Chapter 15 Vomiting Thoughts and Seeking Black Gold Wealth

Pan Fusheng gritted his teeth and lay on the soft chair, next to him, a bottle of medicine was hung high, and an infusion tube injected the medicine in the bottle into his body through the needle on the back of Pan Fusheng's hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info/、qΒ5。 \

Zhao Lei sat opposite Pan Fusheng, holding an iron account and looking at it carefully, through these days of contact, Zhao Lei is now Pan Fusheng's straightforward and humorous personality, informality and know how to enjoy life, is a very interesting fat man, the most important thing is that this fat man has a very vicious eye, and he has a strong enough force in his hands, so it goes with the flow, the relationship between Zhao Lei and Pan Fusheng is getting closer and closer.

"Is my daughter bad! You don't even look at it and shirk it. Pan Fusheng gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Lei and said, he just wanted to marry his fourth daughter who had not left the cabinet to Zhao Lei as a concubine, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Zhao Lei immediately, Pan Fusheng, who couldn't swallow this breath, asked Zhao Lei loudly.

With an angry look on Pan Fusheng, Zhao Lei said with a smile: "Why should Brother Pan be angry, there are so many talented people in Bianjing every year, Brother Pan is afraid that he can't find a good son-in-law, why did he find me!" I have three wives and concubines in my family, and I will take a concubine on the second day of the first month of next month. With the ability of the Pan family, what a good son-in-law can't be found! ”

Looking at Pan Fusheng's still angry face, Zhao Lei smiled and changed the topic and said; "Brother Pan's body has been much better in the past two days, right?"

When Pan Fusheng heard Zhao Lei's words, he waved his arm without needles, and said happily: "It's much better, it's really better." It's strange to say, according to you, can you cure the disease by injecting some water into the body? ”

Zhao Lei looked at Pan Fusheng, who didn't understand anything, with disdain, to know that the potion that Pan Fusheng injected into his body not only had medicine to dilate blood vessels. There are also drugs to lower blood sugar and blood pressure, plus constantly eating all kinds of expensive Western medicines brought by Zhao Lei, the body will definitely improve significantly, after all, in the treatment of internal diseases such as hypertension and heart disease, Western medicine is more effective than Chinese medicine.

"Brother Pan's disease is only temporarily suppressed, although the infusion can suppress the disease, but it cannot be eradicated, once the disease recurs, it will be worse and worse every time, I still say that. Insist on exercising and eating a reasonable diet is the art of longevity. Zhao Lei looked at Pan Fusheng and said indifferently.

"I know, I haven't touched wine these days, I haven't even eaten my favorite fat, and I insist on riding horses every day. But on this kind of day, it's too much to live! Pan Fusheng retorted impatiently.

Zhao Lei looked up at the potion in Pan Fusheng's medicine bottle, turned his head to him and said, "It's not that you don't want to get drunk, but you have to be temperate, besides, you just married a concubine." It's impossible if you don't touch it! ”

Looking at Pan Fatzi, Zhao Lei asked again: "I've always wondered why I was above the court back then." I was able to take over the iron case so smoothly, and few people objected? ”

"It's very simple, Sanshi, you have the support of the official family, and the court also has Lord Wang Su to speak for you, plus I will share the benefits of my hands to those officials and magnates, they have the benefits, there is no need to offend the officials, Lord Wang and Sanshi, this kind of good thing is found there, of course it will not be refuted. Besides, even if you are in control of the Iron Case, the mines are still in the hands of those people, and you can't fly there to take their profits! Pan Fusheng said with a smile.

After Zhao Lei took over the iron case, he has been studying the operation mode of the iron case, the iron case under the third division of the Great Song Dynasty, controlling nine major metal mines and other rare metal mines, the minerals under his jurisdiction mainly include gold, silver, copper, iron, cinnabar, alum, green alum, carbon, tin and other metal minerals, the most important is only gold, silver, copper and iron.

