Duan Qing, I heard that the Ministry of Industry has made a lot of profits recently! "
"Your Majesty, I heard that this happened, but it was all earned by the work of the Ministry of Industry." Duan Lun said with a smile: "And the lower official is the one who earns the most."
"Oh, I heard that it depends on who works more and gets paid more. Can Duan Qing compare to those young men from your Ministry of Works?"
"Hahaha!" Duan Lun laughed proudly: "If you compare me with strength, of course I can't compete with them at my age, but if I compare them with brains, I'm really not afraid of them."
"Stirring the soap solution was originally the most tiring job. At first, several people stirred until their hands were foamy. However, I made a stirrer based on the transmission device of the keel waterwheel, which not only saved labor, but also greatly increased the efficiency. "
"So Yinshan Hou paid Chen a patent fee according to the patent law. From now on, every time a bar of soap is sold, Chen will also make a profit."
Duan Lun talked about how he made money in front of Li Shimin, but he was not worried at all.
This was originally agreed with Li Shimin that their Ministry of Industry could use this winter leisure time to make some money, and because he got the patent fee, it greatly stimulated the group of subordinates in the Ministry of Industry. In just this month, the Ministry of Industry Everyone has improved several technologies. It can be said that the atmosphere of technological innovation in the entire Ministry of Industry is unprecedentedly high.
He handed over a brochure today, which mainly talked about the benefits brought by several recent technological innovations of the Ministry of Industry.
The meaning is also very simple, just tell Li Shimin, although we seem to be making money in private, we have not delayed our business at all, and we have also produced a lot of good things for you.
This also completely verified the importance of Tang Ping's patent decree at that time.
"Where is Tang Ping? What have you been doing recently?" Of course Li Shimin knew the recent situation at the Ministry of Works, and was quite proud of his decision to send Tang Ping to work at the Ministry of Works.
"Yinshanhou has been running back and forth between the refugee area outside Chang'an City and Baishui recently. One is to treat the refugees, and the other is to ensure the safety of the refugees who are harvesting ice in Bashui."
Li Shimin nodded after hearing this: "Hey, resettling the refugees was originally a matter for the imperial court, but it is really difficult in the Tang Dynasty this year. My internal treasury has been used up, and the needlework in the palace is now Guanyin. The maid and the concubines are doing it themselves."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Oh, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to fix these nonsense. What's the use of a saint? In this position, it is natural for the people to live a good life. This should have been a busy matter for the court, but Tang Ping was The child did it."

After finishing speaking, Li Shimin said to the servant beside him: "Pass on my decree and ask Chang'an County to send people to guard the Ba River to ensure the safety of the ice-picking refugees."
"Send some people from the Imperial Hospital to cooperate with Tang Ping to treat the refugee patients outside Chang'an City."
In fact, refugees have existed in all periods. After all, in the ancient Chinese farming society, once there was a natural or man-made disaster that affected the harvest of the fields, with the productivity at that time, people without surplus food could only become refugees and flee to more prosperous places to see what they could do. You cannot earn a living and survive.
Although the Tang Dynasty was also in charge, as Li Shimin said, due to financial reasons, it had more than enough ambition but not enough power.
But Tang Ping was different this time. He just threw out a bait, and then like a lever, he gathered all the wealthy businessmen in the city.
It is true that Datang is located in the land of four wars, but this geographical location also illustrates their commercial importance.
Maritime transportation was underdeveloped in this era, so the centrally located Tang Dynasty was the center of business for merchants from surrounding countries. In addition, the Tang Dynasty had not yet officially implemented commercial tax, so these merchants had already made a lot of money over the years.
Businessmen pursue profits, and if they want them to spend money, they must see the benefits they can get after spending money.
Tang Ping gave him a benefit that no one could refuse, which was what brought about the current effect.
After all, even these businessmen have a sense of luck. Although there is only one first place, why can't this one be me?
Besides, if you don't steam the steamed buns, you still have to fight for your reputation. Even if you don't get the first place by then, if shopkeeper Wang on your left gets 20,000 votes, shopkeeper Li on the right gets 30,000 votes, but he only gets 2,000 votes.
Then I couldn't raise my head for a long time.
It would be even more troublesome if you encounter a shop next to you that competes with you. After all, we are all in the same industry.
Sure, when people in Chang'an were shopping, they found that their store was much worse than the store next door during the ice lantern competition. Then would they doubt the strength and reputation of their own store?
Therefore, in this battle involving the strength and reputation of each company, no one wants to lose. Even if they cannot win the first place, they must not lose to their peers.
Under such circumstances, all the young and strong refugees outside Chang'an City were recruited away.
And what should so many refugees do if they need to eat? If they usually give out porridge, open a porridge shed and send one or two people to guard it.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But that's not possible now. Not only do these people work hard, but what they eat directly affects their work efficiency.
Since you have spent money to hire people, why bother to save so much food?
So many people simply invited many women and elderly people among the refugees to cook on the edge of Ba River.
In this way, the refugees can continue working immediately after eating their labor without any delay.
Because of this ice lantern competition, 70% to 80% of the entire refugee camp outside Chang'an City was gone.
Moreover, the owners of these shops found that although their expenses have been a bit higher recently, why did the revenue in the shops also increase?
After careful calculation, I discovered that many of them were refugees who came to consume the food.
After all, their business covers all aspects of the lives of the residents of Chang'an City.
The refugees can now have enough to eat and have some wages in their hands.
So isn’t it normal to buy some food and nutritional supplements for the elderly and children at home who are unable to work?
There are also those who work hard and earn a little more money. It is normal for their daughter-in-law to pull two feet of cloth to make clothes for the New Year!
When these refugees have their wages, they will naturally buy some necessary daily necessities for themselves first, so a lot of the money they give goes back to their own shops.
They don't have a specific concept of economic circulation yet, and they just feel that there doesn't seem to be much loss in this matter.
After all, I just spent some money to buy food for the refugees.
"Mr. Tang, I am really impressed by your move!" Fatty Liu followed Tang Ping at the gate of the city and sighed sincerely.
In the whole plan, he was actually Tang Ping's shill.
The good thing was that Tang Ping agreed to give him a few large iron pots, and then asked his cook to work in his Xihe Building for three months.
Don't think it's just an idle job, but if a restaurant owner in Chang'an knows that there is such a good thing, he may be able to break the threshold of Tang Ping's Xihe Building.
What I have learned in these three months can improve my restaurant by several levels when I return home.
"Hahaha, shopkeeper Liu deserves the award. It all depends on everyone's support!"
Tang Ping himself was in a good mood.
