Huang Hu's worries are not unreasonable, Song Xiance's origin is unknown, if Wang Teng believes him, it is very likely that he will be fooled into the urn, in case this person plots wrong, Wang Teng will regret it too late.

However, after all, Wang Teng is a person who has seen Infernal Affairs, and he has always been very wary of meticulous work, "It's okay, I know it in my heart."

Huang Hu had to say more, but Song Xiance smiled and said: "Huang Patrol, if you can't trust me, it's better to send someone to keep an eye on me, if I have any changes, you can report it to Mr. Wang Qian as soon as possible."

Huang Hu drew a knife in his hand and said with a cruel smile: "That's too troublesome, I want to kill you with a knife, once and for all."

Wang Teng didn't stop it, as if he wanted to see what Song Xiance was capable of.

If Song Xiance in front of him was really the first army division to assist Li Zicheng, he would never be captured.

Sure enough, just as Huang Hu was getting closer and closer, Song Xiance suddenly sighed, "Huang Xunjian, don't you want to hear what I can do to deal with Jin Liangyu?" ”

This is a bit interesting, Wang Teng seems to have just come to his senses, "Yellow Tiger, don't be rude."

Huang Hu stopped when he heard this, to put it bluntly, he only had a tentative attitude, and he didn't have the intention of killing, "Stinky Taoist, if you have any way, you might as well say it and listen to it, if you can really deal with Jin Liangyu, maybe I can spare your life."

Song Xiance was noncommittal, he sat there without moving a single inch from beginning to end, not to mention anything else, this calmness alone is commendable, "Among the Jin merchants, the Fan family's staple grain, the Jin family's main iron, Jin Liangyu's annual income is eighty percent of this iron, as long as the adult thinks of cutting off his income, the Jin family will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and the adult will win at that time."

The Ming Dynasty banned the export of salt and iron, which is beyond doubt, and the iron can be plugged out. Naturally, it can sprout huge profits.

However, Jin Liangyu has been running this business for a long time, and if Wang Teng wants to insert a lever, he is afraid that it will be particularly difficult.

Huang Hu was also aware of this, and he felt that Song Xiance had a bad idea, "Is it easy to cut off people's financial routes?" If you can't tell you why. I'm not going to keep my hands anymore."

After that, Huang Hu took another step forward, and Song Xiance was still sitting there, "There is a way, but I don't know if adults are willing to do it."

Wang Teng was quite curious, "What way?" ”

Successfully aroused Wang Teng's interest, Song Xiance smiled slightly: "Seventy percent of the iron sold by the Jin family is Fujian iron, and the remaining thirty percent is Jin iron, if you want to succeed, it is better to make iron yourself!" ”

Are you kidding. Is it really about drinking water and eating iron?

Wang Teng shook his head, in his previous life, he was a liberal arts student and didn't understand steel smelting, so he expected the Jerusalem merchant Suros to bring a few iron-making talents.

Now that Song Xiance asked Wang Teng to smelt iron, isn't this a pot that can't be opened?

"It's not easy to make iron, and if the quality of the iron is poor, even if it is smelted, you will lose money in vain."

Song Xiance was complacent, "Don't worry, my lord." As long as you can afford the money, I'll figure out how to do it."

Is there a way out of this?

Wang Teng didn't ask much. "How much silver does it cost to build an iron factory?"

Song Xiance had already prepared, "Silver is needed to mine iron ore, silver is needed to build a blast furnace, and silver is needed to make coal for fire, even if the scale is controlled, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed without three thousand taels of silver."

Convert to RMB. Three thousand taels of silver is two million.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty was cheap to labor, and the blast furnace did not need any high technology, otherwise, let alone two million. Even if you add a zero later, it will be difficult to build an iron factory in the future!

On the one hand, it is of course due to the waste of resources and environmental pollution, and on the other hand, it is also because the market is saturated.

In later generations, alloy equipment was popular, and pure iron products almost had no living space.

The Ming Dynasty is different, at this time the iron is in short supply, the price is high, if you can really produce iron, you will be able to make money!

Under the red firelight, Song Xiance said in a demagogic tone: "Do you know how much silver you can earn with a pound of refined iron? ”

Wang Teng shook his head, "How much can you earn?" ”

Song Xiance took a deep breath, "A pound of iron can be sold for one hundred and fifty yuan, but its cost is only fifty yuan!" ”

Triple the profit?

Wang Teng was stunned, "Is this the price in the gate?" ”

"Yes, the price outside the customs is five hundred yuan!"

A tael of silver and two catties of iron?

This is a huge profit, Wang Teng was completely persuaded by Song Xiance, ******** wants to build an iron factory, "It has become a public opinion that Jin Iron is not as good as Fujian Iron, and now Jin Liangyu controls the price of iron, even if I make fine iron, I am afraid that I can't help him."

The Jin family has finally controlled the price of iron materials, and will never allow anyone to get involved, Wang Teng has already offended Fan Yongdou, and then start an all-out war with Jin Liangyu, is it wise?

Song Xiance disagreed, "Don't worry, adults, you can think about the construction of the factory, and leave the matter of iron production to me!" ”

Wang Teng laughed, "In this way, I only need to build an iron factory, and then I can be a hands-off shopkeeper?" ”

Song Xiance also smiled, "That's right, there are a total of nine iron factories in Shanxi, respectively in Wutai Mountain, Pingxingguan, Ta'er Mountain and Erfeng Mountain, Datong Town here is only one in Lingqiu in Ulzhou, if you really want to build a factory, you can start from Lingqiu."

Lingqiu is subordinate to Ulzhou, and if Wang Teng uses his authority, he may really be able to get a piece of the pie, but Song Xiance is so keen on building a factory to make iron, is it really just to deal with Jin Liangyu?

"Daoist thinks I can build an iron factory?"

Song Xiance bowed his head, "Except for Mr. Wang Qian, I really can't think of anyone else who can do this?" ”

Wang Teng was a little puzzled, "Why me?" ”

"The adults have hundreds of elite soldiers, and there are nobles to help, so they are really the best candidates to build an iron factory."

Wang Teng smiled dumbly, "So, I have to hurry?" ”

"Not necessarily, building a factory is a big deal, and adults can consider it for a while before starting it"

"Okay, I'll give you an answer in a few ****"

Song Xiance was not too disappointed, Wang Teng was naturally not a reckless person today, if he made a decision in a hurry because of a few words, how could such a character achieve great things?

At this time, the smell of meat came to the nose, but it was the wild boar meat on the bonfire that was cooked.

Song Xiance took out the cloth bag and hurriedly sprinkled it on the meat, "My lord, the game is cooked, eat it first as a respect!" ”

Wang Teng smelled a smell of cumin, "But the spices of the Western Regions?" Give me some! ”

Song Xiance was surprised, "Adults also know about this spice?" ”

That's natural, I don't know how much I ate when I grilled lamb skewers in later generations!

Thinking of this, Wang Teng's saliva was about to flow, "Oh, I naturally know such a delicious thing, come on, Huang Hu, bring the spices!" ”

The situation changed too quickly, Huang Hu was a little stunned, just now he was obviously talking about building a factory to make iron, why is he so keen on the spices of the Western Regions now?

Somehow, Huang Hu sprinkled some casually, and almost bit off his tongue after nibbling, "There is such a delicious thing in the world!" (To be continued.) )
