Chapter 266

Qin Huaidao sat there making tea, waiting for Zhang Liang to finish reading the memorial.

"Boping, this? Can you agree?" After reading it, Zhang Liang took the memorial and went to Qin Huaidao's side.

"Well, I don't have the confidence to agree or not, so I'm not sure, so I'll show you my uncle first. Many of the workshops in the Ministry of Works are very good. Why can't we create benefits? Instead, we have to pay for the Ministry of Works to get in?" Qin Huaidao sat there, looking at Zhang Liang and asked. He was mainly considering this aspect.

"Your Majesty will not agree to the Ministry of Works going to business. You must know that the court still has many restrictions on the businessmen!" Zhang Liang said to Qin Huaidao,

Qin Huaidao heard this and nodded. The Tang Dynasty still had restrictions on merchants, but there were not as many restrictions as those dynasties in later generations. It just means that the children of merchants cannot be recommended, but they can still participate in the imperial examination.

However, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, there were more restrictions on this area, but there were no one yet.

"Well, but businessmen are very important. Without businessmen, it is not enough to rely on collecting agricultural taxes in the court. Everyone knows this!" Qin Huaidao sat there, nodded, and said to Zhang Liang.

"Well, personally, I think it's OK. The Ministry of Works does represent the most advanced technology of the Tang Dynasty, but I don't know what His Majesty and the ministers in the court mean?

Even if His Majesty agrees, I guess the ministers of the court will not agree. This is called competing for profit with the people, and it is not OK." Zhang Liang sat there, thought about it, and said to Qin Huaidao,

Qin Huaidao was sitting there thinking, saying that it was indeed a bit of a fight for profit with the people, but said that this profit was not from ordinary people, but from those rich people, and the products produced by the Ministry of Industry were not affordable to ordinary people.

On the contrary, more workers can be hired, such as paper mills and printing factories, which employ a large number of workers. Moreover, the people around them will cut off dead branches and dead grass to sell money, and even wheat straw can be sold for money, which is equivalent to increasing the people's income.

"Boping, I don't think this memorial can be passed!" Zhang Liang continued to say to Qin Huaidao.

"Hey, why can't it work? If our Ministry of Works really makes products and put them outside to sell them, I believe that I can definitely buy them at a good price and will also make profits. Uncle, what do you mean is that those ministers will object?" Qin Huaidao sighed and then asked Zhang Liang.

"Of course I will object. In fact, you think about this matter simply. Think about it, whose houses are from those aristocratic families! If they were asked to go out to make money, why didn't the aristocratic families gather those craftsmen back?

The second one is to talk about porcelain. The aristocratic family also has porcelain kilns. Do you think that if the royal family releases porcelain, does not mean that they have robbed the aristocratic family of their business? If so, why did the aristocratic family let those craftsmen in the royal family?

The royal family's requirement is that everything must be the best, and this best is actually supplied by aristocratic families from all over the country and merchants. On the other hand, if you want to steal their business now, can they agree?" Zhang Liang sat there and explained to Qin Huaidao. At this moment, Qin Huaidao understood why the ministers disagreed.

"Oh, it seems that I'm thinking is too simple. There are so many tricks here." Qin Huaidao looked at Zhang Liang with a wry smile and said. He was thinking in his heart that this matter should be done. Since it requires the consent of the aristocratic family, then find a suitable opportunity to talk to the people of those aristocratic families, and see if they can convince them.

"Forget this memorial, don't send it to you, it's useless!" Zhang Liang waved his hand to Qin Huaidao and said.

"Well, then I won't give it to you, but it's not OK to spend money like this without a source of income." Qin Huaidao sat there and said to Zhang Liang.

"It's okay, the Ministry of Civil Affairs gives it to you. You don't have to worry about such a thing. The Ministry of Revenue will definitely give it to us. If you do what you do, it will probably be in chaos." Zhang Liang said to Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao could only nod helplessly.

"However, if it is a new workshop that the aristocratic family does not have, then we can launch it and sell it for money. But now your paper mill and printing factory are all taken by His Majesty, and it should actually belong to the Ministry of Works! Now it is the ink workshop, which is considered to have made some money for the Ministry of Works." Zhang Liang sat there and said to Qin Huaidao,

Qin Huaidao laughed in his heart when he heard this, and joked, if it was something he had made, why would he put it in the Ministry of Works?

Besides, Li Shimin would not agree to be placed in the Ministry of Works. His treasury was not enough, so he wanted to have more investments.

Soon, Qin Huaidao left the Ministry of Works and took Liu Xiaoli away. After instructing the servants to send him back, he returned to the mansion.

