Chapter 101 Industry Report

Two months passed in a blink of an eye. In Chang'an in October, the weather began to turn cold. The leaves on the trees first turned from green to yellow, and then were blown down by the bleak autumn wind. People also took off their thin summer clothes.

Start changing into thick autumn outfits.

During these two months, a lot of news happened in Chang'an City, such as the Yan King Li You was locked up again; fireworks flying all over the sky on August 15; perfumes that attracted countless wealthy ladies also began to be sold; and

The honeycomb coal stove that was just launched two days ago, but what people discuss the most is the marriage of King Liang Li Yan.

It is already late October, and in two days it will be the wedding day of King Liang Li Yan. This year, Li Yan can be said to be the hottest figure in the entire Tang Dynasty. He has transformed from a playboy to a humble and polite person.

The gentleman of the country and the people also invented many things that benefited the country and the people. For example, the first fried tea was now promoted by the patent department. As long as you pay a patent fee, anyone can make fried tea for sale.

Many merchants have made fried tea this year's autumn and winter tea. Although this new tea still has a small market share, it has already become in line with traditional tea.

In addition to tea stir-frying, there are also two emerging industries, cement and carbide. Not to mention the significance of the emergence of these two new products, these two industries have directly or indirectly supported hundreds of thousands of people, and even many have

People become rich because of this, and the merchants or wealthy nobles who first invested in these two industries also made a lot of money. Therefore, no matter how far or far away the Tang Dynasty, as long as the name of Li Liulang is mentioned, all of them are praised.

, and his wedding of course attracted countless attention.

Now, the Liang Palace is busy all the time. The mansion has been thoroughly cleaned several times in the past two days. Now it has started to set up the wedding scene with lights and colors. As the chief official of the palace, Gao Chong

Now he is so busy that he can't help but transform into Nezha with three heads and six arms. He can be seen everywhere in the palace.

In fact, Gao Chong didn’t have to be so busy. A few days ago, all the managers sent by the Liang Palace had returned, such as Liu Hu, who managed tea cooking affairs, Yang Jiu, who managed the winery, and various managers who managed the coal mines, etc.

These people can stand alone outside, and it is certainly no problem to handle some wedding affairs. However, Gao Chong, as the old man who grew up at Li Yan, was not at ease with Liu Hu, Yang Jiu and others, and had to ask about everything himself

OK. The result is not only that I am tired, but also that the servants who do things complain.

Compared to his high-ranking busyness, Li Yan, the most core figure of the wedding, seemed very leisurely. A month ago, he finally satisfied the three plague god instructors of the Ministry of Rites. After passing the etiquette training, Li Yan would

There is nothing wrong, so other officials and servants of the royal palace will handle other matters.

Compared with other places in the royal palace, Li Yan's study seemed very quiet. The room was close to the window. Li Yan asked someone to make some renovations and added a coal ball stove with a long chimney, which not only allowed to keep warm, but also

You can also boil water and make tea. When not in use, cover the fire outlet with a lid, and the gas is discharged from the chimney to the window, so you don’t have to worry about gas poisoning when staying inside.

Not far from the stove, there was a large recliner with thick fur on it. Li Yan was wearing a single dress. He was very comfortable and lying on it, holding a book of the newly tidied Three Kingdoms in his hand, and there was aside

Wen'er and Hua'er served, looking indescribable and comfortable.

"Your Highness, are you listening to my maid's report?" Wang Xijun, who was sitting on the side and working for him during this period, stared at Li Yan and shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Ah~ Oh~, you say you say. I'm listening!" Li Yan stared at the book with his eyes, and said absent-mindedly without raising his head. He was now seeing the critical moment of the Battle of Red Cliff, and his mind was on it.

Yes, I didn’t care what Wang Xijun said at all. Although the content in the Three Kingdoms has been familiar with it for a long time, every time I read it again, I will have some new feelings, which is the most attractive part of the Three Kingdoms.

"Hmph, forget it if I don't listen. Next time I will be greedy for tens of thousands of yuan, so you can't even find the accounts!" Seeing that Li Yan still refused to put down the book, Xijun angrily put the accounts in his hand on him.

He fell and said hatefully.

Now Li Yan finally got out of the plot in the book. He was not angry. He smiled and picked up the account, then stuffed it into Xijun's hand, and said shamelessly: "Hehe, Xijun,

I know I'm wrong. I won't read this book anymore. From now on, I will concentrate on listening to you!”

Looking at Li Yan's rogue appearance, Wen'er and Hua'er covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Although Wang Xijun was angry, when he saw Li Yan's lazy appearance, he felt angry and funny, and had no choice but to sit down again.

