After two months of investigation, Zhu Zhishu basically confirmed that there is indeed an iron mine on Jianchangwei's side!

More than 100,000 conscripts recruited by the West Factory are building bridges and paving roads along the line!

In other words, Wang Li is not lying!

The high profits of mining cast iron, Zhu Zhishu has long known!

If the road is opened, you can make millions a year, and there is no problem!

Under the temptation of high profits, he really wanted to turn his heart and break the net with the West Factory!

However, after thinking about it for a few days, I finally gave up!

The death of several county kings made the Zhu clan in Shu tremble!

Since Xichang agrees to make money together, why fight to the death?

To open up more than 1,000 miles of roads, the project is really huge!

The amount of silver needed will be astronomical!

According to Zhu Zhishu's estimate, it will not be less than 10 million!

Time-consuming, at least five years!

The stakes are just too great!

Such a project, no one of the Zhu clans in Shu can do it!

No one has the courage to do that!

Now that Wang Li has already started, it's time to cooperate with him!

In front of Yinzi, even if it is the revenge of killing his father, he can put it aside for the time being!

What's more, the plan of "co-mining" was first proposed by the West Factory!

Obviously, the West Factory does not have enough funds and is afraid to take risks!

In this case, it has become an inevitable choice for each to share the risk and share the profits.

Therefore, Zhu Zhishu came to Jinyi Wei Mansion again.

"Gonggong, what you said last time, you only need seven million taels of silver to open the road?"

Just?

Just seven million?

Wang Li played with the wine bowl and glanced at Zhu Zhishu out of the corner of his eye.

What does this guy's words mean?

The Zhu clan headed by him doesn't seem to take the "seven million" in their eyes?

This group of pigs is really fat!

Originally, his own offer was ruthless enough!

Who knows, this guy didn't take it seriously!

I knew that I would report to him for fifteen million!

However, it's too late to increase the price now!

"Lord Wang, I can't hide it: with seven million silver, it is difficult to open up the road from Jianchangwei to Xuzhou Mansion!

Alas!

Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky!

Presumably, you have already inspected the quality of Jianchangwei's cast iron, and you also know how difficult it is to widen the road in the 1,200-mile mountains!

The seven million I said last time, in fact, is afraid to scare you!

Lord, in fact, you don't need to take this risk!

I'd suggest you'd better wait three or five years!

If the West Factory fails to open up the road, it is more appropriate for you to take over as appropriate! ”

Wang Li's words are reasonable.

However, this is clearly an attempt to get away with it!

Zhu Zhishu naturally doesn't want to wait for three or five years!

In his opinion, there should be no problem with the execution and efficiency of the West Factory, and open the road within three years!

As long as the road is opened, it will be a success!

Wang Li means that he doesn't want to cooperate with himself anymore!

He wants to eat alone!

How is this going to work?

"Factory man, you're right!" Zhu Zhishu put down the wine bowl and said confidently:

"The road from Jianchangwei to Xuzhou Mansion, I sent someone to investigate!

If it were to be broadened to the standard of a horse-drawn carriage, it would require at least 12 million inputs!

I have also investigated, your West Factory, the initial investment, is only about 500,000!

The taxes of 20 million acres of land in Shuzhong, you have all distributed them to the people, and this king admires them!

But, because of that, you can't take out 12 million silver!

So, if you want to ship Jian Changwei's iron ingots, you can only cooperate with me! ”

"Really?"

Wang Liyun smiled lightly, with a sly look on his face: "Lord Wang, you underestimate my West Factory too much!"

Within two years, my follow-up additional investment will not be less than 10 million!

Besides, I have already got in touch with Dongchang Wei's father-in-law, and he will come over to inspect soon!

With the strength of the East Factory, do you think I can't raise 12 million? ”

Wang Li's words are still trying to capture the past, and further express that he doesn't want to cooperate with Zhu Zhishu!

However, Zhu Zhishu will definitely not give up!

