"Our mines don't seem to be working. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info" Meng Fang said Guo Sheng, who was a little anxious to find.

"The reconnaissance report from the front reported that the Goguryeo people used bayonets to create the mines we had buried underneath bit by bit. And they are not yet within the range of artillery. I wondered, if this continues, will the mines we have carefully placed still be useful? Meng Fang said anxiously when he saw such a report.

The mines laid out by Zhao State are all unguarded, while the mines arranged by Qin State are simply defense in front of the position, not as a mine array like Zhao State.

"Wait and see, it's not the time yet." Guo Sheng said.

"Wait and see, and they'll be in our artillery positions." Meng Fang said a little anxiously.

"Wait, that's all we have for now. Reinforcements will come. The interests of this Yan State and our Zhao State are now very closely related, and I think the Zhao State side will definitely send reinforcements, but it really can't be done, so we will ask the Yan State side to release that kind of chemical gambling. Guo Sheng said to Meng Fang.

Hearing this, Meng Fang glanced at the other party. Maybe you really need to release your anger to solve the problem. Meng thought with confidence.

In the palace of the Prime Minister of Handan, Zhao State.

"You've all heard about it, right?" In the conference room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Mu said to the invited Zhao Guo Handan Iron Works, as well as the shareholders of the iron works, and the investors who intend to participate in the construction of the iron works.

"In Liaodong of the Yan Kingdom. The specific location is in the range of about 100 to 200 to the south of Xiangping, there is a large amount of iron ore, although these iron ores are poor ore. But the number is very abundant, and this news has been confirmed. Li Mu said to everyone.

"It seems to be true. Since what the prime minister said is true. Then it must be true. An investor said to an investment partner next to him.

"If that's the case, that's great. Just develop it and you're good to go. In the future, the demand for iron will increase dramatically, and this is the biggest deal. The investor continued. Everyone present also nodded and discussed.

Li Mu saw that everyone was very interested in developing iron ore. Then his affairs will be easier.

"With iron ore, then, we have to develop it, we have a Handan iron plant in Zhao, iron smelting capacity has gradually increased, the fifth plant has been put into operation recently, the sixth to twelfth factories have come to an end, as far as the future is concerned, Zhao's iron ore demand has been unable to meet the production of iron plants." Li Mu said.

"But looking at the world, the demand for iron has grown. The Qin state is currently concentrating on the production of steel, and they have slowed down the production of iron. Therefore, their demand for iron is very large, but the current production capacity is so large, it can be said that the production of iron is very important, and the demand is also very large. Li Mu to investors.

"Does the prime minister want us to invest in iron ore mining in Yan Kingdom?" At this time, Zhao Cang asked. He is the fifth major shareholder of Handan Iron Works. The investment is very large, of course. He is currently very rich, because the stock price of Handan Iron Works has risen a lot, and the shareholders' meeting of Handan Iron Works has made a share dividend. He has a lot of money in his hands to invest.

"Yes, invest in the iron ore of Yan Kingdom, in this way, the iron ore demand of our Zhao Kingdom will be satisfied, and our iron factory of Zhao Kingdom will obtain great benefits." Li Mu said.

"It's just that transportation, Yanguo also needs to strengthen the construction of railways, we know that Yandu to Liaodong, only some sections of the road have railways, especially Liaodong, there is still no railway, which requires the construction of railways, the ownership of the railway, Yanguo people must be arguing with us." Zhao Cang continued.

"Not only these, iron ore, the ownership of mining, Yan people will not give up easily, in this way, the funds needed are very large, such a large amount of capital investment, Zhao Guoke has never had." Yu Qing said worriedly. He is also an investor, and for investment, he also follows the Qin people, and the Qin people will not invest a lot of money in a project. For the iron ore project, especially on the territory of Yanguo, this concern made him feel that he should not invest more money.

"Hmm. The Yan State has promised to let our Zhao State's funds occupy the lion's share, and the Qin people will also participate, and when the time comes, we will work with the Qin people to do this project, the railway, and the iron ore project. Li Mu said.

"Will the people of the Qin Kingdom also get involved?" Zhao Cang asked cautiously.

"Yes. Originally, I planned to let the people of Zhao Guo do it ourselves, but after thinking about it again, our Zhao Guo's funds are too small, and if we gather together, we can do such a thing, but the risk is too great. And we also need the support of the bank, and the bank of Zhao State cannot support us to do such a thing, so we can only rely on the people of the Qin State, so I think that cooperating with the people of the Qin State is the best way. Li Mu said.

"The construction of the Liaodong Railway can maximize the interests of Zhao and Qin, and at the same time minimize the risks of Zhao, which is very beneficial to Zhao." Li Mu continued.

"In this way, this kind of project is very good. It's just that it's not enough to simply transport iron ore. After all, this is a poor iron ore, not a rich mine. Although the cost of rail transportation is relatively low, after all, there is a cost, and if it can be built into an iron plant locally, I think it is still the best. That's when an investor said.

"No one knows if there is coal in the area, and if there is, I think it's easy to say. I don't think it's as good as this, we have a lot of coal in Zhaoguo, and we can transport coal, or coke stone, to Yan and build an iron factory in Yanguo, I think it's much more cost-effective. One investor thought for a moment and said.

"Will the establishment of an iron factory in Yanguo have a great impact on us?" Yu Qing asked.

"This. Definitely. One investor said.

"In addition, there is the trade of the Yan Kingdom, and the Liaodong of the Yan Kingdom is close to Goguryeo. Now that the Goguryeo people are going north, if we can send troops, or if we can send troops together to keep these Goguryeo people here and make them slaves, I think this trade harvest will be very great. The construction of the railway required a large number of slaves, not only for the Zhao State, but also for the Qin State, and this kind of business was very convenient to do. And it's a promising business. Li Mu continued. This was done in exchange for the nobles' troops.
