Zhang Tie's words about preparing for the holy war are certainly not empty words, that is, at noon on the second day of the completion of the cemetery for the victims of Eskir City, the five elders of the Ice Giant Bear Tribe and the Spencer family sat down with Zhang Tie again and began to discuss the issue of dealing with the holy war very formally.
Just yesterday, what Zhang Tie said outside Eskir City, it was not only the ordinary people who were affected, the five elders who sat with Zhang Tie, except for Elder Shalin, the faces of the others were not very good.
The meeting took place on a manor house established by the Spencer family outside the city of Eskil, where they had left the cemetery of the victims in Eskil.
This was originally the place where the patriarch of the Spencer family vacationed outside the city, but at this moment, it was the place where Zhang Tie was recuperating from his injuries.
The best cedar wood floor and the chandelier composed of a bunch of four-grade pyramid crystals in the room make this place look luxurious in a low-key way, the best cedar wood floor in the winter when the natural fragrance of pine leaves, with the breath of the mountains, as long as you take a breath, it makes people have a sense of relaxation, and the natural energy condensed by the crystal chandelier overhead makes the whole room full of a pleasant and energetic energy field.
I have to say that the ruling family of Eskir City, the rulers of the Spencer family, are really good at enjoying it, and the various decorations in such a seemingly ordinary room can't be done without tens of thousands of gold coins.
Just this morning, Zhang Tie took a car around the city of Eskir to see the huge property owned by the entire Spencer family in the city of Eskil. At the time of yesterday, the entire city of Eskil, including the Spencer family's ownership of these vast estates. The transfer to Zhang Tie's name has been officially completed.
In the presence of the two major tribes and some of the leading figures in the city of Eskil, Zhang Tie, Elder Rudolph, Elder Turing, and Elder Gulas. Elder Thor and High Priest of Sarin signed their names on a document on behalf of Zhang Tie himself, the Spencer family, and the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe to officially confirm the current ownership and status of Eskir City. and many other issues such as the inheritance of the city in the future.
The Spencer family transferred 75% of their ownership of the entire city of Eskir and the entire family property to Peter. Hamples" - that is, under Zhang Tie's name, the Spencer family now retains only 25% ownership of all the family's property.
In the future, Zhang Tie's ownership and property of the Spencer family will be inherited by a child born to him and a woman of the Spencer family, who will also be the patriarch of the Spencer family in the future.
The elders of the Giant Bear Tribe in the Icefields approved of this article.
In a sense, this text only serves a symbolic role, especially at the top decision-making level of the two tribes. But sometimes, such symbols are essential, and those words written in black and white can make some people feel at ease and reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After signing the document, Zhang Tie listened to Elder Rudolph read it for more than ten minutes with an account book-like notebook, before he completely figured out how much 75% of the Spencer family had in his hand.
In Eskir City alone, this part of the family includes the annual tax surplus of more than 280,000 gold coins in Eskil City and the income annuity of the entire Spencer family's property and dock of more than 170,000 gold coins per year.
The rest. The Spencer family owns more than a dozen large and small merchant groups, hundreds of large and small factories and workshops, dozens of estates and farms, thousands of square kilometers of land with different values in and out of the city, and more than a dozen mineral ......
Just listening to Elder Rudolph read these general things, Zhang Tie felt like listening to the book of heaven, and he had a feeling that his head was as big as a fight.
"You just tell me directly, how much money can I directly use every year now, and how many people can use it directly?" In the end, Zhang Tie had to interrupt Elder Rudolph.
"In addition to the expenses and accumulations that keep the city of Eskil and the family's various industries running normally. The total amount of money you can now use each year is 780,000 gold coins, and out of the more than 1,340,000 people in the whole city of Eskil, in addition to the violent institutions such as the city guard and the police, there are 1,260,000 people directly employed by you in your many industries. After the reorganization of the police and city guards in Eskil City, you still have 250,000 city guards and more than 40,000 police officers at your disposal. Everyone else is subject to your jurisdiction and obeys your decrees. ”
Zhang Tie understood, he remembered two numbers, 78o gold coins and a total of more than 150,000 people who listened to his orders, these are two numbers that represent great strength, the material and manpower that Eskil City and the Spencer family can use every year finally made Zhang Tie truly feel the power of the bear-level tribe in the Ice and Snow Wasteland.
Because he didn't have any specific impression of these things, Zhang Tie took a special car around Eskill City this morning to deepen his impression.
