Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 48 Capital City Vision

If a family can get these more than 40 million gold coins, that family can definitely be called a wealthy family. It’s a huge sum of money, even if there are not many families and business groups that can get this money, but if the entire ice field giant bear tribe, an independent tribe with three knights and a total population of nearly 20 million The kingdom can only afford this amount of money, so it is a bit shabby.

The more than 40 million gold coins, Zhang Tie knew, must also include the profit generated by the ice giant bear tribe betting nearly 10 million gold coins on him in this gambling battle. If this profit is excluded, that is to say, The tribal finances that the entire Icefield Giant Bear Tribe can use are only more than 30 million gold coins at most, and it is difficult to even build half of the capital.

Hearing Elder Thors report his family background, Zhang Tie knew how poor these tribes on the ice and snow wasteland were. Among all the bear-level tribes, perhaps the richest one was the Iron Bear tribe. Apart from the Iron Bear tribe, even the Ice Field A tribe like the Giant Bear can only get a fortune of more than 30 million gold coins, so you can imagine what happened to other tribes. It's no wonder that the tribes of the Demon Bear tribe are jealous when they see the tribe's axis railway, and they are casually killed by others. It's all fucking poor and crazy to jump out at the provocation.

In this era, there are only two ways to accumulate wealth. The first way is the prosperity of commerce and trade. , and the second way is only industrialization, through the efficiency and production of industrialization to create wealth. It's a pity that before I came to the ice and snow wasteland, no matter it was the process of commercial trade or industrialization. The entire ice and snow wasteland is far behind this era, otherwise it would not be called a wasteland, and if there is no prosperity of commerce and industry, where can the gold coins come from - exchange my wool for yours Herbs? Of course not.

"I'm curious, how the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe's finances were accumulated!" Zhang Tie asked the three elders.

"The Icefield Giant Bear Tribe is located in the heartland of the entire ice and snow wasteland. Although the Gozdali Plain is fertile, it is relatively closed. It is difficult for outside merchants to come in, so our business is not developed. In the past, the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe was the most important There are three financial sources. One is the trade of the saber-toothed beasts that our tribe controls the entire ice and snow wasteland. The second is that we can still sell some surplus food every year. The third is in the north of the Gozdali Plain. Our tribe discovered a large gold mine. Hailimeisi gold mine. The gold excavated from Hailimeisi gold mine every year can allow us to mint more than 800,000 gold coins! There are other silver mines and copper mines. The combined value of the currency that can be minted by the two is only about 150,000 gold coins per year..." Elder Towers said, and he took out a gold coin from his body and handed it to Zhang Tie.

More than 800,000 gold coins, that is, more than 20 tons of gold can be mined every year, which is not a lot.

Zhang Tie took the gold coin and looked at it. The pattern on the front of the gold coin was a giant bear. The pattern on the back is Mount Elquita, and the lines of both patterns are very simple.

The edge teeth of the gold coin are not fine enough, and around the pattern on the front and back, there is a line of small characters in Siberian—"Icefield giant bear tribe casts a standard weight of 25 grams of pure gold gold coin".

Compared with the exquisite locomotive gold coins of the Andaman League, the gold coins minted by the Icefield Giant Bear Tribe are not only enough in weight to be circulated, but the appearance is really not so beautiful. The industrial strength of the tribe is related to the level.

Zhang Tie returned the gold coin to Elder Thors again, and sighed, "I made a little money in this fleet gambling game, and I will bear all the funds for the construction of the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Iceland this time. The Icefield Giant Bear Tribe needs to pay for it. I am going to spend 90 million gold coins to build a new capital. The Icefield Giant Bear Tribe just needs to help determine the location of the capital. Look at the capital built on the Gozdali Plain. What is the best location!"

At this moment, Zhang Tie is the veritable No. 1 richest man in the northern waters of Blackson. The 100 million gold coins he won from the gambling battle, because he joined Jinquandao, Jinpeng Bank actually didn't charge him at all. Any handling fee, the money, has been deposited into his account, and he can withdraw it no matter whether he is Zhang Tie or Peter Hampres. In addition to this money, the last time I voted for the Senel family in Tokey, the capital of the Principality of Titanic, that vote also made Zhang Tie suddenly rich. Now in the Black Iron Castle, Zhang Tie has The windfall obtained from the city of Tokeyi is still placed in the treasury of Palace Tree. Those things include 540 tons of gold, 14.68 million gold coins, 47.6 million gold notes, and other gems, jewelry, and rare treasures. There are more than 600 boxes of metals, and the value of those things is also more than 100 million gold coins. Thanks to the thorough search of the Senel family, almost all the wealth of the Titanic Principality is here, because it is inconvenient to take out those things. Zhang Tie kept them in the Black Iron Fort all the time. With the 100 million gold coins plus the 100 million gold coins won in this gambling battle, Zhang Tie's personal small treasury has actually exceeded 500 million gold coins. It can be described as an enemy country.

