Chapter Fifty-Nine: This Iron City Becomes a Machine Capital

Wu Ming from Lu County received the post, read it, and said with a smile: "It's Lord Huang who invites you, and Wu will go to meet you!" ”

Wang Yizhou said with a smile: "Now that the letter has been delivered, the junior will leave!" With that, he left, and he wanted to rush back to Pingxian before dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Ming called the housekeeper to send it, opened the post and read it again.

Wu Ming's wife asked, "Master, what is Huang Xiancheng looking for you?" ”

Wu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know!" He only invited me to meet, but he didn't say anything! We'll find out tomorrow! ”

At this time, Li Qi came to Zhang Qian's mansion in Jiu County.

Zhang Qian heard that Zhang Qing's aunt was here, so he invited him into the main hall to meet him and took the post sent by Li Qi! He looked at it and asked, "I don't know what?" ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Actually, it's a matter of Meixian taking charcoal to make iron!" My father-in-law wants to invite Zhang Yuanwai to go with him to make a fortune! ”

Zhang Qian, as a big family in Jiu County, is still related to Zhang Qing. He also has a large industry, and as a wealthy family in Jiu County, he also has a lot of farm households. He had already heard about Meixian. Nodding his head, he said, "I'll meet tomorrow!" I'm tired of my nephew! ”

Li Qi didn't stay long, so he took his leave.

On the second day, at noon, the group met in Feibai Building in Ping County. Huang Youfang immediately said what he meant, and several people understood.

Zhang Qian smiled: "This is a good thing! Thank you Huang Yuanwai, Brother Zhang is still thinking about Zhang! But I still know a few big families below, why don't you call them to go with you? ”

Wu Ming also said: "That's right! I also know each other in Amaki, so let's call them along! ”

Huang Youfang nodded and said, "That's fine!" I'll meet at the Li family in Meixian County! Where there is a flying white building in the downtown area! Come and get together then! ”

Zhang Qing also said: "Meixian County has iron and charcoal, and it will be beneficial to buy an industry in Meixian County in the future!" ”

Several people laughed heartily. The two of them were far away and went back one after another.

Huang Youfang and Zhang Qing immediately collected almost all of their households and came to Meixian, built a lot of iron stoves, and also divided a lot of people to go to charcoal.

After waiting for a few days, when Wu Ming and Zhang Qian came, they were not alone, there were more than a dozen at once, if you really talked about it, they were all neighboring counties, but they were neighbors, and they had already gone out of several counties.

Zhang Qing took them to point out the place, found the charcoal field and the mine, followed them to mine, and led them to see the iron furnace, pottery kiln, and coke kiln, and these people also threw themselves into this iron-making tide one after another.

In a month's time, nearly 100,000 people have gathered in Meixian County, and nearly 800 small blast furnaces have been built, but most of them are novices, and the iron smelted is miserable, and they are all pointed back by Qin blacksmiths and pulled back to the furnace for re-refining! After so many times, it was a miserable toss for the uncles in these places, and then he was patient, learned from Zhang Qing and these people, honestly smelted the molten iron, and after the mold was put down, it was transported to the Ningjia Iron Factory and sold to the Qin blacksmith.

After a month of work, Blacksmith Qin saw that the iron collected was piling up more and more, but his more than 3,000 people couldn't beat it. I had to find Zhao Yan to talk about it.

Zhao Yan immediately summoned Li Laosi, the steward of the Ning family's charcoal digging, back, and said: "You don't need to dig charcoal in the future, in the future, you can take your people and listen to the Qin steward to go to the iron!" ”

Li Laosi had nothing to do, he didn't mind striking iron or digging charcoal, he listened to the instructions of the master's family, and responded, so he summoned people, listened to the words of Qin blacksmith, and arranged for people to go to iron striking. At this time, the blacksmith Qin's iron-striking team had swelled to six thousand!

Blacksmith Qin looked at the pieces of iron that had been piled up everywhere on one side, and the finished weapons everywhere on the other! The heart of death is gone, and the existing warehouses can't be piled up! He's coming to Zhao Yan again!

