"Ah" Zhang Hao stretched hard and looked at the gorgeous um thick dark clouds in the east. It was another refreshing morning.
Yesterday, Zhang Hao and the city lord Liu Jingming discussed it all night, and finally the two parties reached an agreement.
The Zhang family will build a factory for the country. The factory is expected to be completed in half a year - but if it encounters external interference, such as war, the actual situation will prevail.
It is expected that after the factory is completed, it will be able to produce 60% of the black iron and 500 tons per day. In addition, the factory will use mechanized operations, including mechanical forging equipment, and be able to produce black iron with a purity of more than 90%.
In the factory, mechanized equipment such as steam turbines and some simple stamping machine tools will be used.
Zhang Hao promised that the technical level of the factory will not be weaker than that of the current Black Iron Guild. As for the technical level of the Zhang family it's kept secret!
The factory is expected to invest 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones; Liu Jingming and the country have no money, so they can only pay with mines and land.
Facing such a factory, Liu Jingming also yearned for it. A factory that can produce 500 tons of dark iron per day is enough to support the national needs of the entire Qixia Country - in principle!
This alone made Liu Jingming¡¯s heart flutter. Therefore, during the bargaining process, Liu Jingming gave Zhang Hao, that is, the Zhang family a great deal of leniency.
The area of ??the Zhang family's fiefdom has expanded from five towns to seven towns; in addition, Zhang Hao also obtained many "abandoned mines" from Liu Jingming. These mines include depleted spirit stone veins and abandoned black iron veins - but these are where Zhang Shengde discovered oil.
There is even a copper mine - it should be called a cuprite mine.
Unlike iron, copper naturally has more neutrons than protons. So theoretically speaking, in this world, as long as it is pure copper, it can be regarded as a spiritual material.
"However, most of the copper ores in this world contain other impurities and some associated ores that are difficult to screen. After smelting, they will form 'brass' - and what cultivators need is red copper; to put it bluntly, it is pure copper. However, there are very few excellent pure copper ores.
Copper mines containing associated ores cannot be mined with current technology. In particular, the copper content in copper mines is often very low, some even less than 10%. In the current environment, there is no mining value.
In fact, before electrolytic copper technology, it was difficult for humans to obtain pure copper.
"This is really a rich harvest!" Zhang Hao smiled.
Now the Zhang family owns a fiefdom the size of seven towns, almost 3,000 square kilometers! Occupying almost one-twentieth of the area of ??Ninghe County, the western part of Ninghe County became the Zhang family's private land.
This night, Liu Jingming actually "struggled" many times. However, as the saying goes, a penny cannot beat a hero. Ninghe County now has no money and the treasury has no money, so it has no choice but to sell the land.
However, near dawn, Zhang Hao talked about the Xuantie Guild with the city lord Liu Jingming again. Young Master Zhang Hao also did something to betray his teammates - he sold the Xuantie Guild!
The price is¡ªLiu Jingming¡¯s favor!
At this time, Zhang Hao was in a good mood. He had finally established a firm foothold in this world and was changing the surroundings according to his own will.
Walking out of the city lord's mansion, Zhang Hao went over everything, and then a sneer hung on his lips: There is something that needs to be settled by the Queen!
This matter is what Zhou Bo told Wei Zirong, the young master of the Kingdom of Jinyang, about the Zhang family's preferential price for domestic black iron! In fact, this matter is not big or small, but Zhang Hao is ready to use the topic to play on it.
Zhang Hao did not go directly to the Black Iron Guild, but went back to the Zhang Mansion first and asked someone to send a message to the Black Iron Factory to mint 500 tons of Black Iron coins as quickly as possible and send them to the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhang Hao then greeted the busy people of the Weapon Refining Guild. More than half a month has passed. The headquarters of the Weapon Refining Guild has been completed and is now moving.
After that, Zhang Haocai and Feng Zhiling came to the Xuantie Guild.
The entrance of the Black Iron Union is very lively, and the vehicles are still flowing continuously. Thanks to the advancement of technology and the emergence of patent regulations, the price of Black Iron from the Black Iron Guild continues to fall.
But on the other hand, a large number of people surrounded the place and confronted the guards here. The faces of the people were full of anger. Among them were representatives of some small families and shopkeepers. They denounced the "misbehavior" of the Black Iron Guild.
But the guards at the Black Iron Guild looked at these people coldly, the weapons in their hands were shining with cold light, and the treasure armor on their bodies was also shining with treasure. Thanks to the advancement of Dark Iron smelting technology, the guards of the Dark Iron Guild have all put on new clothes.
The appearance of Zhang Hao and Feng Zhiling immediately attracted the attention of the guards, and the guard captain immediately ran in to report.
Zhang Hao put his hands behind his back and walked forward unsteadily; unexpectedly, a guard stood in front of Zhang Hao: "Deacon Zhang, please wait a moment, we have notified the vice chairman."
Zhang Hao smiled brightly: "Very good, really good!"
Zhang Hao¡¯s smile made the guard feel uneasy, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, standing in front of Zhang Hao. In fact, everyone understands that although the Xuantie Guild, Xuantie Factory, and the Zhang family still retain some status, they exist in name only.
The Zhang family and Xuantie Factory have already established a separate branch.
After a while, the guards came out and proudly invited Zhang Hao and Feng Zhiling in.
Zhang Hao walked into the Xuantie Guild calmly with a smile on his face, without any anger at all.
The Xuantie Guild is still so busy. Almost a month has passed, and the Black Iron Guild without the Zhang family is developing very rapidly; but Zhang Hao feels that it should be better described with the words "barbaric expansion".
During this period of time, the expansion of the Black Iron Guild was irrational. They were just instinctively pursuing profits. But this laid the foundation for the Black Iron Guild's troubles.
When the Zhang family was still there, they tried their best to preserve the value of the Xuantie coins; but now the Xuantie Guild doesn't care about this at all.
They took advantage of the superiority of technology to amass money crazily. They used the proliferation of low-grade black iron to exchange for precious survival resources in society. They also caused a major devaluation of the currency and caused great panic.
This has aroused the murderous intention of the city lord.
In order to prevent chaos in Ninghe County and ensure the environment for the rapid development of the Zhang family, Zhang Hao had to come over and clean up this mess!
Zhou Bo is sitting directly above the Xuantie Guild Hall, where the chairman sits. But now Zhou Bo was sitting in the chairman's seat, looking down at Zhang Hao without getting up.
There were many people from the Black Iron Guild around, also sitting in their seats, looking at Zhang Hao lazily and arrogantly.
When Zhang Hao saw him, the smile on his face became even brighter. Standing at the door, Zhang Hao did not go in and said directly: "Zhou Bo, on behalf of Zhang Shengde, chairman of the Black Iron Guild, I now officially announce:
We will exercise our once-a-year veto power to revoke your status as Vice Chairman of the Black Iron Guild! The reason is that you have committed 'treason'! "
With that said, Zhang Hao took out the jade slips, which were recorded by Wei Zirong, the young master of the Kingdom of Jinyang.
