Three Kingdoms: The son-in-law was lying flat, and Lu Bu eavesdropped on his heart

Qin Jian!

It is the pinnacle of ancient bronze swords.

The weapons of this period were still mainly bronze swords, and iron weapons were not popular at all.

In the Han Dynasty, before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, copper and iron weapons still coexisted, and copper weapons were the dominant ones.

However, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to specialize in salt and iron, iron officials organized large-scale iron smelting production, promoted iron smelting techniques, and mass-produced iron weapons. From then on, iron weapons began to replace copper weapons.

By the Eastern Han Dynasty, iron weapons had basically replaced bronze weapons.

It was precisely for this reason that the imperial court turned the salt and iron monopoly that had lasted for hundreds of years into a taxation system.

But in recent years!

The imperial court kept fighting without stopping at all.

The wear and tear of the weapons was so great that there was no time to repair them simply by relying on the work test order.

Coupled with the recruitment of soldiers and the consumption of arrowheads, the team expanded too quickly, resulting in a serious shortage of weapons.

This time!

The imperial court replaced equipment for the entire army.

For private businessmen, this will be an unprecedented opportunity.

Zhen Qiong understands the strategic significance of this matter very well.

According to Liu Yu's description, within a three-year duration, and factoring in the increase in price, he will definitely be able to make a fortune.

In this way, his position in the Zhen family will be more stable, so that all those nagging people can shut up.

"How about it? Zhen

Qiong asked hurriedly:"Has the calculation been done?"

Zhen Jin, the accountant of the Zhen family, said angrily:"It's almost time to come out.""

"oh?

Zhen Qiong asked urgently:"What's the result?""

Zhen Jin handed over the results:"If according to the current price of iron ore, the imperial court would only need more than 80 million yuan to replace equipment for all the soldiers and horses. Excluding the remanufacturing of some weapons, I'm afraid it would be half that, at least 40 million yuan. money!"

"Forty million dollars? Zhen

Qiong frowned and pondered for a long time:"Isn't it possible to cross 100 million?""

Zhen Jin hurriedly explained:"Sir, don't worry, I think 570, once the imperial decree is promulgated, the price of iron ore will inevitably rise. By then, I am afraid that it will not be able to beat it with 100 million or 200 million."

Although iron tools no longer need official support, they still need to be controlled by the court.

Since weapons cannot be produced, they can only be used as farming tools for civilians.

But once these things are produced, it is difficult to damage them.

Even if they are damaged, they can be taken out Just come back to the furnace and rebuild it.

Therefore, the price of iron ore has always been very low.

The mines have become very cheap because they cannot grow crops and trees.

To put it bluntly, if you buy mines and ores now, It’s simply a cabbage price.

But once the imperial decree is promulgated, I’m afraid it won’t be doubled.

Zhen Qiong is a merchant, so he naturally understands the economic benefits.

His eyes are bright and he makes the decision without hesitation. :"quick! Immediately send someone to find out where there is iron ore. No matter what the price is, buy them all and eat as much as you can!"

"Here!"

Zhen Jin bowed and handed over his hands.

Immediately, he bowed and left.

"Ha ha!"

Zhen Qiong looked up to the sky and laughed, extremely happy.

As if!

He had already imagined the scene of sleeping with the golden horseshoe in his hands.

Those people in the Zhen family who looked down on us were stunned by their dividends, and they all flattered and praised us. I'm awesome.

It's so cool!

It's so cool!

"newspaper~~~"

Just at this moment, a long report sounded outside the hall.

Zhen Qiong looked up.

But when he saw a young boy coming in a hurry, he leaned over and said,"Sir, Su Shuang took people to Youbeiping. I heard that they were going to negotiate a business deal, and they were pulling several cartloads of money!""

"kindness? Zhen

Qiong was stunned for a moment:"Su Shuang has his own ticket number, but he is still carrying several large carts of money?""

Strange!

Although the ticket number is not so popular now.

But in Youzhou, Su Shuang's ticket number is still very prestigious.

Under normal circumstances, ordinary people are willing to deposit money in the ticket number. Logically speaking, they only need to bring Just pay the banknote.

But......

This time Su Shuang actually pulled a large amount of money?

Obviously, he was worried that the other party would not recognize his banknote, so he took the cash.

Right Beiping?

Zhen Qiong immediately thought of ore and asked urgently:"Is there iron ore in Youbeiping?"

The boy frowned and nodded hurriedly:"Yes, yes! The business they seem to be discussing is about ore. Our agent heard Su Shuang's words on the roadside, but he didn't quite understand what kind of ore it was!"

"It’s really iron ore!"

Zhen Qiong looked confused.

Good guy!

Su Shuang's movements were faster than hers.

The other party made it clear that they were eyeing this piece of fat.

But Su Shuang never thought that he also knew the news in advance.

"snort!"

The corners of Zhen Qiong's lips raised slightly, revealing a hint of sinisterness:"Just by Su Shuang? Just a few years of accumulation, are you worthy of competing for business with our Zhen family?"

"Go and deliver the order quickly!"

Zhen Qiong immediately ordered:"Ask Zhen Jin to rush to Zhen's house in Zhongshan, pull five large carts and go straight to Youbeiping. In addition, prepare your horses quickly. I will rush to Youbeiping in person to intercept this batch of business!"

As a businessman, Zhen Qiong understands very well. If you want to make big money in this kind of business, you must achieve a monopoly.

Only by monopolizing the ore can you have the power to set prices. Otherwise, you will only have internal conflicts with other merchants and rely on low prices to grab orders..

