From the gate of heaven

Chapter 129 [I am in luck, making money is the second best thing]

If it is calculated based on the monthly production of 7.5 tons of chemical fertilizer, and each kilogram of chemical fertilizer is sold for 20 cents, then Lin Ze can get a total sales volume of 300 million taels of silver.

Because the fertilizer factory is a big business that increases grain production, the Zhou court gave it a five-year tax exemption policy.

Because the power facilities are owned by oneself, only 3.3 taels of raw materials and labor costs need to be deducted, resulting in a net profit of 296.7 million taels of silver per month, which is almost 7.8 million in main world currency.

The money earned is not generated out of thin air, but is about half the value of the food grown due to fertilizer.

These profits are the total profits that thermal power stations and fertilizer plants can get in a month, which can basically offset the cost of investment and construction of factories.

Converted into gold, it is almost 29.67 taels.

This gold is transported to the main world for sale, and is directly worth 66.7 billion.

"Hey, is it so profitable? I used to think that I need to pay back my capital slowly. It will take a long time to make back the money I invested in building a fertilizer plant and a thermal power station. Unexpectedly, I paid back my capital within a month, and the rest It’s all pure profit.”

"That's right, my price is a full ninety times profit margin."

Lin Ze silently calculated the money he could earn from the fertilizer plant, and felt a sense of unintentional surprise.

You know, Lin Ze was prepared to lose money when he started to engage in chemical fertilizers, but he didn’t expect that he not only didn’t lose money, but also made a lot of money.

Lin Ze can calculate this profit figure, and so can the two Tianhuang nobles.

But they didn't feel envious or jealous, because Lin Ze had told them before that it cost almost 600 million taels of silver to invest in building the factory.

Ji Kan and others believe this, because some high-grade materials require repeated refining to obtain. It seems that the strength has only increased a little, but the cost has increased thousands of times.

This is an extremely high figure that directly dissuades the two Tianhuang nobles from investing in the company.

八亿换成银子就是差不多300万两银子，300万两银子异界换成30万两黄金价值差不多67亿，67亿再回主世界换成银子就是两千600万两左右，这很合理。

After investing so much, it is reasonable to earn 300 million taels of silver a month.

After hearing Lin Ze's pricing principles, Ji Kan did not express any objection and said with a smile: "Ziyi, since 12.5 tons of fertilizer can already meet our needs for managing the southern and northern barbarians, then it is better to sell all the excess fertilizer to how do I?"

"According to what you said, this fertilizer factory can produce 100 million tons of fertilizer a year. I can pay a deposit in advance and buy the remaining 87.5 tons of fertilizer at a price of 20 cents per catty."

Hearing this, Lin Ze frowned.

He glanced at Ji Kan, and after a moment's thought, he figured out what he wanted to do: "Do you want to use these fertilizers to grow medicinal herbs?"

Ji Kan nodded and said:

"Well, as you said, if chemical fertilizers are used to grow food, one acre of land can increase the production of three to four hundred kilograms of food, and the benefits created are only about two taels of silver. If chemical fertilizers are used to grow medicinal materials, one acre of land may easily create one It’s worth ten taels or even 20 taels of silver a year.”

"After I heard you talk about chemical fertilizers, I sent someone to carefully investigate and understand the knowledge related to the growth of medicinal materials, and found that if fertilization is used, it can indeed be used to increase the yield of medicinal materials."

"Nowadays, when elixirs are grown, some animals are killed to provide nutrients for the elixirs, and even some less rare medicinal materials are used to prepare fertilizers. If chemical fertilizers are available, these costs can be saved."

"I know Ziyi that you have the heart to help the world. The meat of these animals slaughtered to grow elixirs can be saved and put into the market to improve people's livelihood."

On the side, Ji Qingyan said:
"Although there are many medicinal fields and mountains throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, in order to restore the soil fertility, these medicinal fields and mountains are used on a rotating basis. The elixirs produced each year are limited. If chemical fertilizers can be used to grow medicinal materials, one year may be enough. The profit is more than tens of millions of taels."

"With so much money, the three of us will have no shortage of cultivation resources to reach the realm of gods and humans. Ziyi, if you agree to my request, I can teach you the peerless magical skill "Zhoutian Magic" practiced by the disciples of my clan in the Great Zhou Dynasty. "

"If I hadn't promised the emperor to help him calm down the border troubles, I would even want to regret it at this time."

At the end, Ji Qingyan sighed with regret.

