The days when I fished in Daming

"There are many other places. Your Highness can search for them by yourself according to the method I told you, and I will not participate."

Full of dry goods.

Zheng Xiong gave the method of identification and even the address.

If you really want to make money, you can do it yourself.

A great thing, a great thing!
It's a pity that Zhu Biao doesn't know.

What Zheng Xiong mentioned almost covers the producing areas of large coal mines.

The rest are simply incomparable.

The Huainan Coal Mine and the Huaibei Coal Mine, together with the Xuzhou Coal Mine, are the largest coal mining areas in the south.

Not to mention Shanxi's coal boss, his reputation has spread throughout the country and is famous at home and abroad.

There is not much left for Zhu Biao to pick up.

If Zhu Biao really wants to do it by himself, he can barely drink the soup!

"Is this fire really as good as you say?"

Zheng Xiong said with certainty and certainty.

"Only strong but not weak."

Seeing that Zheng Xiong was so sure, Zhu Biao couldn't ask any more questions.

"According to what you said, if most of this fire is used to make iron, can we make money?"

sure!

must be able to.

"Winter is approaching now. If we operate the coal well, we will definitely not have to worry about sales. We will definitely take advantage of this opportunity to make a small profit."

"And it doesn't need to be much. Cinders account for [-]%, and the remaining [-]% of loess can be made into a honeycomb shape. It's simple and convenient."

"Of course, this is for making money. It cannot be used for making iron. It has to be made by other methods."

It's quite simple to say simple.

After Zhu Biao listened, he felt that China has a vast land and abundant resources.

How do children in the South know this?

I just feel ignorant and ignorant.

At the same time, he also looked serious.

If we really follow what Zheng Xiong said, then it would be a big deal.

The credit is too great. Zhu Biao is not a solitary person, and he will not be greedy for Zheng Xiong's credit.

He said hurriedly.

"Mr. Yi will go with Gu to visit Emperor Father later. If you have any ideas, please wait until Father Gu gives his nod!"

Zhu Biao's words made Zheng Xiong dumbfounded.

You are really a role model who has no hair on your lips and is not solid in your work.

You agreed so happily just now, but in the end you still have to go find Lao Zhu.

Zheng Xiong really didn't want to meet Lao Zhu or deal with him if it wasn't necessary.

Now it seems that the only way to see her is to meet her.

Zhu Biao didn't give Zheng Xiong a chance, so he directly pulled Zheng Xiong out of the door and went straight to the palace.

"Your Majesty, what the prince said is what I said."

"Ah."

After listening to this, Lao Zhu looked calm and just nodded lightly.

In fact, I was already laughing inside.

Making iron and making steel.

If given a choice, who would want to hold on to the iron weapon?

Don’t you have no choice yet?
On the one hand, there are agricultural needs, and on the other hand, the flow of controlled items into the market will cause instability.

You have to catch both, but you can’t catch both.

If there is a breakthrough in steelmaking, then iron tools can now be deregulated.

After all, technology has been updated, and there is no need to hold on to iron tools anymore.

Zheng Xiong undoubtedly solved Lao Zhu's problem, not more, as long as it can be improved three to five times, that is enough.

And make money.

Yes, you can still make money!
"Zheng Xiong, you should not be in charge of this mining group. Since you proposed it, we allow you to take [-]% of Ying Tianfu's share as a reward, but you can only manage the affairs of the mining group. You will be responsible for the other matters. You don’t have to worry about the manpower.”

Yes, robber.

No wonder I don’t want to play with you, I finally found the reason.

Zhu Biao is better.

His aggrieved eyes passed over Lao Zhu and looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao did not disappoint Zheng Xiong. His embarrassed eyes flashed away, and he turned to look down at his shoes, as if there were flowers on them.

But Lao Zhu still had some conscience and continued.

"Tomorrow you present the map, and we will send people to verify it one by one. If it is as you said, no matter what you use it for, [-]% of the steel produced within one year will be sent to Yingtian Mansion for you to use within one year. Hou Yingtianfu can get [-]% every year."

It seems to be okay. Anyway, it's just a one-time deal, which can be regarded as broadening a way to make money.

Fighting alone is definitely not as good as Lao Zhu's deployment.

It seems like less, but it’s actually not a loss. "Your Majesty is wise, I think we can focus on mining in Taiping Mansion. It would be more convenient to go down the river."

I thought it was a big deal, that's it.

Lao Zhu was not worried at all.

Even if Zheng Xiong's steelmaking is for rebellion, he is not afraid.

And it is obviously impossible for Zheng Xiong to do such a thing.

Have you ever seen a rebel who can do things for you? Isn’t that nonsense?
"Yes, Yingtian Mansion will be responsible for the iron ore smelting in Taiping Mansion under special permission. The steel produced can also be given to Yingtian Mansion Yamen. We can even give you whatever you need. There is only one thing. We will let the guards station in. You Not to be obstructed.”

Quite courageous.

Lao Zhu is tantamount to handing over the future Ma Gang to others.

Gave it to Zheng Xiong.

Do I dare to stop it?

How dare you say it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No, please step aside and I'll have a chat with the prince!"

"I obey the decree and respectfully send you your holy greetings."

Zheng Xiong slowly retreated, leaving Xiao Zhu behind.

Lao Zhu said to Zhu Biao.

"This mining group, you three and five, how about it!"

"My son obeys the order."

Lao Zhu and Lao Huai are greatly relieved.

"Haha, hahaha."

Early the next morning, Zheng Xiong sent the completed atlas to the Prince's Mansion.

The ones highlighted are Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. in Liaoning, and others in Hebei, Jidong, Sichuan, Shanxi, etc.

Likewise, they are all large mining areas.

The reserves are amazing.

After seeing the map, Lao Zhu immediately arranged for someone to go over and verify it.

Expedited expresses arrive everywhere quickly.

Live up to expectations, the coal mine is true, and the iron ore is also true.

Coal and iron complement each other.

It’s far from being as simple as one plus one.

Lao Zhu was greatly relieved and in a very happy mood.

On the day they received the news, they immediately arranged for guardsmen from various mining areas to mine.

At the same time, a group of people with sufficient trust were selected from the military and sent to various places to supervise.

At the same time, there was an order on Zheng Xiong's desk.

"Order Zheng Xiong to allocate 20 yuan from the government office to various places to support mining from now on."

OK!

Is it something people do?

The lion opened his mouth and actually took his words seriously.

I ask for money, but you really have it.

Zheng Xiong's heart was bleeding.

There is nothing you can do about it, why did you propose it yourself?
"The minister obeys the order."

"Mr. Zheng Xiong, your hard work has yielded great results. I am very pleased. Zheng Qi, the Jia family and the Han family have taught their children well. I have specially given you an iron scroll of elixirs to save you from death. I admire this."

"I (Zheng Qi) (Jia family) (Han family) thank you for your holy grace. Thank you very much, Your Majesty."

Three at a time.

It's like wholesale.

The three of them, Zheng Qi, looked at each other, took the imperial edict and iron scroll, and quickly invited them to their homes to offer incense.

Then he stared with big eyes and small eyes, wondering if it was a dream?

Only Han Ren's family looked on with envy as if they were watching a play.

"Little sister, congratulations."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, your Majesty, is so kind to me. My boy is worthy of his honor, so he can benefit his family. Today, our family will have a good celebration."

"Dare to obey!"

Happy is really happy.

When Zheng Xiong came back, the family officially started dinner.

A hearty dinner.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, people are self-intoxicating.

If it weren't for Lao Zhu's prohibition on alcohol, his family would have had two mouthfuls of wine.
