If it is calculated according to the production of 75,000 tons of fertilizer per month, and each catty of fertilizer is sold at 20 yuan, then Lin Ze can get a total sales of 3 million taels of silver.

Because the fertilizer factory is a big business to increase grain production, the Great Zhou court gave a five-year tax exemption policy.

Because the power facilities are their own, they only need to deduct 33,000 taels of raw materials and labor costs, and make a net profit of 2.967 million taels of silver a month, which is almost 780 million in the main world currency.

And the money earned is not generated out of thin air, but about half of the value of the grain that grows because of the fertilizer.

These profits are the total profits that thermal power stations and fertilizer plants can get in a month, which can basically wipe out the cost of investment and construction.

Converted into gold, it is almost 296,700 taels.

The gold was transported to the Overworld and sold, and it was directly worth 6.67 billion.

"Hey, is it so profitable? I thought that I needed to pay back slowly, and it would take a long time to earn back the money I invested in the construction of fertilizer plants and thermal power stations, but I didn't expect it to return to my capital in a month, and the rest was pure earning. ”

"That's right, I'm pricing it at a profit margin of 90 times."

Lin Ze silently calculated the amount of money he could make in the matter of the fertilizer factory, and there was a sense of surprise that he had unintentionally planted willows and willows.

You must know that Lin Ze was ready to lose money at the beginning of the chemical fertilizer, but he didn't expect that not only did he not lose but also made money.

Lin Ze can calculate this profit figure, and the two Tianhuang nobles can also calculate it.

But they didn't feel envious, jealous and hateful, because Lin Ze had told them before that it cost almost 26 million taels of silver to invest in building a factory.

Ji Kan and others believe this, because some high-grade materials can only be obtained by repeated refining, and it seems that the strength has only increased a little, but the cost has increased thousands of times.

This is a super high number that directly dispels the idea of two Tianhuang nobles to buy shares.

800 million for silver is about 3 million taels of silver, 3 million taels of silver for 300,000 taels of gold in the other world is worth about 6.7 billion, and 6.7 billion is about 26 million taels when you go back to the main world and exchange for silver, which is very reasonable.

With so much investment, it is also reasonable to earn three million taels of silver a month.

After listening to Lin Ze's pricing principle, Ji Kan did not express any objections, and said with a smile: "Ziyi, since 125,000 tons of fertilizer can already meet our needs for controlling Nanban and Beimu, how about selling all the excess fertilizer to me?" ”

"According to what you said, this fertilizer factory can produce one million tons of fertilizer a year, and I can pay a deposit in advance to buy the remaining 875,000 tons of fertilizer at a price of 20 yuan a catty."

Hearing this, Lin Ze frowned.

He glanced at Ji Kan, and after a little thought, he figured out what he wanted to do: "Do you want to use these fertilizers to grow medicinal herbs?" ”

Ji Kan nodded and said:

"Well, as you said, chemical fertilizer is used to grow grain, and the yield of one mu of land will increase by three or four hundred catties of grain, and the benefits created will only be about two taels of silver, if chemical fertilizer is used to grow medicinal herbs, it may easily create the value of ten taels or even twenty taels of silver a year for one acre of land."

"After I heard you talk about chemical fertilizers, I sent someone to carefully investigate and understand the knowledge related to the growth of medicinal materials, and found that if it is fertilized, it can indeed be used to increase the yield of medicinal materials."

"Now planting elixir, in order to supply nutrients to the elixir, some animals will be killed, and even some less rare medicinal materials will be used to make fertilizer, and if there is chemical fertilizer, these costs can be saved."

"I know Ziyi, you have the heart to help the world, and the meat of these animals slaughtered for the cultivation of elixir can also be put into the market to improve people's livelihood."

On the side, Ji Qingyan said:

"Although there are a lot of medicinal fields and medicine mountains in various parts of the Great Zhou, in order to restore the soil strength, these medicinal fields and medicine mountains are used in rotation, and the elixirs produced each year are limited.

"With so much money, there is no shortage of cultivation resources for the three of us to cultivate to the realm of heaven and man, Ziyi, if you agree to my request, I can pass on the peerless divine skill "Zhou Tian Divine Skill" practiced by the children of the Great Zhou Sect to you and me."

"If I hadn't promised the imperial brother in advance to help him calm the border troubles, I would even want to regret it at this time."

In the end, Ji Qingyan sighed with some regret.

