When Zhang Guoan's ship No. 001 passed by a river, he saw black smoke rushing into the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It seems that the order he arranged before leaving to open up the wasteland and build the wharf was still faithfully observed.

He didn't dock, let them go first.

Zhang Guoan now understands the situation of Huang Zu's head, and it is not bad, he just sent someone back half a month ago to send back a batch of iron ore, which can have dozens of tons.

Less is less, but this is the first batch, and those iron ore grades are still very high.

Hu Zhenbei blacksmith said: "These iron sand are really good, and they can be used directly to make steel." ”

Zhang Guoan said: "Save more, don't be in a hurry, I brought back thousands of stones of good iron this time." ”

Zhang Guoan also brought some tobacco leaves to the blacksmith, all of which were kneaded, which was enough for two catties.

He tore up a blank piece of paper and taught the blacksmith Hu Zhenbei to roll dry tobacco.

The blacksmith Hu Zhenbei took two sips and said, "The taste is not good, far better than the previous ------."

Zhang Guoan held a pipe in his mouth and ignored him, it would be good to have it.

Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei glanced at the pipe and immediately understood how the object was made.

The blacksmith Hu Zhenbei then said: "------ but very strong! ”

Zhang Guoan still didn't pay attention to him, so he wanted to go elsewhere.

Hu Zhenbei's blacksmith suddenly turned red at this time, and he was speechless.

Zhang Guoan is still a little strange, can this dry tobacco still be on his face?

Hu Zhenbei's blacksmith saw that Zhang Guoan's family was really leaving, so he said it, it turned out that he had taken a fancy to a little lady and wanted to ask for the consent of the head of the family.

Zhang Guoan thought for a while and said: "Men love women, it's normal for people to love." What do you mean by not going to talk to her, and to talk to me? ”

"I want to ask the host to match ------"

Zhang Guoan understands that due to the strict way of quiet management, there are not many opportunities for these men and women to meet.

He agreed, ready to speak quietly.

Hu Zhenbei blacksmith was happy. I don't know what to say.

The newcomers are finally all arranged, and they can settle down for the time being.

The cargo is still being lifted, but they have to finish the hired ship first.

The salt works now produce about 2,000 tons of sea salt and more than 100 tons of refined salt.

Zhang Guoan grinned, this is too little, and the scale of the salt field must be increased.

However, he knew that this would also scare those Great Song merchants.

Now, they still use stone as a unit of calculation, so they can't have much more supplies.

Zhang Guoan calculated, according to the price of the Great Song Dynasty. This thousand tons of sea salt can be exchanged for more than a thousand tons of good iron; The price of refined salt can be higher-------

Zhang Guoan found the captains of the hired sea ships, told them that they would use sea salt as transportation costs, and asked them to go to the city to exchange for good iron and cotton cloth, and then come back to transport salt.

The captains of the sea vessels agreed at the time, and it was a safe and lucrative business.

The cost of transportation for sea vessels is extremely low.

However, it cannot be said that they did not lose anything when they came back this time, and the dhow disappeared in a medium-sized storm------ as it turned out. Again, the bigger the boat, the safer.

Although they were not the people Zhang Guoan found, they also made Zhang Guoan feel uncomfortable.

This shipment was delivered in a timely manner. A little later, some of the people they left behind might have to wear sackcloth.

The quality of cotton cloth in this time and space is too poor, and Zhang Guoan has always had the urge to open a cotton spinning factory.

However, it is not yet time, and the problem of survival will be solved first.

Zhang Guoan also asked them to bring some marinated and smoked whale meat. Let them go to the market to try the water and see if this Great Song folk can accept this product.

If it works, then you may really have set off a whale culture!

There are also some small pieces such as dried fish and shark skin, so I don't need to go into details.

Important chemical products are potassium nitrate and sulfur.

Zhang Guoan thought that this product could have such a use from the last time when the commander complained that other officials asked him for potassium nitrate.

The Badaohe area can now produce up to one ton of potassium nitrate per day. And it can also be expanded, so it is not afraid to sell to the Great Song Dynasty.

When he came back this time, Zhang Guoan decided to get chloric acid/potassium out, and this thing is the real good thing.

After Zhang Guoan explained his arrangements to the captains one by one, he waited for them to ask questions to see if they didn't understand anything.

At this time, one of the captains asked, but it had nothing to do with the cargo.

The man asked, "The little one wants to ask the bow of the boat, can the little one buy some mule-style cement?" ”

Zhang Guo'an was convinced, this guy must have seen the salt pond, and also inquired about the use of Romanesque cement.

Where did these people, like the merchants, see only the salt ponds?

They are interested in everything new.

When they arrived at the salt pan in a swordfish boat, they squatted down and understood the use of the so-called mule-style cement, so that the sea salt would not be mixed with the sediment in the end.

Zhang Guoan said: "It's not that it doesn't sell, you see, I still live in a bamboo building, and the output of Romanesque cement is not high." ”

The man said, "If the output is high in the future, will it be sold?" ”

Zhang Guoan said: "Of course. If you want to set up a cement factory here, I can tell you the secret recipe. ”

He thought to himself, how can there be any secret recipe, if there is a mine, burn it.

But he knows that the people in this plane pay attention to this -------

The captains of the sub-sea ships had their eyes lit up at that time, and said, "Can I get the secret recipe?!" ”

Zhang Guoan said: "In this way, you can discuss, pool money together to open a kiln factory here, rest for two days, send my batch of goods away, and after the delivery is back, let's sit down and talk!" ”

Those people hurriedly said: "It's only a few days of sea journey, there is no need to rest, after loading the goods, I will leave later!" ”

Zhang Guoan is happy in his heart, as long as you have the desire to do business, everything is easy to do.

The first to start building the factory was the workshop of Wang Quan, the owner of the leather mill.

He really pulled a few partners, but they only sent helpers, but he came in person, because he invested a lot and couldn't help but care.

The place Zhang Guoan assigned to him was downstream of the creek in the Badaohe area, so that the river water on this side could not be polluted.

When Wang Quan first arrived, he went to see the so-called leather craftsman processing here, and after seeing it, he said with red eyes: "Zhang Chuangong, the high-grade leather has been processed into inferior------- moreover, they can't cut the skin, the skin is too thick, it can be cut into three layers!"

That whale skin, if it is handed over to Yu to deal with, it can be divided into ten layers------- what a pity!"

Zhang Guoan thought about it and understood the reason, they should use leather to make armor, and Wang Quan refers to civilian leather products, which are two concepts.

At this time and space, the people of the Great Song Dynasty still have a high demand for leather products------- Zhang Guoan persuaded him: "You can rest assured to build a factory, there will be leather in the future." ”

Now, they immediately stepped up their whaling business, and after this time, they only caught two heads.

That's too inefficient. (To be continued.) )
