"Have you returned to the widows?"

From the firearms factory directly to the ironware factory, Gao Han opened his mouth and asked, according to the number of iron tools purchased by the ironware factory, it would be a dream to cast these two cannons first, not to mention, Gao Han wanted to cast not only two cannons, but many, many more.

"Haven't come back yet!" Liu Ru shook his head: "These days, I have collected some iron tools, but the quantity is too small, should we think of other ways?" ”

"If only there was another way!" Gao Han sighed, "This is ironware, even if we open up in Guangdong, how many ironware can be sold to us by the people, and we can't find the imperial court for this matter, and we can only count on these overseas barbarians!" ”

"Otherwise, let's just make iron ourselves!" Liu Ru lowered her voice and said, she was much more courageous than Gao Han: "We don't have an idea about the iron ore in the imperial court, but we can always find some small iron ore overseas, let's spend some time and silver, maybe we can get it!" ”

"What our court can imagine, can't those Fanguo think of?" Gao Han disagrees with this: "Even if there is, where is there so much time and energy to mine overseas now, the various links required in the middle are not only troubles, but even troubles that cannot be solved, we don't have the ability to stretch out our hands so long now!" ”

There is certainly no better way to use iron ore than to smelt directly with iron, this, Gao Han can be sure.

Moreover, the Daming salt and iron monopoly, this iron ore is undoubtedly in the hands of the imperial court, using iron ore to smelt, just the extra things, it is enough to have a headache to die, and, here in Guangdong, is there a suitable iron ore, far from it, all of this is what he doesn't know, rather than spending so many gods and hitting so many joints, it is better to collect iron directly!

Liu Ruyes's suggestion to find an iron mine overseas or something, is not reliable, this kind of good thing, but where the powerful regime or Fanguo, where will not be firmly grasped in the hands, from their iron ore to transport ore, one is the cost problem, the second, this is equivalent to grabbing food in other people's pots, it is too easy to have disputes.

To put it mildly, the Victor Chamber of Commerce has been operating in this sea area for many years, even if there is no iron mine, it must have mastered the way to find ore from the iron mine, but even if he Gao Han knows, can he fight other people's ideas, not only can he not fight other people's ideas, but he also has to beware of this people's ideas to fight him, with his current strength, not relying on the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is really not worth mentioning.

It was the batch of iron ingots of the Japanese people that left a deep impression on him, those iron ingots are not messy iron tools, at first glance they are produced by the government, no matter where the government is located, anyway, it is not the power of the people, if the Japanese people really have the ability to take such iron ingots as a long-term business, then, the improved muskets, but they can really be used to exchange these iron ingots, but the quality of those muskets is a little worse, not durable.

As if he had heard his heart, Nohara Shinnosuke's ship swayed into the harbor of Ho Kagyo-o.

The tax collector who boarded the ship this time was not the original one, looking at the boatload full of iron ingots and these fierce people at first glance, the tax collector issued an entry tax of three hundred taels of silver.

However, this time, Nohara Shinnosuke didn't plan to pay this money, it's not that he can't take out the money, since this is such a transaction, he plans to continue for a long time, as his own promotion in the Nine Ghost Family, then, it is necessary to weigh the energy of the trading partner, the last time he left the port, he was exempted from the tax of fifty taels, which can only show that his trading partner has a certain strength.

However, he still wants to know how far this strength is.

Tell the other party directly that this ship of iron ingots is used to trade with the iron factory next to the firearms factory, and he is not unpaid for this tax, but he has to wait for the transaction to be completed, and then pay the tax.

The tax official didn't say a word, turned around and left, this move made Nohara Shinnosuke a little confused, but it didn't take long for the tax collector to lead, a white-faced and beardless official, who seemed to be some way in, came to the ship with a few people.

"You're the owner of the ship that shipped iron to the ironworks?" Qian Lianghu looked at this boatload of people, he had seen so many people, but it was really rare for crooked melons and cracked dates to the point of Nohara Shinnosuke's gang.

"It's just down there, my lord!" Nohara Shinnosuke saw that the tax official was obedient, and knew that the other party was a big man: "It's not that we don't pay taxes, it's just that we are in a hurry, and the silver we bring is not enough, and after the transaction is completed, we will pay the taxes again, and please make it convenient for adults!" ”

"How many iron tools are there!" Qian Lianghu asked loudly, his identity, naturally he couldn't go to the cabin to check, but just now the tax official looked around, and he probably had the details in his heart, and whispered in his ear, Qian Lianghu looked at Nohara Shinnosuke's face, and suddenly felt much better.

"Are all these iron ingots traded with firearms factories?" Nohara Shinnosuke didn't notice that the ironware factory in his mouth had unknowingly become a firearms factory in the mouth of this big man, but it was nothing if he heard it, as long as he could change it to a musket, it would be the same with anyone!

"Yes!" He replied respectfully: "This is only the first batch, if the transaction goes well, there are many more!" ”

"Good, good!" Qian Lianghu smiled slightly: "I like you honest businessmen, I am in charge of your taxes and give you exemption, as long as you come here in the future, this tax is exempted, not only that, if there is something, find our city's ship, our city's company will come out for you!" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Nohara Shinnosuke is overjoyed, this is in the Ming Dynasty, this big man is willing to take care of himself, isn't it that he has someone to take care of at both ends, this is simply a person lucky, it is simply walking to pick up gold!

He doesn't know why this big man treats himself so well, but he can also think of it with his heels, and it is definitely not the reason why he Nohara Shinyuki is handsome, then, the only explanation, that is, the influence of the owner of the ironworks.

Qian Lianghu left on the front foot, and sent someone to Liu Ru is to report the news on the back foot, and he participated in the whole process of the Xiyi cannon, so he naturally knew how important this transaction was to his master.

When Nohara Shinnosuke brought people to the ironware factory, Liu Ru was already waiting there, nothing extraordinary, Liu Ru directly followed Nohara Shinnosuke to the ship and went around, and immediately made a decision, such iron ingots, as many as there are, and whether it is paid in cash or with firearms, they are all accepted.
