Han Lao Liu trotted in one go. The man in his forties was more agile than a young man in his twentysomething.

Seeing Zhang Han and Li Shenming standing under the eaves of the courtyard corridor, Han Laoliu clasped his fists under the steps, and his waist was still standing straight. The miner shouted: "I have met Lord Zhang and Lord Li, I wish you all good health."

"Let's talk about it on the first day of the Lunar New Year." Zhang Han smiled and said, "I'm not sincere in saying New Year's greetings in advance."

"I have received a large red envelope, so I can save money on paying for a visit." Han Laoliu said deliberately: "The experiment was successful, and we started to practice zinc on a large scale before the new year."

“It’s much more convenient than using calamine?”

"That's it," Han Laoliu said: "Zinc is easy to refine, and it is melted and cast with copper, which saves a lot of things than before..."

The surrounding courtyards are all the offices of the Military and Political Department of the Military Orders. At that moment, the holiday was on the afternoon. Only officials who had not moved their families to Qingcheng would pick some of them on duty. They were already angry and did not think that Han Laoliu was so yelling. Many people came out to watch the fun and pointed at the matter of smelting brass.

The thing is obvious. With such a technique, it is much easier to make brass, and what follows is of course the increase in profits.

Tian Jitang came out of his hut and couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows and eyes. His black face looked much more pleasing.

Lao Tian was very troubled at this time. He made a big deal on the accounts sent by branches in various places every day. From the capital to Linqing, to the branches in Taiyuan, he cut the fees for social drinking by a large amount. The total amount was less than 100,000 yuan. I guess he would have to complain. However, these expenses were the size of Yusheng when he first opened the market. With his current status in the martial arts world and the situation where the market had already opened, this money could indeed be saved.

However, no matter how much you look, it is difficult to find a silver sausage of more than a thousand taels. The military command is close to you. The army's finances are very transparent. It is not necessary to produce. It is allocated by the finance department. It is clear how much money it costs. Tian Jitang dared not make drastic cuts on the cost of the army. Although it seems that there are some wastes, Zhang Han repeatedly explained that the soldiers killed their lives and deaths in the bitter and cold places in the extreme north. The canned food of 1,000 taels of silver will definitely be worth the loss.

Hearing Han Laoliu's words, Tian Jitang's face looked much better. The financial estimates were much more accurate than ordinary people. The time saved could be at least 400,000 taels of copper ingots. Due to the increase in brass production, it is not necessary to sell the military ingots, and it can be cast into copper ingots. In fact, the price of copper ingots is higher, and the long-term casting of copper ingots is regulated. The imperial court's copper coins are insufficient, so of course it will not encourage the people to cast copper ingots. The price of copper ingots in the Ming Dynasty remained high. In the past, it was because He Yusheng also had to cast coins. If the copper output could be greatly increased, the profit of casting copper ingots would definitely be above copper coins.

It may be that casting copper ware elsewhere will increase the cost and time, but it is too convenient to have too many high-end craftsmen in Heyusheng's hands.

If the profit of the copper ware is added, at least 200,000 taels will be added...

The winter sun shines on his face, Tian Jitang squinted his eyes and suddenly felt happy.

After entering the gate, Tian Jitang bowed to Zhang Han and smiled: "I will also ask you about Nian You in advance. Of course, I will definitely serve you on the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of the first day of

Zhang Han smiled and nodded. Seeing that the always-black financial supervisor looked in a good mood, it was obvious that he had confirmed the good news about the copper mine.

The copper mine also used a large number of prisoners, and the wages and expenses saved in one or two years are also quite small.

"Mr. Sun is here!"

At this moment, a sharp-eyed official shouted.

Everyone looked out the door, and they saw that Sun Jingting had just dismounted the horse on the stone outside the door, and he was tying the horse himself.

Zhang Han's eyes became hot. This half of his brother-in-law had such a temper. He looked unfair and honest when he was in the mine. Today, his status is far from comparable to that of the past, but his temper is still the same as he was back then. He is honest and upright, as clear as water. The important thing is to be loyal to official affairs. When he ran over so quickly, he must have business affairs.

"If you can go to the inner house, report it." Zhang Han ordered: "Let the inner house know that Sun Sizheng is back and make some preparations early."

When Sun Jingting came to Qingcheng, Zhang Han must ask him to come to the inner house for a banquet. He doesn't talk much about business in the inner house, but only says some common words. Of course, Yu Niang will accompany him. Although Sun Jingting and Yu Niang are just cousins, they have grown up together since childhood and have the same relationship with their own brothers and sisters.

"That seems to be Uncle Chang's Grandpa?"

"That's right."

"It's Chang Qu Zheng who is back."

Everyone's faces showed joy, and Zhang Han and Li Shenming had to walk out of the corridor and face the main entrance.

Another person who came to the inner house to report the news was more. Obviously, the scale of the banquet tonight must be adjusted accordingly.

"I've met Lord Taishan."

Zhang Han bowed and bowed down, and bowed down, with a very respectful manner in terms of etiquette.

The same was true for Li Shenming, and bowed: "I have met my uncle."

