Lin'an, Wenfu.

Cai Jianwen picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the tea, looked at Wenyuan a little confused, and wondered:

"Brother Wen, Mr. Mao has made a public stock transaction, and he said he wanted to sell the shares of Sanlu Zhuang Powder. I don't understand it. Sanlu Zhuang Powder is now selling crazy. I can still make 60 coins after selling 100 coins of Sanlu Zhuang Powder. I really can't think of any kind of business that would be better than this number of business! Mr. Mao actually wants to sell the shares of Sanlu Zhuang Powder, which makes people unable to understand it, and I can't understand it!"

Wen Yuan smiled and said:

"Brother Cai, you don't know what you know. Selling stocks is not about selling them at the original price. For example, your 600-yuan stock may be able to sell 1,000-yuan and 2,000-yuan stocks. Whatever the price is, you are priced. If someone is willing to buy at this price, then the transaction will be made. If the price is high and you don't want to buy, then the transaction will not be made. Anyway, one is willing to sell the other is willing to buy. I think, if the price is low, my brother may not be able to sell it."

Wen Yuan had limited knowledge of stock exchanges, and he only retweeted it based on the brief description of Mao Geng’s Fei Ge’s letter.

"As you say that, just shout for a price!"

Seeing that Cai Jianwen was still confused, Wen Yuan could not explain his doubts, so he smiled and said:

"Anyway, you don't sell it, so you can wait and see it first. I've already told you that this is a good thing. My brother said it's only good and no harm to you. Hehe, you can move forward and retreat freely. I've said this. You won't object to this matter, right?"

Cai Jianwenxin said that Mr. Mao sold his shares and was inconvenient to argue with him, but he wouldn't be able to sell it anyway.

He smiled heartily and said:

"Mr. Mao will never object to the decision next. This time is no exception."

This time, the Cai Jianwen family was determined to win the six technologies and was preparing to buy all the production licenses for the six technologies in Fujian All the way. However, after Mao Geng asked Wenyuan to communicate with Cai Jianwen, the Cai family stopped and did not join in the fun this time. In fact, there were many merchants in Quanzhou, including many outstanding people, so there were too many people who wanted to grab the production licenses for the Fujian All the way, and the competition was very fierce. The Cai family wanted to compete, of course, and the Cai family also had the advantages of the Cai family, but if they wanted to monopolize all, they would inevitably become the target of public criticism.

The Cai family received Mao Geng's promise and would have better investment opportunities for the Cai family in the future. How smart Cai Jianwen is? He compared it. Instead of scrambling business with various merchants, it would be better to follow Mao Geng and do a unique business and make huge profits easily. Just like the Sanlu makeup powder business, the profit in a month is over 10,000 yuan. Cai Jianwen has already experienced Mao Geng's skills. In Cai Jianwen's mind, Mao Geng is almost equivalent to the God of Wealth. Regarding the will of the "God of Wealth", Cai Jianwen thinks that only fools will violate it.

Seeing that this matter was not complicated, Wen Yuan said another thing:

"Brother Cai, my brother finally figured out one thing. He is planning to set up a tile shop in the Special Administrative Region, including brothels. Your Shen family is familiar with each other. If there are sisters who want to go to the Special Administrative Region to develop, you can go now. I have already disclosed this news to you as soon as possible, so you can make arrangements as soon as possible."

Cai Jianwen was shocked and asked in surprise:

"When did Mr. Mao change his sexual desire? Didn't he always refuse to make these things in the SAR before?"

"I think, it's better to be out of the way. Now there are 15,000 people in the Special Administrative Region, and 20,000 people will soon be in the Special Administrative Region. There are more men and fewer women. What is the long-term solution! As time goes by, people cannot keep them! But if you do that business in the Special Administrative Region, the business will definitely be excellent. Think about it, the income of the Special Administrative Region is higher than that in Lin'an. It is common for two or three times higher, so the business will be booming."

"This is true, but I don't have that interest, so I can get along with Sanyuanlou. They were also familiar with Mr. Mao, and I guess they had the idea to get a share of the pie."

When the two thought about it, Mao Geng had always been forbidden to brothels in the Special Administrative Region. The women who had entered the Special Administrative Region were either family members or servants. Few beautiful and educated women went to the Special Administrative Region, which made the entertainment industry in the Special Administrative Region seriously lag behind other areas of the Song Dynasty, and even could not compare to a small town. This was a bit out of place with the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. It was indeed time to change the course.

According to the strength of Sanyuanlou, you may be willing to open a branch in the Special Administrative Region.

Speaking of the SAR, there are more men and fewer women, and there are serious shortage of resources for women. Before that, Wen Yuan had already done what he could do, such as sending women to the SAR by buying maids.

