Chen Fan came this time, and one of the biggest tasks is to start a new project, that is, steelmaking.

The current people of the Li family are responsible for mining, but the weapons made of these trained iron are not so easy to use, and in many cases, they are not as good as bronze weapons.

This method of steelmaking is still a secret, as for iron smelting has long been no secret, the eight countries will smelt iron, but steelmaking will not work, these countries will also simply forge some, but the efficiency is very low, and it cannot be used at all.

Under the guidance of Chen Fan and others, the people of the Hanging Mirror Division finally studied the method of large-scale steelmaking, and this time, Chen Fan decided to build a steel mill in Yancheng to be responsible for steelmaking.

Iwaki Castle is rich in ore, and there is coal nearby, so it is very convenient.

Then the Li family already had a mining business, so he was ready to hand over the right to make steel to the Guo family.

This matter, of course, can only be carried out in secret, and cannot be known to the Li family.

So after Chen Fan solved the matter of the Guo family, he was ready to open a bid.

He used the form of bidding, and as for the bottom of the bid, he had already told Guo Laosan.

This time, a total of four families came to participate in the exceedance, namely the Guo family in Yancheng, the Li family, the Quan family in Wangdu, and the Shen family.

The word steelmaking has been put on the table for the first time, in the past, it was a family doing this business, but this time, it was forcibly deprived by Chen Fan.

Today's county government is heavily guarded, not only Chen Fan borrowed 3,000 soldiers from the Yancheng border army, but also all the officials of the county government are all working, and the people from the Hanging Mirror Division are waiting for them outside, even if it is a mosquito here, don't want to fly out.

This area has been tightly contained.

Every bidding is like this, mainly because there are too many people who come to participate in the bidding, and these people who come to participate in the bidding have silver in their hands, and there are many officials here, so this place has become an important place for defense.

But no one would have thought that the number of people who came to the tender this time was only four.

Guo Laosan, the new head of the Guo family, has already come here, he has been given Chen Fan's advice this time, and he is confident, although his father and nephew have just died not long ago, but this still does not make this middle-aged man feel a little guilty.

The Li family and the Guo family naturally still don't deal with each other, and when he saw Guo Laosan, Li Songfeng unceremoniously choked Guo Laosan.

"Guo Laosan, didn't you just die of your father? Why are you still interested in participating in the bidding?" Li Songfeng, who has a vicious mouth and doesn't give Guo Laosan a little face at all, plus the Guo family was originally a worker of the Li family, and now it has reached the point of being equal to himself, Li Songfeng's heart is really uncomfortable.

Guo Laosan didn't even look at Li Songfeng, now he feels that the peak of his life is coming soon, with the promotion of Lord Chen, even if you Li Songfeng is making trouble, you can't get into his eyes.

The remaining two families greeted Guo Laosan in a friendly manner, in addition to expressing their condolences to Guo Laosan, and then persuaded a few times again to express their politeness.

They don't have to worry that someone will come out to disturb this time, and they are not afraid that that force will dare to interfere, and now in this place, even ordinary thieves have been driven to the three-mile land outside the city.

As the time passed, the door of the entire yamen was slammed shut, and Chen Fan led people to the hall.

Behind Chen Fan, there were several people carrying a cowhide box, which seemed to be very heavy, and it took four people to carry it.

Chen Fan glanced at the four people who were doing it again, and then said to everyone: "You came here today to be considered the right one, those who don't come will definitely regret it!"

Chen Fan didn't expect that there were only four families coming, he originally thought that there should be more than a dozen, but he didn't expect four people to come.

"Before opening the bid, I will tell you that this tender is not one, it is four, I was originally going to hand over the steelmaking to a family to do, but then I thought about it, a family is unlikely to eat, so I split it into four, since everyone is there, it will be divided, as for the bidding, we will go through the motions, I don't know what you think?"

Chen Fan's sudden idea made the four shopkeepers present at a loss, this is a pie falling from the sky, I didn't expect it to really hit myself this time.

Guo Kai was also stunned in his heart, he thought about earning a life and death with the Li family this time, but he didn't expect this Lord Chen to directly give everyone a row to sit in.

"I don't know what four things Master Chen is talking about?" said the boss of the Quan family.

Chen Fan motioned for someone to open the big box!

Inside this box, there was a large box full of materials.

"These are the materials needed for steelmaking, and there are some samples, which are made according to this standard, and I don't think it will be possible for one to complete them!"

These materials were circulated back and forth in the hands of the four bosses, and after learning the truth, the people of these four families also secretly admired the ability of the Hanging Mirror Division.

Although this steelmaking is not a secret, but this kind of large-scale steelmaking is indeed impossible to achieve under such conditions, and the Hanging Mirror Division has solved this problem perfectly, which makes those bosses admire, and then they understand what Chen Fan said just now that those who don't come will definitely regret it.

Among these materials, it is roughly proposed that the use of steel, the most important thing is that the weapons made from this thing are several times harder than iron.

In the past, mechanical manufacturing was the specialty of the Mo family, but the ones they made were made of wood, and the sturdiness and practicality were not good at all.

However, if it is made of steel, it is different.

It's a maddening business, and they can't help but admire the ingenuity of the Hanging Mirror Division.

In the document, it is also explained that a specially made car, if this kind of car can really be realized, it is not a problem to send the country's soldiers to any place on the front line at the first time, even if it is a war.

"The four of you are all brainy families, not the kind of family that eats the old book, dare to come today, it shows that you have the courage to change the world, you choose for yourself, there are four of them, one for each family, it doesn't matter if you don't dare to choose!"

The shopkeepers of these four families are all shrewd people, they chose the business that suited their families at the first time, and after paying a large amount of security deposit to Chen Fan, they all left satisfied.

Guo Laosan's wish finally came true, and Chen Fan handed over this item of steelmaking to him.
