Time passed unconsciously, in the blink of an eye, four years have passed silently, and Zhao Hu, who was only six years old, also reached the age of ten.

Ten-year-old Zhao Hu, because of the cultivation of the Nine Turns Glaze Technique and the use of a large amount of food, his body developed extremely rapidly, and he was only ten years old and had a height of one meter five or six, and his body was also extremely strong.

At the same time, because of Xiaoyun's continuous indoctrination, Zhao Hu has more and more knowledge and skills in his mind, making Zhao Hu look very sophisticated, and people who don't know will never think that Zhao Hu is only ten years old when they see Zhao Hu, and most of them will think that Zhao Hu is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

In four years, under the guidance of Xiaoyun, Zhao Hu continued to practice the Nine Turns Liuli Jue, his physical fitness was extremely good, and the foundation of martial arts was very solid.

When Zhao Hu was growing up happily, Zhao Hu's blacksmith shop became the largest blacksmith shop in the southwest area of Andy City under Zhao Kun's painstaking development, and bought several houses near the blacksmith shop to build a small iron furnace and smelt more farm tools and weapons.

However, because the technology of the small iron furnace is not very high, the smelted farm tools are okay, and the good quality and low price are very popular with the farmers near Andy City, and the business is very good, but the quality of the smelted weapons is not very good, even if the price is cheap, it can't be sold in much quantity.

After all, weapons are used to kill, and they are one of the dependencies of a warrior's life, and if the quality of the weapon is not good, no warrior is willing to pay for it.

As for ordinary people, there is not much demand for weapons, so although Zhao Hu's blacksmith shop is involved in the production of weapons, the sales volume has not been very good, and it has not had much impact on the weapons market in Andy City, nor has it attracted the attention and vigilance of weapons dealers in Andy City.

It's just that the weapons market is very huge, not only is it very high, but it also has a special status, Zhao Kun has always wanted to get involved in it and become one of the best weapons dealers in Andy City, but he has never been able to do it.

"Dad, what do I think you've been frowning lately, what's going on?" Zhao Hu had just finished cultivating the Nine Turns Glaze Technique, and was about to return to the room, when he found Zhao Kun sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard with a frown, his brows slightly furrowed, and he walked over quickly and asked loudly.

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, thinking of Zhao Hu's intelligence, Zhao Kun said what he was worried about.

It turned out that after four years of development, although the scale of the blacksmith shop has expanded a lot, and the business is also very good, but because the quality of the farm tools smelted in the blacksmith shop is good, it can be used for more than ten years without accidents, resulting in the agricultural tools market near Andy City is close to saturation, and the business of the blacksmith shop is getting worse and worse, which makes Zhao Kun distressed.

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Zhao Hu lowered his head and pondered. The price of farm tools is not high, the transportation in the Emerald Country is not convenient, and the transportation cost is very high, so it cannot be shipped to other places for sale, and can only be sold near Andy City.

Now that the farm tool market near Andy City is close to saturation, if the blacksmith shop is not transformed, it is inevitable that it will lose money and go out of business! Thinking of this, Zhao Hu began to think about the transformation of the blacksmith shop.

Although the market for agricultural tools in the whole jade country is large, but because of the restrictions of transportation, the cost of agricultural tools is too high, and the agricultural tools produced by the Zhao family blacksmith shop will be very high after encountering other places, and it will not be able to compete with the farm tools created by the subway smith shop.

Andy's agricultural tool market is close to saturation, but the weapons market is very large, and it is still far from saturated! At the same time, weapons are different from farm tools, the price of weapons is not comparable to farm tools at all, as long as the quality of weapons is excellent, the price will reach an extremely terrifying level, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can consume.

Because of the high price of weapons, if the blacksmith can produce low-cost, high-quality weapons and occupy the weapons market in Andy City in one fell swoop, it will make a lot of profits.

At the same time, the cost of weapons is low and the quality is excellent, so it is completely possible to sell them to every corner of the Emerald Country, and even to other countries.

After all, compared to the high price and good profits of weapons, a little transportation cost is not a problem at all, and it can be passed on to those who buy it.

Of course, if he can become the largest arms supplier in Andy City and even the Emerald Country, he will have a very high social status, allowing the Zhao family to grow up quickly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu set the goal of the transformation of the blacksmith shop on weapons, and how to produce low-cost and high-quality weapons has become a problem for Zhao Hu to consider.

