Three Kingdoms: My Army Formation Is Too Invincible!

Chapter 14

Chapter 14 Iron Ore Mining Plan, Financial Issues! (Please ask for flowers and votes!)

Hearing that, Chen Chong and Zhang Liao were shocked.

The two looked at each other, and there was a deep ecstasy in their eyes!

iron ore!

what does this mean?

You know, in this era, iron is an important strategic resource.

Whether it is armor making or weapon making, iron is inseparable.

If there is no raw material, no matter how good a craftsman is, no amount of financial resources can make a good weapon.

At present, Dahan implements the government-run system of salt and iron.

Several large iron ore mines are firmly controlled by the state governor.

For example, Youzhou governor Liu Yu, Liangzhou governor Dong Zhuo, Jizhou governor Han Fu.

The power of these places was so strong in the early stage of the Three Kingdoms, to a large extent, because of the existence of iron ore!

And now, iron ore has actually been discovered on the site controlled by Chen Chong.

This is definitely a great surprise!

It is the foundation for Chen Chong to participate in the battle for hegemony in the future!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Chong calmed down and asked in a deep voice.

“Who else knows this news?”

In his eyes, a murderous intent has already passed.

The existence of iron ore is a secret and must not be disclosed.

After all, his current power is still too weak.

Those aristocratic families are a pack of wild wolves. If they are coveted, they will eat Chen Chong without bones.

Guo Jia smiled calmly: “Don’t worry, I know the stakes.”

“As soon as I got the news, I already controlled those migrant workers.”

“The government takes care of family members as hostages, and at the same time seals them up with a lot of money.”

“In addition, I have also sent people to completely seal off the iron ore for ten miles, and there will never be any wind.”

Chen Chong nodded in satisfaction.

As expected of Guo Jia, he does things well and does not reveal anything!

Guo Jia continued to report.

“I have also secretly asked someone to explore it. The reserves of this iron ore are very large, enough to create 100,000 armors and 200,000 Dahan-style long knives!”

Chen Chong was shocked again, and the joy in his eyes became stronger.

Is the scale of this iron ore actually so big?

So many armors and weapons are enough to arm a 100,000 troops.

In this era, if you can have one hundred thousand sharp warriors with armor, it is enough to become a terrifying force to make the world’s princes jealous!

Zhang Liao was trembling with excitement.

He was very grateful for his decision at the moment.

Choosing to follow Chen Chong is absolutely correct!

He has seen the great potential of Chen Chong!

“but…”

Guo Jia’s conversation turned, and his face became a little embarrassing.

“Iron ore is just a dead thing after all. If you want to turn it into a usable ordnance, you need specialized equipment and a lot of skilled blacksmiths.”

“These things are not available in Zhongling, and they need to be purchased and recruited.”

“However, the principal of Zhongling’s financial situation should also be very clear. It is very tight to maintain normal operations, not to mention the development of iron ore.”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia was also helpless.

money.

Everything is a matter of money.

It’s hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, even if he has superior intelligence and skill, he can’t make money out of thin air!

Chen Chong gave a wry smile.

As soon as the cannon rang, gold was ten thousand taels.

To contend for hegemony in the world requires not only strong military strength, but also a lot of financial support.

It is precisely because of this that all princes will actively win over aristocratic families.

Liu Bei can make a comeback with the aid of the Mi family.

Only by relying on the support of the Zhen family can Yuan Shao defeat Gongsun Zan and dominate the north.

But this path, for Chen Chong, does not work.

His background is too low, and his influence is also very weak.

Moreover, he didn’t want to look at the faces of those aristocratic families and act.

As for the behavior of digging graves and borrowing money from the ancients, like Cao Cao, it is not appropriate.

It doesn’t care about moral issues, but can’t do it.

After all, Chen Chong can only control the three-acre land in Zhongling County.

There are no ancient tombs here since ancient times in a place where the frontier is bitter and cold.

There are many places of ancient tombs in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and he is beyond reach.

If you want to raise money, you have to start elsewhere!

Chen Chong pondered for a moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he whispered softly.

“Bongxiao, don’t worry, I will solve the money problem.”

Guo Jia was taken aback.

solve?

How to deal with it?

Isn’t the lord trying to scrape oil from the people?

A look of worry appeared on his face, and he quickly persuaded him.

“Lord, the development of iron ore is important, but the people’s support is even more important!”

“The tax burden of the people of Zhongling is already very heavy. You can only lightly pay a small amount of money, and you must not increase taxes!”

“Moreover, our army must not looting like the Yellow Turban army!”

“That way, although it can accumulate money and get prosperity for a while, it will not last long if the popular support is lost!”

Chen Chong laughed and waved his hand.

“Bong Xiao, where did you want to go!”

“Tax increases, looting, you don’t need to talk about this kind of thing, I can’t do any of them!”

“Make money, easy!”
