Li Dayong said: "I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Zhang Dongzhu still looks so young, but if you look closely, in addition to being shrewd, there is also more awe-inspiring majesty, to be honest, we Lingqiu have Zhang Dongzhu as our backbone, it is really a blessing for us!" ”

Zhang Han glanced at Li Dayong, this proprietor still had some thoughts of his own last year, he once tried to win in chaos, but now he is wearing a big beard, and his eyes are flattering, this person has good skin, a loud voice and is not annoying, he is really a very likable character.

At that moment, Zhang Han smiled and said: "Li Dongzhu has won the award, if we negotiate today, Li Dongzhu will also be a big man who makes people feel awe-inspiring in the future." ”

Li Dayong's heart was very itchy when he heard this, he coughed, and said with a smile: "I hope it is as Zhang Dongzhu said." ”

Ma Huaxian said: "There is a Jingshi merchant named Li Guobin in the city who heard about our side of the matter, and he didn't leave for a while, waiting for news in the city. He is an expert who is sent out to handle goods from several big shops on Zhengyangmen South Street, and if we are here properly, the business route to Beijing will be opened at once. ”

Iron is also a hard currency, and it is as important as grain, cloth, and salt in general goods, and it is not like all kinds of paper, books, gold and silverware, nor rouge, water, vermicelli, silk, satin, pickles, vegetables and fruits.

In these years, except for some places in the southwest where stone tools such as stone hoes are used, the Han people use iron tools in their land boundaries to do farm work and daily use, and no one can do without iron.

How many farm tools can be shared, how to share kitchen knives?

No matter how frugal the people are, a few iron farm tools, kitchen utensils, and living utensils are inseparable from iron.

Here in Lingqiu, there are normally merchants from nearby cities who come to sell ironware, and further away are big businessmen from Jingshi and Baoding, Kaifeng, and Taiyuan, as well as merchants from Xi'an.

The market share of Jin Tie in the north is not low, and Lingqiu is an important production area of Jin Tie, so it is not surprising that there are a few people from large trading houses in Lingqiu City.

To put it bluntly, this Li Guobin is not necessarily a big businessman, but is likely to be a broker shared by some big commercial houses.

Zhang Han said: "Let's set our own purpose first, and the next thing is to deal with outsiders." ”

There are all kinds of dishes on the table, there are mountain vegetables and game, and the food is full of charming aroma, a few little babies smell the fragrance, and they are immediately driven away by the adults outside, and then Jiang Kui and others guard the door, so that the idle people cannot approach.

Of course, this is a noisy affair, but the people of Lingqiu know that Zhang Han's subordinates are powerful, and when they were in Lingqiu, several assassination attacks by Han Tong's subordinates were crushed, and everyone knows these things, and no one will think that Zhang Han's subordinates are making a show of Qiao.

Sun Anle said at this time: "We are the people who benefit, to put it bluntly, this matter is still made with Yusheng Iron Field, I will say a word from the heart, we have made a lot of profits from the previous iron-making method, this time there is this two-room furnace method, Zhang Dongzhu took it out, we can't benefit in vain, if we don't take it, we won't have complaints." ”

Li Dayong said: "Although it is a chamber of commerce, the purpose set is to say so, but this matter is indeed a major interference, no matter what Zhang Dongzhu decides, we can only abide by it." ”

When the Chamber of Commerce was first established, there was indeed an agreement on technology sharing, and everyone signed a contract to join the association.

Ma Huaxian said: "I have the same attitude as Sun Huishou. ”

This person is the same as Sun Anle, Li Dayong glanced at Ma Huaxian and didn't say anything. Prior to this, because the attitude of the Dongshan Society must be inclined to Yusheng, Ma Huaxian and Li Dayong are considered offensive and defensive alliances, and the two of them together are stronger than Dongshan Society, only weaker than He Yusheng, if Ma Huaxian also falls to Zhang Han's side, then there is not much room for manipulation in today's affairs.

Zhang Han and the others finished their expressions, and then said to Jiang Kui: "Bring the fine iron to the proprietors." ”

Jiang Kui agreed, and brought in a ten-pound iron bar.

The money ingot is blue, and all the people present are old connoisseurs, Sun Anle first took it in his hand, tapped it lightly a few times, listened to the sound, and then weighed it, and his face was already showing ecstasy.

Then Li Dayong and Ma Huaxian also took it in their hands, weighed the weight, looked at the color of the iron ingot, and checked the impurity content.

Li Dayong also broke it a few times to see the flexibility of the iron ingot.

The result is that everyone is very satisfied.

"As long as proprietor Zhang is willing, we can send someone to Jingshi and talk directly to those big shopkeepers!" Sun Anle sat on the chair very stretched, and said very satisfied: "Everyone, wait for the day when the family will have a lot of money." ”

Sun Anle is a righteous and wealthy personality and is not greedy, but no one will refuse to have more of his wealth. Even if it is him, he will think about wine and fat cows, and pleasure is something that no one does not want, especially the people of this era.

"It depends on what Zhang Dongzhu means......" Li Dayong's face showed nervousness, and the corners of his forehead were sweating.

