Marx said: When capital comes into the world, every pore from head to toe is permeated with blood and filth!

From January to March, the Lu merchants, Xu merchants and even the farthest Jingzhou merchants who came all the way to Liaodong to blow the northwest wind have invested at least hundreds of millions of dollars in this frozen land to build shops, purchase land, purchase goods, and recruit workers.

However, these investments are all about making money, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind, if such a large investment, this time it is lost, then the next time Wang Hou wants to call on so many businessmen and tyrants to respond to his policy actions, it will become a fantasy.

Even if it is a feudal society, it is not really a monopoly, if you can't meet the interests of all parties, these little brothers under your hands may also take out a knife and cut you down at any time!

Therefore, Wang Hou can't even care about fighting, and he can't even care about his wife, and like those mayors in later generations, he is busy attracting investment.

He's going to make some big moves!

"Guys, this is it!"

In March, the ice and snow may have melted into seawater, but in this place, the mountains are still covered with snowflakes and white, and the sun shines on the half-melted snow field, which makes people's eyes hurt.

Here is far away from Lianjiao City, stretching east into Liaodong more than 600 miles, and then there is more than 100 miles, is the old nest of the Gongsun family Xiangping City, between the winding terrain ravines, and Wang Hou's old trick, in the middle of the road sprinkled water into a thick ice road, has been pulled by the dog to grind the plow, standing on the huge climbing plow, wearing a bullshit hat, Wang Hou is voice is quite excited to point forward.

Manpower is really worthy of awe, in the direction of his finger, the cold, sturdy mountains were dug out of a huge hole, many locally hired coolies and those captured Goguryeo people who could not be recruited, Buyeo people under the watch of the whip of the Qingzhou army, in and out of the heavy minecart, inside the car, are all red stones.

This is also the reason why in the second Liaodong War, he already knew that his logistics could not support Xiangping City, but Wang Hou still forced the army to attack Xiangping City, which has a resounding name in later generations.

Anshan!

Northeast China is the earliest industrial base since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and this place is the steel center of the old industrial base in Northeast China. It is rich in Xiuyu, green as fat, and the degree of preciousness is only a glance at Hetian jade, the gentleman is good jade, this thing is in demand in the eyes of those rich and elegant families in the Central Plains.

However, what makes Wang Hou more interested is the high-quality iron ore here, in terms of iron ore quality, the Anshan mine, which can support the eldest son of the republic's iron and steel, is much higher than the taste of Taishan iron ore.

And compared to jade, the market for steel is more extensive, even those nomads who graze and wander around on the grassland, they also need big iron pots to cook their milk skins and make milk tofu, in agriculture, who ploughs the land and does not need a hoe, does not need a sickle for weeding, does not need a kettle to boil water, and does not need a pot for cooking rice and stir-frying?

There is also war, which has been raging in recent years, and armor and weapons are in short supply!

In particular, Anshan has an excellent geographical advantage compared to Rizhao, next to Fushun, which is not far away, it is rich in coal mines, which can provide fuel for the steel industry nearby, while Rizhao City needs to travel thousands of miles to transport raw materials back from the Taishan Army.

And for Wang Hou, the political significance is particularly important, now the relationship between him and Mr. Cao is declining, Qingzhou doesn't know when, Mr. Cao will have to take it back, before that, he has to race against time to build a second steel center, and it is enough to support his hegemony of the steel center.

This is it!

There are really no eternal friends, only eternal interests, a few years ago, in the three counties of Qi State, the Qi family that fought to the death with Wang Hou, pinched each other's heads and broke the blood, as long as it was not exterminated, it was amazing that they were basically standing behind Wang Hou now.

There are also Chen's in Xuzhou, Zhong's in Yingchuan, a large number of people are the current top local tyrants of the Han Empire, as Wang Hou got off the plough with great interest, they also followed one after another, wearing a big leather hat on the top of their heads, and swayed up the hill.

In half a month, there was a lot of iron ore excavated, leading these "investors" to wander to the mineral pile, Wang Houhum pulled out the steel knife he was wearing, and he was not distressed to slash at the red iron ore, and saw that the ore actually jumped out of a series of sparks.

Looking at the taste of this ore, a few housekeepers who knew the goods couldn't help but nod heavily, and the rest of the people who followed the excitement also shook their heads without knowing how to pretend to understand.

"Iron ore mines like this, to the east, there are more than a dozen, and then to the north, the senior brother of the family teacher Yu Ji has also explored a few coal mines, as long as these are developed, they will definitely become the largest coal mines and iron mines in the Han Empire!"

"You should know the profits of the steel trade!"

Just like the snake that encouraged Adam and Eve, Wang Hou said seductively, that devilish voice, listening to a large group of local tyrants' eyes were shining with golden light, nonsense, if it is not profitable to sell iron, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will not engage in salt and iron monopoly to make money! And who doesn't know that he Wang Hou's initial rise was to sell weapons in the steel yard of Rizhao and become a home of warmongers.

But these are not the most important things, the most important thing is that this golden rice bowl is now intended to be opened to them by Wang Hou!

I followed Wang Hou to visit the black coal mine again, and walked around the mountains for two days, and the rich grandchildren followed Wang Hou out of the mountain with saliva and returned to Xinchang County, which is located on the side of Liaodong Avenue at the middle foot of the thousand mountains.

There is a proverb in the Northeast that beats the roe deer and scoops the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot! This is not blowing, there are more wild animals than people in this year, in the center of the city, Wang Hou came to the newly opened Shaxian Hotel, in order to entertain these rich grandchildren, dozens of chefs and sous chefs are busy like grandsons, there is a row of pheasants hanging in the corridor, two roe deer are peeling skin and removing meat on the board, in the yard, the cold water Those cooks don't feel it, and they use knives to constantly scrape the hard fish scales of the big black stick caught by the Liao River, and their hands are frozen red.

O evil capitalists who exploit the blood and sweat of the working people, and who are extravagant and lascivious!

Bowang Hou Zhang Qian set off the first wave of revolution in the cuisine of the Han Empire, Wang Hou set off the second wave, a few years ago, the banquet of the rich and noble people to entertain distinguished guests was not boiling soup, barbecue, or sauce, and now it has become the world of stir-fried stewed vegetables, on the table, pheasant stewed vermicelli, braised black fish sticks, stir-fried venison, and the big dishes are steaming and making people's mouths water.

It's a pity, no matter how delicious the food is, it can't arouse the appetite of the big guy, and in the past two days, Wang Hou has pretended to be mysterious and has satisfied his appetite, and he is sitting on a round table, and the eyes of these local tyrants have fallen on Wang Hou, who is sitting on the main seat.

is so popular, Wang Hou is embarrassed to eat and drink his oily twist flowers, and hurriedly stuffed a pheasant leg into his mouth into a bone, he clapped his hands heavily, lowered, and was still hungry The secret art Zhuge Ying waved his little hand and commanded, and several military men carried a huge map.

"Huh???"
