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

This group of people not only has the need for cargo transportation, but also although they don't show their mountains and dews on weekdays, they pay attention to the set of keeping their wealth secret, but in fact their daily expenses are not small.

To put it bluntly, this is spending money on the lining. Don't underestimate these families. They are more or less collateral or direct descendants of top nobles or established families. The family's education level is very high.

They know very well what it means to shoot a bird in the first place and the citron in the first place to rot first, so they are really low-key on weekdays, but they are extremely meticulous in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. They are unassuming on the outside and comfortable on the inside. I don't know how many times lower-key than those upstart merchant families who have just risen.

It is also these people who are the first batch of customers of Datang Airlines, and their family business is generally not a common business that sells volume at low prices.

Their backgrounds are there, and they are a lot of top craftsmen who are well-informed and willing to invest. When Zhang Nuo just started technological reform and promoted new technologies, they got on the car immediately. , buy technology, send people there for training, and research and develop by yourself, all kinds of methods are used in turn.

Coupled with their own high-end contacts, they were ahead of everyone from the very beginning.

They don't have to worry about the sales of their products at all. Basically, they say hello in their small circle, and all kinds of products at home can be opened for takeaway, and various things such as linking payments and negotiating are much simpler than ordinary people. When the last two Patriarchs met and drank tea, they casually raised their mouths and passed away.

After all, after getting to their level, what matters more is face.

And precisely because their daily needs are much higher than the average person.Therefore, they were very calm about the seemingly frighteningly expensive airship fare.

From their point of view, Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo are the only ones in Tang Dynasty who can really call and ride airships anytime and anywhere.

Others, even if they are mixed up to the level of Changsun Wuji, it is impossible. It's not that Li Shimin won't give his brother-in-law a chance, but that this thing is too eye-catching. Except for Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo, no one dares to call it openly. An empty boat for my own private use.

And if it comes to public use, it’s nothing. There are dozens of airships currently serving in the army alone. At present, there are tens of thousands of airships in the Air Force, and most of them are masters who are almost tired of riding airships. , and on weekdays, if there is any urgent business in the court, then the official airship can also be called directly, and there are many people who have taken it.

But apart from these people, there are no people with public positions among the people, and there are even fewer people who have sat in these places. But who doesn't have a dream of flying in the bottom of their heart? I don't want to experience it.

So not long after Datang Royal Airlines opened, this group of people with money and leisure came here immediately, and as long as they took a few rides, they immediately fell in love with this feeling.

No way, compared with the most common horse-drawn carriages, trains, and ships, airships are not only much faster, but also much more stable.

Although there are already such things as train boxes, in fact there are still very few individual boxes. At present, the main purpose of the train is to transport goods. If it is transporting people, it is a bit uneconomical. The fare is too high for others to sit. I'm sorry, if the fare is too low, this side is not willing to pull it at all. It is much more convenient to pull an extra load of goods at that time?

Therefore, even if the officials of the court choose to take the train for business trips, they will at most take the first-class carriage with a slightly larger space. There are only a limited number of special train compartments that can lie down and sleep. People like Li Shimin and Zhang Nuo can use it, and others don't even think about it.

Moreover, although Datang is already doing its best to develop, the construction of the railway is not so simple. Before the future generations, the infrastructure madman spent decades on the construction of railway infrastructure. After all Although the land is vast and abundant, the problem brought about by this is that the difficulty of infrastructure construction is much greater than that of other countries.

The infrastructure maniacs of later generations have been made to plan one after another by infrastructure construction, let alone the current engineering strength that has just barely entered the semi-mechanized Datang.

We must know that Datang's current infrastructure construction relies more on manpower, which is not a bit slower than later generations, and it is difficult to think about it.

Chapter 949 Some Thoughts of Zhang Nuo

This time when Zhang Nuo came back, one of the important issues that Li Shimin wanted to discuss with him was whether to open the railway to private capital.

Although Li Shimin hasn't put the railway on a real strategic level yet, judging from the current shortage of trains in all aspects, this thing is very important, so whether to introduce private capital to accelerate the development of this aspect, to be honest Li Shimin I'm a little hesitant.

In the past few years, he has been silently attacking the aristocratic family, just wanting to take some of the lifelines of the court and the country from the people into his own hands, but now for some reason, he released another sweet pastry , This makes Li Shimin, an old Pixiu, reluctant.

But at present, the railway construction of Datang has been seriously lagging behind, which forced Li Shimin to find a way to find external forces to intervene to find a way to promote the development of railway construction.

Therefore, Li Shimin, who was in a dilemma, habitually began to urge Zhang Nuo to come back.

