Zhuang Limin and Wang Shaoquan left, leaving only Gu Dengfeng.

"My lord, I think the shopkeeper Zhuang and the shopkeeper Wang have been more dedicated, from the site selection to the preliminary preparations, they have spent a lot of thought, and the investment is also very large, the shopkeeper Wang with a group of people is mainly in the recent survey of Yuguan Port, his idea is to completely open up the trade route of the south - Yuguan - Liaodong and North Korea, it is estimated that there are still some worries about the future iron production of Yongping,......

Gu Dengfeng's explanation was also expected.

Wang Shaoquan's group of Jin businessmen are still skeptical, although the investment in money and silver is not small, but more depends on the technology brought by Zhuang Ji's shareholding and Feng Ziying's future career prospects before they are willing to join, but if they just want to copy an iron smelting workshop like Foshan Zhuang Ji in Yongping Mansion, these Jin merchants think that they will not be able to catch up with Foshan in terms of profitability for a long time.

Very simply, just a market and transportation problem will greatly increase the cost, coal coking, coke ironmaking, whether the iron output and quality of this process can be as good as Feng Ziying described, even Zhuang Limin is not sure.

If the cost and quality of ironmaking are only slightly better than those in Foshan, then a problem of transportation and market channels will quickly pull the cost of such a great coal-iron manufacturing complex in Feng Ziying's mind to the same as that in Foshan and other places, or even higher.

So Wang Shaoquan and the others are still very keenly aware of this.

Since it has joined in, and the investment is so large, the eggs can't just be put in one basket, so Yuguan is the throat hub for the northland to enter Liaodong by land, only a few hundred miles away from the Jingshi City, and it is also an opportunity for the north to open the sea, so it is still promising as a material distribution center connecting the western Liaoxi corridor and the capital and the south.

In particular, if the iron production of Yongping Mansion can reach a certain level, this chess piece can be revitalized.

"Dengfeng, I know what you said, Wang Shaoquan They want to avoid risks, but they still lack confidence, and I am afraid that I am more optimistic about my future in the future." Feng Ziying smiled, "Zhuang Limin thinks that there is an order from my father Ji Liao in the next few years as a guarantee, so it can be regarded as betting on my adventure, and we are all thinking about it, but we can't hold this kind of thought, this iron-smelting workshop in Yongping must be built, and it will be better than they imagined, and ten times better!" ……”

"......, I know you don't know the bottom of your heart, but do you think I have such a great future, but I take such pains to do such a thing that costs people and money and may not be able to make much profit, is it worth it, is it cost-effective? I'm going to tell you, soon you'll find out that it's all worth it, more than anything! That's why I'm pulling you out and putting you in charge of this, and I'm going to be responsible for it all the time, because I don't feel comfortable with others,......"

"I have this confidence, climb to the top, do you have it?" Feng Ziying looked at Gu Dengfeng.

Gu Dengfeng's face flushed, Feng Ziying was so reassuring, the person who died as a confidant, what else could he say? got up and hugged his fists, "Don't worry, my lord, Dengfeng will definitely live up to the trust and handle this matter well!" ”

"Okay, it's still the same sentence, brainstorming, have the courage to try, don't be afraid of failure to spend silver, Zhuang Ji has silver, Jin Shang has silver, Haitong Yinzhuang has silver, all these efforts will be rewarded in the end, I am sure of this, because the example of the Xiyi people has proved this,......"

Finally sent the gang away.

It is said that it is a technical secret from the Xiyi people, but no one dares to believe it until the first molten iron comes out, and this worry and anxiety will continue until the moment the molten iron comes out.

Prior to this, these Jin businessmen would rather spend more energy to start the construction of the wharf on the side of Yuguan Port first.

Of course, for Feng Ziying, he is happy to see it, but it cannot affect the progress of coking and iron smelting.

The continuous running and talking about things made Feng Ziying a little tired.

Only now did he understand that in the case of extremely backward communication and transportation conditions, if he wants to do things well, he can only work hard.

It's just that time is too tight, my mind is too anxious, and I always want to do things well all at once, but I know that this is unrealistic, but I always want to be faster, so it is easier for people to be tired, tired and impatient.

Pick up the tea and take a sip to calm yourself down.

Feng Ziying didn't know that in the eyes of his colleagues and subordinates in the entire Yongping Mansion in the past half a month, there were already two reactions, one was that he thought that he was dedicated, and the other was that he was grandstanding and eager to do things.

But no matter what kind of it is, everyone still admires Feng Ziying's exuberant energy, so they went to Santunying to coordinate with Jizhen, and went to Funing non-stop, and then went to Yuguan, which is a trip of hundreds of miles, running back and forth, and the body almost has to be bumped and scattered.

According to the plan, Feng Ziying also plans to go to Changli and Leting to see the current situation of the Huimin Salt Farm near Pubo, but this time he still plans to go private.

