    "See you, Your Majesty, Father!" Li Min did not expect Li Shimin to come, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted. Although Li Yifu had never seen Li Shimin, he reacted very quickly and followed Li Min to salute.

    "Haha, everyone, get up!" Li Shimin strode to the hall, sat down and smiled, "Yin'er, I didn't expect you to move so fast. The 'Cement Industry Association' will start recruiting people soon?"

    "Yes, Father, I just asked someone to post the notice. It is estimated that someone will come to consult this afternoon." Li Min said very confidently. Not only did he have people put up the notice, but he also asked some familiar people.  A letter was sent to the family, explaining the prospects of cement in detail. Under the temptation of such huge benefits, Li Min was not afraid that they would not be tempted.

    "Your Majesty, what's going on with the Cement Industry Association? This veteran is really confused?" Fang Xuanling asked with a puzzled look on his face. As the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't understand what Li Shimin and his son were talking about.  That¡¯s why I couldn¡¯t help but ask.

    "Oh, let Liulang talk about this. Last time, he only gave me a brief introduction. As for how to operate, I actually have only a little understanding of it." Li Shimin smiled after hearing this and pointed at Li Min.

    Li Min smiled, took the charter written on the table and handed it to Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others: "Father and all your lords, please take a look. This is the operating charter of the Cement Industry Association written by me. You can understand it at a glance.  ." Of course, Wen'er had to copy these regulations several times, otherwise no one would be able to understand what Li Min wrote.

    "Hey~, this this cement can actually be operated like this?" Fang Xuanling's face became more and more shocked as he looked at it, and he couldn't help but say at the end.  The Tang Dynasty paid more attention to craftsmen. Some craftsmen could still serve as officials with their superb skills. With this open attitude, craftsmen in the Tang government also made new inventions from time to time. These new inventions were generally made by craftsmen.  The Ministry organized craftsmen to produce and then promoted it to the world, but no one had ever used a brand-new model to promote it like Li Min.

    Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin were fine. They were military generals and didn't care much about political affairs, so they just looked at it but had no reaction.  But Changsun Wuji is different. In terms of talents, he is not inferior to Fang Xuanling. Unfortunately, his status as a maternal relative limits his power. However, his eyes are very vicious. He can spot Li Min at a glance.  Compared with the laborious and slow promotion of industrial associations by the Ministry of Industry, Li Min's method not only has quick results, but also costs very little. It can also bring a lot of profits in the future. It goes without saying which one is better or worse.  Metaphor.

    However, the better Li Min's methods were, the more gloomy Changsun Wuji felt. He and Li Shimin had been friends since childhood, and he knew what Li Shimin was thinking best. Now Li Min was performing more and more outstandingly, and  Li Shimin also valued his son more and more, which was definitely not good news for him.

    "A good way is to let others produce cement for us without spending a penny, and then choose the best. In order to win orders for road construction, those manufacturers will definitely try their best to improve the process and reduce costs. Liulang, you just need to do a good job in supervising them and not letting them  Just trade it off as a good one, it's really a good way to achieve success with one stone!" Li Shimin read the articles of association in detail, and although he had already understood some general information, he still couldn't help but admired it.

    "Hey, but what is this 'ton'? It seems to be used to calculate cement production?" Li Shimin suddenly frowned, pointing to the tons in the charter to calculate cement production and asked. He heard the word "ton" outside the door just now, and his heart  I had a question, and I just asked it now.

    "To inform my father, the cement output is too large and it is inconvenient to calculate it in stone, so I invented a new unit without permission, using 2,000 kilograms as one ton. This way the amount will be smaller and the calculation will not be easy to make mistakes.  ." Li Min replied that in the Tang Dynasty, the weight was usually calculated in terms of stones. One stone weighed only one hundred and twenty kilograms, which is 60 kilograms. The unit was too small, so Li Min borrowed the tons from later generations.  , although there are some differences between the current kilogram and the kilogram in later generations, Li Min can't control that much. Anyway, it is all artificially regulated. In the future, one ton will be two thousand kilograms.

    After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded repeatedly. He could not follow the old rules and dare to break the rules. He admired his son more and more.

    "Your Highness, although this cement association has many advantages, it is not without its shortcomings." Fang Xuanling thought carefully and quickly discovered the shortcomings. "If the cement production method attracts businessmen to fund workshops, then the cement production method  The method will inevitably spread, so who will join the Cement Association? After all, no one is willing to pay an extra patent fee."