Li Shenming and Zhang Han are brothers who exchange posts. Chang Jinquan and Chang Jin have two brothers, and of course he also called his uncle.

"Wenlan, follow the road, don't be so polite." Chang Jinyou still looked a little restrained and uncomfortable. After bowing a little, he said to Zhang Han: "This time I come back with Xiaozheng, in addition to the New Year, there is still an important matter."

"How could Lao Taishan talk about business directly when he meets his son-in-law?" Li Shenming smiled and said to Sun Jingting: "Is it a matter of brass? Han Laoliu has come over and said that the large-scale experiment has been successful, which is indeed a great thing."

"It's not this." Sun Jingting pointed to the middle-aged man who had just tied his horse around him and said seriously: "Brother Song, do you still recognize him?"

When Li Shenming frowned, Zhang Han said: "The deputy director of the Technical Research Institute of Miscellaneous Bureau, Song Changgeng and Brother Song, right?"

Song Yingxing made an appointment, folded his fists and leaned over, saying, "Subordinate Song Yingxing wishes the Lord a happy birthday, but he didn't expect that the Lord really remembers the name of his subordinate."

"I still remember that you are from Jiangxi, and both brothers are juren. This time the technique of alloy copper refining is also the credit of your brothers." Zhang Han said in an encouragement tone: "It seems that Brother Xiaozheng brought me the brothers to see. In fact, I originally planned to call you brothers over after the beginning of spring. Now it's too hard to travel."

Song Yingxing and Sun Jingting both took a carriage to the military station before changing horses. It was a few miles away. They had been here by car before. There were stoves and snacks in the car, which were not hard at all. People who had taken the exam from Jiangxi to the capital, even if they were running around? In this era, when you walked from Jiangxi, there were sedan chairs, no sedan chairs, or riding horses and mules, sleeping on the wind and dining on the open all the way. You must also be careful of the bandits and bandits, who were not suitable for the environment, food was not in harmony, and if you had no hot water, you would get dysentery at any time. It can be said that in this era, people who were brave enough to leave their hometowns or had to be forced to go from Lizhuang to Qingcheng. It was only six or seven hundred miles away from Datong to Qingcheng. There was a flat grassland along the way, and there was no hard work to get by car.

However, Song Yingxing would not be so stupid as to say such things, and he just had a subtle smile on his face.

Sun Jingting was already impatient, and he snatched the words: "Can you not take it this way! This time, bringing Song Changgeng over is mainly a new technical concept. If it is done, you will add at least 400,000 yuan in net profit next year!"

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Li Shenming said: "Hurry up and say, don't keep it in the way!"

Chang Jinyou had already taken out the drawings and handed them to Zhang Han.

Everyone formed a circle, and many people couldn't get in front of them, as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

"Good idea, good design..." Zhang Han understood after looking at it for a quarter of an hour. The design of this hydraulic transmission power mainly depends on the inspiration for the rotation of the clock gears. He had no idea about hydraulic textile machines and thought that it was already available in the UK now. In fact, hydraulic textile machines will not appear in nearly a hundred years, but it does not prevent Zhang Han from understanding the exquisiteness of this design drawing. In fact, the first hydraulic textile machine had this idea. Hydraulic drives gears, gears drive spindles, and yarns spin up yarn according to the designed circuit.

"Wonderful, so wonderful!"

If Zhang Han hadn't been concerned about his image, he would have almost jumped up.

It is only a small matter to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars next year. Recently, the mainstream of various departments of the military department is to "find silver". Even in the military, senior officials have proposed to be frugal and not waste unnecessary. The military court is the most concerned about this matter, and of course it has not received clear support. Originally, the military court has been reviewing expenses in the military, but in fact it is unlikely to waste excessively.

What Zhang Han cares about is the future income. There is no shortage of large pieces of land on the grassland. Of course, a large number of herders were grazing on the territory of Inner Mongolia in later generations, but there were also quite a lot of cities and farming areas. In fact, the farming areas occupied too much land and damaged the natural environment. Later, large-scale "returning farmland to pastoral" and "returning farmland to forests" were forced to carry out. It is conceivable how much farmland has been reclaimed in the pastoral areas of Inner Mongolia.

With the sufficient manpower, equipment and supplies are sufficient. Perhaps in a few years, the annual cotton income is calculated in tens of millions of kilograms, and tens of millions of lint is 20 million pieces of cloth, which is enough to squeeze Songjiang cloth away and Shandong cloth. If the entire northern market is taken over, it is calculated as at least 80 million to 100 million people in the north. At least 30 million or more cloth will be consumed a year. Although not everyone will make new clothes every year, the wear rate of clothes is very high. As the height and body shape changes, new ones must be made. Wealthier families will make more clothes, and the amount of cloth consumed is amazing.

The annual sales volume of 34 million pieces of cloth is also a net income of 1.5 million. Moreover, after monopolizing the market, it will definitely be more than an average income of 5 million pieces per bus.

The annual income of 1.5 million to 2 million is equivalent to the increase of He Yusheng's income by one-third or more. How can Zhang Han not be excited?
