Chapter 81 The Solution(1/2)
As iron prices rise with the tide, Shenjiabao no longer has to pay for food.
Although Shenjiabao occupies more than fifty acres of land, not a single grain of food is grown.
There are more than 20 families of core tribesmen who follow Shen Lin.
The farmland at home is all planted with vegetables.
You can also make a lot of money by selling it to Baoli.
Liang Zizhong said quickly.
"The master's family is short of money. Mangshan Village has made a lot of money recently by buying iron ore."
"Brother Lin, if we can scrape together a thousand taels, you can use it for turnover first?"
Shen Zhongyuan also said: "I eat in the canteen every day, and it's useless to save money at home."
"We can all come up with some. Brother Lin, you're welcome!"
Liu Chuer smiled gently.
"Lao Liang, second uncle, there's really no need."
"We have accumulated more than 1,300 pieces of dyed cloth at home."
"In the next two days, Seventh Brother will send a ship to transport it away."
"In exchange for three thousand taels of silver, there will be no problem."
"Third uncle, don't worry. How come there is a negative balance in the books?"
Shen Zhonghe certainly knew it in his heart.
He has a bit of a small farmer mentality, but he also saves money for Shen Lin.
He was worried about Shen Lin and bought without restraint.
It's really heartbreaking to spend money at a low price.
But after listening to Shen Lin's analysis, I think it makes sense.
If the situation worsens in the future, save more food, salt, and dried meat now.
They are all guaranteed to make money without losing money, and they are not bad anyway.
He felt at ease.
"Hahaha, third uncle, I'm not worried. I'm not worried now."
You eat slowly, there are plenty of fish and meat buns.
Be careful not to choke.
It seems that you are still distressed.
Shen Lin turned around and asked: "Second uncle, how many fine iron heavy swords have been made?"
Shen Zhongyuan counted with his fingers and understood clearly.
"As of yesterday, it was over 600."
Shen Lin thought for a while and said: "This time, let Lao Qi take him away and find a way to make some money."
"Try to buy more livestock, coarse grains and fodder."
"We don't lack a place to raise animals now."
Shen Zhonghe asked: "That's not right, wasn't it agreed upon? A five-month delivery period?"
"Governor Zhang of Chanzhou, are you willing to give us money in advance?"
Why not give it?
He didn't even pay the deposit.
We are already very particular, okay?
If we don’t have iron ore at home.
Just three thousand heavy knives and sixty thousand kilograms of refined iron. How much low-grade ore is needed to smelt it?
Today, the price of iron ore outside is rising again and again.
Just preparing charcoal and iron ore doesn't cost a few thousand taels of silver?
Why should we, from a small family, give him the cover?
Shen Lin said slightly proudly.
"This is called playing hard to get!"
"Think about it, the Chanzhou Army is at war, is it hungry for good weapons?"
"Let Lao Qi complain, Zhang Fengqi is probably getting angry right now!"
"Let him see the sharpness of the heavy knife first, hehe!"
"Can he not expect us to finish the work as soon as possible?"
"No money? Yes, then the goods will be delivered after five months."
"The yellow vegetables are already cold, I can't help but worry about him!"
Shen Lin is absolutely sure.
Zhang Fengqi will not only settle the first batch of payments quickly.
Maybe, I would be more than happy to pay a deposit!
What is he doing with his money now?
The Chanzhou army is not short of food and grass.
They use water transportation, which is very convenient.
The armored knights with heavy swords in their hands are his trump card for destroying bandits.
With the ten-refined-level standard spears and swords in the army, the advantage is probably not big.
The Luoyang Mountain bandits originally had thousands of rebel troops.
After conquering the four counties, they captured a lot.
Don’t people make their own weapons?
The Chanzhou Army still has to confront the Liao people across the river.
Zhang Fengqi could mobilize at most 20,000 to 30,000 bandits.
Facing 100,000 bandits, we still fight in mountainous areas.
He is completely at a disadvantage, right?
The Xiongzhou Army next door was even more helpless.
In which month in Xiongzhou is it forbidden to fight with the Liao people?
Water battles and land battles have long since made the division tired.
Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to send troops to support them.
Do you expect those big turbans in the imperial court to admire the flowers and the moon?
It has been three years since half of the Datong Basin fell.
Are you anxious? Are you angry?
In their eyes, what can a mere bandit become?
You two military states, I think it will be done.
Anyway, the Luoyang Mountain bandits can't defeat the Yellow River.
It's far away from Fengqiu, the capital city.
The more disappointed I become about the future situation.
Shen Lin became even more vigilant.
"Old Liang, bring back some more cement so your village can move."
"Build another strong fort."
move place?
There are only a hundred acres of thin farmland around Mangshan Village.
But that is also something accumulated over generations.
A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse!
Liang Zizhong looked embarrassed.
"Brother Lin, we have renovated many houses in the past few months."
