The coal and steel industry is the skeleton of industrial society, the only criterion for measuring the strength of civilization before electrification, all poetry and songs, all wise kings and virtuous ministers, all conspiracies and tricks, in the face of steel and coal, are vulnerable.

This is industrial production that consumes a lot of human resources, material resources, and financial resources, and even in the period of the Great Trust after the Industrial Revolution, no social entity has the ability to eat this piece of food alone, and it is all pulling helpers, pulling as many helpers as possible to come in and operate.

What's more, the era in which Zhang De is now living is a period of the rise of the feudal empire, and it is also an era when the power of the old aristocracy is gradually transitioning to a new type of scholar class.

"Fifty percent of the profits—"

Lao Zhang shouted, "Shi Gong, I might as well go home as a princess!" ”

"Zhang Gong's words are true!"

Shi Dazhong was immediately overjoyed.

"Hey, I'm just casually talking about how Shi Gong took it seriously." Lao Zhang coughed lightly, and then glanced at Shi Dazhong, "Shi Gong, you have been dismissed, how can you still be so loyal." ”

"The old slave is born as His Majesty's person, and death is His Majesty's ghost!"

Groove ...... Your ancestors are also Turkic, do you want to be so loyal?

"Cough, Shi Gong, that sky-high asking price, I also have to pay back on the spot. I know. As he spoke, Zhang De raised his eyebrows, "Sanchengli is still Sanchengli, but I can give Tianjia an extra small treasury." ”

Hearing Zhang De say this, Shi Dazhong also breathed a sigh of relief: "Alas, the emperor's order is difficult, Da Lang will talk about it first." Although I have been absent from the inner prison for a long time, but Your Majesty trusts me, dare not serve to die? ”

Right. You barbarian descendants have all been kicked in the head by donkeys. You are like this, and so is Li Simo. There is also a gang of party psychopaths, who formed a righteous group to shout and kill Fu Yun every day. Are you all mentally retarded? Damn, I'm really tired of dealing with you, and a few unfaithful people will die? Fifteen hundred years later, there are still people who eat inside and outside, why does this feudal dynasty still have such loyal figures?

"I am surveying in Youzhou, Jizhou, Pingzhou, and Xiaotonggong has already arranged it first. In short, it is about the junction of Jizhou and Pingzhou. Coal...... Uh, Shi Gong knows about this, right? ”

"I know, every household in the west of the city is using the coal furnace made by Poly Construction."

"Hedong charcoal farm, I can operate it first. When it is profitable, it will change hands to another prince. Who does the prince ask to come forward, I guess I don't need to give me any more advice, right? ”

"Hmm......"

Shi Dazhong thought for a while, "Dalang, there are many princes." ”

"I know!"

Lao Zhang was furious, old eunuch, you are so loyal, do your parents know?

Zhang De, who was trembling with anger, picked up the teacup and drank indiscriminately: "The big charcoal field is shared by all the princes, and this is a long-term career." Heating in autumn and winter, eating in spring and summer. It's better than a charcoal bento. ”

"Bento box, now in Chang'an City, every household ......"

"Okay, Shi Gong!" Lao Zhang stretched out his hand to stop Shi Dazhong from speaking, and when he thought of this, it was a meat bun beating a dog. He was uncomfortable, "The princes' mansions have pushed a few officials, but it's really not good." It can also be handed over to the East Palace. ”

"This ...... Not quite right? ”

"It's not good, it's money anyway. It's not right! Besides, who has more and who has less. His Majesty alone has the final say. The accountant can only check the accounts, what else? ”

"But ......"

"No, it's for free. If you don't say yes, forget it. ”

Zhang De squinted at Shi Dazhong.

The old eunuch smiled: "Don't be angry." ”

He comforted Zhang De, who was full of resentment, "Da Lang does things, others don't know, I still don't know?" It's just Da Lang, I have a question, Da Lang has to give an answer. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Da Lang wants to make steel?"

"Iron first, then steel."

"What is the unfair steel filling method compared to Qi?"

