Chapter 706: Mineral Issues

"That's a nice thing to say. Do you say that if you don't sell it, someone else will have it? Xu Song said. At the beginning, we didn't sell, Francophone people did not sell less, and even Daming had private cast cannons, just in Fujian and Guangdong, but the construction was not as good as ours, we didn't sell, the money was made by others, and it is easy to maintain such a large artillery, there are a number of artillery in your army, and now the expansion of the army is powerful after all, all the artillery can not be supplied for a while, and the takeaway thing will be done, but when you are equipped enough, what should you do about the artillery? If it is abandoned, when the time comes to ask for artillery again, it will be gone, and if it is not abandoned, just to maintain the operation of the artillery, the amount of silver spent every year will be as much as 10,000 taels, and where will this silver come from? ”

Xu Song bit a piece of silver, leaving the military speechless for a while.

Zhu Houhuang nodded slightly when he heard this, the technique needs to be maintained, if these number of gunsmiths do not cast cannons for a long time, the future craftsmanship is likely to decline.

I have to say that in this era, cannon casting is still a craft job.

"There is one more thing, I haven't reported to His Highness, that is, our iron ore and copper ore have problems, and now there is a lot of supply, if it is not solved quickly, in the future, we will have to spend a lot of money to purchase raw materials." Xu Song said.

"What?" Zhu Houhuang said. "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, the copper mine is actually an associated mine of the gold mine, the gold ore reserves in Beigang are actually not high, and when the financial difficulties are difficult, they are still digging desperately, the deposit is almost hollowed out, there is not much gold, the copper mine is also facing depletion, and there is still the rest, but deep underground, the cost of excavation is too high." Xu Song said.

"The iron ore?" Zhu Houhuang question.

"The iron mine was originally a small iron ore mine by the sea, and Dongyong needed too much iron ore, not to mention armaments, just the iron ore needs of the people, this small iron mine could not be satisfied. Moreover, since the sea ban, His Royal Highness has asked us to buy iron products, which has accelerated the consumption of iron ore. ”

"Alright." Zhu Houhuang said.
