Chapter 229: The King of Northern Ji, Finally Becomes His Master!

In addition to these aristocratic families, there are also many merchant families and famous families who have come to Lin Beifan. Although I can’t get the distribution rights of cement, I also hope to rank higher and get more tax incentives.

In this way, Lin Beifan received another 5 million taels.

So, through this construction of the city, Lin Beifan received a total of 25 million taels.

“Another big fortune, haha!” Lin Beifan was very happy, feeling that the hard work during these days was not in vain.

Now that you have collected the money, then do your job well!

Lin Beifan successively announced the families who obtained the cement distribution rights and the families who obtained the tax relief policy. And solemnly stated that as soon as the city is established, all rights will be opened up immediately, and they will be supported in setting up factories and doing business.

In this way, the matter was a foregone conclusion, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

And this matter quickly spread throughout the world, and shocked the world!

Back then, when the court received millions of disaster victims, many forces were waiting to see the joke!

You know, these millions of disaster victims have no house, no land, no food, no money. It can be said that they have nothing, but they have to consume food and supplies every day, which is an unimaginable burden for the court!

If it continues to be raised, it will definitely bring down the court!

If you don’t raise it, it will cause people’s hearts to scatter, and it will deal a huge blow to the court’s reputation!

They waited until the court couldn’t hold on anymore, and started an uprising!

But I never expected that in less than a month, Lin Beifan would actually revive her!

Through this miraculous invention of cement, a new city was built outside the capital, which solved the resettlement problem of the victims.

Also through the contribution system, famous families and merchants from all walks of life were attracted to donate money and materials.

Not only did it solve the most pressing problem of food and clothing for the victims, but it also solved a series of subsequent problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, and completely revitalized this new city!

The most frightening thing is that they can actually feed back the court and make the court rich.

This is really…

Turn decay into magic! ! !

While everyone admired Lin Beifan more, they also became more curious about cement.

Is this really an artifact for building houses, and that’s why everyone flocks to it?

If yes, can I own it?

So, experts were sent out one after another to inquire.

In the end, as Lin Beifan expected, cement has no technical barriers at all, and many people know how to do it just by looking at it. Take some samples and go back to tinkering, and you can make cement.

The land of northern Hebei, the palace.

The King of Jibei looked at Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser who rushed in excitedly, and asked anxiously: “Mr. General, how is the situation? Is it true?”

“If you go back to the prince, the subordinates have already sent people to look at it, and the situation is completely true!”

Mr. Zhuge said excitedly: “Zhuangyuan Lang really built thousands of houses in just a few days with the help of cement, a heaven-defying invention! Attracted to donate money and materials, which solved the food, clothing, housing and transportation problems of millions of victims! It also made the imperial court… a lot richer!”

King Jibei’s breathing became short of breath: “The cement…is it really that magical?”

“It’s absolutely true, my lord!” Mr. Zhuge looked very serious.

King Jibei became even more anxious: “Then contact Lin Jun quickly and get the cement production method!”

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, “Give him whatever he wants!”

Mr. Zhuge smiled indifferently: “My lord, there is no need, because the method of making cement has been taken back by my subordinates!”

“Really?” King Jibei’s eyes widened, he couldn’t believe it.

“How dare you lie to the lord?” Mr. Zhuge cupped his hands and said with a smile, “because the method of making cement is very simple, the people sent by the subordinates can learn it after just a glance! So lord, this time we don’t need to contact the champion man, and we don’t need to pay for it. , you can make cement yourself!”

“Really? That’s great! Haha!” King Jibei was overjoyed.

I don’t know how much heartache and pain are hidden in the laughter!

You know, how much did he pay for the two inventions in Lin Beifan’s hands?

Not only has the palace become poorer, but the entire northern Hebei economy has been depressed!

And now, you tell me that I don’t need to pay?

Can you make cement yourself?

Oh my god, I can’t imagine it at all!

The King of Jibei seemed to have broken free from the cage. He no longer needed to be exploited or oppressed. He felt like turning over to be his master!

“Hahahaha!!!” Cheerful laughter spread throughout the palace.

Even Mr. Zhuge, the military adviser, secretly wiped away his tears, weeping with joy.

After laughing, King Jibei’s mind became active.

Since Lin Beifan can raise supplies and amass money by selling cement, can he do it himself?

You know, he is very poor now and needs food and money very much!

So, he immediately expressed his thoughts.

“My lord, this subordinate feels that there is a lot to do!”

Mr. Zhuge smiled and said: “We can follow the example of Zhuangyuan Lang and introduce a contribution system! As long as whoever contributes enough food and materials, we will give him the right to sell cement! In this way, we can not only raise enough materials , and continue to earn money, which is beneficial to our great cause!”

“Not bad, not bad, not bad!” The prince smiled.