The Qi Wugong in the old eunuch's mouth is Qi Wuhuaiwen, the steel-filling method he invented, and it is because of him that the steelmaking level of the Central Plains can lead the world for a long time. It's a pity that after he initially solved several heat treatment methods, he hiccuped. As a result, there has been no substantial leap in smelting and casting technology.

In fact, for Zhang De, it is the safest for him to put the original coal and steel industrial body in the Hetao. After all, the quality of coal is the best, secondly, there are enough hydraulic resources, and again the iron ore is evenly distributed, and the difficulty of mining is not high.

However, a congenital deficiency made Zhang De give up treatment.

It's hard to do logistics.

At the same distance, from Chang'an to Suzhou, it is not accurate to walk for three months. But if you use an offshore sailboat, starting from the mouth of the Niangzi River or the mouth of the Zhanghe River, it will be three generations of shipwrights for twenty days.

Although Zhang De has no involvement in shipbuilding, what wooden sailing ships have to solve is nothing more than power and strength, and based on this, that is, pure mathematics and physical calculations. Don't dare to say anything else, he has hoarded so much wood, even if one ship after another is carried out, if he can't try a sailboat of twenty kilometers per hour, he will die.

At a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, the distance traveled in a single day is more than 200 kilometers.

Anyway, I didn't want to get the kind of cargo of a Spanish galleon as soon as I came up, and I got a flat-bottomed hard sailboat to run the offshore inland river without any pressure.

It really didn't work, he worked hard to get a few small cement boats out, which was not impossible.

However, there are not many coastal areas that can do this, and the northern basin of the Yellow River is the best place. Not only can it be a trade hub, but in the future, the Tang Dynasty will attack Goguryeo, and he will supply hundreds of thousands of weapons in one go, and he is afraid of Mao? When the time comes, as soon as Li Dong opens his mouth to bring a million arrows, he will not frown his brows, add a zero to give 10 million, and scare Li Dong!

"Tsk."

So hearing Shi Dazhong's question, Lao Zhang sighed, and then said, "It's about the same as Su Tiedao." ”

"Really?"

"It's more real than real gold."

"Good! Then I will go to the palace to return to the court. ”

With that, the old eunuch turned around and left.

Ouch, you're so loyal.

"Shi Gong wait, things, things I forgot to take." Zhang De walked out quickly, caught up with Shi Dazhong, who was walking like a fly, and took out a stack of China Resources Flying Tickets in his arms, "Shi Gong, why are you so careless, if this 10,000 tickets are picked up, Shi Gong will not lose a sum of money?" ”

Hearing Lao Zhang say this, Shi Dazhong smiled, and suddenly said: "Alas, the emperor's life is in his body, and the old man still has business." Thank you, Da Lang, farewell, stay, don't stay, there are people from the princess's mansion outside. ”

Lao Zhang was about to step out with one leg, but he trembled in fright, and quickly turned around and hid behind the gate. This place is a guest house on the outskirts of the west of the city, and it is the transfer compound of the China Resources in the west of the city, where mules, horses and vehicles are handed over.

"This dead eunuch ......" Zhang De was terrified, "It's good that Lao Tzu is clever, otherwise the old eunuch will definitely not tell me." What's so ...... It's horrible. ”

Wiping a handful of fine sweat on his forehead, Lao Zhang glanced through the crack in the door, and the market street had been formed outside, because there was a small river, and the imperial court also set up a Jinkou ambassador, which was controlled by Chang'an.

"......"

Lao Zhang looked out, there were two heroes outside, and they didn't look like masters at all, but these two people Zhang De knew, damn the Datang special forces in the camp, and they were not "flying horses", they were Li Dong's strongest top ten bodyguards "Ten Horses". If someone else saw these two men selling steamed buns without any bright spots, they would never have thought that they were masters.

However, because he often fights with Li Dong, the gold medal bodyguard next to Li Dong, Lao Zhang is really familiar.

"What's the matter, Uncle Tan is not here. If only I had invented a mobile phone first! ”

Zhang De leaned his back against the door, "This Nima must be a cousin!" (To be continued.) )