The matter of railway construction can be put aside. After all, this kind of matter still needs to be discussed with Li Shimin. It can't be decided in one or two strokes, it has to be planned slowly.

Zhang Nuo's main concern now is the Datang Royal Airlines landing site not far from his home.

Although the name is very high-end and elegant, but in fact, this thing is just a place that can't be more rudimentary.

A large open space is used to take off and land airships, and the two large warehouses next to them are used to park and maintain airships.

Other than that, there is only a very ordinary-looking house and a row of warehouses!

The so-called private houses are actually "terminal buildings". The current Datang Royal Airlines also takes off according to the time, because only in this way can standardized management be achieved.

And those warehouses are for temporary storage of goods. After all, airship transportation is still the most cost-effective way to transport high-value goods.

What Zhang Nuo is complaining about now is the so-called "terminal building". Zhang Nuo of Datang Royal Airlines did not participate. After all, he wanted to hide himself behind the scenes before. It's a yarn.

So he only has [-]% of the shares in it, and then put it in the name of a consultant, and this share is still going to be given to him by Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin was afraid that this business would go the wrong way. He naturally knew Zhang Nuo's concerns, and he supported this idea. The industry and assets are also huge, which can rival the national treasury.

But he knew that he knew, but when it came time for him to take Zhang Nuo's suggestion and let it go, he still felt that he had no idea. To be honest, the current Datang regards Zhang Nuo as a god in terms of business.

Anyone and any family knows a rule, as long as it is a property that His Highness Zhang Nuo, the King of Qin, is optimistic about, then go for it, and you will never suffer a loss. At most, it is a matter of earning more and less, and more depends on your family Ability.

But if you can get some advice from His Royal Highness King Qin, then it goes without saying, basically just wait to get rich.

The key is to cooperate with Zhang Nuo without worrying about those messy things. No one dares to go to the property of Prince Qin's Mansion to fight the autumn wind. It doesn't matter whether you are black or white. More than [-]% of the officials in the city were trained by Lantian City, so you know how much face Zhang Nuo has.

And when it comes to those street gangsters, let alone those who can get along better on the street, the leaders are basically old ranks from the army, and only those who are used to fighting can truly fight. Be ruthless.

But the more he comes out of the army, the more he understands the importance of the word "King Qin" in the army. Whether it's the active soldiers or the veterans who have retired, Zhang Nuo has the title of Marshal of the three armed forces in his left hand, and the active duty is strictly controlled. Yes, there is a support plan for disabled soldiers on the right hand side, which attracts retired veterans to death.

Not to mention Zhang Nuo's frighteningly high prestige among the people, but anyone who has a little thought about the property of Prince Qin's Mansion may be sold by the people below before they even make a move.

After all, Zhang Nuo himself didn't know how many people the support funds established under his name had helped, and how many people were talking about him.

It is precisely because of this that there is an unspoken rule in Datang's shopping malls at present, that is, it is best to do business with His Highness Qin Wang in partnership, secondly to be able to be guided by His Highness Qin Wang, and the last is to participate in some industries that His Highness Qin Wang is more optimistic about. Or industry.

These things are not on the surface, but every businessman who aspires to expand his business knows it well.

Although Li Shimin is not a real businessman, he is well-informed, so he has heard of these things that have been circulated among the merchants for a long time, and he even quite approves of them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be begging for nothing, and forcibly gave Zhang Nuo the shares of Datang Royal Airlines, which no one else could grab.

Isn't it just to let myself have a bottom line in my heart, so that I can use this matter to block the door when the time comes.

As for the effect, seeing that Zhang Nuo just landed on the ground of Datang Royal Airlines, Zhang Nuo started to actively think about it.

In fact, from Zhang Nuo's point of view, this share is nothing, even if it was obtained without spending a penny, it is actually nothing to Zhang Nuo.

Perhaps in the eyes of other people, this is a big advantage, but to Zhang Nuo, it is nothing.

In the absence of a stock market, no listing or delisting, no stock trading, and no formal investment and financing, a little stock is a little bit of wool.

He knew what Li Shimin meant, and he just wanted to tie him up to come up with ideas. The reason why he finally accepted it was because he hoped to see more and more new things with his brand appear, which would give him a feeling of returning to 2020. illusion.

Of course, at present, it is impossible to return to the level of 2020. Today's Datang has not even entered the electrical revolution.

But for Zhang Nuo, at least for now, Datang is really moving towards his goal at a fast pace.