    In Li Min's opinion, the reason why Fang Xuanling asked this question was because he still didn't understand what a 'patent' was, so he explained with a smile: "The Prime Minister doesn't know something. The so-called patent actually refers to exclusive rights. The Cement Supervision Institute is responsible for  Regarding all matters related to cement, only with the authorization of our supervising institute can merchants have the qualifications to produce cement.If someone produces cement privately, then our Construction Supervision Institute has the right to punish them. Generally, the workshop and illegal income will be confiscated, and a heavy fine will be imposed. Others will also be encouraged to report. If the report is true, then the illegal confiscation will be carried out.  Half of the proceeds are awarded to the whistleblower.  "

    Listening to Li Min's reply with a smile, Fang Xuanling and others felt a little cold. Li Min's punishment for those who secretly produced cement was fine, but the reporting system was extremely cruel, and half of the illegal income would be confiscated.  Rewarding whistleblowers does not mean that the larger the scale, the greater the chance of being reported.  Rather than taking such a big risk to produce cement privately, it is better to pay the patent fees honestly. After all, only one penny is charged for producing one hundred kilograms. Compared with the profit from cement sales, it is nothing.

    "What a good idea. After all, the cement belongs to the imperial court. It is my kindness to use it for others to benefit from production. How can I give it to those who want to get something for nothing." Li Shimin also expressed his support on the spot, but at the same time he also felt a little regretful. In the past,  After the new inventions promoted by the imperial court were produced by the Ministry of Industry for a period of time, they were initially very profitable. However, later the production methods would inevitably be leaked, and then businesses from all over the country would imitate them. The workshops organized by the Ministry of Industry could not compete with these businesses.  , in the end they could only survive on the few orders from the court, and some even closed down.

    Li Min's patented method is much better. He does not directly participate in production, but provides technology and collects patent fees. Although the profit is not as large as exclusive operation, it is very stable, and it can also uniformly manage the merchants involved in production.  .  If the operation of the Cement Industry Association is successful this time, then in the future, the government can promote new inventions according to this model.

    With Li Shimin's support, the last worry in Li Min's heart was relieved. He wanted to explain the operation process of the Cement Industry Association to them in detail, but Li Shimin felt a little heartbroken when he saw Li Min's red eyes and warned them.  He wanted to have a good rest and not be too tired, and then left with Fang Xuanling and others.

    Seeing that even Li Shimin also supported the establishment of the Cement Industry Association, Li Yifu, a guy who adapts to the situation, immediately patted his chest and promised that he would live up to Li Min's expectations and handle the affairs of the Cement Industry Association properly.

    At noon, he had a hasty meal at the Supervisory Building Institute. He hadn't had a good rest for several nights in a row. Li Min was really tired. Anyway, with Li Yifu watching over him, there would probably be nothing serious, so Li Min went back to rest.  I planned to have a good sleep, but unfortunately someone with no foresight came to disrupt the situation.

    "Liu Lang, why did you sleep in broad daylight? I brought my brothers to cheer you up!" When Li Min was about to fall asleep, a very familiar voice outside suddenly shouted, and then the room  The door was kicked open, and a group of people came in.

    Li Xun jumped up from the bed in fright, his mind suddenly clearing up. When he saw the person clearly, he gritted his teeth angrily and said: "Ninth brother, you came at the right time!" It was Li Yong and Li Jingheng who came.  , Yan Fei and more than a dozen friends, it seems that this sleep is impossible.

    "Hey, Liulang, you are really working hard as an official. I haven't seen you for a few days and you have dark circles under your eyes." Although Li Jingheng was fat, his eyes were sharp, and it was immediately obvious that Li Min was in poor spirits.

    "Well~" Li Min stretched greatly and then said, "If you don't work as an official, you don't know the hard work of being an official. These days have really exhausted me. Brother Jing Heng, you haven't seen me for a few days. It seems that  You've gained weight again, be careful as your uncle forces you to lose weight!" King Jiang Xia was born in the military and hated his son who was as fat as a caterpillar. He had asked Li Jingheng to go on a diet and lose weight more than once, but unfortunately he kept getting fatter and fatter.