At present, there are nearly 16 gold, silver, copper and iron mines in the Great Song Dynasty, which produce nearly one million tons of various ores every year, of which iron ore accounts for 80 percent, copper ore accounts for 12 percent, silver ore accounts for 5 percent, and gold ore accounts for 3 percent.

Among the four ores, gold, silver, and copper were all stored as currency, and only iron ore was immediately sent to the case, where tens of thousands of tons of steel were smelted every year to make various equipment and supply the Great Song army.

But what makes Zhao Lei feel strange is that the largest mining areas of gold, silver, copper and iron ores and even some open-pit mines have not yet been discovered, and the main mines of the Great Song Dynasty are mostly concentrated in Chengdu Prefecture, near Bianjing and Hebei and other small mining areas.

"In order for me to control the iron case, Brother Pan will give up a lot of interests!" Zhao Lei looked at Pan Fusheng and asked with a smile.

"It's not much, it's just a few small mines and a few industries in Bianjing, and it only loses hundreds of thousands of taels every year." Pan Fusheng waved his hand casually and said.

will lose hundreds of thousands of taels, Zhao Lei smiled bitterly and listened to Pan Fusheng's atmospheric words, no wonder Pan Fusheng is known as the richest man in Bianjing, and he lost hundreds of thousands of taels very casually, you must know that Zhao Lei's pharmacy and folding fan shop are already considered to be a daily income, but the annual profit is only a few hundred thousand taels.

Although Zhao Lei knew that Pan Fusheng was helping him get control of the iron case for the sake of his life, but just let Pan Fusheng lose hundreds of thousands of taels of benefits every year, Zhao Lei knew that this kind of cooperation could not last long, and after a moment of silence, Zhao Lei said tentatively to Pan Fusheng: "Brother Pan! I have some money, but I don't have the energy to manage it, I wonder if Brother Pan is interested in partnering to do some small business? ”

"Small business, don't joke about Sanshi as a brother, look at Sanshi's two shops under your hands, you can earn hundreds of thousands of taels every year, just the 250,000 taels of folding fan given by the official family of Shangyuan Festival, I'm afraid there are at least 100,000 taels into the account! If you want to do three stones, it must be a big deal, how can it be said that it is a small deal! When Pan Fusheng heard Zhao Lei's words, he immediately became interested and said to Zhao Lei with a laugh.

"It can only be a small business, I have already agreed with the officials, when the new army has an establishment, I will set up a new army logistics office, and put all my money-making plans into the new army logistics office, and in the future, the new army's expenditure will come from the new army logistics office, so the big head has been taken away by the officials, and Brother Pan can only drink soup." Zhao Lei felt that it was necessary to communicate with Pan Fusheng, a new ally. So he and the official Zhao Zhendi plan were fully revealed.

When Pan Fusheng heard Zhao Lei's words, he immediately asked in shock: "The new army is at its own expense, isn't this the interest of the private army, is it possible that the official family actually allows you to train a private army?" ”

"It's not a private army, although the logistics office of the new army belongs to the new army, it will integrate the iron case, the case and the ordnance office. A new yamen was established, which was hung under the name of the Ministry of Works, but it was a special department independent of the three divisions, the men, and the Privy Council, and directly obeyed the orders of the officials. Zhao Lei will discuss the matter with the official family and say carefully to Pan Fusheng.

It turned out to be the pro-army of the official family, Pan Fusheng took a rough breath, and the new army that Zhao Lei wanted to engage in was a private soldier model, which was a big crime of rebellion.

"What business do you want to do?" Pan Fusheng asked curiously at Zhao Lei.

"Brother Pan should know that the imperial court has a lot of coal, but these charcoal are basically used in steelmaking, if you try to replace firewood, grass and charcoal. Become a cooking and heating thing! Zhao Lei said mysteriously to Pan Fusheng.

"No way, although the charcoal can burn and the temperature is very high, it has too much smoke and is poisonous. Otherwise, it would have been used for heating and fire. As soon as Pan Fusheng heard Zhao Lei's words, he immediately asserted.

