Chapter 197. There is a mine at home
Taishan County is a poor place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs? Pull it down!
Indeed, compared with the small plains between the vast mountains of Taishan County, which is only one-tenth of the small plains, and is still remembered by various bandits, Langya County is undoubtedly a paradise, the vast and fertile Lunan Plain occupies nine-tenths, the cultivated land is vast and the grain is abundant, but Langya County has nothing but food, and Taishan County has almost everything except for the lack of food!
The wild boars, tigers, and deer running in Mount Tai are herds out of leather, the primeval forests on the mountains produce fine wood, and there are rich iron ores, coal mines, copper mines, aluminum mines, not to mention these, even Mount Tai's hard quartz stone, basalt is an important building material, and even stones can be sold for money! There are also hot springs in Tai'an County, sulfur production, and so on! Compared with Mount Tai, Langya is really like a poor place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs.
The first stop is to run to this Longma Village, not that Xu Qianzi robbed Wang Hou halfway, robbed him more, it was really because he got the news from the capture of Taishan thieves, there is the largest iron mine in a radius of 100 miles behind his house.
However, it is said to be the largest, in fact, it is only a hole cut out of the mountain, a few iron-making furnaces on the side, and the entire iron mine is less than 300 people, they still use charcoal to make iron, and the quality of pig iron they practice is average! It's far worse than Wang Hou's small iron mine in Funiu Mountain!
But there's real potential here! Now he is half a mine owner, walking into the mine and walking around, looking at the rusty red iron ore, Wang Houzui smiled a little.
"Lord, the surname Xu is here!"
Before opening the door, Xu Lizi could barely be regarded as a tiger calf, after opening the door, he was completely reduced to a pig calf, completely meat on someone's chopping board, if Wang Hou wanted to eat roast suckling pig, he could roast him now!
I don't know if I regret it in my heart, anyway, an old face is sad, this guy who is two rounds older than Wang Hou is sad like a grandson, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing his head.
"The state pastor spares his life! The state shepherd spares his life! As long as the state pastor spares our Xu family, let the little one do anything! ”
"Can you really do anything?"
"Go back to the state to pasture, the liver and brain are smeared, and I will not give up!"
"Then get up! There is still a shortage of mine supervisors in this official prefecture pastoral yamen, and the rank ratio is 400 stones, do you want to do it? ”
Wang Houzhen is called a dog-faced, just now it was like eating people, so it will be cloudy and sunny after a while! But Xu Li was stunned by him, and if he didn't suppress him, he would still be an official?
The more vague was still behind, he didn't react, Wang Hou had already dragged him up, his old face was still full of imagination, and he pointed at him excitedly and shouted.
"From now on, your mine will become a joint venture! You occupy 50 percent of the shares with land, and I will sell 50 percent of the shares with people and grain and ox carts, and then we will open iron ore and sell it to the government, and the price of ten stone iron ore is one stone of grain and one stone of cloth, what do you think? ”
"Forehead ......"
I really don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Wang Hou's gourd, this Xu calf has been stupid for more than a minute, looking at Wang Hou's waiting face, he suddenly nodded his head in a hurry.
"What the state pastor says is what it is!"
Now that his head is under the human knife, even if Wang Hou says that he is his father, he has to smile and nod!
"That's great!"
A few minutes later, even if the famous Longmazhai iron ore contract in later history was signed in front of this small cave, in the name of the Qingzhou government, it was officially surveyed that the iron ore in Longmazhai within a radius of fifty miles was jointly owned by Wang Hou and Xu Qian, and the iron ore mined here was purchased by the Qingzhou government. What's the point of him taking off his pants and farting and tossing once? It's not a good thing for Xu Qian to understand, not to mention that his life has been saved, the queen still needs to use him!
It is another official appointment of the Qingzhou Mine Mine Supervisor, and he can be regarded as an official, with a strange feeling, this guy is very into the drama and asked.
"My lord, the lower officials dare to ask when they will start to invest in labor and grain to mine iron ore?"
"Food can give you 5,000 stone right now, as initial funds, but manpower ......"
After a pause, Wang Hou suddenly leaned close to his ear and asked in a low and hurried voice.
"Do you have any enemies around here?"
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt a chill on his spine, and Xu Li felt an obvious sense of foreboding.
…………
What is a monopoly organization big torlader? What is bloody and greedy capitalism? What is an empty glove white wolf? Wang Hou has taken it all, the iron mine is robbed by the number of people, the grain is obtained in Langya by the abduction of the pit, as for the miners who mine the ore, or directly called slaves! It is also the idea of robbing.
Sent someone to hurry up and return to Ju County, Zhao Yun led the team, and took over all the craftsmen and Lu Ji who left him there, and this kung fu Zang Ba also took nearly 10,000 cavalry to rob the alluvial plain of the Yellow River in Luzhong, Yuan Tan's territory! No one cared about him.
Mount Tai is really a gratifying resource, there is a heavy recruitment of Mr. Feng Shui to lead the way, it is easy to find a temporary mining of a small coal mine nearby, before shaping the drawings and molds of the return cannon Wang Hou also brought, there is a ready-made iron ore, at the end of August, two back guns and ten small trebuchets weighing more than 500 pounds were easily built by him, and Wang Hou's robbery trip, eh, Taishan County hegemony tour, also kicked off.
In this era, it is extremely difficult to survive in the mountains, and externally these mountain people are synthesized into Taishan thieves, but internally, in order to compete for water and land resources, these landlords and tyrants in the mountains often carry out village warfare and mergers, and Xu Qian is actually under the command of Li Damu, a larger local tyrant cottage nearby.
At the beginning, he was defeated by Li Damu but many people died, and now Xu Qian has taken refuge in Wang Hou, the first spearhead is pointed at Li Damu, the old leader who scrapes him every year, and rests until the end of August, Wang Hou's Qingzhou Legion is the first battle since the establishment of the army.
is still standing at the bottom of the mountain and pretending to be forced as always, but unfortunately, not every time it is easy to pretend to be forced! I don't know if too many people died in the battle of Yimeng Pass, this Li Damu has a special hatred for him.
"Listen to the king's chimney below! This realm is the territory of the third master of Chang Xichang, don't say that you are Zang Ba's brother, you are Zang Ba's grandson, it's not easy to make it! The person surnamed Xu is afraid of you, but Lao Tzu is not afraid! You just wash your neck and wait! After the third master of Chang Xichang returns to the army, he will definitely break your body into thousands of pieces! ”
It seems that the bandit leader has a characteristic, his eyes are as big as a bull's eye, with a thick black beard, the classic image of the Viking is like this, this Wanlushan Li beard also looks like this, standing at the mouth of the stockade, he spit on the stars splashing away from more than 30 meters, Wang Hou is afraid of spraying on himself, looking at the freighter with a machete, arrogant appearance, Wang Hou shrugged helplessly.
"Thankfully, this time it was all prepared! Let's go back to the cannon and wait! ”
"The last will obey!".
Facing the invincible Li Damu on the cottage, in the dense Qingzhou Wangjia military town halfway up the mountain, two behemoths more than five meters high creaked and were pulled down their heavy throwing arms.
