With the machinery driven by water and animal power, with the iron-making furnace that can produce high-quality wrought iron in large quantities, coupled with the status of Xuzhou's own coal and iron center, and the craftsmen recruited by the Xu family and Zhao Ziying, this aspect is combined, and all kinds of high-quality and large-scale iron will be produced, the output will skyrocket, the cost will be lowered, and the profit will be very high.

"Skill and craftsmanship is silver" This sentence is remembered by many people in the craftsman hall, craftsmen understand Zhao Jin's magic stone into gold than more people, this is not Su Hui and the fairy method, as long as you are experienced, do more and think more, and are willing to work hard to ponder, then there will be such a way to turn stones into gold.

However, everyone also knows that this can only be done in Zhao Ziying, and craftsmen are not regarded as decent people at all elsewhere, how can they spend so much money in vain, and there will be people who have the heart to ponder, and it is normal to be a cow and a horse all day long.

In the bazaar and the salt market, Li Laohai they also watched very carefully, but they were not surprised, the bulk goods gathered from everywhere were recorded by them one by one, to the surprise of the trade hall, Li Laohai They paid the most attention to cotton cloth, and asked very carefully.

Zhao Jin didn't delay for too long, on the fourth day, Zhao Ziying met Li Laohai in the living room of the council hall, only Li Laohai and his closest nephew Zheng Da were allowed to enter, and these days in Xuzhou, Li Laohai's sons and nephews have been shocked many times, and they put their status and posture very low, and they have no opinion on this.

"Brother Li has helped a lot in Macau, the cannon and the craftsman are of great use to us, this Zhu Xingshu is even more talented, and he has helped a lot, Xuzhou owes Brother Li a favor, this time the weapons and armor are given away within 500 pieces." Zhao Jin said straight to the point.

Others will laugh at Zhao Jin for being stingy, such a big man, hundreds of pieces of armor are nothing, but Li Laohai feels that it is normal, everyone's business and business are not falling from the sky, and being sent out for nothing is said to be heroic and refreshing, that is a loser, and Zhao Jin's words point out the attitude that both parties should have, so that each other can save trouble, Li Laohai feels very comfortable.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lao Li thanked me for the leader of my family."

"I want a sea boat, I want a sailor who can sail and operate a boat, this ship and sailor are my own, and now I still want to use a boat, I want a sea boat and the people on board to do things for me, I also want people who know the craft, and I want all kinds of firearms, this is what I want, Brother Li, what do you want?" Zhao Jin said directly.

For Zhao Jin's straightforwardness, Li Laohai and his nephew were a little stunned, and then felt relaxed, it is easy to talk about things like this, and the characters who lick blood at the tip of the knife are really not suitable for the politeness on the scene.

"Jin Ye is really arrogant, my big gang has nothing else, there are many boats, there are many people at sea, they are all good men who broke out in the wind and waves, they are not afraid of death or Wang Fa, but they also understand that they do things according to the rules, if Jin Ye is in need, our big gang can provide it, what our big gang wants" Li Laohai first agreed simply, and then groaned.

After being quiet for a while, Li Laohai turned his head to look at his nephew and said, "If I want to miss something, you remind me directly, don't worry about rudeness or anything, I won't care about it." ”

"Jin Ye, we want a lot of things, the weapons, iron armor and iron parts that we have seen in your place these days, these annual needs are large, in addition to this, raw silk, cotton cloth and wood are urgently needed, if Jin Ye can provide them here, the price is easy to say." Li Laohai said a few things first.

Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui are both present, hearing a few needs reported by the other party, everyone thinks it is strange, these things are not rare in Daming, the ocean and sea trade are profiteering business, how to relate to these things, Li Laohai's nephew over there bowed his head and whispered, but here Ruhui whispered to Zhao Jin: "We only have enough wood for our own use, raw silk needs to go to Jiangnan to buy, cotton cloth can be supplied." ”

After he finished speaking, he went to whisper to Wang Zhaojing, if the raw silk goes to Jiangnan to buy, it will be through the Yu family, the timber looks everywhere, and the batch Zhao Ziying that can be transported to the harbor to provide to the sea ships has not been able to make up for a while, in fact, the timber on the Xuzhou side is imported from everywhere.

"If it is convenient for you, my family wants to arrange a few buyers in Qingjiangpu to buy goods directly on the ship, and please give the rules to this master, and we will do things according to the rules." Li Laohai said again.

Anything can be bought in the Qingjiang market, and there will be nothing to do with Zhao Ziying when he gets on the boat and goes to sea, but this Li Laohai also knows who Qingjiangpu is under the control of whom, and is willing to pay the fees, but these are meaningless to Zhao Jin, even if the cotton cloth is not sold to the other party, there is no need to worry about the market, and Zhao Ziying, a second-class dealer who makes raw silk and timber, does not need to participate.

