Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!.

Rick Industrial Zone.

A cart of iron ore was pulled here, and all the blacksmiths present surrounded him. Some merchants from the blacksmith shop immediately came to ask: "Your Highness, how to sell iron ore?"

The Industrial Special Zone has always lacked iron ore, and the merchants who have troubled the iron smelting industry have never made any money.

If there is iron ore, you can make agricultural tools by making iron. More than 200,000 farmers on Bouji Island need agricultural tools very much, which is a big business.

Luo Lan signaled everyone not to worry, and he found a backbone for a meeting.

Rick first said: "Your Highness, since you can buy iron ore in the future, let's quickly build an iron smelting workshop and strive to let all farmers use iron tools next year."

Boer said: "Yes, now we have dual waterways, and transportation is not difficult. As long as the farm tools are ready, they can be transported to the southernmost end in half a month."

This is of course, but I need to think about it more at the beginning.

Luo Lan touched her chin and said, "How many blacksmiths do we have?"

"A little over a hundred, I used to serve the nobles, but now I do my own things and I'm not convinced each other." Rick smiled, "You can concentrate them together, just like the rum workshop, and concentrate on doing big things."

Rick admires Luo Lan's state-owned business model very much, so he advocates continuing to establish a state-owned company.

But Luo Lan did not agree this time.

He thought for a while and said, "Iron Making is not a core technology, and there are many blacksmiths, and they are relatively scattered. They have their own system, which is not suitable for concentration."

Rick was stunned: "Your Highness means"

"Let them own privately, cooperate with the local government, build township and family businesses, and let the iron smelting industry blossom everywhere."

Luo Lan's idea was also epoch-making, and he let go of the big hands of the planned economy.

Rick worried: "If this happens, will merchants do whatever they want, such as overpricing farm tools, harming farmers, etc."

"As long as the iron smelting industry blossoms everywhere, there will be competition everywhere. Whoever dares to set too high prices will definitely go bankrupt. Farmers won't buy it." Luo Lan smiled, and Rick's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'm too slow."

In fact, this is the market's self-regulation mechanism, and the market will also choose businessmen.

The private sector of the civilian iron smelting industry decided this way. Merchants from all over the country freely traded iron ore with Iyman without going through the hands of the royal power.

For a time, the iron ore on the west coast was sold out, and no kilogram was left except for the 500 kilograms specially transported to the Daisy Industrial Base.

Love Iman was so happy that she made a lot of money in this deal.

She was about to say goodbye immediately and said she was going to Beiyuan to buy iron ore and would come back in half a month.

Luo Lan grabbed her and took her to a remote tavern with a smile.

Aiman ​​hugged his arms and stared at Luo Lan carefully, afraid that he would feel like spring.

Luo Lan poured Eimman a glass of rum and asked, "Does my sister have anything to say to me?"

"No." Aiman ​​shook his head straightforwardly.

Luo Lan didn't care and started talking about the serious business.

"You don't have to rush to make money. Now it's just small money. Do you want to make big money?"

Luo Lan looked like a profiteer. Ai Yiman's ears were raised: "Of course, what tricks do you have?"

Luo Lan took out a map of the Central Sea from his arms.

The Central Sea is located in the middle of the eastern ocean of the Nolan continent, and is more than one month away from Sophia's East Bay.

The northern country is north of the Central Sea. Immortal usually travels north, and at most it can cross the Central Sea for three days. She will not continue to travel north because the north is too chaotic.

"Show me what the Central Sea is doing? Is the business in the Central Sea?" Ai Iman was puzzled.

The Central Sea is too far from Phuket Island, and it is difficult to do business.

Luo Lan smiled and pointed to an island on the Central Sea Ocean. This island is half a day away from the land and is the "land" of the famous pirate king Black.

Black grabbed the Central Sea's throat and asked for tolls from the passing fleet, making a lot of money for decades.

It is said that the population of his island has exceeded 50,000, forming a small-scale feudal country. Moreover, because he relies on the sea to eat, Black vigorously developed the navigation industry and his shipbuilding technology is quite advanced.

