As soon as he entered the room, Qin Tianmin couldn't wait to inquire about what happened in the yamen today, and said with a concern: "My benefactor, Wu Hedong didn't make things difficult for you today. He is from the tiger class and has always been very noble!"

Lu Hong looked at this person and brewed tea calmly. He had a plan in his mind. Qin Tianmin was indeed a little capable. Just looking at his way of dealing with these people in the yamen today, he knew that this guy was an expert in the officialdom. However, he still didn't figure out what trouble this guy caused, and he was so troubled that he was chased... Such a plot in later blockbusters is not something that ordinary little trouble can explain!

However, it seems that this guy is pretty good at present. At least, Lu Hong thought that Qin Tianmin might be able to help him at the moment. This is a good choice... Thinking of this, he roughly explained the content of his conversation with Wu County Magistrate today. Of course, he was too lazy to say in detail about the details of the debate on the Westernization Affairs, but instead mentioned it in detail.

Lu Hong naturally didn't know that Wu Yuncai was born in Qingliu, but Qin Tianmin knew it. He was very surprised to hear that Lu Hong actually talked about Westernization with Wu County Magistrate. You know, although he had the reputation of a student in the vassal state, it was difficult for him to integrate into the Qingliu faction. However, officials born in Qingliu praised integrity and morality and respected Confucius and Mencius, but were extremely rejected by Westernization. Now in the court, this is something that everyone knows.

Incredibly, Lu Hong was able to convince the magistrate Wu County to even prepare to open the industries in Mengyin. He was not simple in his mind. After listening carefully, he immediately understood the significance of these industries to the local area. Moreover, he immediately realized that this news might be a life-saving straw for him...

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and a hint of excitement appeared in his expression, "Mr. I wonder if the industries you mentioned to Wu County Magistrate can be established in other places?"

"Of course, the two factors of development of industries, machines and product sales are crucial. After all, the industries developed need to be transported out for sale if they are replaced by real money. Fortunately, I see that the waterways in the Yimeng area are very smooth, which is the biggest advantage!" Lu Hong said calmly. In fact, most of his understanding of this era is still in the history books he read in his previous lives, so he hopes to learn more specific information from Qin Tianmin.

Qin Tianmin seems to be more interested in these industries than Wu County Magistrate. Lu Hong speculated that it is obvious that this must be related to the fact that he was hunted down. He is interested in learning about this matter now. Qin Tianmin looks like a scholar, so don’t be able to get rid of the big trouble, that wouldn’t be fun!

Qin Tianmin pondered for a moment, but did not take the initiative to raise the topic. Instead, he asked in a deep and asked: "My benefactor, don't you know how long it takes to get profits in this industry? How much money does it take to invest? Please give me some advice!"

Speaking of this practical problem, Lu Hong naturally couldn't speak nonsense. After he had conducted some research on this super industrial system, he was somewhat surprised. The system will provide corresponding equipment drawings based on local minerals and resources. The lower the level, the simpler the mechanical structure of the system, and the lower the cost, but... this so-called simplicity is definitely not simple!

Take the M1 type coal precipitator as an example. This is actually a simple jigging coal precipitation machine. It uses the specific gravity difference and physical differences between coal and magazine gravel, sulfur to select the trough. To put it bluntly, it is actually a simple drum transmission device, which is a conical device with a large end and a small end. As long as any external force is used to traction, it can efficiently make the ore vibrate up and down in the transmission channel, and finally complete the industrialization step of coal precipitation!

The manufacturing of this drum transmission device is the core of the entire set of machinery. Most of the materials in other parts can even be made of wood!

Lu Hong looked at Qin Tianmin and shook his hand and said, "Young Master Qin, I'm afraid I can't tell you now. I need to find a skilled blacksmith, carpenter... and merchants familiar with the business around Wenshui! Do you have the right candidate?"

After Qin Tianmin nodded and went out, he brought a few people back in less than half an hour. The headmaster Qian Fatty, who was in Mengyin, also followed him happily. It was obvious that these three people were found by Qian Fatty, but this efficiency is indeed possible!

Among them, the strong black-faced man was the blacksmith Li Hegen. Lu Hong took him aside alone, took out a brush and drew a pattern of a drum-shaped transmission device on the paper, and pointed out several details of creating this thing. Li Blacksmith listened very seriously, calculated the size of the three parts of the device, and offered a price of 8 cents of silver, indicating that he could take out a sample tomorrow.

After drawing other wooden parts of this machine to Liu Dashi, the carpenter next to him, said that since there are many parts in the overall wooden structure, a chute device of at least 4 meters is needed. In this era, it would take at least two days to make such parts. Carpenter Liu offered a price of 2 taels and 5 coins.

In this way, the price of the M1 type coal preparator requires 3 taels of silver and 3 coins. One can basically be produced here in two days. Now, the direct factor of the efficiency of coal preparation is the power problem... Obviously, in this remote place, the only option is hydraulic power, which is completely no problem for Chinese people who have used hydraulic power for nearly 2,000 years. Liu Carpenter provided a pure wooden turbine, and the wood in the mountains is cheap, so he only drove 4 taels of silver.

