I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Since there will be no obstacles, what about other thoughts? Zhang Nuo, who has been a small boss, knows very well that don't talk about friendship, relationship, ideals and other things with employees, just give money and it's over.

After work, people just chat a little more when they are familiar with each other, and if it doesn't work, just keep in touch with work. Is it really possible to create a big company and family?Who really believes it!

Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether the subordinate has any other thoughts. As long as he does the job well within the specified scope, does not violate the regulations and has a good performance, does he have any other thoughts? It's none of my business!

Zhang Nuo didn't care about the warm atmosphere in Zhuangzi. What he wanted to prepare for now was the cooperation conditions for the upcoming cement workshop. This was what he needed to consider.

After all, this is an important matter that determines how many partners and suppliers he can have, and there is no room for sloppy.

Time passed slowly amidst everyone's nervousness. Early in the morning, Li Shimin even messed with the court meeting and ended it hastily. Then he ran out of the city impatiently with his eldest grandson Wuji and Du Ruhui.

Fang Xuanling on the side smiled wryly at His Majesty's hurried appearance at this time, and he regretted it now, because when he met Zhang Nuo for the first time, he was so eloquent that he talked with Zhang Nuo. Something unpleasant happened.

At that time, he didn't care, he was just a tavern owner, and he couldn't be offended, even if he was a friend of His Majesty's common people, he was a bit talented, so it didn't matter, after all, he had seen many amazing and talented people, and he could really go to court After all, there are still a small number of high places, and even if you go to the top of the court, as a senior and a superior, the other party has to be honest.

It was precisely because of this kind of thinking that Fang Xuanling didn't care about the conflict with Zhang Nuo, and didn't make up for it immediately afterwards. In the end, it was a wrong step!

He thought that Zhang Nuo, who wanted to enter the court and was subordinate to him, had no intention of entering the court at all, but even if such a person was not in the court, he could still use his influence on His Majesty, the royal family, Changsun Wuji and others Li and his talent set off wave after wave.

Establishing newspapers, setting up new policies, promoting commerce, offering immortal food, all of these things have really affected the court, not to mention single-handedly caused the decline and desolation of the behemoth Taiyuan Royal Family.

Such a person who has a huge influence on the royal family and the entire court, he was offended so much, and he was offended terribly, and even because of offending Zhang Nuo, he was not as close to His Majesty as before. .

After all, among Li Shimin and the group of most valued courtiers around him, he was the only one who had a bad relationship with Zhang Nuo, which made it difficult for the small group to take him with him, so he had no choice but to leave him alone. He became the most special person in the small group.

What people are most afraid of is to live as a single husband. He is the only one in the whole group who has a bad relationship with Zhang Nuo. Even Du Ruhui's violent temper has a good relationship with Zhang Nuo, so Zhang Nuo can't be blamed.

After all, if Zhang Nuo was responsible for the conflict on the spot, then he has not made up for the relationship afterwards, and the responsibility must be on his side. After all, Zhang Nuo at that time did not know the identities of these people at all. I can't find anyone to talk to!

Now seeing this group of people smiling and walking out of the city, he is really envious and regretful!

Moreover, he vaguely knew the news that Xingben had visited the palace once in the past two days, and asked His Majesty to bring all the close officials there this time. He heard that it would bring some benefits to the family, so he asked His Majesty to rush over to discuss it. .

When Fang Xuanling heard the news, he felt like his guts were about to turn green.

Chapter 422 Promotion before the competition

No matter how Fang Xuanling regretted it, at least at this moment he could only watch Li Shimin happily run out of the city with a group of people.

Thinking that he might miss an opportunity to improve his family's strength and get close to His Majesty this time, Fang Xuanling suddenly felt a bit of a stomachache. It seems that he still has to find a way to ease the relationship with Mr. Xiao Zhang, otherwise he might miss it if he continues like this. more.

At this time, Zhang Nuo, whom he had been thinking about so much, was looking at Li Shimin playfully,

"Lao Li, when did you release the news? There are too many people! If you bring more people, I'm afraid there will be more people watching the ceremony than there are scholars doing business today. Already!"

No wonder Zhang Nuo teased Li Shimin, he had indeed arranged for Xingben to notify Li Shimin before, and probably said that he would bring in some families to participate in the cement workshop, but he never expected that Li Shimin would do it so ruthlessly So many people come!

In his opinion, profit distribution is the worst job to do, and if you are not careful, it will turn the original good thing into a bad thing that offends others.