Under the regulations of the Great Zhou, non-pro-people officials do not need to visit the states and counties to appease the people in person, and he, the same knowledge, does not have to run around, but only needs to wait for the governors of the states and counties, the same knowledge, and the county officials to come to see him and report the situation.

The scope of his work has been basically delineated, assisting Zhu Zhiren in handling various affairs in the government, but the focus is on the Qing army, coastal defense, public security, and tax and labor in addition to the field endowment.

Needless to say, the Qing army has no need to say that coastal defense and public security are a major problem, although Jizhen promised to cooperate and support, but this still needs an opportunity, and the tax and labor outside the talent is directly related to the retained income of the entire Yongping Mansion, and it is also where the expenses of Yongping Mansion in the next year are, in previous years, they were all poor, and Zhu Zhiren was the most attacked and criticized, and now Zhu Zhiren listened to Feng Ziying's "grand wish", and it was inevitable that some hopes were born.

There is a long way to go, it is impossible to achieve it overnight, Feng Ziying knows that she should calm down and slowly adapt to the rhythm of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

*******

East Study.

Emperor Yonglong's fair cheeks have shrunk a lot, but his eyes are still calm, and he has carefully read the folds on the desk one by one, but compared with the past, he has a little less spirit of signing and approving.

Looking at the piles of twists and turns, Emperor Yonglong also had a headache.

After an illness, his energy seemed to be a little weak all of a sudden, and he didn't think that at this time, Emperor Yonglong realized that he was not young, and this review alone made him feel tired every day.

Compared with his father, who is still in good health, it is said that he is still the boss who is still in good health, and a layer of gloom swells up in Emperor Yonglong's heart for no reason.

Fortunately, the situation in various places is not bad, there are not too many disturbing things, and the Liaodong side has also calmed down, and the Dongyu has not been able to take the Ula Department in one fell swoop, so he can only stop and endure for the time being, but Feng Tanglai's letter still said that the situation is not optimistic.

The Eastern Jurdes are still fighting hard, and because although the Ula Department has not been completely annihilated, its strength has been greatly reduced, and it is no longer able to restrain the penetration of the Jianzhou Jurchens into the East China Sea Jurchens to the north and east, which is a very dangerous signal.

couldn't help but stand up and open the map, Emperor Yonglong put on reading glasses from Xiyi, and carefully searched for the latest map on the map.

It is said that this is a map depicted in combination with the latest exploration of the northeast by the Liaodong side, and the northernmost and easternmost whale seas have been marked, but the Ministry of War also said that these can only be some rough maps, and the specific situation is not yet known.

Looking at the names of the scattered tribes in the north on the map, Emperor Yonglong also knew that it was the scattered East China Sea Jurchens, with a wide distribution area and a large population, but these East China Sea Jurchens, who were called savages by the Jurchens in the south, were fierce and fierce, and they were the best hunter warriors, and once they were annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchens, their strength would be longer.

It is no wonder that Feng Tang has always been obsessed with it, and asked Denglai to start exploring the route to the Jurchen coastal area of the East China Sea through Ezo as soon as possible, in order to be able to contact the Jurchen in the East China Sea through the sea route, and preemptively capture the Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea in the hands of the Great Zhou, so as to form a flanking attack on the Jianzhou Jurchen.

Even if the East China Sea Jurchen can't be used by the Great Zhou, as long as they can keep them from falling to the east, it can be regarded as a salary from the bottom of the kettle and helping themselves.

Denglai's side made Emperor Yonglong very dissatisfied, but he was helpless.

Wang Ziteng has been going all out to build the Denglai Army, and it was not until the beginning of the year that he began to give some profits to the Navy Fleet, resulting in the slow progress of the construction of the Navy Fleet, and the progress of the docks and shipyards is even slower.

Put down the map, and picked up a copy of the fold.

The household department and the long Lu Du transferred the salt envoy, and Emperor Yonglong frowned.

The father of the two Huai salt classes has no attitude so far, and he is not good to ask more, but the salt class in other places is the main part of the household, although the sea tax is levied, and the city is built, but the most stable is still the silver of the salt class, compared to the field endowment, the stability of the salt class is more reassuring.

Zheng Jizhi said that the Changlu salt class continued to decline, one is the insufficient output of the salt farm, and the other is the overflow of illegal salt, and requires the local government to strengthen the control of private salt, especially the Beizhi Prefecture and Liaodong, and criticizes the Metropolitan Procuratorate for its ineffective supervision of the salt class.

Frowning slightly, Emperor Yonglong wanted to write, but in the end he put down the pen, the cabinet opinion was very strict, and asked all localities to strictly investigate and deal with it, but this is not a matter of a year or two, there must be something hidden here, and I have to ask.

sighed, and was about to pick up another note, but heard footsteps outside the study, "Your Majesty, Jizhen is in an emergency." ”