"Xijun, now the honeycomb coal has been pushed out, how is the effect?" In order to make up for the mistake just now, Li Yan asked very actively. However, Wang Xijun rolled his eyes when he heard this, because she just now

It has been said, but Li Yan is only concerned about reading books and never heard of them.

It is rare that Li Yan cooperates so actively, and Wang Xijun couldn't bear to get angry with him again, so he said patiently: "Report to Your Highness, since the honeycomb coal and supporting stove were launched, although some people still dare not use it because they are not familiar with it, but

Under the mobilization of the members of the Carboniferous Association, many people took the lead in using honeycomb coal stoves. Now many people have seen the benefits of this kind of stove and have started to take the initiative to buy stoves and go home to install them. I believe that in another month,

As the weather gets colder, most people in Chang'an will use our honeycomb coal stove."

"Okay! Xijun, you did a great job!" Li Yan heard that the honeycomb coal stove was promoted so quickly, and immediately praised him. He handed over all the matters of the Carboniferous Industry Association to Wang Xijun, and the honeycomb coal was proposed by Li Yan.

So the promotion of this matter fell on Wang Xijun, and she didn't expect that she did so well.

"Haha, actually this is nothing. Our honeycomb coal burns clean and affordable, and with the cooperation of each company in the association, if I can't even do this well, wouldn't I have the expectations of your Highness?" Wang Xijun

Hearing Li Yan's praise, he said with a hint of shame on his face.

"Haha~ No matter how good the things are, they cannot cover up your contributions!" Li Yan laughed and asked proudly, "By the way, what is the reaction of the Wang family in Taiyuan?"

When Wang Xijun heard Li Yan ask this question, he was also shocked. Although the Wang family was born in the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Xijun had no favoritism for the Wang family in Taiyuan because of his grandfather's affairs, so he used coal mines to attack the Wang family in Taiyuan.

It seems very positive.

"Your Highness, now it is estimated that the Wang family in Taiyuan has received news about honeycomb coal, but because the time is too short, there is no action yet. However, I think the subsequent plan we have prepared should be implemented." Wang Xijunyi

He said excitedly.

"Well, how are you preparing for that plan? How do you plan to do it?" Li Yan said with some concern. When Wang Xijun saw his plan for the Taiyuan Wang family, he was immediately thrown aside and said that he didn't understand anything at all.

He called Shang Zhan, and then he personally made another plan, and Li Yan only knew about the contents.

"Don't worry, Lord Li of the Patent Office, has already submitted a memorial. I heard that the matter has been approved. In addition, all the companies in the association have been prepared and people have been sent out. As long as Lord Li gets into trouble, he will be in trouble.

, the news will be spread immediately, and then we will wait and see the lively atmosphere of the Wang family in Taiyuan!" Wang Xijun said fiercely. She was a woman, and she had never received favor from the Wang family in Taiyuan. Her father Wang Zihao was because of her grandfather's

On the contrary, she suffered a lot in front of the Wang family in Taiyuan, so revenge on the Wang family in Taiyuan was indeed a very regretful thing for her.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news then!" Li Yan also said excitedly. For the first time, he met this thousand-year-old family. Even if he was the prince, he still felt an uncontrollable nervousness.

"Yeah!" Wang Xijun nodded. She was not nervous at all, but was very excited. Then she stopped and said, "Your Highness, the perfume sales have been very popular these days. Do we want to expand production?"

Since Li Yan brought the perfume to his mother Yang Fei last time, the name of perfume has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty aristocratic class, especially those who love beauty, through the mouths of several eldest princesses and princesses who attended the banquet.

He was extremely eager for perfume. For example, Princess Jiangxia and Princess Hejian came to Li Yan to visit and ask for perfume. As a junior, Li Yan didn't dare not give it to him, but only gave it to him.

Li Yan didn't want to spend too much energy on the luxury of perfume, so he handed it over to Wang Xijun and asked her to set up a small perfume workshop based on her original craftsmanship, and the perfume prices produced were also extremely priced.

Gao, but he still underestimated the madness of women. The perfume produced in the perfume workshop could not meet the market demand at all. Wang Xijun has requested to expand the production scale more than once.

"Okay, it's OK to expand production, but you must control the quality, don't produce any inferior perfume, and try to divide it into three levels: high, medium and low. Since you want to do it, you must use the rules of this industry.

Set aside." Li Yan thought for a while and said, it was not that he didn't want to make this money, but he didn't have much time now, so he didn't want to be entangled by such unrelated matters. But judging from the current situation, he

It’s not possible to do it.

"Don't worry, your highness, I understand!" Wang Xijun said happily when he heard Li Yan finally let go. As a businessman, watching countless money without making money is the most painful thing.

When Li Yan picked up the perfume, he suddenly thought of something he had already told, so he asked, "Xijun, did I find the person I asked for the reward of Qianguan last time?" (To be continued)
