Chapter 747 Raise Money on Your Own
Zuo Anmin asked someone to take the gold to the place designated by the other party.
After the other party inspected the goods, he was very satisfied and handed him the formula of the explosives.
Zuo Anmin excitedly took the formula with both hands, took a look at it, and then handed it to the person next to him.
The person he brought looked at it, confirmed that it was probably true, and nodded to him.
The other party lowered his voice and said, "Take this formula back and try it. If it is fake, come to me again."
Zuo Anmin nodded, and he took a last look at the boxes of gold and gems, "Let's go!" His heart was bleeding, this formula was too expensive!
After Zuo Anmin led his people away, Sheng Peiguang's cousin wiped the sweat from his head and whispered to his cousin who was disguised as a servant next to him, "Brother, where should these gold and jewelry be sent? The provincial government office?"
"Look at your useless look!" Sheng Peiguang waved his hand and asked someone to send these gold and jewelry back to the Sheng family first, and then report to the governor, and then let the governor's people choose the right time to transport them away.
Sheng Peiguang said to him again, "If you want to act, you have to do it in full." Who knows if Zuo Anmin will arrange someone to spy on them?
Sheng Peiguang's cousin looked embarrassed, "Brother, you can arrange it." He just thought that these gold and jewelry belonged to the governor, so he should send them to her as soon as possible.
"You, you are not strict in managing your family. You must give an explanation for this matter."
Sheng Peiguang's cousin replied obediently, "I know, I will take good care of my family after I go back."
On the other side, after Zuo Anmin got the formula for the explosives, he immediately left Pingzhou secretly according to the route he had planned before and headed straight to the south.
After Xie Zhan got the formula for the explosives, he was also overjoyed.
After he asked professionals to prepare the explosives according to the formula and tested it to be true, Xie Zhan began to lay out the next speculation.
But a good cook cannot cook without rice. After this incident, he had no money in his hands.
Xie Zhan ordered, "Help me contact Liao Xuewang, Qiao Xitong, Hu Jiangyi and others secretly."
Qiao Xitong, a big timber merchant in Bingzhou, Hu Jiangyi, a porcelain merchant in Xin'an, and Liao Xuewang, a big silk merchant, are all big merchants who have cooperated before.
While waiting for Liao Xuewang and others to arrive, Xie Zhan drew all the funds of the Xie family to carry out his plan.
Since it has been predicted that there will be a heavy snowstorm this winter, he needs to make some arrangements in advance. For example, let the army cut down trees in the south and refine charcoal.
Just as he was quietly preparing, Pingzhou was silent, which made Xie Zhan wonder, didn't Pingzhou expect the heavy snow in winter? There should be many talented people in Pingzhou.
At this time, Xie Zhan didn't know that Pingzhou had already started preparing.
Lv Songli asked the Pei family, one of the three major families in Hedong, to be responsible for this matter.
Pei Ruowang, the patriarch of the Pei family, solemnly handed the matter to Pei Ji.
And Pei Ji did not disappoint and worked very seriously.
He inspected the work site and returned to his public housing. Just when he wanted to drink some water, his confidant came over and said, "Master Ji, it's done!"
"Take a quick look. Is this the honeycomb coal that the governor wants?"
Hearing this, Pei Ji was very excited. He went forward to fiddle with it and told his confidant, "Try to burn it and see."
More than two hours later, the confidant came to report again excitedly, followed by a manager who had just been transferred from the clan today.
"Master Ji, it's amazing. This honeycomb coal looks very different. I didn't expect that it would be so hot after burning. It is much more durable than ordinary charcoal."
The confidant read the experimental data, "Using this honeycomb coal to boil water quickly. Well, how should I put it? Ordinary charcoal can barely burn for an hour, but a piece of honeycomb coal can burn for more than two hours, and it can burn out 20 kilograms of water."
Pei Ji estimated in his heart that it was a hot day now, and a piece of honeycomb coal could burn longer. In winter, it would probably only burn for an hour. Even so, it was amazing.
Pei Ji didn't expect that this black thing would be so useful after being made into a honeycomb. If it is used in winter, it should be very warm.
"I wonder how much it costs?" The manager who followed asked curiously. He just came today and hasn't started working yet.
Pei Zheng said nothing. Can he say that mining this thing is not troublesome at all, and it only costs a little labor?
Now the coal in Hedong is exposed and semi-exposed. He can arrange people to pick it up, and then mix it with mud to make honeycomb coal. The cost is low.
He quickly calculated in his mind. If this honeycomb coal is sold at the price of the most expensive silver charcoal, I am afraid that the state government will make a lot of money.
However, he quickly suppressed this idea in his mind and said to his confidant, "Since the finished product has been made, you quickly arrange people to start making it!"
It is still a few days before winter, but the amount arranged by the governor is not a small amount. They have to speed up the work.
Pingzhou, Changli
The treasury of Pingzhou State Government is out of money.
Pingzhou conquered a lot of territory last year, so Pingzhou spent a lot this year. Not to mention other infrastructure, the military expenditure alone is huge.
The most important thing is that Pingzhou supported the construction of Qingzhou District and spent a lot of money.
Although Qingzhou District has begun to recover and steadily transfuse blood to Pingzhou, the initial investment cannot be recovered all at once.
Not to mention that the Sanzhou Free Zone is going to build a large competition venue, and Pingzhou is also involved in the construction, which will cost money again.
Of course, there is another reason why Pingzhou is short of money, that is, the governor has not done anything for more than a year and can't get any external funds.
Ji Ran frowned and suggested to Lu Songli, "Governor, why don't we print more Pingzhou treasure notes?"
When Ji Ran's suggestion came out, Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng, Pei Zheng and others all pricked up their ears.
Lu Songli shook her head and rejected the proposal, "No."
She knew very well that printing more Pingzhou treasure notes would lead to inflation and make the treasure notes worthless.
Hearing this, Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng, Pei Zheng and other people who understand economics quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
If more Pingzhou treasure notes are printed, it will inevitably dilute the cash in their hands. Then they can only use up most of the Pingzhou treasure notes in their hands first. In this way, the impact is not good, and it is difficult to explain to the governor.
In the end, Lu Songli decided to let the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce hold a meeting of high-quality investors three days later.
Now it is time to compete in national strength, and we need to work together.
The officials present looked at each other, their eyes were full of excitement. The opportunity has come. The governor has not been busy for a long time and has not led them to make money.
Now that the governor has spoken, it is clear that action is needed.
Almost everyone has only one idea at this time, which is to go home directly after the shift and ask their families to quickly prepare all the funds that can be withdrawn from the family.
