"Ah..." Zhang Hao stretched hard and looked at the gorgeous... um... thick dark clouds in the east. It was another refreshing morning.
Yesterday, Zhang Hao and the city lord Liu Jingming discussed it all night, and finally the two parties reached an agreement.
The Zhang family will build a factory for the country, and the factory is expected to be completed in half a year - but if it encounters external interference, such as war, the actual situation will prevail.
It is expected that after the factory is completed, it will be able to produce 500 tons of black iron with 60% purity per day. In addition, the factory will use mechanized operations, including mechanical forging equipment, and be able to produce black iron with a purity of more than 90%.
In the factory, mechanized equipment such as steam turbines and some simple stamping machine tools will be used.
Zhang Hao promised that the technical level of the factory is not inferior to that of the current Black Iron Guild. As for the technical level of the Zhang family... it is kept secret!
The factory is expected to invest 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones; Liu Jingming and the country have no money, so they can only use mines and land to pay for it.
Faced with such a factory, Liu Jingming also longed for it. A factory that could produce 500 tons of dark iron per day was enough to support the national needs of the entire Qixia Country - in principle!
This alone made Liu Jingming very excited. So during the bargaining process, Liu Jingming gave Zhang Hao, that is, the Zhang family, a great deal of leniency.
The Zhang family's fiefdom area expanded from five towns to seven towns; in addition, Zhang Hao also obtained many "abandoned mines" from Liu Jingming. These mines include exhausted spirit stone veins and abandoned black iron ore.
veins - but these were confirmed by Zhang Shengde and discovered oil.
There is even a copper mine - it should be called cuprite.
Unlike iron, copper element naturally has more neutrons than protons. So theoretically speaking, in this world, as long as it is pure copper, it can be regarded as a spiritual material.
However, most of the copper ores in this world contain other impurities, and some associated ores that are difficult to screen will form 'brass' after smelting - and what cultivators need is red copper; to put it bluntly, it is pure copper. And excellent
There are very few pure copper ores.
Copper mines containing associated ores cannot be mined with current technology. In particular, the copper content of copper mines is often very low, some even less than 10%. In the current environment, there is no mining value.
In fact, before electrolytic copper technology, it was difficult for humans to obtain pure copper.
"This is really a rich harvest!" Zhang Hao smiled.
The Zhang family now owns a fief of seven towns, almost 3,000 square kilometers! It occupies almost one-twentieth of the area of Ninghe County, and the western part of Ninghe County has become the Zhang family's private land.
That night, Liu Jingming actually "struggled" many times. However, as the saying goes, a penny can't help a hero. Ninghe County has no money now, and the treasury has no money, so it has no choice but to sell the land.
However, near dawn, Zhang Hao and the city lord Liu Jingming talked about the Xuantie Guild again. Young Master Zhang Hao also did something to betray his teammates - he sold the Xuantie Guild!
The price is—Liu Jingming’s favor!
At this time, Zhang Hao was in a good mood. He had finally established a firm foothold in this world and was changing his surroundings according to his own will.
After walking out of the city lord's mansion, Zhang Hao went through all the things, and then sneered on his lips: There is something that needs to be settled by the Queen!
This matter is what Zhou Bo told Wei Zirong, the young master of the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Jinyang, about the Zhang family’s preferential price for domestic black iron! In fact, this matter is not big or small; but Zhang Hao is ready to use the topic to make further use of it.
one time.
Zhang Hao did not go directly to the Black Iron Guild, but went back to the Zhang Mansion first and asked someone to send a message to the Black Iron Factory to mint 500 tons of Black Iron coins as quickly as possible and send them to the City Lord's Mansion.
Then Zhang Hao said hello to the busy people of the Weapon Refining Guild. More than half a month has passed. The headquarters of the Weapon Refining Guild has been completed and is now moving.
After that, Zhang Haocai and Feng Zhiling came to the Black Iron Guild.
The entrance of the Black Iron Union is very lively, and the vehicles are still flowing continuously. Thanks to the advancement of technology and the emergence of patent regulations, the price of Black Iron from the Black Iron Guild continues to fall.
But on the other hand, a large number of people surrounded the place and confronted the guards here. The people's faces were full of anger. Among the people, there were many representatives of small families, shopkeepers, etc., who denounced the "misbehavior" of the Black Iron Guild.
.
But the guards of the Black Iron Guild looked at these people coldly. The weapons in their hands were shining with cold light, and the treasure armor on their bodies was also shining with precious light. Thanks to the advancement of Black Iron smelting technology, the guards of the Black Iron Guild also
All put on new clothes.
The appearance of Zhang Hao and Feng Zhiling immediately attracted the attention of the guards, and the guard captain immediately ran in to report.
Zhang Hao swayed forward with his hands behind his back; unexpectedly, a guard stood in front of Zhang Hao: "Deacon Zhang, please wait a moment, we have notified the vice chairman."
Zhang Hao smiled so hard that the guards felt uneasy, but they gritted their teeth and persisted, standing in front of Zhang Hao. In fact, everyone understood that although the Xuantie Guild, Xuantie Factory, and the Zhang family still retained some status, they existed in name only.
The Zhang family and Xuantie Factory have already established separate branches.
After a while, the guards came out and proudly invited Zhang Hao and Feng Zhiling in.
Zhang Hao walked into the Xuan Tie Guild calmly with a smile on his face, without any anger at all.
The Xuantie Guild is still so busy. Almost a month has passed, and the Xuantie Guild without the Zhang family is developing very rapidly; but Zhang Hao feels that it should be better described with the words "barbaric expansion".
During this period of time, the expansion of the Black Iron Guild was irrational. They were just instinctively pursuing profits. However, this laid the foundation for the Black Iron Guild's disaster.
When the Zhang family was still there, they tried their best to keep the value of Xuantie coins; but now, the Xuantie Guild doesn't care about this at all.
They took advantage of the superiority of technology to amass money crazily. They exchanged the proliferation of low-grade black iron for precious survival resources in society, which also caused a great devaluation of the currency and caused great panic.
This has aroused the murderous intention of the city lord.
In order to prevent chaos in Ninghe County and ensure the environment for the rapid development of the Zhang family, Zhang Hao had to come over and clean up the mess!
Zhou Bo was sitting directly above the Xuan Tie Guild Hall, which was the chairman's position. But now Zhou Bo was sitting in the chairman's position, looking down at Zhang Hao without getting up.
There were many people from the Black Iron Guild around, also sitting in their seats, looking at Zhang Hao lazily and arrogantly.
Seeing Zhang Hao, the smile on his face became even brighter. Standing at the door, Zhang Hao did not go in, so he said directly: "Zhou Bo, on behalf of Zhang Shengde, the chairman of the Black Iron Guild, I now officially announce:
We will exercise our once-a-year veto power to revoke your status as vice chairman of the Black Iron Guild! The reason is that you have committed 'treason'!"
As he spoke, Zhang Hao took out the jade slips, which were recorded by Wei Zirong, the young master of the Kingdom of Jinyang.