With this point, that's enough. As for a little bit of hard work, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Anyway, I only need to move my mouth, and the rest is done by others.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo was observing and pondering as much as possible, and wanted to give everyone an explanation!

Chapter 950 Is Li Shimin crazy?

The news that Zhang Nuo is coming back has been widely known a few days ago. After all, this is not top-secret news. If it is in the past, the route and time of the commander-in-chief’s return and return are definitely highly confidential. Ambush halfway and then give it to a pot.

But Zhang Nuo's here is flying high and high, flying in the sky all the time, who has the ability to go up and mess with him?

Zhang Nuo is the only one who has the ability to attack the air. He can't take out something and kill himself.

Of course, the main discussion at this moment is not whether Zhang Nuo can be killed from the sky, but because Zhang Nuo is back now, the young and old in Chang'an City and Lantian City are more or less unable to sit still up.

We are a nation that pays attention to human relations. In many cases, whoever has more friendship in the same business will win.

But there is such a thing as human affection, what is needed is constant communication. In the past, Zhang Nuo either squatted at home or flew around Koryo, Zhongnan, and Fusang, basically invisible to people.

Now that it's finally the end of the year, when Zhang Nuo made it clear that he wants to stay at home, why don't everyone go for a walk?

After all, this kind of favor can only be put together if you come and go, and come and go.

No, not long after Zhang Nuo entered the door, some well-informed people came to the door directly. Zhang Nuo was actually very annoyed by these things, but sometimes these things were unavoidable.

For Zhang Nuo, a salty fish, the government affairs of the court and his own property can be hidden whenever he can. Anyway, he has no specific official position in terms of political affairs, and there are special managers below to take care of his own property. Can think of a way to be lazy.

But only in terms of interpersonal communication, you can hide from ushers and guests, banquet guests and so on, but this time during the holidays, others politely bring their family over to your house to congratulate you on the New Year. Is it possible to drive people out?

You know, those who are qualified to do this are all famous. If they really do this kind of thing, then they won't be able to hang out in Datang.

Therefore, even though Zhang Nuo's face is almost frozen from laughter and his brain is buzzing because of the wave after wave of guests these days, he still has to receive those who should be received.

In the end, he was so forced that he had no other choice, so he hid directly in the palace.

Zhang Nuo fled in despair. When he entered the palace and saw Li Shimin, Li Shimin was still wondering, why did this master come here?Did something big happen?

It's no wonder that he was puzzled, he usually went to find Zhang Nuo on weekdays, after all, no matter how good the relationship between the two of them was in the palace, there were too many people here, not to mention a lot of rules, how could there be Zhang Nuo there? The Prince Qin's Mansion is relaxing.

So generally, when there is something to discuss or the two brothers get together, Zhang Nuo is the one to choose. Whenever Zhang Nuo takes the initiative to come to the palace, it is either a courtesy call during the New Year, or there is some important event in the court that requires Zhang Nuo to come to attend. For a formal discussion, or something serious happened, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to come and discuss with him.

As a result, Li Shimin asked in surprise and found out that he was actually frightened to come here by the guests who came to the door. Li Shimin suddenly smiled very unkindly and became a fool.

Regarding Zhang Nuo's "tragic experience", Li Shimin had nothing to say. Some people like this kind of lively feeling, and others don't like it.

Zhang Nuo is naturally comfortable hiding in the palace. Although the palace is not as comfortable as his own small courtyard, it is still the place where the emperor lives. If it comes down, there will definitely be more people in the palace.

So adding it up slowly, the current palace is really not bad!

Zhang Nuo hid in the palace for the past few days, and it didn't mean that he just spent his days lazily. He took a thorough rest for most of the day, and after having a restful sleep, he directly dragged Li Shimin to start discussing things.

Zhang Nuo had been thinking for a long time about the issue that Li Shimin urged him to come back, that is, whether the railway could introduce private capital, but he hadn't come up with an idea on the way, and when he got home, he was confused by all kinds of bullshit. My brain was buzzing, I finally got to relax in the palace, but my whole body felt a lot more relaxed, and I had some ideas, so I took Li Shimin to have a good chat in this informal occasion.

"Old Li, I think it's better not to mess up the railway project for the time being. After all, after absorbing private capital, these people will always stuff people into it, and you still don't let people understand that people have invested money. ?”

"But if there are more people in Cyprus, who is this project worth? At the beginning, people may be relatively honest, but after that, will they find ways to increase their influence, will they find ways to let How much money does the project make?"

"But Chaotang, the fundamental purpose of Chaotang is not to make money, but to let the railway construction drive local development as much as possible, so there is a fundamental conflict between the two, what are you going to do?"