Then he plunged into the study and started drawing the drawings. This time, Qin Huaidao needed to cooperate with the aristocratic family and the others, and he also needed some money. The two mansions were built next year, but they would need to spend a lot of money to decorate.

The next day, Qin Huaidao sent a manager to Liu Pingzhong's mansion to pick up his grandfather. Liu Xiaoli and Liu Pingzhong came with him. After they arrived outside the mansion, his grandfather and others got off the carriage.

"Such a big mansion!" My grandfather stood in the square outside Duke Hu's mansion, looking at Duke Hu's mansion, and said in shock.

"It's even bigger inside, covering an area of ​​more than 200 acres, with more than a dozen yards, as well as a back garden, rockery pool, etc." Liu Pingzhong stood there and said with a smile.

"Grandmaster, please come in there. The young master is probably waiting for you now!" The manager said with a smile at them.

"Well, okay! Please, please!" Grandpa said happily. Soon, they arrived at Qin Huaidao's front yard. Qin Huaidao also received a notice and came to welcome him to the front yard. Among them were Qin Jiao, Qin Shandao and Wu Mei.

"I have met my grandfather! I have met my second uncle and my eldest cousin!" Qin Huaidao stood there, taking the lead in bowing at them and saying.

"I have met Duke Hu and Duke Kaiguo County in Licheng!" Liu Pingzhong stood there and replied, saying, the same was true for his grandfather.

"Hurry, please, please, please, please!" Qin Huaidao said to his grandfather and the others with a smile. Soon, the group arrived at the front hall and sat down separately.

"Come on, have tea and have some snacks. My grandson is unfilial. My grandson has come to Beijing, and I don't know!" Qin Huaidao greeted my grandson.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's enough to have this heart!" Grandpa said happily, and also looked at Qin Huaidao's living room. This living room is quite large, with sixteen pillars in the middle, which can place twenty or thirty tables!

"Wait a minute, I'll take my grandfather around, go back and come here to play at any time. I've already told the butler and the doorman." Qin Huaidao said to his grandfather.

After chatting for a while, Qin Huaidao took them around the entire Qin Mansion. Even if the old man likes to see such things, he can't sit still!

He stayed with his grandfather until lunch, but he didn't go back, and Qin Huaidao also plunged into the study.

I have been busy for half a month. At this time, it was already very cold outside. Qin Huaidao's study and bedroom had already burned the stove!

On that day, Qin Huaidao was painting something, and Cheng Chusi and the others came over. They also knew that Qin Huaidao had not left the mansion for a while. Not only did Cheng Chusi come, but the eldest princess also came along, and Liu Renshi.

"Young master, the eldest princess and the eldest prince E are here!" The housekeeper knocked on Qin Huaidao's door and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, okay, bring them here!" Qin Huaidao heard this and said directly to the butler. He also cleaned the drawings on the table, and Wu Mei also helped to clean up. After a while, the few of them came in.

"I've seen it, well, I've seen my elder sister, good brothers!" Qin Huaidao bowed to them and said.

"It's okay, I remember it!" Li Lizhi came in and looked at the study room, and said with a smile that she was the first to come in.

"Boping, what are you busy with? You haven't come out for ten days!" Cheng Chusi asked directly after coming in.

"Hehe, I'm busy making money!" Qin Huaidao laughed. He was indeed making money.

"I'll just say that my father gave him the order before, asking him to start a big business within a month and cooperate with the aristocratic family. During this period, he must have been thinking about this matter in the mansion, and you still don't believe it!" Li Lizhi said and sat next to the tea set.

Wu Mei hurried over and started preparing the things to cook tea. Now she doesn't use charcoal, but uses a stove, and there is no end to use the water in the stove.

"Come on, sit down, sit down. I originally planned to find you guys to come tomorrow and discuss this matter. You guys are here." Qin Huaidao asked them to sit down, and they also sat down.

"What are you doing? Tell me. We were originally here to ask you to go hunting in autumn. In a few days, Your Majesty will go to the western suburbs to hunt. We will all go there at that time! Let's come and ask if you are ready here!" Yuchi Baolin sat down and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Hunting?" Qin Huaidao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then thought, isn't it time to hunt?

"Yes, let's go together. When the time comes, I will probably have to stay there for a few days." Liu Renshi also said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, okay, go, but before you go, you need to finish this matter!" Qin Huaidao nodded.

"Tell me, what do we need to do? You just need to command it. You don't have to worry about other things." Cheng Chusi also looked at Qin Huaidao and started talking.

"Okay, in the afternoon, we need to choose a place to build a kiln. These need to be built quickly. Before it snows, we need to do it. I see that it is about to snow this day." Qin Huaidao said to them.

"Go in the afternoon?" They heard it and were a little surprised.
