The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 281 Give you business
When it came to the morning court the next day, Lin Hai was not lazy and got up early to go to the court.

Today we will definitely discuss the alliance between Tibet and Qin.

Lin Hai absolutely cannot agree.

As the commander-in-chief, Yuhuashi also needs to attend the morning court.

He stood behind Lin Tiangui, and the two quietly discussed military training.

Lin Tiangui was experienced and provided many military information.

As soon as Lin Hai came in, several people from the aristocratic family took the initiative to chat with him very enthusiastically.

"Master Lin usually doesn't come to attend the morning court. Is there any big event today?" Chen Deyong asked doubtfully.

Yugan also came over and wanted to find out the specific situation.

"No! I didn't attend the morning court in the past because I was too busy, so I had to take leave first."

"I have nothing to do today, of course I have to come to court!"

Lin Hai pretended not to know anything.

Chen Deyong was filled with slander.

Everyone knows Lin Hai's virtues clearly.

Relying on the favor of the Queen Mother, she made various excuses not to come to court.

Since there must be something big going on in court.

But this cannot be said clearly.

"That's a coincidence. I have something I want to discuss with Mr. Lin!"

Since Lin Hai was unwilling to say anything, Chen Deyong stopped asking further.
Lead directly to your own topic.

"What does Mr. Chen want from me?" Lin Hai asked in confusion.

"It's like this. The last time I asked my Chen family to repair the canal, it has almost been completed. Is there anything else on Mr. Lin's side that our family can help with?"

The business that Chen Deyong took was extremely profitable.

The more I look at Lin Hai recently, the more pleasing I am to my eyes.

"I really have something to ask Mr. Chen for help with."

Chen Deyong's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Oh? What's the matter? Master Lin, just tell me."

"I remember you seem to have an iron mine. I just need some iron. The quality doesn't need to be too good, as long as it can be used!"

Lin Hai doesn't need good iron to make grenades. They are disposable anyway, and their biggest advantage is their cheapness.

Unexpectedly, Chen Deyong's face was full of disappointment after hearing this.

"What's wrong? Does Mr. Chen not want to do my business?"

Chen Deyong smiled bitterly and said: "This iron mine is not unique to our Chen family, but is shared by the five major families.

But the iron produced by the iron ore is too poor. I don't know why it is very brittle, and even ordinary tools cannot be used.

The craftsman said there were too many impurities in it and it was useless.

Although this iron mine is not small, it is the first time I have seen such poor iron.

It can't be sold and has been closed down. "

Lin Hai was very happy after hearing this.

The sulfur content is probably too high, making it too brittle.

The ancient forging technology was too backward and they didn't know how to refine it.

Lin Hai smiled and said: "Others can't use it, but I can use it."

He whispered: "To tell you the truth, I invented a new weapon that requires a lot of iron like this.

And will persuade the Queen Mother to purchase large quantities of weapons through the court.

Therefore, the annual dosage will be quite large in the future. "

"Are you sure about this? You're not trying to trick me on purpose, are you?"

Chen Deyong couldn't believe it.

Weapons are made of fine iron, the stronger and sharper they are.

Lin Hai specially found a mine for the imperial court and presented the craftsmanship of fine iron, and then he changed his title.

What can you do with brittle iron?
If it breaks after just one use, doesn't it mean that the soldiers will die?
"That's what I'm saying. No matter how courageous I am, I don't dare to deceive you, Master Chen. I asked someone specifically to find out. Only your family has such an iron mine in the entire Great Xia."

Lin Hai said seriously.

Not only Chen Deyong, but also Yu Qian also had a strong interest.

In ancient times, the salt and iron business was the most profitable.

If that abandoned iron mine could make money, then they would really make a fortune.

"How much can be used?" Yugan asked quickly.

"I dare not say if it is too much. In the early stage, 10,000+ kilograms per year is no problem. In the future, more may be used, depending on the specific situation!" Lin Hai said. "That's great. I guarantee we can supply it to you. As for the price, it's easy to tell!"

Yugan was very excited.

For such a big business, the imperial court came to purchase it.

Each of them can make a lot of money.

"Can you tell me what kind of weapons you want to make with such iron? If it's to harm the army, that won't work."

Chen Deyong thought more.

He was afraid that in order to make money, Lin Hai would deliberately purchase such iron at a low price and pass it off as good quality.

Lin Hai's expression turned cold: "Master Chen, what does this mean? Could it be that I, Lin Hai, would do such a despicable thing just for money?"

"Don't worry, everyone may betray Daxia, but I, Lin Hai, will not!"

"I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."

"To tell you the truth, once this weapon is made, it can easily defeat the Turks."

"So don't worry, you must use this kind of iron, not to save money."

"So that's the case, then I can rest assured!"

Several other families heard about this and became very enthusiastic about Lin Hai.

Except Lin Hai took care of the children of his family during his tenure.

There has been no conflict between the two parties so far.

At the beginning, he was very angry and even wanted to deal with Lin Hai.

But they soon discovered that after being disciplined by Lin Hai, the family disciples rarely caused trouble.

And the two sides soon began to cooperate in interests.

Naturally, he would no longer be hostile to Lin Hai.

Now they are turning their abandoned iron mines into treasures and earning huge profits.

He even planned to treat Lin Hai as one of his own.

In addition, Lin Hai and Yuhua Shi had a very good relationship, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

Between the words, it has become very cordial.

Lin Hai asked them to refine a batch of crude iron as quickly as possible and send it over.

The price is not low, and it's cash.

It makes them even more motivated.

While we were talking, it was time to go to court.

Gong Yanwu told the story of the Tubo envoy.

Then he asked: "Tubo asks for an alliance with the Qin Dynasty. What do you think of it, dear ministers?"

"I agree to form an alliance. If Tubo is no longer my enemy to Daxia, there will be fewer battles." The prime minister was the first to stand up and support.

He didn't mean well for the imperial court.

In the past, you could earn a lot of profits from fighting.

But the situation is different now.

Since Lin Hai used his own caravan to help transport food, they could no longer quote more prices.

Moreover, fighting consumes too much money and can easily lead to an empty national treasury.

Naturally, he won't do anything that doesn't benefit him.

It is better to cease the war as much as possible and then use the money to do other things, so that you can take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

When other ministers saw the prime minister's words, they immediately followed suit.

Gong Yanwu looked at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai understood it in his heart, walked forward and said, "I have my own notes!"

"But it doesn't matter!"

"I think it's okay to form an alliance, but absolutely not a marriage. And the condition for the alliance is that Tibet will become a vassal to me, Daxia, and pay tribute every year!"

When this statement came out, everyone was lost.

This is too whimsical.

The initiative whether to fight or not has always been in the hands of a few enemy countries.

If they were angered, just looting at the border would be enough to give Da Xia a headache.

Without sufficient strength, how could Tubo become its vassal?
