Chapter 152 Tin Slag
Guifang took his innocent subordinates and went straight to the tin factory to do preliminary work.Cheng Jinzhou and Shen Cong followed leisurely with their followers.

It was the first time that he used his father's name outside the capital, and when he knew the law and broke the law, Shen Cong became inexplicably nervous. As he got closer to the tin factory, he became more and more nervous. He would tighten his crotch while riding a horse.

After walking for a while, Shen Cong couldn't help but asked Cheng Jinzhou: "What if the other party disagrees? We don't know the person in the warehouse at all. We should wait for a while, take your time, don't be so anxious , got caught, but it's troublesome..."

"Time is tight." Cheng Jinzhou also likes to deal with problems slowly, but customer service 010 is obviously not such a person.And in his opinion, getting caught is only a matter of time. If you don't get more resources while no one is stopping you, it will be too late to regret it.

Of course, he couldn't say such things to Shen Cong and Gui Fang. Although they had expected it, they would probably think that the star warlock had other ways to deal with it, but they never thought that Cheng Jinzhou was going to fight to the death from the beginning——to the two-star warlock Basically, it's a way.

Shen Cong scratched his head and squirmed on his horse, saying: "Twenty thousand kilograms of tin ingots are only worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Maybe we should choose the ones from Yizhou. Even if the silk cannot be sold for a while, it is money if it is kept in the treasury."

Daxia is in the parallel period of land rent in kind and currency. Silk itself actually exists as currency. Compared with the Jiaozi issued in ancient China, besides being used to pay taxes, it can at least be exchanged for clothes. One more layer of functionality.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't hide it from him, and said: "As I said, I'm mainly interested in tin ore, or their waste. So, if we find each other and take away the waste, this trip will be over. If it goes well , it would be best to get some tin ingots away. It's easy."

Shen Cong was actually a stress reaction, muttered twice, and clamped the horse's belly fiercely with his thigh.He is still a young man on the road of learning how to be a normal civil servant.

……

Compared with Tong County, Fuyang is more prosperous, and the places near the river are all wheat fields that have begun to sprout.

The tin factory is also located closer to the river, but within ten miles or so, the trees have been completely cut down.The hot sun was shining directly, making people think it was summer.

From a long distance, you can see the gray smoke rising from the indigenous tin smelting method. Before the development of modern technology, tin smelting required a lot of charcoal.For every 800 catties of ore, 500 catties of charcoal will be used.Coupled with the seven or eight times of elutriation before turning the ore into ore sand, it is basically the main cost.

Customer service 010 popped out of nowhere and said, "What a waste."

"Tin mine or wood?" Cheng Jinzhou said as usual.

"All of them. Hurry up and send the things over, you still have 1300 million star dollars to buy books and upgrade."

"Assuming that each book is 1 words." Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows, and said casually: "I really don't know why you are so anxious to ask me to upgrade. Star Alliance level 3 will satisfy me."

Naturally, this is another question with no answer.

Customer service 010 didn't even know how to answer. He laughed for some reason and said, "Let's wait until you can save enough money to discuss the word count issue."

Cheng Jinzhou retorted, but saw Gui Fang rushing out from the hill in front of her in a panic.

Before anyone arrived, Gui Fang yelled loudly: "That old man Du Shunzhi."

Needless to say, the gentlemen of Fuyang Tin Factory are obviously not as cooperative as expected?
In fact, under the premise that they hardly knew each other, Cheng Jinzhou and others rushed forward with their ugly mouths open, and no one would cooperate with them.

Shen Cong sorted out his mood, stopped Guifang and asked, "What's going on? Du Shunzhi is Fuyang's warehouse manager?"

"He's still a seventh-rank official, but his head is as stiff as an ore. No wonder he was kicked here." Guifang complained a few times, took a few breaths, and then calmly said: "After I went, I didn't say a word. Just a few words, he was kicked out, that guy has a white beard, and he is about to step down soon, and he doesn't want to say anything."

"That's something that can't be helped." Hearing what he said, Cheng Jinzhou simply stopped and said, "Then do you know where they left the waste?"

For him, the slag is the big one, and the others are just incidental.

"It's everywhere." Gui Fang said angrily, "I asked them seriously, and the people they dealt with changed a few times, only this old boy didn't die."

The powers of the Hubu Cangsi are also different. In Huangjin County, it is a fat job. The position is not high but it is close to the capital, and the status is important, which is much better than working hard in the ministry.As for Fuyang, it would be fine if it was a granary or something like that. Guarding the tin mine was obviously a distribution. In an environment like the Xia Dynasty, the miners were discriminated against, and the miners' leaders were also discriminated against.Du Shunzhi, a seventh-rank official who is about to resign, has a bit of a desireless and strong taste.

"Are they unrecorded for throwing away waste?"

Gui Fang shook her head and said, "No."