Under Xiaoyun's indoctrination, Zhao Hu had a lot of knowledge in his mind, including a lot of knowledge about iron-making and steel-making assembly lines to build cold weapons.

Under Zhao Hu's mobilization, this knowledge has entered Zhao Hu's field of vision, providing Zhao Hu with sufficient and perfect information, so that Zhao Hu can easily come up with a solution to the dilemma of the blacksmith shop.

"Dad, since the farm tool market in Andy City is saturated, we might as well suspend the production of farm tools and concentrate on the production of various weapons and equipment! After all, the profit from weapons and equipment is not at all comparable to farm tools! After pondering for a while, Zhao Hu, who had a draft in his heart, looked at Zhao Kun with a smile and said.

Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Zhao Kun shook his head helplessly and said: "Xiaohu, I also know that weapons and equipment are highly profitable, and I also want to concentrate on producing all kinds of weapons and equipment, but the quality of the weapons and equipment we smelt is not good, and we can't compete with other weapons manufacturers at all!" ”

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, seeing the color of the weapon on his face, Zhao Hu smiled slightly: "Dad, I have a new method to refine steel on a large scale, we use these steels to build weapons and equipment, can the quality of weapons and equipment be poor?" ”

"Do you have a way to make steel on a large scale?" As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zhao Kun involuntarily raised his voice, his eyes full of incredulity.

All the steel in their Jade Country is a hundred refined steel, and there is no way to refine steel on a large scale, once their Zhao family can refine steel on a large scale, they can definitely become the largest weapon supplier in the Jade Country and earn a lot of benefits.

"Of course! However, we can't leak out the method of large-scale steel refining, we must find a secret place to produce! After all, the benefits of the method of large-scale steel refining are too great, and I can't keep our Zhao family! Hearing Zhao Kun's words, seeing the incredible look in Zhao Kun's eyes, Zhao Hu nodded lightly.

Although he is only ten years old, Zhao Hu also knows a lot of people's sophistication, knows that interests are moving, and only if there are enough interests, people dare to trample on all the laws of the world!

"You're right, we have to find a secret place to produce steel, and we can't let outsiders know that we have a way to make steel on a large scale! At the same time, the weapons and equipment we build do not need to be made of steel, but only need to be doped with a little steel, so that the weapons and equipment we build are a little stronger than those built by other weapons dealers in Andy City. Hearing Zhao Hu's words, Zhao Kun quickly regained his composure and pondered for a while.

Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Zhao Hu nodded lightly, and said with a faint smile on his face: "Dad, how much money our family has now, I'll see if it's enough for us to build a steel plant." ”

"Our family now has 100,000 taels of silver in cash, and more than 10,000 taels of uncollected!" As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zhao Kun said with a smile.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small number, and for Zhao Kun, a self-made man, it is a very proud and proud thing to be able to earn one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver, if you save money, it's almost enough to build a small steel factory!" Hearing Zhao Kun's words, Zhao Hu frowned slightly.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver can only build a small steel mill, do you know how much one hundred thousand taels of silver is?" As soon as Zhao Hu's voice fell, Zhao Kun shouted with surprise on his face.

"Of course I'm a hundred thousand taels of silver! One or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for a hundred copper coins, and you can buy fifty white-flour steamed buns, and if you save a little, you can make a big man eat for a month! One hundred thousand taels of silver can feed 10,000 people for a year! But 100,000 taels of silver is too little for a steel mill, and at most a small steel mill can be built! Hearing Zhao Kun's words, seeing the look of surprise on his face, Zhao Hu loosened his shoulders and said.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is really not much for building a steel plant, at most it can only allow Zhao Hu to build a small steel plant. However, even if it is a small steel factory, it is enough to make the Zhao family's blacksmith shop the largest arms supplier in Andy City.

"In that case, then, I'll leave this matter to you!" Seeing the confident look on Zhao Hu's face, Zhao Kun hesitated slightly, then nodded lightly.

"Dad, you can't do that! In this matter, you don't need to go out in person, I'll give you a big hand! As soon as Zhao Kun's voice fell, Zhao Hu hurriedly said.

Zhao Hu didn't want to devote his time and energy to the steel mill, so he helped his family build a steel mill at most, so that the family's blacksmith shop could survive the difficulties and help his father make a career.

When Zhao Hu assists Zhao Kun in establishing the steel plant, he will hand over all the matters of the steel plant to Zhao Kun, and he can be a rich young master himself.
