"After the next dynasty, the minister will send a report to the person in charge of the fortifications in the lower government, ordering to send in the funds needed by the local government after the year, and the minister will lead the officials of the household department to review it carefully."
After Wang Zhu agreed, he added another sentence.
Other officials knew what Wang Zhao meant, and asked the people below to directly ask the household department for money. When the construction was completed, the household department could find which construction team could intervene. Depending on the local environment, the price of the materials for the bridge and paving construction was naturally different. It's hard to set a price for how much it is worth.
The most reasonable asking price of Datang is naturally the Zhengzheng Construction Group of the Zhang and Wang family, but it cannot monopolize all businesses. At the same time, because it is too reasonable, some people do not intend to use it. If the asking price is reasonable, there is no more extra money to spend. Bribery.
Thinking of Wang Zhao's many benefits, some officials also began to jealous. The main reason is that the money to invest in the new group of the Ministry of Industry has lost money this year. The only gain is sitting in a very bumpy car when going to work and after get off work.
Zhang Zhong took out the account and showed it. The record is very clear and the sales are good, especially toothpaste and soap. However, the group is not only responsible for sales, but also in charge of research and development.
The problem lies in the research and development. The toothpaste and soap group sold does not research and purchase, but purchases from another department of the Ministry of Industry. The purchase price is very high. The reason is that the research and development of toothpaste and soap is invested.
The new group does not study the things it sells, but it studies the application technology of diesel engines, such as tractors, such as generators. Today, all roads in Beijing are equipped with electric lights at night. This technology is first bought from the Ministry of Engineering, and then redesigned and consumed. Less diesel.
But after generating electricity, it doesn't make money, because the new group does not produce diesel engines, nor does it have diesel, not to mention wires and electric lights, which need to be purchased.
Then something happened again. Who will pay for the night lighting cost of each section of Chang'an? The people who walked are not responsible, and the shops along the road were not responsible. They could only be attributed to the imperial finances.
The finance provided the money to the new group. The new group calculated the electricity price per kilowatt-hour, and purchased the electric meters made by the Ministry of Industry, and installed them for the large households for free, otherwise they would not use it.
They all seemed reasonable. The electricity price was calculated, but something went wrong when it was used. The generator had to keep generating electricity, but the electricity that was sent out was not used all the time, which caused the consequence of oversupply. "Loss.
When the input is not proportional to the output, the sales of toothpaste and soap and rubber-soled shoes will be made up. The balance will be maintained. It is still the consequence of the Ministry of Industry kindly renting the power grid to the past. The new group is laying the power grid. At that time, there was not enough money to buy the wires of the Ministry of Industry, so I had to borrow money from Datang Bank.
Now the new group’s power generation “factory” and power grid are leased to the Ministry of Industry, and the money received plus the profit from selling other products can repay the bank’s loan.
The only consolation is that there is a car to go to and from get off work. Officials who are not sure about the details also follow the trend and invest money in it, even if they have to continue to invest after the original investment, the investment can still maintain the group's investment. Operate, wait for the day to make money, and pay dividends. If you don’t invest, you will go bankrupt, which is equivalent to drinking poison to quench your thirst.
Everyone's money is not rich anymore, so it is bound to be jealous of Wang Zhao's involvement in the construction of local fortifications.
Sitting on it, Li Longji also knew the small calculations of the officials below, but he couldn't control it, let alone control it. He looked at Zhang Zhong and wanted to see if Zhang Zhong opposed it.
Several others were worried about Zhang Zhong seizing power with Wang Zhu, and stared at Zhang Zhong with Li Longji.
What people didn't expect was that Zhang Zhong nodded and agreed: "Also, Wang Shangshu will lead the colleagues of the Ministry of Household to work hard."
A small number of people are relieved, and a large number of people are puzzled. Is Zhang Zhong stupid? His son Zhang Xiaobao didn't tell him the doorway inside
"Did you really agree?" Wang Chao couldn't believe it would go so smoothly, and asked in surprise.
"Naturally, oh, speaking of repairing bridges and repairing roads, this officer remembered something. Our Ministry of Engineering recently figured out a model. According to different geographical environments, there are different detection methods, and the building materials used are hot. Cement is used in places without horse racing, and asphalt is used in places where it’s cold. You can buy it from the Ministry of Industry in various places, and review them according to the actual conditions on the ground."
