Xin Qijian wants to come to Lin'an, naturally he is not here to travel, he has his own purpose in Lin'an.

During this time, Xin Qiji and He Chi'an got along, and during the chat, Xin Qiji also learned more or less about the general trend in the future, for example, one of the major trends is that the exhibition is an iron age, and the future war will use guns and steel.

So Xin Qijian fell into his heart, the steam engine or something Maybe I Xin Jiaxuan can't get to the side, but in the matter of iron smelting, Xin Qiji asked himself, and he is still very qualified to participate.

Speaking of the Special Economic Zone, so far, the source of iron ore for ironmaking is mainly the iron ore on the side of Daye, which relies on the Yangtze River and relies on the convenience of water transportation to transport to the Kaohsiung Special Economic Zone, and the cost is not very high. And Daye is just within Xin Qiji's sphere of influence. Xin Qiji has successively held important positions in Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road, in layman's terms, Xin Qiji has served as a provincial leader in Hubei, Hunan and Jiangxi, Daye is subordinate to Jiangxi in this era, Xin Qiji casually stretches out his hand, he can easily handle Daye.

Counting up, Daye's iron ore mining began in the era of Sun Quan, to today in 1191, so far, it has been mined for nearly a thousand years, and, according to He Chi'an's judgment, the iron ore here in Daye is simply endless, according to the current gentle mining rhythm, it can be mined for hundreds of thousands of years.

Of course, He Chi'an will not be wrong, historically, Daye Iron Mine was an important part of the Hanyeping Company (Hanyang Iron Works) engaged by Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty Westernization Movement, during which Daye Iron Mine not only supplied iron ore to Hanyang Iron Works, but also was the main supplier of iron ore to Japan's Yaman Iron Works. Later, when it came to the Celestial Empire, Daye Iron Ore had new exploration results, and became the raw material base of Wuhan Iron and Steel in one fell swoop, which shows that Daye's iron ore reserves are extremely amazing, which is beyond doubt.

In fact, Yue Fei smelted iron in Daye, not only refined a large number of weapons, but also got involved in civilian use, and easily generated a little military spending.

Of course, Xin Qiji understood Yue Fei, because raising an army is definitely a bottomless pit that burns money, and from this point of view, Yue's army is poor at all times, so it is natural to make some money. In the early years, the Northern Song Dynasty collapsed, the world was in chaos, and the military expenses of the imperial court were not settled, so the major resistance forces in the Southern Song Dynasty had to raise their own military funds. For example, in the Song Dynasty, the method of prohibition was adopted in the wine industry, but Yue Fei made wine and sold it in the military camp in his early years to raise military funds, and the same is true in the iron industry. Later, the war gradually subsided, from chaos to governance, Zhao Gou began to rectify, including the reorganization of the army, prohibiting smuggling in the army, military expenses were naturally allocated by the imperial court in accordance with the establishment, but it was difficult to return, and the Great Song Dynasty could only turn a blind eye to the illegal business in the army or something.

When Xin Qiji was in power in Hunan, he concentrated financial resources to train 3,000 elite "Flying Tiger Army", and at the same time, Xin Qiji has been trying to generate income in history in order to prepare for the Northern Expedition. Of course, the current Xin Qiji has not yet gone to Fujian to take power, but at this time, the most important thing in Xin Qiji's heart is the Northern Expedition, for this goal, he doesn't mind that someone attacks him for "gathering".

That's right, Xin Qijian came to Lin'an to "gather", and his plan was to promote the listing of Minmetals Holdings. Circle money, who wouldn't! Of course, to tell a moving story, well, you have to have a proper investment direction, and draw a big pie with stockholders, you can't say that the money in the stock market is for war! However, the direction of investment, this is not to worry at all, Xin Qiji originally had a new investment plan, according to Xin's prospectus, the funds obtained from the listing will be used to build the "Jiuyeping" company.

