Facing Ouyang Si¡¯s ¡®question¡¯, Zhou Bo smiled calmly, ¡°Xuan Tie, we have been preparing!¡±
As soon as Zhou Bo opened his mouth, he made great efforts to prevent the other party from raising any issues.
The coldness on Ouyang Si's face faded a bit.
However, Zhou Bo's face showed a bit of strength, "However, there are some things we don't understand about His Majesty's oral instructions."
¡°To say ¡®I don¡¯t understand¡¯ actually means that I don¡¯t agree or oppose it, but it¡¯s put euphemistically.
What was completely expected, Ouyang Si asked directly without thinking: "Which ones?"
"This oral order only requires two thousand tons of black iron, but it didn't mention the purity."
¡°60% is enough.¡±
Zhou Bo and others breathed a sigh of relief. If it was just 60% pure black iron, everyone would have no pressure at all.
Since the Zhang family disclosed the new technology, everyone can directly produce 60% of the black iron, and the output has increased by more than ten times. After mass production, the cost has been reduced to less than two-thirds of traditional costs.
But just because there is no pressure, it does not mean that it is given in vain.
So Zhou Bo said again: "We can definitely supply 60% of the black iron. But the previous oral instructions did not seem to mention the time for repayment on credit?"
Ouyang Si was a little hesitant: "The country is in quite a difficult situation now."
¡°That¡¯s why we allow credit!¡±
¡°We still don¡¯t know how long the war will last.¡±
"That's why we need credit." Zhou Bo has a bit of Zhang Hao's rogue charm. That¡¯s all I say!
Ouyang Si¡¯s face darkened, ¡°The treasury is very nervous now, and the future situation is uncertain!¡±
This is about opening up the skylight and speaking out - the treasury has no money, please give me some suggestions!
Zhou Bo smiled, this is what he was waiting for! We knew there was no money in the treasury and this was our opportunity!
Zhou Bo took out a letter of intent, which was of course not an equity intention, but an internal ¡®petition¡¯ from the Black Iron Guild.
"What is this?" Ouyang Si had a bad feeling.
Zhou Bo spoke righteously: "Prime Minister Ouyang, it is generally believed in our guild that even if the national treasury is empty, we cannot cut off the country's supply of black iron."
Will you be so good? Ouyang Si looked at Zhou Bo with suspicion.
Zhou Bo said leisurely: "But producing so much black iron requires a lot of production materials. Whether it is ore, spiritual stone, or even charcoal, etc."
Ouyang Si nodded reluctantly. This is a fact, Xuan Tie did not fall out of thin air.
Zhou Bo continued: "So we have a proposal. Our Black Iron Guild wants the 'Huanci Mountain' in the south of Ninghe County, as well as the fifty-mile radius of Luanci Mountain."
Want a mine?
Ouyang Si was a little surprised.
The last time Ouyang Si negotiated with the Black Iron Guild, the Black Iron Guild proposed to support 200 tons of Black Iron every day, and the country would compensate them with "future tax revenue" or in kind.
But now that the country wants another 2,000 tons, everyone has given up. If we continue like this, everyone will break up, and you won¡¯t be able to take any more of the two hundred tons per day.
So when Ouyang Si came to negotiate this time, he was a little unsure.
At this time, Ouyang Si heard that the Black Iron Guild wanted the mine, and Ouyang Si's mind became active. But Ouyang Si didn't understand this Chaotic Mountain.
After confirming that the Black Iron Guild only wanted to control the Cishan Mountain, Ouyang Si temporarily resigned and went to the City Lord's Mansion to ask Liu Jingming.
"The other party only wants Luanci Mountain?" Liu Jingming was a little surprised after hearing this, "There are no other conditions?"
Ouyang Si was also a little puzzled: "That's it. It said that as long as Luanci Mountain and a radius of fifty miles are assigned to the Black Iron Guild, the Black Iron Guild will not only give away two thousand tons of Black Iron for free.
And the cost of the dark iron, which was two hundred tons per day until the end of the Eastern Expedition, has also been written off.
The only condition is that it needs to be tax-free for 100 years.
Where is this Luanci Mountain? "
Liu Jingming thought for a moment, "I'll take you to see it."
Liu Jingming took Ouyang Si and flew all the way to the south. After flying for about 20 minutes, the two of them saw a black mountain peak. These peaks are not high, but they are all dark and do not look like a good place.
When we got closer, we found that the rocks here were jagged and barren of grass. At the foot of the mountain, there is still red ground fire flowing.
Several intermittent, turbid rivers meander in the ravines, and some flow directly into the ground fire, raising a turbid cloud and mist.?
"Poor mountains and harsh waters?" Ouyang Si was extremely surprised.
"It can be said to be a barren mountain, but it can also be said to be a treasure mountain." Liu Jingming waved his hand, "This chaotic Cishan is all made of black iron ore."
"So many!" Ouyang Si was so surprised that he couldn't speak. As far as the eye could see, they were all pitch black hills. If this place were all black iron ore, how many would there be!
But wait;
"Since there is black iron ore here, why is no one mining it?"
¡°No, it¡¯s deserted here.
Although the country of Qixia is rich in black iron ore, it is not everywhere. There is no reason to let such a vast mine go.
Liu Jingming said slowly: "There are many reasons. This is a barren mountainous area. If mining is opened here, food, etc., will not be grown and everything will have to be purchased from outside.
In the black iron industry, prices are transparent and net profits are not high. If all food had to be purchased from outside, it would be a huge expense.
? Coupled with the remoteness, transportation costs are difficult to ignore.
The environment here is harsh, the spiritual energy is extremely thin, cultivation is a problem, and even the craftsmen are unwilling to come here.
Especially the surface ore is very poor, and you have to dig very deep to find relatively good ore.
I once sent people to dig, but after digging more than thirty feet (hundreds of meters), only ordinary ore was dug out. "
"I see!" Ouyang Si suddenly realized, but then frowned: "If this place is so bad, why did the Black Iron Guild choose this place?"
Liu Jingming¡¯s expression changed, and he hesitated for a while before saying: ¡°I heard from Zhu Yuantang that the Xuantie Guild believes that the country does not have the ability to repay, and is worried that the country will default on its debts.
Rather than doing this, it is better to ask for a mine. But in Ninghe County, this mine is the only one left that has no owner. "
"Oh" Ouyang Si responded, but didn't quite believe it.
He has met Zhang Hao, met Zhou Bo, and met everyone in the Black Iron Guild.
What Ouyang Si saw on these people¡¯s faces was that they were full of red light!
?Obviously, things are not as simple as they appear.
Ouyang Si knows very well that these families may make some contributions to the country, but they will never pay so much.
200 tons of black iron are supported every day; if the war lasts for a year, the black iron guild will have to pay 75,000 tons of black iron!
Ouyang Si dared to swear with his head: Xuantie Guild would never be so generous!
Thinking of this, Ouyang Si asked doubtfully: "Does the Black Iron Guild have a way to dig this mine?"
Liu Jingming smiled: "If the Black Iron Guild is really capable of developing this mine, why not give it to them!"
Ouyang Si was stunned for a moment, looking at the nearly endless Luanci Mountain in front of him, and after a while he nodded thoughtfully: "You are right, it doesn't matter if we give this place to them.
"It's just a hundred years of tax exemption, which is too long. Ten years is almost the same." "