After consuming chemical fertilizers and huge energy, he could earn millions of taels a year by quelling border troubles, but most of these millions of taels needed to be given to Lin Ze, and even less would fall into their hands.

After this calculation, it is indeed better to use chemical fertilizers to grow elixirs.

Faced with the ways of making money proposed by the brother and sister, and even the temptation of peerless magical skills, Lin Ze refused without hesitation: "No, all these fertilizers must be used to increase agricultural production, including the fertilizers produced by the production line of my fertilizer factory later. , and all of it must be used to increase agricultural production.”

"After the national agricultural production is finally satisfied, we will then consider using it to grow medicine as you mentioned."

It is not difficult for Lin Ze to obtain the peerless magical skill at this moment. The enlightenment method and the Nine Transformations of Condensation that he is practicing at the moment are part of the peerless magical skill.

After a while, it will be the time for Mingyue Tower to sort out its financial report for the year. Zhao Cheng dispatched coal to save fuel costs for the sect, and also opened up more armor and weapons business, making a huge contribution. Being taught the peerless magic is already A sure thing.

When the time comes, Lin Ze can completely open the Heavenly Gate and watch Zhao Cheng learn the peerless magic skills.

After all, Lin Ze is also a non-staff disciple of Mingyue Tower, so it is normal for him to learn the sect's magical skills.

In addition to this unorthodox channel, in the next period of time, when chemical fertilizers are popularized, border troubles are calmed down.

Could it be that if Lin Ze approached Emperor Ji Yuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty to apply to learn peerless magical skills, would he still refuse Lin Ze?
Lin Ze worked so hard to build a thermal power station and a fertilizer factory in this other world not just to make money, but to have a large-scale impact on the rise and fall of the fate of the entire world and gain luck.

Ji Kan's idea of ​​using chemical fertilizers to grow elixirs would only affect the fortunes of a small number of people, and would not be conducive to Lin Ze's gaining more luck.

If it was just to make money, Lin Ze could do easier things, such as researching and selling rare resources from both worlds, which would be better than the hard work he is doing now.

Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan both looked unhappy after being forcefully rejected by Lin Ze.

With such a large amount of money in front of you, it is out of reach, and no one will look good.
-
After Lin Ze forcefully rejected Ji Kan and Ji Qingyan, his expression softened a little, and he smiled and said comfortingly: "I haven't talked to you carefully before, do you think that our main income from pacifying the Southern Barbarians and Northern Mu will come from your royal brother? The reward is allocated from the saved military expenditure?"

Is not it?
Ji Kan, Ji Qingyan, brother and sister had the same doubts on their faces and nodded.

Although Lin Ze told them that they could make money by opening mines and weaving by opening textile factories, they subconsciously felt that it would be good if these industries could earn tens of thousands and 10,000+ taels a year, and more benefits would lie with their brother. Additional rewards given.

They were satisfied with this income before because they did not see the huge benefits brought by chemical fertilizers. Now that they have seen a brighter future, they will naturally be dissatisfied.Lin Ze continued: "Do you know how much money my coal mine can make in a year?"

Ji Kan thought for a while and said, "You have more than 10 people in this mine. I think you can earn at least [-] taels a year."

Lin Ze gave an actual figure and said: "Now the number of miners has expanded to nearly 2, and the annual income exceeds one million taels of silver."

After a pause, and after Ji Kan digested it, Lin Ze continued:

"There are millions of people in the South Barbarians, and the number of young people who can be mobilized is conservatively estimated at 30 to 40. If each young man provides us with a profit of 20 taels of silver in the mines a year, that is 600 million to 800 million. two."

"Similarly, there are 300 million people on the grassland because the living environment here is even worse. It is conservatively estimated that there are 200 million young people. The output of the pasture is not as much as that of the mine. At least one person can provide a profit of 5 taels of silver a year. , here is at least tens of millions of taels a year."

"After we start to pacify the Southern Barbarians and Northern Mu, their population will begin to skyrocket, and they will need more food to feed them, and their population will increase year by year, which can feed us more profits."

"It doesn't matter if the medicinal materials are planted a little late. This is a snowballing opportunity to make money in the frontier, but if you are late a year, you will lose tens of millions of taels of silver."

Lin Ze didn't tell Ji Kan and others any nonsense about prioritizing people's livelihood and earning luck for himself. Instead, he directly exploited their weaknesses and tried to appease them based on their own interests.