The entire industry seemed to be very smooth, and Lu Hong also noticed the merchant who was called next to him, but he was also pricking his ears and listening very carefully. This guy was obviously not simple... Lu Hong only learned later that this thin man in his forties, who was white and long-faced, was actually Qian Yiduo, the cousin of the Qiang Teng. This Qiang Teng Teng Teng was well aware of the principle that the fat water did not flow to outsiders!

If the goods are exchanged for real money, they must be transported out through the merchant. The only thing Lu Hong knows about the domestic business environment in this era is the bad situation of tying up taxes. He asked Qin Tianmin a little before. As a result, this scholar who was born in the county magistrate also gave a rough idea, but this rough idea also made Lu Hong deeply feel the harsh business environment.

Shandong is also considered the Central Plains, close to the capital. However, in addition to the land tax clearly stipulated by the Qing Dynasty, there are no less than ten local lijin taxes implemented by Shandong. Moreover, each prefecture and county may have their own local policies to collect lijin in various names...

For example, when a county uses the excuse of building a bridge, it sits on the ground and collects money on the dock. It is called "bridge" and "department store" that can also be levied. When the goods arrive at the land, they will be levied immediately. "Production and sales" will be levied immediately. As for the levied, the levied, the tax, the goods, the unified tax, the unified tax, the goods tax, the transit sales tax, the production and sales tax, the train and goods donation, etc., Lu Hong was stunned when he heard it. The wide range of taxation of this levied gold is rare in the history of Chinese taxation. It can be said that it is levied as soon as you see the goods, regardless of the size.

Therefore, as soon as Lu Hong opened his mouth, he asked Qian Yiduo two questions, "If Qian Zhanggui, if the county can produce crude coal and refined coal and go down along the Wenshui River, what places can be sold? How much profit can the goods be shipped to stabilize profits and shipments?"

He really wanted to hear this white and long-faced businessman talk about the business environment of this era. Obviously, this has an extremely important relationship with all the industries he is trying to get involved in. If the tax is higher than the profit, then what kind of transaction will it be! If that is the case, the development industry environment of this era will be too bad...

Qian Yiduo is definitely a top-notch business in Mengyin. If his cousin Captain Qian had not come to see him, he would not have bothered to get involved in this business. The Qian family made local delicacies, and they rely on the official brand of Captain Qian. With the Mengyin Mountain area, the mountain delicacies around the county town would be less likely to be involved in their family!

However, his vision is much more accurate than Fatty Qian. Fatty Qian looked for him purely because Lu Hong told the old-fashioned Wu County Magistrate to start the industry. He subconsciously realized that this industry is not simple, and that the Qian family should have a foot here... And Qian Yiduo's family business was also earned by him for more than 20 years, so he naturally knew the rules.

This is a good deal, but it must be a unique deal. Take their mountain delicacies in the dark, making money with this thing is really hard. If it weren't for the local monopoly of their family and ordinary merchants who operated this thing, it would be a business to make a living. Just the likin and commercial tax along the way could make people die.

He naturally knew that the young man with extraordinary temperament in front of him was the key figure in this industry. He stroked his goatee beard and looked up and showed an unfathomable look as if he was considering it. After a moment, he reluctantly said: "Mr. Lu, I thought it would be difficult to make profits in the industry you mentioned. Although this coal is easy to mine, what kind of fine coal can be made by your method. However, along the Wenshui and Yishui all the way to Haizhou, you will have no less than 200 miles of waterways. Just a tax break can make the transaction goats!"

Speaking of this, this guy sat there and looked like a good man who was innocent and innocent. However, Lu Hong immediately observed that this guy was not glancing at the suspicious expression of the money-captain opposite him. Moreover, this guy's words were too certain, and there was a big problem... I guess, this guy's words could only be trusted 50%! The collusion between officials and businessmen really responded to the old saying, "No one is good!"

In fact, Lu Hong really wanted to kick away the two cents of fat and thin. It should be more than just their family who can do this business. However, after careful consideration, it is still easier for the Qian family to promote the industry in the future. After all, the fat man has to give face to the Wu County Magistrate. To put it bluntly, these industries will still be operated in the semi-official and semi-official model in the future. The background of the official and business cannot be eliminated, and the Qian family has unique conditions!

However, these two guys were thinking of ways to indulge themselves and wanted to let themselves continue. This would have to teach them a lesson. He opened his mouth wide at Qian Yiduo, and pretended to be contemplative. After a while, he spoke: "Shopkeeper Qian, it seems that this industry cannot be built. Tomorrow, I have to go to Mr. Wu to discuss it and find some industries that are less profitable but easier to do!"

As soon as these words were said, Captain Qian and Manager Qian immediately wanted to slap each other, but when they thought of the previous words, they couldn't speak up and talk about the topic. It was not true that they would change their words and say that the previous words were just farts!