These transactions in Qingjiangpu, Zhao Ziying in a sense in the car, naturally do not have to deal with the Li family, but if you can't get something that makes the other party tempted, there is no way to let the other party do things, iron-related business is definitely not small, but this is not a frequent transaction, and it can't catch people.

"If Master Jin can rent a port to my family on the east side of Qingjiang Pudong, then I will be grateful, if not, it would be good to have a few places on the dock over there" Li Laohai has not come in vain these times, he must collect all kinds of news back, and they will come over again after discussing and deciding.

For the people at sea, there is a port on the mainland, and it is also a port close to the commercial city, which is extremely valuable, and the clam port where the Yu family is located is a treasure coveted by all maritime forces, and thanks to the Yu family's back to Zhao Ziying on land, and the salt business at sea, so as to get closer to the sea owners, there is no major matter.

However, this clam port must be seen by many people, in all fairness, Li Laohai's request is not too much, because the Li family's gang can come up with far more things than the Yu family, and the reason why the name of "Clam Port" is not mentioned in the request just now is nothing more than wanting to do it decently.

"Clam Harbor can't be given to you, the Yu family has done a lot for Xuzhou, and they are still born and dying, this is what they deserve." Zhao Jin said directly, the Yu family has their own careful thoughts, but the righteousness and festival are not a loss to Zhao Ziying, and now it is also a big risk to go to Liaodong, in such a situation, naturally you can't take a salary from the bottom of the kettle.

Li Laohai was not very surprised by this answer, his face was very calm, but the juniors around him had regret and disappointment on their faces, and when Zhao Jin finished speaking, Li Laohai smiled and said: "Since this is the case, please take care of the master in the future." ”

"It's easy to say that the cotton cloth is here, and I will try my best to make it convenient for you in the raw silk, and there is no way to do it with wood." Zhao Jin also told the truth, but he also wondered how Jiangnan silk was a large part of the sea trade over there, and how could the Li family's gang not be able to get the supply of raw silk on such a scale.

"It is said that the first time I met Jin Ye, I shouldn't be so presumptuous, but the sea of Nan Zhili and Zhejiang was occupied by Zhong Bin, and he wanted to monopolize all the goods produced in Jiangnan, and everyone wanted to sell them outside and could only get the goods in his hands, although he made a lot of money, but he couldn't stand it, so he was in a hurry to come over and ask Jin Ye to find a way." Li Laohai explained why.

The name Zhong Bin, Zhao Jin is not the first time he has heard it, he can be feared by the Li family's gang, and he can be heard by himself several times, he thinks it is a great force, but such a huge sea force has nothing to do with the equally huge Zhao Ziying, which shows that the land and sea in these years are completely irrelevant.

Hearing that Zhao Ziying could provide cotton cloth here, Li Laohai's face showed joy, he hesitated there, patted his thigh with one arm and said: "Our Li family's big gang and Jin Ye's side are a long time coming, Jin Ye wants to use a few boats, how many people to use, please say a word to the next one, we will do our best!" ”

Several people in the Zhao Ziying in the house looked at each other, and they all nodded secretly, this Li family gang really has the style of a heroic man on the sea, obviously he didn't get anything from here, but he dared to bet on it first, this kind of work has a bit of Zhao Ziying's style, which makes people feel very comfortable.

Zhao Jin sat there and pondered for a moment, with his identity, everyone in the room naturally waited quietly, and after a while, Zhao Jin said: "I still have a port in Haizhou, you can use the berths over there, if you are willing to help me build ships and train sailors, and do more to help me do things, the share of that port can also give you more." ”

When these words were spoken, Li Laohai and his juniors showed an incredible look on their faces, obviously shocked, Li Laohai leaned forward, and asked a little rudely: "What did Master Jin say is that Haizhou of Huaiyan?" Only small boats can be docked over there, and there are officials and soldiers guarding it, isn't it only the Yu family that can transport salt from there? ”

The question was a bit chaotic, but everyone knew that Haizhou was near the sea, but the port was very small, and there were thousands of households guarding it, and the local people were also quite strong, and it was difficult for the big gang on the sea to get their hands dirty, but they didn't expect Zhao Jin to mention it.

"You can go over and have a look when you have some time, it's being renovated over there, and the scale must be much bigger than that of Clam Harbor."

"Master Jin, can you transport salt from there?" Li Laohai asked eagerly.

Zhao Jin showed a relaxed smile on his face, starting from the conversation, he finally took the initiative, which is ridiculous, the huge Qingjiangpu, the huge Xuzhou, this is already the most prosperous place in the world, but there is no material that the other party needs.
