Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 388 : Chapter 161 Daming Mining

The iron produced here is more than ten million catties every year, and it is marketed all over the world. The place where the mining industry is most concentrated and produced the most in Daming used to be the iron factories from Mentougou to Zunhua, but now it belongs to the private mining group in Wuhu.

The group of Jinjian in front of them is playing around in the north, collecting grain and selling salt, and smuggling strategic items.

But the north is playing around, and the south is out of play. Wuhu Iron Industry is controlled by the southern scholar bureaucrats and big businessmen. These people are very angry when they see Shanxi merchants. They are rivals. Show it to Shanxi merchants?

The problem now is not that Shanxi merchants are forced to raise prices or sold at high prices, but because iron is getting scarcer. In the Wuhu area, northern merchants can’t buy pig iron even if they pay. It’s as simple as two words: out of stock!

Xue Guoguan knew some of the reasons for this, but he didn't quite understand some of it, so he could only listen with a frown. [

Lin Wenyuan on the one side listened with gusto. Because of selling salt, they and Zhang Shouren had scrutinized the Ming Dynasty's salt policy. Zhang Shouren once said with a smile that this kind of system is very rotten.

But at this time, the stupid system is their opportunity.

This iron industry is also so rotten, Lin Wenyuan, the former Xiaoqi official and now the Qianhu official, heard it in his ears, and his thoughts moved quickly.How can this matter be connected with Fushan, and how should it work?

While he was thinking, Xue Guoguan also spoke on the other side: "The old man understands the meaning of the gentlemen. Anyway, I will write a letter to the governor of Fengyang. How much iron do you want to buy? Send someone with the old man's handwritten letter to ask him for advice. that is."

"It's so good, I thank you, Mr. Ge!"

Master Kang Dong seemed to jump up, and his voice was very happy.

Fan Yongdou followed closely and expressed his gratitude to Xue Guoguan.The rest of the Shanxi merchants naturally followed suit.

"Please come back, gentlemen. The amount of food promised will arrive as soon as possible. The old man is tired, so I won't keep you gentlemen."

Both Mr. Xue Ge and the merchants knew that the other party was a very shrewd person. These merchants were obviously stumped by the problem of iron shortage. No matter how they want to sell the governor of Fengyang to save face, their problem of buying iron is thus solved.

Excited, the fox's tail also showed a little bit, and he looked so happy. Obviously, he had discussed the handicap conditions when he came here, and he was waiting for Xue Guoguan to agree.

The dignified old man was held hostage by a group of businessmen, and he had to agree to the terms of the other party, and these businessmen did not have the slightest intention of serving the country. In their hearts, the price of grain in the capital has nothing to do with them... It is even possible that, in order to get What they want, these big grain merchants deliberately use the current favorable excuse to deliberately raise the price of grain, and it is not impossible.

Yeleu got worse, after talking with the merchants for so long, Xue Guoguan really felt tired, and he was not in the mood to continue perfunctory, so he naturally opened his mouth to chase the customers.

"Yes, please rest early."

Kang Shaodong is the most savvy, his thoughts move faster than anyone else despite being fat.Knowing that Xue Guoguan was not feeling well at this moment, and that after staying here for a long time, he would change if he was too late, so he immediately agreed, gave a salute, turned around and backed out.
