Fufeng County is located on the southern border of the Zhou Dynasty, close to the Hengduan Mountains.

Lin Ze opened the Gate of Heaven and came here.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless plain, and in the distance is a tall and majestic mountain range, as well as city gates built along the mountain passes.

The plains beyond Chengguan are fertile soil for grain production, while the Hengduan Mountains outside Chengguan are dangerous places where many southern barbarians are entrenched.

The Southern Barbarians have been coveting this fertile land in Fufeng County for countless years, but the tall and towering city gate has blocked their steps, allowing them to bury countless corpses without being able to take a step forward.

Of course, this city gate can only block the large army of the Southern Barbarians, but it cannot stop the small groups of Nanbarbarians who are unable to survive. Therefore, the property and life safety of the people in Fufeng County are also threatened by these thieves from time to time.

Impact.

In order to ensure the security of the border, the Zhou Dynasty had to invest a large amount of military expenditures on the border every year.

And this is the border trouble that Lin Ze wants to quell.

Lin Ze walked all the way and arrived at Fufeng City, the county seat of Fufeng County.

He didn't walk very fast. When he arrived at the city gate, Ji Qingyan, who received the news, was already waiting here in advance.

You are communicating with your brother, but you haven’t heard yet that Lin Ze has estimated that the grassland side cannot make more than 13 million taels of silver a year, so he wants to know that he can’t make much less money there.

Purchasing some fungus, wild vegetables and some prey can make money, but it is a small amount of money, which is far compared to your brother's career.

"However, there are currently no gravel plants, sand plants, and construction materials with very high technical content. He can't organize people to make them. Even if you become a shareholder, he can't find someone to make them himself."

Seeing Hong Yan and Fang Fang coming up, Hong Yan finished telling her plan.

At the gate of the city, the princess's carriage stopped, accompanied by a large number of guards and maids. Many people were separated and waiting, and the scene was full of pomp and circumstance.

Lin Ze was also surprised, and said with a smile: "This railway cost 13,000 taels of silver per kilometer. It is too much for you to charge the emperor's brother 16,000 taels of silver per kilometer. Assume that the emperor's brother allocates 2,000 taels of silver per kilogram from the court tax every year."

Ten thousand taels will come to build a railway a thousand kilometers away."

During the exchange of greetings, Lin Ze and Hong Yanfeng were surrounded by a group of servants and arrived at the main hall. The banquet, singing and dancing outside were not ready yet.

Hearing what Lin Ze said, Ji Qingyan gave a wrong figure: "Last year, in addition to paying money to deduct labor, a total of 13.78 million people were mobilized for labor, which lasted for 80 days."

Hong Yan struck while the iron was cold and took out the relevant drawings that she had prepared earlier from her pocket.

I directly took out a map of the Hengduan Mountains that I had drawn before using a manned drone to take aerial photography, and ended up explaining my money-making plan to Ji Qingyan based on the map.

"The first thing is the railway. Then you have made some calculations. According to the prices in Xiaozhou, the cost of a railway one kilometer away is 13,000 taels of silver. It will definitely cost money to build a railway seven thousand kilometers away, which will run through the entire Xiaozhou Dynasty.

65 million taels of silver."

"Shall we directly end mining, provide enough jobs, and attract all the mountain residents from the entire Hengduan Mountains?"

Money is just money, it is also a resource for cultivation.

The reason why we need the shares of those companies is because we care about the shares of textile factories.

"In addition to the government's appropriation, his brother also raised funds from the private sector to increase the annual railway construction. The profit he received will be even lower. In addition, he can also use the railway to do some monopoly material transportation business.

It would be easy to earn ten million taels a year."

Lin Ze described his arrangements.

"When those mines are opened and all the southern barbarians go mining, the border troubles will naturally be settled."

"Later, you discovered seven smaller mineral deposits in the Hengduan Mountains that are worthy of large-scale mining."

At that time, Ji Qingyan asked: "If we start those businesses, how much expected income can we get?"

After finishing speaking, I asked Hong Yan to get out of the car specially prepared for me, and followed Ji Qingyan's car towards the county governor's mansion in the county.

That question made Hong Yan slightly stunned.

"I have seen the princess in the palace."

After a few seconds of excitement, Ji Qingyan shook her head and said: "Road and water transport tax customs are related to the country. Brother Huang will let you keep it out of your hands. At least, I will contract the construction of the railway to you, so that you can

Make some money."

Listening to Lin Ze's arrangements, even if Lin Ze clearly told you that the benefits of the mining would be distributed to you, Ji Qingyan didn't have any mood swings.

Then, Lin Ze continued to calculate:

"The humble house is luxurious, please don't blame Ziyi. There is no royal palace here in Beihai, and there is no other royal brother living here, so your seventh brother moved out directly, and after Fufeng County, there is no

Are there any clans entrusted outside?"

"Besides this, you cannot form a railway company. In the later stage, you will first use the construction sites in Nanman to accumulate technical personnel. In the future, you cannot accept orders from the imperial court to build railways to various places in Xiaozhou. He cannot directly

When I go to Brother You to get an order, I worry about making money."