    Hearing Li Min teasing Li Jingheng, Yan Bei and others burst into laughter.  Li Min knew why they were here. After everyone laughed, he said again: "I believe all the brothers have received the letter from the younger brother. They must be here for the cement today, right?"

    "Hehe, Rokuro, you are such a brother. You don't forget to give points to your brothers when good things happen. Why don't we all come to see you as the cement supervisor? We want to build the cement factory you mentioned as soon as possible." Yan  Fei said, waving his fan very coquettishly.

    "Isn't this difficult to handle? Isn't there a person in charge in the front office? Just go and get a contract and sign it. I will arrange it for everyone in the front. It will definitely be built earlier than ordinary people." Li  Xin said with some dissatisfaction, there is no need to disturb him now for such a trivial matter.

    "If we could squeeze in, we wouldn't have come to see you?" Li Yong grabbed the teapot on the bedside and took a few sips. Only then did Li Min realize that this kid's head was covered in sweat.

    "Squeeze in? Are there many people outside?" Li Min blinked. The notice was only posted this morning, and it has only been two hours. Could it be that the news spread so fast.

    "I'm dizzy, you still don't know, now you are supervising the buildingThe front of the hotel is almost crowded, how can you still sleep peacefully here?  Brother, I really admire you!  "Li Jingheng said with a thumbs up to Li Min with admiration on his face.

    "This this is too fast!" Li Min looked shocked, "No, I have to go to the front to see if anything happens again." Li Min hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on his shoes and ran out  , this Cement Supervision Institute is his territory, so many people came all of a sudden, he had to go and take a look no matter what.

    Li Yong and the others didn't pay attention, and Li Min ran out all of a sudden, but they hadn't finished their work yet.  After staring for a long time, Yan Fei shouted: "What are you guys doing standing still? Chase after us. We must let Liu Lang take care of our affairs first today."

    This woke everyone up, and they all ran out in a panic, but Li Min had already disappeared.  When they finally ran to the front hall, they found that the disheveled Li Min had been surrounded by people. Those people they knew were old acquaintances such as Cheng Huailiang and Li Jingye.

    "Brothers, rush for me, don't let the man named Cheng get the first step!" Li Jingheng saw this situation and was the first to rush forward with a wave of his fat hand. The others behind him also followed closely with fierce faces.  .  Although Cheng Huailiang and the others have reconciled, overt and covert competition is still indispensable. Everyone is hanging out in Chang'an City. Whoever can build the cement factory first will mean winning over others at the starting line.  There will be a greater chance to occupy more market share. At this time, let alone friends, even brothers have to compete.

    Li Min, who was in the center of the whirlpool, was complaining secretly. He ran to the front hall and saw a sea of ??people crowded together. He had set up ten offices, and they were all packed to the brim. Those at the front were all crowded.  They were servants dressed as servants or clerks, and their masters were watching anxiously from behind, shouting a few words to cheer for their servants and clerks from time to time.  The clerks at the back of the office were also very busy. After answering this and that, they had to push people off the table from time to time to prevent anyone from being squeezed to their side.

    Before Li Min could find Li Yifu, he asked what was going on?  As a result, they ran into Cheng Huailiang's group again. They had also received letters from Li Min. They came for the same purpose as Li Yong and others, and they all wanted to build the cement factory first.  So when I saw Li Min, I immediately stepped forward and surrounded him.  Before Li Min could struggle a few times, Li Jingheng and the others rushed in again. A group of people crowded together and made a lot of noise. Li Min's ears were almost deafened by the noise.

    Finally, Li Min couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Quiet! Just be quiet!"

    Fortunately, this group of people finally gave their brothers some face. They all behaved and stared at Li Min in the field with eager eyes. The scene made them want to eat him alive.  Li Min shivered and said with some embarrassment: "We are all brothers, what is there to fight about? How can I lose everyone if I have the advantage? We have something to talk about. There are too many people here."  , let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±

    Everyone also knew that it was useless for them to make such a noise, so they all followed Li Min to the backyard.  This is a place where you usually rest, and there is no living room. Li Min didn't care about it. He just found a pavilion and sat down. Cheng Huailiang and others also squeezed in, sitting or standing.

    ¡°Who can explain to me, the investment notice has only been posted for two hours, why so many people came?¡± Li Min asked eagerly, not caring about tidying up his messy clothes.
