Iron Dynasty

It's winter, it's getting dark early, and it's just the equivalent of eight o'clock in modern times.

For Xiao Ming, who didn't go to bed at twelve o'clock before, this time was just a time for recreation. He kept his pro-money and wealthy people for the sake of the mine.

The construction of the fief needs several parallel, industrial base, agricultural base, minerals and chemistry are indispensable, after all, these things complement each other.

Especially chemistry and industry, these two especially cannot pull each other back, otherwise some industrial progress will not be realized.

His Royal Highness means to let the old slave go to find the mine in person? Qian Dafu said.

Xiao Ming nodded, Yes, the mines in the fief are not controlled by the Wang family, but the mines mined by the Wang family are only coal and iron. Now I need to ask you to find a variety of minerals. Once found, let the government pay for it. Let the government-operated mines firmly control the mines in our hands.”

Xiao Ming's words of remorse just now were only superficial, and now it's true. Qian Dafu said, Your Highness, this old slave will definitely not disappoint His Highness.

Xiao Ming nodded, What I told you tonight, you must keep it secret and not tell anyone in advance.

Qian Dafu nodded.

Xiao Ming's thoughts moved slightly, and the huge technology library of technology spar came to mind again, and the geographical location of each mineral in this area appeared precisely.

At the same time, prospecting methods for each ore emerged.

Holding a pen, he explained to Qian Dafu and drew a picture with a writing brush, marking down the geographical location of the entire Shandong region and the location of the mines.

Although this is an approximate location, there is still hope as long as you look for it patiently.

Qian Dafu listened carefully. When Xiao Ming spoke, it seemed that a clear map appeared in his mind.

At the same time, the color of each ore and the characteristics near the ore seemed to have a picture generated in his mind.

Xiao Mingjiang, Qian Dafu listened, this candle was burned out and replaced.

The two didn't stop until the next day, when Wang Shijie's palace begged to see him.

Da Fu, how do you remember now? Xiao Ming said.

Qian Dafu seemed to be still in a trance state, Your Highness, this old slave has never felt that learning is so fast.

Xiao Ming nodded, Since that's the case, let's put this ore prospecting on the agenda. If you don't know how, ask me again.

After all, Xiao Ming went to the front hall, and Wang Shijie was still waiting for him.

Qian Dafu looked at Xiao Ming and scratched his head, showing a puzzled look, Strange, how does His Highness understand these things? Hey, who cares, as long as our Highness goes up.

In the front hall, Wang Shijie was sitting on the mahogany chair of His Royal Highness.

As if he had hemorrhoids, Wang Shijie's body twisted uncomfortably.

His father's suggestion last night made him suddenly realize, and he saw an opportunity to make the Wang family a fortune in front of him.

Brother Wang, why did you come so early? Xiao Ming yawned, he was sleepy now.

Wang Shijie smiled and said, Your Highness is so tired, did something good happen last night?

Hey, you can know it in your heart. Xiao Ming didn't deny it, he deliberately played sloppy eyes, and then he asked, Why is Brother Wang alone here today?

Wang Shijie cupped his hands and said: His Royal Highness, I came so early, I actually have something to ask Your Highness.

Hey, I don't dare to ask for words. Brother Wang, just say it bluntly. Xiao Ming glanced at Wang Shijie and saw a trace of anxiety in his eyes. It seemed that what he asked for was very important to him.

Looking left and right, seeing no one around, Wang Shijie said, Your Highness, what my idiot asks for is His Highness's method of making briquettes.

Xiao Ming's expression became serious, Brother Wang, don't think this briquettes are very novel, but the briquettes are the most important thing. You are now asking for the method of briquettes, right...

Wang Shijie smiled and said, Don't worry, Your Highness.

At this time, he took out ten banknotes from his sleeves and handed them to Xiao Ming.

Brother Wang, what does this mean?

Xiao Ming deliberately pretended to be crazy and sold stupid. Wang Shijie showed disdain for the briquettes yesterday, but now he is so diligent. There is only one possibility, that is, Wang Chengchou saw the value of the briquettes.

After all, Wang Shijie's IQ can make fun of Xiao Ming before.

His Royal Highness, this is the silver tael for the acquisition of the method of making briquettes. My father said that, in addition to this silver note, 40% of the profits of the briquettes in the future will also be yours.

Xiao Ming rubbed the bank notes, there were ten bank notes of 500 taels, a total of 5,000 taels.

These 5,000 taels of silver are enough to buy horses and equipment for ten cavalrymen, so it's not that Xiao Ming doesn't know the importance of cavalry, but the financial resources of the fief can't afford it, and this does not include cavalry squires, maintenance, equipment Maintenance costs.

This... Xiao Ming's brows furrowed, it was impossible to make him let go so easily.

This business generally likes throwing stones to ask for directions. He believes that this is just a stone thrown by the Wang family, and jade is still behind.

Wang Shijie carefully observed Xiao Ming's expression. Seeing that Xiao Ming seemed to be hesitant, he sneered at this time, Your Highness, Yudi almost forgot, there is more here.

As he spoke, he also took out ten silver notes from the other cuff, another five thousand taels.

It's really a local tyrant. Xiao Ming secretly said, it seems that Wang Chengchou has made a lot of money in the past five years.

For Xiao Ming, the method of making the briquettes is very simple, but it is actually a problem with the mold.

This mold and equipment company has already been manufactured, and he is waiting for the Wang family to send him money.

What he really cares about is the establishment of the industrial base.

As for why he was confident that the Wang family would send money instead of imitating it, it was very simple.

But who made him the prince? If he was really acting out because of this, it would be enough for the Wang family to drink a pot.

It's just that no one wants to break this balance now.

Since Brother Wang and the members are so kind, for the sake of our friendship for many years, I will resell you the manufacturing method of this briquettes. Xiao Ming said.

Thank you, Your Highness! Wang Shijie was overjoyed.

Xiao Ming also laughed. What he earned this time was only technology fees, which is equivalent to modern patent money. After this incident, he must bring this technology patent matter into government affairs management.

In this way, he only needs to sell patents to make a fortune in the future.

And the rest of the hard work is left to these businessmen, and he doesn't have so many manpower and energy to manage them.

Of course, he will still win the truly profitable business.

Both of them got what they wanted and chatted happily. At this time, there were several announcements from outside the palace gate. It seemed that the remaining three had arrived.

Xiao Ming's heart was overjoyed, and the silver giver was here!