He's even less stupid!

His ancestors have been in Sichuan for generations!

Children and grandchildren will also be in Sichuan!

Jianchangwei's iron ore is always its own!

And Wang Li, just the admiral of Xichang, may be transferred away at any time!

The only person who can make money in Sichuan for many years can only be himself!

What is urgently needed at the moment is only the execution ability of the West Factory!

After all, the sooner the road is opened, the sooner you make money!

Once!

Wait until Xichang relaxes his vigilance, and then give him a fatal blow!

If you want Xichang to let down your guard, you have to be friends with it!

So, let's be low-key and lewd!

"Factory father, this is a bad statement!"

Zhu Zhishu shook his head, and said with a straight face: "The name of the nine-thousand-nine-hundred-year-old master is indeed known to the world!"

The financial strength of the 9,900-year-old master, this king never doubts!

However, the Dongchang tree has deep roots!

How long has your West Factory been established?

You are in the court, how many people will help you speak?

Do you dare to cooperate with Dongchang, not afraid of being eaten to the scum?

This king, on the other hand, is different!

This king is in Sichuan, and has never left Shuzhong for a single step!

There are only more than a thousand guards under the command of this king, and they can't threaten you at all!

This king's family background and clansmen, you also know the roots!

Compared with Dongchang, wouldn't it be more secure for you to cooperate with this king? ”

Zhu Zhishu easily took the bait, and Wang Li was secretly happy.

However, he pretended to be extremely embarrassed and pretended to think hard for a long time.

"Smack!"

Wang Li slammed the wine bowl on the table and asked word by word: "Dare to ask the prince, how much silver can you invest?" ”

Wang Li's loosening, Zhu Zhishu was naturally overjoyed, and slowly stretched out five fingers:

"Within three months, I was able to raise five million taels of silver!

I will send people to Nandu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and within half a year, I can raise another 5 million! ”

Zhu Zhishu is full of confidence, not like he is lying!

Wang Li pretended to think hard for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Wang, don't play with me!"

If I push off the East Factory, I will definitely have a grudge with Grandpa Wei!

When the time comes, if you can't take out 10,000,000 pieces of silver, will I not be trapped to death by you? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zhishu was even more overjoyed!

The East and West No. 2 factories have a lot of relationships in private, and he has heard of it for a long time!

But I didn't expect that this kick I inserted horizontally invisibly provoked the contradiction between the East and West Second Factories!

Originally, if the West Factory participated in the widening of the road, it would have earned millions of dollars every year!

Now, I was kicked away by myself!

Wei Zhongxian's dead eunuch will definitely hate Xichang to death!

Himself, he can take the opportunity to win over Wei Zhongxian!

Even if Zhu Youzhen intends to cut the domain, he can also use the power of the East Factory to fight to the death!

Therefore, Jianchangwei's iron ore mining must kick out the East Factory!

"Factory father, you will see the outside world when you say this!

I said, raise five million in three months!

The one who invests real money is me!

Even if something goes wrong, I'm the one who loses money!

What are you worried about? ”

"Like...... That's it! ”

Wang Li smiled and glared at Zhu Zhishu: "Lord Wang, with a total investment of 12 million, you will give 10 million!"

If...... If I were to get a share of 20% of the profits, wouldn't I be busy for nothing? ”

"Factory father, let's not talk darkly!

Even without your West Factory participation, I can raise all the funds and broaden the road by myself!

The reason why I cooperate with you is because I fancy the execution ability of the West Factory!

Looking at the whole Ming Dynasty, the mountain road of more than 1,000 miles can be widened in three years, and only the East and West Second Factories can do it!

In terms of investment ratio, you can get less than 20% of the profit!

However, I'll give you thirty percent!

Righteous enough, right? ”

"Well said, well said!" Wang Li smiled and pretended to be embarrassed: "Since the prince values it so much, then ...... It's according to the prince's will! ”

"The factory is refreshing! Happy cooperation for us, done! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......"