Why is it the "Jiuyeping" company and not the "Hanyeping Company" in later history? Of course, it is necessary to look at the problem from the perspective of Xin Qiji. Compared with Hanyang, Jiujiang is close to Lin'an and Taiwan, close to the economic center of the Great Song Dynasty, and close to the customer side of pig iron.

As for the coal in Pingxiang, although Pingxiang is in Jiangxi, the coal can only be transported along the Pingshui River in guò boats to the Xiangjiang Port in Xiangtan, Hunan, and then loaded onto a large ship in Xiangtan, and then transported to the Yangtze River through Dongting Lake, and then transported to Jiujiang. The distance of coal transportation is a bit far, but it is not much farther than that of Hanyang, and the distance of water transportation from the Yangtze River down the river is nothing. Therefore, Xin Qiji chose the location of the iron factory in Jiujiang, and in this era, no one can find fault.

In view of the fact that 70 percent of the shares of Minmetals Holdings are in the hands of the imperial court, and 20 percent are in the hands of the Taisong Haimao and Gaojian companies controlled by the imperial court, and only 10 percent of the shares are in the hands of Mao Geng, under such a share structure, Minmetals Holdings is naturally regarded as a government-run company, and such a major event as the listing transaction and the establishment of the "Jiuyeping" company certainly needs to obtain the approval of the imperial court.

Therefore, Xin Qiji's coming to Lin'an this time was to make a mistake and peddle his grand plan.

As soon as Xin Qiji arrived in Lin'an, he immediately visited Zhao Yanbian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and then visited Prime Minister Zhou Bida. Xin Qiji also understood that the emperor would summon him, Xin Qiji was worried in his heart, and he didn't know if his plan would eventually work.

Xin Qiji was waiting for Zhao Yan to summon him, so under He Chi'an's Zhang Luo, a dinner was held in Lin'an Hatang Restaurant.

Those who participated in the banquet were 6 You, Xin Qiji, You Yuan, He Chi'an, Peng Qinfang, Lu Yijian, and Chen Yujie, all four of them were there, and of course Wen Yuan, the master of the Wen Mansion, would not be left behind.

The first three are representatives of the Song Dynasty literary circle, among which You Yuan and 6 You are equally famous, famous for writing poems, 6 You, Yang Wanli, You Yuan, Fan Chengda is known as the "Four Great Poets of Zhongxing", among the four major poets, Yang Wanli is in Jiangxi at this time, Fan Chengda is idle at home, only 6 You and You Yuan are in Lin'an.

Wen Yuan during this period of time in the Lin'an literary circle mixed with the wind and water, at the very least, the name of the novelist is very loud, and after some hype, was respected as the master of popular literature, Wen Yuan's novels have been warmly sought after by the majority of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, if you have to make an analogy, it is no exaggeration to say that Wen Yuan's status in today's Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to the status of Jin Yong in later generations.

With Wen Yuan's invitation, Xin Qiji's arrival, and the "returnees" of the Hatang Kingdom as the east, the two master poets naturally went to the banquet together on this day.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the banquet was originally very harmonious, but when the topic came to Yue Fei, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

The problem lies with Peng Qinfang.

It is said that Peng Qinfang was also obsessed with "The Biography of Yue Quan" when he was young, and he admired Yue Fei a lot. However, as he grew older, Peng Qinfang gradually understood that it was Yue Fei who had been packaged by storytellers and novelists in previous dynasties, and the real Yue Fei was not so godly. After the Internet era, questioning posts about Yue Fei's achievements on the Internet suddenly popped up at some point, and there were more than one or two questioning voices in the jar, and after reading too many such posts, Peng Qinfang also joined the questioning camp.

Peng Qinfang is a very serious person, and at the banquet, Peng Qinfang, who drank two more glasses, couldn't help but talk about it.

In fact, Lao Peng did not deliberately belittle Yue Fei at the banquet, but only emphasized that Yue Fei's record against Jin Bing may not be as amazing as imagined, and even most of the time, Yue Fei's victory over Jin Bing can only be called a miserable victory, and it is not as divine as the folk say!

