Tangyuan speaks skillfully. When comparing his father and his grandfather, he used the word "hard-working son". This is not a lie. The emperor's grandfather knew very well how diligent he was when he was in power.
Next, Tangyuan talked about the major events during the reign of the emperor's grandfather. His expressions of admiration and adoration were always revealed, and occasionally mixed with a few words from the three giants. Of course, they were all complimentary. He said that if it weren't for the emperor's grandfather's reign,
With the foundation laid during this period, how could Beitang become what it is today?
Hearing these words, Lao Ming's heart was surging for a while, and the past events were flooding his mind. Indeed, when he was in power, he had devoted all his energy to the Northern Tang Dynasty. He never dared to indulge in pleasures or indulge in anything.
The slightest bit of arrogance or excess may cause you to lose your composure.
In addition to being excited, I couldn't help but love Tangyuan even more. This child is really a gifted speaker.
Tangyuan saw the doting look in his eyes, changed the subject, and said, "By the way, Grandfather, I heard that the entire mountain behind Meizhuang is made of white marble, is that right?"
Speaking of this, Lao Ming's eyes dimmed. He originally bought Meizhuang from his uncle because he was deceived by these white marbles, thinking they were jade.
"Hmm!" He mumbled.
Tangyuan smiled and said: "Congratulations, Grandfather. How much silver does it cost to make a whole white marble building?"
"It's not worth anything." Lao Ming said uncomfortably.
Tangyuan's eyes widened, "How could it be worthless? Now that the Northern Tang Dynasty has become rich, rich merchants like to use white marble to build railings, fine sculptures, and even bowls, cups, and tables when building and decorating their houses.
Nowadays, everything is hollowed out, and the emperor’s grandfather is really rich and powerful if he sits on this one.”
In the past, white marble was only used in the construction of palaces and palaces of princes and ministers, but it was not a strict rule. But now it is no longer a strict rule, and it can be used as long as there is money.
The main purpose of Tangyuan's visit this time is for this mine. Of course, appeasing the emperor's grandfather is also a very important task.
Tangyuan said: "Now the East Palace is being renovated, and white marble will be used. If it can be mined from here, the cost can be reduced. Of course, it is better not to disturb the peace of the emperor's grandfather."
Having said this, he changed the subject and asked about the health of the imperial grandfather and the condition of the concubine Hu. The exchange of greetings made Lao Ming call him "well-behaved, sensible, and filial." The young old man and the ten are incomparable, really incomparable.
At night, Lao Ming lay on the bed, thinking about Yuan'er's words over and over again.
Now he has no shortage of money, but no one can have too much money. Especially during his reign, money was always in short supply, which created a sense of urgency for him to make more money as long as there were channels to make it.
In fact, that mountain was really an irritating existence for him. He didn't even want to walk over there. He felt heartbroken just by taking a look at it. If he could dig it up and sell it for money, he wouldn't be fooled by his uncle.
He didn't understand business matters, but it didn't matter, Yuanyuan understood. He knew that Yuanyuan had already started doing business, and she was doing very well in the border town.
So the next day, he immediately called Tangyuan over to discuss and contract the mine to him. He would just share the share and not worry about anything else.
Tangyuan looked flattered, with tears in his eyes, "Grandfather, do you trust your grandson so much? Your grandson will definitely handle this job well and earn you more money."
There was no need for him to refuse anymore. Doing business requires such a final decision. Now that the emperor's grandfather has spoken out, he will not go back on his words.
Moreover, confirming it at once would reassure the emperor's grandfather, because his courage could be seen from this assurance.
In the next two days, Tang Yuan only served the emperor's grandfather. After serving him well, he went to see the mine. This not only gave the emperor the grandfather the impression of a businessman who was not just a businessman, but also made him feel that he was serious about this matter.
Three days later, Tangyuan left Meizhuang. The contract had been obtained. He signed a contract with the emperor's grandfather, authorizing him to dig the mine. After deducting all the costs of mining, the account was divided into three and seven, he was three and the emperor's grandfather was seven.
It is actually not easy to get the 30%, with full supervision and sales. However, there is no need to worry about the sales. He can even sell it at a high price, because this is the hilltop where the Supreme Emperor lives.
Dragon spirit!
Tangyuan believes that except for feelings, which cannot do business, everything else can be done. With the protection of dragon energy, there will be production if there is demand.
He plans to sell plum blossoms later.
Of course, this is only the first step. After establishing a firm footing, we still need to develop some long-term manufacturing industries. This chapter has been completed!
