The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"Our mines seem to be useless." Meng Fang said as he found Guo Sheng anxiously.

"The reconnaissance report from the front said that the Goguryeo people used bayonets to build the mines we buried underneath little by little. But they have not yet entered the range of the artillery. I doubt that if this continues, the mines we carefully laid out will still be useful.

"?" Meng Fang said anxiously after seeing such a report.

The landmines arranged by Zhao State do not need to be guarded, while the mines arranged by Qin State are purely for front defense, rather than becoming a minefield like Zhao State.

"Wait and see, now is not the time yet." Guo Sheng said.

"If we wait and see, they will enter our artillery position." Meng Fang said anxiously.

"Wait, this is the only way we can do it now. Reinforcements will come. The interests of the Yan State and our Zhao State are now closely connected. I think the Zhao State will definitely send reinforcements. If that doesn't work, we will go with

The Yan State requested that the chemical anger be released." Guo Sheng said to Meng Fang.

Hearing this, Meng Fang glanced at the other party. Maybe he really needs to release his anger to solve the problem. Meng Fang thought to himself.

In the palace of the Prime Minister of Handan, Zhao State.

"Have you all heard this news?" Li Mu said in the conference room of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the Zhao State Handan Iron Works, the shareholders of the iron plant, and the investors who were interested in participating in the construction of the iron plant.

"In Liaodong of the Yan State. The specific location is within a range of about one hundred to two hundred south of Xiangping. There is a large amount of iron ore. Although these iron ores are poor, they are very abundant in quantity. This news

It has been confirmed." Li Mu said to everyone.

"It seems this is true. Since the Prime Minister said everything is true, then it must be true." An investor said to the investment partner next to him.

"If that's the case, it would be great. As long as it is developed, it will be fine. The demand for iron will greatly increase in the future, and this is the biggest deal." The investor continued. Everyone present also nodded and discussed.

Li Mu saw that everyone was very interested in developing iron ore. Then his affairs became easier to handle.

"With iron ore, we have to develop it. Our Zhao State-owned Handan Iron Plant has gradually increased its iron smelting capacity. Recently, the No. 5 plant has been put into operation, and the No. 6 to No. 12 plants are nearing completion. In the future,

Look, Zhao State’s demand for iron ore can no longer meet the production of the iron factory." Li Mu said.

"But looking at the world, the demand for iron is getting bigger and bigger. The Qin State is currently focusing on the production of steel, and they have slowed down their production of iron. Therefore, their demand for iron is very large, but their current production capacity is so

It can be said that the production of iron is very important and the demand is also very large. As long as we invest in the iron industry in the future, we will definitely make money." Li Mu told investors.

"Does the Prime Minister want us to invest in iron ore mining in Yan State?" Zhao Cang asked at this time. He is the fifth major shareholder of Handan Iron Works. The investment funds are very large, of course. He is currently very rich,

Because the stock price of Handan Iron Works has risen a lot, the shareholders' meeting of Handan Iron Works conducted a share dividend. He had a large amount of funds in his hands for investment.

"Yes, invest in Yan State's iron ore. In this case, our Zhao State's iron ore demand will be met, and our Zhao State's iron factory will gain great benefits." Li Mu said.

"It's just that for transportation, Yan State still needs to strengthen the construction of railways. We know that from Yandu to Liaodong, only some sections have railways. Especially in Liaodong, there are still no railways. This requires the construction of railways. The ownership of the railways

, The people of Yan must be arguing with us." Zhao Cang continued.

"Not only these, but also the ownership of iron ore and mining, the people of Yan will not give up lightly. As a result, the funds required will be very large. Such a large amount of capital investment has never been done by Zhao.

"Yu Qing said worriedly. He is also a

As for investors, when it comes to investment, he also follows the Qin people. The Qin people will not invest a large amount of money in a project. For the iron ore project, especially on the territory of Yan, this kind of worry makes him feel that he should not

Invest more money.

"Well. The Yan State has promised to let our Zhao State account for the majority of the funds, and the Qin State people will also participate. When the time comes, we will work with the Qin State people on this project, the railway, and the iron ore project." Li Mu said.

"Will the people of Qin also participate?" Zhao Cang asked carefully.

"Yes. I originally planned to let our Zhao people do this by ourselves, but after careful consideration, our Zhao people have too few funds. Although we can do such a thing together, the risk is too great. And we also

We need the support of banks, and Zhao's banks cannot support us in doing such a thing, so we can only rely on people from Qin, so I think cooperation with people from Qin is the best way," Li Mu said.

"Building the Liaodong Railway can maximize the interests of Zhao and Qin, while minimizing Zhao's risks. This is very beneficial to Zhao." Li Mu continued.

"In this way, such a project is very good. However, simply transporting iron ore is not enough. After all, this is poor iron ore, not rich ore. Relying on rail transportation, although the cost of rail transportation is relatively low,

However, after all, there are costs involved, and if an iron plant can be built locally, I think it would be the best." At this time, an investor said.

"No one knows whether there is coal in the local area. If there is coal, I think this question will be easy to answer. I think it is better to do this. We have a lot of coal in Zhao State. We can transport the coal or coke to Yan State and build an iron railway in Yan State.

Factory, I think this is much more cost-effective." An investor said after thinking for a while.

"Will the establishment of an iron factory in Yan State have a big impact on us?" Yu Qing asked.

"This... definitely exists," said an investor.

"In addition, there is also the trade of the Yan State. The eastern part of the Yan State is close to Goguryeo. Now the Goguryeo people are heading north. If we can send troops, or jointly send troops to keep these Goguryeo people here and make them slaves, I think this time

The trade harvest will be huge. Building the railway will require a large number of slaves, not only for Zhao, but also for Qin. This kind of business is very convenient. And it is a promising business." Li Mu continued.

What he did was in exchange for the nobles sending troops.
