I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 728, Nanzhong Gate Clan
Sure enough, the suffering of human beings cannot be sympathized with. After Li Aimin knew that other partners were more miserable than them, his mood instantly improved a lot.

Li Aimin smiled and said, "Fortunately, we chose an island with copper mines, and this copper mine has a large output and high quality!"

The quality of this copper mine in Luzon is as high as 5%, which means that you can get almost 1 catties of copper ore by refining 5000 catties of copper ore. This kind of quality is almost invisible in Dahan, and the scale of this copper mine is also extremely Huge, tens of thousands of people are mining there, and the boundary of this copper mine has not been detected. Such a large-scale copper mine cannot be seen in Dahan.

To some extent, the output of this copper mine is more than that of the entire Dagan, and it can be regarded as the largest copper mine in the world.

Chen Aihua smiled bitterly and said: "What's the use of high quality? The output is not enough. We are just doing some hard work for those businessmen. If the government knows that we sell copper ore and copper ingots like this, I'm afraid they will be extremely disappointed with us. Back then they It taught us to extend the industrial chain and increase the value of commodities. What we are doing now is to sell the minimum value of a commodity. It can be said that both of us are unqualified students.”

Li Aimin said distressedly: "What can we do? We can't let savages smelt copper, and there are not many things that can be made from copper now. In addition to casting coins, we can also cast cannons, but where do we have cannon craftsmen!"

There are not many things that copper ingots can do. One is to make coins, the other is to make bronze mirrors, and the third is to make bronze wares. Among them, the role of copper mirrors is replaced by glass mirrors. It can be said that there are no bronze mirrors in Dagan. The market for copper ware is also being replaced by iron ware in large numbers. Although it has not completely disappeared, the market has declined sharply, and they dare not make copper coins. If the government knows that they are refining five-bead coins here Yes, I am afraid that the Senior Advisors will send a fleet to capture them back to Dagan, so they can only sell the copper ingots to the Dagan court to mint copper coins.

Finally, there is the copper bronze cannon with the highest value and the greatest effect. This is the most powerful weapon in the world, but the casting technology of the cannon is also extremely high, at least they can't get it in Luzon now.

But Li Aimin's words only reminded Chen Aihua, he thought for a while and said: "How about we find a way to get some money to build an artillery foundry, and buy an artillery production factory from the ruling party, so that the value of copper ingots can be increased. More than 10 times!"

"Not to mention whether such a military heavy weapon will be handed over to us, even if it is handed over to us, we don't have enough craftsmen to make artillery!"

Chen Aihua said: "Think of a way to recruit some craftsmen at a high price, and choose the simplest and least powerful four-jin small cannon to manufacture artillery casting. This kind of artillery is no longer used in Dagan. Big artillery is reduced to waste, if we buy it at a high price, the ruling party will definitely agree."

"After we cast the cannon, we sold it directly to Liu Bei. Now that he has money, he is also facing the siege of 10,000+ troops from Tianzhu. Obviously he needs the cannon the most now, and we sold the copper ingots back to Dagan together. It’s better to cast these copper ingots into cannons and sell them to Liu Bei, so you can earn more!"

Li Aimin thought it was the same reason, so he nodded in agreement.

Nanzhong!

This is the place where the entire Han clan gathers the most. Lu State, which has a relatively large land area in South China, occupies the relatively rich Red River Delta. The country is rich, large in size, and has a large population. It is relatively large among small and medium-sized forces in South China. country of one side.However, since Lu Bu fell out with the clans of the big Han, the development of the country has stagnated.
Outside the country of Lu, there is a circle of forces established by the big Han clan. These people first built a large Wubao, in which lived their own clansmen, and on the outskirts of Wubao were a group of villages, and the villagers were from Nanzhong. The savages, they have now become serfs of the powerful clan of the Han Dynasty, helping them reclaim the land and transform this southern wilderness world.

Of course, in order to resist the invasion of Lu Bu's forces, these aristocratic families formed alliances and even took refuge in Liu Bei, relying on Liu Bei's strength to resist Lu Bu.

At this time, Liu Bei devoted all his main military forces to the construction of Tianzhu, and he also wanted to fight against the coalition forces of Tianzhu, so Liu Bei not only sent Su Shuang, but also Zhang Shiping to Jidu to buy artillery, swords and other military equipment and food.

At the same time, he also dispatched Yuan Ji to Nanzhong, hoping that the noble families of these big men would support his war.

After all, Liu Bei now has to face 10,000+ coalition forces. These countries have a combined population of several million, while Liu Bei himself has only tens of thousands of troops. Some of these people have become grassroots officers, recruiting local people in Tianzhu for training, and As for some people, they transferred to the government affairs system to help Liu Bei rule the country, so for Liu Bei at this time, any support from one soldier to another is extremely important.

Now we urgently need the support of the big Han clansmen. After Yuan Ji returned to Nanzhong, he immediately summoned the clansmen in Nanzhong, and said to them sincerely: "Now Tianzhu is the place where the big Hans will be revived. The generals need your support. "

"Although Yuan Ji's words were impassioned, the powerful clans present here remained silent, and the scene was extremely quiet and embarrassing.

Half a day later, the patriarch of the Yang Clan, Yang Xiu, came out and said, "It's not that we don't want to help Duke Xuande, but that we are powerless. In the past ten years, we have first rushed from Hebei to the Central Plains, and then from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River. , and now I was driven to Nanzhong by Lei Gong. It can be said that every migration is a huge harm to us people. In more than ten years, my family has been hurt three times, and its strength is no longer enough. 1/10 of the peak period, if we want to support the general, we have more than enough heart but not enough power."

Yuan Jidao: "General, as long as you support some people, your nephews don't even need to go to the battlefield. You only need to send children from various families to help the general manage the country. Can you support it?"

But Yang Xiu said helplessly: "It's okay to send troops and money, but we are afraid that we will lose everything. Lei Gong likes to say that power and responsibility are equal. Today I am not polite to ask, now the general is doing more in Tianzhu than Lei Gong Lei Gong, to help the general, we have to pay not only food, grass and weapons, but also the lives of our children.

But what can we get?Is it Tianzhu's land wealth, or Tianzhu's rights?If there is nothing, why do we have to sacrifice our lives for the great general? Is it possible to build a great man based on the general's words? Our family is also loyal to the great man. Now we just want to continue the family! "