I was also a little ashamed while speaking, after all, it was the first county town that was pulled out to do things.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his eyebrows. The development of the matter was quite different from what he expected.

Shen Cong relaxed, walked closer and said, "With the other party's attitude, we probably won't be able to take the tin ingots away."

"It looks like you don't want to get in. You dare to be perfunctory about the matter of the astromancer." Gui Fang continued to apply eye drops.

"This is the end of the matter, we won't go to the tin factory." Cheng Jinzhou thought for a moment, then took out a stack of flying tickets from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Si Mo and said, "Go and exchange these few thousand taels of silver into cash."

After finishing speaking, he said to Guifang and others: "In a while, you take the money, and then hire as many people as possible to find out the places where there are tin mine waste residues. After finishing this matter, it will be our The silver ingots of 3 taels of silver were removed."

The meaning in the words is naturally a promise to the 30%.

Shen Cong understood and said, "It's fine as long as you're satisfied. We'll find all the places, and then according to the distance, you can directly change the things away."

He didn't understand astrology, but took Cheng Jinzhou's moves for granted.

Guifang smiled when she understood. A few thousand taels of silver was quite a reward for him.For an ordinary Beijing official, the gray income for 10 years is only so much.Not to mention that they achieved it in a few days.

……

The amount of waste is far more than Cheng Jinzhou imagined, just like the number of civil servants. When you think you have seen the limit, it will always be just the tip of the iceberg.

Of course, the situation is more complicated than he imagined.

In the metal refining campus, the tin mine is like a coquettish little girl who lacks paternal love. She has uninterrupted relationships with every active or inactive metal, and sometimes has relationships with several metals at the same time. , it will not reject young people from other schools...

Few refineries can do a perfect job of dealing with such mixed metals.Their work is like finding a father for a baby in a biological laboratory. It requires many layers of processes and a lot of labor.The refinery in Fuyang is no exception. They smelt tin with the indigenous blast furnace method. First, the tin ore is washed into ore sand, and then the ore sand is placed in a charcoal-fired furnace, and finally the solidified tin liquid is collected in the furnace pool.

The result of this is that the waste residue of the ore is often mixed with the waste residue of the charcoal.

At the location of the first mine pit, customer service 010 said without the slightest shame: "Either you find someone to separate the ore, or the purchase price will be reduced by half."

"Maybe someone will buy charcoal slag?" Cheng Jinzhou held a glimmer of hope.

"There will be a transportation fee." Customer service 010 said coldly: "The price I quoted to you is all without the transportation fee. If you want to pay the transportation fee, I don't mind sending the garbage to places that might want it .”

"How tall is it?"

"How about 2000 star dollars per ton?"

"200 times the price of food?"

"For special supplies, this is the case."

Although Cheng Jinzhou was unwilling to cut his income in half, the hill-like pile of waste left him with little choice.

He looked up at the 30-meter-high waste mountain, and said, "Take it."

While speaking, the area of ​​three to five square meters in front of him instantly became blank, and then a few square meters of charcoal slag piled up behind him.

"200 star yuan, move forward." The voice of customer service 010 was very mechanical.

Walking a few steps forward, another three to five square meters of ruins disappeared, and several square meters of charcoal slag and other garbage piled up behind him again.

Cheng Jinzhou walked forward like this, while being careful not to collapse the waste residue mountain, and at the same time leaving a lot of rubbish behind him. He was like a giant waste wood earthworm, eating rubbish and excreting rubbish.

Guifang's people had been driven far away. Meng Dameng Er was guarding a position about 200 meters away, and further away was Shi Mo and a few followers.Although everyone can't see what Cheng Jinzhou is doing, they can see the shrinking mountain of garbage.

After a while, Cheng Jinzhou came back refreshed and said loudly to Guifang, "Next place."

The Master Registrar left without asking a single word.

He didn't know what spells the astromancers had, and he didn't really want to know.If there is anything to care about, the only thing is the official position.

People who are accustomed to being slaves can easily become complete bureaucrats once they have power - exactly the type that politicians like most.

Cheng Jinzhou rode his horse with a smile on his face, starting from the north of Fuyang and sweeping away all the way.

A 30-meter-high hill can bring tens of thousands of star dollars in income, and the amount of slag left over from Fuyang over the past few decades not only makes him excited, but also makes customer service 010 less strange.

If half of the "sorting fee" was not removed, it would not seem so difficult to achieve 1400 million.

Cheng Jinzhou even had the leisure to joke with customer service 010: "If you had told me this secret earlier, let alone tin slag, we could try it on iron slag, coal slag, and brick kiln slag."

"Only the waste of tin mines has the same value as tin mines."

Cheng Jinzhou looked at the rising numbers on the ring and was still smiling from ear to ear. 320 million stars was an unimaginable amount of wealth half a year ago.