The two Tianhuang nobles were both smart people. After thinking about it for a while, they realized that what Lin Ze said made sense.

Lin Ze not only makes money for himself, but also allows the people who follow him to make money together. He does his best to work without whipping people.

Relying on your own efforts, the more you work, the more you get, how decent it is.

But in this case, Lin Ze's coal mine can still generate profits of millions of taels a year. From this, it can be deduced that Lin Ze's management method is very efficient and useful. Even the people in the Central Plains eat Lin Ze There is no reason why the southern barbarians and northern herders should not accept this.

Taking a long breath, the two of them calmed down their restless emotions.

At this time, Ji Qingyan took the initiative to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Ziyi, I'm really overwhelmed by the resources required for practice on weekdays. I feel even more stressed when I think about the skyrocketing cost of practice every day after I become a peerless master in a few years. They’ve all become short-sighted.”

"It's better to follow your plan."

She has a temperament that can be taken up and let go, and she doesn't hesitate to admit when she is wrong.

Ji Kan nodded aside and apologized.

A small conflict was eliminated just like that.
-
At this time, Lin Ze asked curiously: "Actually, I have a question, why has your royal brother not thought of summoning me or coming to Fengping County to see me in person for so long?"

There was no respect for the emperor in his words, but Ji Kan and the two of them were used to it.

They knew that Lin Ze grew up in an environment where everyone was equal and only recognized truth in the Gate of Truth, and he was not specifically targeting anyone.

Firearms and industrial power, now under the leadership of Lin Ze, can be regarded as showing the tip of the iceberg in the Zhou Dynasty.

According to Ji Yuan's keen intuition about firearms, he should vigorously win over Lin Ze at this time, but the fact is that it has been several months and Ji Yuan still has not made any move.

Lin Ze occasionally took the time to look at the scenery of the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and found that the emperor Ji Yuan was not too busy. In addition to spending an hour or two dealing with state affairs, he spent a lot of time practicing martial arts or summoning many ministers. Banquet.

There was no sense of tension caused by the imminent death of Ji Yu, Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"busy."

Ji Kan replied.

Although perfunctory, it is the truth.

Lin Ze was thoughtful.

Now Lin Ze already knew one thing. The royal family of the Zhou Dynasty in this different world was the top power.

All human settlements in other corners of the world are not worth mentioning compared to the Great Zhou. They have long been wiped out by the many masters here in the Great Zhou who went out to gather wool over and over again, and the Taizu of the Great Zhou is the whole area. No. 1 in heaven and earth.

After his death, there will be huge turmoil.

The first is that without Ji Yu, with the current strength of the Zhou royal family, it is a question whether the situation can be stabilized and current interests maintained.

The second is how to distribute the many properties in Ji Yu's name after his death.

Although Ji Yuan is nominally the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, his personal military power and the power under his name are definitely not at the level that is guaranteed within the royal family, so he has been trying to win over all parties recently to stabilize the internal affairs.

Although the matters here in Fengping County are important, they are not urgent and need to be dealt with, so they are left to the two brothers and sisters.

"Ziyi doesn't need to worry. Now that the fertilizer has been successfully produced, the edict for the title of knight should be issued soon."

"I have inquired before that you will be granted the title of earl this time. You will be promoted to marquis in the autumn harvest, and you will be the duke after you pacify the southern barbarians and northern herders. If you perform meritorious services in the future, you may be granted the title of king."

Ji Qingyan smiled and comforted him, thinking that Lin Ze wanted to ask for credit in person when he asked about Ji Yuan's affairs.

Although the Gate of Truth is powerful and mysterious, Lin Ze himself has the idea of ​​​​taking root in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is obvious to Ji Kan and his sister. Since they have such thoughts, it will be very important to get the approval of the master. Important things.

Because of this, Lin Ze showed his value.

As soon as Lin Ze saw Ji Qingyan's expression, he knew that she had misunderstood, and without explaining, he nodded and said: "I will have the last batch of firearms delivered to you at the designated location tomorrow, and then all firearms transactions will be temporarily ended. If you need bullets later, come back to me to buy them."

"Then, the fertilizer production here has ended, and it will be sold to Fengping County and several surrounding counties, and then the remaining part that cannot be digested will be sold to the entire Mingguang Prefecture."

"Your Highnesses, you can take the first step and go to Beiguan and Fufeng County to start preliminary preparations. This is the plan. When you complete the preliminary preparations next month, I will come to discuss the handover with you for the next step. Work."
