"Okay, so what are you going to do with it?"

Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.

"Buy it, I still have some spare money in my house, buy all these iron ores."

Xiao Han said.

"And what if they don't sell it?"

Zhu Biao asked.

"Not for sale?"

"How can you not sell it?"

"How can they not support the actions of the imperial court, has the imperial court treated them badly?"

Xiao Han said with a smile.

Zhu Biao: ...

"There's no difference between buying and selling and robbing like this, right?"

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.

"Nope."

"The difference is big, as long as the money is given, it is a process, which is reasonable."

"If you don't give money and rob it, in the end, you can't say it's not."

"Our Daming can give them money is enough to give them face, what else do they want?"

A gleam flashed in Xiao Han's eyes.

"You are a civilized robbery, I guess you will definitely not give them a satisfactory price."

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han and said.

"Pretty much."

"The robbery of civilization, the important thing is not the robbery, but the civilization is not, we are Ming, reasonable."

Xiao Han laughed.

"It seems to be the same thing."

"Hmm."

"Wearing clothes, although it still looks like this, but after all, it looks better than running naked."

Zhu Biao smiled.

"Haha."

"Not so."

"It's really not good-looking."

Xiao Han smiled, looking like you kid is very conscious.

"Okay."

"It's got to be you."

"Civilized people are just different, after all, there is still a difference between them and our mud legs."

Zhu Biao nodded.

"By the way, should we leave some craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering there, and if the blast furnace is broken, it is better to repair it."

Zhu Biao asked instead.

"I'm sure I'm going to stay."

"Not only do we have to stay, but we also have to let the Ministry of Industry leave an agency over there that will be responsible for management."

Xiao Han said.

"Set up an agency?"

"Won't you take over this factory?"

Zhu Biao asked in surprise.

"I want to take over, but it's too far away from Ying Tianfu, and it will be very inconvenient for me to manage."

"And it's not convenient to transfer people directly from the Ministry of Industry for maintenance."

"The most important thing is that this blast furnace ironworks, the imperial court has paid for it, and if it is put in my name, it is a little out of line with our Ming Dynasty."

"It's not the same as paper mills and agricultural and sideline production lines."

"Although you took the money for the paper production line, it was from you, not the household, and the same is true for the agricultural and sideline production line."

"And because the blast furnace ironworks needs a lot of money, it is the money from the imperial court from the Ministry of Households."

"You and my brothers don't matter, but if future generations follow suit, as soon as this opening is opened, future generations are afraid that there will be a lot of cases of taking the imperial court property for themselves, which is not conducive to the development of our Ming Dynasty."

Xiao Han explained.

"But you're also half out of this blast furnace ironworks."

Zhu Biao was a little puzzled.

"It's simple, half of the follow-up income of the blast furnace ironmaking plant is mine."

"But I only have the right to share the profits, but I have no ownership."

"At least, that's what I said on the surface, anyway, if I want to meddle in the management, no one in the court will object."

"After all, I am the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty and a member of the imperial court."

Xiao Han said.

"What's the difference?"

Zhu Biao frowned, a little puzzled.

"It's a big difference."

"Do you think it's the same as interfering as a court official?"

"The former I am directly the boss, and the latter I work for the imperial court, but the level is high."

"If I were the boss and I died, this blast furnace ironworks would belong to my son and be my personal wealth."

"But I'm an official, and once I die or retire, the power to control the blast furnace ironworks will be returned to the imperial court."

Xiao Han said.

"I see."

"But to be honest, it doesn't really make that difference."

"After all, you are dead, do you think that your child will not be able to serve the court?"

"What, do you still want your descendants to be idle princes?"

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth hooked.

"Ahem."

"It's like that for me, but when it comes to others, it's still a big difference."

Xiao Han coughed dryly.

"That's just as well."

Zhu Biao nodded, agreeing.

"By the way, when the ironworks are produced, we will directly make a fleet equipped with iron armor."

"You don't need all the equipment, at least one or two, iron armor with cannons."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Huh?"

"This is going to directly organize a fleet expedition to Fuso?"

Zhu Biao was surprised.

In his expectation, the expedition to Fusang would have to wait at least a few more years, until the Ming Dynasty had enough powerful warships and settled the coastal pirates.

"Of course not."

"You know that, too."

"Our Daming coast is not very peaceful, the Japanese have no fear, if there are not a few powerful warships to escort, then they really dare to rob us of the goods sent to Bago by sea."

Xiao Han said.

"Can't you?"

"Let's start directly from Panyu, we can't go far at all."

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned.

"Alas!"

"Do you think that the Wokou are on our side?"

"To put it bluntly."

"What kind of widows are those widows?"

"It's just a few pirates hired by a few outlaws from our Ming Dynasty."

"Saying that they are Japanese pirates, in fact, aren't they just a few Fusang ronins leading the Ming pirates?"

