I am a corrupt official, but they say I am a loyal minister!

In addition to these aristocratic families, there are also many merchant families and famous families who come to Lin Beifan. Although I can't get the cement distribution rights, I still hope to rank higher and get more tax benefits.

In this way, Lin Beifan received another 5 million taels.

Therefore, through this city construction, Lin Beifan received a total of 25 million taels.

"Another big fortune, haha!"Lin Beifan was very happy and felt that the hard work during this period was not in vain.

Now that the money has been collected, let's do it well!

Lin Beifan successively announced which families had obtained the cement distribution rights and which families had obtained the tax exemption policy. He also solemnly stated, As soon as the city was established, all rights would be opened up to support them in setting up factories and doing business.

In this way, the matter was settled, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

And the matter spread quickly throughout the world, and shocked the world!

At first, the imperial court accepted hundreds of When there are tens of thousands of victims, many forces are waiting to see the joke!

You know, these millions of victims have no houses, no land, no food, no money. It can be said that they have nothing, but they consume food and materials every day, which is an unimaginable amount for the court. The burden!

If you continue to support it, it will inevitably bring down the court!

If you don’t support it, it will lead to disunity and a huge blow to the court’s reputation!

They waited for the court to be unable to hold on and revolted!

But they never expected that , in less than a month, it was actually revitalized by Lin Beifan!

Through the magical invention of cement, a new city was built outside the capital, which solved the resettlement problem of the victims.

Through the contribution system, famous families, Merchants from all over the world were attracted to donate money and materials.

Not only did it solve the most urgent problem of food and clothing for the victims, it also solved a series of subsequent problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, completely revitalizing this new city!

The most terrifying thing is that, He could actually feed back the imperial court and make the imperial court rich.

This is really... turning decay into magic!!!

While everyone admired Lin Beifan even more, they also became more curious about cement.

This is really an artifact for building houses. Is that why everyone is flocking to it?

If so, can they own it?

So, they sent out experts to find out.

In the end, as Lin Beifan expected, cement has no technical barriers at all, and many people know how to do it at a glance. Get some After the samples are fiddled with, cement can be made.

The land of Northern Hebei is the royal palace.

The King of Northern Hebei looked at Mr. Zhuge, the military advisor who walked in excitedly, and asked anxiously:"Army advisor, how is the situation? Is it true?"

"When I got back to the prince, my subordinates had already sent people to see it, and the situation was completely true! Mr.

Zhuge said excitedly:"The Number One Scholar really built thousands of houses in just a few days with the help of his incredible invention of cement!" At the same time, it was indeed relying on cement to attract all the wealthy businessmen from major aristocratic families to donate money and materials, solving the food, clothing, housing and transportation problems of millions of disaster victims! It also made the imperial court...a lot richer!

King Jibei's breathing became rapid:"That cement...is it really that magical?""

"It’s absolutely true, Your Majesty!"Mr. Zhuge's face was very serious.

King Jibei became even more anxious:"Why don't you contact Mr. Lin quickly and find out how to make cement!

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said,"I'll give him whatever he wants!" Mr.

Zhuge smiled calmly:"Your Majesty, no need, because the method of making cement has been brought back by my subordinates!""

"real?"King Jibei's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it at all.

"How dare you deceive the prince? Mr. Zhuge cupped his hands and said with a smile:"Because the method of making cement is very simple, the people sent by my subordinates learned it after just one look!" So, Your Majesty, this time we don’t need to contact the Number One Scholar, we don’t need to pay for it, we can make cement ourselves!"

"real? That's great! Ha ha!"The King of Northern Hebei was overjoyed.

There was no telling how much sadness and pain was hidden in his laughter! You know, how much did he pay to obtain Lin Beifan's two inventions?

Not only did the palace become poor, but the entire economy of Northern Hebei It’s depressed!

And now, you’re telling me that I don’t have to pay for it?

I can make cement by myself?

Oh my god, I can’t imagine it!

King Jibei seems to have broken free from his prison. He no longer needs to be exploited or oppressed. Now, there is a feeling of turning over and becoming the master!

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"The cheerful laughter spread throughout the palace.

Even Mr. Zhuge, the military advisor, secretly wiped his tears, crying with joy.

After laughing, King Jibei's mind became active.

Since Lin Beifan can raise supplies by selling cement, Can he also accumulate money?

You know, he is very poor now and needs food and money very much!

So, he immediately expressed his thoughts

"Your Majesty, my subordinates feel that there is much to be done!

Mr. Zhuge smiled and said:"We can definitely follow the example of Zhuang Yuan Lang and introduce a contribution system!" As long as whoever contributes enough food and supplies, we will give him the right to sell cement! In this way, we can not only raise enough supplies, but also continuously earn money, which is beneficial to our great cause!"