Peng Qinfang gave an example, the Yingchang victory played by the Yue Jiajun, and the good news on the report was written like this:

"From the time of the hour to the noon, there were dozens of bloody battles, killing one person in ten thousand households and five people in a thousand households. The thieves were all over the field, about 500 people, and the number of seriously injured thieves is unknown. He has captured countless horses, gold, drums, flags, guns, armor, etc., ------"

Peng Qinfang, like those who questioned Yue Fei's achievements, thought that killing more than 500 enemies was not worth boasting about at all, let alone a big victory! And in this good news, it only said that more than 500 enemies were killed, but he didn't talk about his own casualties, it must be known that the battle of Yingchang was 40,000 of the Yuejia army against 30,000 Jin soldiers and cavalry, and the loss of more than 500 Jin soldiers was lost, and the loss of living force was very limited, and afterwards Yue Fei wanted to cure the crime of Wang Gui, the commander of the battle, so it is speculated that the casualties of the Yuejia army were not light.

In this way, Peng Qinfang cited them one by one, and finally came to the conclusion that the duel between the Yue family army and the Jin soldiers should be a tie for no one. Because Yue's army is mainly infantry, and its mobility is not as good as that of the Jin soldiers, the deeper it goes into the north, the more it is overwhelmed, and there is no certainty of victory, so it is actually a bit wishful thinking to expect Yue Fei to recover the Central Plains.

This time 6 swims are gone. Someone even openly attacked the god of war in his mind, which is intolerable! 6 tours are Yue fans, as evidenced by poems:

First: the dignified Han Yue two powerful generals, control can restore the Central Plains.

Under the guidance of the king, Gu used Jinling as the north gate!

Second: The mountains and rivers have been obedient since ancient times, and Jingluo is really unheard of.

The thief once obeyed his father's order, and the remnants still looked forward to the Yuejia army.

God repents and repents in the end, who is willing to disperse the group with justice?

Bai knows that he is sparse to serve the country, and he still wishes the furnace to smoke with his essence.

If it weren't for the fact that Peng Qinfang is now the emperor's imperial doctor, and it is said that for the sake of medical ethics in the Special Administrative Region, 6 You would even accuse Peng Qinfang of being a spy of the Jinren.

The other three traversers couldn't laugh or cry, why are you so serious! The people of the Southern Song Dynasty need a heroic idol, and it is precisely because they can't beat the Jin soldiers that they need an idol even more, Yue Fei, who can defeat the Jin soldiers and thwart the Jin soldiers in the field, is the best idol candidate unconsciously. Just like the Yang Jiajiang in later films and television, the audience loves to watch it, even if they know that it is fiction, the audience is willing to believe it.

Lao Peng, do you have to pierce the truth in it!

Fortunately, Chen Yujie's subsequent statement turned around well.

According to Chen Yujie's words, the Yuejia army is dominated by infantry, and it is not easy for the infantry to be able to resist the cavalry in the field, and it is even more commendable that the Yuejia army can repel the Jin soldiers. As for the casualties of their own side, even if the exchange ratio is three for one, considering that the source of Jin soldiers is limited, the total number of genuine gold soldiers is about 100,000, so the gold soldiers cannot afford to consume, from this point of view, the victory of the Yue family army is beyond doubt.

As for the Northern Expedition, the Yuejia Army was a regret back then, the Great Song Dynasty has been diligently seeking to restore the Central Plains since the shame of Jingkang, Chen Yujie patted his chest and said, such a situation will not last for a few years, and within five years, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to wave the Northern Expedition and sweep the Jin soldiers.

So, 6 You turned his anger into joy.

Chen Yujie's ability 6 You has heard of it, and it is said that the guns made by the Special Administrative Region are sharp, and everyone is invincible, 6 You nodded, and he believed it in his heart for a long time. After all, the past is not as good as looking forward to the future, the past cannot be admonished, the coming can still be chased, and the feeling of living in hope is always good, alas! I just don't know if I can see the day of the Central Plains in Beiding when I am alive.
