The shares were finally confirmed, and the government invested in land, equipment and labor, accounting for 40% of the shares.

Fuchun Sun and Zhu (Guzhen/Wuxian) invested stakes through technology, capital and freight channels, accounting for 30% of the shares.

Gu's money, a lot of money, and it accounts for 10% of the shares.

Lu's purchase of raw materials and capital investment, occupying 10% of the shares.

Finally, some scattered officials paid money and divided the last one into shares evenly.

One thing is very conspicuous, that is, this time, I opened an official papermaking workshop, but I still didn’t bring the Wei family in Wuxian to play with me.

Wei Teng was so angry that he resigned from office and went home. He didn't want to be angry anymore!

The papermaking workshop is located on the edge of Songjiang River and is built in small batches, with little sewage discharge.

How severe can this ancient method of papermaking have? Besides, the progress of this civilization has been achieved through sacrificing the natural environment?

Only when people have a better life will they consider protecting the environment and making themselves more comfortable.

This foundation cannot be achieved, so it’s not interesting to worry about it!

"So the papermaking workshop was built and the salt fields were built... I feel like I'm making money this year..." Sun Cebai lay bored on his desk. He was government affairs every day, and even if Cai Yan helped, he was still bored.

They wanted to go out to hunt and go out to fight, but Cao Cao and Lu Bu had no intention of fighting this year.

It seems that winter is about to begin, so we can’t start a war in winter, right?

Sun Ce planned to go west to make a strategy, but Qin Song threw the account book directly in front of her, which was very tempting to resign.

In the end, it was Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, and even Sun Ce who persuaded her to calm down.

When a woman becomes an official, sometimes she will inevitably become more emotional...

"If there is not enough money, of course we have to find a way to make money." Zhu Xin replied, "But in another month, the caravans going to the Western Regions will come back. Don't look at the chaos in various places, everything will not be messed up in the end. The accounts are made public when the goods are sold. If you don't make money, local wealthy families can not blindly plant cotton and mulberry trees, weave cloth and burn porcelain to sell them to the Western Regions."

When the caravan comes back, the government can of course make money.

Although the goods are paid by major tyrants themselves, they can make money, and the government also needs to collect commercial taxes.

The Western Regions are very profitable, in other words, the commercial tax is also sufficient. The only shame is that it is only once a year!

The Western Regions caravans are really cash cows, and a large amount of goods are exchanged for taxes.

The Han Dynasty relied on this trade route very much. Whether the court had the money to pay salaries to officials was very important.

At least, since 184, the court was in such a situation.

Sometimes Zhu Xin sighed that he could make so many people think that the house of everything has existed since ancient times, and his ability is indeed powerful.

To be honest, if the history of Wanshiwu is fictional, then are the major guilds also fictional?

According to this logic, are the people from major guilds also the mastermind behind the scenes?

Sometimes it is not good to know the truth of the world. Just like in "The Matrix", some people think that they have to face reality and then rebuild human civilization. Some people think that reality is too difficult, and it is better to go back to the virtual world to live a good life.

After all, I knew that this steak was fake, but my brain feedback came back. This is a steak, it was so delicious and so juicy.

Speaking of foreigners eating meat, why does it seem that juicy becomes a hard standard?

No wonder I highly recommend mature beef so much, after all, the gravy is more than twice that of ordinary beef!

"We have this money, and others have it too. Whoever has a larger territory will have more commercial taxes." Sun Ce felt that it was boring to do this. On the contrary, because of this tax, everyone wanted to expand their territory.

From another perspective, if Cao Cao did not start a war with Yuan Shao in two years, then she would really have no way to start a war.

Yuan Shao, who owns the commercial taxation of the three states, is probably already fully armed and crushed it in one go.

"Now the whole man is fighting, and luxury goods are mainly bought from the Western Regions, and local ones are not very competitive. Unless they are relatively high-quality cloth and silk, or extremely cheap coarse linen..." Zhu Xin said casually, "What industry can make money? We have a small shop for a moment of relaxation, which is already the limit!"

If it is really so easy to make money, then everyone will not export goods to the Western Regions. Only the Western Regions market continues to purchase their goods from energy sources, so there is no need to worry about unsalable sales.

"That's why I want to ask you, what is the most valuable business now?" Sun Ce asked back.

"Now..." Zhu Xin thought for a while, "arms! Arrows, armor, weapons and horses, these things are all valuable!"

Or it must be valuable. Without these things, how to fight and win? A group of excellent soldiers with sufficient combat experience have lost a lot of personnel due to weapons and equipment issues. Any general will feel bleeding!

Even because of lack of military equipment, I ended up losing the war, which was a bit of a loss!

It’s not that the soldiers cannot fight, they have nothing to fight with others, and they lose this battle so much that they are furious!

"Where does the iron come from?" Sun Ce of course knew, but is there high-quality iron ore in Jiangdong?

Even if there is, there is still a need for subsequent iron smelting, and I don’t know how much charcoal is needed.

Fortunately, the Craftsmen Guild is mainly responsible for the production of high-end weapons and armor, otherwise it is equivalent to monopolizing the production industry of weapons and armor.

"How to reduce the cost of iron smelting is more critical than iron ore?" Zhu Xin retorted. Traditional iron smelting uses black charcoal, and there is no crucible. To smel the iron ore into iron ingots, it takes a lot of manpower and charcoal fire to melt the iron ore into iron ingots.

This overhead naturally also needs to be included in the iron tool. Coupled with the problem of craftsmanship, the iron tool has not reached its peak.

In terms of price, because iron tools are very expensive, even agricultural tools only have a little iron part on the top, and the others are made of wood.

"Is there a way?" Sun Ce immediately came to the mood. Nowadays, not to mention weapons and armor, even if the iron ingots are sold, as long as the price can be kept, it will still be very profitable. Basically, all states and counties need this thing!

"To increase the firepower, you can change it to white charcoal, and then it's nothing more than improving the blower. If you want to further increase vitality and reduce costs, you can use carbonite."

"The carbonite thing is not only burned with a large piece of smoke, but the iron created is also evil iron. Weishi, although I am not very familiar with these things, I don't know anything." Sun Ce said seriously.

The main reason is that some people have tried it like this before, but it failed. Not only did coal not become the fuel for iron smelting, but they even did not use coal to make fires.

Taking a step back, there are so many mountains and forests in Yangzhou, and there is no shortage of charcoal at all. Who uses coal?

"It's okay to use it directly, you have to change the method..." Zhu Xin replied. Even in modern times, steelmaking uses coking coal, and he will not use coal to make steel directly. However, the coking process does cause costs and consumption, and it also pollutes the environment...

In addition, it is made into honeycomb coal or even coal balls to smelify iron. This process is called non-coke iron smelting.

Anyway, I don’t expect to improve my equipment by shaping steel. I just make some money by selling iron and selling it, and the cost can be controlled.

"Tell me earlier!" In an instant, let alone Sun Ce, even Zhang Zhao and Qin Song shouted out, "Why didn't you say this earlier?"

Obviously, this is the fastest way to make money in the shortest time!