The two of them raised their bowls and drank them all.

As soon as he put down the bowl, Zhu Zhishu spoke again: "Factory father, 10 million funds, not a small amount!"

This king said that it takes the help of all parties to get it together!

Moreover, the contract for joint mining is not something that we can sign at will!

At least, the co-funded Lu King Zhu Shouhong, Zouping King Zhu Shoucheng, Ziyang King Zhu Yiyuan, Dongyuan King Zhu Yiyuan, Xinyang King Zhu Hongfu and Qin King Zhu Cunshu, etc., all have to send someone to testify! ”

"That's nature, that's nature......"

Wang Li nodded again and again, but he was scolding madly in his heart!

Good for you, Zhu Zhishu!

You want to kill me, right?

I only fancy you a little silver, but you want my life?

Still want to borrow a knife to kill someone?

What about you!

However, you are underestimating me!

Think that if you pull a dozen vassal kings to make a strong noise, you can kill me?

Don't forget, vassal kings can't have armies!

And don't forget, Sichuan's special terrain!

Hum!

Hurry, don't think I dare not touch you!

At this time, Wang Li was smiling secretly, and Zhu Zhishu was also smiling secretly!

He is indeed short of funds, so he has brought in fourteen vassal kings who "move around a lot"!

At the same time, it is also trying to win over allies and strengthen its own strength!

In his opinion, Xichang dared to run rampant in Sichuan, but he couldn't be hostile to more than a dozen vassal kings at the same time with his own strength!

Perhaps, the emperor will not believe the words of a certain vassal king!

But, the three of them become tigers!

Fifteen vassal kings have the same hatred, and everyone hands over a letter of recital, which is enough for Xichang to drink a pot!

Therefore, when the time is right, we will be able to kick the West Factory away!

This time will not be too long!

At most, three years!

When the road is basically completed, it will be the time of the king's death!

Of course, it is also possible...... It only takes two months!

Hum!

At this moment, the "strong dragon" and the "earth snake" each have their own ghosts and have reached an agreement for the time being.

However, due to their limitations, visions, goals and courage, the outcome was already predestined.

What makes Wang Li most pleased is that within a few years, there is no need to "return" Zhu Zhishu's silver in installments!

Because, in order to put pressure on the West Factory, Zhu Zhishu repeatedly emphasized that the road must be widened as soon as possible!

According to the preliminary agreement between the two, the starting time of the distribution of profits is calculated from the date of "the road is opened"!

Zhu Zhishu didn't know Wang Li's plan from beginning to end!

He never intended to widen all the roads!

I only plan to widen the two-hundred-mile mountain road from Wulian Peak to Xuzhou Mansion!

This project, as long as the planning is reasonable, as long as the manpower is sufficient, as long as the amount of gunpowder can be guaranteed, it can be completed in a year at most!

The amount of money required is only 700,000 at most!

Therefore, under Zhu Zhishu's nose, Jianchangwei's iron ingots can be continuously transported out of Sichuan!

Even if he finds out, what can he do?

After taking the road out of the river and forcing him to write a letter to the fourteen vassal kings, he said that the silver was insufficient, and the project was forced to stop!

That's it, you're all set!

Hey!

The vassal king can't leave his fiefdom!

Can they still gather in Sichuan to bite me?

A joint book?

Impeach me?

I'll go!

That's scaring the baby!

I'm not even afraid of Zhu Youzhen, but I'm still afraid of how many letters you have?

I'm in a hurry, and I've copied the homes of more than a dozen of your vassal kings in advance!

The generals of the various counties in Shu, let's close the door and copy it slowly!

Hum!

"Factory father, the copper wire drawn from Shanxi, as well as all kinds of strange cast iron, have all been delivered!"

Good! Good! Good!

After waiting for more than two months, it can be regarded as delivered!

As long as the generator is successful, I can mine Al ore all over the country!

With refined Al, you can swap out Au with Cu!

Hahaha!
