The distribution of iron ore in "The Real World" is actually set with reference to the distribution of ore points in the real world.

However, after all, the game is a game, and it is impossible for all settings to refer to the real world, especially when it comes to iron ore for territorial development. Therefore, in some places where there are no mineral resources in the real world, there are also mineral resources in the game, which is convenient for the development of the player's territory, but these mines are the most common minerals, which can only meet the needs of basic metal products.

And those real-world ore spots are rich in a variety of ores in the game, and the reserves, quality and grade of the ores far exceed those of other places. As we all know, the earth has a lot of oxygen, and many minerals exist in the form of oxides, such as ferric oxide and ferric tetroxide in iron ore. The grade of the ore can be understood as the percentage of the total weight of the useful element portion, and generally speaking, the higher the grade, the less impurities and the easier it is to refine.

In Tangyi County, Guangling County, Xuzhou, there is an iron ore mine nearby, and the ore produced there is better than other places in Guangling County in terms of quantity, quality and grade, and it also has an advantage in price.

Most of the player forces established in Tangyi County are mainly in the mining industry, but those high-quality and high-grade ore veins are all in charge of the official iron officials set up here by the imperial court. The player forces can only dig up the most ordinary Jiupin iron ore and drink soup behind the butt of the imperial court, those high-quality iron ores can't be their turn at all, and ordinary player forces can't even buy high-quality iron ore.

Of course, this is only limited to ordinary player forces, and for some players with status and status, their territory can still buy some high-quality iron ore. Therefore, Han Kang, the president of the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce, specially came to Tangyi County to discuss the sale of iron ore with the county order.

The Tianjian Chamber of Commerce has been a third-level chamber of commerce for a long time, and is now a fourth-level chamber of commerce, with a 40% movement speed bonus, and allows the sale of fourth-level equipment, as well as the ability to buy seventh- and eighth-grade iron ore.

Han Kang, as one of the earliest king-level merchants in Flying Sky City, is now an emperor-level merchant and is Lu Shuang's right-hand man in foreign trade. This time, he was also ordered to come to Tangyi to import a large amount of ordinary iron ore to maintain the huge iron ore consumption in Fuhaizhou, as well as to import an eight-grade iron ore called Xuanjiao, which is one of the raw materials necessary for the manufacture of gold-class warships.

The Cai County Commander of Tangyi heard that Han Kang, the president of the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce, came over today and personally greeted him at the teleportation array. The force behind the Tianjian Guild is Feitian City, which is not the player forces in Tangyi County, but the territory of the current Haidong Hou, Zhendong General, and Yizhou Mu Lushuang. Although Cai Xianling has always looked down on players and thinks that strangers are not easy to get along with, his attitude towards Lu Shuang is different, and his explanation to himself is how Lord Haidonghou can be compared to other players, and he seems to regard Lu Shuang as "his own person" in his heart.

What's more, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Lu Shuang's army rescued the besieged county seat, and it can be regarded as a life-saving benefactor of Cai County, so he was polite to Han Kang.

And I heard that Lu Shuang plans to buy a large amount of iron ore in his place, as a local official, this is also a good political achievement for him, and he can also get some "points" in various processes.

"This is a fine wine from Feitian City, although it is not as good as Du Kang wine, but it is also a rare good wine, Han someone specially brought it to the county order to taste it." Han Kang was good at dealing with all kinds of businessmen and officials, and this small county made him naturally very proficient in dealing with them.

"It's really good wine, the county order is here to thank President Han for his hospitality, and I also trouble the president to say hello to Haidonghou for me." Cai Xianling said with a smile.

"Haha, that's nature, Haidonghou very much hopes to know the county order."

After eating and drinking, at Han Kang's request, Cai Xian Ling took Han Kang in a sedan chair and came to the mine of Tangyi Xuaniron Mine.

In fact, before the reception, the price of ordinary iron ore and black iron ore had been negotiated, to be precise, the price per unit of ore was not much different, and the county order did not have pricing power, but only negotiated how long the cooperation would take, how many times to provide, and how many units of ore to provide at one time.