With the consumption of chemical fertilizers and huge energy, he can earn millions of taels a year in pacifying the border troubles, but most of these millions of taels still need to be distributed to Lin Ze, and even less in their hands.

In this way, it is indeed better to use chemical fertilizer to grow elixir.

Faced with the money-making method proposed by the brother and sister, and even the temptation of peerless miracles, Lin Ze refused without hesitation: "No, all these fertilizers should be used to increase agricultural production, including the fertilizers produced by the production line of the fertilizer factory that I expanded later, and all of them should be used to increase agricultural production." ”

"After satisfying the national agricultural production in the end, we will consider what you said about growing medicine."

Peerless Divine Skill, it is not difficult for Lin Ze to obtain it at this moment, and the Enlightenment Method and Nine Turns of Condensation Truth that he is practicing at this moment are part of the content of Peerless Divine Skill.

After a while, it will be time for Mingyuelou to sort out the financial reports for the year, Zhao Cheng dispatched coal to save fuel costs for the sect, and also opened up more armor and weapons business, making great contributions, and being taught peerless magic skills is already a sure thing.

When the time comes, Lin Ze can completely open the Gate of Heaven and listen to Zhao Cheng learn peerless divine skills.

After all, he, Lin Ze, was also a supernumerary disciple of Mingyue Tower, and it was normal for him to learn the sect's divine skills.

In addition to this unorthodox channel, the next period of time will wait for the popularization of chemical fertilizers and the border troubles will be calmed down.

Could it be that Lin Ze asked the Great Zhou Emperor Ji Yuan to apply to learn peerless magic skills, and he would still refuse Lin Ze?

Lin Ze took such pains to build a thermal power station and a fertilizer factory in another world, not simply to make money, but to influence the fate of the whole world on a large scale and gain luck.

And Ji Kan's idea of using chemical fertilizer to grow elixir will only affect the rise and fall of the fate of a small number of people, and it is not conducive to Lin Ze gaining more luck.

If it was purely to make money, Lin Zeda could do easier things, such as researching and reselling the rare resources of the two worlds, which was better than working so hard now.

was strongly rejected by Lin Ze, and Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan's faces were a little unsightly.

Such a large sum of money is unattainable in front of him, and no one will look good.

——

After Lin Ze forcibly rejected Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan, his face softened a little, and he smiled and soothed: "I haven't told you carefully before, do you think that the main benefit for us to pacify the Southern Barbarians and Northern Muslims comes from the rewards that your imperial brother allocated from the thrifted military expenses?" ”

Isn't it?

The two brothers and sisters of Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan had the same doubts on their faces and nodded.

Although Lin Ze told them that they could make money by opening mines and weaving cloth in textile factories at that time, they subconsciously felt that it would be good if these industries could earn tens of thousands of taels a year, and more benefits would be given by their imperial brother.

In the past, they were satisfied with this benefit because they did not see the huge benefits brought by chemical fertilizers, but now that they have seen a brighter prospect, they will naturally be dissatisfied.

Lin Ze continued: "Do you know how much money I can make in a year in this coal mine? ”

Ji Kan thought for a moment and said: "You have more than 10,000 people in this mine, and you can earn at least 100,000 taels a year." ”

Lin Ze gave an actual figure and said: "Now the scale of miners has expanded to almost 20,000 people, and the annual income is more than one million taels of silver. ”

After a pause, and after Ji Kan digested it, Lin Ze continued:

"There are millions of people in Nanban, among which the young Zhuang who can be mobilized are conservatively estimated to be between 300,000 and 400,000, and according to the profit that each young Zhuang provides us with 20 taels of silver in the mine a year, that is, 6 million to 8 million taels."

"In the same way, there are three million people on the grassland, because the living environment here is even worse, there are two million people in the young and strong, and the output of the pasture is not as much as that of the mine, so at least one person can provide a profit of 5 taels of silver a year, and here is at least 10 million taels a year."

"When we start to pacify the Nanban and Beimu, their population will start to skyrocket, and we will need more food to feed them, and their population will increase year by year, so that we can give us more profits."

"It doesn't matter if the medicinal materials are planted later, this is a snowball opportunity to make money in the frontier, but it will lose tens of millions of taels of silver a year later."

Lin Ze didn't tell Ji Kan that they should give priority to people's livelihood and make luck and other, but directly grasped their weaknesses and appeased them from their own interests.

The two Tianhuang nobles were both smart people, and after thinking about it for a while, they knew that what Lin Ze said was very reasonable.

