"Well, it's about the same time as we expected, do you have any information from the person who came to be in charge of procurement?"

Hearing the whisper of Zou Cang coming, Liao Hua only nodded slightly.

They released the news here, in order to let the court of the Han Dynasty go into the water to participate, otherwise how much iron ore can they eat just by relying on those wealthy families?

Zou Cang looked around vigilantly and shook his head.

"There is no information on the person responsible for the time being."

"Well, it doesn't matter, just go according to the plan, but the number of three million catties is too big, let's release 800,000 catties first."

Liao Hua whispered, Zou Cang bowed his head, and gradually slowed down.

Luyang in late June is like a steamer.

Outside the city gates, a caravan of horses drove into the city.

Sent in May, Sangyang and their men traveled every day, and finally arrived here within two months.

in the frame.

Sang Yang, who was already fair-skinned, turned even paler in the bumps of this month and a half.

But he didn't care how to rest, and knocked on the frame to summon a eunuch to come closer.

"Go, find the mansion of the eldest chief Liao Hua, and be polite."

"Yui."

——

"They're in town."

A fairly complete house in Luyang City.

Pei Yuan Shao informed Liao Hua of the news he had just received.

Liao Hua bowed: "Let's get in touch with them and bring people over." ”

"Brother Sun, you go and tell Brother Zou to open the first batch of ore warehouses ready for trading."

"Cheng, I'll go."

After a few commands, only Liao Hua and Pei Yuan Shao were left in the huge front hall.

The two drank tea and waited for the arrival of Sang Yang and the others.

About two quarters of an hour.

Liao Hua's mansion resounded with a roll call.

After a while, a handsome man in a black and blue robe, accompanied by several eunuchs, entered the antechamber.

Hands bow slightly.

"Serving Sangyang, I've seen the eldest chief."

And Liao Hua also got up and saluted back: "Liao Hua has seen Sang Shizhong." ”

"I've been waiting for a long time, I don't know if Sang Shizhong is here for that batch of iron ore?"

"I started from the end of the day, and I am not familiar with the winding words, so please also speak bluntly."

In the face of Liao Hua's quick words, Sang Yang was not the slightest surprised, for Liao Hua, his identity was confidential, but for him, the identities of Liao Hua and others were clear to him.

Sang Yang clasped his hands into fists and saluted in the direction of Chang'an and said frankly: "This time I came here for this batch of ores, the chief of the great concubine is extremely capable, first solved a big problem for the court, and this time he brought such news, Your Majesty's appreciation of the chief between his words is really the envy of the official." ”

"I don't know if this batch of ore has any arrangements for the chief?"

"Haha, it was originally a gift, how could it disappoint Your Majesty, if it weren't for the brothers below who also needed to make a living, it was also acceptable for this batch of ores to be directly dedicated to Your Majesty, but"

Liao Hua was also polite, and several eunuchs lifted a small wooden box with both hands in time and handed it to Liao Hua.

The box opened, and the golden light inside shimmered in the refraction of the sunlight.

Sang Yang opened his mouth and said: "Naturally, Liao Dashu will not be embarrassed, there are two thousand gold here, I don't know how much iron ore can be bought?" ”

"This." Liao Hua made a difficult look.

In the past few days, they communicated with their families, and they set the price of 1,000 catties of iron ore for two gold trades with Han and the bottom line of 1,500 catties of iron ore for the lowest two golds.

For iron ore, this price is actually very high.

However, at present, the important mines of Han Real Estate Iron are all in the hands of Zhang Qi, so the pricing power is naturally on their side.

Although the price is high, this is also the most suitable price obtained by the Liaodi Materials Division after several calculations.

The web-weaving agents living in Chang'an report back the prices of Chang'an every year.

After several major defeats, the price of a ring-headed knife in Chang'an is now about 1,000 yuan, and it weighs three catties.

After the baptism of Liaodi coins, today's Han land is worth 30,000 Han money.

That's enough to buy thirty ring-headed knives.

Both 90 pounds.

The iron ore of the two gold kilograms, with the furnace technology sent by Liaohua, coupled with the quality of this batch of ore, the steel formation rate is about 8 percent, that is, 80 kilograms of steel.

If you take a closer look, it is not as cost-effective as buying a mine directly.

But things can't just look at the value, one of the big problems in the Han Dynasty today is that what they need is a weapon that can confront the soldiers of Liaodi, and under the scarcity of iron ore, Liu Che just wants to buy it, where can he buy so many blades?

The iron blade is an iron blade, and the steel blade is a steel blade, even if he knows that the price is expensive, Liu Che can only eat it hard.

Liao Hua stared slightly, and then said with a smile.

"Don't hide it from Sang Shizhong, in order to transport this batch of iron ore out, a certain brother has been exposed a lot, for their future livelihood, a certain is willing to sell this batch of iron ore at the price of three gold and a thousand catties of iron ore, I don't know Sang Shizhong."

Sang Yang frowned slightly when he heard Liao Hua's words.

It's too big. ’

Although he was criticized in his heart, he still had that ancient and unwavering expression.

"The chief just said that he likes to talk fast, so why beat around the bush this time, you might as well directly disclose the reserve price, if the price is appropriate, this daughter can become this first transaction."

"Hahaha, it's time to be a villain, that's it, two gold thousand catties of iron ore, a certain guarantee to use a certain furnace technology, this thousand catties of iron ore is set to eighty or ninety catties of steel, I don't know if Sang Shizhong is satisfied with this price?"

"Can't be less?"

"I can't."

The two looked at each other.

After a pause, Sang Yang whispered in the ear of a eunuch.

"That's it, Your Majesty is also waiting, taking all the money and property from the frame, and letting a group of Yulin Lang go back to Chang'an first."

"No."

The eunuch was ordered to withdraw.

Sang Yang looked at Liao Hua and arched his hand and said, "Then ask the chief to prepare three thousand gold iron ore for the official." ”

"This." Liao Hua was embarrassed again.

"Don't hide it from Sang Shizhong, the 3,000 gold iron ore is not enough here for the time being, at present, there are only 800,000 catties of iron ore prepared in Luyang City, and you can't spend the 3,000 gold."

"But if Sang Shizhong is not in a hurry, two million catties of iron ore will be delivered to Luyang in two months, I don't know."

"In that case, that's the only way to go."

"Two million catties in two months, can the chief of the house be guaranteed?"

"Nature."

Sang Yang nodded and whispered in the ear of a eunuch: "You go back to Chang'an with Yu Linlang to report to Your Majesty, and prepare money quickly." ”

"No."

If what Liao Hua just said is true, then this batch of 800,000 catties of iron ore can train 64,000 catties of steel, which is enough to make more than 20,000 ring-headed knives, and even, if only the spearhead is made, the number can be increased several times, and it is enough to arm an army of tens of thousands of people.

Based on Sang Yang's understanding of Liu Che, if this batch of iron ore can really reach this point, then how much Liaohua has here, his majesty will buy it.
