None of the tortured people planned to live for a thousand years, so naturally they didn't expect to be cured, so everyone recruited. At that time, if you put a knife to death for everyone to choose, you would 100% choose to die.

But in the blink of an eye, this became an amiable boss again, and he spoke a friendly one, and he was not polite or rude.

People only talk about work, and there are no high requirements, and the imperial court stipulates how much mining fees should be paid, and when the time comes, it will be passed. If you catch up with a natural disaster or something, say in advance that even the mining class can be reduced or exempted as appropriate, benevolence and righteousness!

In addition, this Wang Jian does not collect money, not a penny. A chair used in the military tent was specially placed at the door, and whoever plans to give a gift can sit on it and bring three pots of water, and Jinshan can receive it!

But for what? No one knows, one does not seek fame, two does not seek wealth, three does not seek officials, and almost all the officials of Jingzhao Mansion have been offended, so something has to be done, right?

This question is not only pondered by outsiders, but also by Zhou Quangui's father and daughter. has no relatives and no reason, why does this Wang Jian Si hand over the five largest iron mines to the Zhou family to take care of?

Originally, Zhou Quangui thought that Lord Wang had taken a fancy to his daughter, but after a few tests, Lord Wang didn't say anything, and his daughter quit first.

I told my father on Monday and Sunday, don't ask this kind of question again, otherwise Mrs. Lian will eat herself first, and then beat the Zhou family back to its original form!

This time, Zhou Quangui had no tricks, so he could only muster up the courage to come to Lord Wang to solve his doubts in person. If this matter is not clarified, he will not dare to take over these iron mines.

"A million pounds of iron ore a month! Don't be nervous, it's not your family, it's all the iron mines around Jingzhao Mansion. You should report the number yourself, how many classes can you take? Hong Tao smiled after hearing this, and stretched out a finger.

He not only said these words to the Zhou family, but also almost every miner, mine supervisor, and mine supervisor. Iron ore, coal-based, lead and tin are also easy to do, gold, silver and copper are not taken at all, and the class is as much as it should be.

And from today onwards, all mines are not allowed to smelt iron ore without permission, and those with furnaces will be dismantled immediately, and after ten years, the division will send people to inspect the mines, not to mention the iron-making furnaces, as long as the traces are not cleaned up, then arrest people and come back to water, the minimum consumption is three pots!

If the miners are not allowed to make their own iron, what do they rely on to make money? Mining is sold to Tidian Division without much oil and water, it is all hard money, and it is the main thing to make all kinds of iron tools after making iron.

The king also said that he would not let you make iron because you were too stupid to make good iron, and wasted a lot of ore and charcoal. When I opened my eyes and looked at the mountains near Jingzhao Mansion, the woods were about to be cut down, and I didn't know that if I converged, I would leave a disaster for my descendants.

In order that you will not pit your children and grandchildren, Lord Ben will be kind enough to make iron for you, and you will not use charcoal but charcoal. What the? You say that coal can't make good iron, that's you, and this official can. Don't believe it? Whoever loses will work for the other party's family for a month!

Iron has been smelted, how can the miners live?

Wang Jian Si also said that this official is the fairest, you take ore in exchange for good iron, two catties of ore and one or two good iron. Of course, this refers to the high-quality ores, and the inferior ones have to be lowered.

As for how much good iron can be exchanged for what kind of ore can be exchanged for, don't worry, the department will print these systems into a book, and each family will send a few copies and take them back to think about it slowly.

In this way, the miners have a bottom in their hearts, and after looking at the iron ingots on the desk of Wang Jian Si, their steps immediately became faster.

Hurry back to the mine and hire someone to dig it, it's really good iron, and it can't be better. No one can say exactly how good it is, because I have never seen such a good iron since I was a child!

Holding it up under the sun and staring at the rounded eyes, you can't find the slightest impurity, let alone honeycombs, cracks or whatever, all of them are square iron ingots, full of pounds and two.

If this is taken back to be forged into iron tools and farm tools to be sold, the miners in the neighboring states and counties will wait to drink cold water. Whether it is in terms of cost or quality, it is too far from the good iron from Weiqiao Town, and anyone can calculate this account.

"Am I giving too much?" Looking at the miners who came tremblingly and happily left, the problem of Hong Tao's chicken thieves was committed again. He felt that three catties of rich ore for one or two good iron, these miners should be able to accept it.

"Adults make iron like digging into a bag, and it is reasonable to be sympathetic to miners. Although there is a little more good iron, you can recruit iron-making experts from the mine, and the villain feels that it is not a loss at all! ”

Hearing that the horse had a tendency to repent, Wu Si hurriedly picked a good one to say, and said that it would not be possible if it was slow. This colt is really not an ordinary person, and he has no face at all.

"Really? If your peers hear these words, they don't know how to thank you. It is said that peers are enemies, no matter what, one or two is one or two! But the iron-smelting master you want is here, and you can't expect my lord and me to help teach, and if you don't learn for a day, you won't be paid for a day! ”

Of course, Hong Tao can't admit that he is too a chicken thief, the leader must be right, and if there is a mistake, he is also subordinate. Now he is getting more and more proficient in this set of things, and he is getting more and more used to it.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Wu Si said, what Weiqiao Town lacks now is not good iron but manpower, especially those who understand technology. As long as there are enough skilled craftsmen to keep the blast furnace running day and night, good iron will be as worthless as the sand on a river beach. At that time, except for a large number of copper mines to collect bile copper, there is no use for fart.

The real value is still good steel, but this open-hearth furnace is not able to continue to produce steel, because even he himself and the craftsmen can not figure out the pH of the ore, can only rely on Meng, when can rely on experience to judge the roughly stable steel rate, but also rely on the craftsmen themselves to explore the experience, Hong Tao really can't help much in this regard.

Because when he was working on open-hearth steel in the Jinhe Empire, he didn't pay special attention to these technical details, that thing was too hard to learn, and he needed to stay by the furnace to keep an eye on the changes of the molten iron, which was unnecessary for a mouth dealer.

However, as long as the relationship between ore, fuel, oxidizer and furnace can be roughly summarized, and alkaline furnace and acid furnace can be distinguished, the output of good steel will be close to pig iron, and theoretically even all molten iron can be converted into steel, as long as the number of open-hearth furnaces is sufficient.

Therefore, one pound of rich ore for two taels of good iron will not be lost, as long as the quantity and quality of raw materials can be guaranteed, ten times or even dozens of times the profit can be earned back in minutes.

It is said that autumn is October, but in fact, in ancient times, October was already early winter. As soon as Qiu Laohu left, Hong Tao immediately took off his shorts and shorts and put on his dog-like official uniform again.

There are two other things that blow along with the cold breeze, one cold and one hot, which can be regarded as positive and negative. What is cold is the reprimand of the imperial court, which probably means that the captain of the horse does not want to come nonsense, and he is killing people and raiding his family, which has exceeded his authority.

Concentrate on your work, and the rest is not under your control, and it is not mixed with it. This time, the merits and demerits are offset, there are no rewards and no punishments, and there is no example. The emperor also annotated two words at the end: Huangzhou!