Zhang Zhong said solemnly.
"Huh?" Wang Zhao said in surprise, and proceeded according to Zhang Zhong's words. Once the audit was conducted, it would be difficult to cut corners. Who would dare to make small moves by the Ministry of Industry? "Can't you not use cement and asphalt?"
"Okay, but the service life to price ratio should not be much different from that of the road surface using cement and asphalt. The good news is that this year, our Ministry of Industry has produced more than 3,000 diesel engines. Jiedushi and Wang Deputy Jiedushi gave instructions and made small road rollers."
Zhang Zhong still looks serious.
Wang Zhu faintly felt bad in his heart and swallowed and said, "Is the road roller used to press the road?"
"Wang Shangshu is really amazing. You guess it." Zhang Zhong stretched out his thumb and gestured to Wang Chao: "This roller is easy to use. It is made of iron rollers. Due to the power of the diesel engine, it can't be done too much. However, It's absolutely no problem to press a normal road.
For example, one layer of gravel and one layer of sand, it takes too much effort to push and pull the roller with human and animal power. When the road roller goes up, the road... is level. For example, a section of the road is not a good stone, and a section of the road is a good stone. ,Very interesting. "
"Interesting, this thing is good." Li Longji made a compliment.
Wang Zhu was stupid, and he was cutting corners according to Zhang Zhong’s statement. He was able to deal with it by putting some crop stalks under the sand of normal road construction. Don't dent a large piece.
"Zhang Shangshu, is the cost of using the road roller high? I am afraid that the place cannot be used." Wang Zhu wanted to stop it.
“It’s free. There’s too much petroleum refining this year. Diesel, gasoline, asphalt, etc. are almost out of place. Because liquefied petroleum gas is not easy to store, it is used to generate electricity when it comes out, and it happens to be connected to the power grid.” Zhang Zhong smiled and said to Li Longji.
Wang Zhao's eyes widened, and he asked angrily: "Since there is so much diesel fuel that there is nowhere to put it, why is it so expensive to sell to our new group?"
"Because the production cost is high." Zhang Zhong put away his smile and answered honestly.
"Since the cost is high, why do you use the roller for others for free?" Wang Zhao asked again.
"Because I can't let go." Zhang Zhong explained.
Wang Zhu blinked his eyes: "If you can't let it go, why don't you give it to the new group for free?"
“That’s a commercial activity. Commercial activity considers costs and profits. The use of infrastructure is a function of the Ministry of Industry. It considers the people’s livelihood. If fees are charged, it should also be financial payment, and then use the taxation generated by infrastructure construction when the trade increases. To supplement the finances, the question is, does the Ministry of Households give me money from the Ministry of Industry
In fact, I am now sacrificing the income of a department to give you the Ministry of Households a long-term tax promotion. This is the contribution of the officials, technical and production personnel of the entire Ministry of Industry. "
When Zhang Zhong was speaking, he looked up at the sky forty-five degrees, his expression was old and majestic, old and great, and moving.
"Uh... Then, let me ask, you have been paying, where did your money come from?" Wang Zhao didn't think that Zhang Zhong's Ministry of Industry was wronged and went to the grave to burn the newspaper... That was a liar.
Zhang Zhong raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, then lowered his head and said softly, "Cooperate with other business groups. Not everyone can use electric lights. Candles and kerosene lamps are much simpler. Do you want paraffin wax? No, as long as it is processed oil, it will appear, which is very annoying, so I sell it when I get it."
"In other words, your Ministry of Industry and the commercial group you are cooperating with have been making money. Why is the group we invested in that has no money to make and always on the verge of loss? That makes us have to continue to invest in order to prevent it from going bankrupt.
You just said that your liquefied gas power generation is integrated into the power grid. Is it the power grid of our group? Did the money sold give us dividends? If we remember correctly, Xin Group is the first industry to have your son in but lose money, right? Your Majesty, your investment is also worthless. "
Wang Zhao finally grasped Zhang Zhong's handle, because the emperor gave the most money, so I have to mention it.
Li Longji waved his hand indifferently: "I don't care."
Wang Zhao was speechless, so he had to stare at Zhang Zhong.
Zhang Zhong sighed and said: "Yes, it means that my son Xiaobao is not completely invincible. There are also times of failure. The group's losses are accounted for. My Zhang is not embezzled. The power grid is rented by the Ministry of Industry. Liquefied gas power generation is not a charge for network access.