Lin Ze not only makes money by himself, but also makes people who follow him make money together, and does his best to work without whipping people.

Self-reliance, more work, how decent.

But in this case, Lin Ze's coal mine can still generate millions of taels of silver in profits a year, from which it can be deduced that Lin Ze's set of management methods is very efficient and useful, even the Central Plains people eat Lin Ze's set, there is no reason why the people of Nanban and Beimu do not eat it.

With a long exhalation, the two calmed down the restless emotions in their hearts.

At this time, Ji Qingyan took the initiative to apologize:

"I'm sorry, Ziyi, I'm really a little overwhelmed by the resources needed for cultivation on weekdays, and I feel pressured when I think of the daily skyrocketing cultivation consumption after becoming a peerless master in a few years, so much so that I become short-sighted."

"Let's go according to your plan."

She is a temperament that she can afford to let go, and she does not hesitate to admit that she is wrong.

Ji Kan nodded on the side and apologized.

A skirmish, just like that, was eliminated.

——

At this time, Lin Ze asked curiously: "Actually, I have a question I want to ask, why hasn't your imperial brother been thinking about summoning me or coming to Fengping County to see me in person for so long?" ”

There was no respect for the emperor in the words, but Ji Kan and the two were accustomed to it.

They knew that Lin Ze grew up in an environment where everyone was equal and only recognized the truth in the door of truth, and he didn't deliberately target anyone.

Firearms, the power of industry, now under the leadership of Lin Ze, can be regarded as the tip of the iceberg on the side of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

According to Ji Yuan's keen intuition about firearms, Lin Ze should be vigorously wooed at this time, but the fact is that it has been several months since Ji Yuan still has not moved.

Lin Ze occasionally took the time to look at the style of the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and found that Ji Yuan, the emperor, was not too busy, except for spending an hour or two dealing with state affairs on weekdays, a lot of time was spent practicing martial arts, or he would gather many courtiers to drink and feast.

I didn't see any nervousness at all because of the imminent death of Great Zhou Taizu Ji Yu.

"Busy."

Ji Kan replied.

It's perfunctory, but it's the truth.

Lin Ze was thoughtful.

At present, Lin Ze already knew one thing, this royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty in another world was the top force.

All human settlements in other corners of the world are not worth mentioning compared to Da Zhou, and they have long been bald in the process of many masters on the side of Da Zhou going out to gather wool over and over again, and Da Zhou Taizu is the first person in the whole world.

His death will cause great upheaval.

The first is that without Ji Yu, with the current strength of the Great Zhou royal family, it is a question whether it can stabilize the situation and protect the current interests.

The second is how to distribute the many properties in his name after Ji Yu's death.

Although Ji Yuan is nominally the Emperor of the Great Zhou, his personal force and the forces under his name must not be at the level of the imperial family, so he has been courting all parties recently to stabilize the interior.

Although the matter here in Fengping County is important, it is not imminent to deal with, so it was handed over to his younger siblings to contact.

"Ziyi doesn't have to worry, now that the fertilizer has been successfully produced, the edict of the knight should come down soon."

"I inquired before, this time I will be crowned an earl, and when I am promoted to the marquis in the autumn harvest, I will be a duke after pacifying the southern barbarians and northern herds, and I will make meritorious contributions in the coming day or I can make you a prince."

Ji Qingyan smiled and reassured, he thought that Lin Ze asked about Ji Yuan because he wanted to ask for credit in person.

Although the Truth Gate is powerful and mysterious, Lin Ze himself has the idea of wanting to take root in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is clear to the Ji Kan brothers and sisters, since they have such thoughts, it is very important to get the approval of the master's family.

Because of this, Lin Ze showed his worth.

As soon as Lin Ze saw Ji Qingyan's expression, he knew that she had misunderstood, and he didn't explain, so he nodded and said: "The last batch of firearms, I will have someone send it to the designated place for you tomorrow, and then all the firearms transactions will be temporarily over, and you will need bullets to buy from me again in the future." ”

"Then, the fertilizer production on my side has ended, and then it will be sold to Fengping County and several surrounding counties, and then the remaining part that cannot be digested will be sold to the entire Myeongguang Prefecture."

"Your Highnesses, you can take the first step and go to the two places of Beihaiguan and Fufeng County to start the preliminary preparations, this is the plan, next month, when you complete the preliminary preparations, I will discuss with you the handover for the next step."
