Tables, chairs and benches had been prepared in the main hall, and Li Chengzhou sat on a high place, looking at the county commanders under the stage with interest, he wanted to see what means these people would use to fight for the right to mine copper.

Fan Qingyan stood below to preside over the order.

Li Chengzhou saw that everyone was already seated.

Without further ado, now the expenditure is officially tendered, and Fan Qingyan presides over the order.

Fan Qingyan glanced at Li Chengzhou, this unfortunate thing fell on his head again, Li Chengzhou pretended not to see Fan Qingyan's eyes, Fan Qingyan was helpless.

"Start bidding, the first one, Bronze City Copper Mine."

After Fan Qingyan finished speaking, he glanced at Situ Yutao.

There was silence on the field, waiting for Situ Yutao to speak.

"Bronze City Copper Mine, I am bound to win in Los Angeles, I hope you juniors and disciples will not fight, you don't shout the price of Bronze City Copper Mine again, and I will definitely not interfere in the Red Mountain City Copper Mine after that."

Situ Yutao did not show his chips at the beginning, but threatened the others first.

The field was quiet, and the county orders of other cities were all talking to each other, and they finally reached an agreement not to compete with Situ Yutao in the Bronze City Copper Mine, otherwise Situ Yutao would definitely do something in the Hongshan City Copper Mine.

Seeing that the junior disciples did not react, Situ Yutao was also ready to open his mouth to throw his chips.

But Li Chengzhou looked at the situation on the field and reminded him.

"The quality of the copper mine in Qingtongcheng is a little worse than that of the copper mine in Hongshan City, and the time it takes to mine and smelt is longer, according to estimates, the normal mining of the copper mine in Qingtongcheng can produce 500 catties a day, and the copper mine in Hongshan City can produce 1,000 catties a day, so it is normal, I hope you will not be lower than this number."

After listening to Li Chengzhou's words, the county commanders below began to talk to each other again, it turned out that His Majesty understood the normal output of these copper mines, and he couldn't fool them.

Of course, these figures were told to him by Fan Qingyan, if they were not restricted, they would discuss in private, mining one or two hundred catties a day to fool the central court, and the minting of currency would be postponed indefinitely.

Situ Yutao was not affected, he had thought of his chips before standing here, and it was polite to tell the juniors not to compete before, and his chips were also beyond the reach of the juniors.

"If I mine the copper mine in Bronze City in Los Angeles, with a daily output of 1,000 catties, three times the allocation, I will send the smelted copper to the imperial court every day."

Li Chengzhou nodded, he was too worried, Situ Yutao is also a sensible person, and the chips he threw out were very rich.

The other juniors and disciples also gasped, the copper mine in Qingtongcheng has a daily output of 1,000 catties, and this is put in Hongshan City, that is, a daily output of 2,000 catties.

Situ Yutao directly rolled up the price, maybe two thousand catties in Hongshan City would satisfy His Majesty.

Situ Yutao disrupted all the plans of the people behind him.

"Does anyone still want to compete for the Bronze City Copper Mine?"

Fan Qingyan asked several times, but the county commanders did not speak.

"Then congratulations to Senior Brother Situ for winning the copper mining rights of Bronze City, with a daily output of 1,000 catties, and receiving three times the allocation."

"Next is the Red Mountain Copper Mine, and you senior brothers can start competing now."

After Situ Yutao got the bronze mine in Bronze City, he retreated to the back with interest, leaving the site to the junior disciples behind.

Seeing Situ Yutao retreat to the back, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, if this volume king didn't talk about martial arts, the copper mine in Hongshan City would definitely be a mess by him.

Fan Qingyan began to urge: "Isn't there anyone bidding?" ”

The representative sent by the five northern cities was Zhou Qi, and the representative sent by the five southern cities was the host Chen Jiao.

Both men stood up almost at the same time.

They glanced at each other.

"Senior Brother Chen, please first."

"No, no, no, Senior Brother Zhou, please first."

The two people began to be humble, and whoever opened his mouth first threw his chips, and the other person had a clear idea and could formulate corresponding countermeasures to deal with.

Zhou Qi simply retreated, sat in his place, and left the venue to Chen Jiao.

This guy, Chen Jiao sneered in his heart, how could he let Zhou Qi succeed like this, and it was impossible for his chips to be thrown out like this.

"On behalf of the five southern cities, our bargaining chip is the daily output of 1,000 catties of Hongshan City Copper Mine, and three times the allocation."

Chen Jiao is bouncing on the baseline, and he will not easily expose his bottom line.

Zhou Qi also stood up.

"Senior Brother Chen, how can you stick to the baseline?"

"We don't have enough in the five cities in the south, so we can only do this."

"On behalf of the five northern cities, Hongshan City produces 1,500 catties of copper per day, and three times the allocation."

Li Chengzhou looked at them and reminded them.

"The so-called triple appropriation is calculated according to one city, which is equivalent to adding the appropriation of two more cities on the basis of your five cities, but not every city is tripled."

The people in the underground nodded, they naturally understood this meaning.

"Senior Brother Chen, do you still want to compete? Since the strength is not enough, then don't be reluctant, let's mine in the five northern cities, we are close, it is very convenient, I thank you here..."

"Senior Brother Zhou, don't be in a hurry to thank me, I haven't finished my words yet, you thanked me so early, but it's not mine, my chips are still the same, Hongshan City produces thousands of pounds of copper per day, and three times the allocation."

Everyone present didn't understand what Chen Jiao wanted to do, which obviously couldn't compete with Zhou Qi.

Fan Qingyan opened his mouth and reminded: "Senior Brother Chen, you can't compete with Senior Brother Zhou like this." ”

"Don't worry, I still haven't finished speaking, although the chips just now haven't changed, but I have added another one, I can hand over 80% of the cotton near Bull City to the treasury, I hope to replace the daily output of 1,000 catties."

Li Chengzhou also heard such a request for the first time, so he suspended the bidding first, let them discuss it on their own first, and called Fan Qingyan Tomahawk to the back to discuss how to do it.

"Senior Brother Chen is really a good way to replace copper mine production with cotton production."

"Haha, Senior Brother Zhou has won the prize, but it seems that there is no cotton in other places, so this is also cheaper for our Hongshan City."

"I just don't know if Your Majesty can agree to replace copper with cotton."

Chen Jiao didn't talk again, he was also worried about this problem, using 80% of the cotton output to replace the daily output of 1,000 catties of copper is just his lion's big mouth, and he will be content to replace 300 catties per day.

Behind the main hall, Li Chengzhou didn't understand the substitution relationship between the two.

"How? Isn't it an exaggeration to replace Nissan kilograms? ”

"It's definitely an exaggeration."

"The yield of one mu of his cotton land is 500 catties, and there are more than 100 acres of land in total, which is more than 500,000 catties of cotton, and one pound of cotton is worth 20 wen, which is worth 10 million copper coins, and 80 percent is 8 million copper coins."

"One pound of copper can make 100 copper coins, which is equivalent to 80,000 catties of copper, and the output of copper mines in two months is only."

"I think it's a good deal..."

"The main thing is that copper coins can buy things directly, but the cotton piles in the treasury only occupy space, and they have to find a way to deal with it, which is far less real than copper coins."

"How much copper ore can it replace per day?"

"Three hundred pounds at most. Couldn't be more. ”
