Chapter Sixty-Nine: More Refined Mineralization

The officials of Weicheng did not agree at first. Yun Ke was surprised: "Why not? ”

The Weicheng official blinked his eyes, and he really couldn't answer for a while. Well, they just negotiated smoothly, and when they heard Yun Ke's conditions, they refused first. I can't really explain the reason......

"Why say yes? What are the benefits of saying yes? "A clever ghost finally reversed his thinking and thought of the anti-general Yun Ke's army.

Yun Kelang said: "The imminent sheep fu is wrapped in the trumpet. ”

“…… That's what you promised at the beginning. ”

"The canals on the ground, we will really work hard to build them! It's really done, it's not only to solve the people's livelihood, but also the political achievements of the big man! ”

“…… Belch! "That's true.

"All the hired workers, we pay them at full rate! There will be fewer poor people in Weicheng, and more rich people! It's easy to do things with money! If everyone is rich, the city will be rich! Yun Ke led them to imagine the future.

“…… Wait a minute," Cao Mujian interjected: "You have dug the mine, is there a market?" "In case it is unsalable, if you can't get the money back, everything will become a pie on paper.

Yun Ke touched his chin: "Actually, the southwest and southeast lines of the trumpet have camel caravans and merchant ships, which can ......be transported as much as possible."

Qingqiao listened intently.

Yun Ke shook out his burden like talking about cross talk: "But in front of the eldest brother, I don't dare to speak, the most convenient is of course to be transported to the north." The north lacks iron and has many livestock, so it is just right to take iron and coal to exchange for their sheep. ”

A voice of indignation: "Tieyun Beihu? "The court strictly forbidden!" "That's handing the weapon to the enemy!" I was so angry that my eyes turned green.

"But I got the enemy's meat back! They have less sheepskin and lamb! Yun Ke smiled slightly in the wolf-like green eyes.

"Confused! They have more weapons than less meat. Won't you plunder even more from me! Cao Mujian was furious at first.

Qing Qiao suddenly spoke: "Nine-tenths of the country's iron is in the hands of the imperial court, one-tenth is privately owned, and one-tenth of the tenths is smuggled at most. The imperial court can't resist the invasion of tenths and one percent of the iron of the imperial court, and the imperial court does not introspect, is it still to blame the smugglers? ”

The crowd was speechless for a moment. That's what the words say...... You can't say that!

"Okay, let's go, we're also Han, you see?" Yun Ke turned around and pleaded, "If it doesn't work, it won't work!" Then we can only go to the desert in the west, and go to the countries in Xijon and the west. If the ore is shipped directly. The cost is high, it is impossible to operate, and it can only be refined on the spot before shipping. Wood is used for refining, and there is little wood in Weicheng. Please also ask the old buddies to return to the eldest master. Give us two mouthfuls of black oil. Otherwise, you really slap it and stare at it, so you don't need to talk about it. ”

Weicheng also produces a kind of black oil, jet black. Oily, so called black oil, can also burn, but the smell is big, the smoke is also big, usually cooking rice or something is not easy to use, mainlanders hate it, don't use it. Even if the official mines are to be smelted, they only mine coal or collect wood from the mainland, and they disdain to burn black oil. And the poor collected some lamplighters. At this time, I couldn't do it in a hurry, so I had to use it to make iron. Anyway, it was a worthless thing that no one wanted, and Cao Mujian's anger subsided slightly. Everyone discussed for a while, and felt that this plan was not too problematic, so they nodded and said: "Give you two black oil pools, you operate well, first, hand over the sheep immediately, second, pay full wages to the workers, and third, never smuggle Beihu!" ”

Yun Ke promised: "Now that we have put all the trade routes of Beihu on the surface, can we deceive you again?" I can't fool you into going. Anyway, after refining on the spot, Xiyun will also be profitable, and there is no need to risk smuggling. Peace of mind, dude. ”

They asked, "Where are you going to buy the sheep?" ”

Yun Ke confidently pointed out the name of a certain city and a certain city in the southeast, and said: "There are sheep in these places, and it is not far to transport them to the front line. However, to save the most cost, it is better to buy it directly from the Hu people. ”

The listener was shocked: "How to seek skin with the tiger?" ”

Yun Ke said with a smile: "Brothers, I don't know, north of the line, we all call them 'Hu' who look different from us, speak differently, and are born of shepherding, who know that they are also divided into various tribes - the tribe is quite big." Some are small clusters and clumps, and they wander on their own. King Hu ordered many tribes to be gathered, but the grassland was big, and there were always some Hu people who did not listen to King Hu. I can ask them to buy sheep, and they will sell them if they have the money. ”

Everyone suddenly realized. Old Master Zhan commented: "This is a 'traitor'. ”

So it was well planned. Here I opened a black mine and bought sheep to support the front line.

Lin Dai was imprisoned in the cold palace by Cui Heng.

She was locked up and completely self-inflicted. Who told her to contradict Cui Heng. Cui Heng, who was too old to use strong, and refused to use kitsch medicine because of his identity, asked her to be locked up and calm down.

Lin Dai was not interested in this bad old man, so he took a good measure and deliberately let him get angry and lock himself in the corner for a while. She fought for this period of time......

