The luck of the Lan County Commander was good, and when he escorted the ore to Shanyin County, he was just in time for Li Muyun to direct the construction at the ironworks construction site.

Looking at the way it jumped up and down, the county magistrate of Lanxian County almost couldn't believe his eyes, and only after repeatedly checking with the fat man next to him did he dare to believe that it was indeed waiting for Li Muyun.

"Lao Li, Lao Li, the county order of Lan County is here!" The fat man saw that the county magistrate of Lan County had not dared to go over to greet Li Muyun, so he shouted from afar.

"Let him wait a while, he didn't see that I was busy." Li Muyun shouted without looking back, and then continued to command a group of craftsmen: "Get up, get up, slow down, stop ......, and continue to ......."

The county magistrate of Lan County was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, although Li Muyun was a county magistrate like him, but he had a knighthood, and the dignified founding county magistrate was indeed qualified to let him wait.

And Li Muyun actually didn't snub him, judging from his performance of jumping up and down, this Xiaoyao was indeed very busy at this time, and something like a cauldron was slowly being hung up under his command.

"What's that?" After the embarrassment, the Lan County Commander pointed to the 'cauldron' that was hung into the air and asked the fat man.

"Crucibles, for steelmaking." The fat man said with some smugness.

As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven! Once upon a time, he, a fat man who even nodded when he saw the county officials, could already stand side by side with the head of a county at this time.

If this had been put a year ago, it would have beaten the three fat men to death, and he couldn't believe it was true.

"Crucible? For steelmaking? Lanxian County ordered the machinery to turn his head and look at the small blast furnace not far away: "Then, what is that for?" ”

Although he didn't know what it was called, he had just clearly seen a large pile of molten iron still burning out of it, which was now slowly cooling, and not far away, huge pieces of iron that could almost frighten people to death were piled up almost like a small mountain.

"It's called a blast furnace, and it's iron-making!" The fat man replied a little perfunctorily, at this time he only felt that the county order next to him was a turtle who looked fresh, and he didn't have the appearance of a county master at all.

However, the county magistrate of Lan County didn't care, or he didn't feel that the fat man around him was despising him at all, and at this moment he was already shocked by the mountain of iron.

You must know that as a county town that produces iron ore, there are also iron-smelting workshops in his jurisdiction, but compared with here, his iron-smelting workshop is simply the difference between one on the flat ground and one in the sky.

Thinking about his own small workshop, the workshop in it is tiring and tired every day, and it is estimated that he can only practice 100 catties of pig iron.

But looking at the other people's workshop, what kind of 'blast furnace' can be smelted out of such a large piece of iron in a while.

Can't compare, really can't compare, Lanxian County Commander suddenly found that he really came to the right place this time, this stinky foot that is waiting for must be hugged, and he has to hug it to death.

What the? Why don't you hug your thighs, you say? Just kidding, how can Hou Ye's thigh be something he can hold with a small county order, and if it is a stabbing envoy to hug it, it will be almost the same.

I finally understood why Lord Jun would let their county fully supply iron ore in Shanyin County, especially with such a large production capacity, not to mention twice the volume, even if it is twice as much, it is estimated that it is not enough for people.

It's ridiculous that I'm still calculating whether people can use up if I increase iron ore production, isn't this a big knife in front of Lu Ban, oh no, it's a big axe!

Just when the Lanxian county magistrate was thinking about the problem, Li Muyun had already completed the command work at hand and paced to his side: "Lanxian county magistrate, right?" ”

"Huh? Oh! Lan County County Decree Literary Rite has seen the leisurely waiting. After being interrupted by Li Muyun, the county commander of Lanxian County quickly turned around and clasped his fists to salute.

"Hmm!" Li Muyun nodded as a return gift as a gift, and asked casually: "Is there something wrong with Wenfujun coming to this county?" ”

During this time, he had too many high-ranking officials, and a small county order could no longer attract his attention.

Wen Wenli didn't mind Li Muyun's attitude, and when he asked about his purpose, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Hou, that's the case, don't you want to double the amount of ore transported, I'll just think about coming over to talk to you myself, see if we can contact each other, and in the future, we will make a relationship county, and all the iron ore in our county will be supplied to you." ”

This reason is completely made up by Wen Lixian, but it does not mean that he is lying, because he can now be completely sure that Li Muyun has the ability to eat all his ores, all that is left is whether the other party is willing to eat all his ores.

Li Muyun hadn't thought about the proposal of the Lan County County Order at all, and when he heard it suddenly, he only felt a little inexplicable.

You must know that before this, the Xizhou to which the Lanxian County Order belonged had impeached him in a letter, and he was completely an untrustworthy existence, but now this guy suddenly proposed to supply with all his might, which made Li Muyun have to wonder if he had another purpose.