In the garden of the Sheriff's Mansion, Lin Ze and Hong Yanfeng were sitting opposite each other, with all the young valets and bodyguards staying dozens of meters away. The two were chatting while playing backgammon.

The way to make money is so easy, it seems to be more profitable than a textile factory.

"Without rail steam locomotive transportation technology, we can only transport the minerals in the mountains at a slow speed, which will not make the minerals that are difficult to mine and have low value lose very little value."

Halfway through, you were supported by Ji Qingyan with the strength of the air. You smiled and said: "Ziyi must be polite, please leave the city for a while."

Before they said goodbye, the two parties, who had not seen each other for more than a month, faded away, the atmosphere became harmonious, and they ended talking about business.

"But there is no longer a road protection team. He can't ask his brother for some personnel to form a guard team to protect the railway. That will not effectively increase the manpower that his superiors cannot mobilize and protect his own property from danger."

After all, the explosives technology and transportation technology were all developed by Lin Ze himself. The Fengping County Coal Mine cannot train mine managers yet. When the time comes, it cannot directly pull over a management team from here. Everything cannot be

Qiuli people.

"The mine needs a small amount of money in the later stage. He has technology, capital, and talent, but that doesn't mean there is anything he can't do."

"As for the labor saved, the labor force is used in mining, textile or other income that I cannot create. It is too much for you to use cement to obtain 80% of the profits from that market."

"In the later period, Fufeng County needs to invest a small amount of labor to build roads before mining can make money. It will take at least a year to achieve initial results, but on the other hand, once the mining is successful, the benefits will be

It’s also comparable to textile factories.”

"The first is the cement factory. He probably doesn't know the effects of that kind of building material. At present, building roads and city gate water conservancy projects is time-consuming and laborious, and tens of millions of young people from all over the country have to be mobilized to do corvee work. But without cement, it is easy.

Only save those things."

"So, I will stay in the county governor's mansion temporarily and wait until your princess mansion is built."

In that case, it is necessary to share the interests of the mine with others.

The distribution of interests is related to strength. It must be a special businessman who speaks like this. This is not a matter of life and death, but Lin Ze, who has weak personal strength and Hong Yan, who does not have a deep background, says that, it is not a matter of course.

Seeing Lin Ze arriving, she was wearing a long moon-white palace dress, with two maids helping to hold the hem of the skirt. Ji Qingyan, who was hot and ugly and looked like a fairy from the Moon Palace, walked into the car and drove.

"But now you use railways to undertake water transportation and transport goods from north to south. If you only take advantage of that market, deducting the expenses of taxation and road protection, you can conservatively earn 80 million taels of silver a year. Is there any problem?

."

Well, Lin Ze is very good at Go. It was difficult for a woman and a man to chat while they were sitting together, so they simply played Seven-Bang.

Nodding, Lin Ze continued: "The price of a day's corvee is 70 taels of silver according to the current labor force, and a month is 2100 taels of silver. This does not mean that the total value of the yamen servants is 28.938 million taels of silver, which is not 870 if rounded up.

Ten thousand taels of silver."

"Next, building roads requires a small amount of cement. Well, it is not the building materials used in fertilizer plants and thermal power plants, so they only set up cement plants and recruit workers to produce cement to supply the needs for road construction. You will provide them with it.

You will share the relevant technology and shares of the cement plant equally."

The whole process is just like it was in Beihaiguan at that time, except that the beauties singing and dancing have different looks, so there is nothing new.

Because I have never calculated that issue before. The profit of textiles is very clear and difficult to calculate, but the profit calculation of that kind of mine is relatively simple.

Very slowly, when they arrived at their destination, Ji Qingyan led Lin Ze back into the mansion.

"Because the textile factory has little technical content, it is slow to withdraw and make money slowly."

"What should we do next?"

"According to what Ziyi said, you have not finished preparing the back-end work in the past period of time. You have stocked up a lot of grain and grass in the granary in Fufeng City. In addition, you have also recruited a lot of laborers to be on standby. Nothing to do with Shanzhen.

The acquisition is not over yet.”

If you can make so little money every year, then you only have no resources to cultivate to the realm of gods and humans. You cannot even buy fewer resources to shorten your cultivation time and reach the realm of gods and humans in a younger manner. Then try to

To pursue the realm below heaven and man.

However, it is also possible to be completely independent. It is possible for the locals in the Xiao Zhou Dynasty to succeed, but good things cannot be done. So let Ji Qingyan make money along with you, and by the way, let you help solve some problems related to the mining farm facilities.

Things.

"Well, it's too late. He should finish the preparations to decommission the cement plant and the railway company."

"It will take about two years to recover the capital."

------------------

"Shachang Gravel Factory, what's the problem with the profits of those factories and mines being deducted from the cement production? If you deduct the share, I conservatively estimate that he can't make seven to seven million taels of silver from the cement factory every year."

"At the same time, we must also try our best to attract these barbarians from the mountains to come out and join your cause."

"Of course, that's the key point. The key point is how he makes money next."

Ji Qingyan's attitude is very low. For the sake of money, she respects Lin Ze, the God of Wealth.

"Until the needs for railway construction are met, the cement cannot be sold, which is also a long-term withdrawal."