So, he left the matter to Li Shimin without hesitation, but he didn't expect that Lao Li was going to make it more difficult for him. With this bustling crowd, is this Nima here to be a partner or to visit the market?

Li Shimin rubbed his nose and said a little embarrassedly,

"I can't help it. I heard the news from Xingben before, so I thought that everyone can make money anyway. I happened to drink a few more drinks that day. The news spread more and more if I was not careful!"

Zhang Nuo was also speechless, but he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, his appeal was there, mainly to solve the supply problem of his own building materials, and making money was secondary.

Li Shimin naturally knew Zhang Nuo's thoughts, but he was a little excited that day because he was greedy for drinking, and he said something without paying attention, and the thief was so embarrassing at the moment.

However, after all, Li Shimin is also a master who can toss a large group of courtiers in the court without overturning. After thinking for a while, he said directly,

"Brother, how about this, you first introduce cement to them, and then I'll talk about the rest!"

Zhang Nuo nodded, this was an agreed arrangement in itself.

Just hearing that Li Shimin has been calling himself "I" today, he knows that there must be some people in this group who are not that close but have to bring them here. Otherwise, Li Shimin would not call himself that, after all, he has always called himself "my, my" in front of him. of.

Just when Zhang Nuo was thinking to himself, Li Shimin looked at the bustling crowd in front of him and said directly,

"Everyone, I came to Lantian New City with you today. One is to witness my first inaugural competition, so that everyone can experience this new selection method. It can be regarded as an eye-opener and also to understand some of the new policies of Lantian City. !"

"The other point is that Zhang Nuo, my righteous brother, made some small things to make money. Let's take a look together. If you want to add some property to your family, you can talk to me then!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhang Nuo, Zhang Nuo nodded and walked to Li Shimin's side, looked directly at the crowd and said,

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Nuo. I'll talk about the inaugural competition later. Let's go outside and see the real thing first! You'll know how to judge when you see something!"

After finishing speaking, he and Li Shimin went directly to the door!

Changsun Wuji was the quickest to respond, he just walked away, but he knew that Mr. Zhang's business has not only made a lot of money, but also only cooperated with His Majesty. Now that he has such a good opportunity, he must not Let it go, who still dislikes a lot of money, it's all serious money business, don't you hurry up and get your hands on it?

Changsun Wuji's reaction was fast, and others' reactions were not too slow. Even if he didn't know what the business was, it was always right to see, maybe he could get something?

Both Zhang Nuo and Li Shimin didn't mind the noisy crowd behind them. Speaking of which, the person who came today, Zhang Nuo, had just heard a brief introduction from Li Shimin, so he really has all kinds of birds and people.

There are confidants like Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui, leading generals like Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, and royal relatives like Li Xiaogong, not to mention a family head like Zheng Shanguo!

That's right, even the family is here, but Zhang Nuo doesn't care, and neither does Li Shimin, as long as there is no trouble, the family is also a member of the Tang Dynasty, why can't they come?

Anyway, Zhang Nuo has already figured it out, he doesn't pay a penny, he only pays for his skills, and how much he can get back depends on Li Shimin's gossip!

Zhang Nuo led the crowd to the small square in front of the door, and after everyone had come to him, he pointed to a pile of things beside him and said,

"Everyone, the pile of ash around me is a new product produced by my workshop here. It is called cement. As long as it is mixed with sand and gravel, it can basically be solidified in one night!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Nuo pointed to a set of stone tables and benches on the other side and said,

"This set was made yesterday. You can take a look at it. The other side was just made in the morning. Don't start it. Don't touch me, because it is in the solidification stage."

"The craftsmen who are working are making ready-made cement. You can also take a closer look!"

How could everyone be in the mood to listen to Zhang Nuo beeping after hearing this, it is reasonable to see things quickly. Although what Zhang Nuo said just now is miraculous, everyone still believes that seeing is believing.

Then I saw a group of high-ranking court officials and dignitaries, like old peasants in the countryside, gathered at the stone benches that had been made and scratched and touched.

But the solidified stone bench that Zhang Nuo had clearly stated not to be touched just now was already in disrepair, with handprints all over it, which seemed to be left by dishonest people.

As for the craftsmen who were working honestly just now, they were almost stupefied at this time. A large group of nobles who could not afford to offend were surrounding them and asking all kinds of questions, so that they didn't know Where to start answering.