What Zhang Nuo said was very straightforward, and he directly brought the contradiction to the surface. Li Shimin also smiled wryly when he heard it.

Why doesn't he know this?But he was originally stubborn, and there was still a sense of urgency hidden in his heart. He always wanted to get everything done while he was in office.

But things are not that simple, just the various forces involved and the actual situation can make people think of baldness.

This time is actually the same. It is obvious that Datang is ahead of all the previous dynasties in terms of infrastructure construction, but Li Shimin is still not satisfied. In his opinion, he should speed up again. It is best to change from small to ten days in three days. By then, he will be able to retire with peace of mind.

So after he couldn't think of a solution by himself, he habitually called Zhang Nuo back.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Nuo slapped him back as soon as he opened his mouth.

Maybe human power can't fight against the destiny after all. Li Shimin couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought of this. After all, he can only be an emperor honestly. My good brother is not omnipotent.

Looking at Li Shimin, Zhang Nuo suddenly smiled wryly and shook his head, and finally he seemed a little enlightened, feeling a little bewildered. What's wrong with Lao Li?

Why did I talk to him about the project, how did it make it look like the two of them died forever and bid farewell on their deathbeds?

Zhang Nuo didn't have as many emotions as Li Shimin, he just had one thought, Lao Li is probably going crazy after being emperor for a long time, he needs to go out to relax!

Chapter 951 Zhang Nuo's Bad Idea

Is Li Shimin going to relax? Zhang Nuo doesn’t know now, but he knows one thing, that is, when he persuaded Li Shimin to open up a little more because of his brother, Li Shimin’s bewildered expression is true. I saw it.

Zhang Nuo wasn't considered to have a particularly high EQ, but at least he had a brain, which showed that the signal between the two of them was wrong when they spoke.

To put it bluntly, it's chicken and duck talking, not on one channel.

Zhang Nuo was immediately embarrassed, hey, it's rare to pretend to be a confidant elder sister once, but I didn't expect to be persuaded by the fuck, this is a bit of a thing.

But it doesn't matter, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's someone else who is embarrassed.

Therefore, Zhang Nuo simply leaned back very calmly, and then sipped a cup of tea.

Li Shimin had just been "enlightened" by Zhang Nuo for a long time, his brain was buzzing, he didn't understand why he was full of disappointment with the world, why did he feel that life had no glory?

He is the emperor, well, to put it bluntly, he is the most noble person in the world, and he is not a puppet emperor. There are many beauties in the Sixth Palace of the Palace, and there are also many powerful and virtuous ministers above the court. How can this be "full of disappointment with the world"?

It's okay, as long as Zhang Nuo is not embarrassed, anyway, Lao Li is used to being shameless, and he didn't feel how embarrassing it was, so he naturally followed the original topic.

"Brother, how do you think this railway construction will go down? Brother, the manpower that can be transferred here has really been removed, and there is really no one to find!"

Speaking of this, Li Shimin is also funny, smiling while sighing,

"You said it's only been a few years. When did it become so difficult to find a worker? My brother, I listened to your persuasion and stopped the corvee. I don't regret it, but this Where can I find manpower, even if the wages increase, I can’t find anyone, after all, everyone knows that railway construction is a hard job!”

"For many years, either in the barren hills or in the wild, what I do is the hardest work. The most annoying thing is that there are risks in this job, and it is easy to get injured if you are not careful, so ah, we can't recruit for this job. People are normal too!"

Zhang Nuo was taken aback when he heard what Li Shimin said. Hey, he thought like a conditioned reflex that this railway construction is a big project called for bidding by the state.

When he realized that he was still thinking according to the thinking of later generations, he suddenly realized, yes, why should Datang take such a thankless task.

If it is put in later generations, let alone later generations, even if it is placed in other countries, it will not be fully borne by the state. This is not just a matter of spending money, but mainly if the state wants to come forward to organize something. A bloated organizational structure is enough to cause headaches.

Not to mention that if the state controls the whole process from funding to construction, the quality will definitely be fine, but in terms of construction efficiency, don't even think about it, because all officials know a rule, that is, not making mistakes is more important than making meritorious deeds.

For such things as rushing to the construction period, there may be some credit for doing it well, but it requires a lot of people and the right time and place to cooperate, otherwise it will definitely not work out.

But if it is not done well, there will definitely be big troubles. Everyone knows that once an accident occurs in a construction project, it will be a big deal. It depends on how many people die.

So if something like this happened to the project he was in charge of, how could the officials in charge be left alone?

Now that everyone knows this is the case, how do these responsible people choose?
