Chapter 1124 Muchuan inadvertently revealed the plan to build a factory, Li Tai intends to lure Muchuan into the pit
Chapter 1124 Muchuan accidentally revealed the plan to build a factory, but Li Tai deliberately lured Muchuan into the trap
Muchuan nodded and said: "It is of great help. The ore concentrator and the steelmaking plant complement each other. Once the steel plant is built, labor from nearby villages can be absorbed into the ore concentrator for preliminary screening of ores."
"At that time, we in Luoyang City can also increase a lot of tax revenue, and we can also solve problems that are beneficial to the people.
Your Highness, what do you think of this idea?"
"Wonderful! The Luochuan brothers are really powerful. This is a good idea."
Li Tai clapped his hands and praised.
Of course Li Tai would like Luochuan to build more here.
Although Li Tai didn't really understand the so-called people from this factory and that factory.
But he knew that the factories built by Muchuan would definitely be beneficial to the development of Luo City.
Luo Chuan said: "Since His Highness agrees, I will prepare now and try to put it into use within a week."
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you! We, the people of Luoyang City, are blessed."
Li Tai said excitedly.
Luochuan handed over his hands and was about to leave.
Suddenly Li Tai shouted: "Wait a minute, Brother Luochuan, stay here."
"What are your orders, Your Highness?"
Luochuan asked.
Li Tai smiled and said: "I still need help from Brother Luochuan on something."
"Your Highness, please speak!"
"Do you know how many mines we have in the northern mountains of Luoyang City?"
Li Tai asked.
Luo Chuan said: "You know, these mines were newly built a year ago, and now they can dig out 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of iron ore and coal."
Luochuan has long been interested in these mines. He plans to produce steel materials from these places in the future, but the current output is not too large.
But the problem is that these mines do not belong to Luoyang County Government!
It's a private mine.
Li Tai's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "That's good, brother Luochuan, I want you to be responsible for the mining of these mines.
These mines can mine tens of millions of kilograms of iron and coal every year, which is a huge fortune."
Li Tai thought to himself that those mines were controlled by well-known thieves in Luoyang.
Li Shimin had repeatedly ordered Li Tai to suppress the bandits, but Li Tai felt sorry for his 100,000 troops and refused to take action.
Muchuan arrived just in time, and Li Tai knew that Luochuan had 50,000 troops.
If we use his help to kill those thieves and then mine these mines, we won't be afraid of others getting a share of the pie.
Li Tai has been looking at these mines for some time.
The iron and coal reserves here are astonishing and prices are low, making them some of the most profitable places.
This time I asked myself to find an excuse to let him work. After all, steelmaking must be made after the steel plant is built, and this mine must be recovered.
In this way, Luochuan will go to suppress the bandits no matter what.
Luo Chuan sneered in his heart: "As expected of the royal family, they are quite thoughtful.
Are you trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Luochuan said calmly: "I'm afraid I'm not qualified."
When Li Tai heard this, he immediately became furious and dared to refute my reputation.
But he didn't show it.
Li Tai said calmly: "What?
Don’t you want those mines?”
Luo Chuan said: "It's not that I don't want it, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get it. After all, these mines are private."
Li Tai said: "This is not a problem. I will just give them money. Brother Luochuan, you must agree to my request this time."
Luo Chuan cursed in his heart, it's your grandma's fault, this Li Tai is simply a black-hearted guy, let me take the blame.
Li Tai continued: "Brother Luochuan, I know what you are worried about, don't worry.
I promise I won't treat you badly.
This time you help me get rid of the bandits, and the mine will be yours! Not only that, I will also give you five million taels of silver to transform the place!"
"Five million taels!"
Luochuan was shocked, this Li Tai was really willing to spend money.
Originally Luochuan wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it. He was living under someone else's roof, and he said he wanted to follow him last night. Could this be considered a test?
Besides, you don’t have to pay for the renovation anyway, so why should I refuse?
The only difficulty is probably that you need to lead your own troops to suppress the bandits.
Looking at this posture, this group of thieves has a good fighting ability, otherwise Li Tai would not let them continue to operate in Beishan.
So he said: "This is natural!"
However, Luochuan believed that the soldiers under his command were definitely much stronger than these thieves.
"Haha, okay, then I'll leave this matter to Brother Luochuan."
Li Tai said.
Then, the two people looked at each other and laughed.
Seeing Luo Chuan's silence, Li Tai asked, "Don't you agree?"
Luochuan thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I can help you solve your trouble, but I hope you can keep your promise, and I will have control over all mines discovered in Luozhou in the future."
Luo Chuan's words were bargaining with Li Tai.
As a time traveler, Luochuan knew that the Luoyang area was rich in coal and iron, especially coal mines, which could be said to be everywhere.
The start of the industrial revolution was indispensable with the support of resources such as coal.
But Li Tai didn't know this. He only recognized gold and silver mines. As for other minerals, he didn't care who took them.
Li Tai said: "Okay! Brother Luochuan, don't worry. I have kept my word. I will remember all these things. As long as new mines are discovered in the future, of course, except for the gold and silver mines which are the official mines of Datang, other
You can manage and control everything.
Luo Chuan finally felt better after hearing this, so that he would have enough initiative to control those scarce resources.
He knew that occupying the mineral deposits required a certain amount of strength, but now that the prince in charge of Luozhou had spoken, he would still have the initiative in the future.
So Luochuan said: "Your Highness, then I agree on behalf of all the officials and people in Luozhou."
When Li Tai heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, that's all.
In this way, he could finally kill the gang of thieves in Beishan without any blood and eliminate the trouble he was worried about.
It's not that Li Tai can't defeat them, it's that Li Tai is not short of money, but he is short of people.
He felt particularly sorry for his soldiers, and would be troubled if one of them was missing.
Because Li Shimin came to power through a mutiny, he had strict control over the mercenary rights of his princes and generals.
Li Tai managed to secretly save 100,000 troops, but he was reluctant to use them to suppress the bandits.
Then Li Tai said: "Brother Luochuan, the credit for this time is all yours. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely report it to His Majesty and reward you heavily."
Luochuan said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"
Luo Chuan thought in his heart, what I want is not promotion, but the mines in those mines.
As long as I have enough resources, the economic lifeline of the entire Central Plains will not be tightly controlled by me in the future.
Li Tai said: "That's it, you go get ready immediately.
Also, do you need me to send troops to assist you?"