"They can do this in our Daming, those who cross the country and occupy the country, the strength is still far from our Daming, do you think they will let it go?"

Xiao Han sighed softly.

"It seems, too."

"Dad only said that the sea was not very peaceful, and at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was unable to take care of the sea rashly."

"I never thought that a moment of indulgence would make these pirates rampant."

Zhu Biao also sighed helplessly.

"They won't be rampant for a few years."

"When the three Ryukyu countries are completely annexed, our Ming Dynasty's ironclad fleet will be formed."

"Let's build a naval base directly from there, go north to cut down the Japanese, and give them all the nests."

Xiao Han snorted.

"I'm looking forward to that day too."

"Jinshan Yinshan, hehe."

"Tell my dad earlier, I guess my dad can't help but beat them up a long time ago."

Zhu Biao chuckled.

"It's hard to get."

"Far away from the mountains and seas, if you don't have a suitable forward base, if you rush to the expedition, I'm afraid you will end up with Meng Yuan."

"After all, it's not like Meng Yuan hasn't beaten them."

Xiao Han shook his head slightly.

In this era, the world's navigation level was not too strong, and the strength of the Ming sailors rose after Zheng He went to the West.

At that time, Da Ming was already the only sailor in the world.

And at this time, there are no powerful sailors in the world.

Don't look at the Japanese pirates everywhere, in fact, they are all entrenched in coastal islands, and if you want to talk about ocean warfare, they actually don't have this ability.

"That's just as well."

"The sea is changing, and if the battleship is not strong enough, it is indeed dangerous."

"Okay, it's getting late, I should go, remember to help me think about who should be sent to take care of our Daming Hydro Blast Furnace Ironworks."

"Those who understand business do not understand technology, and those who understand technology do not know how to operate, which is difficult to do."

Zhu Biao nodded.

"Okay."

Xiao Han responded and sent Zhu Biao away.

Zhu Biao left, and Xiao Han also fell into deep thought.

Daming Institute of Technology has not yet been formally established, three or two big cats and small cats, which are talents who know both business and ironmaking, which are so easy to find.

"Xuanyao Guangxiao."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Han spoke.

"Your Highness."

Not long after, Yao Guangxiao came to Xiao Han and saluted Xiao Han respectfully.

"Monk Daoyan, have you read the Daming Iron Alchemy Technique written by this father?"

Xiao Han asked Yao Guangxiao.

"Your Highness forgives your sins."

"Xia Guan didn't have a head to read, but your book was placed in the study of the Guogong Mansion, and Xia Guan thought it was a novelty, so he couldn't help but look at it."

Yao Guangxiao was slightly stunned, and then spoke.

It didn't take long for Xiao Han's Daming Industrial Technique to be written, and not many people had seen it, they were all core members, Yao Guangxiao thought that Xiao Han was going to blame him for this matter.

"Not guilty."

"Now that you've read it, I just want to ask you, what do you think of what I wrote?"

Xiao Han asked Yao Guangxiao.

"His Royal Highness's book, every word is beautiful, and the lower officials think it is wonderful."

Yao Guangxiao said immediately.

"What's the trick?"

Xiao Han continued to ask.

Anyone can pat on the back, Xiao Han wants to know how much Yao Guangxiao has understood.

"His Highness's exposition of the art of iron smelting and smelting is simply unparalleled."

"It's subtle, Xia Guan saw it, and couldn't help but be amazed, before that, Xia Guan never thought that the relationship between qi and alchemy could be so profound."

"Refining gas with furnace and smelting iron with gas, so it can drive the soil and save gold, which is simply the culmination of the five elements and the art of practicing qi."

Yao Guangxiao opened his mouth and expressed his understanding.

"Well, you get the idea?"

Xiao Han's eyes lit up slightly, he originally thought, since he couldn't find someone who understood both iron smelting and economics, then find a smart person to cultivate.

Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao not only read it carefully, but since he also understood it so profoundly, he almost said what Xiao Han didn't say in detail about the chemical reduction reaction.

"Some personal crude opinions are not enough to enter the eyes of His Royal Highness, and they are the axes of the lower officials."

Yao Guangxiao bowed slightly.

"Haha!"

"It's true that you are a class with an axe, but you are in front of Luban, Xingtian Dance is a relative, your understanding of this iron smelting is about to catch up with me, not bad."

"You have read my Daming economics, let's talk about it, your understanding of Daming economics, if you say it well, I will give you a good errand."

Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Yao Guangxiao waved his hand, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Say."

Xiao Han's eyes widened.

"That's right, read Your Highness's Daming Economics."

"The biggest understanding of Xia Guan is that agriculture is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, no agriculture is not standing, work is meat, no work is not strong, business is blood, and no business is not alive."

Yao Guangxiao said to Xiao Han.

"Good, good!"

"Good Yao Guangxiao, it seems that you are the chief official of the Iron Smelting Division."

Xiao Han slapped his palm.