Zhao Yan personally saw that the warehouses prepared before were all piled up so quickly, it was only a little more than a month, and he didn't expect the craftsmanship of these blacksmiths to be very fast.

Blacksmith Qin was speechless, the molten iron was directly formed into the mold, and the job of these people was to polish it into a blade!

Zhao Yan waved his hand to let this Qin steward go back, and when he turned around, he flew a pigeon and sent a message to Shendu. Now that the weapons are ready, it's time to get moving!

In the harem of the Zhonghua Palace of the Divine Capital, the Lingzhu girl took the letter and handed it to Li Qingluo, Li Qingluo read it, and told the Yuhong girl lying on the bed that the Yuhong girl was going to give birth in more than a month at this time, and her belly was already swollen, but she was also concerned about the affairs of Meixian.

Li Qingluo wrote a reply and also arranged for Nuwa to teach the matter of transporting weapons.

Miss Huang's belly was already big at this time, and Miss Zhang could only lie on the bed every day, only Miss Qiao still had a thin waist, taking care of them every day, and by the way, teasing Zhao Lang, doing some embarrassed blushing heartbeat exercises. In fact, she was also pregnant for more than a month, so she took the letter and showed it to Sister Huang.

Zhao Yan got the reply, so he arranged for the weapons to be transported north, and gradually in a few days, day and night, these knives, guns and arrows, these weapons, were reduced a little. At this time, there was another problem, the bills of Fulong Money Village were not fine, but the money was almost lost to these big merchants. At this time, five million Tang catties of iron had been collected, and 100,000 strings of copper plates had been spent! This is a festival to hollow out Fulong Bank!

In order to deal with this problem, Zhao Yan had no choice but to discuss with Miss Huang, and wrote a letter to Shendu to inform Li Qingluo!

Li Qingluo looked at the letter, looking at the first few pages of affectionate letterhead, she was emotional, and there was water flowing under her, so she continued to read, and then she saw what Zhao Yan was going to say.

Zhao Yan first expressed his nostalgia for a few beauties in the letter, dreaming of things every night, and finally said that Fulong Qianzhuang had already spent all the money, and he wanted to mobilize the power of the major water systems in the country to jointly sell iron tools, and then exchange it for money.

Li Qingluo replied, she also wrote her heart's affection, and also agreed with Zhao Yan's method. Subsequently, the power of the Nuwa Sect across the country, as well as the power of the imperial court, was mobilized.

Subsequently, Nuwa sisters from all over the country, as well as some large and small merchants mobilized by local governments, drifted all the way to Xuxian County in large and small ships, and trafficked a large number of iron tools here! At this time, Xu County has become the largest iron trading market in Datang, the various wharves of Xu County, the daily size of the ships are endless, Xu County with the great development of Mei County, it has also risen, as for the south of a little bit of Ping County, as the two closest counties of Mei County, it has also obtained an unprecedented opportunity for great development.

This year, the merchants of all over the Tang Dynasty successively learned about the iron tools in Meixian County, and those who had the way, ideas, and money to spare took the boat one after another to rush to this iron capital, or sell ironware, or mine charcoal and make iron, or do both! There are also many people who have started related industries, such as pottery, porcelain, bricks, tiles, charred, lime, and so on! And Zhao Yanzheng is thinking of using this iron capital to transform! He wants to turn this iron capital into a machine capital! The heavy industry center of Datang in the future! It has iron and coal, and some people have money, which can be described as the right time and place, all of them! The future is promising!

At this time, with the trafficking of iron tools and the Fulong Money Village that bloomed everywhere along the water system, the Ning family's ticket business also grew stronger and stronger!

In the end, in half a year, this emerging iron capital has gathered more than 500,000 people, nearly 4,000 small blast furnaces, and more than 5 million Tang catties of iron per day.

With the development of time, it is presumable that more and more people will gather in this emerging iron capital, until it is not difficult to break through nearly one million people. This is the age of iron, and the future belongs to iron! This era of industry began with coal and iron!
