I, the patron saint of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, was forced to rebel

Chapter 42
Li Huanying thought about it carefully, if the money is not paid off, then it is still profitable.

The coal mine will eventually become theirs, and they can get the formula, then the whole world will be Shanxi merchants controlling anthracite!

"What? You don't believe me?" Qin Mu remained calm, drinking tea, and glanced at the two of them.

"You go back to discuss it first, and then come after you think about it."

Said, got up to leave.

"King Xian, we agreed, but we must sign an agreement!"

Hearing this, Qin Mu laughed immediately, then turned indifferently, "Yes."

A paper agreement, a bunch of nonsense, only three that are really useful
One, 100 million taels of silver to buy all the coal mines in Datong, guaranteed by the Li family and the Wang family.

Two, 100 million with silver to be paid within [-] months without interest.

[-]. If the payment is not paid within the time limit, the ownership of the mine will be cancelled, and the payment made will not be refunded.

These terms do not seem to be a problem.

For it, it is also dispensable.

What he wants is to open and close all the banks in a short period of time. Coal ownership is not his right now, and it will be in the future.

Even if it is a Shanxi merchant, it will not be easy in the future!
I thought I had never done it before, but in fact it was all within the complete set step by step!

Negotiations went smoothly. After the agreement was signed, 5 taels of savings receipts were given in cash, and they were withdrawn at the head office in Lingzhou.

Li Huansheng and Wang Qi left Luyuan happily, and hurried back to send a letter to the family.

The old westerners only want one, silver taels!

As long as they get the government over with, no matter what Qin Mu does, they can make a lot of money.

When Qin Mu returned to the palace, he immediately found Lin Quan and explained the matter clearly.

Lin Quan immediately had an opinion on the agreement, but didn't say much.

After all, Qin Mu is the master.

"Fixing Datong is only the first step. The company needs a stable supply of resources. Now there are two problems. The first is to solve the transportation of coal from Datong to the states. The second is that coal is a heavy material, and it is very troublesome to transport, so roads need to be built! "

"My lord, it's a good dirt road, and it hasn't been soaked by rain. Do you need to renovate it?" Lin Quan was a little puzzled.

"No, the road construction I'm talking about is a big project that involves economic development in the next few decades!"

There is a saying in the previous life: If you want to get rich, build roads first!
After decades of changes, Qin Mu has a deep understanding of this sentence.

"No matter how much this road is renovated, it's just a stone road or a rammed earth road. What else can there be?" Lin Quan frowned. Surplus deposit silver!"

"Who told you that I will use these two methods to build roads?"

As he spoke, Qin Mucong picked up a few pieces of paper on the table, on which was the formula for "cement"!

It cost 1000 points to buy. After several missions, I accumulated nearly [-] points. I bought the matchlock gun formula once, and there were more than [-] points left.

Now, to buy this cement formula again, it costs [-] points!
There are just over 200 points left, and I don’t know when the task will come
"Look at this."

Lin Quan didn't understand the formula when he took it over, but he still knew the names of the ingredients in it.

"what is this?"

"Isn't it written on it? Cement! Something that's been formulated and mixed, and then hardened like stone."

"This, this, artifact!"

Lin Quan could fully imagine that with this kind of thing, not to mention anything else, the border city defense could be upgraded several notches.

At this moment, he couldn't express how shocked he was!
"Let's go, try first."

For more than an hour, the barracks workshop.

Everyone stared at the boxy gray-white "stone" on the table.

"Is this really as hard as King Xian said?"

Lin Quan firmly believed in Qin Mu's words, after all, he never missed it from the beginning until now.

"What's the situation, don't you know if you try it?"

With that said, he swung the sledgehammer himself and smashed it down.

boom!
There was a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere.

However, the cement block was only cracked, and if it had an irregular shape, it might bounce off.

"Amazing!"

In everyone's mind, there is only one word "serve"!
"Tian Chong, according to the formula, how much do you estimate it will cost? Is it the same price as Sanhe clay?"

"My lord, this thing is much cheaper than the three-component clay. It costs thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver to build a city wall with three-component clay, but it only costs less than half of it to replace it with cement!"

"Okay! Good stuff, then build a new workshop to specialize in the production of this thing, and the future demand will never stop."

Lin Quan was overjoyed and immediately started making arrangements.

According to the wise king, this thing is not only used to build houses and city walls, but also to build dams, etc. It is impervious to water and can resist various natural disasters.

Because of insufficient production, a part was made and a cement house was built.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered there, looking left and right, and some even ran over and tasted it with their tongues without knowing the situation.

After all, according to everyone's knowledge, only Sanhe soil can achieve such a degree of hardness, or even less.

"No, this doesn't taste like egg white or glutinous rice either?"

Lin Quan didn't want to talk to this idiot, he waved his hand: "Come on, test!"

Boom!

After a few consecutive hammerings, a little bit of the corner was rubbed off.

Something is wrong, why is the rock harder than yesterday?
"My lord, could it be because of the time issue? I read on the recipe that it usually takes three days to solidify, and it will become harder and harder."

"It should be right, Tian Chong, you immediately mobilize a group of people for me to set up the structure of the cement workshop, and then expand the production capacity. You don't have to worry about the silver, I will allocate additional funds to you."

"Yes!"

At night, the City Lord's Mansion is brightly lit.

It's not because of being thieves, and it's not because they are entertaining some big shots.

Qin Mu was writing military textbooks when Zhuge Liang and Lin Quan suddenly ran over, knelt on the ground without saying a word, and began to ask for money.

"King Xian, we really have nothing to do now. Although the cement is very powerful, it needs money to make it."

"That's right, King Xian, and now because of the coal incident, our silver deposits are all empty!"

"If this continues, the army will eat dirt!"

What Lin Quan said was pitiful, and he almost shed a few tears.

Seeing this situation, Qin Mu sat there without speaking, just watching their performance.

Zhuge Liang may have reacted, and sighed slightly, "King, Lingzhou City is where the treasury is located, and the current deposit of silver is less than 10 taels, and the monthly expenses of the army will be tens of thousands. 6 taels!"

Unexpectedly, there are so many!
Qin Mu thought for a while: "If you are short of money, you won't think of a solution? What is the bank for? They won't go to Wang Shanhe?"