Some time ago, Cai Jianwen had been helping Wenyuan buy maids in Lin'an and Fujian, and then sending them to Kaohsiung. However, this practice had flaws after all, and such maids were only a few dozen. After being sent, most of them became female workers in the Special Administrative Region Group. However, because this kind of transaction had flaws in the law, Mao Geng felt that it didn't matter if the number was too large, it was better to ensure that there were no loopholes in the law.

Strictly speaking, this dynasty prohibited women from buying and selling, but there were policies and countermeasures from above. The Song Dynasty said: "Hraining people as maids is limited to ten years. The number of people who are transferred to employment within the limit is calculated, and the price should be calculated." As a result, hiring people was operated by the underworld and accomplices including local governments. Most of them became lifelong transactions. Originally, it was an employment relationship, but in many cases it would become a personal transaction. For example, concubines in the Song Dynasty were actually mostly contractual, for three or five years, but there were many things like giving concubines as gifts to others.

Regarding the Song Dynasty's approach to playing the edge, Mao Geng believes that it may not be a big deal for individuals, but for the SAR group, there are at least no need to do the legal loopholes.

While the Special Administrative Region has released the tile and tiles, according to Mao Geng's estimate, with the driving force of these industries, the ratio of men and women in the Special Administrative Region will naturally be improved in the future, and there will be no need for Wen Yuan to send maids to the Special Administrative Region in fragmented manner.

The two laughed and laughed for a while, feeling relaxed that Mao Geng made the correct decision that suited the characteristics of the Song Dynasty.

*******

However, Xin Qiji received the imperial edict and became the president of Wugang Holdings. Xin Qiji had a decisive personality, and was familiar with Yongping Copper Farm, so he immediately began to recruit soldiers and recruited more than 200 craftsmen and managers who were familiar with mining and smelting.

The Xiang army mobilized by the imperial court was drawn from various places. Except for the Xiang army in Jiangxi, a considerable number of them could arrive before the New Year, and the rest had to wait until after the New Year. However, various tasks were urgent. Xin Qiji did not wait for the staff to be well-organized, and when the first batch of 300 Xiang army arrived, he took action without hesitation.

Two days ago, under the guidance of Fu Ziyun and Fugui, the first pot of zinc was made. This was just an experimental zinc smelting furnace. The zinc smelting furnace was very limited, but this experimental furnace smelting zinc opened the layer of window paper. Those craftsmen with many years of smelting experience could understand it at all. At this point, the next step was to sort zinc ore ore and build multiple zinc smelting furnaces to smelting zinc. This made Xin Qiji very excited.

What we are going to conduct today is another key test - blasting test. No one of the miners and smelters in the Song Dynasty had seen it before. Most people, including Xin Qiji, were skeptical.

"Sir Xuan Xin, the pit has been dug."

Wang Linshan, commander of the Xiang army, came over to report.

"Okay, go and have a look."

Xin Qiji waved his hand and helped him back. Fu Ziyun followed Xin Qiji to the dug cave.

This cave is a hole dug in the stone. It is excavated along the cracks of the rocks, so it is very irregular. It can be seven or eight steps away when it is digging down in an oblique manner, and the depth is four steps deep.

I drilled into the hole and checked it. I felt that it was already good to be able to dig this way in the cracks of the rocks. The effect of the explosion should be enough.

Fugui then stuffed a bag of gunpowder, cloth bag and gunpowder into the deepest part of the hole, and connected the trigger to a long fuse. After careful inspection, it was confirmed that it was correct. Wang Linshan and others carefully filled the soil, filled it up and pressed it tightly, and then gave up after pressing five layers of soil on the gunpowder bag.

With Wang Linshan's order, everyone ran out a mile away.

Only the helper was left, and the long fuse was pulled to the edge of a large rock. Finally, checked it again, and after confirming that it was correct, the fuse was ignited.

The next moment, a huge shock came from the earth, and then a muffled thunder exploded, and the earth and rocks flew all over the sky.

Fu Gui got up from behind the big rock, shook off the soil on his body, and then looked at a huge pit in front of him. The pit was six or seven feet deep and three feet in a radius. I didn’t expect that such a pit could be blown out from the hard rock. It was a miracle!

Xin Qiji looked at this big pit and thought to himself that the power of gunpowder was as strong as this. If gunpowder was used to attack the city, could the city wall still block the attacker?

Wang Linshan was picking up stones everywhere at this time. He picked up a few golden stones and shouted:

"Sir Xin, look, this should be copper ore! Look, there, there, there, there, it's flying everywhere."

"Well, it seems that the method of blasting is better. Mining like this is the result of twice the result with half the effort." The rocks are stacked here, so mining is extremely difficult. Smugglers regard it as a daunting path. Now that they have such a good method, they finally don't have to worry about the difficulty of mining.