The coal in Zhao Lei's mouth is the so-called coal in later generations, and China is the first country in the world to use coal, which has been mentioned as early as the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". The Western Han Dynasty began to be used for iron smelting, and the Wei and Jin dynasties began to become coal, which has been used to this day.

Carboniferous though has existed for a long time. However, as a fuel, the popularization only began in the Ming Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty only used it as a fuel for ironmaking and military reserves, because coal burned out too much black smoke, and inhaling these black smoke would die due to carbon monoxide poisoning, so the people were very resistant to the use of coal, and only the military ironmaking in the Northern Song Dynasty would use it.

"What if I could really make charcoal burn smokeless and less toxic!" Zhao Lei continued to say mysteriously.

"No smoke, less toxicity. Then it's still toxic. Pan Fusheng looked at the confident and mysterious Zhao Lei, and didn't understand how he could deal with the poisonous coal.

"The poison of charcoal can be neutralized, and the medium of neutralization is air, as long as there is air, it will not be poisonous, but if a room is too closed and there is no air, charcoal will become highly poisonous!" Zhao Lei explained the principle of gas poisoning to Pan Fusheng.

Hearing Zhao Lei's words, Pan Fusheng suddenly realized, but immediately said in confusion: "No wonder someone used charcoal to warm up and died of poisoning, it turned out that the doors and windows were closed too tightly in winter!" But you can't close the doors and windows, so what's the warmth? ”

Zhao Lei heard Pan Fusheng's words, and said with a smile: "This is my turn to make a second fortune, I designed a thing, called a charcoal stove, which can not only improve the efficiency of the use of charcoal to the best, but also can channel the poisonous gas scattered by the charcoal for heating in winter, so that people indoors will not be poisoned if the doors and windows are closed." ”

"Is there really such a thing?" Pan Fusheng asked in surprise, you must know that there are 100 million people in the Great Song Dynasty, every person has to make a fire to cook, and they have to heat up in winter, if charcoal can really replace firewood, grass and charcoal, it is definitely a profitable business, after all, charcoal is not a rare thing, there are many places in the Great Song Dynasty, but except for the imperial court, no one pays attention to it, and no one dares to use it if it is happy to tidy up, if it can really be used by the people, then the charcoal will really become black gold!

"Absolutely! However, once the charcoal and the charcoal furnace appear, it will be controlled by the logistics department of the new army, and the charcoal will become a resource prohibited by the imperial court from mining, and the charcoal furnace will also be controlled by the imperial court, and private manufacturing will not be allowed. Zhao Lei knew what it meant to be a monopoly to make money, so he had already discussed these things with the official family, and said to Pan Fusheng and Pan.

"In that case! So what other benefits can the Pan family take? Pan Fusheng said unhappily, the imperial court prohibits mining and manufacturing, and the Pan family dares to interfere, after all, the imperial court has not cut off the heads of merchants and officials who are prohibited from smuggling military management items, and a treason for treason, and then rip off your title of scholar, click, a few heads are not enough!

"The imperial court can mine and produce, but the imperial court will definitely not do this kind of thing, the only way is to hand it over to the merchants below to act as agents, doesn't Brother Pan want to act as an agent for this thing!" Zhao Lei said with an indifferent smile.

"Agent! Seriously? Pan Fusheng's eyes widened and asked Zhao Lei in disbelief.

"The premise is that I can take down the arsenal and start training the new army, and then I will naturally make the coal and charcoal furnace that can be used, and hand over the sales to Brother Pan, but if it is not ...... the arsenal," Zhao Lei said indifferently.

"Sanshi, don't worry, give Brother Wei three days, and you will definitely be able to get the armory." Pan Fusheng imagined the benefits brought by the coal, and began to grit his teeth and said.

"If possible, find a few more allies, after all, the Great Song Dynasty is so big, and the Pan family can't eat all the agents!" Zhao Lei explained carefully to Pan Fusheng.

"Don't worry, everything is determined by my brother!" Pan Fusheng said confidently.

Zhao Lei saw that he had already said that he had moved Pan Fusheng, so he didn't say more, helped Pan Fusheng finish the infusion, and left.