What's more, it did not directly generate profits on the electricity segment after it entered the network. Instead, the Ministry of Industry continued to invest in the capital to improve the electricity network. This year's Spring Festival may be able to see the effect. "
"I can prove that what Zhang Shangshu said is right." Hube Zuoji Langzhong Li Bai stood up and agreed with him. He had just been promoted for more than a month, with the fifth rank, and he could stand. Even when he was busy with work, he still insisted on going out. I made a lot of money after writing this book of poems.
"Stay while you go." Wang Yan took a look at Shi Xian and asked Zhang Zhong: "Since you can't make money, why does your Ministry of Industry want to connect the liquefied gas to the grid? Where is the electricity?"
"If the liquefied gas is too much to use up, of course we have to generate electricity, and some of it is sold to people who don't like burning wood, coal and biogas. We can't sell electricity and we can use it for pumping water. A large reservoir was built on the mountain in the eastern suburbs of Beijing. There used to be only a few small streams, but now it has become a lake."
Zhang Zhong pointed to the east to clarify his confusion, then turned his head and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, there is an artificial lake that can generate electricity when there is no electricity, and release water for irrigation when there is no water. It is winter. It’s freezing up, and many people go ice skating there, plus fish farming, so they don’t earn much money."
"Okay, very good, don't waste resources." Li Longji praised.
Wang Zhao quit, his voice became louder, and he asked: "Zhang Shangshu, you use the power grid to make money, why do you say that there is no profit? Where is the group's dividend?"
"When you make money, you also spend money, and the balance is balanced." Zhang Zhong replied confidently.
"How did you spend the money?" Wang Chao asked again.
"You need land to build a lake, so you don't need to spend money on the land?" Zhang Zhong asked rhetorically.
"Whose piece of land belongs to?" Wang Chao asked again.
"From the Ministry of Engineering." Zhang Zhong's voice was not small.
"Your Ministry of Industry has rented the group's power grid to build lakes on the hilltops of the Ministry of Industry. Why don't you have any money if you make money?" Wang Zhuo glanced around and waited for the officials who also invested the money to agree.
"The Ministry of Industry rents the power grid and it pays the rent. The renting of the mountain top of the Ministry of Industry is accounted for by the two independently. Does the new group's technical and engineering department pay for it? Now that the money is paid, why does the leased department of the Ministry of Industry not pay for the labor? The rent of another department of the Ministry? I have balanced my income and expenditure, and I have an account."
Zhang Zhong replied without waiting for others to say anything.
"But what about the subsequent profits?"
"That's another department of our Ministry of Industry. What does it have to do with your new group?"
"me you him… "
"Master Wang, forget, we can't play with them. Their son is Zhang Xiaobao, who is above the monopoly ranking list. As you said earlier, apart from the loss of the new group, have you seen when he loses money? Is it?" The person next to him gave Wang Chao a hand and whispered.
Wang Zhu's eyes were red, his mouth slumped, and he said grievously: "Didn't Zhang Xiaobao say that he was wrong with Datang's internal play methods. What must he do to bully us in such a large area abroad?"
"People say it's not playing tricks against the people. At the beginning, we were in the Ministry of Industry? It forced Zhang Zhong to eat badly and sleep unsteadily. A group of children from Beibei fought back at the time. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't move. At this moment, hey... Who said they had become kind?"
The persuader also looked sad.
Li Longji, who was sitting there, felt that Wang Zhao and the others were very pitiful. He sighed and said to Zhang Zhong: "Are there many fish in the lake? It's the New Year, it's time to eat and play, right?"
Zhang Zhong understood, and said quickly: "Exactly, in addition to the fish that you can't finish, there are freshwater crabs. They are all made into drunk crabs. Wang Shangshu, I will give you five hundred catties first, and I will give you 1,000 coupons for skating. You can take them for free and play as you like. Next year, we will continue to work hard to make the group as profitable as possible. What do you think?"
"Didn't the Ministry of Industry say that there is electric heating? It's getting colder this year." Wang Chao knew that no matter how hard it was, it would be useless, so he had to retreat to second place.
"Yes, ten for one family, and the electricity bill is waived, which is considered a dividend." Zhang Zhong agreed.
