When Tang Jian returned home, he heard the servant report before he recovered from the shocked state.

"A Lang, some guests are visiting."

"Who?"

"Male Li Mu, Jingyang County."

"Li Mu?"

He still knows a little bit about Li Mu's background, and there are many bigwigs standing behind him.

It's not a simple young man.

And it is said that Taihuang's private swimming pool was made by him.

Although Old Tang didn't quite agree with Li Mu's devastating things.

But at the same time I had to admire his ability, at least the sorbet, Tang, was very good.

It smells so good!

"Invite him in!"

Old Tang still ordered people to invite Li Mu in politely.

After Li Mu entered the door, he was very polite to meet him.

"Mu has seen Duke Tang!"

"Li Jingyang is exempt, please come to your seat."

"Tang Gong, please."

Then the two began to enter the Rivers and Lakes mutual blowing mode.

After blowing for about fifteen minutes, Li Mu began to get into the subject.

I saw him take out an exquisite wooden box.

The box is made of sandalwood, with fine carvings and a smooth red color. You can tell at a glance that this box must be very valuable.

"Tang Gong, a small gift, no respect!"

Tang Jian frowned when he saw the box.

Regardless of whether the contents are expensive or not, this box alone is worth enough.

What kind of thing is it worthy of being installed with such an expensive sandalwood box?

Old Tang suddenly expressed interest.

"What does Li Jingyang mean?"

"Present, from Duke Tang."

"give me?"

Old Tang originally wanted to refuse, after all, this matter looked like bribery.

However, based on his curiosity about the contents, he still took the box in a ghostly manner.

"What is it?"

"Duke Tang opens it and you don't know it!" Li Mu said with a smile.

Tang Jian glanced at Li Mu, then opened the box, then his expression changed.

"This...what a treasure is this? It's so radiant, it's so beautiful!"

I saw eight small and exquisite cups in the box, all of different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, plus one pure white.

Not only is the shape exquisite and unique, but the color is pure and flawless.

"It's fine if Duke Tang likes it. This thing is called Bazhen Cup. If Duke Tang likes it, you might as well keep it and play with it slowly. Don't have any fun!"

Tang Jian is also a person with status and status, and his family has been prominent for generations. From the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the present, he has never seen any kind of treasure.

but!

He really hasn't seen such treasures!

Didn’t he have seen the porcelain from the official kiln of Datang, but compared with this radiant Bazhen cup, it’s really rubbish!

Tang Jian took one of the pure white cups and carefully admired it.

"Extreme! Did you do this?"

"As you can see!"

In fact, this thing is the kind of teacup that Li Mu introduced to Li Shimin at the meeting in Jingyang County Manor.

It's just that it's mass-produced now, and there are more varieties, not limited to tea cups, pots, dishes and plates.

Tang Jian liked it the more he watched, and he took a closer look at each one, and he looked good no matter how he looked at it.

And not only does it look good, but it also feels very valuable.As a person who can sit on the position of Shangshu in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, will Tang Jian's business vision be poor? It must not be bad!

People from the Ministry of Civil Affairs are not only capable of collecting taxes and accounting, they also have to manage money, otherwise how can taxation alone satisfy the Great Tang Empire's North-South War.

Therefore, the Minbu Shangshu who does not know how to manage money is not a good Shangshu.

Obviously Tang Jian is definitely not a mediocre person. There are so many famous officials in Datang Zhenguan. Why can the photos of Old Tang occupy a wall in Lingyan Pavilion?

Of course it is based on ability! Is it possible to rely on luck!

Therefore, Tang Jian could tell at a glance that this thing is profitable, or the kind that makes a lot of money.

"How much can you produce such treasures?"

"As much as you want."

Tang Jian shuddered, and immediately let go of the cup in his hand.

Fortunately, Li Mu had practiced, so he took advantage of the situation and caught the cup steadily.

Otherwise, this whole set of cups would be imperfect.

"Fortunately, there is Li Jingyang! Fortunately, there is Li Jingyang."

Tang Jian took the cup carefully, and kept talking about it.

"Duke Tang has taken it." Li Mu gave him the cup with a smile.

After Tang Jian satisfactorily admired the Bazhen Cup in his hand, he raised his head and asked.

"Li Jingyang specially sent this precious things to the old man today, I think I have something to ask for!"

Li Mu said with a smile, "Tang Gong, do you think that if this thing is sold to the Western Regions, how much profit will it get?"

"Don't lose silk."

Li Mu nodded, secretly saying that he was in charge of money, and had a good vision.

"So, what do you want to do?" Tang Jian continued to ask.

"I want to build a road, a cement road that leads directly to the Western Regions."

"Building roads? Is it the proposal of Taihuang to build roads, which you advocate?"

"Exactly."

"Then Li Jingyang knows that this road construction is very expensive, and the treasury may not be able to support it!"

"Dong Tang, the structure is smaller. This is called investment. To make money, build roads first. This is a basic exercise."

"..."

Then Li Mu pointed to the Bazhen Cup in his hand and asked him to think about it.

Tang Jian had been instructed by Li Yuan before, and of course he knew that the money for road construction could be repaid by subsequent exports.

But, that's what happened later. It's true that these things can make money and return blood, but it's not that they can return blood immediately!

The money from the national treasury was spent all at once. If there is no money for a long time, the consequences will be very dangerous, OK?

He didn't dare to be stunned by Li Yuan, but Li Mu would not hesitate to point out the problem directly.

So he asked the question.

Li Mu heard it, hey! This is also a matter.

"Tang Gong, listen to me."

"What is Li Jingyang's opinion?"

"Have you ever heard of Tang Gong?"

Old Tang was dumbfounded, especially the old man had never heard of it.

"Also ask Li Jingyang to teach me."

"It is to cooperate with private companies, let them pay together with them, and then after the road is completed, give them a certain degree of convenience, such as free on the road or something."

When Old Tang heard it, hey, I'm going. It's okay, this is absolutely impossible.

After the road is repaired, cargo transportation will definitely become much more convenient, and these businessmen will definitely be interested.

Anyway, the businessmen also want to go on the road, so that everyone is convenient and has their own gains.

But then Old Tang thought, what if someone is unwilling? Could it be that they can be forced off the road? This is against public opinion!

So Old Tang asked with a worried look, "Then what if some firms are unwilling to pay? I can't stop them on the road, right?"

Li Mu smiled slightly after hearing it, "Go, why don't you let it go, just collect money, set up toll booths, pass tolls, and there is a long flow of water. If you still lack money, you can make a yearly package, so you can get the money quickly."

Damn it!

Tang Jian suddenly felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

So it turns out that building bridges and paving roads can still be fun like this?

Can't help but praise with a thumbs up.

"Li Jingyang, you still understand this aspect!"