"Not bad, good point!"The prince smiled happily.

"And, Your Majesty, now is a God-given opportunity! Mr. Zhuge said excitedly:"On the Zhuangyuanlang side, we need to build a new city to sell cement. It will take two or three months, but we can make cement now!" In this way, we can seize the opportunity and snatch away the merchants!"

"Yes, yes, what you said makes perfect sense. Let’s snatch them over now!"The prince smiled even more happily.

"In addition to cement, Zhuangyuanlang has also launched a series of preferential tax policies, which are said to have received a good response among businessmen! Your Majesty, can we too?……"

The prince frowned:"Reducing taxes for businessmen? Isn't this equivalent to sending money abroad? It's too late for me to tax more, so forget this policy!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"Mr. Zhuge nodded.

He had the same idea as the prince. This tax preferential policy is purely to send money abroad and is completely unnecessary.

With cement, the magic weapon for building houses, are you afraid that you can't attract businessmen?

At this moment, the two of them People seemed to have seen the food and money flying toward them, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Military advisor, I’ll leave it to you next!"

"Don't worry, my lord!"

Then, Mr. Zhuge went to work on this matter with great enthusiasm.

He announced to the outside world that they could also produce cement, and now they are attracting foreign investment, hoping that interested people would come to invest. The momentum was huge, as if they were going to compete with the imperial court!

There were also martial arts The King of Xi, the King of Jiangnan and others were not to be outdone, and announced to the outside world that they could also produce cement. They hoped that wealthy businessmen would come to invest. They were very welcome. The same was true for other vassal kings!

In the entire Dawu, It seemed like there was a cement boom!

During the morning court, the empress called on all the officials to discuss countermeasures.

Only Lin Beifan looked calm:"Your Majesty, don't take this matter to your heart!

The empress was stunned:"Ai Qing, why do you say that?""

"I have long said that making cement is not difficult, and they will be able to steal it sooner or later! However, it is not that easy to make money from cement. They do not have this condition at all! Lin Beifan smiled proudly.

"My dear, don't be too pretentious. Can you tell me in detail?"The empress urged

"OK, Your Majesty! Lin Beifan held his head high and said with wisdom:"First, if you want to make cement, you must need clay, limestone, and iron slag. All three are indispensable!" Clay and limestone are easy to obtain, but iron slag is not!"

"You know, the iron ore is in the hands of our court, and private mining is prohibited! And iron slag is the waste left after iron is struck! Therefore, in the whole world, only our court has a large amount of iron slag. Other vassals simply do not have this condition, which restricts their production!"

Everyone nodded, and the empress said:"Ai Qing, keep talking!"

"Second, even if they find these three things, production cost is a factor that cannot be ignored! Lin

Beifan smiled proudly:"Weichen's cement factory can obtain a large amount of limestone less than five miles south." In less than three miles to the west, abundant amounts of fine clay are available. Less than seven miles to the north, iron ore slag can be obtained. Moreover, there are rivers running through it all the way, so it can be transported by water, saving time and effort. In this way, production costs are naturally greatly reduced!"

"But where can the major vassal kings find such favorable geographical conditions? Therefore, the cost of the cement they produce must be much higher than ours. How can they compete with us?

The empress smiled:"Ai Qing is right, is there anything else?""

"Third, their market is not good! Lin

Beifan talked eloquently:"Cement is mainly used to build houses. Only when the houses are sold can we make money!" This house is considered a luxury item no matter how you say it, and only relatively wealthy people can afford a cement house! In other words, only when people are rich can they afford to buy a house!"

"However, look at the land in northern Hebei. After experiencing the horse bandits in the past, many people ran away and the economy was depressed. Who can the houses be sold to after they are built?"

"Look at the land south of the Yangtze River. Although it is relatively prosperous, there are floods and there is a big problem with food supply! Even the food problem has not been solved, how can we take care of housing?"

"The land of Wuxi, you don’t need to look at it at all! For a long time, King Wuxi used military force to rob everything he could! It's too late for businessmen to protect themselves, so how can they dare to do business?"

"As for other places, the market is too small to support it at all! Businessmen want to make money, who will do the unprofitable business?"

"Only our court can support the huge cement market!"

"The capital is right next to it, where the richest people in the country gather! Once you have money, you are most willing to spend money on a house. Selling cement will not be a problem at all!"

"Moreover, for more than a year, the territory ruled by our imperial court has been in good weather, with no wars and chaos. The people are recuperating and have enough money on hand, so they are naturally willing to spend money on houses!

Lin Beifan opened his arms and said excitedly:"This is the greatest advantage of our court!" We have the broadest market, they don’t! The empress clapped her hands and applauded:"

Well said!" That’s absolutely right!"