Thinking of this, Li Muyun gave the fat man a look, asked him to go to the construction site on the other side to watch, and then walked to the side with Wenwenli's shoulders and walked to the side, and said to Wenwenli, who looked embarrassed and a little uncomfortable: "Wenfujun, I like your proposal very much, but our Shanyin County is also a poor county, and there is no one to ask for money, so the price is ...... What do you think should be counted? ”

"What about the price?" Wen Li said stiffly.

"As usual? Li is not one of the wronged leaders of the Wang family, if it is the same, I am afraid that I will not be able to eat so many goods. Li Muyun glanced at Wen Li and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner.

He didn't know the price at which the Wang family bought this batch of ore, but he thought that the Wang family should not give too much price, because after all, it was given away, not kept for himself, and the less money was spent, the better.

However, since Li Muyun already knew that the price of this batch of ore was not high, why did he still say that the Wang family was wronged?

In fact, it is also very simple, it is nothing more than to lower the price, and to test the purpose of literary rites by lowering the price.

If he really had an ulterior purpose, he wouldn't care about the price, he would only care about selling the ore to himself.

And if he cares a lot about the price of ore, it means that this guy does have the intention of talking about business, and he is not playing any conspiracy.

It turns out that Li Muyun is indeed thinking a little too much, and Wenli actually really wants to sell all the ore to him.

There are two reasons for this, one is the distance of transportation, the close proximity of the state and the state, and if the two states cooperate, then there is no question of who sets up a card for whom, and it is not that he can save a lot of money by shipping alone.

As for the second reason, it is actually very simple, that is, it is to hold stinky feet.

But even so, Wen Li couldn't lower the price of ore much, because his ore didn't come for nothing, and he needed to pay the workers who opened the mine, and the ore was public, and he also needed to hand over the profits to the state treasury.

Therefore, although the threat in Li Muyun's words was very strong, Wen Wenli still shook his head with difficulty: "Master Hou, this price really can't be lower, the Wang family's bid is already so low that there is almost no profit, if you press it down further, the lower officials are afraid that even their wives and children will have to pay in." ”

"Really?" Li Muyun asked in a half-believing tone.

"Of course, if the lower official has half a lie, I will not die well." In order to hold the stinky feet, the literary ceremony also fought hard, and did not hesitate to swear to beg Li Muyun to believe it.

"That's it, the price will be as you say, but you have to ensure the supply of ore, if it's bad, don't be afraid that you won't be given money."

"No problem, absolutely no problem, twice the volume, Xia Guan can definitely guarantee it."

"Who told you twice as much? Ben Hou is talking about five times the volume, five million catties of ore per year, one pound less Lao Tzu and you to fight a lawsuit. ”

"Five, five, five......" Wen Lili only felt that his little heart was about to jump out, and after a long time of 'five', the three words 'million catties' were not spoken.

You must know that his current annual ore output is less than 1.5 million catties, and 5 million catties is almost three times more than before.

According to the calculation of one penny per catty of ore, it is also 5,000 yuan, excluding nearly 200 yuan of various expenses, and the remaining more than 4,000 yuan.

Rich, rich! Literary rites can almost be encountered, and as long as such a business is done for a year, you can be promoted to the next level.

After all, at the beginning of Zhenguan, Datang's annual tax revenue was only two to three million yuan, and it was distributed to more than 300 state capitals, which means that the average tax cost of each state capital was about 10,000 yuan.

That is to say, if the business with Li Muyun is completed, then Lan County is equivalent to suppressing a lower state with the power of a county, which is undoubtedly a great political achievement for a county order.

Of course, only taxes are counted here, not grain, and Datang implements a two-tax system, and money and grain are separated.

But even this is enough, it has already made Wen Wenli excited and couldn't say a complete sentence, his temples 'clattered', and the cerebral cortex was numb, if it weren't for the fact that Datang ate green food in this era, if it wasn't for his youth, it is estimated that Ya would have been able to have a cerebral hemorrhage directly.

……

In this way, a very normal county order, Shengsheng was stunned by Li Muyun's money, just waiting for the car to be unloaded over there, and rushed back with the convoy without saying a word.

Bunri had to rush back as quickly as possible, and then transport all the stocks in the prefecture to San'in Prefecture as quickly as possible, as for the ore that had been promised to supply other families...... his uncle's, love whoever you love! Finish transporting the one million catties of ore promised to the Wang family as soon as possible, and then make a lot of money, on the way back, Wen Wenli thought so.

And not only that, he is thinking about how many miners he will have to recruit to make it more cost-effective, five million catties of ore a year is not a joke number, and it will not be able to mine it if there are fewer people.