With this kind of fine iron, Jin Tie seized the entire northern market very easily, before the profits became high, but not enough, a large number of pig iron was sold to the grassland at the same time, that is the smuggling route, now Zhang Han and Fan Yongdou are fighting with each other, and Yusheng's strategy is to stock up a large number of goods, and reduce shipments on the grassland, the entire Shanxi market has been stirred up very much, prices have risen sharply, the cost of the iron yard has increased a lot, plus the shipment has decreased, everyone was originally a little worried, this kind of business war is a powerful pass, Everyone also knows that He Yusheng has no time to take care of too much, this time the two-room method comes out, everyone feels that the opportunity is right in front of them, if they can seize it, it may be a skyrocket.

"I mean it very simply." Zhang Han knew that the time for a showdown had come, he looked at everyone in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone can share the two-chamber method, smelt refined iron, and benefit together." However, if you want to get it, you have to pay for it. What I mean is that our chamber of commerce should be closer, according to the size and production of each iron yard, determine the share capital, not only the common pricing, but also the shipment, the cost is also evenly shared, and then distribute the bonus according to the share of the share of the iron stock. ”

Li Dayong said: "Doesn't this mean that everyone has become a big business and a big iron field?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Han said with a smile: "Each family's accounts are still independent, and the daily management is still their own. Of course, the Chamber of Commerce has also agreed on some rules that everyone should abide by, such as the wages of miners, and there can be no difference between high and low. ”

Sun Anle said: "What are the benefits of this? ”

"The advantage is," Zhang Han said: "We can sit on the entire Lingqiu Iron Industry, 20,000 miners, dozens of iron yards really form a joint force, our scale is far suppressing the entire Southern Railway, and the iron industry in the rest of the north is completely incomparable with us." In this way, what price we set, can only be the price in various places, because our iron is better than theirs, the material is cheaper than theirs, and after a long time, we can rush across the iron industry elsewhere and make more profits! ”

Li Da said sourly: "Even so, it is He Yusheng who benefits more." ”

What Li Dayong said is also the truth, with Yusheng's logistics ability and business ability to spread out in an all-round way, it is a matter of time before Lingqiu Iron Industry rushes across other iron yards, the more mines and iron yards are destroyed, the more Zhang Han can merge, and with the ability of Yusheng, he can gain a foothold in one place, and then develop faster, so that he Yusheng is indeed the most profitable.

This is also the most critical reason why Zhang Han wants to engage in the coordinated development of the big chamber of commerce, with the current development speed of Yusheng Iron Field, it will take at least one to two years to do the current things to lay out.

Then the rest of the iron yards in Lingqiu had to be squeezed across, which would cause serious unrest and backlash in the place.

Zhang Han has already started a full-scale war with Fan Yongdou's Fan Family Commercial Bank, and it is not appropriate to build more enemies at this time.

Even if Tianchengwei's grain merchants betrayed, Zhang Han chose to be patient, and here in Lingqiu, it is even more inappropriate to cause more trouble.

After opening his own handicap, Zhang Han didn't care, and leaned on the back of the chair for a long time, looking at the few people present. He has already played his hole cards, and Yusheng is definitely the most profitable one, except for the future, at the moment, it is equivalent to really controlling the Lingqiu Iron Industry in his own hands, that is dozens of iron farms, tens of thousands of miners, where is a terrifying force.

At this time, Zhang Han thought of Huang Taiji, the Houjin Sibeiler who put a lot of pressure on himself, had an extraordinary appearance and demeanor, and was full of strong self-confidence.

When Zhang Han first arrived in Liaodong last year, the strength ratio of the two sides was far apart, and now Zhang Han couldn't help but wonder if the distance between himself and Huang Taiji had narrowed down.

When he was in Liaodong, the pressure on him from Huang Taiji and the entire Houjin was too great.

It was a new barbarian force, full of vitality and wildness, with a sense of destruction and rage, and Zhang Han's disgust with them was not only that the Houjin Group was a bandit group and murder, but that they were another state of civilization in their own way.

The strong are respected, the weak are slaves, and the weak have no status and dignity, only survival.

A few months in Liaodong was the darkest period of Zhang Han's life, which was the most important reason why he was now drawing strength.

The years in Liaodong were a nightmare, and he wanted to crush this nightmare with his own hands.

"We will ...... Dongshan" or Sun Anle spoke first, he said: "It's still the same sentence last time, everything is only the head of the owner." ”

Sun Anle smiled after speaking, and said, "It can also be said that it is Lord Zhang." ”

Zhang Hanle said: "Nine products inspection, Sun Huishou probably won't really take it to heart." ”

Sun Anle said: "With your talent and strength, as long as you are willing, I think it will not be difficult for you to reach the fourth-grade or even the third-grade martial arts." It's just that we businessmen wear official uniforms just to do things, and I don't think Zhang Dongzhu really wants to be an official. ”

Zhang Han said: "The situation is pressing, now the bandits are making too much trouble, we can't just have silver, we have to have the power to protect ourselves." If you blindly rely on the government, what is the use? The border army came, and the daylily was cold. Besides, I hired a dart master in the accounting bureau, and once I trained them, I could be regarded as having real experience, so I got this thing done. ”
