Chapter 385: Rich and strong collar

After all, the chaos in Cold Wind City should be calm, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to put too much energy on the fight among the elites. After digging out the secret room of the site of the Supervision Office, he led his team out of Coldwind City and arrived at the Fabro Manor outside the city.
As the Chief Alchemist, Fabro has a territory in Cold Wind City. However, he was not good at business and only used a small part of the territory to build a manor. There are only more than 300 people in the manor, mainly to serve Fabro.
The territory of Fabro is actually quite large, with a total area of ​​seven or eight square kilometers. Five kilometers north of Cold Wind City, the vast wilderness, rivers, hills, and woodlands belong to the ‘Alchemy Chief’ and now belong to Zhou Qingfeng.
Standing on the hillside of the manor, look up to see the edge of the Black Forest in the distance, and the towering ice fields. Melting glaciers in the mountains converge into rivers and meander through the place.
The terrain here is flat, the land is fertile, and the water is plentiful. If you are careful, you can cultivate thousands of acres of arable land to support tens of thousands of people.
In the sun, the cold wind is cold and refreshing. Faced with this new territory, Zhou Qingfeng said with emotion: "Fabro is a wasteland, but he does not know how to use it, and wastes the land and water here.
From today, it is renamed 'Fujian Autonomous Territory'. I am the lord of this place. The government office of Hexie Village will move here.
Hilly, Rubio, Wilson, I appoint you as the Chief and Deputy Officer of the 'Prosperity Leader'. You put together the management structure. "
Behind Zhou Qingfeng, all the people in the Harmonious Village system gathered, accepting the sequential appointment of the lord. Government affairs, military affairs, agriculture, commerce and trade, medical and health care, engineering construction, education and training, etc. all need to arrange for designated officials.
"Gathering the backbone from Harmony Village, resettle the thousands of refugees recruited here before. Now it is winter. Before the spring of next year, I will build enough houses, dams, ditches, farmland, workshops.
We started in the Black Forest, but here we are. As long as the development is stable for two years, grain, cloth, timber, mines, and ironware will no longer be scarce. The entire Northland will be our room for expansion. "
Speaking of excitement, Zhou Qingfeng lashed out and drove his horse. The crowd was behind them, and they followed closely. The hoof was rolling all the way, full of spirit. Arriving outside the manor, the original manor housekeeper greeted him kneeling with his more than 300 slaves.
Zhou Qingfeng looked down on his horse and laughed loudly. He is no longer a bun from the Black Forest, and since then has been a true aristocracy with powerful palms-capable, prestigious, and possessive, and no one can take it lightly.
After killing Fabro, Zhou Qingfeng led the team to clean up the abyss sacrifice. Only then was he free to count his harvest. Rubio whispered to him: "Master, Fabro's manor has a small population, but he does a lot of business himself."
‘Alchemy Chief’, it ’s natural to have a lot of money. Fabro makes and sells potions and magical items, and his subordinates are not idle.
"Doing food business?" Zhou Qingfeng is most concerned about food.
The output of grain outside the border is low, and agricultural technology is backward. The northern region is particularly bitterly cold, and can only be cultivated one season a year, and the average yield of wheat is only tens of kilograms. Farmers have to grow some grains to support their livelihoods, and residents are generally malnourished.
"No," Rubio shook his head. "Fabro monopolizes half of the precious metal mines around Coldwind. Especially the river in his territory is a treasure.
Bruno at the forging site said the river had flowed out of the ice field and the water had flattened there. A large amount of gold sand has settled in the sediment at the bottom of the river, and there must be a large gold mine at the source of the river. "
Gold mine? !!
Zhou Qingfeng was stunned.
Fabro has more than three hundred slaves, half of whom are engaged in gold rush work. In the cold winter, all the people have to go to the cold river water to screen for golden sand. The sifted golden sand is packed in small glass bottles, and Huang Chancan is very beautiful.
Because Zhou Qingfeng came very fast, he had strong control afterwards. There were no disturbances to the people on the estate, and all buildings and belongings were preserved. Rubio presented the bottles of golden sand in stock as treasures, shining in the sun.
"Arsi." Zhou Qingfeng called softly.
The mechanical magician stepped forward to receive the glass bottle filled with gold sand, poured out a few distinguished one or two, and nodded: "Master, this is indeed gold sand, high-grade. I can conduct a systematic exploration of the entire river in the territory. More discoveries.
Once the mine is found, we have better technology to separate and screen, so we don't need slaves to work by hand, and the mining efficiency is even higher. I feel that I am afraid that there is not only gold, but also other minerals. "
With regard to mining, the efficiency of using machinery is hundreds of thousands of times that of manual labor. Even with a centrifuge, you can easily screen out minerals with different specific gravity.
Hahaha ... Zhou Qingfeng smiled and scratched his head. "Although I don't lack money, no one will ever abandon too much gold in my hand."
Gold is a universal hard currency. More precious than it, without it a large amount. It's bigger than it, it's not as precious as it is. Whether in the other world or in reality, gold has a good liquidity.
Rubio also flattered: "Master, Fabro was originally the largest coin merchant in Cold Wind City. He used the golden sand in the river to mint currency and became rich in oil."
Fabro is finished, and Zhou Qingfeng has all his possessions. Gold is also a kind of magic metal. Just in the underground alchemy laboratory of the manor, you can find more than 500,000 gold coins.
Hmm ... Zhou Qingfeng nodded heavily after hearing the words, Shen Sheng said: "In the future, we also need to do coin work. But don't go out of gold, try hard to promote our" platinum coins ", you can talk to gold coins Peer-to-peer exchange. "
Zhou Qingfeng previously exchanged cold silver from the real world with cheap silver, while promoting the cheaper 'iron coins' and 'platinum coins'.
The "iron coin" made of stainless steel has been greatly welcomed, and the civilian class lacks a "common currency". It has long been hoped that there can be a coin with a lower value than the copper coin.
But compared to 'iron coins', the 'platinum coins' promoted by Zhou Qingfeng are less recognized. His 'platinum coin' is not platinum, but an aluminum-zinc alloy. It's a dime coin in the real world.
Cheating!
The density of the aluminum-zinc alloy is low, and it gives a low-grade feeling. But aluminum has its own special characteristics. It must be electrolyzed to obtain it on a large scale.
Don't expect ‘electrolysis’ in the other world. Aluminum is an authentic precious metal.
Zhou Qingfeng wanted to obtain a large amount of gold by means of exchange, but aluminum-zinc alloys were generally resisted. So he can only ..., "In the future, our platinum and gold coins will be exchanged one to one. Ten to one is really unscrupulous."
Rubio didn't understand, but he also knew that his master's "Platinum Coin" was afraid of being inferior. Strange maids such as Arcie know that 'Platinum Coins' are more than inferior. In the real world, even doors and windows are made of aluminum.
"We have the ability to mint coins, and we can open a bank in the future. Now the usury in Cold Wind City is too scary, which seriously hinders the development of commerce and the economy. The bank we open can use low-interest loans to attract businessmen.
The interest rate should not be too high, as long as the annual interest rate does not exceed 36%. "Zhou Qingfeng was cheerful. Others felt that the interest rate was really low, only the strange maids rolled their eyes one by one.
His owner has always been unscrupulous.