“And my lord, now is a golden opportunity!” Mr. Zhuge said excitedly: “On the side of Zhuangyuanlang, a new city needs to be built to sell cement, and it will take two or three months, but we can produce cement now! That’s it! As soon as we come, we can seize the opportunity and grab the merchants!”

“That’s right, that’s right, what you said is very reasonable, let’s snatch him over now!” The prince smiled even more happily.

“In addition to cement, Zhuangyuanlang has also introduced a series of preferential tax policies, which are said to have received a good response from businessmen! My lord, can we also…”

The prince frowned: “Reduce taxes for businessmen? Isn’t this equivalent to sending money out? It’s too late for this king to collect more taxes, so this policy is fine!”

“Yes, my lord!” Mr. Zhuge nodded.

His thinking is the same as the prince’s. This preferential tax policy is purely sending money out, and it is completely unnecessary.

With cement, the magical tool for building houses, are you afraid that you won’t be able to attract businessmen?

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have seen food and money flying towards them, and couldn’t help but smile at each other.

“Military division, I’ll leave it to you!”

“Don’t worry, my lord!”

Then, Mr. Zhuge rushed to deal with the matter.

Announced to the outside world that they can also produce cement, and now they are attracting investment from outside, hoping that those who are interested will come to invest.

It was so loud that it seemed like they were going to fight the imperial court!

There are also Wang Wuxi, Jiangnan Wang and others who are not reconciled to others. They have announced that they can also produce cement, and hope that all wealthy businessmen will come to vote. They are very welcome.

There are other feudal kings, too!

There seems to be a cement fever in the whole Great Wu!

In the early court, the empress called all officials to discuss countermeasures.

Only Lin Beifan looked calm: “Your Majesty, don’t take this matter to heart!”

The empress was taken aback: “Aiqing, why do you say that?”

“I said earlier that the method of making cement is not difficult, and they will be able to steal it sooner or later! However, it is not so easy to make money from cement. They have no such conditions at all!” Lin Beifan smiled triumphantly.

“Aiqing, don’t be tricky, can you tell me in detail!” the Empress urged.

“Okay, Your Majesty!” Lin Beifan said with his head held high and Zhizhu in his hands: “First, to make cement, you must have clay, limestone, and iron slag. All three are indispensable! Clay and limestone are easy to obtain. But iron slag will not work!”

“You know, iron ore is in the hands of our imperial court, and private mining is prohibited! And iron ore slag is the waste left over after blacksmithing! Therefore, in the whole world, only our imperial court has a large amount of iron ore slag, and other domains Wang doesn’t have this condition at all, so their production is restricted!”

Everyone nodded, and the empress said, “Aiqing, keep talking!”

“Second, even if they find these three items, production cost is a factor that cannot be ignored!”

Lin Beifan smiled triumphantly: “Weichen’s cement workshop can get a lot of limestone within five miles to the south. It can get a lot of high-quality clay within three miles to the west. It can get iron ore within seven miles to the north. Slag. Moreover, there are rivers running through the road, which can be transported by water, saving time and effort. In this way, the production cost is naturally greatly reduced!”

“But where can the princes find such favorable geographical conditions? Therefore, the cost of the cement they produce must be much higher than ours. How can they compete with us?”

The empress smiled: “Aiqing is right, is there any more?”

“Third, their market is not good!”

Lin Beifan talked eloquently: “Cement is mainly used to build houses. Only by selling the houses can you make money! This house is considered a luxury after all. Only rich people can afford cement houses! In other words, as long as Only when the people are rich can they afford a house!”

“However, let’s take a look at the land in northern Hebei. After experiencing the previous plague of horse bandits, many people ran away and the economy was depressed. Who can sell the house to?”

“Look at the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is relatively rich there, there was a flood and there was a big problem in food supply! Even the problem of food has not been solved, how can everyone care about living?”

< p>
“The land of Wuxi, you don’t need to look at it at all! All along, the king of Wuxi has been aggressive and robbed everything he can! The merchants have no time to protect themselves, so how dare they run to do business?”

“As for other places, the market is too small to support it at all! Merchants want to make money, who will do business that doesn’t make money?”

“Only our imperial court can support the huge cement market!”

“The capital city is right next to it, where the richest people in the country gather! When you have money, you are most willing to spend money on houses. The cement market is no problem at all!”

“Moreover, for more than a year, the territory ruled by our imperial court has been considered to be in good weather, no wars have occurred, the people are recuperating, and they have spare money in their hands. Naturally, they are willing to spend money on houses!”

Lin Beifan opened his arms and said excitedly: “This is the biggest advantage of our imperial court! We have the most extensive market, they don’t!”

The empress clapped her hands and applauded: “Well said! You are absolutely right!”.
