day."

"As it should be!" everyone said in unison.

Li Chengqian nodded and continued: "In addition, this palace once again declares that salt, grain and military supplies shall not be charged tolls."

"Your Highness, please rest assured, we all know this!"

These are stated in the investment promotion instructions, not to mention that they have their own salt and grain businesses. These tolls will inevitably lead to price increases for the corresponding materials.

The emperor does not want these things to increase in price due to tolls.

"In this case, the negotiation on attracting investment is over. You can send people to the manor tomorrow to learn, including cement and red brick production technology."

All matters have been settled, and Li Chengqian ended the negotiation.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The heads of the families said in unison, and then looked at Li Shimin who was sitting in the main seat.

But the emperor was closing his eyes and didn't say a word about road construction from beginning to end.

"Ah!"

Suddenly a sneeze sounded, and Cheng Yaojin rubbed his nose.

Li Shimin opened his eyes and stretched.

"Huh? Have you finished the negotiation?" Li Shimin asked confusedly.

"Your Majesty, we have already negotiated with Your Highness the Crown Prince, and we will start preparing for related matters tomorrow!" Li Shanhuai stood up and replied respectfully.

Li Shimin nodded, "That's good!"