It's just that the output of this dark iron ore is really low, according to the data given by the county order, the daily output of all the black iron ore in the entire Tangyi County is less than 300,000 units, which is to supply all buyers, and Feitian City has a share of 50,000 units per day.

Cai Xianling explained that it was not that they did not want to buy it, that there were many dark iron ore veins that had not yet been developed, but that there were not enough miners who could mine eight-grade iron ore.

This is another disgusting part of the system setting, in reality, everyone can mine and cut trees, but in the game there is a certain threshold, not ordinary people can dig if they want to mine, and they can cut trees if they want to. If you want to mine high-quality raw materials, you must understand the corresponding professional skills, for example, only junior miners can dig eight-grade ore, and so on, intermediate miners dig seven-grade ore, senior miners dig six-grade ore, and special miners dig five-grade ore.

"At present, there are nearly 3,000 junior miners responsible for mining the iron ore, and the average person mines 100 orders a day. It's not that we don't want to provide production, but that's all for miners above the junior level, and there are several other kinds of eight-grade iron ore besides the baite, and we also need to send junior miners over. Cai Xianling said helplessly, he also wanted to sell more ore, but he didn't have to sell it.

"I see."

Han Kang thought for a while, the daily output of 50,000 units of black iron ore will definitely not be able to meet the needs of Feitian City, but there is no way, the county order has also been coordinated, and the output problem will not be solved in a while.

"Cai County Order, Han just noticed that there are still a lot of dark iron veins in Tangyi, and some have not even been developed, mainly because the primary miners restrict the output of the ore, so as long as the problem of the junior miners is solved, the problem of output will also be solved?" Han Kang grasped the key point and asked.

"That's right." Cai Xian Ling nodded.

"Then the county order you see that this is okay?" Han Kang was a wealthy businessman, and quickly grasped his own strengths and the other party's shortcomings, and suggested, "Let the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce send junior miners, and Tangyi County will fund the employment of these junior miners, so that the output of Xuaniron ore can be quickly increased." Although the county or iron officials need to pay to hire these junior miners, the income is still quite large at the price of black iron ore. ”

Cai Xianling's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "So good!" Although I can't make decisions directly, as long as I communicate, it can still be achieved. I just don't know how many junior miners there are in the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce, and what are the salary requirements? ”

"The Tianjian Chamber of Commerce still needs at least 200,000 units of baite ore every day, and based on the calculation that a junior miner mines 100 units of ore per day, about 2,000 junior miners can be sent over. As for the salary, it only needs to be eighty percent of the ordinary junior miners, and the rest is made up by the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce. Han Kang said truthfully.

"President Han might as well make a big deal, if the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce can send five thousand junior miners, the county order is willing to add another one percent to the salary of ordinary junior miners, and as long as the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce wants to buy what kind of iron ore in Tangyi County, the county order will try to meet it, how about it?"

Cai Xian Ling must know that the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce does not have many junior miners, and they are all supported by the Flying Sky City behind him, but he might as well make a big deal. Although it would cost a lot to hire 5,000 junior miners and raise their salaries by 10%, it was nothing compared to the proceeds from selling the mines.

"This Han wants to ask the rest of the Chamber of Commerce, but I don't think it's a big problem." Han Kang still had a little right to speak in the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce and Feitian City, and continued, "But Han made a few small requests, that is, the junior miners sent by the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce must ensure their safety, so it will send a team of soldiers to be stationed near the minerals." These 5,000 junior miners must work in separate veins or pits, and cannot be mixed with other miners. In addition, the Tianjian Chamber of Commerce will build a blacksmith shop near the vein for direct smelting of baite. ”

"That's totally fine."

After thinking for a while, Cai Xianling agreed on the spot, this does not need Han Kang to say that he will send soldiers to protect the safety of five thousand junior miners, after all, if something happens to him, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to Haidong Hou Lushuang at that time, and it will also hinder him from doing business.