What's the use? Lin Dai said that to be honest, he didn't have a score in his heart.

Lin Dai didn't expect that Xirong suddenly started a war.

When Xirong declared war on the Central Plains, she was also completely unaware.

When most people heard the news, they thought it was tinnitus, or that Xijon was crazy: you said that a person's son and daughter are married to other people's families, and he dares to beat others, isn't it crazy? Xirong's business is all on the side of the Central Plains - well, if not all, it's almost the same. It stands to reason that two people can make a fortune if they are harmonious, and as a result, they will fight! What's the situation? Beihu fights, that's because they don't have the ability and anger to make money! Xirong has already made so much sweetness from making money from harmony, and suddenly he raised troops to break down, and he can fight against the business? Everyone thought it was crazy.

Jincheng was not affected by the war at all. Everyone says that Jincheng is really a good place! There were no floods, no soldiers. Land flowing with milk and honey.

"It's all because you're here!" Old Lady Xie smiled at Xie Xiaoheng.

Because Xie Xiaoheng himself is making waves, of course his own nest cannot be affected.

"Shh Xie Xiaoheng said to her.

The Buddha said that it cannot be said. If you say it, it won't shine.

Old Lady Xie moved and coughed slightly. The voice was not loud, Xie Xiaoheng sounded a little wrong, and looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Xie said, "It's still the same." Sometimes my stomach is upset, and I have a cold. ”

Mingzhu looked at her worriedly. Old Mrs. Xie changed the topic and said worriedly: "Jian'er will be fine, right?" Xie Xiaoheng comforted her a few words, and after turning around, he asked Mingzhu: "What did she eat again?" ”

Knowing his wife is like a husband! Even now they often live apart. Old Mrs. Xie pouted her tail, but Xie Xiaoheng still knew what she was pulling...... Uh-cough, the following words are omitted indecently.

Mingzhu also admired Xie Xiaoheng and said directly: "I ate a drunken melon." ”

It is said that this drunken melon is a kind of melon with a natural wine flavor, and the flavor is excellent. Since tasting this smell last year, the old lady is always tempted when she thinks about it. The doctor said that melons and fruits were cool and told her not to eat more. This year's drunken melon is on the market, she was just a taste, yesterday I thought that the drunken melon was about to fall off the market, and it would be another year if I didn't eat it, so I couldn't help it, and I ate almost a whole person by myself, and I broke my stomach that night.

Mingzhu also persuaded her: "Melons and fruits are cool, and the season is against the sky, and wine is also a thing that is easy to hurt the body, old lady, you have a daughter's body, use this kind of thing more, and the servants are uneasy, forget it, the old lady and young master are worried about the old lady, you are so loving, how can you be willing to give it?" Stop it and don't eat it again! The old lady also sighed: "My sons and daughters-in-law, as long as you are half concerned, I will listen to them in everything." ”

Mingzhu is just a girl, she can gently advise the old lady, but the old lady may not listen. The summer was over, and the old lady fell ill again.

Qingqiao discussed with Yun Ke: "When will you withdraw?" ”

"It's a little later," Yun Ke said, "I don't expect their news to spread so quickly." ”

was biting his ears, and Cao Mujian and others outside suddenly came in a menacing manner. Qingqiao's heart sank. Yun Ke said: "Don't you go out to pour tea?" ”

Qingqiao went out, really poured tea, and came back.

He told her to run first, just in case. But she came back to live and die with him.

Fortunately, those people didn't come to arrest Yun Ke. The news of the battle in Xijon really didn't come so quickly. After all, there were no telegraph computers in this era. There is only one reason why Yun Ke and Qing Qiao can predict the prophet: before they came, they knew that there might be a big war.

Someone lit a fire. Unless God suddenly stretches out his giant palm to extinguish the fire. Otherwise, Daling's house will burn down.

Cao Mujian and the others, looking nervous at the moment, questioned Yun Ke: "You said that you refined the ore and shipped it to the small countries further west of Xirong?" Their iron ore is better than ours! The top-notch steel used by the imperial court could not be refined from the local ore, so it was transported from further west by the Rong merchants. How could they ask for our crude iron? Where exactly are you shipping it to sell? ”

"So you're suspicious of this!" Qing Qiao thought this in her heart and thought it was funny.

Yun Ke suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are suspicious of this!" Why didn't you say it earlier! Alas, dude! You only know one of them, don't you know that the small countries in the west are competing for power, and there are conquests and killings from time to time? It's like we are hostile to Beihu, we are unwilling to give them iron ore, and the small countries in the Western Regions are killing each other, how can they communicate with each other! They produce fine steel, and not every country comes out, and those who come out of the country are also willing to ship to our court to exchange tea, porcelain, silk and silk, rather than give them to neighboring countries. I will give this rough iron to the country that does not produce steel or iron, and exchange some glassware and precious incense and stones. In order to fight, rough iron is better than no iron, and they promise to change what they say, and they have to grit their teeth to change how much they say, and I have to grit their teeth to change how much they say, and I make a profit thousands of times! If not, who will I sell when I take iron? ”

Cao Mujian and the others looked at each other, feeling that what he said was very reasonable.

This matter has been thrilled. (To be continued......)
