Chapter 4 The Loyal Old Eunuch

The coal-steel industrial body is the bone of the industrial society and the only criterion for measuring the strength of civilization before electrification. All poems, songs, all wise monarchs and ministers, and all conspiracies are vulnerable to steel and coal.

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

What's more, the era in which Zhang De is now is an era when the feudal empire is rising, and the old aristocratic power gradually transitions to the new literati class.

"Fifty percent profit-"

Old Zhang shouted, "Shi Gong, I'm not as good as a princess to go home if I have 50% of my benefits!"

"Mr. Zhang is serious!"

Shi Dazhong was immediately overjoyed.

"Hey, I just talk about it casually, why did Shi Gong take it seriously?" Old Zhang coughed lightly, then glanced at Shi Dazhong, "Shi Gong, you have been removed from your post, why are you still so loyal?"

"Old Nu is His Majesty's man in life, and his Majesty's ghost in death!"

Damn... your ancestors were also Turkic, would you be so loyal?

"Well, Shi Gong, that person asked for a lot of money, I have to pay it back on the spot. I understand." As he said that, Zhang De raised his eyebrows, "It's 30% or 30% profit, but I can give the Tian family an extra small treasury."

After hearing what Zhang De said, Shi Dazhong breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, the emperor's order is difficult. Let's talk about it first. Although I have not been in the internal surveillance for a long time, your Majesty trusts me and dare not die if I die?"

Yes, the descendants of your barbarians were all kicked by donkeys. You are like this, Li Simo is like this, and there are those Dangxiang crazy people who formed a group of charity to beat and kill Fu Yun every day. Are you all caught in the halo of retarded people? Damn, I'm really tired of dealing with you. How many unfaithful people will die? A thousand and fifteen hundred years later, why are there such loyal people in this feudal dynasty?

"I have investigated in Youzhou, Jizhou, Pingzhou, and Duke Xiaotong has already arranged it first. In short, it is probably at the junction of Pingzhou, Jizhou. Coal... Uh, Mr. Shi knows this thing, right?"

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

"I can operate the Hedong charcoal farm first, and then transfer a prince after profit. Who will the prince ask him to come forward? I don't need me to give me some advice?"

“Um…”

Shi Dazhong thought about it, "Dalang, there are many princes."

"I know!"

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

Zhang De, who was so angry that he trembled, picked up the teacup and drank it randomly: "The big charcoal farm is owned by the princes, and this is a long-term career. It is better to keep warm in autumn and winter and eat in spring and summer than charcoal bento."

"Bendo, now every household in Chang'an City..."

"Okay, Shi Gong!" Old Zhang reached out to stop Shi Dazhong from speaking. When he thought that this was a meat bun and beat a dog, he felt uncomfortable all over. "The princes' mansions have promoted several scheming officials. It's really not possible, so it's okay to leave it to the East Palace for management."

"This...isn't that good?"

"Why is it not good? Anyway, it's money, not power! Besides, the more and less, His Majesty has the final say. The accountant can only check the accounts, what else can he do?"

"But……"

"No, but this is for free. If you don't agree, forget it."

Zhang De looked at Shi Dazhong with his eyes squinted.

The old eunuch smiled and said, "Don't be angry."

He comforted Zhang De, who was full of resentment, "Da Lang does things, others don't know, but I don't know yet? But Da Lang, I have a question, Da Lang needs to give an answer."

"But it's okay."

"Dalang wants to make steel?"

"Smel iron first, then steel."

"How about the steel filling method compared to Qi Wugong's?"

The Qi Wugong mentioned by the old eunuch is Qi Wuhuaiwen, the steel filling method he invented, and it is also because of him that the steelmaking level in the Central Plains was able to lead the world for a long time. Unfortunately, after initially solving several heat treatment methods, he turned a blind eye. Therefore, the smelting and casting technology did not make a substantial leap.

In fact, for Zhang De, the safest thing is to put the original coal and steel industrial body in Hetao. After all, the quality of coal is the best, and secondly, there is enough hydraulic resources. Once the iron ore is evenly distributed, it is not difficult to mine.

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

Logistics is difficult.

The same distance is not accurate for three months from Chang'an to Suzhou. But if you use a near-shore sailboat and start from the mouth of the Niangzi River or the mouth of the Zhanghe River, it will be the three generations of ship workers who are squirming in twenty days.

Although Zhang De had no knowledge of ship manufacturing, what wooden sailboats had to solve was nothing more than power and strength. Based on this, that is pure mathematics and physical calculations. I dare not say anything else, he had stocked up so much wood. Even if he continued to do it one by one, if he couldn't try the 20-kilometer-per-hour sailboat, he would have died.

Just calculated based on the speed of 20 kilometers per hour, the sailing distance of one day alone is more than 200 kilometers.

Anyway, I didn’t think I would make a Spanish sailing car as soon as I got up, and I would set up a flat-bottomed hard sailing boat to run near the sea and rivers without any pressure.

It really doesn't work. He tried his best to get a few small cement ships out, which was not impossible.

However, there are not many coastal areas that can do this. 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, he will supply hundreds of thousands of weapons at once. He is afraid of Mao? When Li Dong opens his mouth and asks him for one million arrows, he will not frown. He will add a zero to 10 million, which will scare Li Dong!

"Tsk."

So when he heard Shi Dazhong's question, Lao Zhang sighed and said, "It's almost the same as Su Tiedao."

"really?"

"More than real gold."

"Okay! Then I will go to the palace to report."

After saying that, the old eunuch turned around and left.

Oh, you're so loyal.

"Shi Gong, wait, I forgot to take the things." Zhang De walked out quickly, caught up with Shi Dazhong who was marching like flying, and found a stack of China Resources tickets in his arms. "Shi Gong, why are you so careless? If anyone picks up this ten thousand yuan ticket, wouldn't Shi Gong lose a piece of money in vain?"

Hearing Lao Zhang say this, Shi Dazhong smiled and said immediately: "Oh, the emperor's destiny is here, I still have some serious business. Thank you Dalang, say goodbye, stay, stay, there are people from the princess's mansion outside."

Lao Zhang was about to step out with one leg, but he was so scared that he shook his whole body and quickly turned around and hid behind the gate. This place was a guest house outside the west suburbs of the city, a transfer compound located in the west of the city by China Resources. Mules, horses and vehicles were handed over here.

"This dead eunuch..." Zhang De was creepy, "Fortunately I'm smart, otherwise the old eunuch wouldn't have told me. This is so fucking... it's too terrifying."

After wiping the fine hair on his forehead, Lao Zhang glanced through the crack of the door. A market street had already formed outside. Because there was a small river, the court also set up an ambassador of Tianjin to be controlled by Chang'an Order.

"Damn..."

Lao Zhang looked out and saw two heroes outside, with introverted expressions not like masters at all. However, Zhang De knew these two men, who were the special forces soldiers in the Tang Dynasty camp on both sides, and they were not "flying cavalry", but were the strongest ten bodyguards of Li Dong. If someone else saw these two men who sold steamed buns without any highlights, they would never have thought that they were masters and masters.

However, because he often competes with Director Li, Lao Zhang is really familiar with the gold medal bodyguard around Director Li.

"What should I do? Uncle Tan is not here. I would have thought that I should invent a mobile phone first!"

Zhang De leaned against the door, "Damn it must be my cousin here!"