To put it bluntly, after tossing for a long time, this group of talents finally stopped. In fact, there are not so many routines, it is nothing more than they have completely determined the effect of this thing.

As long as the effect is confirmed and it is really useful, then they will be more thoughtful!

Li Shimin also knew that it was time for him to play a role, so he directly pulled him back to the venue just now and said loudly,

"Everyone, you have seen the things of Brother Zhang. I can clearly say that this thing is the best material for building cities or roads. Even if it is building a house, it is stronger than ordinary houses. market!"

Chapter 423 Li Shimin's Fingering

Li Shimin dragged the ministers, patriarchs, and Xungui to discuss matters, while Zhang Nuo leaned on the side with his hands behind his back to watch the show!

His own workshop must be fully supporting the construction of his new city, but he can't just send it directly to the city. After all, he doesn't own the city alone, and the public has to have the account no matter what.

But when there was no money in the public treasury in the early stage, he must be the one who paid in advance, but even so, he had to make a clear account, even if it was left handed and right handed, he had to figure things out.

But since it involves a transaction, there must be a price and profit, and these will have to be arranged slowly.

However, none of these matters. The most important thing is the output. The daily output of his workshop is still frighteningly low. Which cement factory in the future does not produce tens of hundreds of tons?Here he is still calculating every catty.

This is something that can’t be helped. Currently, it is a rough machining mode that is mainly manpower and supplemented by hydraulic facilities. The efficiency is indeed not high. When the steam engine comes out later, the output will definitely increase rapidly.

Li Shimin looked at the noisy crowd at this time, smiling like an old brave, this shit is money, he had already agreed with Zhang Nuo, he came forward to deal with these things, but all the benefits he got today He divides into [-]%!

You can get [-]% of the profit just by talking about it. It's no wonder if you don't want to be tempted. This is also the intermediary fee that Zhang Nuo specially offered for fear that Lao Li would not care about it.

"Everyone, you have already seen the effect just now. In the future, this cement will definitely be used by all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty. It will be used to build roads, bridges, cities and houses, and even make something like my virtuous brother. Everything is indispensable!"

"And I have made it clear that in the future, Datang will definitely have to build fortresses on the border, and in the territory of Datang, it will gradually use cement to pour roads between cities, let alone build houses, so you don't have to worry about the amount!"

"But there are two problems here. You are all ministers of the Tang Dynasty. There are some conflicts of interest on weekdays because of your own property. It’s clear where Fangjian is selling it!”

"In addition, you don't have to worry about the production side of the workshop. The virtuous brother of the craftsman will provide it, and even let a craftsman from the workshop come to teach. As for the scale, it is all up to you!"

"However, who will cooperate with the first batch depends on your sincerity. I think that at the beginning, not many people knew about this cement, and most of them were used by officials, especially my virtuous brother. It takes a lot to build a city, so I think the first batch will be ten!"

"Everyone can think about what conditions to use in exchange for this craft!"

What Li Shimin said was very straightforward. This is to share the cake, but before sharing the cake, you have to pay an entrance fee to Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo.

But as long as they pay the entrance fee, they can produce and sell cement within their sphere of influence, and everyone has a place they are familiar with.

Generally speaking, it is the hometown or the place where the family made a fortune. As long as Li Shimin nods, after getting this craft, can't the local cement be purchased from them or other places?If that's the case, the freight alone will be unaffordable!

Everyone's thoughts changed for a while, this is indeed an opportunity to make a fortune, and this business can be done for a long time just by thinking about it, it is not a one-time deal.

After all, His Majesty doesn't need to say it, just think about it, just for road construction, the Tang Dynasty has such a vast territory, how much cement is needed for the main roads between Everbright cities?

Not to mention that there are other uses such as city walls and houses, this is simply an industry that can be passed down from generation to generation!

No one who can get into this scene is stupid, even if he thinks slowly, there will never be something that he can't understand.

After all, that kind of idiot who can't turn his head around has been killed long ago!

However, no one expected that Zheng Shanguo, the patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang, would be the first to make an offer. The old man saluted with a smile and said,

"Your Majesty, my Zheng family in Xingyang is willing to build a cement workshop in my hometown in Xingyang. First, we will build a big house for ourselves, and then help the surrounding villages and towns to repair the roads!"

"Except for personal use, if the local government wants to purchase, [-]% lower than the market price is feasible? As for Mr. Zhang, my Zheng family can not only contribute a sum of money to purchase technology, but also willing to contribute [-]% of the future!"