In other places, Zhang Tie only took a general look, and Zhang Tie mainly looked at only three places, and those three places are now owned by him - one is the Eskier Iron and Steel Works, the other is the Iron Bear Steam Power Company, and the other is the Beifeng Shipyard.
The three most important industrial enterprises of the Spencer family, with the exception of Iron Bear Steam Power, which is located in the city of Eskil, the other two are located in an industrial park called Spies Bay, 3o kilometers east of the city, where the vast majority of industrial enterprises in the city of Eskir are concentrated.
Iron Bear Steam Power's main products are several pot camel machines ranging from 5 hp to 1oo hp.
In this era, this kind of steam engine and boiler connected together can almost be called man's best friend, this kind of machine, whether in the countryside, cities, or factories, everywhere can let it show its skills, as long as it is connected with the corresponding equipment, it can irrigate farmland, can see wood, can mill rice, drill wells, oil extraction, threshing, road construction, machining and forging, etc., its exhaust steam can also be used as a heat source, used for drying, steaming, heating.
This kind of machine is not picky eater, whether it is firewood or coal, it can make it move, except for a little bulky and slow starting, this is almost one of the most perfect machines that humans can produce in this era.
In the ice and snow wasteland, as long as there is a place where tribes gather, almost one or two pot ostrich machines can be seen there, even in the kind of place in Kurgan Village, Zhang Tie has seen a small 5-horsepower low-pot camel machine, which is used to drill wells in Kurgan Village.
Iron Bear Steam Power Company produces about 3ooo sets of various pot camel machines every year, mainly sold to the ice and snow wasteland, a small amount of Ewendala, those buses in Eskil City are also produced by this company, the quality is basically passable, but the quantity is not much,
With an annual output of 280,000 tonnes of steel, the Eskil Steel Plant is the largest and only steel producer in the entire ice and snow wasteland.
The iron ore that supports this enterprise comes from an iron ore area of about 156 square kilometers 4o kilometers east of Spies Bay, which has a reserve of 940 million tons of high-quality open-pit iron ore and is very easy to mine. About 21 kilometers north of Eskil, there is a coal mine with reserves of more than 2o billion tons, which is enough to support the coal needs of the steel industry in Eskil.
This coal mine and an iron mine, naturally needless to say, are also Zhang Tie's.
Almost half of the steel products produced by the steel factory in Eskil City are consumed every year, and the Beifeng Shipyard is much larger than the Xinghe Shipyard in Jinhai City, which is much larger than the Xinghe Shipyard in Jinhai City, and already has the ability to manufacture 10,000-ton giant ships, but due to various reasons, it is also limited by the overall backwardness of the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland Industrial Exhibition, and the Beifeng Shipyard and Eskil City do not have the technical strength to manufacture the key equipment of large-scale ship steam turbines, and the steam turbines required by the Beifeng Shipyard, They were all purchased and assembled from the island of Gantiadu in Ewindala.
This is what Zhang Tie learned about Eskir City, and it is also the current industrial situation of the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland, compared to Eskil City, and even including the Ice Plain Giant Bear Tribe, as far as Zhang Tie knows, because of the extremely harsh living environment and the lack of all kinds of materials, each tribe is basically living a life of one-third farming, plus one-third nomadism, and one-third hunting.
Each bear-level tribe in the Ice and Snow Wasteland has a fixed territory, and each tribe lives a relatively backward life within its own territory, and with the exception of Eskir City, there is hardly any tribe that exhibits a decent industrial system.
For Zhang Tie, who grew up in a city like Black Flame City since he was a child, he knows very well how important the power of steam and steel is to the survival and reproduction of human beings in this era, it can be said that if there is no human industry that relies on steam and steel, it is impossible for human beings to support it to the end in the first two holy wars.
The saber-toothed beast is very fierce, and the cavalry riding on the saber-toothed beast is also a top hero and a powerful warrior, but the saber-toothed beast is not something that everyone can have, and not everyone can grow into a warrior above level six......
……
"Wielding the power of steel and steam is the surest and most effective way for us to deal with the demon threat, I wonder how far the industrialization of Eskir City and the Ice Giant Bear Tribe can go in the future?" At the beginning of the meeting, Zhang Tie's first sentence decided the theme of the meeting, relying on industrialization as the beginning of the ice and snow wasteland to deal with the third holy war......