With so much money, taking out 90 million gold coins to invest in the holy Kingdom of Iceland, building a capital city of his own on the ice and snow wasteland, confirming his own ruling authority, and increasing his weight in the way of gold and power, for Zhang Tie, it is completely within the acceptable range.

Moreover, this city can be built to make money through various methods. It will be a matter of time before it returns. The annual surplus of Eskill City can bring more than 2.8 million gold coins to the Spencer family, and they will spend 90 million gold coins to pile them up. The capital of the sacred Kingdom of Iceland can earn itself no less than this amount every year.

Seeing that Zhang Tie was such a local tyrant, and he offered 90 million gold coins as soon as he made a move, the three elders of the giant bear tribe in the ice field could only be speechless. Added up, there are not as many as Zhang Tie alone. This kind of thing really made the three elders not know what to say.

"There is no need to choose the location of the new capital. The best place is the Genqing Lake Delta area near the Marli River and Genqing Lake at the foot of Erqida Mountain. This place covers more than 80,000 square kilometers. There are also large forests, and there are several large coal mines, iron mines, copper mines, and silver mines not far from the surrounding area. Only two short-distance railways can be built to connect these mining areas with the capital city, and the capital city with the tribal axis railway. , the environment here is very good, and the development space is very broad. After the capital is built, around the new capital, large towns and industrial parks can be quickly formed in the Genqing Lake Delta area, and the new capital can be used after the capital is built. The water resources of the Marly River and Genqing Lake are used to develop water transportation. The Marly River also leads directly to Lancaster Bay in the northeast of the Ice and Snow Wasteland. The weather in Lancaster Bay is very cold, but there are still 8 months every year. It is thawed, and it can go directly to the sea wherever it is, and ships under a thousand tons can pass..." Elder Thors said. Although it is said that there is no one richer than Zhang Tie in the entire Ice and Snow Wasteland in terms of wealth, but in terms of familiarity with the Ice and Snow Wasteland, no one can compare with the few elders sitting here.

Thinking of the scenery he saw on the way, Zhang Tie's heart moved, "Is the Huidian in this area?"

"Yes!"

"Well, the newly built capital city is located in the Green Lake Delta area. To include the Huidian, I will first entrust Jinpeng Bank to be responsible for the construction of the city, and a few elders will help to check it out!"

"90 million gold coins, this can build a majestic city several times larger than Eskil City, and the urban area of ​​the entire city can be more than 1,000 square kilometers..." Elder Gulas sighed.

Zhang Tie was also a little excited when he imagined that he would have a city of his own on the ice and snow wasteland a few years later, but after only a few seconds of excitement, Zhang Tie put aside the matter of building the city. He only needs to pay the money. Anyway, in Zhang Tie’s impression, Jinpeng Bank has too many resources to use, and there is no job that Jinpeng Bank can’t take over. Just leave it to the experts.

At this moment, Zhang Tie thought of an expert, and the voice of the long-lost Heller appeared in Zhang Tie's sea of ​​consciousness, "Master, have you forgotten, A-Gump is the best construction expert, and I will leave the construction of the capital to Ah-Gump." Gan, he must be very happy!"

Within a hundredth of a second, Zhang Tie froze for a moment, "Isn't A-Gump unable to leave the Black Iron Fort?"

"A-Gump can't leave the Black Iron Castle, but he can help the master of the castle to complete the design and planning of the new capital. As long as the master of the castle finds some time to fly in the air in the Qinghu Delta area, I will Let A-Gump know the topography and landforms of that area, and A-Gump can also take out the blueprint of the capital according to the needs of the castle owner, and the castle owner can then hand over the blueprint to Jinpeng Bank!"

Zhang Tie really had some expectations for the abilities of his three servants. Since such a cautious Heller recommended A-Gump to complete the planning and design of the capital, A-Gump would not let him down.

Zhang Tie agreed to Haile... (to be continued...)