"Do you know Black?" Luo Lan looked at Ai Iman and asked. Ai Iman frowned and said angrily: "What are you doing?"

Ai Yiman suddenly became unhappy, and Luo Lan was a little surprised: "Why are you angry?"

"It's nothing, you keep talking." Ai Yiman raised his legs and glanced at Luo Lan with his squint eyes.

Luo Lan continued: "Blake is a pirate who can match the three major fleets, but he has no backing and will be slaughtered by the northern countries sooner or later. This is Black's fatal flaw and can be used."

Luo Lan said what Max told him, and was planning a plan in his mind.

Aiman ​​was a little surprised: "How can you know about Black when you squat on Bouge Island? Southerners seem to have never heard of him."

"A friend told me that he said that Black will definitely flee south in the future. He is a pearl in the ocean." Luo Lan pointed to Pirate Island. "I want to buy a boat, so I will do business with Black. Next time you go north to buy a few big boats from him, and then give him a box of gold coins, saying it was a gift for the prince."

Aiman ​​snorted: "Don't do it."

Luo Lan said in confusion: "You seem to be really angry, what's wrong?"

"Just buy a boat with the Northern Empire, there is no need to do business with Black."

"My purpose is not to do business, but to establish trade relations. If something happens to Black in the future, I will have a way here to let him go." Luo Lan explained, "This pearl is priceless."

Luo Lan explained carefully, Aiman ​​rolled his eyes, got up and left, clearly unwilling to do it.

Luo Lan was surprised, what was wrong

It happened that at this time, Mead's ship returned from the south. Mead rushed to see his pirate queen, but saw that the pirate queen returned to the ship with an unhappy look on her face.

Mead and Luo Lan were confused.

"Your Highness, you have angered Aiman," Midqi said, and Luo Lan spread his hands: "I don't know, I just talked to her about a big plan and it's like this."

Luo Lan told Mead about the big plan. After hearing this, Mead was amused and laughed: "Your Highness, you don't know. Black has been entangled with Eimman for several years. Every time he goes to Central Sea, Black will definitely come to harass him and annoy him."

Mead sat down, "Eimman has always resisted Black. She can actually rely on Black to become the real pirate queen, but she chose you. She has put all her destiny and hope on you. In the end, you want her to trade with Black again, and it would be strange if she is not angry."

It turns out to be like this

Luo Lan touched her chin, so Black was his "love rival"

Although she is not a true rival in love, the relationship between the three parties is destined to be disharmonious. If Ai Iman is a man, it doesn't matter at all, but she is a woman, and women are emotional. It is understandable that she resists Luo Lan's plan.

"Your Highness, the crew said that when Ai Iman arrived in the north, he was irritable and cold, and when he arrived in the south, he felt very happy. If it weren't for selling rum, she would definitely not want to go to the north. She wanted to do business near Phuket Island and Bishui Bay. She probably regarded you as someone you could rely on."

Mead whispered, with a little more sympathy on his face: "Love Iman is too bitter, too stubborn, and too beautiful. If such a woman refuses to compromise, she will definitely end up miserable. Your Highness must not use her trade with Black. Black doesn't care about money. He will seize this opportunity to make Love Iman compromise."

Mead spoke seriously, as if Luo Lan forced Eimman to trade.

Luo Lan smiled bitterly: "Look at what you said, it seems like I am a disheartened man. Go and tell Ai Yiman, just forget it if she doesn't want to. By the way, tell her that I rely on her very much, and I love her very much. I want to get her. Black is my Luo Lan's love rival."

Mead opened his mouth and left strangely.

On the port merchant ship, Aiman ​​grabbed his messy hair and looked at the fishermen in the distance, looking calm, obviously thinking about something big.

At this time, Mead came over. Before he could speak, Aiman ​​said first: "Tell Luo Lan that I promised to trade with Black."

Mead said ah, shook his head quickly and said, "No, no, Luo Lan said no, he relies heavily on you, loves you, and wants to get you, so Black is his rival in love, and he will not send you to his rival in love."

Aiman ​​was stunned for a moment, then cut it, threw the braid and went to the cabin to drink.