This kind of business, to put it bluntly, can only make hard money!

Besides, there is Taifu Liu Yu in the court, and she makes money for him.

Zhen Qiong doesn't care at all that if she goes too far, she will not get the money!

Since it is guaranteed , then you can do it boldly!

The boy bowed his head and said:"Here!"

Immediately, he bowed and left.

In terms of later generations, Hebei is a large iron ore province.

This was originally a great advantage for the Zhen family. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

But unfortunately, Later Hebei was composed of most of Jizhou and Youzhou in the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the map, iron ore basically exists near the Yanshan Mountains in Youzhou.

In the plain areas inside Jizhou, there is almost no iron ore, only in There are some iron ore near Handan and Xiang of Zhao State.

But unfortunately, today's Han Dynasty has not mined it yet.

There is no other way.

The Zhen family can only follow to Youbeiping to seize iron ore resources.

But fortunately, their pace is not yet Slow down. (aheb) When Zhen Qiong arrived at Wuji, Su Shuang was discussing the business with the other party

"The price he gave me was doubled!"

Before Zhen Qiong could walk in, he rushed in impatiently. Not even the servants in the palace could stop him.

At this moment, in the living room, a man with beards could not help but turn his head to look at Zhen Qiong. :"May I ask your Excellency whether......"

Zhen Qiong hurriedly bowed her head:"You are Han Zhen, the head of the Han clan, right? I am Zhen Qiong, the head of the Zhen family in Zhongshan!"

"It turned out to be the Zhen family."

Han Xian looked up to the sky and let out a haha, cupped his hands and fists, and stood up to greet him.

"How did you come?"

Su Shuang pretended to be shocked, widened his eyes, and stared at Han Xian in disbelief.

"how? Zhen

Qiong raised the corners of her lips slightly, and while sitting down, she said,"You can visit Chief Han, but I, Zhen Qiong, can't come?" You can discuss business with Patriarch Han, but can’t I, Zhen Qiong?"

"are you......"

Su Shuang tentatively said

"That's right!"

Zhen Qiong nodded.

Although the two of them were talking in code, they knew it well.

Su Shuang exhaled a breath and said without hesitation:"Clan Chief Han, let's do this. On the price I negotiated before, let's translate it. Shifan, I, Su Shuang, bought your mine."

"ah? Han

Zhen was stunned for a moment:"You don't want to buy ore, but you want to buy a mine?""

Su Shuang nodded:"Yes! I want them all, including the mining workers under your command. If possible, we can pay the deposit and sign the contract today, how about it?"

"Ah, this......"

Han Zhen was in a daze.

Zhen Qiong below immediately said:"Clan Chief Han, don't let him deceive you. The price of this mine is different from the ore. Let's do this. Our Zhen family is willing to pay fifteen times the money to sign a contract with you.""

"I don't have much with me, only one hundred gold, which I can regard as a deposit. As for the rest, I will give it all within five days. My Zhen family's accounting office is already on the way."

Fifteen times!

Fuck!

Su Shuang was so angry that he almost went crazy:"Zhen Qiong, do you know how much I paid? If you just multiply it fifteen times, once the three-year period has passed, are you still counting on it to give birth to cubs?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Zhen

Qiong raised her arrogant head and said slightly:"Su Shuang, I admit that you have developed well in Youzhou over the years, but when it comes to family wealth, how can the efforts of several generations of my Zhen family be counted in vain?" you!"

"Today, I, Zhen Qiong, will take advantage of Patriarch Han’s mine."

Zhen Qiong's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she spoke with steel teeth.

"Patriarch!"

Su Shuang exhaled a breath and said loudly:"We have been here for many years.We have made friends. When I was a small vendor, I also helped you a lot!"

"this mine......"

Before he finished speaking, Han Zhen waved his hand without hesitation:"Brother Su, I admit that you are a good person, but you must understand that business is business and friendship is friendship. The two must not be confused."

"Here's me! Of course ,

Han Zhen was not a fool. He smiled calmly:"The principle of doing business is very simple. The one with the highest price gets it. The mountain is that mountain. Whoever pays the highest price, I will sell to!""

"Ha ha! Zhen Qiong looked up to the sky and laughed wildly:"

Clan Chief Han's words make sense!" Yes, business is business, and it must not be mixed with friendship, otherwise the business will deteriorate!"

"Double!"

Following that, Su Shuang took a deep breath and said loudly:"I, Su Shuang, will double the price, sixteen times, and buy your mine at sixteen times the price. Are you willing?"

"Seventeen times! Zhen Qiong's lips slightly raised:"

I will pay seventeen times!""

"Eighteen times!"

"Nineteen times!"

"Twenty times!"

"......"

Zhen Qiong and Su Shuang discuss business.

It's like buying vegetables at a wet market, asking for prices face to face.

Han Zhen was very happy to hear that. this feeling......

Like golden horseshoes falling down with a splash

"Thirty times! Zhen

Qiong simply bid thirty times the price:"You have the nerve to keep bidding higher!" I want to see how much money you can make if you can Su Shuang, how dare you compare with my Zhen family!"

"you are vicious! Su

Shuang stood up and suddenly turned around:"I really don't believe it anymore. With the financial resources of your Zhen family, can you buy all the mines in Youzhou?""

"Although my financial resources, Su Shuang, are not as good as yours!"

"but......"

Su Shuang exhaled a breath and said in a ferocious voice:"I, Su Shuang, have decided on this deal together. Let's see!"

Zhen Qiong smiled lightly:"I'll stay with you until the end!"

Please order!.
