The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 80
Lin Hai analyzed the situation carefully for them, and then several people suddenly realized.

"If it goes as you said, it can be done!" Shitou said.

"You should go back and make arrangements quickly. These people must not only live separately, but also in separate courtyards. Try not to come into contact with other people.

If they go home, someone must follow them.

If they are willing to accept our guarding, then let them stay!

If they can't accept it, transfer them from their posts to work elsewhere! "

"I know, get ready right away!" Wang Dayong also knew the seriousness of the matter.

If the method of making fine iron is leaked, the enemy army will also have such powerful armor-piercing arrows.

It will definitely lead to heavy losses for Daxia's army.

Lin Hai designed these workshops outside the village from the beginning.

It is planned to have the entire iron-making place surrounded by walls.

No outsiders are allowed inside.

Originally this was a big expense, but now it can produce refined iron.

This kind of high-quality iron has a high price, and some of it can be sold.

This money is enough to build a strong bunker.

Of course, Lin Hai couldn't send people out to sell it by himself, because salt and iron were exclusively owned by the imperial court.

It must be sold through the hands of the imperial court for money.

Otherwise, he will be reported by his opponent one day.

You can't just walk away with such a big crime.

Lin Hai asked people to load the iron ingots on a carriage and take it to the county government.

He wrote a letter to Zhang Xuelong and asked him to sell these iron ingots as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it will affect the ironmaking progress.

And the accounts should be kept well in case the court sends someone to check the accounts.

Of course Zhang Xuelong knew that this was no small matter.

If he does it well, he can also make meritorious deeds, but if he doesn't do it well, it is a serious crime of beheading.

He didn't dare to be greedy for money in this matter.

Quickly notify your subordinates to find powerful businessmen.

I saw that the standard-shaped iron ingots that had been delivered had already piled up in the county government office.

"Good iron, really good iron! In my opinion, this kind of iron is better than the iron used to make knives in the blacksmith shop.

I really don’t know how they made it. "

Zhang Xuelong was extremely emotional.

If you can refine such good iron for the imperial court, you will probably be rewarded soon.

Maybe the reward official is higher than him.

Zhang Xuelong was extremely envious.

But I know very clearly how capable I am.

He can only follow Lin Hai, maybe he will be promoted if he can make contributions.

Soon several wealthy businessmen came to the scene.

After seeing Zhang Xuelong, they saluted together.

"Why did the magistrate call us here?"

one businessman asked.

"You are all in business, and you all sell iron! How about taking a look at this iron?"

Several businessmen walked forward after hearing this, and after just one glance, they showed extremely shocked expressions.

"These are all fine iron! Where did the magistrate get it?"

"You don't have to worry about where I got it from! Just tell me whether you are willing to buy it and what price you can give it!" Zhang Xuelong said lightly.

"Of course we are willing to take such good iron! As much as you want! But there is one thing we must ask clearly in advance."

"Just ask me anything, and I will tell you what I can tell you!"

"We have been in business for many years and have specialized in selling fine iron. But this kind of iron is of better quality than the fine iron we have seen before. Such good iron should be controlled by the imperial court, and it is generally impossible for it to be lost among the people.

If these railways come from improper sources, we would not dare to buy them!

Once they are held accountable by the higher authorities.This is a serious crime of decapitation! "

Zhang Xuelong was immediately infuriated after hearing this, and did not believe himself at all after hearing what they said.

You businessmen are afraid of beheading, why don't I, a magistrate, be afraid?

Of course, I only dared to do this after getting the imperial court's order.

Of course, Zhang Xuelong also had some doubts that high-quality products of this quality could be produced in his county.

I'm afraid the court may not know either.

Otherwise, all the fine iron will definitely be taken back, and it will not be easily lost among the people.

Because the weapons that can be made from this iron are far beyond ordinary swords.

Once someone rebels and does bad things, the consequences will be extremely serious.

If it falls into the hands of rebels, the consequences will be disastrous.

But he had also seen the imperial edict from the imperial court, which allowed Lin Hai to take out some of the iron.

Used as mining expenses.

Since there is already an imperial edict from the imperial court, there will be no blame for anything that happens.

"Who told you that these officials must have bad origins? Of course, this matter is approved by the imperial court, and every kilogram of iron sold must be accounted for.

Since I have brought you here, feel free to buy.

Of course, there are ugly things to say first. Such good iron is absolutely not allowed to be sold to the enemy.

Can only be sold domestically in the building! "

Zhang Xuelong was very majestic and glanced at the several businessmen.

After listening to Zhang Xuelong's words, several businessmen were extremely surprised.

Such good iron can definitely be sold at a good price, and it will be particularly popular.

It would be too wasteful to even use it to craft farm tools.

When used to forge swords, the price can be doubled several times.

"My Lord County Magistrate, please calm down, we are also thinking about safety! Since the Lord Magistrate has said so, we will accept all these irons.

If there are more in the future, you can have as many as you want, price is not an issue! "

"Since you all say that this is fine iron, the price cannot be lowered. Please quote a price first. As long as the price is right, we will pay and deliver the goods."

"Sir, please wait a moment, let us sum it up!"

Zhang Xuelong waved to them and said, "You go ahead, but I'm going to say something ugly first! If you want to lower the price collectively, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Of course, we don't dare to play tricks with the county magistrate. We will definitely give you a satisfactory price!"

Several businessmen discussed it and originally wanted to lower the price, but the county magistrate was not easy to fool.

If there is such a good business in the future, they want to continue doing it.

Think carefully and decide on a reasonable price.

After the discussion, I found Zhang Xuelong.

"We have discussed it and will buy all the refined iron at the market price."

Zhang Xuelong shook his head.

"You have said it yourself just now that the quality of these fine irons is much better than ordinary fine irons. It is impossible to sell them to you at the same price."

"Then how much does the magistrate want to sell it for?"

Zhang Xuelong stretched out a finger.

Several businessmen looked confused.

"One tael of silver and one pound of iron!"

"Ah? This is too expensive! Even if it is fine iron, it will cost us a lot of money just to transport it. We have to make some money!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't want it. I can find other merchants! I think someone will be willing to buy it at this price."

"Send guests off!" Zhang Xuelong didn't bother to talk nonsense to them, he got up and left.