It's good that Zheng Shanguo didn't speak, but everyone was stunned when he spoke, and then there was the sound of sucking air one after another, this damn is too cruel!

This offer is not for business, this is simply doing good deeds!

They are not stupid, and they think very clearly. Among these conditions, building a house for the Zheng family in Xingyang is an explanation to their own family, and building roads locally is an explanation to Li Shimin, and at the same time, it is also a complete reputation in the local area.

As for the final cash plus share, this is a real cut of the flesh, but I have to say, this decisiveness coupled with this comprehensive bargaining chip, is the first one to speak, presumably His Majesty will not refuse .

Sure enough, Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard Zheng Shanguo's words. He didn't mean to refute at all, and said directly,

"Zheng Qing really deserves to be the patriarch of the family. This decisiveness is admirable. I will be the master for my virtuous brother. The cement production and sales in Xingyang and its surrounding areas will be given to the Zheng family!"

Zheng Shanguo smiled and cupped his hands, which is considered a promise!

When the others saw that one family was settled so cleanly, they were a little anxious. This nima agreed that there would be ten families. If one family was settled at the beginning, wouldn't there be only nine families left?

You must know that the spheres of influence of many families here actually overlap. After all, there are still a few places like Xingyang that have been run by the Zheng family for hundreds of years, and only the top families of many generations can do it.

In a city like Chang'an, the market and sales volume must be the largest, but there are also many families. Although Changsun Wuji and other courtiers all have their hometowns, in fact their most influential place is in Chang'an.

But no matter how big the Chang'an market is, and the yamen are all here, how much can it eat?You can't buy it here and ship it to other places for use, right?

Therefore, without Li Shimin's urging, the representatives and heads of other families spoke almost at the same time.

"Old Cheng, I've been working in Chang'an. I want to buy and sell in Chang'an City. The conditions are the same as the Zheng family's!"

"I want Fan Yang from the Lu family, and the conditions are the same as the Zheng family's!"

"My eldest grandson's family..."

Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo looked at each other and smiled, come on, the fish are all hooked!

Chapter 424 Confirmed Cooperation

Li Shimin's move is not incomprehensible. Originally, Zhang Nuo was only selling the technology, and it was purely a technology investment. At most, it would be good to get a technology transfer fee.

But Li Shimin, the two-way dealer, in order to sell things at a good price, instantly came up with a condition that technology and the market are bound.

In fact, this is nothing but a white wolf with empty gloves, even if the technique is simple.But in fact, those who buy this technology are all famous families, which one is not in their own sphere of influence?

Even if Li Shimin doesn't speak up, are there really other forces that dare to lick the tiger's whiskers?

But after Li Shimin said this, these families had to admit this condition, because this was said by the emperor Li Shimin, and what the emperor said was golden words.

So as long as you don't make people angry and complain locally, you'll be fine, just do a good job in this industry honestly, and you can definitely make money.

It was precisely because of this that the representatives of these families were so excited, and they really believed in Li Shimin's empty-handed white wolf move.

Of course, Li Shimin also played a trick, that is, he didn't give these people time to go back and discuss slowly, and he spoke directly on the spot, and created a tense atmosphere by reducing the quota.

You must know that one person counts the short and the other counts the long. Maybe this group of people will find the loopholes in it after going back and discussing with the elders in the family, and even unite to lower the price.

Therefore, Li Shimin didn't give them a chance to go back to discuss at all, and directly spoke on the spot and made a decision on the spot.In this way, naturally everyone can only take out the biggest chips to fight.

The result was not what Li Shimin expected. They were all insightful family leaders. At this time, they would not hesitate at all, and they made a final decision.

And the deal of the Zheng family in Xingyang became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Originally, the Zheng family in Xingyang could have united to lower the price by virtue of tacit understanding, but now that the Zheng family in Xingyang has become the first person to eat crabs, the balance has been lost. broken.

They are all old foxes who have been around for thousands of years. Who doesn't know who? If there was a tacit understanding of joining forces before, then everyone's mind is to strengthen their own family and weaken other families at the moment!

The same family, although there are differences in size, but everyone's purpose is the same. I hope that the family will continue to pass on and prosper, but the market is so big and there are only so many places. It's like sailing against the current. One more bite can make others eat one less, so how can it be possible to give in?

Amid all the turmoil, ten places were finally confirmed!
